PENsIONING PRESIDENT GRANT.

The Washington correspondents say
that tue project of pensisnlng President
GRANT in some lat office with nothing
to do and matter of ton thousand dollars
or :" to spend every year, is seriously
considered, notwithstanding the emphati-
denlals that have been made. General
BANKS, GEO. i. tloAK and Prot. SEELYE
are members of Congress, who are said
% have promised To speak IN favor of the
proposition, so that it would seem 10 be
originally and altogether n Massachusetts
idea. Bul Gen. BANKS is represented AS
saying that the suggestion first came
from Democrat, who declines to pub
llcly father it but evidently thinks it
would be polite move for his party TO
give q sop to Cerberus. There may be
something of seriousness in the matter,
viewed in that light, after all. Consid-
ering how much good ULYSSES could do
the Democratic cause just now by keeping
upthe work which he began by dismisslng
BRlSrow, JEWELL, WILSON, PRATT and
iARrAN, it might turn out a strong card,
II the promise Of pension would induce
hm TO pardon all the whiskey thieves
and kick out what honest men still re-.
main in office 10 make pleasant berths
ior the ring crowd. Then 1t would be q
very good thing to have his excellency
disposed to smoothe the way to the White
House when his Democratic successor

"CHIppING IN" FOR $4,000.

Chandler and thirty-nine others
"chlpped in" or were to have "chipped
in," q thousand dollars apiece, to set
intermediary" and Commissioners OF
Public Buildings and Grounds and
Major of Engineers Babcock on his feet
again after his trial at st. Louis. why
shouldn't as much be done by Republi-
can leaders and party managers for
Babcock's friend, Belknap2 Will Grant

Brother Orvil put his Dame down Tor

When BABCoCK was acquitted at st
Louis, the joy Of such Republicans as
CHANDLER, who is now Secretary of the
Interior and Chairman OF the Repubi-
can National C0mmittee, was expressed
IN the most extravagsnt CALCULATIONS.
But they did not stop at that. The poor,
innocent BABCoCK was to be remuner-
sted for the trouble and expense to
which he had been subjected. A sub
scription list was started, the projectors
OF which declared their purpose OF
raising Forty Thousand Dollars for the
prosecuted Private Secretary OF the
President, Commissioner of Public Build
ings and Major OF Engineers BABcocK'
tie innocent victim of a set OF consplra-
tors, who was to be consoled by all these
pleasant demonstrations on the part OF
his friends and countrymen. All this
happy prospect was soon dispelled by
the indictment Of the Safe Burglary case
another conspiracy against the
Presidents pet. But if "BAB" did not
get the present OF $4,000, he still held on
to two good otiicos-that OF Commissioners
of Public Buildings and also that OF
Major OF Engineers in the regular ser
vice. Subsequent testimony has devel-
oped that he WAS clearly guilty in the
whisky cases, but that GRANT saved
him. The administration has shielded
both BABCoCK aud BELKNAP. That's
the way the Republican party punIshes

TO OBTAIN FRUIT FROM BARREN
TREES.

A correspondent Of the -Anseyacaa
Agrlclltatrist says til wish to
describe to you a msthod of making
fruit trees bear that I blundered OH.
Some fifteen years ago / had small
apple tree that leaned considerably.
/ drove stake by it, tied a string to
a limb, and fastened it to the stake.
The next year that limb blossomed
full, and not another blossom ap-
peared on the tree, and, as Tim
Bunker said, 1T sot me thinking, ;
and came to the conclusion that
the string was 50 tight that it pre-
vented the sap returning to the roots,
consequently it formed fruit buds.
Having a couple Of pear trees that
were large enough to bear, but had
never blossomed, I took coarse
Irvine and wound it several times
around the tree above the lower
limbs, and tied it as tight as I could.
The next Spring all the top above
the cord blossomed as white as a
sheet, and there was not one bios
som below where the cord was tied.
A nelghbor, seeing my trees loaded
with pears, used this method with
the same result. [ think it is a
much better way than cutting off
the roots. In early Summer, say
IN June or July, wind a strong
twlne several times around the tree,
or a single limb, and tie it. the
tighter the better, and you will be
pleased with the result; the next
Winter or Spring the cord may be
taken off.

