Washington 4.OsSiu.

Edward 3. Smith, assistant attorney general,
has resigned.
Andrew D. White, minister to Berlin, has
rendered his resignation to take effect August
Is, at which time he will return to the United
States. No appointment of a successor can be
made while the President remains in his present
condition..
Depositors in the late Frcedmans Bank and
Trust Company who have not filed any claim
or received any dividends that they must ap-
prove their claims and apply for dividends on or
before August Fl or they will be forever barred.
The Manufacture and sale of gold tokens
stamped like quarter dollars and half dollars
has been ordered discontinued by the treasury
department.
A dispatch has been received by the state de-
partment announcing that the treaty between
Chill and the Argentine Republic has been
signed, which settles the long disputed bound
AIRY question between those two countries,
Attorney General McVcagh has decided that
the President cannot set apart for military
reservations any public lands which have been
entered under the homestead law by settlers,
even 'pror to the completion of the full title in
the settler" but that where pre-emption has
las been made of public lands, such lands may
be set apart by the President at any time pre-
vious to the payment and the entry by the set
tier under the pre-emption law.
It is learned that Guiteau's wife procured
divorce from him in Kings County, N. Y, in
1874, on the ground OF lnhdellty. Gulteau
made defense, and the woman with whom
it was alleged his laison was carried on appear
ed as q witness for the plaintiff. At the same
time the defendant was prominent worker in
the Young Mems Christian Association in New
York city and a member of the Baptist church.
Guiteau seems to be rather pleased than
otherwise at his present quarters. He is afraid
tnat if he should get outside tho prison walls
he would be meted out speedy justice The
other day when asked to go down into the
warden's office he very reluctantly consented,
fearing that it was a ruse to get him into the
peoples hands. The cowardly scoundrel yet
expresses a wish that the President may die.
Ex-senator Conkling, accompanied by Sena-
ator Jones, Of Nevada, called at the White
House on the 25th inst. Upon being informed
of the Presidents improved condition, the ex-
senator expressed qualification and asked that
his sincere good wishes and sympathy be con-
veyed to Mrs. Garfield.

The chief exodus Of Germans is from Pr,,s-
sia. Bismarck has submitted to to the bundles
rath tables showing that during the year 1880
1l,454 young men liable to military service
quilted the fatherland for America, and that
this year the military service will be deprived of
at least 10000 young men. The period of
military service is from the age Of twenty to
forty-two, and if this emigration continues the
army will be greatly weakened by it. The
worst feature of the case is that the emigration
of this class means two-fold loss to the coun-
try-the sinew and backbone of the land are
leaving It, and the aged, infirm and children
are left behind

VERY few people, even those who are actively
engaged in mining, comprehend the magnitude
of the traffic in blasting powder. Last year
the sales were the largest ever known in Colo
RADIO, aggregating sixty carloads of 800 kegs
each, Or $4,000 kegs of black powder, and forty
cars, Or 100000 pounds of hig explosives
The average price of the black powder per keg
was 1886. and of the high explosive 36 cents
per pound, the whole aggregating something
over half a million Of dollars. The largest con-
sumcr OF these explosives is Leadville: Gilpin
is counted second, and Clear Greek third. The
sales this year will exceed those OF 1880 about
30 per cent, because of the very large con-
sumption for railway building.

STATISTICS laid before the congress of brew
ers which recently met at Versailles show that
there are in Europe about 10000 breweries
which produce annually nearly 1880, 900, 900
gallons of malt liquor. Great Britain alone
produces a third of the entire quantity, or to be
exact 785.017,002 gallons. Prussia comes next
with 318,579,998 gallons; Bavaria, 260, 757, ,O02
gallons; Austria, 245,975,158 gallons; and
France, 155,980,000 gallons. It will thus be
seen that the Teutonic nations are eminently
the beer producers, as they are also the princi-
pal beer drinkers; where wine is to be had
ncsrly as cheaply as beer, the malt liquor is not
preferred. The proportion in which beer is
consumed varies very much. Bavaria heads
the list with dfty-four gallons per head
per annuna, or rather over one gallon
week. Belgium is next with thirty gallons,
and England is about the same-n namely;

