WASHINGTON.


UNITED STATES currency outstanding
is 1885,, 622, S35.
THURSDAY, Nov. -, has been designated
by the president as a day of national
thanksgiving.
THE department of state is advised by
kilograms from our ministers to Chilli and
Peru that the conference between the
belligerent powers under the good offices
of the United States has closed without
any result.
COLLECTOR CLARK, under date of Allan
ia. Ga, telegraphs: Have seized within
thirty days thirty illicit distilleries, two
teams and about one thousand gallons of
Illicit spirits Nine of the distilleries
were in the notorious Red Oak neighbor-
hood. As soon as stills are torn out in
that section others are at once set up and
Illicit work resumed.
JUDGE LAWRENCE, first comptroller of
the treasury. has rendered a decision in
which he shows that there is no specific
statute regarding the payment of lost
bonds. The decision holds that when gov
eminent bonds payable to "bearer" has
been lost the government may, after
sufficient length of time, make payment
thereof on clear proof of ownership and an
execution of proper bond of indemnity.
A REPORT has been telegraphed from
here on the 9th inst, saving that Gen.
Sherman would ask this winter to be
placed on the retired list, and that Lieut.
Gen. Sheridan would be transferred to
Washington Gen. Sherman now has
nothing to do but to amuse himself as he
pleases running about the country at gov
eminent expense during the summer and
dancing attendance upon the pretty girls
in Washington in the winter. He has
the best place under the government, and
how anyone should dream of his renounc-
ing it is hard to understand. One might
as well think of a successful holder throw
ing up lottery ticket drawing the capital
prize on account of moral scruples.
CHEF BROOKS, of the secret service, has
returned from Chicago, where he went to
interview Doyle. He says, first that
counterfeit United States 6 per cent. bonds
of the issue of 1861, of the denomination
of $1,000, have been hypotheeatcd by
Brock yay, Dovle, ct al. and some of
them are now in the hands of private in
diyiduals and banking institutions in this
country as collateral for loans; second,
that this class of bonds have also been for
warded to Europe and have been or viii
be hypothecated there. The chiefengrav-
er of the bureau OF engraving and printing,
after careful examination, pronounces
the bonds captured in Chicago from Doyle
as undoubtedly counterfeit. Mr. Upton,
acting secretary of the treasury, says there
is no reason to suppose any of those coun-
terfeit bonds or coupons have been paid by
the treasurer, but that they are most
dangerous counterfeit, and dealers in gov
eminent securities should be on their
guard

The name of the happy lady, who, by the

Mr.. SMALLEY telegraph to the Tribune
from London The gravity of the situa-
ton in Ireland occupies English attention
almost to the exclusion of the foreign and
colonial difficulties. The reports during
the week from Dublin conflict alike re-
specting the prosecution of the land
league leaders and the policy of the Irish
executive touching the whole question.
The latest accounts say the government
intends 10 indict six of the leading agita-
tors, Mr.. Parnell included. Growing i'm
patience is manifested by the Irish land
lords in regard to what they consider to be
hesitation on the part of the government.
This Impotence is shared by the
English public, who begin to perceive that
the agitation is directed, not against bad
landlords merely, but, SO far as it is agrari-
an and not political, against the principle
of ownership in land except by actual oc-
cupiers who cultivate the soil. Threat
ening letters multiply daily. No one of
them has affected public opinion more
than that which has compelled Lord Clan
curry to abandon his estate, although he
was engaged in no quarrel with his ten
ants or laborers, nor had he raised rents
or evicted occupiers. He was even popu-
lar personally and consistent toward every
body. His sole supposed ohense is that
he attempted to farm lands when the leases
fell in and new tenants could be obtained.
The authorities finally warned him that it
was impossible for them to guarantee his
safety.

1t has long been known that flowers
were necessary to insects; but it is only
within the last few years that it has
been discovered that insects are quite
as necessary to flowers. There are,
however, but two or three tribes of in
sects whose visits are serviceable to
flowers in the way Of fertilization. The
Lepidoptera or butterfly tribe are
specially so, and the moths flying by
night and visiting such flowers as are
only open at that time, are furnished
with a trunk or proboscis which sucks up
honey in fluid state, and in seeking
ii the insect becomes covered with pol
len, which it transfers from flower TO
flower. In this way a single insect will
fertilize many flowers Besides being
attracted by the color Of flowers, insects
seem capable Of approaching taste and
smell, just as the higher animals do.
What flowers are to insects, fruits are
to birds and animals Both are col
ored, scented, and sweet; but they have
acquired their various allurements for
the attraction of widely different crea-
lures Chambers Journal

The Duke of Wellington was once
sorely puzzled. He received letter
from a lady to whom he was under
social obligations, requesting the gift
of his Waterloo JreecheS. He read the
letter with amazement. What could
the lady be thinking OF? What use
could she possibly have for his old
breeches? Was she collecting 4
museum IF curiosities. and wished this
memeto of q great battle? He consult
ed some other friends IS to her mental
sanity, but they could recall no evl-
dence of excentricity in her previous
life They were as much puzzled as he
nj the oddness of he Request.
The duke, however, instructed his
major-domo to look up his old clothes
and see if anything remained from the
Waterloo campaign But as nothing
cuald he found, he sent note to the
lady, with regrets that the breeches
were destroyed, but begging her to ask
any other favor within his power to
grant Her perlexity equaled his own,
for she intended to ask for Waterloo
beeches, new kind of ornamental tree
which the duke had introduced on his
estate.

A special dispatch from Providence
says Mr.. Chaffee, trustee of the
Spraguc estate has appointed Mr..
Robert Thompson, Of Wakefield, as
custodian Canonchet, the summer
residence made famous by visit there
of Senator Conkling. There is very
little interest manifested in the matter
hereabout, but story has been set
ahoat to the effect that letters throwing
new light on 2n old domestic diff
Gully have been found at Canonchet,
and that these letters are the personal
property which Mrs. Sprague seeks to
recover. 1t viii be remembered there
was sale of Mrs. Spragues personal
effects at Canonchet after she left that
residence two years ago OF course
she had abundant opportunity then to
secure any private papers belonging to
herself on premises, and it is not to
be supposed that anything Of any real
value to her can have been left at
Canonchet. Gov. Sprague is at Canon
chet in full possession and threatens
trouble if he is disturbed IN his posses
sion Of the premises. As yet Mr..
Thompson has made no move to dis
turb him, and the story about the cor
respondence supposed TO exist there is
probably made out ofwhole cloth.
