For some time past the firm of j. L. Brack-
EFT & Co. has been missing trunks and travel
ling banks from their factory, No. 265 Middle
street. The police have been upon The watch,
and Monday night officer Pickett solved the
mystery. Watching the rear entrance to the
factory, which is on Federal street, at a
late hour they saw Frederick lH. Webster, an
employee of Brackett 81 Co., come along the
street and take up the cover of the coal hole
and disappear down the hole. His way of do
ing business was to go down the coal hole into
the cellar, and from thence up to the store
where he unlocked the back door, opening in
to Federal street, in which the key was always
left In the lock on the inside and there set out
what trunks he could carry away.
When he issued from the hole the police
asked him what he was doing there. He ex-
planned that one of the workmen was in the
shop in drunken sleep, and he had been in to
see to him. The police let him go knowing
they could get him when wanted. Yesterday
forenoon, officer Garland found and took nine
trunks and four travelling bags at Friel's on
Fore street, where Webster had sold them.
Webster was arrested and taken to the sta ton

SOOTHING SYRUP should always be used when
children are cutting teeth. 1t relieves the lit
tie sufferer at once; it produces natural. quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes as bright as button"
It is very pleasant to taste. 1t soothes the

wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best
known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising
from teething or other causes. Twenty-Five
cents a bottle.

Rctnlintory Charges,

Mr.. Calls bill to authorize the President to
impose retaliatory charges at United States
consulates introduced in the senate Saturday,
provides that when it shall satisfactorily APP
pear that consular officers of any foreign gov
ernment in the United States exact under the
authority of their governments, fees for the
verifiCation of ships maniiests, bills of lading,
or invoices of goods exported, or for any other
consular act or service necessary to the con-
duct of trade between the United States and
foreign countries in excess of those charged
by consuls of the United States, and when it
shall further appear that representations of
the oncrousness of such excessive charges
have been made to the government author.
izing it, without effect, the President is
authorized to prescribe charges on any
article or articles of merchandise coming from
such foreign country or it's colonies as shall
be equivalent to the excessive fees exacted by
its consuls in this country. Mr., Call says
that as an incidence of the eXtortions which
the bill is intended to remedy, the Spanish
consul at Key West, has, during the last two
or three years, been exacting a fee of about
so cents per head upon cattle shipped to
Cuba, which charges in the aggregate, have
amounted to an oppressive burden upon
American shippers and dealers. He thinks
the vigorous enforcement of retaliatory
measures will in short time put an end to
the eXtortions.

Burchnrd on Coin.

Mr.. Burchard, director of the mint, again
appeared by request before the house COM
mittee on coinage, weights, and measures yes
terday to reply to questions relating to coin
and certificates. In reply to Mr.. Belford he
stated that the amount of silver dollars in the
treasury is $97,530,969; total certificates,
81, ,745, 40; amount of certificates in the treas
ury, $l,306,650; certificates outstanding, $685.
43S $50; silver at the disposition of the govern
ment in excess of total certificates $24, ,7S5, 400
In reply to the question as to whether the
public credit act of 1869 brought the bonds to
par Mr.. Burchard stated that he did not
think it was due to that alone; that the
prompt annual payments of the interest and
of the amount required annually for the sink
ing fund would eventually have brought
them to par, but the passage of the
public credit act hastened the result.
The question was then asked If it
was not the general opinion of the people
that tho bonds were payable in legal ten
ders. In reply to this Mr.. Burchard stated
that he thought the people were divided in
their understanding of the matter; perhaps a
majority so understood. Mr.. Fisher asked if
the holders of the bonds did not expect when
the bonds were issued that they were to be
paid in gold, to which Mr.. Burchard replied
that undoubtedly they did expect to be paid
in gold or its equivalent, although he ad-
mitted in answer to u question of Mr.. Bel
ford's that the laws authorizing the issue of
the bonds made them payable in coin, which
included silver as well as gold

trivial things Of the world, instead of doyoting
most of their time and thoughts to higher
and holier things, to those greater blessings
which an all wise Creator had scattered
around and about them. He illustrated by u
startling incident in his own experience, tho
confession of dying unbeloyer, the vainness
