ShakY Shaker Report.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, n. V, Feb. 81
The report is current that the ia
nous Shaker settlement at New
Lebanon, Colum bia county, is to be
abandoned and the community re-
moved to Florida, where, it is said,
the Shakers will not be compelled
to work so hard to make both ends
meet. At the settlement this re-
port is denied. The Shakers say
that they own an iron furnace
property in Ohio which they have
traded to the Ditsmau's Safe COM
pany of that state for 1000 acres Of
land in Florida and that some Of
the Shakers have gone to look over
and fence in this land. The assur-
ance is given that the Shakers at
present have no intention of aban-
doning their mountain home at
New Lebanon.

Wants Salaries Reduced.

To the Daily LIGHT:
Referring to the committee
authorized by the City Council at
their last meeting, to adjust the
salaries of those who are to be APP
pointed to fill the various positions
in the city service, will they take
into consideration the fact that the
tendency of almost everything, eX-
cept salaries and taxes, have for
years been downward ?
An officer can today take, say
fifty dollars Of his salary, and buy
as many provisions or as much
clothing as he could have obtained
some years ago with a hundred
dollars.
But his salary is about the
same as it was before. Hence the
taxes, which are absorbed princi-
pally to pay salaries, must remain
up to a rate bordering upon Oppres-
sion.
From the vast thrOng who are
seeking positions it may reason
ably presumed that all the places
could be filled, by competent men
too, even if the pay should be re-
duced OnC-third.

Naval Promotions Coming.

BROOKLYN, y. ", Feb. 27.-The
principal gossip among the otfi-
GERS at the Navy Yard is in rela-
ton to the, promotion which will
follow the retirement Of Rear-Ad-
miral Greer tomorrow. Commo-
dore William A. Kirkland, acting
Rear-Admiral, in command Of the
European station, is next in line,
and will be No. 6 on the list Of
Rear-Admirals. Captain Francis
NJ. Bunce, Of the Board Of Inspec-
ton and Survey, will be No. 10 on
the list of COmmodores, and Com
mander Purnell F. Harrington, the
president of the Steel Board, will
be in order for No. 45 on the list Of
Captains. The recent retirement
of Commander John j. Brice and
the possible hitch in the case of
Lieutenant Commander Frederick
w. Croker leaves Lieutenant-Com-
manders Robert NJ. Berry and
Samuel w. Very next in order, and
the fact that Lieutenant James F.
Selfridge is on sick leave and will
probably be retired, places Lieu
tenants John M. Hawley, at pres
emit with the Detroit in the Asiatic
Squadron, and Thomas H. Stevens,
of the Yorktown, also in Asiatic
waters, on the list Of the next
