CAVILING CURTIS.
Orr FOreIgn-BOrn Citizens and the
American Revolution.
Irish World.

In the Nothing address deliv-
cred by the editor Of Hdrper's Weekly,
G. W. Curtis, at Concord, April IS,
he said:
In the State of Massachusetts, to-day
the number Of citizens of foreign birth,
who have no traditional association
with the story Of Concord and Lexing-
ton, is larger than the entire popula-
ton Of the State on the day Of battle
As this malicious fling was directed
especially at the Irish element, let us
see whether the statement is entirely
accurate. Montgomery, lafayette, Bar
~, Steuben and KosciuskO were born
on the other side of the Atlantic; Ben
edict Arnold on this side. Further
more, is 1t not possible that even a for.
eign-bOrn citizen may Rave a direct
traditional association with the bat
ties and events of the Revolution?
Might not an Irishman have stood mp
at Concord and informed George w.
Curtis that, when the British were raw
aging that village IN l775, its records
were saved by Thomas Cargill, a native
of Ballyshannon? Have the Irisb-
American societies of Boston no
traditional association" with the
historic conflict on Bunker Hill? Why,
the grass that crowned its summit was
believed with the hearts blood of the
Celt. "Appleton's Cyclopedia," a
standard authority, sets many con-
ficting claims at Test by stating "the
first act Of armed hostility" in the CO.
lonial war was committed by an Irish
American, John Sullivan-afterward
Major General-whO, upon hearing
that the importation of gunpOwder had
been prohibited by royal proclamation,
swooped down, like a hawk, on Fort
William and Mary, near Portsmouth,
n. H. carrying off fifteen pieces
of artillery, one hundred pounds of
gunpowder, and all the small arms and
stores. The material thus secured
in December, IVA. did good SER
vice at Bunker Hill SIX months after
ward. On that historic height, ''sta-
toned behind the breastwork on the
left of the main body" were eight
hundred New Hampshire militia" al
most exclusively Irish, under Stark
and Reid, both of Londonderry"
When their ammunition was exhausted,
and they had at last to abandon the
hill, the survivors retired and reformed
under the command Of Sullivan; and it
was while crossing "the Neck" to take
up their new position that a round
shot carried away as gallant a soldier
as ever stood in the patriot ranks
Maj. Andrew McClary, whose great
size and desperate valOr made him
peculiarly conspicuous. "

sends. Bad white men come among
them and say bad things about agent.
You must not believe what these men
say, but listen to him and keep agent
among them"
HOW THE COMMISSIONER S REPLY
REACHES THE INDIAN MIND.
The Secretary or Commissioner,
makes fitting reply to the address of
the Chief, as translated by the inter-
prefer, expressing qualification that
they are well treated by the agent, and
assuring them that he shall be CONT
nued, etc. This is sthe character of
reply as the interpreter translates it to
the Indians.
"The Commissioner says he has lis
tened well to your complaint. He is
glad you came here to tell him this.
He says the agent shall be removed as
soon as you return, and a good man
shall be sent to take his place who will
be your friend, and not steal or lie. He
wants you to continue to be the white
mans friend, and the Great Father
Will increase your annuities, and give
you horses and gum"
The above is not an ideal case, Meth
er is it an isolated case. Gentlemen
entitled to belief say such cheating of
the Government and the Indians has
been of frequent occurrence, and the
affair outlined above was detailed to
your correspondent by a gentleman
who was present when the unblushing
fraud was perpetTated, and was made
acquainted with it by the interpreter
Of another band of Indians then pres
emf.

sMUGGLED FINERY.
How Wholesale Importers are Under
sSId-A Curious Auction and its Sud
den Termination.

New York sun, May 26.
They had q sale Of silk ribbons,
grapes, laces, etc, yesterday in VIII
merding, Hoguet & Co.'S auction
rooms. In not attending 1t the Gus
tom House officers missed the opportu-
nifty Of seeing imported goods sold
greatly below the American market
value, after the manner Of lawrence
struggled silks. After disDosing Of a
large quantity of ribbons at very low
prices, the aucuODeer started the bid
ding on lot 81, being twelve yards OF
double-extra fine treble Grape. Mr.. W.
@. Hitchcock, Of the firm Of Hitch.
cock & Potter, the heaviest importers
Of grapes IN the United States, bid
Sl.2O a yard, and 1t was knocked down
to him, after the price had been run
up to SL575.
The aUcuOneer was about to continue
with the next lot Of grapes, but Mr..
Hitchcock said in 4 determined tone,
Hold on. ! viii take all the rest Of
the lots, and the stock they represent,
at S35 per cent advance on the sworn
invoice cost, and viii pay the auction
eer's fees"
The offer fell Ike bombshell on the
bidders, most Of whom were jobbers be-
longing to a class known for their IN
scrupulOusness IN revenue transactions.
The sale was at once stopped, and the
auctiOneer consulted with the represen-
tative Of Philip Shulotf & Co. When
he got through be told Mr.. Hitchcock
that his bid was declined, after which
he proceeded with the the sale. The
remainder Of the treble grapes, about
twenty-seven lots, sold at from Sl55 to
81 s. a yard to different buyers. There
were five hundred pieces of Grape alto
gether, worth about 10000.
WHAT THE KNOWING ONES KNOW.
Merchants readily understand how
the grapes were sold so cheap. The
only firms who import treble Grape are
Hitchcock & Potter, the successors of
Becar & Co.; A. 7. Stewart & Co.,
Arnold & Constable, Bernhard & Hut
ton, and A De Greif & Co. They buy
direct from the manufacturers, Marete-
sing & Co, of Lyons, France. The duty
on the Grape is sixty per cent, gold,
ana II costs lEe uIul mere lIDA Cl.oO 10
s. Is a yard to put the goods in their
stores. This factis what makes yester-
days sale significant.
If Mr.. Hitchcock's bid had been ac-
cepted, "the well known manufacture"
would have had to make himself known,
and show by his sworn invoice how he
got his grapes 50 cheap that he could
sell them at SL57 yard. The inform
alton might have led to complications.
The "well known manufacturer" is SAID
to be a foreigner, who came to this
country five years ago and started as a
pack peddler. He soon owned a store,
and vas able to undersell all the in
porters who traded in his class Of goods.
Some Of them had to stop importing
and buy from him IN the New York
market.
a year ago he sold an elegant house
in which he lived up town, near Fifth
avenue, and leaving his business IN the
hands of agents, he went TO Europe.
He is still there.

