ponement There WAS lively little mill
OF the you're another" kind between
Mackey and Shields, but no blood was
drawn and the referee declared the
thing a draw. The most important
action OF the council, and that towards
which the endeavors OF Alderman Mac
KEY have been directed for some time,
was the report Of the city engineer on
the property at the head Of the river.
The report confirms Mackey's claim that
the lots did not run to the river and
that the city owned substantial interests
there. Upon this report the council
voted to instruct the city attorney to at
once institute suit for the recovery OF
the property in question. This action
will set at rest the much yexed question
of ownership Of that disputed property
in the only way in which it can be set
tied, by a decision Of the courts. This
opens up the whole question. and the
people will be glad to know that this
much mixed matter, over which so much
council time has been spent, will be
finally passed upon by the courts.

The Panic of 1857.

The cause of the panic of 1857 was
mainly the rage for land speculation
which had ran through the country
like an epidemic. Paper cities abuun.
ded, unprOductive railroads were
opened, and to help forward these
projects, irresponsible banks were
started, or good banks found them
selves dra Tn into an excessive issue
in notes. Every one was anxious to
invest in real estate and become rich
by an advance in prices. Capital was
attracted into this speculation 10y the
prospect of large gains, and so great
was the demand for money that
there was remarkable advance in
the rates of interest. In the West,
where tie speculative fever WAS at its
highest, the common rates of interest
were from z to per cent. month.
Everything was apparently in the
most prosperous condition, real estate

them by thousands of depO-itOrs, the
banks of New York suspended pay

Massachusetts went down, follow

throughout New England. the dis
tress which followed these caIamities
was very great, tens of thousands of
WOrkmen being unemployed for
months. The New York banks re-
sumed payment again December 10,

possible, and then get all the satis-
faction he can out of the dose,

have seen some men who, thor
oughly posted in the art, made JUS
tice fearful to contemplate. The best
justice l Know of is that which does

How Postage Stamps are Made.

The design of the stamp is engrav-
ed on steel. and. in printing, plates
are used on which two hundred
stamps have been engraved. Two
men are Kept busy at work covering
these with colored inks aud passing
them to a man and girl, who are
equally busy printing them on large
hand presses. Three of these little
squads are employed all the time.'
After the small sheets of paper con-
tanning two hundred printed stamps
are dried enough, they are sent into
another room and gummed. The
gum used for this purpose is a pecu-'
liar composition. made of the powder
OF dried potatoes and other vegeta-
bles mixed with water. After hay.
ing been again dried, this time on
little racks famed by steam power
for about an hour, they are put be-
tween sheets of pastehOard and press
ed in hydraulic presses capable of
applying weight of two thousan nd
tons. The next thing is to cut the
sheet in two /; each sheet, of course,
when cut containing one hundred
stamps. This is done by agirl, with
large pair Of shears. cutting by
hand being preferred to that done by
machinery, which would destroy too
many stamps. Next they are press
ed once more, and then packed and
labeled and slowed away, to be sent
out to the various offices when want
ed. If single stamp is torn off or
in any way mutiiated, the whole
sheet of one hundred stamps is
burn ed. Not less than FIVE hundred
thousand are said to be burned every
week from this cause. The greatest
care is taken in counting the sheets
of stamps to guard against pilfering5
by employees. and it is said that dur.
ing the last twenty years not a sim
gle sheet has been lost in this way.

Lighting the BarthOIdi Statue.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Thc ques-

of Liberty was officially brought to
the attention of the president yester-
day, for the first time, by the sec-e-
tary of the treasury. The president
and secretary examined the laws bear
ing on the case, and as a result the
president directed that the matter be
placed in the hands IF the Lighthouse
board, with view of determining the
utility Of the statue as q beacon.
Mr.. Goff, president of the American
System of Electric Lighting Com
pany, subsequently waited on the Sec
retary Of the lighthouse board and
made proposition to light the statue
free of expense to the government.
lie was told to put his offer in writ
ing and it would be considered.
A member of the board in speaking
of the subject this afternoon said the
main question to be determined was
whether an electric light was an aid or
detriment to navigation. There were
many persons who held the latter
view, and it is fact, he said that the
electric light at He'll Gate was to be
discontinued after the 1st proximo, be-
cause it was regarded as dangerous to
navigation.

The Judgment Gained by the
ChOctaw Indians.

Fort SMITH, Nov. 19.-Therc ia con-
siderable rejoicing among the Choc
taws over the gaining of their suit in
the supreme court of the United States
for $3,0O0,O0O. This was n claim for
land in Mississippi ceded by the Choc-
taws to the United States many years
ago, and for strip Of land on the
western boundary of Arkansas, which
was wrongfully taken from the Choc-
taw Nation by survey. Two lines
were run, and what is known as the
"treaty line" was ignored by the gov
crmcnt surveyors, who ran the "boun-
Diary line" in such manner as to bring
several valuable plantations into the
state. This boundary line was retrac-
ed in 1877, and mile posts and corners
were set and all evidences of the
"treaty line" were destroyed. This
matter was before the court of claims
for years, and was appealed to the ST.
preme court, which finally gave justice
to the Choctaws. The attorney for
the Choctaws gets fee of $250,000.