WOMEN IN THE UNIVERSITY.

WOMEN In The UNIV ERSlI4.
The President Of the University says;
During the past year, the young wo-
men have been put, in al respects. on
precisely the same footing in the Uni
versity with young men. No Difficult
ties have arisen from it. There were
eight young women among the graduates
at the last commencement. Their aver
age scholarship was certainly as high as
that of he young men, and they were
apparently in good health. We finds
however, that the young women in at
tendance at the University should DC
sheltered from the claims Of general
society, and that they cannot meet The
exactions in dress, labor, and tim e, incl
dent to society, without suffering either
in health or scholarship, or in both.

ELDERBERRY BRANDY.

This is valuable remedy for dys-
EMERY and weakness, which so many
persons suffer with during the Sum-
mer months. It should be laid away
for future use.
Select the ripest elderberries you
can find, and after picking tn m
from the stems, to five quarts of
berries add two quarts Of water. boil
we'll then mash and strain through
a colander. After all the juice is
extracted add two quarts of water,
then half an ounce Of whole cloves,
half an ounce of whole allspice, two
grated nutmegs, one tablespoonful
Of powdered ginger, one do. of Gin
namon, a little lemon and orange
peeling. Boil all well three hours
over slow fire, then add two quarts
of the best Mononghahela whisky Oh
brandy, according to taste.
The above will keep for years,
and will be found a Wholesome
drink and an excellent medicine,
which few refuse TO accept.

BANKING IN A BURIED CITY.


The Italian paper Perseverance,
contains some remarks about the
three hundred writing tablets of a
Pompeiian banker at Pompeii. 1t
says that in nearly all of the little
books, containing three tablets each,
the four inner sides are covered with
wax on which fine, small writing
is to be seen. They contain agree
ments about loans, on which a GER
tain rate Of interest is to be paid.
First, the debtor acknowledges to
having received the money (the sum
being expressed in words), and
promises to pay it at certain date,
with a surplus cf interest; secondly,
they contain the date, the names Of
the duumylri, the town authorities,
and the two consuls. The names
of the witnesses are written under
this, and seal is fastened to the
two tablets, on which the contract
is written, with cord. Sometimes
the creditor wrote short extract Of
the contract on the magrin. The
bankers name is T.. Caius Tucun-
dus. His life-size bronze bust,
which is one of the most interesting
at Pompeii, has also been recovered.

Sources of Fraud on the Customs

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.
A statement authorized on scmi-oflicial
authority is that frauds on the customs
amounting to from five to seven millions
per year have been perpetraied here. A
large proportion Of the smuggling is by way
of Panama, dutiable merchandise being
ostensibly shipped here 10 New York and
vice versa, but on arrival of the steamer at
Panama other packages are substituted con-
tanning goods answering the description in
the manifest. The informant also stated
that large amounts of Mexican wool en-
tiers the country free of charge, being
landed on Catalina Island. off the southern
coast, where there is fac harbor and no
custom officers, thence shipped here as the
product OF the island. He estimated that
by these and other means the government
is annually defrauded of nearly fifty per
cent. of tue revenue.

an attack, he would have been nearly be-

About II o'clock at night Consul Wilson

his instant release, which was complied
with. Reports are that orders were re-
ceived from Washington yesterday direct

protect American citizens. 1t is reported
that the president has directed that the
foreign residents of Matamoras shall be

Dyer, United States district attorney at St.

hours, and was exhaustive. Mr.. Dyer now
seems to think that all the suspicious which
he frankly admits he at one time enter
tanned of everybody at Washington, except
Secretary Bristow and Solicitor Wilson,
we're groundless. The testimony taken
before the grand jury was given to the de-
Tense by grand juror named Fox, one of
Two who voted against Babcock's lndict-
nent, and who afterward came here and
gave the testimony away, getting in some
way his son appointed to some office. Col.
Dyer left for St. Louis this evening. Mr..
Knott inf ,rme him he would be needed
again within week or ten days.