sURREPIITIOUs LEGISLATION.

Encouraged by Administration
promises of reform, honest merchants
everywhere, and notably in New York,
ne volunteering in the exposure of
revenue frauds and the securing of the
requisite proofs, as well as suggesting
means for their future prevention.
Perhaps the most remarkable discovery
yet Is the ingenious manner In which
the laws have been tempered with in
the compilation Of the Revised Statutes,
with the evident double purpose of de-
frauding the Government and Of giving
additional protection" to manUfac-
turing mOnOpolies. CuriOusly enough,
nearly all the surreptitious changes in
the laws work to the interest
Of Pennsylvania prOtectionists, and
are therefore credited to the
industry and ingenuity of one
Blodge1t, an active lobbyist in that IN
terest, who seems to have been a
habitue Of the Committee room on Re
vision. Among the articles affected
by these alterations are iron bars for
railroads or inclined planes on which
the Revised Statutes make importers
pay seventy cents per 100 pounds,
while the law makes them pay but six
ty cents. Steel in any form, not 9TH
erwise provided for, pays thirty per
cent ad volorem. A provisO has been
added in the statutes, not found in the
law, exempting steel from damage al
lowances, while the law provides that
damage allowances shall affect all
imported merchandise. Manufacturers
Ofpaper on December, l, 1873, were
entitled to ten per cent. reduction, ex-
cepting unsized printing paper, books,
and other printed matter. Another ex-
ception is added In the Revised Stat
utes not found in the law-Of sized pa
per or glued paper suitable only for
printing paper. This last alteration
was made in the interest of a large
Philadelphia manufacturer Of sized
paper. These are but samples of many
Ike interpretations, changes and Onis-
sions. which can hardly be ascribed to
negligence, as tLey all work one way
against the people and in favor Of the
monOpoists.

GRANTS YHsF OF soIssoNs.

Thirteen hundred years ago Clovis,
King Of France, coveted an antique
vase found in sacking the city of
Rheims. This marvel fell to the lot of
a soldier Of his army. The soldier full
Of his rights as a Slcambian citizen,
would not give up his precious booty TO
the King. SCISSORS was then the CAPT
tai of France, and the distribution of
the spoiIs took place there. The King
yielded to the right Of the soldier, but
later at a review he saw tbas this man
vas standing out Of line and that bis
arms were rusty. He Glove his head
asunder with a blow Of his battle axe,
saying to him: Remember the vase
Of Scissors -
Motion and Blaine and Hartranft
may have the right to get up resolu-
tons against a third term and have
them passed through State COW, ntions
Of their party, and they may thereby
prevent Grant from getting the Re
publican nomination-tne, to him,
''Vase Of Scissors" But they VIII be
some time found out Of line, and with
their arms rusty. Then they viii be
made to remember the Vase Of Sois-
sons" Grant has power enough and
determination enough, if he should not
get the nomination to make it for an
other. Woe be to the aspiring Repub-
hcan who steps between him and the
object Of his ambition.

Washington Correspondence of the New York
Times
The chief Indian thus addresses the
Secretary in his native jargOn:
Il have Travelled many miles towards
the rising sun to lay my complaint be-
fore the Great Father. l and my peO-
pie are friends Of the white man. We
want 70 remain friends. The agent Of
the Great Father Is a bad man. He
does not issue to US what the Great
Father sends. We get from him five
cattle when we are entitled to ten.
The coffee and tobacco are bad, and the
blankets are rotten. The agent and
trader make heap money while Indians
suffer. We want the Great Father 10
take bad agent away, and send US good

The Interpreter translates the COM
plant Of the Chief in this manner:
He says he is glad to see you. He
wants to see the Great Father, and tell
him he is the friend Of his white chill
dren. He would Ike to have you send
him some good horses and guns, so be

are scarce, and he wants more beef and

them everything the Great Father
