hepropositisn to suspend the city

uch like a piece Of bluff to have
influence on the legislature. We
Il venture to say the teachers do not
sh the schools closed at that time,
hether they are paid or not, as they
bow that their salaries will be forth
ning sooner or later. This is not
e first time that we have been threat
ed With a suspension of the city
hool', yet it has never come to pass
d need not now if good business
engagement prevails. In 1875, when
e city charter was so materially
nended by the legislature,
ID the assessment for school
lrposes was reduced, we were told

at the schools we're ruined and
puld have to be suspended a greater

Yankee Economy.

Since the slaughter of cattle in this
country for shipment to Europe has be-
come a business, an industry has been
established IN Mddletown, Conn, for
the purpose of working up the large
homes which are cut off with the feet
The bcnes are sawed up by machines
particularly adapted to the purpose;
the solid portions are made TO buttons
and knife handles, the knuckle joints
ground up and with the dust from the
saws sold for II fertilizer, and the small
pieces of the hard bone granulated ard
used by gun and tool manufacturers in
case-hardening. The bones are used
while fresh, as they soon begin to color
and articles made of stained bone are
not be marketable. The buttons when
made from the fresh bone are whittier
than ivory, and sold under the name of
"Sitka ivory" This single establish
ment received from New York during
the last year no less than 1,2O0,OOO OK
shins, and the demand has increased to
such all extent that the price has risen
within a year from $2l to $50 per ton;
but even at the latter price handsome
margin is left for the manufacturer.

Peru y present Position.

PANAMA, June 3O.-The Star and
Herald's Lima dispatch of June Sth,
says: "rhe United States Legation
here, we are informed, received dis
patches q week since from " ashingtOn
instructing tn, Minister to proceed TO
recognize the Government 0t Mr. Cald-
eron should such u step, in his judg-
ment, seem to be convenient. Great
stress is laid by the American secre-
tary of State on the weight OF the moral
support accorded by the people to Mr..
Calderon'S administration, and of this
there can be entertained but one cpin-
ion when the character and prestige of
the citizens who called him into office
and the names of those holding positions
under him are considered.
The State Department also reminds
the Minister that constitutional govern
ments are especially favored by tho
United States. The first step taken by
the Provisional Administration was to
proclaim the Cors tuition ct Peru adopt
su in 1860. The third intiInation con.
tained in the dispatches referred to is
that the American Government would
naturally prefer aiding with its moral
support and efforts tending toward the
re- establishment of peace in Peru.
Therefore favorable determination of
this very important question is looked
for at any moment. The official recog-
milton OF the Provisional government by
The United States would doubtless be fol-
lowed by the same action on the part of
other nations, and the impulse given to
Peru in her endeavors towards peace
