All About Cncsfnuia.

Those to whom the chestnut is a sweet
morsel may not be particularly edited to
know that grocerymen buy--according to a
dealer in nuts-most OF what are termed
"rotten nuts"-that is, Of which the ma
iority are wormy. They sell for dollar or
so less per bushel than good nuts. The best
chestnuts come from New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,, the only Eastern States that
produce them in any quantities except Con-
necticut but Connecticut chestnuts are
poor. Pennsylvania and Virginia mainly
supply the market, Michigan and Ohio give
a fair proportion. The Western nuts are
good, but are often spoiled in shipment.
Chestnuts, If shut up in tight box three
days, Will spoil The further south the
poorer the nuts. Those of PENNSYLVANIA
and Virginia and further south are larger
ard look better than those of New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts,. The latter are
small and reddish, sound and sweet. The
dark-colored glossy chestnuts sell best be-
cause of their size and color The color is
caused by their having been boxed. Fresh
chestnuts are comparatively light-colored
Chestnuts, to keep well, should be spread
out in dry place.-[Pittsburg Times.

Resignation of Treasurer wyman.

WASHINGTON CITY, April %. Mr.. c. N.
Jordan, formerly cashier of the Third ma

pointed treasurer of the United States, to
succeed Mr. A. U. Wyman, resigned Mr..
Wyman rendered his resignation on April 3,
but the announcement of the fact was with.
held at the request of Secretary Manning,
until Wednesday. In accepting his resigna-
ton Secretary Manning expresses the ut
most confidence in Treasurer Wyman, and
regrets his retirement, which is en-
tirely voluntary. Mr. Wyman was in
March last elected vice president Of the
Omaha National bank, and also is to take

Wyman has been in the treasury depart
ment since April, 1865, when he was ap
pointed to a $500 clerkship. He was
gradually promoted through different grades
of clerkships and chief Of divisions and
assistant cashier and was appointed assistant
United States treasurer in 1875 In 1875 he
became treasurer, but resigned that position
in 1877 on account of i'll health and assumed
the duties of assistant treasurer. On Apri
l, 1885, he was again appointed treasurer
and has filed that position since.

mite sufficient to make dust of the whole
city. The trench started from a Dit about
eight feet deep, over which trap door was
arranged to fall inward, and ran in the
direction of the observatory of the uni
versity.
What the purpose of this work was there
are many theories Some say the object was
to blow up the tower with dynamite and
others claim that the purpose was the entrap-
ping of young lady who attends the
university, and with whom Funk is violently
in love- He himself says he had the pit
dug for experiments in electricity but tells
any story to the reporters that comes first
into his head. The report that he had con-
fessed to an attempt TO dynamite
the university seems to be unfounded. AT
first the matter created great excitement,
but it has quieted down and as Funk is un-
doubtedly a crank, his last act has lost
most Of its significance and is looked upon
by many as simply the expressicn of some
incoherent pur )ose.
Another story Funk tells is that he
knows nothing of the purpose for
which the trench was intended. He had
been employed to help dig the trench, and
received SO for his work. When
asked why he selected that kind
of employment, he said he did moi
