WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE acting
Secretary OF ,he Treasury has called on
the At torney General for an opinion in re-
gard to the appropriation made by Con-
gress for the payment Of certain claims
against the New Orleans Exposition. The
question is as to what disposition shall be
m ade of the balance of the appropriation
which Will remain after all the preferred
claims shall have been paid. IL is esti-
mated that there will be a balance of
about 100000. The managers of the ex-
position to-day submitted an argument to
the Attorney General in favor OF having
the entire appropriation applied to the
payment of claims against the exposition,
including those of residents OF the State
of louisiana. 1t is expected that the At
torney General VIII decide the question
early next week.

The Democrats have control of the
Legislature, and are solely responsible
for not enacting any kind of a measure
for the regulation of the liquor traffic.
As long as they are In pswer, Ohio will
have free whisky.-M. GiJodd SeIltinei.
For symmetrical, brazen, unmitiga-
ted, bevel-edged lie, we have positive
admiration. and this one fills the re-
quirements in every part. The Demo-
cratic majority in the Legislature ex-
erted every possible effort to secure q
measure for the regulation Of the liquor
traffic. Every Democrat was in his seat
when the proposition for a license
amendment to the constitution came
up for action in the House, and sixty
votes were recorded in its favor. The
Republicans voted sOlidly against it,
and it failed of adoption because of the
constitutional requirements of three
fifths majority. No measure for the
taxation of the traffic will pass the scru-
tiny of the Supreme Court under the
constitution as it now stands, and the
license amendment being ga necessity in
consonance with the regulation of the
liquor traffic, the odium of free whisky
justly rests upon the shoulders of the
Republican members of the Legislature
and the party they represent.-Bucmus

nl.Bred Smokers.

There is no one thing, perhaps, in
which the difference between the we'll
bred man and the Inbred man more
appears than in the manner in which,
the place where, and the time when
they smoke. The well-bred man does
not smoke nor does he seem to smoke
to show off, whereas the ill-bred man
very often smokes in self-conscious
manner that seems to say: ''Look at
nae! see how skillfully my lips hold this
cigar; how can shift it from one side
to the other without touching it with
my fingers, and how I can articulate
with it in my mouth; in short, look you
what perfect control | have over my la
bal muscles, and, having seen, ad-
mire!" In short, there are many low
bred young men-very many--that ap-
pear to smoke only to display their
imagined grace and skill; when, in
fact, in smoking as they do, where
they do, and when they do, they but
publish their vulgarity. The well-bred
man, on the contrary, the gentleman,
the man that smokes only for the love
of it, puts but as much of his cigar in
his mouth as is necessary in order to
draw it, keeps it in his mouth no long
or than is necessary and never fails to
remove it when he talks or passes any
one to whom he would be respectful,
especially lady. Further, our best
bred men never smoke in any street at
an hour when it is much frequented.

Representations.

The most common representations
of death in Sicily are: The midnight
bowling of dog; the hooting of an
owl; the growing of hen at night; to
dream of dead friends or kinsfolks; to
sweep the house at night; or to make
an opening of any kind in an inhabited
house. Boys are of evil omen when
they accompany the Viaticum, but as
they always do accompany it, it would
seem as if no one who had received the
last sacraments has chance of recov-
cry. He has not much; but it does at
times happen that he breaks the bonds
of death already woven round him and
comes out with renewed life and vigor.
Death is expected at midnight or at the
first hours of the morning or at mid
day. If delayed something supernat-
ural is suspected. Had the dying man
when in health burned the yoke of a
plowp Is there an unwashed linen
thread in his mattress? Perhaps he
once, like care killed a cat. If he de-
lays his dying, the friends must call out
his name in seven litanies, or at least
put his clothes out of doors. In any
case he dies because the doctor has
misunderstood his case and given him
a wrong medicine; else SITS. Cosmo and
Damian, SITS. Francisco and Paolo,
would have saved him. When he dies
the women raise the death howl and
let loose their hair about their shoulders.
All his good qualities are enumerated
and his bad ones are forgotten. He is
dressed in white and after he is dressed
his shroud is sewed tight. This pious
work gains indulgences for those who
perform it; and the very needle is pre-
served as a sacred possession. Some
times, however it is left in the grave
clothes to be buried with the corpse.
In certain places the women are buried
in their wedding dress, which they have
kept all these years to serve as their
shroud. Seated or in bed, the corpse
is always laid out feet foremost to the
door, and for this reason no one in Sic
lily makes bed with the head to the
window and feet to the door. 1t would
be bad omen. About the corpse-bed
stand lighted candles, or, however poor
the family, at least one little oil lamp.
The hired mourners, ''repulatrici,
were once so numerous and costly as
to demand legislative interference and
municipal regulation. 10 this day
they tear their hair and throw it in
handfuls on the corpse, and the sisters
who lament their brothers-rustic an
tigones and electras-exhale their sor-
rows in sweet and mournful songs

