THE MArruEws RESOLUTION.

The Senate OF the United States yes.
tsrday. by q vote OF I3 to 90. passed the
resolution Of Stanley Matthews. declar-
ing that United States bonds are legally
payable in silver or gold. at the option
OF the Government. The resolution Is
concurrent. and not joint. and therefore
does not require the Presidents sigma
ture. II passed by the House, as II qn-
doubtodly will be. ii will not become n
law. but will stand simply as an ex.
preston Of the opinion Of the present
Congress. The passage Of this resolution
will be hailed with delight by the
enemies Of reconciliation. for IL assures
them that the President will veto the
Bland Silver bill. II is the most serious
blow to that bill yet given. Indeed. it
was introduced by Matthews. who Is
recognized as the mouth-pieco Of Pres
idsnt Hayes. in order to give the latter
q cue as TO his action in the future. lie
has got his cue now. Mr.. Hayes is not
opposed to making silver a legal tender
for all debts contracted after the passage
OF q bill remonetixing ii bat he Is OPP
posed to breaking faith with the public
creditors. and now that this resolution
has been passed. he will veto any silver
bill which does not expressly provide
for the payment Of all bonds issued since
the demonstration OF silver. in gold.
Whether the silser men can pass the
bill over his head remains TO be seen.

MIR. oRRKsuooD,s r

Mr.. Otto Greenwood has written a
card asserting that the story entitled
"The Problem Of the Age" Was never
published in any American or English
paper before its appearance in the En-
tsrprise Of the Goth instant. In this Mr..
GREENWOOD is mistaken. There are gen.
tlemsn in this community who read the
same story in English three or four
years ago. This statement cannot be
attributed to "petty journalistic jsal-
ossy." for the reason that the person
making IL offers no prstsnsion to
a knowledge Of the German language.
Without Wishing to steal Mr.. Green
hoods ''thunder." which at best is Dor
rowsd. we most smphatically say that
the story in question Uas printed in
English before 1t appeared in the Enter
prise OF the Goth instant. The News
did not call in question Mr.. Grsenhosd's
statement that he had mado his transla-
ton from the German, and there was
nothing which could Be construed into a
charge OF plagiarism. Mr.. Grssnhood
concludes:
81 maintain that I am the original
translator Of this story. and brand any
positive statement TO the contrary 70 Be
malicious and false"
Candidly. now. Is not this . little
rash According to his ewn version.
the story was written in the early
part Of last Summer. Since then q
hundred translations could have been
made. and 1t might have 80 happened
that none Of them came under Mr..
Greenhood's eye. To be sure, the arti
Gle In question is not Of great import
ance. but since the truth Of the assertion
made by the NEWS has been directly de-
MED. the question Of veracity Is worthy
of attention.

One of the most lively places in the
city last week was the tax Office, where
long procession was awaiting each his
turn at the desk. On the first day of
the month the usual penalty of one per
cent. was added. The tax levy this year
is $50, 079, 077.l2, being reduction of
$2,0OO,C00 since 1875, which was the
highest rate. Forty years ago (1S38) the
entire valuation was S264, 152, GAL. This
year it is $1,098, 387,775, being an in
crease of more than $500, OOO, 900. This
shows that every addition of j, 1000. to our
population also adds nearly 81 ,OoO, 900 to
the wealth of the city. You can see this
ratio uniformly held during the last 60
years by reference to the published
records. The worst feature in our mu-
nicipal difficulties is the immense debt,
the interest on which is more than $685.
600 per day. Our asylums, reforms
tories and charitable institutions cost
So, 600 per day, while the daily expenses
of the judiciary are nearly $4,000. Al
most the same sum is required for
prisons and aims houses. Education
costs the city $4,000 per day, and the
imaginary cleaning of our filthy streets
forms daily item of $4,000. Even the
tax department costs nearly $3.50 per
day. Rather large sum one might
think for this item, but it is not sur.
prising here. The police department
costs SIC, 900 day, in the way of taxa
ton, while the amount of property
stolen is almost equal, but of this our

A Fable About q Duel.

