A PLEA FOR TOBACCO.

They lived in "the United States OF
Ohio"-that prolific section which furn-
ishos Government officials for the whole
country-but, like "outside barbar1ans'
and denizens of less favored climes, they
uuarreled like cats and dogs upon the
slightest provocation. Upon one occa-
sion, when muddy coffee, missing but
ton, or prima donna had precipitated
this choice couple into "fam1iy jar,
hasty words and angry responses were
followed fast by accusations and recriml-
nations, until, in the white heat OF pas
sion, she declared between sobs that
she never would live with him another
day She should go directly home to
her ma, whereupon he crammed rev
shirts into csrpe' bag. hilter-skiter with
blacking- -bru> hes. ct eetera. after the fash
lcn that gentlemen usually ''pack' ana
bounced out OF the house, banging the door
behind him and vowing never to return
But he hadn't progress cd more than square
and knocked down only two children ana
an apple-stand, when he suddenly recol>
lected that he had left his silver tobacco
box on the bureau, and back he strobe at
ter it. Entering the bed room, the scene
of the recent conflict, there lay his wife
plungedlhead first among sthe pillows, be-
dswing them with remorseful tears, and all
unconscious of his presence.
Pausing to fill his mouth with the unc-
tlous weed his eye fell upon thel inscription
engraved upon the box-lid-"To my dar
ling husband. A happy New Year. From
| Matilda" and his mind iuvoluntarily pic
tured the pretty little scene over the break
| fast table when he found it in his napkin
not quite one year ago. So, under the
com bined influence of memory and tobae
CO he concluded to at least take christian
leave of his wife and part politely.
"Matilda," said he, severely. 81 have
come to say goodbye"
"Oh, Tom," sobbed she, like little
goose, but after the manner of women from
the days of Eve downward. "I only wa,
| to blame, and ] am 80 sorry Can you
ever forgive me?' And rising, flushed
and fearful like Nereid of the sea, she
cast herself upon his coat collar ano
| "cluug" as for dear life.
The sequel, Of course, was that the.
soon "kissed and made up" and the do
nestle atmosphere, purified by the storm
was more peaceful afterward. Now
then, if this man had not loved tobacct
more than his wife he would never hav
come back after that box, and If Matild
had not humored him in his misplace'
affection she would never have cause
those loving words to be inscribed upo
it, the sight of which, like ga sol
answer" turned away wrath.
And the moral is, according to ScriT
ture. "He that is filthy, let him be filth

THE WAR IN Ell PASo, TEXAS.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Official informa-
tion received at military headquarters
this afternoon shows that the mob at San
Elizario consists of about three hundred
citizens of Ell Paso county, Texas that
no Mexicans have crossed the river to
take part in the trouble; and that the
Mexican authorities have given positive
orders that none of their citizens should
cross. About 800 troops have been or
dered from posts in New Mexico to the
source of the disturbance to aid the civil
officers of Ell Pass county. This with
drawal of troops leaves the Indian from
tier exposed. The statement published
here this morning that an unusual guam
tity of supplies are being sent TO Texas
from st. Louis is incorrect.
Gen. Sherman reiterated his disapprov-
al of the order for following raiders into
Mexican territory. and his belief that
there is no danger of war. He express
ed high opinion of President Diaz, and
had no doubt of the sincerity of the
avowed purpose of the Mexican govern
ment to do all it can to cooperate In
suppressing depredations. He thought
there was very little probability of col
lisions occurring, and explained that the
crossings are generally made high up on
the Rio Grande, where there are very
few Mexicans. He also expressed his
belief that the raiding is not all on one
side. The difficulty concerning the title
to the salt ponds near San Elizario is a
the bottom of the trouble in Ell Paso.

