Items From New York.
Dean Gaza-err .—Your occasional corre-
spondent from R. has been so unsettled. for
months that he has nOt found {convenient
opportuity for paying many epistOlary visits or
even receiving the regular visits of a friend
as highly esteemed as yourself. But the sight
your pleasant and familiar has awakened the
desire for a little chat this evening. which
I hope may not be unwelcome. 5 _
Yet of the many things to be laid of the.
life in this great city, what can one tell who
is only a sojourner here, that has not already
been told by the vigilant and ubiquitous re-
porter ?
One of the events of the week was the
opening of the Academy of Design for the»
oil color exhibition. The water colors had
been removed about two weeks before.
Your correspondent, through the kindess of
a. friend, was favored with an invitation to
attend the private view (on Monday); ofiered
to a-few supposed to be gentlemen 'of taste
and artistic interest, before the general open-
ing.
He therefore gladly improved the oppor—
tunity. And he would now be glad to com-
municate something of the pleasure he then
enjoyed, to all the family circle of the Ga-
zarra. But as I have not the faculty of
compressing a volume into a few lines or a
column and a half, I can only select a few
items. The collection is considered a very
fine one. A young artist friend whom I met
there in the evening, said that it was the
finest ever exhibited by the Academy. In
this I could not agree with him,as thebright
faces-of some of the-beautiful pictures hung
upon memory’s wall, , like oldétime‘friands
were still cherished in fend and admiring re.
membrance.~ , j; .g.
There are six hundred and sites: pictures,
coming from various parts of the country.
And I was told by. Mr. T. Addison Richhrds,
Secretary Of the National Academy, . that.
four hundred were rejected.
Yet after all I must confessthatthare were
no really great paintings there, lich‘Chnrchfs
"Heart of the Andes," croissants “Yo-
semite Valley?" The collection would hardly
compare with the old’Du'ss'eldOrf‘Gallery, or
even the Art Union of former days. There
were no great historical'r paintings, or 'any 1
indeed calculated to make a deep impression
on the mind.
Among the pictures which left a most
favorable impression on [my own mind were
three, viz., alandscapeby‘ :Cssilear, entitled
“A Summer's Day,”—‘a beautiful female
figure sitting in the edge of the fbrest with
her back against a high rock and her hand
near her mouth, 'in an attitude Of earnest at—
tention, and entitled “Echo,” by Henry A.
Loop, and a small but very fine marine view .
by Wm. F. DeHaas, entitled “Near South
West Harbor, Mt. Desert.” The principal,
feature of this was the surf breaking on the
shore and the mist and spray flying of from
the tops of the waves. Yet in my humble
opinion 'this little picture might well have
changed places in price with some larger and
more ambitious paintings at five times the
catalogue valuation.
There was especially'one bya widely known
artist that seemed to me altogther unworthy
of his talents. Had your correspondent been
‘ on the hanging committee, if received at all,‘
it would have been put in some obscure corner
pretty high up. " I ‘must confess 'it made me
feel somewhat indignant to see it marked '
$1,500. “What’s in a" name 1’" Money in an
artist’s pocket if he can dash of! a daub that
would hardly be received at allfrom another
man, and yet such a price -as that- To me,
at least, the little picture by dc Haas,» $300.
would be worth half a dozen such paintings.
In the evening the Ace?” was crowded,
apparently by‘the very eh of the city. It
reminded one of Centennial times in Memo-
ral Hall. There was not a very good oppor-
tunity to see the pictures. Yours truly, L.

