Bond Calls and the Gold Reserve.

DOhu SstlS anu tHC GOIu 0cStfNCa
The failure of the Secretary of the
Treasury to make bond call on the 1st
Of April has occasioned some comment.
As he has been making calls about once
in six weeks for year or more call was
expected on the LIST of this month. The
Secretary has not furnished any rea-
son why he did not make call as eX-
pected. 1t is said. however, that he was
Influenced by two reasons: One was that
the bonds that would have come
within the call were largely held
by banks. as a basis for circulation,
and that the Secretary did not want to
disturb the banks while legislation look
ing to their relief was pending. The other
reason was that the practice is to pay
gold for bonds, although the law now is
that bonds may be paid for in either gold
or silver. There has been such a large
expectation Of gold to Europe lately that
the Secretary does not think it advisable
10 pay out any more than is absolutely
necessary at present. Gold is being
paid out at the rate Of $250,000 a day. Up
to April 18th over 81, SOC, 900 was paid out
this month and at that date the reserve
was about 100000 less than twas when
AT the highest point in March. Under the
law gold certificates cannot be
issued when the reserve falls below
Sl00,00O,0 900. The amount is a good deal
more than that at present. These two rea-
sons may not be the ones that Influenced
the Secretary not to make bond call
ON the 1st of April, but it is thought pro-
bable that they are. The amount Of gold
certificates outstanding on the 18th OF
April was $6G, $50, 200, and the net amount
of gold in reserve was $141,000.000.

The proceedings before the Senate sub
Committee on Privileges and Elections
were quite lively yesterday. The efforts
of John 5. Wise and Sims to bulldoze
Senator Vance was an ignOminiOns fail
ure. s.Old Zeb7 lost his temper and used
an ugly word or two, while Senator Sher-
man called a halt, in order to ger time to
compose his nerves and devise some plan
to shield his pet, who was the real cause
of the Danyille riot. Undoubtedly Sher-
mans great moral show created a sensa-
ton yesterday.
1t is said that David Davis wants Secre-
tary Lincoln to come out in an open letter
announcing that he is not a candidate for
the Presidency. This is rather queer adj
vice from man who spent a good part of
his political career on the fence. Lincoln
is on the fence now, so far as the Chicago
nomination is concerned. He says that
he is not a candidate, and that he could
not remain in Arthur's Cabinet if he were,
but notwithstanding this his name was
used in the Chicago primaries against
Senator Logan.

The recent mysterious burning Of a
large tenement house in New York has
caused a revival of the question Of the
danger connected with steam pipes used
for heating purposes. 1t is asserted that
there is no case on record where the orr
gin of a fire has been traced directly to
such a source. The popularity of the
steam heating system among insurance
companies is evidence of its safety. Steam
jets are urgently recommended as auseful
auxiliary in subduing fires.

ChandIer,s Partial Success.

