the Hon. John II. Ketcham, ex-member of Congress
from the Poughkeepsie District, would be selected
for the third Commissioner, proved to be correct,
and be arrived here this morning to accept the ap
pointment which he did with reluctance, on account
of the pressure of bis priVated business.
His excellent business traits and personal
integrity, will make him q very useful member OF
the Commission, and his appointment Is regarded
here by all good citizens with high favor. The Com
mssoners have all filed their bonds, and they held
their first meeting this afternoon. Even with the
slight attention they have thus far been able 10
give to the subject they have discovered amazing
instances of extravaganza and mlsgovernment
There have been two governments in full operation
with separate books separate clerks, and all the OH
cial paraphernalia of government. 1t is found
that between 200 and 800 clerks and messen-
gers are employed. and that this immense
force which the Commissioners think is four tunes
larger than was ever needed has not been been paid
for six months. Messrs. Blow and Dennison have
devoted considerable time TO the subject, and the
three Commissioners are united IN the determina-
ton TO sweep away the extravagances OF the old
government The force of clerks will be reduced to
60, and savings on account of rents will also be
heavy. On Monday the Commissioners Will take
charge of the books. and as they can obtain
the money on the appropriation ef $l,3OO,0OO the
officers and employees of the District wllltbe pald
including the policemen.
Since the 10Th of June the city has been in the
charge of the Chief of Police be being the only
officer having any authority No other authority
has been recognized. and the clerks and employees
have been running at large doing as they pleased.
and responsible to nobody. Lieut.. HOxie who was
appointed member of the Board of Works in place
of Mr. Cuss has been detailed to report TO the Com
missoners as Engineer under the new law. His or
ders were in amusingly OstentatiOus language, he
being directed TO report to the Hon. Henry L.
Blow, at his parlOrs, at the Arlington Hotel" The
new Engineer was directed by the Commits
sioners to make an examination of the city
and of the improvements begun, reporting what
absolutely necessary to be done, and what may be
discontinued. The examination was made by Lieut..
Hoxie before the appointment of the Commission
ers, and he will submit his report on Monday. No
new work on the streets OF avenues will be begun.
The Commissioners appointed Mr.. Edwin L. Stan
ton son of the late Edwin NJ. Stanton, as
Attorney. Although closely connected with the old
Government, a part of the time Secretary of the
District and part of the time Attorney no word
of suspicion as to his integrity has ever been
uttered His abilities are sufficient for the place
and his knowledge of the laws of the District Will
make his services of unusual value

POSITION OF GREAT BRrTAN-srATEMENr OF TIE
EARL or DERBY IN TIE BRITISH HOUSE OF
LORDS.
LONDON Friday, July g. 1874.
In the House of Lords tonight the Earl of Den
bigh asked whether England was TO be represented
in the Brussels Congress. He sad the papers
relating thereto had an underhand appear
ance. The programme of the so-caled Uni
versal Society indicated that it primarily de-
sgned to promote humanity, particularly IN relation
10 the treatment of prisoners OF war. Ii now ap-
peared that the Emperor of Russia farhered the
whole affair. The programme contained articles
dealing with every contingency of war. Some OF
the proposed rules might cripple naval action.
The Earl of Derby Secretary Of State for the For
eIgn Department. replied that the feeling of uneasi-
ness was not all unnatural or unfounded and he was
glad of an opportunity to say something to dspe it,
The British Government had deferred its answer TO
the invitation to participate in the Congress until
the latest moment. 1t had given no par
ticular encouragement to the project; but
as all the great European Powers had con-
sented to take part in a Congress which aimed at
the mitigation of suffering it was Thought that an
absolute and unconditional refusal would be liable
to misrepresentations and the Government had,
therefore, decided to accept the invitation stpu-
lating that England was not 10 be required
to discuss the rules of international
law governing the relations of beliger-
ents or undertake any new engage
ment in regard to general principles. The scope Of
the Congress did not include matters relating 20
maritime warfare England would not send a rep
resentatlve unless she was distinctly assured on
these points and especially the last In any case
her representative would not be empowered to con-
sent to the adoption of any new rules. He would
simply watch and report the proceedings, the Gov
ernment reserYing full liberty Of action.

About twenty-five years ago, a young
mechanic in Boston overheard the remark
that fortune awaited the inventor Of
sewing machine. This aroused and dr.
rected his inventive faculties a spell was
upon him, which he could not resist. His
brains and hands were busy with needles
and threads and other devices, contriving
stitches for sewing and mechanism for
making them He finally fixed upon what
is known as the flock stitch as best for
forming seams by machinery, and devised
the mechanism for it.
This young mechanic is world-famous
as Elias Howe Jr., to whom, in the lam
guage Of Judge Sprague, of the United
States Circuit Court, for all the benefits
conferred upon the public by the introduce
ton Of the sewing machine, the public IS
indebted. He was not content to stop

venture of an intelligent sports
man of California is thus recorded:
"Billy Baker found almost con-
slant pastime in hunting and smo-
king. These two diversions SEEM
ed to be compatible, and, with a
pipe ia his mouth and a gun on
his shoulder, he wore out many
pairs of boots tramping through
the woods. 1t has been mention
ed that hunting and smoking
seemed compatible, but Mr.. Baker
is now other wise convinced. See
ing a bird on high branch with
its moving wings denoting an i'm
mediate intention of flying away,
he hastily took aim. The tobacco
smoke obscured his sight, and he
stuck the pipe in his pocket, where
his powder flask was. Four things
went off in the order mentioned

Bakers leg, and the bird"
