OFFER OF SALE WITHDRAWN.


WASHINGTON, April 18.--The following
circular was issued from the treasury depart
ment this afternoon:
Department Circular No. so, of April 16,
1879, is hereby rescinded, all per cent
bonds therein offered for sale having been
sold. The $50 refunding certificates will
hereafter be exchanged for lawful money in
sums not to exceed $500 at one time, by the
treasurer and assistant treasurers of the
United States and by all public officers
bonded for that purpose. They will not be
issued hereafter upon the certificate of any
national bank depository. The commits
sions on such exchanges heretofore or here
after made will be allowed at the rate of one
eighth of per cent. in any aggregate of
$1,000 without regard to the period in which
such exchanges are made. Department cir
culars of March 10Th and Goth, 1879, are
modified accordingly. JOHN SHERMAN,
Secretary.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The subscrip-
tions to 4-per cent. bonds, under the circular
of April 10th, received prior to 7 o'clock
yesterday evening, amounted in the aggregate
to thirty-nin millions, and the residue of
the one hundred and fifty millions offered
by the circular was taken by associated
banks and bankers through the First Ma
tional bank of New York. Two subscrip-
tions were also made covering forty millions
of refundiug certificates, reserved by the
circular referred to for popular distribution,
but the subscriptions were declined. These
certificates will be offered alone, under the
terms of the circular issued to-day, for the
next sixty days, and if not taken the depart
ment will determine whether it is advisable
to accept the subscriptions for them already
made

A Sensational Minister.

LITTLE Rock, April 18.-Rev. Todd, shot
at Brunkeler recently while endeavoring to
escape from an officer who had arrested him,
installing him for person. accused for
crime, and slightly wounded him, and whose
mysterious disappearance has been the sub
ject of notice recently, arrived in this city
last night, and is under treatment of DR..
VIM. Thompson. His disappearance is due
to his getting on board a train without no
tice to friends for sensational purposes.
Todd says he lei. 5rinkely furtively be-
cause he had advicss ,;lat he would be as
sassinated, that he wandered through
swamps, without food, seven days and nights
and boarded the west bound train at Sur
rounded Hill, eleven miles from Devalls
Bluff. He is badly briartorn and covered
with rehemosed spots from the want of food
His physician permits no one to see him
and he thinks his condition critical from e1
posure, not from his wounds.

the cruelty upon the child are his parents.
At least, Thomas Nolen is the boys father,
while the unnatural woman who abets him
in his inhumanity bears the relationship of
step-mother.
Thursday night the neighbors we're shocked
by loud cries from the child, and the thud of
cruel blows. A policeman was called in to
quell the disturbance, but for some reason
failed to arrest the monsters, though re-
quested by the neighbors to do so. The
outcry against this shame is general in the
neighborhood. and the cruelty has
been carried to such a brutal extent
that the intellect of the boy has been inn
paired from the beatings and other punish
ments inflicted upon him. It is said the
father never INDUCES in the murderous pas
time except when in liquor; but the woman
is ceaseless in her fortunes upon the frail
body of the infant. The child has
been victim to the brutality
for sometime, and the impunity with which
it has been done, has lately encouraged the
parents to double zest in theif diabolical
treatment. The meanings and cries of the
child and the sound of blows are almost of
hourly occurrence, so much so that the
neighbors have determined to rescue the
abused child, and to this end the case was
committed to Secretary Chase, of the relief
society, for full examination.
