WASHINGTON. December &c.
Treasurer Jordan expects to go to New
York tomorrow to assume charge of
the United States Sub-Treasury there.
lie says he knows of no reason why
be should not discharge the duties of
ub-TreaSurer, as it simply amounts to
tie performance by a superior officer of
certain duties heretofore discharged by
subordinate.
The estimates Of the statistician Of
the Department Of Agriculture for the
principal crops Of 1885 are computed,
and the aggregate bushels are as fol-
lows in round millions Corn, 1885,
100000; wheat, $4,000, 200; oats,
GO, 000, 900. The area Of corn is
seventy, three million acres; of wheat,
ihirty-four million; of oats, twenty
three million. The value of corn
averages nearly SO cents per buShel,
and makes an aggregate Of sG35, 0OO,-
OCo-five million less than the value Of
the last crop. The decrease in the pro-
duct of wheat is so per cent, and only
Il per cent. in valuation, which is s275,-
600. 600. The valuation ofoatS is$lS0,-
900, 900. The reduction in wheat is
mostly in the valleys OF Ohio aud in
California. The States OF Ohio. Indiana,
Illinois. Missouri. and Kansas last year
produced lie, 600. 600 bushels this year
$4,000, 000--a reduction of 90.000,000
bushels. The production of all cereals
is ifty-ihrce bushels to each inhabitant.
and the aggregate volume is larger than
any former year.
Treasury officials express the opinion,
founded on the fact that the receipts
have been very light during the month,
while pension payments have been made
TO considerable amount on account Of
last month, thai the debt statement will
show an increase of nearly $1,000, 900
in the public debt during the current
month.
The Secretary OF. the Treasury has
instructed the collector Of customs at
Georgetown, ID. c., 10 admit free Of
duty certain plaster models imported
by the Ladies Lee-Monument Associa-
ton as designs from which a selection
is to be made for monument to Gene
raj Robert 4. Lee. The authority for
exemption from duty is found in the
statute providing for the free importa-
ton Of works Of art imported for the
purpose of erecting public monuments.
Four hundred and forty-eight persons
waited patiently in the East room Of
the White House to-day to pay their
respects TO the President. The crowd
was almost twice as large as at any
preceding reception Of this kind. The
President appeared just before 2 o. clock
and entered upon his task with such
expedition that the entire room was
cleared in sixteen minutes. Several
persons tried to engage the Presidents
attention with private matters, but they
we're told to- call sgsin tomorrow.

DENVER, COL, December 30.--This
morning at 3 o'clock three masked men
entered the engine-room Of the Marshall
Coal Company's works, at Erie, on the
Colorado Central railroad, forty miles
from Denver, captured the engineer.
took him several hundred yards away,
tied him, and then returned and
set fire to all the coal in the
compsny's hoisting-works. The en-
gine-house, tramway, and several
cars of the railroad company were com.
pletely destroyed. The loss will reach
over $4,000, while several hundred
men are thrown out Of employment.
Three weeks ago the wages Of the men
in the company's mines were cut down,
when the Knights Of Labor ordered a
strike; but the miners, rather than be
without work at this time Of the year,
refused to obey. This mornings out
rage is supposed to be another out
cropping of the Rock-Spring trouble,
which was said to be instigated by the
Knights Of Labor and few striking
miners.

Turkeys OmtWittiMs Owls.

According to Audubon. who is an I'M
donbted authority, the turkey in its
endeavor to escape from the owl, has
recourse to an expedient WI ich, by way
of contrast to its usual dizziness, is ex-
ceedingly bright. The snowy owl is the
particular bird mentioned in Audubon's
account, but it is said that the same de-
vice is resorted to by the turkey to
thwart the great horned owl, which is
the greatest poultry thief in this coun-
try.
The snowy owl is one of the largest as
well as one of the most beautiful of
owls. 1t is not as swift in flight as the
great horned owl, but it is II good hun
ter, and seldom fails of a meal where
there are hares or grouse. Its success is
due largely to quality possessed in
common with all owls-noiseess flight.
The sight of one of these white prowlcrs
it hunts by daylight-is always the
signal for Il violent commotion among
the turkeys. y continuous rolling COB
Bile breaks out. and each individual
shifts his position, and follows with I'M
easy eyes the silent, sailing motion of
the enemy.
Suddenly the owl has singled out a
victim, and with a swoop is bearing
swiftly down toward the quarry with
eager claws outstretched. At once every
turkey makes Iurch forward, and
spreading out the tai feathers, presents
broad, slippery, unstable shield, against
which the disappointed owl dashes with
futile ferceness. -HprPer's Ba.ar.

fast friends. and the nice young man had
his daily drinks and cigars at the detec-
tlve's expense. The two came over to
Detroit and attended the theatre and had
good times, and it was the opinion of
the officer that he never met such nice
young man. Finally, a night or two
