dispatch from Springfield, Ills, dated May
90 says: In the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, to-day before taking up the order of the
day the committee on correspondence made
Its report in reply to dispatch received from
the General Assembly in session at Atlanta,
Ga. A minority report was also submitted
differing but slightly in wording and scope.
Half an hour was occupied on the reportwhen
the order Of the day was again dispensed with
for another half hour. At the end of that time
tho discussion was ordered to be continued
until 1t should be disposed OF, and finally re-
ply-was agreed to in the following form SUBJ
stantially as reported by a majority of the
committee: The moderator is instructed to
telegraph to the moderator OF the General AS
sembly in session at Atlanta, Ca, that his tele-
gram is received with warm enthusiasm by
this Assembly, and in order to remove all dir-
fcultIes in the way of that full and formal
fraterpal correspondence between assemblys
which we are on our part prepared to accept,
we adopt the following, to wit: Whilo receding
from no principle, we do hereby declare our
regret for and withdrawal OF all expressions
OF our Assembly which may be regarded as
rejecting upon and offensive to the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church In the
United States, and we renew the expressions

Calling Hack and Getting a

dartford hines.
1t was just as the "nrst ones OUT were
coming down Main street, Saturday night,
from The Black Crook performance, that a
party of fellows at Main and Asylum streets
hailed a public hack from the City Hall
stand.
''Hack here, where dyer want to go?" said
the driver as he swung his team around and
shouted q loud ''Whoal'
1--WE want TO go out to -; what Will you
charge to take us out?"
Show many ofyou? What Five OF you? I'll
take i've out for four dollars"
81 guess not; four dollars to carry 1--WE out
there" replied the spokesman of the party
who had proposed a ride.
swell, what's the matter with greasing your
feet and sliding outp" answered the Jehu, as
he dropped the lines on his horses and drove
back to his place on the hack stand.
1t was game of blum that this particular
hack driver dropped on so very quick, and the
players were given the laugh by good-size
audience that had gathered to hear the loud
conversation.

THE substitute for the Carlisle or
House Whisky bill reported yesterday from
the Senate Finance Committee is nothing
but modified form of the original job;
like the historical colored person who, fail
ing to get into the henroost, solaced himself
with the turkeys that roasted on the neigh
boring fence. The principle is unchanged.
That is to say, the substitute which has
been reported embodies a subsidy from the
Government to the distillers in the form of
q loan, the only change being in the length
of time the loan is to run.
1t is, in fact, by no means certain that
the substitute would not serve the purposes
of the Ring quite as well in the end as the
original bill. 1t is drawn with much invo-
luton, and the substituted clauses confer
enormous discretionary power upon the
revenue officers, through whom the Ring
no doubt, expects to accomplish all the re-
suits that they had in view in the Carlisle
bill.
Thus it is observed that the substitute is
simply dodge, letting-go by the Ring
bulldog to get a better hold. 1t won't do
The whole theory upon which the Whisky
men and their attorneys in the House and
Senate are working is iniquitous and their
scheme must fail, disguise it as they may.
The Government cannot deal with any
taxed industry on basis of either partner
ship or credit. There is no good reason
whya Whisky owner should be permitted
to carry his stock untaxed during the
period Of its most rapid rise in value.
There may be good reasons why the tax
should be bodily reduced. We would be
glad to support with all our might meas
ure reducing the tax on Whisky to fifty
cents per proof gallon, and placing that on
tobacco on an ad valorem basis-if that
could be done. That is the proper way to
go to work. But to ask the Government to
loan individuals the amount Of certain
tax for certain period is as untenable in
theory as 1t would be vicious in practice.
What the Whisky Ring ought to do is, dis.
band its "inside lobby" settle with its
Congressional attorneys in full aud then 20
before the country on square proposition
to reduce the tax That would succeed
But unfortunately that is just what the
Ring doesn't want. What the Ring want
is subsidy. And that is what it viii
never get.

probably set this down as an evidence OF the

he would read the lesson wrongly. New York
would give evidence OF new vigOr, and not of
degeneracy, II she would impeach one OF her

