WHEN Marshal Henry was in the De.
paHment Of Justice, on the I'd Of June
lust, to be raked over the GOALS by the At.
.orney General for allowing improper men
10 get on the jury, he did not suspect that
verbatim report Of that interview would
some day be given to the public. And the
fact that the whole thing has been given to
the world will make uncomfortable some
other people who have had talks with the
Attorney General in his Office. Since that
high official has himself let the cat out OF
the bag it will do no warm to say that
when he is about to talk with visitor on
business Of Importance he gives the cue to
his shorthand writer. The visitor doesn't
know but the writer is merely clerk,
plodding away at bis work, paying no at
iention 10 the conversation. But he is one
oil the best in the business, and he jots
down every word. It is a hard thing for a
man to wriggle out Of what he has said
when third party can point to it on paper,
taken down as it wGs uttered, and will
swear 10 ii il necessary. There is good
deal more than ruales under tho Attorney

WASHINGTON, November 30.-For sever
al weeks past prominent Republican men,
bers Of the Senate and House have been IN
conference by mail and in person with the
President, Secretary oi the Treasury and
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue, in re-
venue, in relation to reduction Of inter
nal revenue taxes at the approaching ses-
sion OF Congress-. The President, it is said,
will recommend in his message the general
conclusion arrived at from this interchange
Of opinion. The plan proposed is q reduc.
ton OF tho taxation on whisky to sixty cents
or fifty centsperga gallon; ofthetax on tobacco
to eight cents per pound, or cigars to four
dollars and three dollars per thousand
on beer to nfty cents per barrel net, and q
reduction OF 90 per cent. on all special Ii
cense taxes. Al other internal taxcs are
to be abolished, This SCALING would leave
IN income from internal taxation OF about
$50, 100000, not including in the, estimate
the increased consumption which would
follow reduced taxation. The reduction
would amount to about so, ,000,N0O. What
is known as the internal revenue billin the
Senate is first on the calendar. A caucus
OF Republican Senators will be called ut

the culture and propagation Of the ostrich
was read by Nh. Scetchley. OF London, be-
fore the Farmers club to-day. Mr.. Scotch.
ley is the owner Of the ostrlchea now in
Central park. E4e said It was a very easy
matter to raise ostriches. They are very.
healthy, and few diseases are known to
exist among them. The mortality among
them is only 10 per cent and they live to
the age Of 50 or 100 years. The older thew
grow, the better they lay and breed 4 full
grown ostriGh lg from four to iouuy and q
half feet in height, but the birds can ex-
tend the beak to eleven feet above tho
ground. Theproiits derived from one pair OF
birds, valued Mt $1,000, were in four years
SCI, 500. The value OF feathers in forr
years vas a|3,0pp. Each blld lays ifom
iorty to ninety eggs year. Ostriches be.
gin to breed at the age OF six years, and
continue to the age of eighty. The young
birds are first plucked. when six months q

SimmU'S Thanksgiving Aermon.

WASHINGTON, November 3O.-Mr. MIN.
mo, Chief Of the Bureau Statistics, in giving
clergymen some facts for a Thanks-
giving sermon writes: 1.-THE corn
crop thls year is estimated
at loS,000,00O bushels against 109, ,4lG, 900
IN 1851. The latest estimate OF the wheat
crop OF the SEASON ot 1852 is 100000, 900
bushels, as against $50, ,2SO,O0O in 1851. The
value OF domestic exports for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1852, was S733, ,2239, ,732
as against $SS2,g25,947. during 1881,
falling OIL Of y Sl5O,05S,2l5.
This is due almost entirely to the failure Of
the crops OF the country during the season
Of 1881. The results attributed to draughth
and other unfavorable meteorological ill.,
i!lences which prevailed so extensively
throughout the country during that season.

