Secretary She-man.
The opponents to Secretary Sherman's
financial policy, failing to convert him
to their theories, are now making an
effort to secure his removal, but tuere Is
no difference OF opinion on the financial
question between the President and
Secretary Sherman.
The Mexican Frontier.
Official advices from Mexico do not
sustain the accounts of the depredations
| along the frontier. 1t is believed here
that the newspaper statements greatly
exaggerate the condition OF affairs In
that country. The Government has in.
auguraled measures looking to the re-
ceipt of authentic information as to the
actual state of affairs, and are fully de-
termined not to become involved in the
internal dissensions OF that country.
Ex-President Grant.
Few who know Ex-President Gran,
will believe the report that while in
Europe he will on occasions Of cere
mony wear his military uniform. The

tious di-piay, and being now simply q
private American citizen will doubtless
assume no otner character while travel
Ing.

intimate friends as a senseless canard.
