RObeSOn'S Claim Trading,
An Investigation that is Likely to
Gust the Secretary of the Navy.

Washington, March 2S.-The Commit
tee on Expenditures inl the NavY Depart
ment are working some rich leads in
Robeson's accumulated store of fraud.
Their attention has been devoted for
several days past to certain old claims
that Robeson has allowed. One known
as the Hungerford claim pans out rich.
A New York lawyer named Sherman
had it in charge and had been trying for
some time to get it through, but had
met with no success. The claim was
considered bad one, and the claimants
were afraid they would get nothing. One
day when Sherman,was in Washington.
he was approached by Simeon Johnson,
who was very intimate with Robson,
and told that for $4,000 he could have
his claim allowed Sherman wanted to
know how it could be done, but johnson
was mysterious and would give him no
satisfaction. Sherman would not dicker,
and said if the claim could be put through
at all, he could get it allowed as well as
anybody else. In other words, he re-
fused to be blackmailed. johnson, how
ever, got to the claimants themselves,
and offered them $4,000 for the claim,
and they accepted the offer. The claim
was paid, and Johnson received a check
for $75 900, thus clearing $4,000 for him
selfand his associate, whoever he was.

THE storm along the New England
coast has been attended with no small
detention and damage to vessels, and
even with some loss of life. At the same
time the dispatches tell an eloquent tale
of the priceless value of the storm-signal
system; Says the operator at Thatcher's
Island:
"One hundred and thirteen vessels
were in sight yesterday at two O'Clock in
the afternoon, which put to sea when
the storm signals were hoisted. There
are no vessels in sight now."-[ New York
World, March %.
The above fact is one of the greatest
triumphs of the Signal Service since its
establishment. The vessels thus warned
had time to get safe offing before the
storm struck the coast.

"How is it, Mrs, Murray" said one
lady to another last night, as they had a
comforting cup of tea together with hall
a dozen ruined regulations on buttered
toast, chow is it, Mrs. Murray, that you
always have such nice milk If the COW
herself told me that she gave it, it could
MT be better" Mrs. Lomax, ma'am,"
replied the experienced matron, 81 never
keep the same milkman more than a

and so there is more COW in his milk
than usual at first. Whenever his milk
is such as not to enlist the best efforts OF

INTERESTING TO GROWERS OF BROOM
CoRN.-It is reported that the crop Of
broom corn raised last year (lS75) is fully
1000 tons short. Owing to the cold wet
season the yield was light, and the
growth short, with but very little hurl.
This coupled with the fact that there was
less old broom corn in the country last
September at the time the 1875 crop was
harvested, than at any time in the five
years previous, gives promises to high
prices during the coming spring and sum-
mer. Notwithstanding the demand last
month was not heavy, prices in the West
are firm at an advance of $4,000 per ton
over January prices Western Agricultur.

Human labor is the source of all values.
An article or commodity possesses value
in proportion to the amount of human
labor which it represents. A bushel of
wheat is worth a gold dollar only be-
cause it has required the same amount OF
human labor to produce it as it has re-
quired to produce agold dollar. lfan un-
favorable season should require twice as
much human labor to produce bushel
of wheat as it would to produce a gold
dollar, the wheat would be worth two
dollars per bushel, and would command
two dollars in price. And this illustra-
ton is true ofall other products of human
labor. 1t constitutes the intrinsic value
of all things. A gold dollar possesses
intrinsic value to that amount, because it
has cost so much human labor to pro-
duce it. A paper dollar has but little in
trinsic value, only the cost of its produc-
ton, which does not equal half of one
per cent.-N. Y. Sun.
