The Lews and Judge Hilton.

New York, December 1.-The trus-
tees OF the Hebrew Orphan Asylum.
have declined the offer OF a gift Ci
money from Mrs. A. T. Stewart through
Judge Hilton, and it il expected that
other Hebrew Associations VIII take
similar action. The President OF the
Mount Sinai Hospital says that il Mrs.
Stewart had quietly sent a check to
the institution, il would probably have
been anepted, but in view OF the way
in which the offer was made there Is a
feeling OF opposition to its acceptance
among the Hebrews generally. The
President oi the Home iOr Aged and In
firm Hebrews says that the offer made
through Judge Hiitoa would not lie ac-
cepted. a. he hal thrown down the
gauntlet and persecuted the whole He
hrrw raup. There was naturally strong
feeling among the Hebrews against so-
crrting gifts from such SQUIRE.

partment. The deficiency was charged
BILE to the Department, and now officers
of the Postoffiee Department. spoke tri-
umphantly OF their victory over Con-
gress on this question.
Mr.. Hale defended the action OF the
Department. The Postmaster General
could not have done anything else than
report to Congress that there was a de-
ficiency. He could not stop the service.
All he could do was to notify Congress.
The weight of the mails was constantly
increasing, and the law was pitiless on
the Postmaster General to pay for the
postal service.
Mr.. Clymer said there had been con-
cealment on the part OF the Department
and the Assistant Postmaster General,
or his subordinates had been direlect
in their duty. He declared that the av-
erage saving to the government by the
Democratic party was well on to thirty
millions of dollars year, and If 1t had
not been for that economy, the treasury
would have been bankrupt.
Mr.. Forster asked Mr.. Clymer II he
denies that the expenses OF maintain
ing the government had been decreased
every year since 1867?
Mr.. Hewitt OF New York. deny ii
and will give the gentleman my figures.
He quoted from the report OF the Secre-
tarv of Treasury to the effect that the
expenditures in 1871 were Sl57 900, 900,
in 1872 Sl53, ,0O0,0O0 in 1873 SlS0,000,-
OG0, in 1874 Sl94 100000, in 1873 Sl53,-
100000 and in 1876 Sl64, 100000. Then
followed the Democratic era and in 1877
the expenditures had been reduced to
100000 and would this year fall
below $40, 100000. The gentleman from
Ohio had admitted i'll the Republican
Congresses deficiencies in the four years
had amounted 10 twelve millions, and
had stated that the Democratic Con-
gress had had to pay eighteen millions
In deficiencies. Ii the Republican Con
crosses had paid larger deficiencies,
the Democratic Congress would have
had smaller deficiencies to meet. De-
ticiencies to the amount OF thirteen mil
lions had been paid by the last Con-
gress to cover appropriations made in
the Forty-second and Forty-third Con
gresseS.
Mr.. Foster emphatically deny the
correctness Of those figures.
Mr. Hewitt-They are bills passed by
this House.
The general discussion having closed,
the committee proceeded to consider
the bill for amendments.
Mr. Phillips moved 10 strike out the
proviso which prohibits the increase OF
the postal car service during the wear
beyond what it Was on the first uf De
ccmber, 1873.
Mr. Phillips motion was defeated
Other amendments were Offered and re-
jected and then the committee arose

The movement in the markets last
week was rather light, there being no
special disposition for buyers to trade
with much freedom. There are but
ew changes, and none of note in prices
quoted. Wheat and -four was dull and
unchanged, owing to the fact that there
was only light local inquiry. Corn was
quiet and steady. Oats dull and un-

No Bones in the ocean.

Mr.. jeffrey has established the
fact that bones disappear in the
ocean. By dredging it is common
to bring up teeth, but rarely ever a
bone Of any kind; these, however
compact, dissolve if exposed to the
action of the water but a little
time. On the contrary, teeth
which are not bones any more than
whales are fish-resist the destroy.
ing action Of the sea water indefn-
itely. 1t is, therefore, a powerful
solvent. Still, the popular opinion
IS that it is brine. If such were
the case, the bottom Of all seas
would, long ago, have been shall
lowed by immense accumulations
OF carcasses and products of the
vegetable kingdom constantly float
ing into them. Dentine, the pecu.
liar material Of which teeth are
formed and the enamel covering
them, offer extraordinary resistance
to these chemical agencies which
dissolve other animal remains tc
nothingness. Mounds in the West,
tumuli in Europe and Asia, which
are believed to ante.date sacred his.
tory for thousands Of years, yield
up perfectly sound teeth, on which
time appears to have made no i'm.
preston whatever.

How George swOre as Monmouth,
ph;Iodalnh;o T;-.

NAV RNOEu 80 nAuMAlOUAl
Philadelphia Tines
On this anniversary of the battle
of Monmouth, it is worth while to
recall one of the authorities Though
a very questionable one, for the
tradition that Washington swore at
Lee in the way the occasion de-
maaded. 1t is told by George
Washington Parke Curtis in his
Recollections," General Charles
Scott, of Virginia, was a very pro-
fame man, and a friend, after the
war, anxious to correct his bad
habit, asked him if "the admired
Washington" ever swore. Yes,
once" answered Scott, after a mo-
ment's reflection; cit was at Mon.
mouth, and on a day that would
have made any man swear. Yes,
sir, he swore on that day till the
leaves shook on the trees, charm
ingly, delightfully."-. Never have |
enjoyed such swearing before. Sir.
on that eyer-memorable day he
swore like an angel from heaven.
1t would be hard to convict George
upon such romantic testimony as
this, but so precious a tradition
could not be abandoned even if il
were supported by no testimony at
all.

Europe would threaten the exis.
tence Of even the State of New
York. A fool might have foreseen
then. They were inevitable, though
not perhaps for the reasons assigned
by Macaulay. These troubles, ac-
cording to the newspapers, are at
our doors now; and though we all
know that they are exaggerated SO
far, yet we know in what direction
they are drifting. There is a Ne
mesis in our dealing with Chris
tianity. Ignoring it almost every
where in practice, although adj
miring it in theory, our modern So
ciety has robbed itself Of the only
power which can regulate by JUS
tice the relations of master and SER
want, of capital and labor.

Gnsea of the ntomach.

In a paper recently read before
the Paris Academy Of Medicine the
author expressed the opinion that
food does not produce gas, and that
the gases which are found in the
digestive tubes proceed from the ex-
ternal air, the blood. and fecal mat
ter; these gases are continually
put in motion by the pathological
contractions of the muscular fbres
of the intestines; expelled by the
mouth they are constantly renewed,
and their production may be as in
cessant in a starving man as in one
who is well fed. This symptom Of
production Of gas, therefore, signi-
fies an irritation OF the stomach,
which is always consecutive to a
long-standing gastric dyspepsia.
No therapeutic agent need be sought
to combat these gases.
