ma-When the last effort was made by tn

@-When the last effort was made by the city
to capture 'the Belt" among the strongest oppo-
nents of the extension of the city's limits was
Winfield J. Taylor, Esq, highly esteemed young
member of the bar. Mr.. Taylor lives in the Belt,
near Boundary avenue, and few nights ago a
burglar got into his house and made it extremely
disagreeable for his family. 1t is now intimated
that Mr.. Taylor's opinions have changed some
what and that if by extending the citys limits the
residents of that section would get better police
protection, he would hail the change with exceed
ing great joy. The great number of burglaries
recently committed in the Belt have had very
decided effect upon the residents on the question
of city extension, and if they had chance to vote
npon it just at this time it is believed that they
would be practically unanimous for it. 1t is sim
ply impossible for the present county police force
to give the Belt people the protection the exigen-
cies of the case demand.

ES-On Saturday last Mr.. VIM. H. Vanderbilt,
of New York, bought in the real estate and valu-
able trophies belonging to Gen. Grant, under his
own judgment for $4,000, and presented the
same to Mrs. Grant At first the General, on the
part of his wife, declined the gift, but upon Mr..
Vanderbilt insisting the present finally ac-
cepted against the protest of Mrs. Grant. Gen.
Grant borrowed the $3.50, 900 on his own personal
account in the hope of being able to thus tide
over the difficulties of the Marine National Bank,
whose affairs afterwards were shown to be in a
much worse condition than was at first supposed,
and of course that amount, with all the General
had invested with Grant & Ward, went to the dogsa

gc~Perhaps the revenue refOrmers, if they
were to wait awhile longer, would not deem it
necessary to wage incessant war upon the present
protective tariff. The increase in the public debt
last month, Secretary McCuloch explains, is not
so much due to unusual increase of govern
mental expenditures, but to the heavy falling of
in the receipts both from customs and internal
revenue. The dull times are having their full
effect upon the revenues of the country, and com
mon prudence suggests that as the expenses are
increasing even faster than the revenues are de-
creasiug, it might be as well to wait awhile and
watch the course of events before hurrying the
country into any sweeping revenue reform that
will carry it into still serious evils than those
from which we are now trying to escape.

gD> Henry W. Oliver, one of the largest iron
manufacturers of the Pttsburg district is credited
with the statement that all their mills will soon
be put in operation, and that the prospect is more
encouraging than for some time. There appears
to be general resumption of mills at that place,
and orders are reported to be coming in more
freely and stocks are very low. The present de-
preston in trade is quite phenomenal, and the
bottom must have been reached, and when inter-
ests have had time to adjust themselves to the
changed condition of affairs and values become
thoroughly settled, more prosperous period will
no doubt set in, rich in substantial blessings to
all classes

S-I In tn U. S. Senate on Monday, Mr.. Hawley
offered resolution calling for papers in the con-
troversy which has for some time been going on
between Gen. Sherman and JEFF. Davis. This
caused very lively discussion in which Senators
Hawley, Harris, George, Vest, Sherman, Morgan,
COnger and Lamar participated. Of course the
Southern Senators all defended Davis while the
others maintained the correctness of Gen. Sher-
mans position. Nothing like this cross-fre has
been seen in the Senate for years and occasioned
considerable comment.

that it will require the labor of 1000 men three
years to complete the work, including the quar-

G4~ Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, the most famous
litigant that ever lived in this country, died in
New Orleans on the 9Th inst. The history of this
remarkable woman reads like romance and
would make excellent groundwork for the fertile
brain of the story writer. For fifty years she
was engaged in litigation to recover an immense
estate which belonged to her father and out of
which she had been swindled by the destruction
of will at the hands of her fathers business
partner. For many years she was unsuccessful,
but being possessed of indomitable energy, she
did not give up and finally succeeded in recover
ing several million dollars worth of property
She leaves very large estate which will also be
ths shjos. &c litigation she left two wills, both
made early in January 1885. She has several
grandchildren who viii engage in this legal bat
tie and the lawyers viii doubtless come in for o
large share of the money which she labored so
earnestly to acquire.

made $4,000 year, and the remainder did not
make as much as journeymen printers working

fessional receipts were as lawyer, but recon-
mended his hearers to learn trades instead of try
ing to be professional men.
