NEW YoRK, March Banking men

the Internal Revenue Department at
Washington toestablish all inquisitOrial
system Of investigation into the manner
Of transacting business at the banks, with
Il view to learning whether any checks
which were not properly stamped have
been paid. The banks were called upon
to furnish evidence Of any carclessnCss
or omission on their part IN this respect,
the object being to collect the penalty Of
fifty dollars for every check discovered to
have been paid without stamp. At an
informal conference yesterday between
Williams, President Of the Metropolitan

Interpretation Of the tax law. Yesterday
they ielcgraphed for reply, md received
in answer II telegram stating that the
letter was coming.

The Howard University, at Washing
ton, established by the national bounty
for the benefit of the colored man, is
represented as being in bad condi-
ton, and getting worse. j. N. Lang
ston, the colored President of the in
stitution has been supplanted, and Rev.
George Whipple, white man, put in
his place. Like the Freedmen s Savings
Bank, the University is not run for the
benefit of the colored race, but simply
to give its white managers an oppor-
tunity to make money.

A TRAVELLER gives the following as
the only correct mode of eating oranges;
You must cut the yellow skin off care
fully at night, leaving the white pocket
inside whole. Cut off the head of the
orange leaving small raw spot ex-
posed. Set the oranges out OF doors,
so that the dew may fall on them, and
in the morning the white skin will be
tough and juice tight, at the breakfast
table grasp your orange with napkin
as you would newly-boiled egg. and
as you eat an egg through its broken
shell, so press the juice of your orange
through it's outer rind. Squeeze every
drop into the mouth. Serve another
orange, and still another, in the same
way. And so keep on squeezing and
sucking and sucking and squeezing.
The more orange juice you swallow the
better for the stomach, the blood, and
the entire man. No one need be afraid
to thus dispose of a dozen oranges be-
fore breakfast.

AT the Court of Emperor William the
imperial word weighs heavily and
solemnly. If you want to squint, 1t
alone can give the permission. Since
Chancellor Bismarck rose to power
through the sheer irrepressibility of his
will and talents, intriguers have tried to
trip him up in the eyes and ears of
this solemn Majesty. These intriguers
imagined fondly they had secured their
bird catcher In the person of Arnim.
The latter worked most zealously to
show his master that Bis. frequently
erred in his policy, and was not much
of a Chancellor, all told; hut this zeal
was unavailing, and the fowler was
caught in his own snare.

The body of Michael Downing, who
has been missing for the last six weeks,
was found last week by the Indians
near Walters ranch, on the Battle
Mountain and Austin road. The man
had been murdered and the body
burned, and nothing remained but the
bones. The Reveille says that Down.
ing owned and was working small
wood ranch near Silver Creek, and that
there had been trouble in the vicinity
about land. The Coroner left Austin
to hold an inquest on the remains, and
it is hoped that his investigations will
throw some light upon the horrible
affair, and that the guilty will be
brought to punishment.
