he gulped down a glass of raw brandy.
"He was talking about buying this

of buying hotels and then giving them
back to the prOprietors again." uttered
the landlord, somewhat family.

General Washington and Chief Jus.

Washington dined with Ellsworth at

zach knee, and sang to them this song,
The words of which are preserved, but,
unfortunately, not the music:

CIRCULATE SILVER CERTIFICATES.

Meeting OF the House Appropriation
Committee Considering 1t.
Washington, Jan. 21-An important
meeting Of the house appropriation
committee was held today in which
Secretary Carlisle took part at the re-
quest Of Chairman Sayers. The con-
ference was over the adoption of a
policy by which the secretary hopes to
put into circula ton an Increased vol
ulne Of silver certificates of small de-
nominations in place of treasury notes
The committee decided to strike from
the sundry civil bill the stipulation
that for several years has been added
to the item providing for printing treas
ury notes to replace those received at
the trea sury.
The secretary stated that it was his
desire to get more silver certificates of
small denomina tions into the hands of
the people, but explained that other
notes occupied the field and crowded
them out.
Several members Of the committee
led the discussion into the by-Ways of
finance. Once Representative Sibley
asked the secretary what objection
there would be to a system of redeem
ing notes in gold and silver at the op-
ton Of the secretary Of the treasury
instead Of the holder. IF that policy
had been inaugurated at the beginning
Of the resumption" answered the sec
retary, lit would have worked bene-
ficially and no trouble would have ars-
en- from it. But my predecessors have
followed the policy of redeeming in
gold or silver at the option Of the holder
Of paper and any secretary who tried to
change this policy and force silver on
a man who wanted gold or vice versa
would have precipitated disastrous re-
suits"
