lot of old Congressional Globes. The volumes

plete sets in the collection. To reprint LOO
sets Of the missing numbers will cost over $3.50.
600. The Public Printer suggests that II Con
gress should not determine tofll up . specified
number of sets, 1t would be well to authorize
the sale Of the odd volumes, bound and IN
bound, at public auction, as waste paper. Hi
mveSGAgaion OF the m1Cter SHOWS the reckless
ness of Congress in voting this large sum ava,
without having any clear idea Of what they wer,
about. Unless q large additional sum Is ex
pended, the collection, except two sets, il prac
tically worthless.

tiancy's counsel in regard to their alleged i'm
proper intimacy. She says Giro had threatenet
to do her an injury unless she yielded to hi
appeal for her to become his wife, and tina
when she learned that Mr.. Christiancy's coun
sci intended to institute divorce proceeding
against her upon the ground of alleged i'm
proper intimacy with Giro, she took the advicl
of friends and wrote him the series of letter
now published merely as a means (by pretend
ing to be in love with him) to avert carrying
into effect the threats which he had made i
Washington, and to induce him to give truth
full testimony for her protection. Says a cor
respondent: ''The feeling is strong here agains
Minister Christiancy, because Of the belief tina
the fellow Giro and several detectives wer
hired to go deliberately to work and manufac
ture a case against Mrs. Christiancy, and tina
the letters now printed were the result of thes
prearranged attampts to ingratiate himself int
