retary Window denies the rumor that
the treasury department will modify the
recent call for S20,00O,000 of bonds; SC
that they would be paid daily upon
presentation, instead of December 9th
The effect of such modification would
be to at once ease the present strin-
gency on Wall street, as it would be
possibly for nearly the whole amount
to be presented within a week. Thus

THE SILENT Attire FUNERAL.
What the MhirIigiE OF Time Brings
Around The President and General
Grant

\ Washington special to the Baiti-
more SuR says: x-PreSidentS Grant
and Hayes, who sat on one sofa 10
, themselves. were almost is much the
( objects of curiosity aS was President
/ Arthur. General Grant seems - be
/ growing Stouter and heavier and more
Sohd-looling than ever. During the
whole time occupied hy the services he
never moved muscle of his face. and
/ looked straightforward into vacancy.
! No one could tel really whether his
| thoughts were upon the sad and solemn
scene euacting under his ewes, or of
| things atar OF
Mr.. Hayes seems to I've tritie more
tiorid than when he left Washington,
| and gives evidence of feeling somewhat
the lack Of attention which appears TO
he shown him. Many persons of those
who knew Gen Gran: when he was
president have taken pains to 20 up
and speak to him, but scarcely any one
has taken the trouble to do this with
Mr.. Hayes. President Arthur, with
Secretary Blaine also sat ON Il sofa hv
| themselves diagonally opposite to the
one occupied 10y Generals Grant and
Hayes. His fine open countenanee
bore dignitied and sorrowful express
sion, which WAS made quite perccptihlc
To all, AS his eyes were not cast down
at any time, although once or twice he
shielded them with his hat His de-
meanor throughout was such as to
commend itsclfto ALL Secretary Blaine
showed most plainly the depression
u-tI.ah h.N f,AlS l., L.,
to have energy enough left III him to
take the least interest III anything, and
most of the time his head WAS resting
on his hands and his eyes were closed.
In entering and departing from the ro-
tunda the contrast between him and
President Arthur, who had his arm,
was very marked. The president, with
head and form firmly erect, lowered
several inches above the secretary of
state, whose head was buried almost in
his breast
The evident partiality of the new
president for Gen. Grant was shown 10y
hs leaving the depot i'll his company
after the departure of the funeral train,
selecting him from among dozen 9TH
crs of his companions. Ii seems Ia be
the general impression that in a short
time Gen. Grant will be in the cabinet.
Common rumor assigns the secretary
ship of state to him, but il is rGore
likely, if he goes into the cabinet ut all,
tEat 1t will be as secretary of war.
-Four Of the members of the cabinet
who now have the prospect Of retiring
to private life, will very naturally re-
gret that they did not hold on To the
positions which they held on the ith
of March. Three OF them left the SEN
ate Blaine, Window and kirkwood
where each had Il good prospect Of re-
manning for an almost indefinite pc
riod and another, Hunt, resigned n life

Claims"

his business. and told the editor of the
Reno Gazette to announce that he would
give special premium 10 the lady ex-

resemhled her The announcement
appeared among the fair notes, and
read: "ChRrles r. Bender offers a
special premium TO the lady exhibiting
baby that most resembles him. !"
Charley was out of the city for several
days, and when he came back couldn't
understand why the ladies, with whom
he had always been great favorite,
turned up their noses when they passed
him. and the matter grew absolutely
serious when a very intimate lady
friend TO whom he protfered his hand
exclaimed. Don't Sou dare to shake
hands with me, sir, you vile thing" 1t

Charley saw the typographical error,
and he is not to be blamed for hunting

Hartford Times

A couple Of Hartford gentlemen who
were of Montauk Point blue fishing on
Wednesday, say that the waves were
running high, and bluefish were plen-
ty. The waves breaking into the boat
drenched them 70 the skin, and made
them think that the spot was spiced
with danger. A short distance away
was one-armed man, alone in his
boat, and he was handling five lines,
besides keeping his boat right side up.
When fish was hooked he would hold
the tille- between his knees and haul
in the fish by winding the line round
the stump of his lost arm.
