A professor Of the Wesleyan University
claims to have discovered the bacillus of
''June" butter. There is a flavor about
the, butter made in June that is not pos
sessed by the butter of any other month
The professor says other buffers may
be inoculated with the bacilH and
become as sweet as the sweetest. and
as pure as the purest. Furthermore, flies
will not light on the inoculated butter.
The grip has again made its appear
ance in New York city. The complaint
has hardly yet assumed the nature of an
epidemic. though its victims are already
numerous. More or less of grip is de-
veloped with each succeeding january
thaiw' in northern cities, and the prob
abilities are that the thaw in New York
Is responsible for the sickness. Luckily
no grip or other illness followed the ex-
trene cold wave that swept over the
south in the closing days Of the last
month The cold was dry and inugora-
ting. and really did men ana women
more good than harm.

The oyster dealers of Baltimore think
they come as near feeling the financial
pulse of the public as any other class of
tradesmen. When times are good, people
20 in for oyster suppers and the concomi-
tants. When times are bad they take a
sandwich and a glass of beer. Last year
there was not great deal of money spent
for oysters, Notwithstanding the bvalves
were never fatter or in better flavor And
so far this year the demand has not i'm
proved much. Many Of the dealers have
called in their travelling men, and some
houses have already closed business for
the season. Orders are reported to have
dropped off 50 per cent. as compared with
one year ago.

six miles long. and will cost the Balti-

Camden Station shortly before noon to-
day. 1t was the Philadelphia and New
York fast freight to which a passenger
coach was attached for the accommoda-
ton of party of railroad and electric
experts.
A great cheer went up from the crowd
around the tunnel approach at Camden
Station when the train pulled out. and
the spectators realized that the tunnel
was at last doing something practical in
the way of transportation. Work has
been in progress on the tunnel for more
than four years. and its completion has
been expected for a long time.
II Is expected to have the electric ap-
paratus in position by April LIST. and the
electric motors at work pulling trains
through after that time. No steam-en-
gine will be allowed to enter the un-
derground passageway, which will be
kept brilliantly lighted and clear from
smoke.
The tunnel will be OF great value to
the Baltimore and Ohio road and the
travelling public, AS the ferrying of trains
across the bay at Canton will be done
away with, and passenger trains between
Washington and New York will save from
twenty TO thirty minutes on their present
schedule

llcitor-General Maxwell. OF the Depart
ment of Justice. has left the city, pre-
viously rendering his resignation to the

litely declined either TO affirm or to deny

ever, that the resignation of Mr.. Maxwell

cases now pending In the United States
Supreme Court.

20 bring the constitutionality of the tax
before the Supreme Court Immediately,
made Monday last by Mr.. Bristow. coun-
sci for the plaintiffs. ana acquiesced in
by Mr. Maxwell on behalf of the United
States, is said to have been the immediate
cause OF disagreement. but all the reasons
assigned for the disagreement come either
directly or Indirectly from Mr.. Maxwell
or his friends. as AttorneY-General Olney
declines absolutely TO discuss the subject.
Some friends OF the late Solicitor-Gene-
rails discredit the story OF disagreement
and say that the principal cause OF the
resignation was the iil-health of his law
partner. Mr.. Ramsay. OF Cincinnati, and
the urgent need OF Mr.. Maxweifs personal
attention TO the large law practice OF his
firm
