TIIE uESING CASE.

offered $4,000 with string tied to ~ for

A. C. Hesing, and then promised to produce
proorto support his statement thattho govern
mcnt could collect that amount aud more from
llesing,wa brought up standing by the soc
rotary of the treasury Saturday. On Thursday
Michaolis telegrapbod Secretary Folgcr that
he had forwarded his proofs. On Friday he
sent another telegram, saying: "Oicial and
most important part Of my statement was not
placed in envelope. Will mail tonight"
Neither Fridays nor Saturdays mail
brought anything in the shape of a letter
from Michaelis and the suspicion which had
previously found lodgment in the official
mind that Michaels was "monkoying"
was, in a degree, confirmed. In the afternoon
tho secretary telegraphed that individual us
follows.
"rhese repeated delays and excuses do not
inspire confidence. With this week tho case
must be considered closed TO them"
There is evidently possibility that this
long pending case may be disposed of soon.

D1ore History.


The Washington Post of the twentieth
instant oracularly declares that the tariff of
1889 was q revenue tariff None of the
fathers Of the republic ever dreamed that con-
gress had authority to protect any industry
by o prohibitory duty-a duty cutting Off rev.
enue and taxing all the people for the benefit
of one or few men,"
Go TO the record. Let the Post editor ex-
anime tho "History of Congress- and the
Abridgment of Congressional Debates, by
Thomas III. Benton, and he may learn some
things yet. Those au thorites establish that
the congress of 1889, with James Madison as
its leader, fixed a duty on tobacco for the
svowed purpose of prohibition. The high
duty was urged and carried on the ground
that it would be and should be prohibito Y.
Further, against the protest of Pennsylvania,
where they wanted cheap coal for growing
iron interests, high duty was on the de-
mand of Virginia, placed on coal, to protect
the coal mines near Richmond. Daniel Web
ster too, in one of his great speeches in the
senate, cited this last fact. VIRGINIAN.

Male Descendants OF Martin Luther.

Germany is about to celebrate the fourth
centenary of Martin Luther, and tho interest
suddenly taken in his life and labors has ex-
tended to his descendants. 1t seems that
there survive in an obscure little village in
Thuringia two male descendants, whose line
age is undoubted, and who bear his name
One is carpenter in Kloster-Allendorf, and
the other is q theological student at the uni
versity of Jena. In the lapse of centuries it
would be difficult to define the exact relation
ship to the reformer, but the line is traced
direct.
In fact, this branch of the Luther family
enjoy, in consideration Of tho services of
their ancestor, a right that each man SHALL
his confirmation, receive 80 thalers, on
his apprenticeship to any trade or calling
second so thalers, and on his marriage third
sum of like amount A hundred and fifty
thalers is about equal to 922 los, and that is
the good fortune which may accrue to every
direct descendant of. Luther assuming such
descendant to be male, to be confirmed, to be
apprenticed and to be wedded.-PdU Mall Ga

General Grants Tender Heart.

Sturdy soldier as he is, Gen. Grant has a
tender corner in his heart for the young and
especially for his own relatives, and is very
thoughtful about their needs. Recently, in
going into the United States National bank
in New York, he asked its vice president to
get for him twenty English soveroigns. The
next day he came back, and as the twenty
English gold pieces were counted out to him,
drew out of vest pocket one hundred dollars
in United States treasury notes which ho
had rolled up in farmer s5yle, and paid them
over, while out of another pocket carefully
wrapped in paper he took n handsome new
Russia leather pOcketbOok, in which he de-
posted the gold, saying as he did so, 81 have

morrow. She never had hundred dollars
