II WILL be remembered that MIR.
Cleveland, just before the election,
wrote a very peculiar and rather unnec-
essary letter to Mrs. Henry Ward
Bcecher, in which he alluded, in mild
way, to some campaign statements, and
which letter was very severely criti-
ciscd by the Democratic papers, The
telcgraphic reports state that II. F..
lieecher, son OF Henry Ward, has been
appointed Collector Of Customs, and
it is parenthetically stated that Henry
Ward refused to speak in behalf OF his
sons appointment, which was proper,
considering the fact that it was not neo-
cssary.

The Cabinet Resigns.

LONDON, June 9.-Mr. Gladstone and
his colleagues met at noon to-day and
remained in session fully one hour and
laaquarter. The session is said to have
been stormy one. During the sitting
1t is said that numerous accusations and
recriininations were indulged in, but it
was unanimously agreed that there was
no alternative but to resign at once.
This step having been fully resolved up
on, the members of the cabinet are said
to have individually rendered their resig-
,nationssto the Premier, who will, it Is
expected, proceed to Windsor and ten
der them, together with his own, to Her
Majesty, the Qneen, before another
Itwenty-four hours have passed. The
political situation is viewed as very
grave at this time and the news that the
Cabinet has decided to resign has caused
much gloom tamong Commercial and
financial circles. On the stock exchange
"a very unsettled and shaky feeling pre-
wallis and values have declined sharply.

An Ohio Mans Discovery.
New York Graphical

Representative Warner, of Ohio, dis
played to me, yesterday, a thick steel
plate which he had just been exhibit
ing to the President and Secretary
Whitney. The plate was two full in
ches thick and of tool steel, and was
perforated with a number OF smoothly
bored holes. Wrapped up with the
plate was . three-inch polished steel
cylinder, about three-quarters of an
inch in diameter, pointed in sharp
cone. The point was unturned. Yet
this was the ball that had penetrated
the plate when fired from gun made
by a blacksmith under the new East
man method Of discharging gunpowder.
Eastman is an Ohio man, and has been
working on the problem Of the greatest
initial velocity to projectiles, for years.
Now he claims to have solved it, and
has enlisted the sympathy and admira-
ti0n Of General Warner. An attempt
will no doubt be made to introduce il
into the navy.

Crawling Out ofHis skin.
New York World

The big boa-constrictor in Central
Park shed his skin yesterday afternoon.
He was stiff from the long winters
sleep and as his head swayed from side
to side, the mottled skin began to break
just back of his neck. The head swung
from side to side more violently still
and the rent back of his neck grew lar
ger. A piece of skin, transparent and
looking like pure honey-comb dropped
off and fell to the bottom Of the cage.
BY this time great crowd of curious
visitors pressed about the glass enclos-
ure, watching the boa's efforts to peel
off the old skin. Sliding UP to the
wooden sash that held the panes of
glass he pulled his length along, scrap
ing the old skin.off against the sharp
partition. Very slowly the sinuous
folds moved by, and it was fifteen
minutes before strip of fialSy skin,
somewhat like the scales of big fish,
was peeled off. This showed narrow
strip of new skiny skin beneath; but
the strip peeled off was only two inches
wide, SO the numbering snake turned
around and began scraping oft the fakes
in the same way on the other side. Sc
the process was kept up until he finally
emerged, looking fresh and Shiny and
glistening in his new notified dress. The
other boa has not yet parted with its
last years skin. While the snake was
writhing in its efforts to clear itself Q
lady in the crowd tainted and was lee
out.

WARMERS SILVER SCHEME.
Leading Features OF the Plan for
Settling the silver Question.
rPlain Dealer Special. /

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June Cen
erai Warner is still here. A conference
with several congressman took place
tonight. He tells nae that his PROPOSE
ton i'm regard to silver Is meeting with
approval on every hand. New York
bankers say that the simple anounce-
ment that there is likely to be an
agreement has helped the financial
aspect of affairs materially. The fol-
lowing is the new basis submitted by
General Warner, which has been agreed
to by leading financiers all over the
country: Mr.. Tilden is understood to
be favoable to this scheme, and the
prospect isgood for its adoption next
winter. The first, issue of certificates
on deposit of silver bullion at its market
price, at the time ofdeposit, expressed
In dollars, which shall stand as de-
clared value of certificates while in the
hands of the public. Second, such certi-
ficates to be made legal tender for all
purposes exceptin transactions between
private parties. Third, they shall be
redeemabIe in lawful money, or at the
option of the government, In silver
bullion, at its market price at the time
of redemption; when received into the
treasury for dues to the government or
redeemed in lawful money they shall
be held and paid out again as other
currency, but when redeemed in silver
bullion to be cancelled and destroyed.
Fourth, coinage of silver to be suspend
ed until required again to meet an
actual demand for silver dollars. On
coinage ofany bullion, certificates rep
resenting the bullion shall be cancelled
and destroyed. Fifth, fractional silvei,
or at least half dollar pieces, to be mau
full weight and full legal tender, anu
redemption of subsidiary silver. Sixth,
withdraw one and two dollar legal ten
der notes, without reducing total vol
ume of greenbacks; also the five dollar
bank note without thereby reducing
total of bank circulation and substitute
for these silver notes based on the silver
already coined dollar for dollar.
Seventh, redeem and recoin the trade
dollar into standard or fractional coin.

1t does not seem possible that there

tomb at Mount Vernon and removing
the bodies of George and Martha WASH

II was but u lad,' he said, .and re-
member this was about my first piece
of work. When the vault was completed
I assisted in removing the bodies from
the old tomb to their present resting
place. 1t was decided to open Wash

conveyed to the new tomb the lid was
raised. "A number of peoplewere pres

while the workmen extracted the rusty
screws. When the top of the coffin
had been lifted looked In. The body
was apparently perfectly preserved.
|~Ehe features of the face were complete
and there was nothing to indicate the
length of time he had been dead. The
exposure to the air, however, had Its
immediate effect. In a minute or two
the body suddenly collapsed and
shrunk into almost unrec0gnizable
form. Other than this my recollections
are very indistinct. Idonot remember
