GAS Mad as a Halter. F"

A neat story-or rather two neat stories
about Eugene Labiche, the French dramatic
author, and hats
Once upon a time he had been invited to sub

Seine. the manager of which, by the way, was

assistance several excellent friends who, ike
him, were interested in the theatre and the hat
manufacture.

Presently one of the critics took up the hat,
weighed it critically examined the Inning. held
it at little distance, and cooked ms mead at u
in a connoisseurish manner, and, this exhaus-
tive scrutiny having been concluded, passed 1T
to q second critic who went through similar
performance and handed it to third. And
thus the hat went round the committee TO the

NJ. Labiche's hat had been made on the
right side of the Seine-which was the wrong
side. They did not like his tile.
In another play OF Labiche's there was hat

to be soIemnly pronounced at the crisis OF the

the other was doing there, but none the less

THE Pittsburg Telegraph gives an account
of a Thurman movement, managed by op-
ponents of Tilden, which took shape at the
Congressional session of 1S77-S. Gordon,
Lamar, Davis of West Virginia and others
were concerned. These men formed COM
mittee to effect Thurman organization in
every State Abram Hewitt was prominent
in the movement. His ground of complaint
against Tilden was this: lie said that Til
den gave him charge Of his campaign, and
told him to spend whatever money was nee
essary. He went to work with will, and
spent over two hundred thousand dollars OF
his own money, thinking that it would be
repaid by Tilden, even if he was not elected.
When Hayes went in, and the time came for
settling up the bills, Tilden refused to pay
Hewitt's expenditures, saying that it ought
to be paid by assessments on the party,
Tilden agreed to pay his share Of an assess
ment, but said Hewitt had spent too much
monsy. Tilden finally paid about $4,000,
and $4,000 or $4,000 was raised by Sub
scription. Hewitt's personal loss by Til
denis refusal to pay the bill was from $780,
600 to Sl20,000 Hewitt said that Tilden
had agreed to back him in whatever he did.
and that he knew how much money was be
ing spent from time to time, and hence
Hewitt had no fear at the time Of being
mulcted SO badly. 1t is needless to say that
the Ohio election knocked the life out Of the
Thurman move.

A SPECIAL from Washington says Secre-
tary Sherman is considering very carefully
the report of Comptroller Knox not yet
made public, in which the comptroller makes
out very strong case in favor Of beginning
the retirement of the Greenbacks at an ear
ly day. The demonstration in the report of
the director of the mint that there will prob
ably be six hundred millions of coin in the
country before the end of the present fiscal
year. has, says the special, set Mr.. Sherman
to thinking on the question of whether this
is not after all the best time for settling the
whole problem Of the future paper circula-
ton of the country. The amount of coin
mentioned, which will be reached within
few months, if the present rate of accumu-
lation goes on, is nearly twice as large as the
country ever contained before. The comp
troller Of the currency, who has always been
in favor of retiring greenbacks, shows very
clearly in his report that with such an
amount of coin in the country, and the
bank circulation extending and capable of
being extended to any required amount,
there is no necessity for the further exist
ence of greenbacks,
