The mystery surrounding the disap-
pesrance Of Mary Churchill, daughter of a
wealthy St. Louis merchant, has--,been
solved by the complete Identification of the
missing girl In Indianapolis, after frllitless
search Of three months by detectives all over
the land. DR.. Fletcher, Of the insane hos
pital, was struck with the description of the
missing girl to the remarkable closeness with
which it answered the appearance Of do
nestle in the laundry department, and at
once notified the authorities, who, accom-
panied by Thomas j. Gallagher, Sof the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, called at the asylum
and identified the girl. She gives no reason
for her sudden disappearance. She left the
city Sunday night In company, with her
father, to pay brief visit to her mother,
but declares that she can make her own liv-
ing, and informed DR.. Fletcher that she
would report for duty in few days.

WASHINGTON.

Hon. John G. New has reconsidered
his determination to resign the position of
assistant secretary Of the treasury.
II is stated that the president has de-
cided to sustain the action of Postmaster
General Gresham in the New Orleans ma
ional bank case. The decision of the presi-
| dent is In answer to the petition of large
number of merchants.
The secretary of the interior has sus-
tanned the commissioner of Indian affairs in
his decision to the effect that the department
does not recognize courts in Indian territory
| section 2,103, revised statutes, which re-
quires that certain agreements made with
Indians shall be executed before the Judge
of a court of record. The secretary holds
it was not the intention of the w-makers
that agreements should be executed before
judges not having such limited knowledge of
the laws and treaties affecting the rights of
Indians, and such limited general infarma-
ton as judges of Indian courts within the
Indian country usually possess.
The statistics of the universal postal
union for 1881 Shows that the United States
ranks first in the number of postoffices, and

Great Britain ranks first, and the United
States next. In the number of newspapers
conveyed, the United States ranks first,
with Germany second.
The annual report of the paymaster
general of the army to the secretary of war
shows receipts for the fiscal year of $15,-
400, 80, disbursements, SIS, 3S2, 1874. The
remainder was deposited in the treasury.
Since the last report five officers of the pay
department have retired, having attained
the age of Ga, one died and one was dismiss
missed for misappropriation of public
funds.
The annual report of the commission
er Of revenue was submitted. By the con-
solidation of collection districts an annual
saving to the government of S125. 900 was Sc
cured. The aggregate receipts this year are
estimated at $12O, OOO,O 900. During the first
three months of the current fiscal year the
revenues decreased 81, 926, 401. AS large
number of those engaged in illicit distilling
are DESTROYS of abandoning the unlawful
practices, the commissioner has been urged
to recommend a general proclamation
of general amnesty to such per-
sons. He suggests that congress provide
shorter period Of limitation for the prosecu-
ton of Offenses against the revenue. The
question of enforcing the revenue laws in
Indian Territory has been referred to Secre-
tary Folger for action. The commissioner
recommends the withdrawal of the privilege
granted manufacturers Of vinegar of separ-
ating alcoholic property from fermented
mash and using the same in the production
of vinegar. Aside from the above the re-
port is an elaboration Of points. presented in
the commissioner letter to the secretary,
