New York, Feb. 15.--A rumor prevails
IN business circles that Grant will shot
" resign the presidency OF the worlds
falr comnission, on the ground that ot!l-
er and more important duties demand
his attention. Grant is not at all satis-
fed with the small amonnt of snGscrip

holders OF the Philadelphia exposition
where it was determined ts close up and
sell out the concern, Mr.. Stevenson
said he represented syndicate which
authorized him to offer s150,0OO for the
exposition building. The Commercial
Bulletin says: Possibly the building
might be utilized by the international
commission managing the worlds fair
business, but candor compels one to say
that SO little has been heard of late
as to the plans Of these gentlemen
thot it is a question whether they have
bestowed passing thought on what is
going Oh in Philadelphia.

Anecdote of Washington and jefferson

( A Cleveland correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune sends that paper the
following extract from letter by the
late Francis Lieber:
An incident Of more than usual in
terest occurred to-day, just after the
class in constitutional law was dismiss
ed, at the university. l had been lee
turing upon the advantages Of the BIZ
cameral system, had dismissed the
class, and was about to leave the room
when a young man, whom | knew had
taken instructions under Laboulaye, in
Paris, approached me and said that
what | had urged with regard to that
bi-cameral system reminded him of a
story which he had heard Laboulaye
relate. was interested, of course,
and, as the class gathered around, he
proceeded with the following: Labou-
laye said, in one of his lectures, that
Jefferson, who had become so complete
ly imbued with French ideas as even
to admit the uni-cameral system of leg
islation, one day visited Washington at
Mt. Vernon, and in the course Of the
conversation that ensued, the compara-
tive excellence Of the two systems came
up for consideration. After consider
able had been said on both sides, final.
", at the tea table, Washington, turn
ing sharply TO Jefferson, said:
you, sir, have just demonstrated
the superior excellence of the bi-cam-
eral system, by your own hand"
Il How is that?' said Jefferson
not a little surprised.
"You have poured your tea from
cup out into the saucer to cool. We
want the bi-cameral system to cool
things. \ measure originates in one
house, and in heat is passed. The
other house will serve as wonderful
cooler; and by the time it is debated
and modified by various amendments
there, it is much more likely to be.
come an equitable law. No, we can't
get along without the saucer in our
system
Jefferson, of course, saw that point
had been made against his argument ;
but whether he was frank enough TO
say so, the story teller did not relate.
