WASHINGTON, July "a. First Comp
troller Lawrence has issued the following
circular to United States Marshals: "
BY Appropriation Act OF June 80, 1879,
expenses OF transporting convicts from
one Judicial District to another and ex.
penses OF saiaried officers OF the Govern.
ment attending Courts as witnesses In be.
half OF the United States were classed
among miscellaneous expenses OF Courts
This caused change in the established
mode OF accounting for said expenses In
Appropriation OF June 10, 1880, providing
for expenses OF Courts during the fiscal
year, items OF miscellaneous expenses are
not specified.
This seems to indicate on the part oi
Congress an intention to leave the Classii'
cation OF items to the officers OF the Exec
utiye Departments, and the, accounting
officers have concluded to resume the form
or methods OF adjustment, After June
20, 1850, Marshals will charge In their ac
counts for fees OF witnesses, expenses o
Government salaried officers who attend
the courts as witnesses on behalf OF the
United States, and will render, with the
accounts, vouchers for the payments made
stated in the items, and sworn to as the
law requires. Fees and expenses incurred
after said date, in transportation Of al
prisoners, ara TO be charged Ii
accounts for fees and expenses OF Marshals
Marshals who are required to remove con
yicts from their own districts to prisons IL
other districts SHOULD obtain the spproya
OF the Attol ney General TO their bill o
expenses before including them in thel
accounts. This Office has been informed
that in some instances guards have beer
used where there was no necessity 10
them, and in other instances the guarC
hire has been charged when guards wer'
not in fact employed. No construction o
the law will Justify such charges. Guar
hire is not a gratnitY but Is only charge
able when guards are necessary and whel
they are actually employed. ~ r.

CHICAGO, July 24.-To.day's racing stir.
red up young blood in old bones, and
caused q feeling OF satisfaction among
sporting men, because sport instead Of be.
ing in It's decadence, Is gaining new points
OF beauty every year. The surprises of the
day were not numerous, bnt there was an
immense amount Of enthusiasm over the
few that came. The air was Of that pecu-
liar purity which horses delight in, and
yet the heat OF the sun was enough to
warm the muscles and oil the nimble limbs
OF the horses into unwonted activity and
limberness. The track was simply perfec.
tion, old turfmen agreeing that they had
never seen conditions more favorable for
fast trotting.
The 2:SO race was closely contested in
six heats, the records were lowered won
derfully.
The 2:25 race was an easy victory for

OYSTER Magnates.

The late Sidney Dorlon, writes the
New York correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Gazette, was the most popular oys-
ter man in America. He began poor,
but left q fortune. This remarkable de-
gree of success was due to his rare neat
ness and good taste. His place was al
way attractive, and SO were his oysters.
Hence he commanded the best patron
age of the city. Simple as the cooking
of IN oyster may seem, there was afasci-
nation in Dorlon's style which few could
approach. He died q few years ago,
leaving $50, 00O, all made in q moderately
sized oyster-house. Van Name, who
kept at the corner of Broadway and Full
ton streets, won a distinguished reputa-
ton in this line and became rich. He
afterwards got above his business and
caught the fever of o Leaving
the oyster saloon, he was induced to aid
in organizing a savings bank, of which
he was made President. Instead of
serving out shilling stews he eat in a
cushioned chair in a business parlor and
signed such papers as were placed in his
hands. The result was just what might
be expected. The bank failed, and Van
Name not only lost all his money, but
narrowly escaped an indictment. 1t is
a curious feature in the trade that deal
ers, when sending home oysters to their
customers, always use a pail painted blue
outside and white inside. Blue and
white are the oysterman's arms.

Anecdote Of Zach Chandler.

When MI. Chandler was in the De-
partment of the Interior, at Washing
ton, a man called one morning at his Of
flee. Introducing himself, he said /:
"Mr. Chandler, I presume it is your
intention to have none but correct per-
sons in your Department."
"That is my intention"
"Well, sir, do you know that you
have a m in n of the bureaus OF
your department who is of bad charac-
ter?"
mo, sir ; I do not know that I have
any such person in my department"
III thought you didn't, MI. Chandler,
and 80 I decided to come and inform
you"
The name of the clerk was then given,
and the charges against her made s i'll
more explicit. MI. Chandler listened
quietly, and finally picked up a pen and
handed it to his caller.
"Just put that down in writing, sir,
and, if it is true, I will dismiss the
woman" he said.
The accuser hesitated, and said !:
Snow, I hope, Mr.. Chandler, you will
not connect my name with this matter.
I don't want to be known"
The Secretary thereupon leaned back
in his chair, and said I: "You know all
about this woman, and I know nothing
about her, except what you state to me-.
But you want me to put a stain on her
reputation upon charges you are unwill-
ing to substantiate with your name.
Never! Leave the officel
Upon the abrupt departure of the wis.,
itor so dismissed, Mr.. Chandler turned
to one of his clerks and said "He be-
longs to that class of informers who do
not hesitate to ruin a person, but don't
want to assume the responsibility of
their acts. I cannot be a party to any
such transaction"

Marrow Escapes.

Sometimes, when I look back over my
life, I am amazed to see how the pages
OF its record are dotted with hair-breadth
escapes. I escaped the dangers and
hardships of the Revolutionary war by
waiting until the wal had been over
about sixty years before I got born.
When the Brooklyn Theater burned I
was in Burlington. When the yellow
fever broke out in New Orleans I was in
Minnesota, and immediately skipped
out for Canada. When I was a boy, at
school, one day all the boys in school
were fogged all round for robbing an
apple orchard, and the fogging didn't
do a bit of good, for every beggar of
them had the cholera morbus all that
night, Just the same. And I? I was
attending another school, twenty-three
miles distant. When all of my brothers
and sisters were down with the scarlet
fever I was down South in the army, and
when I read the letters from home I
laughed aloud to think of my great
good fortune, and that I would only
have to be shot at nee or twice a week
instead of having to take medicine three
times, q day. When a man comes to the
Office with a little bill, nine times out of
ten I am out. And If, by some aston
ishing blunder, I am in, then indeed I
am more unfortunate, but the man is in
no better luck than before.-Burdette,

An Indian "Talk."

