port duty on books, etc., which pro-
vides, in brief, that on and after
April 1st, 1877, no import duty shall
be levied or collected on books, peri
odicals, pamphlets, engravings, maps
or charts brought from other coun
tries into the United States. Up
wards of three million dollars worth
of books and engravings are annual
ly imported into the United States,
chiefly from England, and should
the duty be abolished, it is fair to
presume that this importation would
increase at least threefold, If not
more. There is considerable divi-
sion of feeling in Congress as to
whether this bill ought to pass, or
not, and it is safe to predict that it
will be made the subject of some
animated discussion when it shall
come up for its passage.
The news from Louisiana receiv-
ed by telegraph last night caused
less excitement here than would
have been supposed, and beyond the
calling of an extra session of the
Cabinet, and the issuance of an or
der to General Augur. commanding
in New Orleans, to preserve the
peace, no steps have been taken to
interfere. It is expected. however,
that the Louisiana affairs will be
made the subject eff discussion in the
Senate to-day, and large crowds are
now on their way to the, Capitol to
witness the proceedings.
The Grand Duke Alexis, whose
last visit to Washington is remem-
bered with pleasure by all who met
him, is expected here the latter part
of the week. The johnson House,
adjoining the Arlington Hotel, has
been set aside for himself and suite,
consisting of seventeen persons.
While here, he will be officially re-
ceived by the President, and the
programme includes State Dinner,
a reception by Secretary Fish, and
a large ball to be given in his honor,
by the citizens of Washington, if
the Duke can be prevailed upon to
stay long enough to make his ac-
ceptance of the invitation possible.
It is believed in official circles here
that the Russian fleet will winter at
Hampton Roads, and not at Port
Royal, as has been stated in the pa
pers. because the former place, with
climate equally mild, offers many
advantages which the latter does
not possess. VIAToR.

Some years ago, San Francisco paid
old Col. Won Schmidt large sum to
blast out Blossom Rock, formidable
obstruction to bay navigation. After it
was done, the soundings on the rock
were given at "a feet on low tide. On
Saturday last the ships Highland Light
and Blanchard, while in tow of the tug
Monarch. struck on Blossom rock, off
Alcatraz. The Highland Light went
over, the Blanchard stuck fast half an
hour. Both were loaded with wheat
from Vallejo, the former drawing %.
the latter % feet of water. 1t is evident
either til 1t San Francisco bay is shoel
from the drought, or else old "Von"
wants another job.

Is sometimes needed here by the grow
ing commerce on the Sound. Of course
every vessel in this trade hes duplicate
sails to cover disasters, but the estab-
ishment of sail loft here would give
great deal of work to two or three
men. Then there would be awnings
for the stores in summer, as we'll as a
score of other uses not suggested at a
casual glance. There would be more or
less work from every incoming vessel,
if sail loft were established here; and
many vessels now in the trade would
reduce their expenses BY carrying one
man less. if they were sure of getting
their sails repaired Immediately on
their arrival.
