AMERICANS ABROAD.

One question that has been figured
upon a good deal Is the amount Of mon
ey spent by American tourists in Europe.
The annual report of our consul at Stutt-
CART covers that subject completely. He
says that during the year ending July I,
1878, 1855 cabin passengers left the
United States for Europe, in steamers,
and 3O,974 left Europe for the United
States. 1t thus appears that the depart
ures for Europe were 5,5S1 over those for
America-the excess being about Is per
cent. In regard to steerage passengers
the excess was the other way, though not
so largely as most persons would imag-
inc. The number coming to this cOun-
try was 1O6, S34; the number going to
Europe $3.50. Estimating so per cent
of the passengers To be Americans, 1t fol
lows that 1924 of our cOuntrymen Wis
tied Europe during the year above men
toned. This is about the average OF
most years. Assuming these figures to
be normal and the average period of alb
sence at two years, the number of Amer
leans constantly in Europe would bc
81. 48S. And this is the figure the Amer
can consul at Stuttgart gives as the aver
age. Their total daily expenditure, based
on an average of % gold day, amounts
to $780,. "A. or $1O6, 5S4, 600 per year, fol

turn in the way of Eurpean tourists here

WHY RESUMPTION Is EASY.

In calculating the prospects of re
sumption, it Is q mistake to figure that
the gold in the treasury is confronted by
all the outstanding greenbacks, amount
ing to $S46, OOO, 900. Secretary Sherman
counts on at least $40 900, 600 as prac-
tically unavailable for resumption. There
is first an average of $40, 600, 900 of legal
tenders in the treasury from year to year,
covering the following items: Special
fund for redemption of fractional cur1en-
cy; redemption of notes OfnatiOnal banks
failed, in liquidation, and reducing cir
culatiOn; 5 per cent. redemption fund
disbursing officers balances, and certifi-
Gates of deposit issued under act of June
8, 1872. This amount of $7O,OOO,OO0 is
almost constantly in the treasury, and,
Mr.. Sherman says, cannot be presented
for redemption" Of course as long as
they are in the treasury, and he thinks
there is no probability of their being
taken out. In the second place, there are
$40, OOO, 900 of legal tenders held by the
national banks, which the banks have TO
take care of, and which, says the Secre-
tary, they cannot run in upon us with
out subjecting themselves to the VIOLA
tion of the law of their creation" The
Secretary says that at the recent confer
ence which he held with the New York
clearinghouse bankers, the latter declar-
ed that they would continue to prefer
legal tenders to coin and national bank
reserves. Another element of the case
which makes an attack on the treasury
impracticable Is that the law for resump-
ton at New York alone is in effect tax
of 81 to 50 per $1,000 on all the green
backs outside of New York City sent in
for resumdtion. The treasury is requn-
ed to redeem only in sums of $50 and up
wards, in New York, and this must pre-
vent anything like general demand be
ing made throughout the country. The
redemption process is so hedged about
and protected from a sudden or general
rush for coin, that it certainly ought to
meet all emergencies it is liable to, while
the greenback currency is kept down to
its present limits.

CALEB CUsHING.

The eminent deaths for 1879 began on
the I'd, with the deskh of Caleb Cushing,
at his home in NewburypOrt, Mass. He
was born January II, 1900. He had been
an active member Of the bar for sixty
four years, and one of the very ablest in
his profession. His life was a very ac-
tive one He was a member Of Presi-
dent Tyler's cabinet, and as commission
er to China negotiated the first treaty be
tween that country and the United States,
and his eminent abilities made him one
of the counsel of this government at the
Geneva conference. Mr. Cushing was
not only great lawyer but one of the
most accomplished linguists and diplo
matists in all our history. His retiring
disposition and quiet mode of life kept
him from the public eye, and 1t was only
from his pre-eminent abilities that he
was drawn from the seclusion which he
seemed to court. In great and varied
Intellectual abilities, extensive learning
and all those accomplishments deemed
Exceptional among our public men, Ca
leb Cushing was without superior.

A WORSE WINTER THAN THIS.

The Kansas City Journal has gone
back to its files of 1856, and extracts from
them as follows relative to the winter OF
1856:
JAN. %, 1656.-"On the night of the
Gath OF December, 1855, the Missouri
river at this place was frozen over. Tits
now near Eve weeks that the river has
been q highway for teams of horses,
mules and oxen. We put this fact on
record for coming years. We have now
had near seven weeks Of hard freezing
weather. fact unparalleled in the his
tory of this country. People will here
after refer to the long, cold winter Of
1855 So"
FEB 9, 1856.-'The cold weather of
the past few weeks has been general.
From every part of America-from Hal
flax 20 Cuba we have accounts-and il is
everywhere spoken Of as the coolest ever
known. At Memphis the citizens are
putting up their ice, q circumstance un-
known before. The floating Ice has reach
ed the mouth of the Mississippi-a fact
unheard of, even in tradition. The Bra
EOS river, in Texas, is frozen sufficiently
hard for the crossing of teams. In Cuba
they have a real northern winter. At st.

