MINOR NOTES.

Chicago is great city, but her credit is be
low par The teachers were last week pait
100000 in city scrip for their last three
months work, and they had to sell it at dis
count Of seven per cent to brokers in order &c
get their money Some cities not nearly rs
largo or so pretentious as Chicago have bet
ter way of paying their bills
President Hayes has withdrawn the nomi
nation of Secretary McCrary to take Judge
Dillons place as United States circuit Judge
on account of the doubts which the Senate
has in regard to the legality of making an ap.
pointment now in anticipation Of vacancy
to occur in September. The appointment
will undoubtedly be renewed in due course OF
time after Judge Dillon leaves the bench.
The New Workers count 1t as settled now
that they are to have another elevated rail
road, built by William II. Vanderbilt and ex.
tending from the Vanderbilt depot to the
City hall, and possibly through Park Row
and Broadway to the Battery The interior.
cnco of the other elevated roads with his local
business is the stimulus which operates upon
Mr.. Vanderbilt to go into the elevated road
business.
Those ardent Mississippi friends Of Jelcr-
son Davis are actually saying that they want
to send him to the United States Senate be-
cause of his conservatism and moderation.
Senators Blaine, Chandler and Logan, Sec
rotary Sherman, Representative Frye and a
host of other prominent Republicans will take
part in the Ohio campaign, and the month of
September will be made lively one in all
parts of the Buckeye State.
Maj. Bon Perlcy Poore, the veteran
Washington correspondent of the Boston
journal, has received an appointment in the
Office of the supervising architect of the
treasury department, and will be detailed to
inspect government buildings in New Eng
land
The leading New York merchants will show
their patriotism this year by closing their
places of business from Thursday, July 3, to
the following Monday, thus giving them
selves and their employees two solid holidays
besides Sunday. The various exchanges will
be closed also.
Dr. A. p. Peabody, the Professor of Chris
tian Morals at Harvard University, in re-
Spouse to the toast, Harvard College and
Co-education," at Abbott Academy, Andovor
the 9th n day, said "Women can now have
the full benefit of all the instruction afforded
young men at the University, but whether
in the same class room or not is not yet de-
terminod l can see no reason why young
men and women may not study and recite to-
gether, as well as talk, sing and dance to-
gether.' Which seems to be a tolerably
sensible view of the subject
The VicLsburg Miss Herald says: I'VE
want our people to know that many Northern
Democrats deserted our interests when the
Quarantine bill was considered, and that this
valuable measure was secured to the South
through the Efforts of Gen. Garfield Mr.
Blaine and other Republicans. We are CRATE
full to the Northern Republicans who thus
aided us, as we are to the Northern people
who saved our people, the people of Port
Gibson with the rest, last season from untold
suffering by their magnificent charity. We
have not had much cause to thank the North
ern Democrats lately and if the South is to be
made the cat's-paw to pull out their presiden-
tial chestnuts, we have a right to demand
better treatment than some of them gave us
in their votes on the Quarantine bill"