MRS. GARFIELD'S NEW HOUSE,

The Unjust Aspersioi,H or Persons Who
! Are Not Acquainted with Facts.
WASHINGTON, November .3O.-The fair
now in progress for the benefit OF the Gar
field monument fund has set ailoat again
the criticisms upon Mrs. Garfeld's recent
purchase OF a $4,000 house in Cleveland,
Ohio. There are those who condemn her
OF 80 large a sum to this pur-
pose, and attribute to her vanity and
desire for display wholly inconsistent with
her previous record: A personal friend Of
Mrs. Garfield said to correspondent YES.
terday that nothing could be more cruelty
unjust than such Interpretation Of her re-
cent negotiations in real estate. "The facts
arc these" said. her friend. "The house
and grounds which she has selected are
regarded by her business advisors as mar
ketabe property liable to enhance
in value. Mentor is the home
OF her heart, where she hopes in the
coming years to make her abiding place,
and TO which her children cling with ten
aclous love. For the next five or six years.
however, she must live where her three
younger children can have educational
opportunities. The public will bear in
mind the iact that Mrs. Garfield, during
the past twe!v months, has been weighed
down with the responsibility Of discreetly
adjusting her fatherless family to home
that should secure to them requisite ad.
vantagea. While she would hive gladly
clustered her widowed life in the dear
Mentor home, for her children 8 sake she
must lor hegreater part Of the year reside
IN town. L goes without saying that
she should depend largely upon the
advice OF friends in business arrangements,
and that when an eligible home WINS re.
commended to her, with extra induce
ments of carpets and furniture fitted to
their places, she should gladly ayail herself
Of her opportunities. Willie there may be
differences Of opinion as to the business
sagacity OF her counsellors. there should be
no criticism Of the modest, ,luassuming,
Sad: hearted woman, who, in the Judgment
ol those who know her most intimately, is
no lees heroine to-day than she was when
at the bedside Of her martyred husband"

LIEUTENANT Cnlpp's REPORT,
The Valuable Observations Of the Exec,

'rhe Valuable observations Of the Execu.
tive officer Oflhe J Jeannetic Not LOx:.
WASHINGTON, November 3O.-In the
telegrams and letters relating to the loss OF
the Jeanette, which were received from
Northeastern Siberia, In the course Of last
winter and spring, it was several times
stated as II fact greatly to be regretted, that
ail the records Of the careful and complete
series Of fauroral and magnetic observations,
two thousand or more i'll number. made by
Lieutenant Charles W. Chip, executive
officer Of the Jeannette during TINT i'll.
fated steamers long drift in the Arctic
pack, had been irretrievably lost. The de.
struction Of these records was greatly de.
plored by scientific men everywhere, for the
reason that SO complete and continuous
series as this Of magnetic observations 1iaA
never before been made in the part oi the
polar area across which the Jcannette
dritted, and would probably never be
made again. 1t was also, deeply regretted
cords Of knowledge bought with brave
mems lives, and were perhaps the only
scientific fruits Of disastrous expedition.
No details were given by. the dispatches
and letters above referred to Of the way in
which these records were lost; but it was
supposed that they were in the possession
Of their author, Lieutenant Chipp, and that
they sank with him into the Artic ocean
when the second cutter ioundered of the
month Of the Lepe. II was ascertained to.
day, and is stated upon the authority Of
Engineer Melville, that complete copy of
Lieutenant Chips auroral hnd magnetic
observations has been found among the
official papers Of Captain DeLong; that it is
now in the custody OF the Secretary OF the
Navy, and that it will be published in full
as part Of the final report Of the Jeannette
court ofinquIry.
It appears that copy Of the record Of
every day's magnetic observations was sub
mitted by Lieutenant Chipp over his sig-
nature 10 Captain Dc Long, to be incor-
pornted with the official papers Of the J Jean-
nette expedition. The original notes Of
the observations Lieutenant Chipp retained
in his own possession, and it j. supposed
they were lost with him. The copy, how
ever, was among the records and papers
found by Engineer Melville at the place
where Captain De Long and his comrades
died, and it is now in the hands Of secre-
tary Chandler. 1t comprises records Of
between two and three Thousand observa-
tions. ~. Y. a. q NJ s.t

ANOTHER solemn warning comes from
Cincinnati that the William Tell net with
the rifle isnot safe diversion. Frayne is
not the first alleged actor who has taken
life before the footlights. lie was arrested
very promptly after bis victim breathed

before he stepped on the stage with
his rifle. The feat which he was attempt-

act is reformed. Life is placed in jeopardy
without the shadow OF compromising