The details of Nj. Peace Commissioner
Judd's interview with Sitting Bull and
Rain-in-the-F Face, at Poplar River Agen-
cy, are Just coming in. These hostile
chiefs, with a large following, invaded
the agency, and by threats and firing of
guns scared Judd and Pollock, the Agent,
badly. After feeding the hostiles well,
however, they consented to "a talk"
Said Commissioner Judd to the inter-
prefer: .'Tell Rain-in-the-Face to say
to Sitting Bull that he must take his
people right out of this and leave these
peaceable Indians alone"
Interpreter-"He wants to know who'll
make him p
Mr.. Judd-"TeIl him that I will. I
have only to raise my hand and a hun
bred thousand warriors will rush in with
their glittering steel, and guns with a
big mouth, and clean out the whole out
fiji"
"Rain-in-the-Fa says
all the people the Great Father has sent
here are liars, and that you look just
like the rest. of them. He says, also,
that you have a bigger mouth than any
of the guns you talk about. He remarks,
further, that if you are not careful it
will take all the agricultural knowledge
contained in several issues of your valu-
able journal (meaning the american
Agricutturis0 to grow q fresh crop OF
the capillary vegetable on the summit
of your Uranium after his friend s. B.
interviews you on what he knows about
scalping."
Mr.. Judd (excitedly)e"Tell him he
must go or take the consequences ]"
Interpreter-"He says blank the con.
sequences, he means to take the rest Of
the vegetables! He took all the turnips
last night, and he proposes to occupy
the corn, cabbage and potatoes before
he is an hour older"
Mr.. Judd-"Ask him if he knows the
power that lies behind me, within easy
call"
Interpreter-"He says you bet he
does, and that he knows you have lots Of
tin your mind. ~ CHICAGO Tribune.

Making 1t Clear.

The Chicago Times says, "Just as
there is a character of which is mani
tested in q mode of life, so there is a
character of men which is manifested in
amode of thought" We ale panied to
see a paper which is usually so correct
and reliable as the Times should forget
itself so far as to make a statement like
the above. Everybody knows that the
character of men is not manifested in a
mode of thought-at least not nearly so
much as the mode of thought is mani
tested inthe character of men. The char
acter of the modeof thought depends, al
ways and in every instance, far more
upon the mode of men than it does upon
the character of the manifest, or voucher.
We thought everybody knew that. II, as
the Times contends, the character of the
mode of thought is manifested entirely on
the life of men, how, then. is the mode
of character manifested in the thought of
the manifest? 1t does not stand to
reason. Or, again: Should the mode of
thought be manifested entirely in the
character of men, as the Times asserts,
what would be the mode of life manifested
in the character of the thought after it
had become manifested in the thought of
the character of men? It is a mis-deal,
as we have got six cards, and the Times
must throw them around again.-Peck's

stir into this two tablespoonfuls of curry
powder. or less if too much curry is not
fixed; when it has been boiled for ten
minutes, skim and pass through a sieve,
using a masher to render the vegetables
into a pulp.
To PICKLE PEACHES, PnUMs, AND
PEARs.-Take of ripe peaches, plums,
pears, or apples; seven pounds of sugar:
M quart Of vinegar, and n ounce of
mixed spices; put the sugar and vinegar
together, and pour ove the fruit, allow
ing it to stand until the next morning,
when repeat this process, straining the
juice off the fruit, letting it come to the
boil, and continue to do so for four morn
ings; then add spices. and put all over
the fire, and cook very slowly until they
look rich and clear. Pears should be
boiled in water until you can run a broom
whisk through them. Ounces are also
delicious when preserved in this manner.

81 Want to Be an Angel"

The importance of timeliness in per-
sonal effort for the good of souls was eff
fectually learned by a city minister's wife
the other day. She was entertaining the
infant class in her parlor. Among the
"~infants" was a sweet little three-year-
old cherub, with flowing brown curls,
large blue eyes, fair complexion, and de-
spite her blue silk dress and long sash, a
pure heavenliness of expression. They
had Just sung 81 want to be an angel"
and had returned to their sport. And
now, to begin the loving lure for that
young soul, already to mortal view SO
neal the pearly gate, the good woman
held out her hands with the most winning
grace, and asked in her softest tones:
"Dora, dear, do you want to be an an
gelg" Looking up from her suddenly
slightly ''took down" her fascinated hos
tess with the outburst, "Oh, go to grass;
don't observation-disclosures.

Alike.

The twin daughters of John Ramsey,
of Lexington, KY, are SO accurately
alike as to puzzle wen their parents in
determining their identity; Not only
are their features exactly alike, but they
are the same size, same height, same
figure, same weight to within half a
pound.
They are now in their 18th year, have
never been sick, nor separated for any
length of time, are in the same classes,
study from one book, are both remark
ably sprightly, qnite handsome, and
each devoted to the other.
The most remarkable feature in the
case is the fact that they have never had
the slightest variation in weight from
birth to the present time. They are
named Mary and Martha.

In a lake near st. Paul the other day
a box was picked up containing two hui
man heads, and there is great excite
ment. We do not see why there should
be great excitement. The probability is
that, though human heads were plenty,
boxes were scarce, and the man put the
two in one box to economic. It may
not have been very good taste, but we
cannot see any reason to get excited be-
our ideas of propriety differ from
