ing false certificate of destruction of
$40, 900 worth, and Gen. Spinner, Secre-
taries Boutwell, and Bristow, and Others,
persistently refused to investigate the
matter, though about $500 100000 Of
notes had passed through Jones' hands
in perfect shape, much of it never even
having been issued. The checks and
precautions against theft in destruction
are found to have been grossly neglected
and disregarded in many respects. Gen.
Spinner swore that "they have q rule
that nothing must be divulged that takes
place in the Treasury"
The report concludes by stating that
many of these and other matters need
much more investigation; that by no
other method can the people learn the
truth about the Government, or Congress
get the information necessary to legisla-
tion; that the Treasury is full of oppor-
tunities for wrong that have doubtless
been largely used that that as well as
other Departments is run by Ring;
that the Government has far too much to
do 10 do it honestly or well, and that only
by wholesale cutting down of Govern.
ment power and a wide abolition of
Government functions and offices can
despotism and national ruin be escaped.

FA1ru.-The following is an incident on

FA1Tn.-The following isan incident on
the recent return of some British officers
from Afghanistan: Scene-The widest part
of the Khyber, with barren rocks towering
on all sides; an English officer riding
along, escorted by motley company of
Maliks and tribes-men all armed to the
teeth more armed Afreedees in the mid
die distance; weary, lonely figure toiling
on the edusty road in huge black boots, face
burned brick red and fringed by a scan-
ty sandy beard. The figure is clad in a
thick wadded garment and has a bundle on
its back. "Halt! Who are ?" 'Tur.
kestani." "Where are your comrades :"
II am alone" "Where are you going 2"
"To Mecca" "How will you get there ?"
"God will help" "Peace be with you"
"And with you" The figure moves OIL,
and the armed circle break up. This
poor devotee had tramped hundreds of
miles through hills and valleys, swarm
ing with cut throats, secure in his simple
faith which had led him to leave dis
tant TurkesLan in quest of the still more
distant Mecca.-Indian Pioneer.

A WHALE THREsHER.-The schooner
Martha, from Georges Banks, brought,
with a cargo of fish to this port yesterday,
the largest whale thresher remembered
by old market men to have ever been
seen in this city. 1t was caught in
pound net at Woods Hole, Mass, on
Tuesday, and was killed with a lance.
The last one exhibited in Washington
market was fifteen years ago, and it was
so small q specimen of its kind that
some fish dealers believed that it was q
species of shark. The fish that arrived
yesterday was exhibited by G. A. Lewis.
1t was very nearly fourteen feet long,
and it monopolized the entire front at
the stand. Persons stopped to examine
it, and all day long a throng was press:
ing around it. Half of the length OF
the curious fish was body and the other
half tail. The tail tapered off gradually,
and had been looped up by rope at.
tached to a beam above. The weight of
the creature was 600 pounds. The naked
skin on the back and sides was auniform
blush drab color from the snout to the
tip of the tail. The tail was as much
separate part of the body as dogs tail
is of its body, which appearance made
it resemble land or amphibious animal
more than fish. The eyes were as large
as cows, and could be rolled in their
sockets. The mouth was comparatively
small, and the teeth short, sharp and of
a uniform length in both jaws. Sticking
straight up from the middle of the back
was dark fin, eleven inches long, of the
same color as the body, tough and COM
pact yet Deither bony nor hard. The
fish yielded like caoutchouc to the finger,
but on releasing the pressure the skin
sprang back to its original form. The
body from end to end, seemed a mass of
cartilage. The long tail is used by the
animal like a rawhide in attacking its
enemy, the whale. 1t forms a sort of
alliance with the sword-fish, the latter
thrusting its sword into the whale from
below, and the thresher attacking it from
above. The threshers run in schools, and
from ten to twenty will attack whale
at once. Those who have witnessed
combat between threshers and whales say
that it is an exciting spectacle. The
water flies in showers Of foam in all di-
rections, as the threshers hurl themselves
mt the whales like animated cowhides.
For hours they rain blows on the head
and sides of the huge animal. Between
the piercing thrusts of the swordfish and
the 'flail-liie blows of the thresher,
whale rarely escapes. From the carcass
the victors get their food for many a day
afterward. Through the little slit in the
side of the thresher exhibited yesterday
oozed blood as red as that of land
animal. The gills were four in number
on each side.-Meto York Sun.

Remarkable Prayer of the Late Prince
Louis Napoleon.

A PRAYER in the handwriting of the
Prince Imperial has been found among
papers in his desk at Camden Place. 1t
is published by the London Morning
Post, which adds: "The elucidation of
his high character alone justifes the pub.
lication of sacred document, which will
prove to the world how intimately he
was penetrated with all the feelings
which most become Christian, and
which give higher hopes than are afford
ed by the pains and perils of this transi-
tory life." The following is transla-
tion:
