THE COUNT OF THE CASH.

Hoto Mach There Is in the National Boz
Wynan-
Washington special to the Omaha Herald:
'Tn round numbers there are $500, 900 in
cash and nearly 100000 600 in bonds and trust
funds in the treasury vaults" said ex-Treas
urer Wyman to-day. Although he appeared
pale and nervous, he stated he should not re-
main until the count was finished, but proceed
to Omaha without waiting for the commit
tees report. Everybody is confident the cash
will be found all right.
he exhibited to-day some queer letters
which he has received since the last election,
generally relating to the disposition of the
money contained in the treasury. He received
a letter from an Indiana farmer, who said that
he understood the democrats intended clean
ing out the treasury, but before that should
come to pass he desired that the small sum Of
5000 should be sent him in order that he
might buy a farm. He knew Mr.. Wyman
would be willing to oblige HIM with this
amount, particularly if he felt that the demo-
and its funds
Another letter was from an Ohio man, who
said that he learned from different papers
that $4,000 900 lay in the treasury which be-
claimed. He was of the opinion that some of
this amount rightfully belonged to him. A
good many years ago, while travelling in Ken
lucky, he had sent $40 to his wife in letter,
but nothing had ever been heard of either let
ter or remittance, and he presumed the money
was in the treasury. Besides, his wife's uncle
went to California in 1859. and promised to
leave her some money. The uncle had since
died, but nothing had been heard of the leg.

claimed $40 100000 He desired the treasurer
to look the matter up and turn over to him
what was rightfully his own.

A Political "Reminiscences.

Fifty-two years since, of the men
who laid the foundations of the gov
eminent of the United States nearly
all had passed into history. The sim
pie and stainless character, the tran
quill and majestic intellect of John Mar
shall at the age of four score still shed
over the bench of the supreme court
the gladstone light of Jurisprudence.
John Quincy Adams, after long serv-
ice as diplomatist, senator, cabinet
minister, and president, had recently
entered the lower house of congress,
and at nearly three score and ten was
about to commence that long defense
of the right of petition which has es-
tablished his fame and placed his
name by the side of John Hampden on
the roll of the immortals who have
protected the sacred rights of human
nature against the aggressions of ar
bitrary power. But federalists and
republicans, John Adams and Eamil-
ton, Jefferson and Madison, to use the
happy phrase of a great orator, had
taken their places in the upper sky.
On the stage of political action there
were men whom many men now liv-
ing can recall in their habit as they
lived. Daniel Webster, then in the
full maturity of his great powers. had
recently, in his reply to Hayne,
achieved forensic triumph with
which the country rang from side to
side. and about which generations yet
unborn will talk as we now talk of the
orations of Demosthenes or Chatham.
John G. Calhoun, then of the same age
as Webster, in defense of what he
claimed to be the rights of his native
state, had forced one of those COM
promises which had their origin rather
in the patriotism than in the practical
wisdom OF Henry Clay. 1t was in ref
erence to this that at later time Mr..
Calhoun ventured to say upon the
floor of the senate: 81 was then his
MASTER" and drew from the arrogant
and naughty Kentuckian the reply:
''He my master! / would not own
him for slave" Henry Clay, few
years older than Webster and Calhoun,
and inferior to either of them in some
respects, was superior to both in the
impericus will and the intuitive sagac-
ity which makes a great party leader.
These three men were then senators
and rival candidates for the presi-
dency. Andrew Jackson, then APP
preaching his allotted term of 20
years. after his victory over the Bank
of the United States, had just been
reelected to the presidency with a
popular approval unexampled since
ne days of Washington.-P

Pleasant Hill. The train at the time was rum

the wind caught it in the center, leaving the
engine and eight cars safely on the rails. The
two next cars were lifted from the track,
but not injured, while the remaining ten and
caboose were overturned and wrecked and
tore and twisted into all sorts of shapes. Four
of these cars were loaded with cattle and
hogs, three with gravel ballast and three with
general mercha disc.
In the caboose was Christopher Koeger, the
conductor; j. III. Tuckman, a stockman from
Dunlap, Kan. and John Duncan, Jack Nc
Carly and w. Vaught, brakemen. Koeger,
the conductor, was cut about the head and
bruised on both legs, and all the occupants of
the caboose were shaken up and tumbled
about, as after leaving the rails the car was
dragged along over the ties hundred feet or
more. The cattle cars were so badly wrecked
that many animals were killed while many
more escaped and are still roaming about the
country.
From the country about Pleasant Hill come
reports of the wind. and in the Plum Grove
district, three miles southeast the school
house and church were uuroofed. At Stras-
burg and Kingsville several small wooden
houses were blown down and considerable
fencing was destroyed, but aside from the
losses to the railway few interests suffered

A Queer Criminal.

Many years ago man called Rem
wick Williams, but better known as
the Monster" an artificial flower
maker in Soho, was convicted at the
Old Bailey of a series of very extra
ordinary and apparently motiveless
0utrages upon women. He used to
follow women along the streets, and
then drive bOdkin or brad-awl, or
penknife, or some other small cutting
instrument, through her dress. He
never attacked his victims in the face
or in any vital part, and his conduct
seems to have been the result of some
morbid propensity to inhict pain and
terror. Crime. we are often told, re-
peats itself, and Renwick Williams
would seem to have turned up again
in the peaceful borough which has the
honor of returning to parliament

A man, at present unknown and unde-

Commissioner of Agriculture.

THE MAY CENTURY special rea-
sons, in the May Century, more space
than usual is devoted to the war series.
and sixteen pages are added to the reg
ular number, 160, in order that other
subjects of public Importance should
not be sighted. Of superior interest is
General Adam Badeau's anecdotal pa
per on General Grant as a soldier.
General Badeau's article covers the
whole period of General Grants mill
tary experience, from his brilliant SER
vice in the Mexican war to the surren-
der of Lee at Appomattox, concluding
with an interesting analysis of General
Grants soldierly characteristics.
The frontispiece of the number is a
striking portrait of General Mcclellan,
engraved from photograph taken es-
pecially for this purpose. General Nc
Clellan contributes graphic account of
''The Peninsular Campaign" and
makes special reference to his official
and personal relations with Secretary
Stanton and President Lincoln.
Of peculiar interest is General Joseph
E. Johnston's Manassas to Seven
Pines" which is reply to Jefferson
Davis criticisms Gin 1.-The Rise and
Fall of the Southern Confederacy'') on
his military operations in Virginia.
General johnson describes in detail the
battles of Bull Run and the first day at
Seven Pines; and his recollections are
supplemented, as it were, by General
John d. Imboden's entertaining de-
scription of incidents of the Battle of
Manassas, and General Gustavus w.
Smiths account of s'The Second Day at
Seven Pines" General Tmboden re-
lates fresh anecotes of General Stone
wall jackson and other prominent &C
tors in the battle; and in conclusion he
throws new light on the confederate
failure to pursue the federal army to
Washington. General Gustavus w.
Smith commanded at Seven Pines from
the time of General Johnston's injury,
on the evening of the first day, until
General Lee assumed command after
the fighting had ceased on the second
day. The fourth chapter of ''Recollec-
tions of Private describes the move
ment which saved the Union army from
total defeat at Seven Pines-the forced
march of Summers corps to the aid of
the outnumbered federal troops at Fair
Oaks station. The war papers are
with careful maps, pictures
of incidents and of places, and numer-
Gus portraits, including full page
double portrait of Generals Lee and
johnson, from photograph taken
after the war.

Jaw Gould Didn't 60,

Jay Gould, the American millionaire
and stcck-exchange gambler, arrived
here in pleasure yacht last week, and
sailed from this port last Monday.
His visit created no great interest be-
yond his yacht, because of its costli-
ness. During his stay in this city he
had, OF course. a separate table for
himself, and he received that measure
of homage which is usually paid IN all
parts of the world to men of reputed
wealth. Character is not considered
in such cases, and therefore is not
counted. Those who delighted in max
ing salaams to the golden calf did so,
while others, who considered it more
in keeping with their profession to
''hold candle to the devil" were al
lowed to do so, and nobody interfered
with their devotions. In the evening
of Saturday select dinner party had
been arranged, and Jay promised
faithfully 10 crafty the ambition of
his admirer and to dine with him at
GAIA; but, although the table was laid
and the dinner kept hot. and ''Mumm's
champagne" was cooling in the ice,
and the butler wore double.

"his sisters. his cousins, and aunts'.-
kept on the tiptoe of expectation, i'm
