INTERESTING TESTIMONY.
An investigation of the affairs of the Dock
department. in New York city has resulted in
showing how some things are done in the
great city. The counsel for firm of fruit
dealers testified that his clients had lease
of an East river pier for FIVE years at 50, 900
a year, with privilege of renewal for fye
years at $11 1000 year. They sublet por-
ton Of the pier to railroad company for a
part Of the time, but gave notice that on the
renewal of the lease the company would have
to find accommodations elsewhere. Notice
of desire to renew the lease was given to
the Dock department at the proper time.
The department sent demand for certain
necessary repairs to be made by the lease
holders, according to the terms of the lease.
The leaseholders offered to make repairs to
the extent of 81, 500, but the department de-
manded repairs to the extent of $14, 800.
When compromise was sought by the lease
holders at the Dock department, they were
told by one of the commissioners that the
railroad company desired to lease the pier;
that if the leaseholders would surrender their
lease, they need not make the repairs; and
that if they did surrender it he would see
about getting bonus for them from the
railroad company. The counsel of the lease
holders also testified that the commissioner
told him that he would also see If he could
not get fea for him from the railroad COM
pany in case surrender of the lease was
made.
Another lawyer testified that he had acted
for starch company in the leasing of por-
tion of an East river pier for 1000. Anoth-
or portion of the pier 10 rented to a railroad
company for $500 a year. The starch
company desired to make certain improve
ments, including the building of platform.
They applied to the department for permit,
and were refused, though such permits had
never been refused before. eve were told, y
their counsel testified, 1--WE could get per.
nit by putting up some money; We were
told this every time we made the applioa-
tion." The same witness testified that his
company stood ready to pay $4,000 year
for 200 feet Of the 500 feet of bulkhead which
the railroad company gots for S., 500 a year.
1t is evident from this and other similar
testimony that has been given that selling
the dock privileges at public auction would
put more money in the treasury of New
York city than the present plan does.

themselves into bodies of water. Though
guilty of no dishonest act, they felt their dis
grace 80 ksenly that none Of them dared face
the world. Had these heathen merchants
spent . Jew years in Christian country they
would have acted differently. They would
have settled with their creditors for seven
cents ON the dollar and been in business again
within week.
The Boston Herald has this to say con-
csrning Volapuk: Tho reference of the prop
osition to have Volapuk taught In the
Boston public schools to a special committee
at the board meeting week ago does not
mean that 1t will bs one of the subjects of
instruction, but it indicates tive things. It
means that this world language is gaining q
constituency that compels attention to it's
principles; it also means that it may become
g possible instrument in bringing closer
together races who are now divided from one
another by the barrier of different Languages.
It seems like forward movement to insist
that this language shall be taught in the
public schools but if it has the merit which
it's promoters insist that it has, the time is
not far distant when it will be one Of the in
dispensable things in a common school edu-
cation, doing what is to-day partially accom-
plished by the knowledge of German and
French for people who speak English.

At this day there are savage tribes that use
species of bow with a tuning peg. In
playing it they hold it in their teeth, and
while the twanging is done with the right
hand the left is slipped along the string to
vary the tones. The bow gave way to the
primitive bow shaped harp. Looking at
modern instruments you will see that many
of them retain their bow shape, as, for in
stance, the violin, the guitar and the mando-
lin. Later came the psaltery of the Bible.
We are told that Pytbsgoras, who lived in
the sixth century, B. G., was the first to
measure vibrating string stretched between
bridges on a resonance box, and by shifting
the bridges be was enabled to determine the
intervals of the Greek octave scale. This
was termed q monochord and it is said to
have been used by Guido d'Arezzo, the IA
nous monk, who is credited with being the
founder of our musical system and the in
ventor of the sol-fa syllables.

reinforced by Pickett's three brigades, yet
the artillery fire which was to precede the
attack did not open till p. M, and the at
tack was made two hours later by Plcketl's

Longstreet, it seems from the extracts given
by "Confederate," instead of carrying out
Gen. Lees orders, delegated bis authority to
his subordinate, Alexander, and then threw
all the encouragement be could on the
movement, as shown by the following ex
tracts:
"Pickett took it (Alexander's letter to

Gettysburg Again.

The following letter from General Early,
which appeared In the Lynchburg News of
Thursday last, was elected by letter of
the previous day, which was intended as a
defense of Gen. Lopgstreet's action at Get
tysburg. and reply to the intimation that
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was not present:
There ia very remarkable communca
ton in your paper Of this morning, over the
signature of confederate" which it is pre-
sumed was intended as vindication Of
Gen. Longstree.'s conduct at Gettysburg,
but which when critically examined has
very different effect. By some extracts
from an article published in the Century
Magazine by Brigadier General e z. Alex
ander, who was chief Of artillery OF Long
streets corps, the writer seeks to show that
the general supervision and direction OF
Picketrs charge at Gettysburg was eDtrust
street. If this be true, and Alexander did
conduct and direct the movement, it shows
that General Lee had lost all confidence In
Lopgstreet, the corps commander, or that
the latter had shirked the duty intrusted to
him and imposed it upon subornate. Here
Is what General Lac says in his official re
port, which is to bs found in the second

the operations on the second day, he says:

CONGRESSMAN BRECKINRIDGE says the
recent Cleveland banquet in New York was
without political significance. OF course it
was, aud it is shrewdly suspected that only
those who were recipients of Mr. Cleveland's
favo-u, either directly or indirectly, would
have it appear otherwise. Indeed the prev
alent impression concerning Mr.. Cleveland's
most pronounced admirers, is that most OF
them, whether at the banquet referred to or
elsewhere, received some sort of favors from
his administration. And, from their stand
point, they are right, for ingratitude is
moral crime. And it was Mr.. C)evelaod's
ingratitude to his party that caused his de
feat in 1855, and that will have the same eff
feet in 90 if he be the nominee.