Editor 0ftte Gdzette.-Sir:-The enclos-
ed communication from the Portland
(Maine) Transcript, forward you with
the request that you republsh it in the
GAZETTE, as it may tend TO the ultimate
utilization of the immense fields of alder
which abound all through the State of
Delaware to an almost unlimited extent
There is, In fact, in Delaware, and along
the eastern shore in Maryland, a suffi-
cient growth of alder, if manufactured
into extra ct, to serve the tanning inter
ests of the State for all time; as 1t is re-
produced every year, as our farmers
who have tried to exterminate it well
understand. L have made inquiries
among the tanners of this vicinity who
have used the alder extract, as to its
value as a tanning agent; they all con-
cur in the opinion that it is as valuable
for the manufacturing of calf, sheep and
goat SKINS harness and belt leather, as
| the most staple varieties of tanning ma
terial in use, and say that in many parts
| of Europe it has been used for tanning
purposes from time immemorial and is
regarded as among their choicest and
The utili zation of this abundant re-
source of our State, would add to the in
dustrial interests of the people, and
would confer upon the leather trade of
our city-already one of the most prom
Using of our manufacturing enterprises
the most substantial benefit.

tanning purposes, is also being prosecu-
ted in Maine, where a superabundance
of this shrub is grown: extract from this
shrub, (the red alder) has been tested
both for coloring and tanning purposes,
and found to possess sufficient value to
render its utilization for these purposes
profitable to the manufacturer.
There are now three factories in Maine,
constructed for the manufactures OF fern
and alder extract. Two in Hancock
county, and one at East Machias, Wash
ington county. Two more will be added
to this number next spring.
This enterprise opens to your neople
new and important avenue for the en-
ployment of labor and capital; and i
therefore entitled to the notice of tn
public press of the State which is to b
so materially benefited by its develope

THE INcAPACITY OF CONGRESS.

[From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Dec. 1s.
The fact that throughout the called
and regular sessions very little useful
legislation h IS been perfected confirms
the impression that Congress is a costly
government appendage. 1t is doing the
damage to the national finances that the
Legislatures have done for the various
States until the people fairly groan un-
der the burdens they have to bear, but
when they murmur they are silenced by
the remark that they are enjoying the
blessings of free representative governs
ment, aud the lack OF wisdom in the
management of affairs continues to go
hand in hand with corruption and inf
deity to patriotic and official pledges.

While sidelong glances cast the moon,

FINANCIAL.


WAsH1NaToN Oct. Am editorial In New
York paper to-day, on the subject Of specie
payments and the placing of the four per cent
loan, does great Injustice TO Secretary Sher-
man, and shows o complete misunderstanding
Of the Subject. Part Of the editorial Is based
upon the fact that the debt statement of Sep
tenber does not show the full amount Of 4
ppr cent bonds actually subscribed for tn
date, The explanation Of this Ia that the $50
bonds which are to be paid for with the pro-
eeeds OF the 4 per cents, arc not due,
though called, excepting the SIC, ,0OU, 900 ms OK
hibited In the debt statement for September
The remainder Of the called 2-2O's. In CON
sequence Of the sale Of 4 per cent bonds,
mature during the present month, and as
they mature the 4 per cent bonds will be
entered upon the debt statement and the
same amount of 5-2O's will be taken off The
funding law allows ninety days for the pay
ment Of the 4 per cent bonds. and ninety days
during which the called bonds are not re-
deemahie.
The total amount Of per cents subscribed
for in this country and Europe by the syn1i-
vitluas foots up S77,0OD, 900, and the amount
Of 5-2O's called on account OF this subsorip-
tion Is $50 900, 600 leaving S27 100000 yet to be
called. As soon as the S5O,D00,0O0 5-20's ma
ture they will be taken off the debt state-
ment and n like amount OF per cents will
appear in their place.
The editorial asserts that the whole author
ized amount Of the por cent bonds has
been sold, and that The greater part OF
the authorized amount Of the. ~ per
cent bonds has also been sold. This Is moi
the case. All the 3 per cents authorized by
the funding act have been placed. but tho re
sumption act authorizes the Secretary Of the
Treasury to issue any amount Of pei
cents necessary to carry the act into effect
The wording of the act Is as follows:
"And to enable the Secretary of the Treas
ury 10 prepare and provide for the redsmp
tion In this act authorized or required, he Is
authorized to use any surplus revenues from
time to time In the treasury not otherwise ap
