MINOR NOTES.

Gen. Grant has not yet degned to call on
President Garfield at Long Branch, notwith-
standing the fact that they are within stones
throw of each other.
Secretary Robert Lincoln has three chill
dren, the second being an eight-years. old son
named Abraham" who rides e. bicycle like
a professional with the sons of President
Garfield and Attorney General MacVeagh.
One of the Salt Lake Gentle papers re-
ports the arrival of of a lot of European
slaves" in several freight cars and says that
''the best looking girls will be auctioned off
to the thickest- necked polygs, while the men
will be parceled out on the church ranches 4"
The item may raise a smile, but there is
horrible truth in it.
Uncle Sam has quite pile of coin to count
at the end of the fiscal year. There is about
$4,000, 900 in gold coin and bullion and over
ST., 900, 900 in silver dollars and silver bull
lion to count and weigh at the San Francisco
mint At the New Orleans mint there is over
So, 600, 600 in silver dollars and silver bullion.
AT Philadelphia there is So, 900, 900 in gold
coin and $25, 10000 600 in gold bullion, ST.
800, 600 in silver dollars and bullion, while at
the New York assay office there is over $780,
900, 900 in gold bullion alone to weigh and
count.
Mr.. Hayes's characterization of Conkling
was given in private conversation, and not
in formal interview. 1t was all the more
direct and pungent, for this very reason.
South Carolina women have one right
which is denied to the men. A colored Wo-
wan was arrested recently for carrying pis-
tol, and discharged on the ground that the
law prohibiting the carrying of concealed
weapons applies only to men.
President Garfield brought his wife to
Long Branch on Saturday, where she will re-
main for some time to enjoy the benefit of
the sea air. Mrs. Garfield is still suffering
somewhat from the weakness incidental TO
her disease, but she has quite overcome the
disease itself, and is now on the road to per-
tectly restored health.
The Troy Times, formerly strenuous sup
porter of Mr.. Conkling, says that the popu-
lar sentiment against the election of Mr..
Conkling, even among stalwarts, is more pro-
nounced outside than in the legislature. In
any assemblage of Republicans numbering
LOG, outside of the joint convention of the
legislature, not more than 10, if as many,
could be found in favor of the reelection of
the senators.
Gov. Cornell has vetoed bill providing for
the retirement and pensioning of public
school teachers in New York and BROOKLYN
His chief objection is that teachers do moth
ing imperilng their lives which might entitle
them to PENSIONS and he is also of opinion
that such law would have a demoralizing
effect upon the teachers themselves
As to possible panic, conditions for which
similar to those that existed in 1873 some
writers are trying to make the public believe
now exist, the Financial Chronicle disposes
of the matter summarily by pointing out the
striking contrast between the then bank loans
and deposits, and those of to-day In Sep
TENDER, 1873, loans reached 1914, 900, 600,
with only $673, 1000, 900 deposits, while inter
est on the street was per cent, and lawful
money was only $22s, 100000. Now loans
are 81, OS9, DOC, 900, deposits 81, O39, 900, OOO
interest 3 and per cent, and lawful money
about S4OO, 600, 900.
The "Globe company" which has adver-
tised itself SO persistently, promising ten per
cent. dividends to stockholders, proves TO be
the fraud which cautious people suspected,
and has collapsed.