THE HON. JOHN SHERMAN, "trustee,'
&C." purchased the Stone farm at the cost
of scents per foot. He then wrote
letter to the satraps of Four-and- a-half
street, suggesting that Fourteenth street
should be widened before the plats ,cero made
of the portion he proposed to sell. Where
upon the satraps ordered the plats of the
Hon. Johns farm made.
When the survey was completed, as he
requested, and the advertisement made,
the Hon. John, trustee, &c., comes:to the
front and protests against using his "pri-
vate property for public use without ade-
quate compensation" and offers it at 10
cents foot. The satraps agree to pay the
money and ask Congress to tax the citizens
of Washington for that purpose. Secretary
Folger objects, and thinks the Hon. John,
"trustee, &c." should be satisfied to have
his property improved at public cost with
out making the public pay for the prop
erty.
The House refuses to pay tho 10 cents
per foot, and the Senate (of which the
Hon. John, trustee, &c." is member)
calls for information, which is furnished in
Mis- Doc. 81" where the facts above stated
can be seen. With this document are two
maps of the Stone farm, showing the same
from Fourteenth street to Sherman avenue,
and On the map an advertisement of the
real estate firm which has the property for
sale.

THE London Standard of the 9th instant
quotes coal at from 1915 to S4.12 per ton.
Mr.. Vanderpool says with coal at s., gas
ouly costs 3s cents per thousand. In Lon
don, with coal at 81, gas is sold at SO cents
and dividend of 12 per cent. cleared. In
Washington, where coal only costs the mo-
nopoly from So to $3.50, gas is sold at 50 per
thousand and then claims to have averaged
only 16 per cent, because they have to give
away SO much gas and so many drop
lights" Are Congressman really afraid to
have the Gas Company's books investigated?

II dynamite balls were planted under
q Washington street crossing, at first no
one knowing the fact wonld go over the
ground; but should they remain there
for % week, the Old way would be re-
sumed by the people. Familiarity not
only breeds contempt in the social world,
but people living constantly on the verge
of danger, In time, come to regard 1t
with carelessness. The human race has
always fought shy of the destructive
forces of nature and art at fast, but
familiarity with them has reduced the
fears. The New York Sun says: "When
kerosene was introduced, there were
many fears in regard to its use, on ac-
count Of its LIABILITY to explode under
certain conditions, and particularly when
considerable quantity of 1t ignited
through the medium of it's yapor brought
into contact with fire. Yet in few
years thousands of people were using
this feared agent even for kindling fires,
and every day there Is fresh story of q
house or q woman or child burned up
from this careless practice. Precisely so
it has been with dynamite, which at first
was regarded with terror from its destruc-
tive power. Yet the other day, in New
York, house was blown to pieces 10y
dynamite cartridges hung on stovepipe
to warm, and in Pennsylvania miner
put can of dynamite on his cook stove
to dry, and only fragments of himself,
his wife, and four children, and splinters
of his house remained to hold an inquest
over. 1t is the old case of contempt of
danger bred by familiarity with it; but
since the lives and possessions of great
many people are imperiled by the habit
which near neighbor may have of keep
ing dynamite cartridges in his house
and warming them on his stove, the laws
relating to this and similar explosives
seem to need revision.

American and European Girls.

In Europe every girl learns cooking as
an art, and that part of her education is
as essential as that of reading or writing.
Every restaurant and hotel has number
of these volunteers, who pay for the
privilege of learning under the tuition Of
chef, in addition to which they do
work around the kitchen. No matter
how rich a man is, his daughters must
learn in this manner, so that they can
supervise the household and learn to
cook well and economically. This
custom has been imported to this coun-
try in q different form, and is now per-
meating the East In the shape of schools
of cookery. In Europe the girls are also
taught cookery in the schools, and the
consequence Is that they are wives in
fact as well as in name. When girls in
this country stop looking down on
housewifery as dishonorable, and begin
to learn cooking as an art, they will all
pass out of the state of single blessed
ness, but until that time the crop of old
maids will continue to increase alarm
ingly. The oft-heard remark that two
can live as cheaply as one, is rank non
sense. Any young man can live like q
fighting cock, dress well and smoke the
best cigars on 81 900 per year. He can
not marry on 81 800 and do the same. u
