A Substitute for the Andrew johnson and
Completion of the Calumet Asked,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Capt Shep-
herd of the revenue marine caused an
item to be inserted in the books of
treasury estimates this year of S175, 900
for a new revenue cutter to take The
place Of the Andrew Johnson on Lake
Michigan. The sundry civil bill as
originally reported last year provided
for n appropriation of 500, 900 for the
same purpose, but the item was stricken
out in conference
It was admitted at the Office of the
revenue marine that there was really a
poor prospect for getting the appropria-
tion through the next Congress with
Holman chairman of the committee on
appropriations. But the effort will be
made and at the same time it is pro-
posed to ask for S12, 900 more to com
plete the Calumet, the Chicago harbor
revenue boat for which S28, 900 was ap-
propriated by the last Congress.

He pronounced it ''nothink," but that is
neither here nor there. l saw at once from
his manner that he had come with a precOn-
ceived opinion, and that nothing he might
see would be likely to make him side with
the men against their master. However /
treated him as civilly as possible, and. when
he had assumed the necessary dress, we
mace the tour OF inspection together. When
we came to the outlying gallery. above which
the sea was laundering, he trembled good
deal and gave other signs of agitation, and
he did not recover himself until he had re-
gained the open air, which he did after a
very perfunctoIy visit indeed. Once or twice

Plymouth has charming court house
with a beautiful green lawn before it
and a fountain which is superior to most
of our American fountains, as it is pro-
vided with water, feature which adds
so much to a fountain, think. What
can look any more refreshing than a
fountain that is constantly kept mois-
tened by some artificial means And
what can look more depressing to the
thinking mind, provided the thinking
mind should ook in that direction, than
parched and painting fountain with its
