The Secretary of the Treasury has
recently written letter for publication,
in which he says:
There are but two points incident
to resumption about which notice COM
plant. First, the non-payment of in
terest on the public debt in gold Mt cit
les other than New York. Second, criti-
cisms of the distribution of the silver
dollar by this department. To main
tain specie payments the coin must be
kept in some central, convenient depos-
itory, always accessible. The law fixes
New York as this place. 1t is not rea-
sonable, while we promptly redeem our
notes. and pay the interest on the pub
lie debt in New York, that complaint
should be made because the coin IS not
scattered by being transported at the
will of creditors, Mt considerable cost, to
other parts of the United States. We
must make no distinction between the
payment of interest and the redemption
of notes, but both should be paid ut the
again make the discrimination so much
complained of between the noteholder
and the bondholder. Ihope after some
preparation and lapse of time it may
be convenient to exchange coin for notes
and pay interest at all the repositories
in the United States, and will seek to
bring about that result, not as matter
of legal duty, but for the convenience
of citizens. As to the other matter, l
have clear conviction that to force
payment of the silver dollar to the pub
lie creditors would tend to depreciate
it and cause it Mt once TO be sold In the
market at less than par. No friend of
the silver dollar should desire it to be
forced into circulation under such cir
cumstances This would open a gap
between the silver dollar and United
States treasury notes that would tend
to bring it into discredit among our
people, while it is plainly the policy of
the law that it should be maintained at
par with United States notes. The
department. is now issuing the silver
dollars, transporting them free of
charge wherever needed to all who wish
them in exchange for United States
notes or in payment for services, and it
is hoped that the whole coinage may
thus be put into circulation. While it
is the duty of the Government to coin
different kinds of money as public pol
icy dictates, it should be within the
power of the citizen, at his option, to
demand either form of lawful money. 1t
is hoped that the friends of resumption
will be satisfied with the benefcent re-
suits already accomplished, and will
give this department reasonable for
bearance in the practical execution of
its plans. If so, those who have hith-
erto disagreed with us about resump-
ton may join with us in applauding the
policy now being maintained. Very
respectfully yours, JOHN SHERMAN"

question by Mr.. Cox, as to whether anybody
approached witness regarding the character Of
the evidence he would give before the Potter
Committee, Kelly said he was visited by man
named Maddox, who stated that he was en-
ployed by high authority from the committee
to ascertain what his (Kelly's) testimony would
be- The object of the committee was, he said,
to make political capital for Tilden against
Thurman. AS further inducement to testify,
Kelly was told he could 60 off considerable
distance, even as far as San Francisco, and
could then be summoned back, profiting by the
mileage

LudierOus Incident.

policeman found man dancing
and yelling at the corner of Harrison
and State streets. He said, in response
to the inquiry from the cop, that he
had rat. The cop supposed that he
had snakes from his action, and took him
over to the station. The man held on
to one leg of his trousers, saying he
had it sure. He then said that a
rat had run up one of his trouser-legs
and he had caught it. He was taken
into a private room and examined.
And there, sure enough, was rat, but
the man had squeezed it so strongly
that is was dead.-Chicdqo Times.

1Dr. Higgins, thedistinguished British
spectroscopist and astronomer, had at
n time a magnificent mastiff named
"Kepler, who was the possessor of
rare canine gifts. AT the close Of din
ner or luncheon-party, Kepler would
march sedately into the room and set
himself down at his masters feet. The
Doctor would PROFOUND to him various
arithmetical questions, which the dog
invariably solved without 4 mistake
even extracting square roots off-hand
with the utmost prompthsss. Where
complicated processes were involved
Kepler would give more consideration,
and sometimes hesitated as to where
his barks ought finally to stop; but he
always gave the right number. The
cake which was to reward him was held
up before him during the exercise, but
Kepler never removed his eyes from his
masters face until the solution was
arrived at, then the cake disappeared
instantly. The explanation of these
wonders is that while DR.. Higgins was
perfectly unconscious of suggesting the
proper answer to the dog, Kepler had
acquired the habit of reading in his
masters eye or ~countenance some in
dication that was not known to the doc
tor himself. Kepler was, in fact, a
mind-reader.

General Sherman has caught a Tartar
in a Cincinnati reporter. The young
gentleman was sent to the general s
hotel to get material for an interview,
and evidently was abruptly snubbed.
for the next days Enquirer bore record
of a peculiar comedy of errors. The
reporter sent up his card, and a young
lady, attended by a footman, who was
also in the reception room, sent up her
card at the same time. The messenger
soon returned with two cards from
General Sherman, and the clerk hand
ed n to the reporter and the other to
the footman. The reporter read the
card that was handed to him, while his
hair stood on end. Regret exceeding