>THEKE are upon The island Of Jersey 12,0OO
head of cattle, which is about 2.4OO head to
every square mile. This is after deductipg the
land occupied by buildings, gardens, roads,
etc. Perhaps there is not another tract of land
of the same dimensions in the world which
sustains SO large number of cattle. Jersey
has exported for the last eighteen years an an
nual average of 2,049 head. Her ability to do
this is owing to the high cultivation of various
kinds of grass and roots. Among the latter
the parsnip is considered the most valuable,
and the islanders consider that the color of
their butter is due in a great measure to the
feeding of the parsnip. They do not conine
its use to the winter season, but feed it alike
the year round,

CLOSING PRICES or PIIL4Da1pHyA STOCKS
WEDNESDAY. Aug, 21-P. NJ.

WEDNESDAY. Aug. PAP. NJ.
The stock market to-day was duh but strong
Opening prices were fraction higher and in the
morning hours the market was fairly active After
an early decline prices rallied and again toward
the close they yielded somewhat but the market
ended strong but dull within per cent of tbe
highest figures for the day. The largest advance
was recorded IN Denver and Rio Grande. which
closed at s6li against S3i2 yesterday having
touched S63a early in the day. In the yolume of
business this stock was second and second only IN
Western Union Telegraph. This did not fall below
ITS opening price, and, alone of the active stocs
closed at its highest point, S7i 1t isnot impossible
that peculiar significance may attach to this
circumstance. The Southwestens closed strong
and in some of them the dealings were unusually
heavy. Wabash common. which alone opened be-
low tho last price yesterday, ended with n final
gam of g per cent, while preferred recorded an I'M
provemcnt of ia per cent. Texas Pacific made n
similar advance Missouri Pacific rose lo per cent
and Missouri Kansas and Texas 15s per cent the
last prices of all these about l2 per cent below
their highest. On the other hand, the trunk line
shares gained little III the final changes, and Central
and Hudson closed unchanged at 1924. Erie was
u per cent better, Lake Shore Il per cent. but
Michigan Central rose from 90 TO 03s after sales at
042 Union Pacific was moderately active but of its
final gain of los per cent 1t gathered nearly the
whole at the start. There fair business i'm the

special indications in the days dealings that he
purchases of stock were made Tor the long account
the fears of the bears gave the market much of
its strength. The popular opinion that the Treasury
announcement would relieve the money stringency
greatly was helped by reports of large remittances
of bonds to-day. 1t is probable that considerable
amount will be received by the Treasury during the
present week.
Government bonds were dun, but the transactions
at the Boards amounted to SOL 900. Prices were

CHARLES DICKENS As A DRAMATTST

Mr. Richard Heme Shepherd, an industrious
seeker after the curious the forgotten in ter;,-
tnre-including poems suppressed which their au-
thors would like 10 have forgottcn-is at work upon
u two-volume edition of Z" The Dramatic aud PoetI-
cal Writings of Charles Dickens. These pieces
never before collected, arc says The Academy pre-
faced by a monograph Charles Dickeus as q
dramatist and as actor. The dramatic pieces are
five in number. OF these, three, The Strange Gen
tleman,' The Village Coquettes' Is She his Wife
or Something Singular produced with consid-
cradle success in lS36-37 at the ST. Jarnes's Thea
tire under Brahara's management. The third of
these pieces was apparently unknown to Mr. Fors-
ter who makes mention of it in his Life of Dick
ems The fourth piece, entitled The Lamphgh
was written in 1888 for Macready's heatre but
was never acted printed at the time and is pre-
served in MS. in the Forster Collection at South
kensington. The fifth is Mr. Nigh ingale's Diary
written conformity by Charles Dickens and Mark
Lemon, and acted by the Guild of Literature and
Art. The poetical pieces, with which the second
volume closes include the prologue TO Mr. Westland
Marstons play of The Patrician's Daughter, The
Hymn OF the Wiltshire Laborcrs' A Word in Sea-
SON. and number of squibs contributed TO The Er