A duel recently took place between
two eminent French statesmen, who de-
sired to emulate the example set by M.
Gambetta and M. De Fourton. The day
was so clear that it was not deemed ad-
visable to adopt the dangerous method
resorted to upon that occasion, of plac-
ing the combatants face to face. The
seconds therefore made the following ar.
rangement: The principals were put
close together dos a dos. On the word
of command being given, both were to
start in opposite directions, and after
having counted %, they were to be at
liberty as soon as they liked to stop,
stoop, and fire at each other from be.
tween their legs. This programme was
carried out to the letter; and the Duke
de B received a slight flesh wound
which did not materially interfere with
the general symmetry of his person.
Upon being asked by lady where he
was wounded, he replied, "In the Bots
de Boulogne." "This fable illustrates
the old adage that Discretion is the
better part Of or."-London Truth.

Hew he Cured a Smoky Chimney.


Yesterday as citizen of Woodward
avenue was helping tinsmith to elevate
a smoke-jack to the ROOF Of an addition
on the windy side of the house, prepara-
tory to hoisting it atop of a smoking
chimney, an old man with ragged bun
die under his arm came along, halted,
and soon became interested.
THAT chimbly smokes, don't it?" he
; finally inquired.
Its the worst one in town." replied
the citizen.
"And you want to stop the nuisance,
eh?"
49, Yes, do"
do it,"
81 hope so.''
"Well, now, kin stop that smoking
in ten minits, and I won't hurt the
chimbly nor put up any smoke-jacks, :"
continued the old man, as he laid down
his bundle.
"Hyou'll do it I'll give you FIVE dol
lars" rejo;ned the citizen, who disliked
the idea of dis6guring his chimney with
the clumsy jack.
"Kin have the kitchen for five min
utes?" asked the man.
The cook was instructed to vacate and
the old man took possession. Removing
the top of the stove, he poured in
enough water to put out every spark of
fire. Then going out, he called to the
citizen on the roof.
"Has she stopp< smoking?"
"Well, I don't see any smoke at ALL"
was the reply; "what have you dons3"
While he was coming down the ladder
the old man made of, eating a pie he
had taken from the oven. The last half
of it he had to bolt down while on the
run, but at no time in the race did the.
citizen, tinsmith or servant girl get with
in twenty rods of him.-Detroit Free

The Manufacture of Candies.

1t is an easy matter to drop luscious
chocolate cream or q crystal candy into
ones mouth, but the process by which
the morsel is manufactured is not so
sHall matter. Take chocolate cream,
for instance. First, half barrel of
sugar is put into cauldron with little
water and placed over slow fire until
it assumesa paste-like consistency. Then
it is put on a marble slab and worked
like butter until it is smooth and plastic.
That paste forms the base of all cream
candies. The havoring is put in after
ward-vanilla, orange, lemon, strawber-
~, pineapple, anything, in fact, that
may be desired. The chocolate used
comes in huge cakes, is melted, and the
creams covered with it by dipping them
in rapidly.
The crysta'izing of candies requires
more work, and it is in this that es-
pecially prepared apparatus is used.
First, the form of the candy is secured
by mouldings in finely ground starch.
Then the candy, favored and prepared
according to taste, is reduced to syrup
and poured in the moulds, and placed in
a closet to cool slowly, These closets
are kept at a certain temperature, and
it requires from three hours to several
days to bring the candy to the right con-
sistency. When it is taken out the
starch is removed with brush, and the
candies are ready for sale. Each kind
requires a different mode of treatment,
and the work requires the entire time of
q Professor of Confectionery" and
four assistants to supply the demand.
Candies may be bought of large whole
sale manufacturers as cheaply as they
are made by small dealers, but greater
purity and freshness are obtained by
manufacturing them, and the davoring
and the supply can be regulated to meet
the demand,-Ne2c.zrk Advertiser.

One Of them has turned up in Sarah Ann

impeachment Of having waited upon the
Father of his Country. Uncle William
attirms that he was once the property of

man, and that he often waited upon
him. He states that he was in the SER
