Coferidge was remarkably awkward
horseman. so much SO as generally to at
tract notice. He was once riding along q
turnpike road, when a wag approaching
noticed his popularity. and thought the
rider a fine subject for little sport, when,
as he drew near, he thus addressed the
poet: Il say, young man, did you meet a
tailor on the road :" YES replied Cole

Among the remarkable gas wells in this

Among the remarkable gas wells in this
county, is the Newton well, six miles from
Titusvills, Pennsylvania. 1t was discov
cred last year, and produces 100000 OF
cubic feet of gas every twenty-four hours.
sThe gas issues under a pressure of from
swenty to thirty pounds per square inch,
and for the most part goes to waste. Pipes
have been laid to Titusviile, and some go
dwelling houses, shops, etc, are now sup
sIied with gas for illumination and fuel.
For heating purposes it is admirable, but
For illumination it requires to be passed
through naptha, as it is deficient in carbon.

POLICE EXPENSES.

The police commissioners reminded rs
yesterday morning of little bill in be.
half OF the Metropolitan force. which we
will at once be called upon to provide for
The total estimate for the district is
67.273 it, of which the city of New
Orleans will have to pay 1913. 597 Sc. or.
In short, nearly all the apportionment.
The people have generally come to re-
gard our police department as a very ex.
pensive luxury. and various suggestions
have been made to reduce the cost.
There is little doubt that something OF a
saving might be made without impairiny
the efficiency Of the force. Probably
total OF four hundred men, including
captains. sergeants. corporals. clerks and
operators, patrolmen and doo,men. would
be ample for all purposes during peacea-
BILE times. Authority should be given to
swear in as many special officers as may
be. from time to time. necessary in cases
OF tumult Or threatened riot. 1t is very
certain that with the telegraph at entire |
command and street cars running through
every part OF the city orders can be trans
mitted speedily. and details of men
moved from enc district to another with
great facility. 4 well organized force of
three hundred patrolmen. with compe-
tent subalterns. under the command of a
capable superin tendent. is. in our judy
ment. quite enough for the whole Metro
politan district. Here We would have p
very material reduction Of expenses with
'ut any apparent loss Of service. One
hundred and seventy-seven men represent
II expense Of over two hundred thou
and dollars year. for which sum the
ervices rendered by this number of su.
'e'fluous force is no practical compensa-
ion.
Again. the propriety of continuing the
olice board. with its very expensive CEN .
raj department. is seriously questioned. +
he cost Of keeping up the central de. {
artment is estimated at eighty.eieht {
lousand five hundred and twenty.three c
ollars. Of which doubtless tie following ,
ems could be saved ,

We fail to see any satisfaction in paying
more than sixty thousand dollars q year
for services which could be imposed upon
another body Of the city government. and
thus dispense altogether with a depart
ment that was only intended at the outse.
to continue till the necessity that sug-
gested its creation had passed away.
II will be for the Legislature, at its next
session. to decide whether the time has
come to remit the control Of the police
force to the regularly constituted city
authorities, Or to go on for another year
at an unnecessary expense Of about a
quarter Of million Of dollars.

What has poor Shreveport done to merit
so many petty stsbs. Afflicted as she is
with i fearful scourge, one would think
the little scribblers Of the press would
cease for awhile their cllatiering against
the friendly hands that are reached on: TO
help her. Lieutenant Governor Antoine
sent fifty dollars 70, the relief of the
stricken city. and the v;rtuous HerolI
turned up its nose az though it was Of
Tended and inquired il the money was
clean. Governor Kellogg contributed
one thousand dollars. and provoked bitter
comments not only from two or three citv
papers who hare not given cent. SO far
rs We have heard. and was foully assaiied
by the Shreveport Times fox daring to
sympathize with the affections of a de.
spairing people. And now. since President
Grant has ordered the prompt delivery of
five thousand rations to the poor, half
starved people whom the yellow scourge
has spared, the New Orleans Times vents
its spleen as follows:
When the President ordered five thou.
sand army rations for suffering and starry
ing people III Shreveport. he made a much
better use of the War Department than he |
made of the Treasury Department. when
he undertook TO renenish the suffering and |
starving banks of New York with currency |
by the purchase Of bonds.
Perhaps the Times has an interes; in a
corner grocery at Shreveport. and is pro-
vohed at Grant for thus lowering the price
OF provisions Nothing but ignorance.
stupidity or malice could provoke a man

truments employed. but by the people

,ork saved New Orleans, or at leas: pro-
ided the means of salvation. The Re-
party comes very near to perfect {
beiience to the sublime injunction of

4 SUBSTITUTE FOR CURRENCY.

The merchants of this city are deter
mined to keep up their business in spite
OF the scarcity of currency. /. has been
generally known 10 the public that certi-
lied checks would be freely received in
payment 70, all kinds of past indebted
ness. as well as for fresh purchases. 1t
hardly needed such a publication as APP
pears III another column of the REpuB.
tIcAS to satisfy any intelligent man that
he need not want for anything as long as
his credit is good in one Of the banks; yet
IN orCer to settle all doubts, a large mum.
Der OF mercantile firms have signed their
names to the assurance, in the hope to
cave parties from sacrificing their checks
tor currency. Under this agreement,
which is very general throughout the city,
there is but little necessity for ready
money. except by those who employ
large number of hands in manu-.
featuring. executing contracts for public
works. conducting printing offices, etc.
Our merchants who haze notes filling
due IN bank are very glad to get checks
for their dues and goods. One member
of house doing rery large bust
aess remarked, the other day, that
hey would be glad to receive
'hecks for all their outstanding accounts
or the previous month. and could afford |
o allow ten per cent premium on them.
Cor local purposes check is as good as

bic to turn every dollar they hold in
aper into gold they could do no better
nan they are now doing
