mit,
l missioner Harland will be 'interesting to f
all.property holderat' "The stamp duty
upon ale tae • of a furnished house should
' k be,calculated upon the annual rental val
ue of" the`' house unfurnished, with an
agreement stamp (five cents for each sheet
af,paper) in, addition for the furniture."
The politicians and the gossips are,
-keenly disappointed with Grant's decision
not, to make known his cabinet in ad
vance. The'Pennsylvanians are particu
larly vexed. . , Forney had softie good •ad
vice to give the Gelie.ral on .the subject,
' , and the friends of McPherson were:using
a gentle pressure &or his behalf. Senator
Cameron takes an independent position.
The Democrats pretend to like Grant's re
ply, but in "point , of Litt" they are trem
bling in their fears that the new adminis
tration shall be so popular as to . destrOy
theDemooracy. .
The receipts of revenue from whisky
' arefalling of again, owing to the dis
covery of new methods of fraud by; hich
the new law is evaded. The price has
-fallen from 95 to 70 cents '
while the tax
is (10,; and the old state of things is again
-promised. The new administration is
looked forward with more interest in
revenueclicles than anywhere else,and
the immediate appointment by Gneral
Grant of a- Commissioner of Internal
Revenue is looked upon as far more nec
essary than the immediate appointment of
a Secretary of the Treasury. The two
names most pviminently mentioned for
the position in public circles are .District
Attorney Tracy, of New York, and Con
gressman Delano, 'of Ohio.
In view of General* Grant's refuial to
come in contact with Presidenticihnion,
- the committee may not communicate with
-the latter relative to the ceremonies; but
htowever this may be, President Johnson
will probably relieve all parties of ember
reaming in the case by quietly repairing
at ten o'clock, March 4, to the press-room
adjoining (the Senate, and, according to
custom on the last day of the session„
there r,emain with his Cabinet untilhoon,
the hone when his official term expires, to
consider bills that may be presented for
his signature; If this''' Vaal course . he -
pursued, he will not therefore be a party
' to the procession- and other ceremonies
which will be in progress at the same
time in the streets of the city, and the
Committee and all other parties will thus
be relieved of the dreaded embarass
meat
Ile Joint Cemmittee on Ordnance con
demn the Rodman system of gun -making
adopted in the army, which, while par
tially successful in smooth bores, is held
to beentirely unreliable in rifles of large
caliber. Several of these guns have ex
ploded spontaneoesly.-in the foundery
while being finished,-.through'excessive
tension.* The navy solid cast guns, the
Committee think, are better as smooth ,
bores, but no better as, rifles. Experi
\
inents are recommended to determine
nn a reliable system of fabrication. -
he failure to secure better guns the
Committee think due to - the.influence of
fficers and inventors, who'have secured
t roo
the , afttigil , - af their ",own' inventions
without dile - regard 'thirieiit. - The re
port ' contains - considerable- tecony,
ind a large amount of technical ' rma

It is
, accompanied by - a bill which creates an
Ordnance Commission ,• composed of army

proposed to place the duty of

THE extraordinary and constantly in
creasing demand for iron and steel for
mechanical purposes, and the great im
portance that these should be of the best
possible quality, have led to the establish
itnent of a new scientific institution by
the ironmasters and others in the North of
England. It is proposed to call it "The
Institution of Steel and Iron," and the
business of the members will be the dis
cussion of all matters relating to steel and
iron; with the view of improving these
metals as far as possible. •

the unprecedented outburst of crime could

THE King of Prussia, shortly after the
close of the campaign of 180 e, conceived
an odd scheme with a view to the frater
,nization of the soldiers who had fought
iigaitist each other in that war. Large
delegations of Austrum % Italian, Prussian,
North and South German soldiers were
to meet at some central point in Germany,
and brilliant festivities were to take place
in their honor. • It is said that Francis
Joseph wasmt averse to the project, but
that his relations at the Austrian Court
strongly urged him to reject it, and that
Beust, as soon as he heard of it, gave the .
same adviceLtalb.e..Empero444llltag him
that a festival of this description would be
highly distasteful to France.
A sraTzwitem that two young , women
have made application to become mem
bers of the Cornell University, and that
lifi.CAiraell has inforined them that if
they present 'themselves next fall they
will be received, is , denied by the Ithaca
Journal, :which says that if these , two
ladies, .or any other two ladles, present
themselves next fall , for the purpose of
entering. the University they will meet
disappointment. No one has had any
authority, from Mr. ' Cornell to give cur
rency' to any such intimation. Ladies
will not be admitted next fall, nor for
many falls to come, if ever. • At present
the faeulty and trustees are nearly unani:
mous in their opinion that the admission
of women to the University is impracti
cable.
