The treasury officials express them
selves as very much pleased with the
manner in which Treasurer Gilfillan's
recent letter to the depository banks
has been received. This letter, it will
be remembered, notified allsuch banks
that they could have all the silver dol
lars tn y desired, the object being to
put in rs large circulation rs possible
the new silver dollars. This letter was
sent out last Thurday, and already
orders had been received for more than
$25O, 600 worth of the new coin. These
orders ranged between 5000 to $780,
600, coming mostly from eastern banks
near by. Treasurer Gilfllan expects
that as soon as the other banks at re-
moter distances shall have received the
letter orders for silver in large amounts
will be crowded upon the department.
In this way he expects to contribute
largely towards resumption by lessening
the amount of outstanding legal tenders
and at the same time cancelling ST. and
50 notes. On account Of the heavy ex-
penses Of transporting silver dollars by
Adams Express, an arrangement has
been made with the postotiice depart
ment whereby all this new silver is to
sent in pound bags as mail matter.
This expense, which is to be borne by
the government by way Of an induce
ment to the banks, will be only one-fif-
teenth Of what the cost of expressage
would be.

IT has hitherto been contended that
TO cover an animal with an impermea-
BILE varnish would produce fatal re-
suit, and this assumption is supported
by the story of a boy who died in conse-
quence of being coated with gold leaf,
to represent an angel in religious cere-
mony. A German savant has lately
tested this assumption. Two healthy
men allowed their limbs to be coated
with impermeable plasters, while the
trunk was vanished with several lay
ers of flexible collodion. Nearly week
was allowed to elapse before these APP
plications were removed, but there
were no bad consequences; and the in
ference is that the gilded boy was
poisoned by some ingredient in the ma
terial applied to the skin.

The national party of Ohio met in
Columbus, in state convention on the
2Sd inst, and nominated the following
ticket. Secretary of State, Andrew
Roy, Jackson county; Judge of the
Supreme Court, Chiffon A. White,
Brown county; member Of the borrd Of
public works, j. r. Falls, Lucas county.
The platform re-atfirms and adopts
the platform adopted at the Toledo con-
vention on February Odd of the present
year. The convention was large, over
200 delegates being present. 1t was by
all odds the largest convention of the
kind ever assembled in the state, and its
numbers appeared to surprise the advo-
Gates of unlimited greenbacks as much
as either the democrats or republicans.
Sixty-eight counties were represented
by delegates, and twenty by proxies,
there was considerable excitement
shown during the afternoon, some OF
the delegates favoring open reputation
of the bonded debt, while Others de-
manded that there should be protective
laws so strong as to entirely shut out al
importations. Both republican and
democratic parties were thoroughly de-
nounced

AFTER eight days in session the Texas

completed the ticket and adjourned.

LIE xANNEQUIS.
A Queer Little Statue, and the Pretty
Legend Connected with it.
c. c. Fulton in Baltimore American.

G. c. Fulton In Baltimore American.
Among the fountains of Brussels
there is none that commands such at
tention of the stranger as this diminu-
tive figure, and there is none that is held
in such reverence by the people of
Brussels. 1t is droll curiosity, while
at the same time it is true picture of
innocence and nature. He stands on
his pedestal, showing by his counte-
nance that he is oblivious of the fact that
he is surrounded by spectators, and that
some Of them glance at him from be-
hind their fans. 1t is the figure of q
hearty and robust little boy, about 6
years of age, standing on "a pedestal
over halfcircle basin, and as he has
been frequently stolen or defaced an orn-
amental iron railing incloses both the
basin and the statue. But LIE Name
quin is an historical character, and he
has stood for 400 years in his present
position. The first statue was in stone,
but 26O years ago it was replaced by the
present bronze figure by Duquesnoy.
There are various legends in connec-
ton with it, the best accepted of which
is that the son of distinguished man
had been lost for some time, having
strayed away. This part of Brussels
was then thicket, and it was on the
spot on which the fountain was subse-
quently erected by his father that he
was found, after diligent search, Just in
tine position and in the act which the
statue represents. In gratitude for his
recovery the fountain was erected. and
has stood during all the vicissitudes of
war and changes of government. 1,
has been from time immemorial an OBJ
ject Of popular affection. On grand
holidays 1t has always been the custom
of LIE Mannequin to wear costume,
and an officer is regularly appointed
and paid by the city council of Brussels
whose duty it is TO dress him on these
occasions and to keep him in repair and
in running order. When LOUIS XIV.
captured Brussels in 1747 he wore a
large white cockade on his hat. In 1889
he was dressed out in colors Of the Bra
bancon revolutionists, and the empire
girded him with the French tri-cOlor
under Napoleon. The Dutch govern
ment imposed the Orange colors upon
him. The days of September beheld
him dressed in blouse, and under the
present reign, on grand occasions, he
generally wears the tunic of the civil
guard. This little inanimate figure has
been the object OF several requests, from
which some idea of the sentiment of
the. people of Brussels in relation to
him may be judged. The object of
these requests was to furnish fund not
only to furnish him with dresses for
fetes, but also to keep the fountain in
good order, and repair and renew it
when necessary. This is the fund which
the city administers, and which pays for
his chamberlain.
