Pbe mystery of mysteries still con
tinues to be the Charley Ross abduc-
tion case. While tie world is grow
ing quiet upon the subject, the father
Of the lost child and the detective
agencies of the country continue their
endeavors to gain some clue of his
whereabouts Their last effort has
been with Mrs. Mosher, the widow of
one of the abductors, who has been
persuaded to call upon the convict
Westervelt, in che Pennsylvania Peni-
tentiary, and petition him to di ,ulge
whatever he may know of the stolen
boys fate. This she has done, but no
satisfaction has been derived from her
visit, the prisoner only reiterating his
testimony at his trial and affirming
again that, though one of the early
conspirators, he had no knowledge Of
the child's whereabouts at the time of
Mosher's death. Sc the mystery re-
mains unsolved, and grows deeper as
time goes on.

SCARCITY OF FRACTIONAL Cur.
RENoY.-The growing scarcity of frac-
tlonal currency causes great inconven-
lence at some of the banks In the
transaction Of their business. AL
though about $4,000 of new coin
nave been distributed from the Treas
ury, scarcely any of it is yet seen at
the ferries or in the street cars. The
inference is that most of the new issue
Is either boarded or kept In reserve as
curloslties. The coin new commands
a premium of 1a2 per cent. over the
counters of the bullion dealers, who
will not part With it for less than 8 or
4 per cent. premium. The removal
OF the 500 restriction would be re-

by the way was very convenient, was

fact that large quantities of two cent
bronze pieces are in circulation mis-
lead many business men. They NAV

redemption, but when they are so sent
they are sent to the melting pot. The
bronze one-cent piece is also subject

Belknap's Impe achment.

-WAsHINGToN u. c., April 81
At lz:3O the legislative business was
suspended, and the parchment trial
began.
Mr.. Lord submitted motion that
the evidence relating to the question
OF jurisdiction OF the Senate be given
before the argument relating thereto,
ana II such plea is overruled. that the
defendant be required to answered the
articles OF impeachment within two
Gays AID the Houses reply, if they
deem it necessary, with in two days,
and that the trial proceed the next dav
after the joining If the issue. Mr.
Carpenter. OF the counsel for the ac-
cused, moved that the trial be post
poned till the FIRST Monday of Decem-
Der next, and asked that the time for
discussing this motion be fixed at TWO
hours for each side. The request wa,
granted 4S to 13, and Mr.. Blair ad-
dressed the Senate 10 favor Of the mo-
tion.
~, WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 3d.
Ihe impression prevails that the Sen
ate will decide that it has no iurn die
,loa to try the impeachment of Gen.
belknap. 1t was at first thought the
Republicans, aside frcm any iuri~d,c-
ton. would be induced to try to 6,,a
den. Belknap guilty for polit,ca, rsa-
sons, but the interences Of the last
few days are that the contrary OPINION
may prevail. Once admitting that
the Senate has right to impeach a
cltizen who was once an officer, even
II ne may have designed to escape I'M
parchment, principle is established
which might make the practice of i'm
peacbment limitless, and convert .
primitive remedy into a tremendous
political engine.
The Democrats have already given
out that, if they can impeach Belknap
after his resignation, it will be DOS
slbie tor them also to impeach Ces-
well, Delano. or any other former Ca
olnet officer, provided sufficient
grounds can be discovered for finding
the impeachment indictments. While
of course nothing definite can be learn
ed In this regard, the opinion prevails
among those who have carefully con-
sldered the subject, that the Senate
will decide that it has no Jurisdiction
10 the premises. This will leave Gen.
belknap to stand his prosecution in
the District Court only.
Should the case proceed to trial
there IS not much doubt that Belknap
will be able to snstain his plea that
Clymer guaranteed immunity from
impeachment if he resigned. Aside
from the testimony which it is under
stood can be secured to substantiate
this fact. intrinsic evidence is contain
ed IN the copy of the original report
made by the Clymer Committee In the
Belknap case.
This report shows the erasure and
interllneation. The erasure was not
perfectly made. Persons who have
examined the document say the erased
lines show in effect the statement
that Belknap had resigned. and the
recommendation that the House take
no action in the premises because of
that resignation

SOME three years ago a young girl
working in mill at Oshkosh, was
scalped by having her hair caught in
a revolving shaft. The scalp was en-
tirely removed, and the skull deprived
of its natural covering. Skillful sur
geons undertook to replace it by what
is known as the grating process, but
without success. She is still alive
but in most deplorable condition.
1t is impossible by any artificial meana
to supply the proper secretions to the
skull and the bone is gradually but
surely decaying.

In the Netherlands yeast aud alcohol
works at Delft, Sou il ii,.l.and, an ex
pertinent Was recently l,ade with au
Invention which promises to ue uf
great Importance 10 American asrlcul-
ture and general INDUSTRY In these
works many thousands of bushels Of
corn Gmported maize from Amerlca)
are annually used, which product ar
is well known contains considerable
quantity of oily matter exclusively ac-
cumulated IN the germ. This oil. Ia
the raw material, is not alone unnec-
essary, bus injurious to the manufac-
ture of yeast and alcohol. Therefore
the manufacturers have tried, and
with good success, to separate. by me-
chanlcal means, the germ from the
horny-like substance of the maize
kernel, the latter of which contains
the wished-for starch. The separated
germs. treated like all eil-containing
seeds (fax seed, rape seed, etc., gave
a very fine, never-drying machine oil,
besides the cakes which are as good, if
not better than fax-seed cakes to feed
cattle upon. The peculiar fatty taste
of the corn meal, due to said oil in the
germ, has prevented thus far its gen.
eral use as human food, especially in
Europe, but, now that we know of
means to disunite the two substances,
we may look for more extensive use
of the abundant product.
