Henry C, Corbin, U.S.A., to accept a position in the world’s Columbian commission. The resolution was op- osed by Mr. Rogers of Arkansas, ir.

For some unexplained reason Treasury offi- cers are disposed to be very secret and myste- rious with regard to today’s silver transactions and refuse absolutely to give out any informa- tion with regard to offers for the sale of silver bullion to the government which may have been received by the department today under the circular of August 1. It is probable, however, that if any purchases are made today that fact will be made public about 4o'clock this afternoon. ‘The director of the mint said this afternoon that the department will during the afternoon announce the Loudon price of silver, but will not under any circumstances let the public know the rates paid by the government for its purchases, that is, provided any are made today. One of tho Worst Thieves in the City. This afternoon in the Police Court James Lockwood. alias William Townsend, colored, was placed on trial charged with tho larceny of a pair of shoes anda dozen eggs. Police- man Slack told Judge Mills that the prisoner Was one of the worst thieves in the city. “He has been in the penitentiary, jail and work house,” added the officer.” “Did you ever see me in the work house?” asked the prisoner, who did not think that the other prisons reflected on his character.

From the Detroit Fres Press, There is hardly a day but that somo man comes down to take his first view of the ocean, and it is always interesting to watch him, Most of them manage to conceal a great ceal of their surprise on first beholding the boundless ex- panse and the white-crested breakers, but your real old farmer is no dissembler. One came down the other day who was seventy-tour years oid, and who was accompanied by his wife, al- most as old, and three sous. ‘The five stood in arow ou the hotel veranda and gazed at the rolling deep for fully five minutes before a word was spoken. Then the old man turned to his wife and said: “Well, Sarah, what do you think of it?” “I believe it’s bigger’n our whole farm,” she repiiod. “Bigger! I guess it is! Hain't she purty? T've allus heard and read of the ocean, and here itisatlast.

From the New York Star. “I have found the checkiest swindle of the age,” said George Lord. Mr. Lord isa drum- mer who keeps his eyes open when out on the road and is greatly interested in matters per- taining to food adulteration. “It is wood flour,” he continued, “Flour actually made of wood and used largely for the purpose of adulteration. It was at Mount Pleas- ant, on the little Ulster and Delaware railroad, that I first saw the mill. White beech trees are used. The wood hasno flavor or colorand is hard and dry, The bark is peeled off aud the logs put onacarriage,which forces them against a cut- ting machine shaped like a pencil sharpener, ex- cept that it five or six knives instend of one. These knives revolve at the rate of from 200 to 300 revolutions a minute and the log is soon cut into fine shavings, After these are thoroughly dried they are put into a hopper and ground the same as wheat or corn, ‘The flour comes out as fine and fragrant as from fine wheat, and is put in bags without any mark- ing on. except a tag with the atidress, and sent to New York. Where they go here I don't know, but I learned from a workman at the mill that there is a pretty big sale for the staff. He said that part of it was used as paper stock and in the preparation of lincrusta walton. That is the ostensible purpose for which it is made, but the workman told me that a good deal of the stuff went into the hands of con- tractors for furnishing Indian rations, and that considerable of it also went into the cheap breads sold in the Italian and Hebrew districts in the lower part of the city.” +00 Too Much Familiarity.

Veazey, one of the interstate commerce commission- ers, to the office of com- mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re- pubdlic seems to be an assured fact at Boston today. A year ago at the Milwaukee mec ting many of the delegates indicated by their votes @ preference for bim and he was then quite unanimously supported by members of Grand Army posts of New England. Judge Veazey is a native of New Hampshire and has his fiftieth rear. ‘eo was educate the famous training school, Phil- lip’s Exeter Academy, graduated at Darimouth College with honor, and is one of its present beacon trustees; graduated also at the Albany Law School and, taking up his residence at d, Vt., was admitted to the bar of that state in 1960. Upon the breaking out of the war of the re- belliou he enlisted as a private in the third Vermont volunteers; was made captain of com- any A, and rapidly promoted to major and ‘ieutenant colonel of that regiment, attaining the latter rank in the summer of 1861. This was the regiment of Gen. “Baldy” Smith, afterward one of the famous generals of the war.and to whom is entitled the credit of saving the Army of the Cumberland by a _ cleverly-executed mancuver by which Brown's Ferry fell into the hands of the Union forces and a new line of Communication between the army and its base was affected. Between Gen, Smith and Judge Veazey there has always been the greatest intimacy, their friendship being cemented by service in the same military family. In 1862 Judge Veazey was made colonel of the sixteenth Vermont regiment, and as the commander of that regiment won great credit, his regiment forming a part of the command of Gen. G. J. Stan- nard, which not only checked the famous Longstreet charge on the last day at Gettys- burg, but annihilated the division of 5 Pickett, who commanded the advance line of the charging column. Upon the muster out of his regiment Judge Veazey returned to the practice of his profes- sion, bei associated am business for awhile with Secretary of War Proctor.

