The Navy Department estimates the
total expense ofthe Greedy Relief Expe-
dition at about 100000, the original es-
innate of SjOO,0OO being increased by
several expensive additions. OF the
total cost there was 100000 expended
for the Bear, $4,000 for the Thetis,
about 10000 for the stores of the three
vessels, about $4,000 for bringing the
vessels to New York and $4,000 for the
navigating and scientific implements.
The repairs to the Bear cost S35,330. to
the Thetis S3l ,lG5. The coal f6r the ex-
petition cost $4,000 and the Loeb Garry
cost about S2l 900. These figures make
a total Of less than 100000, and leave n
liberal margin for the minor expenses
not enumerated. The sale OF the yes
sells and stores will reduce the net cost of
the expedition to SjOO,OOO as originally
estimated.

THAT item reported in the telegraph
day or two ago from Harrison county,
Indiana, where a band of men, who
called themselves the Knights OF the
Hickory Switch" took II woman from
her bed at midnight and gave her n cruel
beating with hickory switches on the
suspicion that she was unchaste. The
Pharisee occupies very prominent po-
ston in this sinful world, and probably
those men have heard of that passage in
the New Testament about he who was in
nocent casting the first stone at n woman.
Those "Knights of the Hickory Switch"
are doubtless, knights whose greatest
object is to rob some hen roost, and 1t is
to be hoped that the mighty hand Of real
law will be laid upon each and every one
of them, and land them in the peniten-
tiary, where they belong.

THE Blanco Star indicator, moralizes
as follows: "Forty-seven suicides in
San Antonio within the last three years!
What fearful record. And that too in
Que of the liveliest places on Gods green
earth, where all the beautiful surround
ings would seem to win man to earth
and bid him live on forever. But oh,
who can read the human heart? who
know the burdens of sorrow or pangs of
conscience that tempts one to self-de-
struction? And the number who to-day
are fighting and struggling against the
temptation TO end their lives and there
by relieve them from their troubles the
world may never know. Some may
have the moral courage to live on and
suffer till the end shall come by natural
causes, while others will yield TO the
promptings Of diseased mind and end
their miserable existence by their own
hands"

The Times, in its defense of the West
ern Union telegraph Office against the
complaint of strangers that sign was
needed to designate it, makes the Man
ager say: 1.-The company proposes to
erect signs in addition TO the ones they
already have, as soon as more urgent
work, such as making permanent con-
nections In wires, setting up batteries,
etc, has been first attended to- He
recognizes the fact that signs are very
convenient, but thinks the erection of
them can be postponed with less injury
to the service than other matters. and
thinks that in the meantime the late
train customers can find the office with
out any very great trouble or inconven-
ienee." When it is remembered that
the Western Union is about the great
est and strongest monopoly in the coun-
try, and that million or so of dollars TO
1t has about the same relative weight as
an ordinary cart wheel dollar has to the
average citizen, is will be seen that such
an excuse is simply ridiculous, and gives
the impression that that grand monopoly
is compelled to live from hand to mouth.

STANLEY, the African explorer, has re-
turned to England and given 1t as his
opinion that General Gordon is in no
danger whatever at Khartoum. but can
go on up the Nile whenever he wants to
and return to civilization by way of the
river Congo. If Stanley is correct, then
n great deal of sympathy has been
wasted on the English General, whose
days the people Of two hemispheres
have considered as good as numbered.
II may be, though, that Stanley is talk
ing for the benefit of Prime Minister
Gladstone, whose course in regard to
Gordon has subjected him to bitter crit
icism. If the latter is safe-"has the
game in his own hands, as Stanley ex-
presses it-then great weight is lifted
from Gladstone's shoulders. The return
of Gordon to England, though, would
probably he hailed with far more graft
ilcation by the Gladstone ministry than
the bare assurance of Stanley

J. B. Ward, an accountant employed by
the city of Newark. New Jersey, TO exam
inc the various departments, has Reported
that during the twelve years ending IN 1870
City Treasurer John ". Stout, who Gleu
fortnight ago, habitually loaned city money
to contractors and others without due war
rant Of law. The accountant says ne Is IN
able at present to state the loss that the clJy
then suffered, as the books were not wen
kept, but he puts down SO 600 as not Delng
accounted for. All the money lost, II any,
has since been received from other sources
and no present difficulty exists. In the m
vestigatiOn which is still progressing, the
developments show carelessness and prob
ably fraud on the part Of Stout, but they 90
not affect the present condition OF the CITY
finances.
Minnie Palmer, the actress, has sued
Richard K. Fox, of the Police Gazette, Tor
libel claiming $4,000 damages. She
charges that several GbelOus articles were
published in the Police Gazette, in which
her relations with her manager, John
r. Rogers, were miErepresented, ana
that the article reflected seriously upon her
character and reputation in every respect
possible. The case came up before Judge
Truax in the Superior Court of New York
City. Fox put in an answer, in which ne
acknowledges the publication Ofthe alleged
libel, but claims that it was published for
the purpose of advertising her charts.

ers promised his client that if he would
publish a portrait of Miss Palmer and
give her a favorable notice in his paper
that the case would not be pressed. The
counsel for Miss Palmer denied the state

affidavit to that effect.
The federation of Trade and Labor I'm
ions, consisting of representatives from va
riOus labor organizations of the United
States and Canada has been in session at
Chicago. P. II. NcLOgan, called the
meeting 10 order, and the address of vel
come was delivered by City Attorney Grin
nell, on behalf of the city, in the absence
of the Mayor. The object of this annual
assembly is to discuss the questions at issue
between capital and labor, and to dissem-
mate such views among the organized
working people of the country as will Sc
cure recognition for them. The delegates
number fifty, and claim tO represent nearly
a million Of wage workers. Politics will
FORM no part of their deliberations, al
though it is probable there will be some
discussion concerning the tariff. The
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel workers was formerly represented in
the federation, but withdrew, owing to the
refusal of the latter to retain in its declara-
ton of principles a high tariff plank.

Cuban Smokers.
New YORK Commercial Advertiser.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
A Cuban generally manages to smoke
four or five cigars and two packages of
cigarettes in the course of a day. There
are nineteen cigarettes in each package,
and two cigarettes contain more nicotine
than the ordinary cigar, The women
and children smoke almost as much as
the men. In Havana the cigars most
affected are Jet black, and so strong that
they can only be smoked with comfort
after a hearty meal. If an American,
unaccustomed to this kind of cigar,
should attempt to smoke one on an
empty stomach, he would probably feel
its effect in strained nerves and a dizzy
brain