A KENToN printer stood at the desk
ola business man the other day and
noticed him using letter and bill heads
which he had bought of n Cincinnati
house. Said the printer, who was u
customer: What would you think of
me if I should go to Bellefontain and
buy your line of goods for myself and
family?' The merchant replied: "I
would think you a fool, when 1 know
you can get the same goods just as
cheap of me and also aid fellow
citizen" When the printer called his
attention to the imported letter and
bill heads the merchant coughed and
walked up behind the counter to wait
on customer. And the same mer-
chant, just the day before, asked the
printer to give him free puff about
his big stock ofnew goods! When bills
from the paper mill and type foundry
came in employees demanded their
wages, the printer then thought of this
circumstance and sighed heavily.

spected lady and the wife of one of our
substantial farmers in Hicksville town
ship, received number of valentines
covered with low, vulger, slanderous
and licentious, writings too foul to utter.
The husband and the lady who felt the
sting keenly kept the matter quiet, but
at once set about to find the perpetrator
of the crime, and on Friday morning at
l o'clock one Elmer +. Herald, a school
teacher in Hicksville township, was ar
rested at his instigation. Herald was
brought to Defiance and was given a

Squire Stout bound Herald over to
appear before Common Pleas Court,
under 5000 bail, which was promptly
given. - Defiance Democrat.

A comma is a very little thing, dear
children. but little things are some
times of great importance and have far,
reaching effects Along about 1876
congress in fit of liberaliGy decided
that the American people might i'm
port fruit trees from Canada and 9TH
or foreign parts free Of duty. The co..
lectors of customs, were duly notified
and no tax on fruit trees was collected
thereafter. Two or three years later
an importer of fruit demanded the re-
turn of all duties he had paid on ap-
pies, oranges. bananas, and other
fruits, on the ground that the duty on
these articles had been abolished in
1876, or thereabouts, and that he had
been unlawfullv taxed. The law was
looked up by the Secretary of the
treasury, and behold it was found the
importer was right. In engrossing
the bill, one of the congressional clerks
instead of writing the compound word
"fruit-trees, as intended by congress,
made it read fruit, trees" equivalent
to "fruit and trees" and in that form
it was certified by the speaker and the
clerk Of the senate and approved by
the president. Nobody could tell
whether the engrossing clerk did this
ignorantly or purposely, and the law
was allowed to stand. In this case
the little comma made difference of
hundreds of thousands to importers,
and in the amount of revenues. which is
probably more influence than the com
ma ever exerted at one time before, al
though it may again if not closely
watched.

THE COLORED MEN.

Stains

SlaJuS.
WASHINGTON, Mch. &c. s. Smith,
of Bloomington, ILL.,, the colored Inde-
pendent, visited the President yester-
day, accompanied by Bishop Oberly. Mr..
Smith called to pay his respects, to an
nounce that he would be no longer a
candidate for the mission of Liberia, and
TO confer with the President generally
as to the relations of the Democratic
party to the colOred man.
The President said that he hoped that
the position of the colored man in the
South would be improved under his
Administration and believed that the
signs of division amongs the colored
men in the North would be of advan-
tage in the South, where the vote would
not always belong to the color line. He
said that the time had come when he
thought it possible that all political dis
tinctions between the white and colored
men should be abandoned, and he
hoped that his administration would
contribute to that end.
There are four prominent Republican
colored men in 0ffice-Bruce, Register
of the Treasury; Douglass, Recorder of
Deeds in this district; Langston Min
lister to Hayti; Smith, Minister to Lii
IBERIA. There are two prominent Demo-
cratic colored men Peter Clark of Gin
cinnati and Matthews of the Albany
Phalana, Albany, n. Y, and well
known to the President, Lamont and
Manning who seek important places,
while the two independent colored men
Smith, of Bloomington, ILL.,, and
George II. Downing, of Newport
also booked for places. 1t is not improb-
able that the four Republican colored
men will be removed that the four gen
tlernen named be appointed to their
places. Peter Clark, of Cincinnati, has
been suggested as Minister to Hayti.

who made contest here for Fred.
Douglass's place, has returned home,
