THE NEW YORK CHARTER.
Veto Of Il by Governor HOfrman-Opin.
ions Of the Press.

New YORK, May 1.-The Tribune
avs that Governor Hoffman has vetoed
the reformed city charter, as was ex-
pected. If his reasons had been sound
b ismessage need not have been half 50
.ong. Among the list Of his reasons is
that the charter proposes 70 do some
thing differently from the way in which
thew have hitherto been done. However,
the charter is dead, and there is no
time to make another. Society must
get on for another year under Tweed's
coutrivance as best il may.
The Sun says Governor HOftman's
veto Of the charter for this city viii meet
the approval Of a great majority Of the
peopleofthe State, irrespective Of party.
The Times says that although it anti
eipated the veto Of the charter it is dis
sefisfied thereat, and thinks that the
Governors lengthy statementof reasons
forfhis decision less weighty than might
have been anticipated.
The World calls the message tlucid,
cogent and admirable.'

THE WASHINGTON TREATY
Letter from Hon. John Stewart Mill, Of
England.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The Tribune
says, in reply to an inquiry, Mr.. John
Stewart Mill writes as follows respect
ing the treaty of Washington:
AVIGNoN, March Cit is perfectly
true that unfortunately a difference Of
Interpretation has been put upon the
treaty Of Washington by the two par
ties. 1t does appear 10 me a proper sub
ject for reference to arbitration and to
the very arbitrator provided by the
treaty, unless the parties prefer and can
agree upon some other tribunal. If
there is any value at all in the principle
Of international arbitration, there is
surely no subject to which that principle
can be more httingly applied than 20 de-
termining the true sense of an inter
national engagement. We may regret
that this method Of settling national
differences should be subjected to so Sc
we're a trial at so early a period in its
history, bat we should not be therefore
justified in repudiating it in n Of the
very cases which require II most.

THELABOR REFORMERS
Morning SesSiOn--TempOrary Or

Temporary Officers.
Patriotic Speech Of Judge StallO,
of Cincinnati, Tempo
rary President.

CINCINNATI, Mayl.-Thelonglooked
for day for the assembling Of the two
conventions came in with lowering
skies. At times during the morning
there were dashing rains, which some
what interfered with outdoor move
ments. The trains Of the night preced-
ding and the early morning had brought
many achievements, so that the we'll
filed city of the evening before had few
places at the hotels where the fresh
arrivals could find comfortable rooms.
Mozart Hall, where the
REUNION AND REFORM CONvENTION
holds its session, did not ill up rap
idly, aud when the hour arrived for the
opening of the convention, there were
comparatively few people present.
Twenty minutes after ten the number
had swelled to four or five hundred. Al
this hour Judge William B. Caldwell,
President of the Cincinnati Reunion and
Reform Association, called the eonven-
ton to order, andnOminated J. b. StallO,
of Cincinnati, temporary President.
Judge Stallo, on appearing on the stage,
was received with considerable applause.
He then delivered the following

Making Sand.Paper.

The American Builder gives the follow
ing simple directions for making sand
paper, which will be both interesting
and useful for the woodworker. Sand
paper forms one Of the most important
items of expense with the carpenter
who has any fine work to do; and since,
IS rule, he buys instead OF manufac.
turing this material, knowledge of the
means by which he can produce sand
paper Of q superior quality, at almost a
nominal cost, must prove of value. The
device for making it is simple and at
hand TO any one who has occasion to
use the paper. A quantity of ordinary
window glass is taken-that having a
green color is said to be the best-and
pounded fine, after which it is poured
through one or more sleeves OF different
degrees of fineness, to secure the glass
for coarse or fine paper. Tken any
tough paper is covered evenly with glue
having about one-third more water than
is generally employed for wood work.
The glass is sifted upon the paper; al
low day or two in which to become
fixed in the glue, when the refuse glass
is shaken of, and the paper is fit for
use. This sand-paper costs little, and
is better than that ordinarily bought, in
which sand is frequently mingled with
the glass. The suggestion here made is
certainly worthy of note.

To Keen Hams in Summer.

Some bag them and whitewash the
bags, which is troublesome and some
what expensive; some cover them with
dry wood ashes and pack them in bar
rels; some pack them in barrels and
cover thoroughly with pine shavings /;
but the best plan of all, and certainly
the least expensive with all who have a
smoke.house, and every farmer should
have good one, is to keep the hams
hung up in the smoke.house, which
should be kept perfectly dark at all times.
Hams so kept, two years old, were
among the best we ever tasted. Uni
form darkness is complete protection
against the attack of insects.

Concrete Buildings.

A large number of buildings are erect
ing in Chicago of concrete, formed of
one part of Louisville cement, three
parts of sand, ashes, and the fine parts
of the burned rubbish. This is mixed
into thin paste, and laid into molds
of boards, stone, and debris from the
burned buildings are imbedded firmly
into it as as c.ose as possible. In forty
eight hours the mass becomes set and
hard as stone, and walls two feet thick
are sufficiently substantial for large
buildings. Unskilled laborers can be
thus employed under ropersupervision,
which, added to the cheapness of the
materials, renders these buildings of far
less cost than ordinary ones.

ernors of Georgia, tried to fight duel
lately, but their back. bones went back
on them severely. Toombs first blus-

impression that Brown was down on
duels. Brown got word some way that
Toombs intended the thing as bluff,
and had no idea of showing his hand,
whereupon he furiously accepted
Toombs' imaginary challenge. At this
juncture both men took deadly fright
and no more has been heard from either

What I Know About Farming.

the other fellow paid all the taxes on
the farm with his share of the profits.
BY mutual consent we both quit that
farm at the end of the year.
What l know about farming amt
worth Dragging about anyhow. If man

all the work himself, and feed his fam

bees.