ScRAFFoRD,s TR1A1.

The Scrafford trial is still dragging
along,in the district court at Topeka, AID
the Atchison Champion thus sumu.,.r-
ICES the case:
The defendant was on the witness
stand ON Thursday, and was interrogat-
ed at length, his examination consum-
ing the whole day. Mr. Scrafford swOre
that he had never had anything what
ever to do with any of the forged bonds:
that he neither wrote, nor procured the
writing OF, any of the letters signed by
Munford, Whitcomb and other fictitious
personages, who forwarded the forged
bonds to the school commissioners: that
he never signed, nor procured the Sign
ing of, any of the forged bonds; and, in
brief, that he knew nothing whatever
about the forgery. He denied the truth
of the statement made by bell boy at
the Pacific house, St. Joseph, to the eff
feet that he (Scrafford) had paid him
(the bOyO twenty-five cents for writing
some names on several sheets of paper
He explained his sudden flight from
Seneca IN this way: Some weeks be
fore the discovery of the treasury frauds
he and Lappin were in ST. Joseph to-
gether on business; and Lappin told
him there was registered letter in the
but which belonged to him, Lappin, and
contained deeds and other papers con-
corning some Illinois land Lappln
further stated that these deeds were
sent by one Floyd, real estate dealer,
and addressed TO fictitious name i'm or
der to prevent his Uappin's) creditors
from finding out anything concerning
them. Lappin said that he was well
known at the postOffice, and could not
obtain the letter, and urged him (Scraf-
ford) to procure it. This Scrafford said
he could not do, as he also was known.
But he procured a Mr.. Scott, of Seneca,
to personate MunfOrd, and the letter was
thus obtained.
When Lappin left Topeka and went
to Seneca, after the discovery Of the
forgery, he told Scrafford that the latter
thus procured contained money from
the State school board, for bonds which
were forged; that the forgery had been
I discovered, and would be traced to him
lLappin.) unless Scrafford left the coun-
try and thus destroyed the chain of evil
ldence which would connect hint appin, J
with the st. Joseph letter He finally,
IN order to save Lappin, agreed To do
this. He was, further, frightened by
the suggestion OfLappin that his agency
in obtaining the letter would connect
him with the forgery. So he went
away.
| Scrafford gave long account of his
ramblings in this country and in South
America; of his arrest in Chill, and his
release in Central Ameria; and of his
final voluntary return to this country
and surrender to the officers of Justice

A SINGULAR SnfcInE

The case of Col. Walton Dwight, of
Binghamton, n. Y, who recently died
after insuring his life for $22O, 900. and
was charged by some of the insurance
companies with committing suicide, is
fresh in the public mind. He seems to
have died for the express purpose of
making other people happy The insur-
ance companies have concluded to paw
in full, and his will disposes ofthe $780,
600 as follows:
To the needy poor of Binghamton he
leaves $4,000, the interest of which
shall annually be expended for a Christ
mas dinner for every poor family in the
city. The trustees of the fund shall con-
fine these dinners to mo particular race,
creed or Color" but once in the year
they shall make Gods poor happy with
full belly" For the fire department of
the same city he provides a fund that
shall furnish them also with an annual
dinner, with hope that such meetings
may tend to the unity and happiness of
the recipients" Indeed, Col. Dwight
provided an annual dinner for the press
OF Blnghampton, setting apart 81 900 for
that purpose. II is to be a dinner for
the editors, foremen and such guests as
they may choose to invite, with the
hope that the same may tend to promote
kindly spirit to each other, and pleas

personal friends are remembered. He

The State department has received q
dispatch from the United States CONSUL
at Barcelona, Spain, announcing the al.
rival there of the first cargo of wheat
that ever was imported to that place
from America. The cargo consisted OF
1000 bushels of Minnesota wheat, was
carried in an English steamer, and the
freight cost $4,000. There was great
excitement at the place, and the grain
was pronounced equal in quality to any
ever received in that market. The coun.
sui reports that one firm at once engag
ed three English streamers to bring
three cargoes of American wheat to
Barcelona, and it was thought that about
thirty-five cargOes would arrive during
the season.
