The creditors of Williams, Birnie g.
Co., cotton brokers, who have been
waiting to learn what Mr.. Williams
would do for them, have had another
consultation. 1t was held at the office
Of the Board of Managers ofthe Cotton
Exchange on Wednesday evening. Mr..
John l.: Macaulay presided, and an
nounced that the meeting had been
called to- hear the report of the COM
mittce of seven appointed to confer
with Mr.. Williams. That committee
made its report, from which it appear.
cd that Il representative had been sent
to Charleston, and that to him Mr..
Williams had offered to pay. so per
cent. Of tho creditors' claims, Tic
committee had refused to accept this
offer, and had ordered suit to be
brought against Mr.. Williams in the
United States Circuit Court at Charles
ton. The report containing the refusal
OF the committee TO accept Mr.. Will
liams' offer was unanimously adopted
By The meeting. The general feeling
was that the creditors would rather
lose all than make compromise, in
consequence Of the manner in which
Mr. Williams had treated them in
absconding from the city, after giving
pledges to his creditors that he would
not leave the city until he had settled
everything. The meeting adjourned,
and will be again convened on tho call
of the chairman. .a

Crystallized Woman.

Another very remarkable instance,
we are informed, says an English pa
per, has just, come to light as to the
preserving or petrifying effects of nj
trate of soda. A well-known and infiu-
ential city firm, who have extensive
connections with South American
planters, miners, ETC., have recently re-
,ceived from Peru curiosity In the
shape of what may be termed q crystal
ized female body, which as their CORE
spondents advise them, was some short
time since discovered by set of miners
at Pisague, in that country, completely
imbedded in one of the great nitrate of
soda deposits peculiar to the district.
The body is described as having the
appearance of petrifed mummy, and
is stated to be in singular state of
preservation. This curiosity has al
ready been seen by some of our best
known naturalists and analysts, and it is
believed that the woman, who apparent
ly was of middle age, must have perished
through accident or design at o remote
period of the past, as some even go SO
far as to say 1000 or 5000 years ago.
That her death was violent there is lit
tie room to doubt, inasmuch as when
discovered the body was in recum-
bent position, partly on the side. with
chest slightly crushed as if through a
severe fall, the legs drawn up, and the
fingers and toes contracted. The hair
is in most perfect state, and maintains
its contact with the skull in peculiar
ly astonishing manner, and the mouth
is open displaying the teeth and
tongue, which are plainly visible. The
extremities are remarkably small and
perfect, even the nails being in their
respective places. The hair on the
head, we should add, appears to be
plated in very peculiar manner, and
is of great length and thickness, though
in some parts detached, owing to part
of the skull having been DESTROYED.

man on the 1st of August, 1873, the re-
lations of the Government with banks
acting as agents of the Government in
the sale of 4-per-cent. bonds were
clearly defined. That circular gave the
banks ninety days in which to turn over
the money received for 4 per cents.
This was its language:
As soon as the 4-per cent. bonds are paid for
by certificates Of deposit of such public de-
p sitories, or otherwise, call will issue ma
turing within ninety days, for the redemption
OF O percent bonds, and the money received
for 4-per-cent. bonds will remain on deposit
until such call natures.
On the LIST of January, of the present
year, Mr.. Sherman increased the COM
mission to be allowed to the First
National and other depository banks en-
the bonds for which they might sub
scribe. This kind act of Mr.. Sherman's
practically put the whole business of
selling the bonds into the hands of the
favored banks, chiefly the FIRST National,
for it enabled them to undersell the
Government itself in disposing of the
bonds in small quantities to actual pur-
chasers. At that time, as will be re-
membered, the daily subscriptions in
creased in an enormous proportion.
Simulian ously with the increase, Mr..
Sherman issued another circular, sus-
pending that of Aug. /, 1878.
This new circular said nothing
about ninety days grace to the banks.
In almost SO many words it promised the
First National Bank, controlled by the
old Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co. ring,
that the money derived from the sale of
the bonds should remain on deposit as
long as Mr.. Sherman chose to let it re-
main. This was the language of the
new circular:
account of subscriptions will remain on deposit
with said bank, but subject to the order Of the
Treasurer of the United States.
Several interesting questions arise I:
Did John Sherman, in the kindness of
his great heart, foresee, eight months
ago, that the Jay Cooke financiers would
be embarrassed to settle with the Gov
ernment within the ninety days limit? I?
Did the ingenious fnanciers of the
First National Bank, i'll the simplicity
of their natures, misinterpret the
thoughtful act of kindness, and assume
that Mr.. Sherman meant that they
might go on owing the Government
thirty or forty millions until the crack
of doom? ;5g
What would become of the peoples
money if the Jay Cooke, McCulloch g.
Go. financiers should fail. as they have

Nosing Around.

Some of those chaps who wear their
elbows down thin leaning on saloon
counters have an artificial fly with
fine thread attached to the back, and
sometimes these toys can be handled to
the amusement of small crowd. When
an unknown man, yesterday, fell asleep
in saloon on Michigan avenue, the
young man with an artificial fly was
there. He took position behind his
victim, who was lying back in his chair,
and presently the fly alighted on the
strane er's nose, walked up the bridge
and down, and settled for moment on
the tip end. The sleeper never moved
a finger. The fly went over the old
road, dove into the corner of the left
eye, galloped over to the right, and
came down to the grand stand on the
dead run, but the sleeper slept on. 1t
began to appear that he was used to
flies, and so the game was changed. By
sticking pin through one of these toys
you can make quite bee of it, the pin
being the stinger.
When the "bee" descended on the
strangers nose everybody expected to
see sudden start, but it did not come.
After a iab at the tip end the "bee"
crawled along up, waiting for develop
ments and getting in an occasional
sting, but not even sigh escaped the
sleeper. The young man with the in
sect was getting tired when the stranger
lazily opened his eyes, slowly rose up
from his chair, and coolly remarked:
"Now, then, if you have got through
fooling with my nose, I'll fool with
yours for awhile!"
1t isn't likely that particular young
man will ever dangle artificial flies any
more. He was doubled up, straight
ened out, choked, mopped, and slammed
SO thoroughly that his appetite will run
to chicken broth and arnica for some
days to come. When the cyclone had
passed, the stranger called for gin
drank it, and said to the white-faced
crowd on the bench:
Gentlemen, if any more of you see
anything peculiar about my nose cal
around and let me know!"-Detroii il

Fixing Things Beforehand.

Did Mr.. John Sherman have reason,
eight months ago, to expect that his
friends of the First National Bank
would find it impossible to pay back
into the treasury the millions which he
proposed to leave ON deposit with
them?
In the circular issued by Mr.. Sher-
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-09-11
culated in these envelopes all over the

culated in these envelopes all over the
country in direct violation Of law, for
which the sender might be prosecuted.
When the head of the department thus
openly prostitutes public trust to
personal object, and makes his subordi-
mates participants in the offense, it is
easy to see what effect such an example
must have on the clerks, and what the
state of discipline must be under him.
This is only an illustration Of the
practices at Washington, where the
whole public service is used to advance
partisan and personal interests, and
where hypocrisy is added to the corrup-
ton that Grant bequeathed as legacy
to his successor,
