iJfcnry A. Parsons, Jr., - Editor THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1879. The Secretary of the Treasury, on January 14th, issued the eighty-first call for the redemption of 6-20 bonds. The call Is for $20,000,000. Pennsylvania's State Treasurer re ports that the public debt December 1 was $21,680,200, having been reduced during the fiscal year $1,008,193. The wife of a farmer of Norfolk county, Virginia, named Ilyslop, was on Saturday frightened to death, being chased by a horse while out in a field. It has been suggested that Presi dent Hayes Would perhaps dissapoint all applicants for the Berlin mission by transferring Kasson from Vienna to Berlin. This would be a promotion for Kasson, and, as the Vienna mission Is not so much sought after, it would not be so difficult to All it. It Is said at the State Department, Washington, that the Mexican Gov ernment has made arrangements for the payment of the third installment three hundred thousand dollars of the indemnity to American citizens, due this month. The previous install ments are being distribut6d. The Connecticut legislature met . in joint convention Jan. 0th and elected the republican state ticket as follows: Governor, Charles B. An drews, of Litchfield; lieutenant gov ernor, David Gallup, of Plainfield ; (secretary of state, David Torrance, of Norwald ; comptroller, Chauncy Howard, of Coventry. Mr. Henry C. Nort, who wrote the song. "My Grandfather's Clock," is reported as saying : "I have written a thousand or more songs, and one of the worst of them all has made mo famous in a small way. Some of the best things I have ever written have had a very limited sale, and a few Bongs on which I have spent the most time have never sold at all.'1 The Pittsburgh Telegraph says, In the first national platform adopted by tho Republican party, slavery and po lygamy were denounced as "twin relics of barbarism." The first of the twins went down in the bloody conflict which it brought upon tho country, and now, after a long contest, a legal . doom has been pronounced upon the other by the Supremo Court of the United States. The Court has decided that the anti-bigamy laws of Con gress, which prohibit polygamous marriages in Utah are constitutional. During the year 1878 the Pennsyl vania oil regions produced 15,188,015 barrels of crude petroleum. There were 3,000,000 barrels in stock at the commencement of 1878. Of the amount produced, 13,572,150 barrels were shipped from the region. Nearly two-thirds of this (9,523,909 barrels) was sent to foreign countries. In De cember, 1877, oil was worth $2,12 J a barrel at the well. During the past year it declined to 85 cents. Since July last it lias rarely been over $1 a barrel. The producers lost nearly $15, 000,000 in 1S78. At the close of the year there were 4,500,000 barrels on hand more than the demand called for. Yet every well in the region is kept producing to its full capacity- The Philadelphia Weekly Press says : . the death of Represenative Hartridge, of Georgia, is the third death since this session of Congress opened, and several Representatives are in a condition of greater or less danger. Mr. Hartridge was a member of the Confederate Congress during the war, and was at the close of a two term service at Washington. He de clined re-election. His chief public service was the preparation, last ses sion, of the adverse report of the ma jority of the Committee on the Judici ary upon the bill of Mr. Kimmel, of Maryland, for referring the Presiden tial title to the Courts. The ground taken was that the two Houses of the Forty-fourth Congress, having declared the result of the election, no subsequent Congress has power to re vise such declaration, nor can such power -be exercised by tho Courts of the United States, orauy other tribunal that Congress can create under the Constitution. The bill introduced in tho House by Mr. S. S. Cox, to provide for taking the tenth census, takes as a basis a bill prepared by Mr. Garfield, introduced last session. Some new and important features are incorporated, however, many of them being in accordance with the recommendations of General Walker, made hi his late conference with the Census Committee. One of the changes- proposed is that the Gov ernors of States and Territories shall nominate one or more Supervisors of Census for their respective States, and upon such nomination the Secretary of the Interior shall appoint tbein. If such nominations are not made by April 1, 1880, then the Secretary is to make the appoiutmont absolutely These Supervisors are to have general supervision of the census in their States, under the direction of tho Superinten dent of theCensus. Another principal feature of the bill is to induce the States themselves to take a eensus in 1886, by providing for the payment of 60 per cent, of the cost by the General Onverninent Other parts of the bill relate to the machinery for carrying the work on, and the course pursued in the ninth census is largely followed Mr. Cox says he believes the Joint Committee will accept this bill-with ery few material altewitioiis.. Washington Letter fFroM otir regular correspondent. Washington, D. C, January 8, 1879. People who have never lived in a largo city little know Hie phases of life to be daily seen there, arid even those who do live in cities, if their daily walk and conversation is Con fined to respectable society, have but little Idea of what is going on around them. The men and women whose days arc spent in seeking their own amusement and In the contemplation of peace and plenty, know little of the shifts and straits of