CONGRESS.
Secretary Sherman's Answer to
a Resolution.
A Financial Statement-$l38, 000,-
600 Reserve for Redemption
Purposes.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-SENATE-
Consideration was resumed Of the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill. s gol
A communication was received
from the secretary of the treasury in
response to a resolution of the 10th
instant, by which he was directed to
report what amount of United States
legal tender notes have been redeemed
in coin since the first day of January
last, and also what amount
of coin he considers himself au-
thorized to retain in the treasury
for the purpose of maintaining the re-
sumption Of specie payment under the
provision Of the act of January 4th,
1875.
Secretary Sherman writes: There
has been redeemed in coin since Jan
uary LIST, 1879, of legal tender notes,
an amount of $4,133,533. AS to the
amount of coin authorized to be re-
tanned in the treasury for the purpose
of maintaining the resumption Of
specie payments, l have to state
that under the provisions of the
resumption act authorizing the
secretary Of the treasury, in
order to prepare and provide for the
redemption of United States notes, to
use any surplus revenue in the treas
ury not otherwise appropriated, and
to issue certain bonds of the United
States, the coin reserve of the treas
ury has been increased to $138, 600, 900
that being about forty per cent. of the
notes outstanding to be redeemed,
and believed to be the smallest
reserve on which resumption
could be prudently commenced
and successfully maintained as full,
set forth in my last annual report
This reserve arose from sos, SOC, OOC
bonds and from surplus revenues a
authorized by law, and it must, unde
the existing law, be maintained I'm.
impaired for the purpose for which il
was created.

SIMLA, May 19.-The disease has
appeared in most Of the cities Of
Punjaub.
Robbery by armed gangs is assuming
alarming proportions in the Decian,
especially in the Poona district. For
some time past bands Of Dacoits have
been securing the country committing
daring attacks on houses and villages.
They seem to form the part of a regu-
lar organization under the COM
mand of one Wassado Bulmund,
lately clerk in the financial
department. They are suspected of
having set the fire which destroyed
the government school, Boedwar pal
ace, law courts, postofice, police Office
and fifty housesin Poona on the night
of the 18th inst. In their remarkable
manifesto to the Bombay government
they threaten another mutiny and to
put a price on the head of the governor
unless their distress is relieved. They
inform the government that un-
less extensive public works are
at once opened, employment pro-
vided for the people, taxes reduced and
salaries of highly paid Europeans cut
down, they will not cease to plunder,
and will extend to the Europeans what
they have hitherto confined to natives.
They will kill the governor Of Bonn
bay, hang the Judge Of the Court OF
Sessions of Peona, carry murder and
rapine throughout the country and
engage in a massacre Of the Europeans.
The manifesto ends by warming the
governor that unless he at once COM
plies with the acquisitions the price Of
1000 rupees will be put on his head.
-Four persons, including Wassadc
and Buswund, append their signature
to the manifesto and seals. The gov.

to leave the matter in the handi

energetic measures.

Rochester Union.l
1t may not be generally known that
for the past two years spirit photo
graphs have been taken in this city,
some Of them certainly being extra
ordinary productions. The power
granted by the inhabitants of the un-
seen world to reproduce their features
on a camera is not given to every one,
and in this section, so far, Miss He'd
ley, who runs a photograph gallery on
State street, has a monopoly of what
is likely to turn out a most lucrative
business. Hearing of Miss Hedley's
gift in this line, a citizen, being of a
curious turn Of mind, determined to
see what there was off it. Visiting the
gallery, he told the p~roprietress that
he understood she took spirit photo
graphs, and he wished to test her skill.

Miss Hedley's response, "but we can
try" Would you allow me to pass
my handkerchief over the glass before
you prepare it for the camera de-
manded the citizen. "Oh, certainly.
as many times as you wish" The
visitor carefully rubbed the negative
on both sides, after which he stood
by while the collodion was put on, and
when the glass was put in the camera
he took his seat. The cap of the in-
strument was removed, and in a few
minutes the picture was taken. On
the negative being taken out and held
up to the light, some faint forms
around his chair were visible. what
are those marks on the glass ?" asked
the citizen. Those are faces Of some
persons you will no doubt recognize
when printed plain" "Well, when

" Oh, by tomorrow" mo | intend
to have a proof while | wait, as | do
not intend there shall be any humbug
in this matter. After waiting about
two hours the proof was taken, toned,
aud placed on a card. 1t was then
that he recognized in the most dis
tinct ann the faces of his sister
and child, who had died some time
previous. Not wishing te De made
the victim of an optical delusion, he
put the card in his pocket, and, going
home, showed it to his wife, without
saying a word. She Immediately
recognized the faces on the print, and
her husband then told her how ii was
taken. 1t was shown to friends of the
family, who also recognized them.

DR., Leituer, the eminent linguist
and philologist, has Just communicated
to the Civil aud Military Gazette of
India a translation Of a narrative Of
travel given to him by a native of
Ka6rstan, This man was a body
servant of the late Amer for many
years, including the time when Shere
Ali had yet to win the throne OF
Afghanistan, and it was during This
eyentsul period that the Kafr came
across a modern edition Of Queen
Penthesilea. Having been ordered
by his master to fetch a supply of
dates from Regi, a town some sixteen
miles distant from Herat, the messen
ger came across a district ruled over
bya woman, whose name was never
allowed to be mentioned. In addition
to great personal attractions she
claimed direct descent from the hero,
Russian, nor did she show much de-
generacy from her reputed ancestry.
For on one occasion General Feramorz
Khan, himself a Kafr aud the uncle
of DIR. Leitner's informant. paid her q
visit, with the view Of impressing
camels for the service Of Shere Ali.

occurred a short while ago. He was

Of the State, and Mr.. Buchanan sat
on a log, the center of a small dry
spot, the only one in the neighborhood.
watching a small fire where his supper
was cooking. Two glowing eve an.
peared in the darkness, and while Mr.
buchanan attention was attracted in
that direction, a wolf walked up from
another direction and lifted the meat
from the fire. The somewhat OK.
cited young mar drew his pistol
and fired. Immediately the entire
Re~ighborhood seemed alive with
wolves, and Mr.. Buchanan, az much
alive as any of them, climbed a tree
lie had several boxes of cartridges
and a good pistol and considered him
self pretty well heeled." Then the
firing began. An occasional howl
from below told that peace and har.
mony did not reign among the animals
but that the letter Of deaths recon.
mendation was having effect. The
firing continued all night, aud when
morning came six wolves lay dead on
the field Of victory. The ground fol
some distance around presented the
appearace Of a garden under a system
of high cultivation. Some three hun
dred shots were fred and the wolve,
that were dead were as dead as though

lucky for Shere Ali that he did not

accustomed to take a prominent part
at tent pegging and polo among the
mobiles Of her land. When the Kafr

widow, having lately put her husband
to death by reason of his being de-

understood, however, that she would
be quite willing to change her con-

chiefs had made her offers Of mar
rage. But TO one and all there was
the same fatal objection-they were
not brave enough to come up to her
idea Of what a husband should be.