He has been an active member of the Grand Army; was the post commander of Roberts Post of Rutland, Vt, at ‘its organization in 1867, has been department commander of that state and was judge advo- cate general on the staff of Judge uy when he was the commander-in-chief in 1887-58. He has given his earnest attention to the affairs of the order and has attended its grand encamp- ments almost without exception since the or- ganization. His speech at Milwaukee last year received wide-spread attention from the public press and was universally commended. He has brought to the discharge of his duties as one of the interstate commerce commission- ers the training of the best years of his life and his experience as one of the judges of the supreme court of Vermont. and has won the respect and esteem of all who, in the transac- tion of official business before the commission, have been brought in contact with him, CONFOUNDING THE COMMITTEES. People Who Think the Committce has Charge of District Appropriations. Many people have an idea that the com- mittee on the District of Columbia is the author and guardian of the District appro- priation bill, and do not realize that this bill takes its chances along with many others in the appropriations committee. During the time in which the appropriation bill for the District was being prepared, it was almost a daily occurrence for delegations to congre- gate in the District committee room for the purpose of making protests against the items in the bill, and even now letters and ap- plications are received by the District com- zaitioe asking for information and copies of the bil DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. THAT THOUSAND DOLLARS CAN'T BE USED. In the District appropriation biil for lust year there was an item of 1.000 for the improve- ment of Howard avenue, Mount Pleasant. This money, however, was never applied, as the road for which it was intended did not need any im- rovement, and the appropriation was evi- ently made by mistake. It was thought that the appropriation would lapse, but another question arose with the passage of the new ap- propriation bill which made the application of this money probable. It was the provision made for the improvement of 17th street ex- tended. In the a of I7th street it was thought probable thatsome work would be necessury at the intersection of Howard avo- nue and 17th street, and a contract was accord- ingly made for Howard avenue, with the pro- vision, however, that if the controller objected to it the contract was to be void. The con- troller has decided, holding that the contract is void in view of the fact that an appropria- tion must be used during the fiscal year for which it was intended. ——_— J/ you are interested in the protection of human Uife sign the protest against the Atkinson bill, and sce that your neighbor does, too. cine An East Washington Shooting Case A young negro named Alexander Campbell plead guilty in the Police Court this afternoon to a charge of shooting at Jas, Collins with in- tent to kill him, He also plead guilty to a charge of carrying a pistol. Tho affair took place in East Washington yesterday afternoon. ‘The negro had eome words with Mr, Collins, who is an elderly man, and fired one ineffective shot at him. Campbell was committed for the action of the grand jury for the shooting and fined $25 or sixty days for carrying the pistol, Over the ’Phone. From the New York Sun. An amusing story is told of the early days of the telephone by one of tho first subscribers of the Chicago exchange. One day on answering the call he discovered that the talker at the other end of the line was one of the promi- nent society ladics of the south side, who was under the impression that she was talking to her butcher. “What do you mean,” she said, “by sending me such a roast of beef ‘as that of yesterday?” “I asked her what was the matter with it,” said the nar- rator of the story, “and she replied that it wasn't fit for a dog to eat. I sailed into her right there, saying that I had more trouble about her trade than that of all my other cus- tomers combined. I told her that she not only did not knowa good piece of beef when she saw it, but that she did not know how to prepare it, avd that she didn't know how to eat it after it was pre- pared, Ofcourse she rang me off, and I went to my desk and rolled over with laughter, In afew days I occasion to go into the butcher's shop and I asked casually, ‘Does Mr. —— trade bere now?’ mentioning the name of the husband of the lady who had talked tome over the ‘phone. ‘No, sir,’ the butcher replied. ‘He came in here and said that I had insulted his wife over the telephone. I tried to explain. but he wouldn't have it, So I have ordered the con- founded thing to be taken out of here. I was afraid of it in the first. place and told the fellow it wouldn't work.

The most remarkable balloon ascension on record was made in 1794 by Blot and Gay Lussac of Paris, By this euterprise they en- dowed science witha series of new and im- portant facts, questionable before that time, as they carried with them a complete set of suitable apparatus and, moreover, an un- surpassed knowledge of observations and ex- periment. ‘They ascended to a height of 13,000 fect xud observed that at 8.000 or 9,000 feet the animals they had taken with them in order to observe the effect of therarified air and cold upon them did not appear to suffer @ny incoa- venience. in the meantime the pulses of the two ex- perimenters were much accelerated; that of Gay Lussac, otherwise always slow, sixty-two beats per minute, was eighty, and that of Blot, naturally rapid, seventy-uine beats per min- ute, was one hundred aud eleven, At a height of 11.000 feet a pigeon was liber- ated. It dropped down, whirling through the air as if it had been a stone. The air was too thiu and too rarefied to enable it to fly. Three weeks later Gay Lussac went up alone and attained a height of 22,000 feet (4 1-6 miles) or 2,000 fect higher than the top of Chimborazo | mountain. The barometer was only 13 inches high; the thermometer 18° Fahreuheit below j the freezing point, while at the surface of the | ground it was 80°. He left the court yard of the Conservatoire des Arts et Metlers, in Paris, and, after an xerial voyage of six hours, de- scended near Loucn, 100 miles distant, ‘The result of this ascension on Gay Lussac’s health was very injurious, particularly by want of air for respiration, combined with the sud- den cold, but chiefly by the absence of the accustomed pressure. At the extreme height of 22,000 feet his iace aud neck were swollen enormously, his eyes protruded from his head, blood ran from his lungs by vomiting; in short, his system received « shock from which he never fully recovered during the rest of his life, — na Range of the Thermometer Today.