those who barely exist by their wits. And when a cold snap comes on, like that through which Ave have just passed, there are many strange distressing sights to be witnessed by those Who look about them and some very funny things to be observed as well. Warm cloth ing is in demand at such a time, though there are plenty in every city who havn't got it. And then when old boreas whistles around the comer at such a terrific rate it is suggestive of something to keep tho inner inan warm, and then comes an increased desire for hot scotch and torn and jerry, the aroma of which floats In a most tantalizing way from the half open doors of sample-rooms on every corner. The man who draws his decanter of French brandy, and his fine old wines from a well filled cellar knows nothing about the dodges of the ''old bums" around town, who must beat a bar keeper to get even an "eye-opener." Agoodnatured manipulator of the vinous fluids who prides himself on being up to all the tricks of the bum ming fraternity was "done" by one of them the other morning, in a way that makes him hang his head in grief. While arranging the paraphernalia of the bar preparatory to the day's business, a moderately seedy bum ap peared at the counter, and in a business-like manner slapped his hand on the bur, wherein was heard the jingle of coin, and asked for a "leettle old rye." taking a drink which, in the i parlance of the knights of the roads, would be denominated a "snorter," he raised his hand from the counter and , disclosed a two-cent piece. "By jingo!" exclaimed the bum, "I thought it was a quarter ;"at the same time fumbling in his pocket for "change" that wasn't there. One look at the quiet smile lurking in the corners of his customer's mouth, and the sling maker realized that he was sold, and as the bummer slowly wended his way out put tho new trick away in the cavities of his memory. Theother morning a rather genteely dressed individual stepped up to the bar of one of our hotels, and after a slight remark about the incon venience of night travel in cold weather, borrowed a quarter to get shaved, which he would return as soon as the landlord opened the safe, where his valuables were locked up. The safe has not been opened yet. The art of getting three beers and enough crackers and cheese for a square meal for til'teen cents, has been reduced to an exact science by these chaps, and they all have a regular route. But recently an improvement has been made on this system by a tall cadaverous-looking individual habilitated something like Mr, BrocKlehurst in the play or ''June Eyre," a badge of mourning on his plug hat, and an old umbrella under his arm. When the barkeeper is busy he glides gently up to the counter, hangs his umbrella near the cracker and cheese bowl, and when his eyes are turned drops several fistsfull of crackers in his rain protector. In the same quiet and subdued manner he lays down his nickle tor a glass of beer and stalks out. The thing is done the umbrella contains crackers and cheese enough to lunch on the re mainiler of tho day. The extent of the tricks played in this line may be partly realized when it is known that every morning there awakens at least live hundred dry, impecunious chaps, thirsty for a dram, and who manage before the sun goes down to get one. There is no use in getting mad and kicking them out, for they are not only used to that, but alter their drinks would as soon be kicked out as not ; some of them rather, as it makes the feeling of warmth given by the dram extend further down their systems. I am not writing a temper ance lecture, though every story has its moral. The most practicable sugges tion I have seen in the direction of temperance reform is that of C. T. Campbell, who recomends the man who must drink to make his wife the barkeeper. Every time you want a drink pay her the regular price for it, and she will make enough oft' of every gallon you consume to buy a dress. "When you have become an inebriate, unable to support yourself, shunned and despised by respectable people, she will have money enough-to Keep you untill you get ready to fill a drunkard's grave.'' congress is at it again, rne wen informed politicians who aro always standing about the halls in great num bers, huve settled the question or an extra session, which they now say is to be helil. That is, tliey thuiK there is going to be so much difteranee between tho House and Senate, on the impor tant appropriation bills, that an extra session will be necessary. The theory is that the Democrats want it in order to get possession of the Senate offices, but that they will so manage matters as to throw the responsibility upon the Republicans. One object is to avert a great danger. If both Hayes and "Wheeler should die, the white House would be occupied by the Presi- ,1.... nHl.uUatl.itnnilH If Ij ll 01-.fnV important that a Democrat successor to Ferry should be elected as soon as possible. These posted politicians who are always ready to dispose of grave questions for either party on very short notice, say lurther that tho nrst thing the Senate will do after it becomes Democratic, will be to retire Vm. Pitt Kellogg to private life, on the ground that lie was admitted on the certificate of Packard who never was Governor of Louisiana. Another band of Indian chiefs are iu Washington. They are quartered at the Tremont house, where many curiosity seekers go daily to look at them. They are Utes, from the Los I'inoa agency iu Colorado, and came here under the pilatage of Ageut Kel ley, for the purpose of negotiating the sale of four miles square of their reser vation.