Secretary Chandler succeeded in get
ting the Senate to vote an appropriation
for several new cruisers. His success,
however, will not be permanent. There
Is not the least probability that the House
will agree to the amendment, which the
Senate tackled on to the naval apprOpria-
ton bill, providing for these cruisers. 1t is
questionable whether the amendment. I'M
der the rules Of the Senate, could properly
be made TO the bill, but Mr.. Edmunds,
the President of the Senate, ruled that it
could. Mr.. Randall, the Chairman of the
House Appropriation Committee, declared
i'm the beginning of the session that his
committee would not consent to an APP
preparation for new cruisers. 1t is not
probable that he Will reconsider his de
termination, and it is about certain that
| the House will sustain him in the stand
he has taken. What Chandler and his
Senatorial friends are preparing for is a
conference committee, by means of which
they hope to accomplish their purpose.
/ 1t remains TO he seen whether the Senate
/ can bulldoze the House into abandoning
the wise and safe position it has assumed.
| There are two reasons for not making APP
preparations for additional new cruisers
at present. One is that it is not certain
/ that those now being constructed will
| prove to be successful. The plans upon
which they are being built have been
severely criticised by competent engineers
in this country and Europe. 1t will be
| soon enough TO vote millions for other
| cruisers when it appears that those
/ already ordered are not failures. The
/ other reason for not voting more money
| for cruisers at present is the lack of conf
| dence in the integrity of Mr.. Chandler.
| 1t is feared that he is a silent partner of
John Roach the shipbuilder. The ease
| with which Roach gObbled the contracts
/ for all the cruisers ordered by the Forty
| seventh Congress affords some foundation
| for this fear. navy Is needed, but no
/ great harm will come from little delay.
! Mrs. General Grant keeps pretty well in
/ the background these days. Once in a
/ while, however, she says something that
/ brings her to the front. In Washington
/ day or two ago she said that she was glad
/ that the General was not nominated at
! Chicago in 1880. Being asked her reason,
she said: "Oh, if he had been nominated and
/ elected he might have been assassinated
/ by some crank like the one who killed
/ poor Gen. Garfield. 1t is so disreputable
to be put out of life by a crank. To die
for sweet revenge is one thing, but to be
snuffed out by worthless crank is posi-
! lively ignoble."
1t must be admitted that to be snuffed
/ out by a worthless crank is not a very de-
sirable way to shuttle off the mortal coil.

Evolution or the Turtle.

IDcnsSh NAt hPh-l
Moreover, the turtle which, In the usual
forms, is unable TO see the world except by
telescoping his mead out horizontally, and
running the risk Of scraping his forehead
against his shell every time he does 80, ac-
quires from more ~elevatinR conditions OF life
the absence of enemies and the possession
Of n strong carnivorous set of teeth OF his own
"a long neck, which Is not retraotile. Put
ting out his head one day, 1t occurred to an
e~nterprising turtle that he might as well keep
1t out. Nothing came near him to bite 1t Off
no danger threatened. So he went about
with his neck out. By and by, IL occurred to
him to bully a little lizard that passed him,
and tho lizard ran away. So, after that, in
stead Of running away from lizards himself,
he always ran after them, and, when he
caught them, ate them.
By this date he had got up so proud and
stiff necked that he never thought OF pulling
his head inside his shell ut all, and az a fact
could not lave done 1t II he had wanted to.
For 1t had become permanently stifensd from
disuse. Even when he went to sleep he
curled his head round IN his shoulder, instead
OF putting it under his shell. But all this
while there was a little plate OF shell protrud-
ing over the back of his neck, which pre-.
vented him holding his head up strnight, and
this was so inconvenient, especially whom
things that he wanted to catch ran up out Of
his reach, that he determined to do without
it-and he did. Or at any rate his p~osterit Y
did, and so we find turtles that can hold
their heads up like snakes and can not tele-
scope them, while sometimes are the old
conservative, stick-in-ths-mud turtles-stilI
go on tucking their heads under their shells
every time n bird flies over them or they hear
a sudden splash In the water, and this is all
because their ancestors were not enterprising
and carnivorous, In all Of which there is a

A FEW weeks & seven girls en-
ployed at a sugar factory in Balta, near
Odessa, in Russia, left that town in the
evening to return to their native vii
lage, at some distance. The girls, be-
lated on the way, resolved to pass the
night in the fields and proceed at day
break. They had located themselves
near a haystack in a field adjoining the
highway, and, having some slight fears
OF robbery, placed their united weeks
earnings in the hands Of one Of their
number for greater safety. The unfor-
tunate girls were all fast asleep, when
they were attacked by a number Of
young men. The girl who had secreted
the money in her dress had taken the
precaution to cover herself with hay.
The m~iscreants, finding no money on
the persons of the other six girls, muir
dered them in cold blood. They then
fired the stack, and in the coniagration
and smoke the surviving and terrified
girl effected her escape and reached the
village in safety. An alarm was given
and the murderous band were all ar
rested. The survivor had recognized
the murderers, who were all employed
in the same factory as their victims.
