From evidence before the [. ). Grand

box. The work was bungled, as according
TO the numbers. four Of Lenan's relatives

have made atfi layit that they voted for Le-

In case these taxes shall be abolished
revenues that will still remain to the Govern
ment will, in my opinion, not only suffice to
meet It's reasonable expenditures but will
afford a surplus large enough TO permit such
tariff reduction as may seem TO be advisable
when the results of the recent revenue laws
and commercial treaties shall have shown in
what quarters these reductions can be most
Judiciously effected
For the encouragement Of the shipbuild-
ing interests aud the upbIilding of for
eign commerce the President pointedy en-
dorses the recommendation made by the
Secretary Of the Treasury that ''the govern
ment shall pay literally for mail transpor,a-
ton, or otherwise lend its active assistance
to individual enterprise" believing that
without some such encouragement our for
eign carrying trade must largely remain in
the hands of foreigners.
A summary Of the reports OF the Secre-
tary of War and Secretary of the Navy are
given.
"The report of the Secretary Of the Navy
exhibits the progress which has been made on
the new steel cruisers, authorized by acts of
August ). 1882, and March 8, 1888. OF four
vessels under contract, one, the Chicago, Of
four hundred aud fifty tons, is more than
half finished. The Atlanta, If three thous-
and tons, has been launched, and her ma
chinery is now fitting. The Boston, also of
three thousand tons, is ready for launching.
and the Dolphin, a dispatch steamer of If
teen hundred tons, is ready for delivery.
Certain adverse criticisms upon the de-
signs of these cruisers, are discussed by the
Secretary who insists that the correctness of
the conclusions reached by the Advisory
Board and by the Department, have been
demonstrated by recent developments in
ship building abroad The machinery of the
double-turreted monitors Puritan Terror
and Amphitrite, con: racted for under the
act of March 8, 1888, is in process Of con-
struction. No work has been done during
the past year on their arnor for lack Of the
necessary appropriations.

Writing With Both Hands,

A gentleman who knew General
Garfield tells this story: 1--WE were sit
ting in the office of the. Secretary of
the Navy, waiting to be heard on some
matter of routine business, when
Garfield took his seat at a vacant
desk near by and commenced writing
with both hands upon scrat eh-rals on
either side of him. He. seemed to
write with one hand as freely as with
with the other. The only difference
was that the lines On the tablet written
with the left hand were reversed from
the usual order. The consequence was
that the writing on the left hand tab
let could not be read except by an ex-
pert, or by holding itup to u light or
before q mirror. | looked at the one
written with the left hand on its upper
side, and while the lines seemed re-
markedly uniform, they conveyed no
meaning, but, holding the thin paper
up to the light, l saw not only that the
words written were the same as those
on the tablet written with the right
hand, but that every popularity in the
formation of letter which was found
on the right-hand tablet was exactly
reproduced on the left hand. The
achievement was marvel to me, as l
had never heard of it before, although
| have since heard that many people
do it. Garfield said that he often
wrote that way whenever he wished to
preserve an exact copy of what he was
writing without having copy made
by letter-press.'

An Enterprising Japanese.

T. A. Matslaire, the City Engineer
of Bradford, Penn, is a natiye'of Japan
and the first man of his nationality to
be chosen to civil Office in the United
States. He is the son of wealthy
japanese nobleman and came to this
country in 1870 to be educated, not at
the expense of his government, but at
the individual expense of his father,
who planned to have his son return
home and be appointed to high posi-
ton under the Japanese government.
Upon being graduated he asked con-
sent to remain Il few years longer to
practise civil engineering. His father
replied that unless he came home on
the next steamer his allowance would
cease, and he need expect no more help
from him. The son replied that he
would stay, and the father became
angry and wrote to his japanese
friends to have nothing to do with the
young man. He stayed and practised
his profession, acting for some time as
assistant engineer of the Manhattan
Elevated Railroad company in this
city, and afterward for three years as
chief engineer of the Union Pacific
Railroad in Wyoming, Idaho, and
Montana. -NesD York Observer.

The giant bowls of Orholm, on tho
east side of Christiana Ford, have been
described by Herr Geelmuydcn. These
curious geological formations are the
largest of their kind in Scandinavia. In
two of these depressions few pines and
birchcs grow in tolerably natural way
until their tops reach the level of the
rock, above which the branches arc
twisted Enthusiastically by the force of the
wind.
A clock at Brussels has been going for
nine months, and has not required to be
wound up since it was first set going. In
fact, the sun does the winding OF this
time piece. A shaft exposed to the sun
causes an up-draft of air, which sets a
fan in motion. The fan actuates mechan-
ism which raises the weight of the clock
until it reaches the top and then puts on
q break on the fan until the weight has
gone down little, when the fan Is again
liberated, and proceeds to act as before.

An 0ld.Tima F0rger.

He did everything for himself, made
his own paper, with the proper water
mark, engraved his own plates and man
ufactured his own ink. His method of
negotiating the forged notes was most
artful. He had three homes. At one
he was Price, properly married; at a
second he lived under another name,
with woman who helped him in his
schemes; at third he did the actual
business of passing his notes. This bust
ness was always effected in disguise;
none of his agents or instruments saw
him, except in disguise, and when his
work was over he put it off to return
home. Certainly the audacious clever
ness of Price has not been surpassed,
even in one time. Once he pretended,
in one disguise, to expose swindler
(himself in another disguisc) whom a
respectable city merchant inveigled into
his housf, to give him UP to the police.
The swindler proposed to buy min off
for $500, the offer was accepted, the
money paid by thousand pound note,
for which the swindler got change. The
note, of course, was forged. Ultimately
the law fastened its grip on Old Patch,
and he was lodged in Newgate, where
in despair he hanged himself His plum
der came to the enormous total of e200,-
900; but how he disposed of his ill-got-
ten gains, seeing that he always lived
obscurcly, and neither gambeled nor
drank, remained an inscrutabe secret