Steering by Steam
A NEW YORK, April 2.—On Friday last Capt.
S. G. Martin’s apparatus for steering steam
vessels with a lever, was ready for use in the
tug boat Joseph Stickney, a large boat com-
manded by Charles Parisan,and Capt. Martin
went on his trial trip with Capt. Baulser of
the Union Ferry, a veteran ferryman. Thc~~
tug answered the lever to perfection. Capt.
Baulser was delighted. He said that the
pilots when they enter the ferry slips are too
lazy to pull the wheel over and let it run,and
hence the concussions with the sides of the
ferry slips, so annoying to passengers and so
damaging to property,but with the new lever
steering, any ferry boat may be steered as
straight as the cours‘é of a bullet. When the
Stickney started from Pier 6, North River,
her indicator showed a prcésure of thirty
pounds. Capt. Parissn. who stood at the
wheel, seemed to direct the movements of
the craft with his finger and thumb, so easily
was the steering lever moved. Near Fulton
Ferry the Stickney took on board It. Cornell
White, owner of the Roekaway steambosts
' Grand Republic, Columbia and Americas,
and he went as far as the Buttermilk Channel,
and was delighted with the invention. The
Stickney next ran up to several North River
piers and took on board a numberof steam-
boat captains and then went to Jersey City
and Hoboken. ~. .

The following statement was semi-ofiicially
Friday last. , ,
Refunding .the Public debt. ~
At three o‘clock '_ yesterday afternoon, the
subvptiona to the new four; per cent. loan
amounted to $6,502,750 for-the diy'. Shortly
after that hour the New York Bank of Com-
merce subscribed $40,000,000 and the First
National Bank of New York $19,000,000.
This amount was sufficient to wipe out the
wholcof 11185-301061]. Aeall was issued-
and got out about ten O’clock last night for
the balance of the 5—20‘s of 1867. The call
was for about 819,000,000, but owing to the
exchange in some instances of 5—20 bonds
ffl‘ four per cents instead of the direct pur-
time to give the exact 'amount of the call._.
When the four per cent. subscriptions had
amounted to the out-standing 520's of 1867
and 1868, Sherman issued the following cir-
cular :
Subscriptions to the 4 per cent. consuls
having been received to the full amount of
the 520 6 per cent. bonds outstanding, the.
circular of this department of the date of
January 1, 1879, inviting such subscriptions,
is rescinded. .
The $10 refunding certificates will be sold, ’
as heretofore, under the circulars of the dates
of Marchl2 and 26.
.The 4 per cent. consuls will hereafter be
sold ‘for the redemption of 10-40 bonds Of'
the act of March 3, 1864, upon the terms to
be hereafter prescribed.
The Secretary had the contents of this cir-
cular telegraphed to New York. ,Before it
had become known that subscriptt‘ofni to the,
four per cents had been stopped. additional.
suhcriptions to the amount of $50,000,000
million had been ofiered. Today it had not
become so generally known that no more .
subscriptions would be received, but that
several bids were made. After January first
last there was a decided increase in§thc de-
mand for four per cents. The fillingiof this
demand enabled the Treasury Department to
rapidly call in the 520's. During the month
of January there was calls to the amfountiot
$160,000,000. In February the calls were
for $100,000,000. In March the bonds fall]
on the market to below par, which éhecked‘
the demand :for-thenrgomcwfhat, but the
department called 11:“ 08099000005201 during
that month. In addition to theisuhs'criptions
of yesterday the fleammenti'had previously
mads‘a call for 310,000,000 during the pres-
ent month. Yesterday's bond call completed
.the refunding of the 1867’s into four per
cents;- The conversion of 1865's was com-
pleted in November last. To day, a call for

In 1881 the six per cents of 1881 will be re-
deemable. They amount to $75,000,000.
The five per cent. funded loan is also redeem-
able in that year. At pressint the ten-forties-
are the only bonds redeemable. : , ‘
If Secretary. Sherman should sell fOur per
cents. to refund the" ten-forties under existing
laws, the cost of the transaction would make
quite a hole in the saving to be effected there
by. As the law now stands settlements for
four per cents. are made eyer'y; ninety days.
The interest continues on the bonds until the
ninety days is up. In refunding the 1040‘s,
the difference inthc interest would be only
one percent. There would thus be quite an
inroad into the saving effectedig'i‘he gSecrc-

Miraculous Cure.
“I WANT EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD TO
KNOW IT.” ‘
OAK Bnurr‘s, Martha’s Vineyard, Sept. 1. 1877.-
It is with a happy heart I write these few lines
toyon, and I want everybody in" the.v'vhole world
to know what your great SULPHUR BITTERS
have done for me. Fifteen years ago I caught a
‘violeut cold riding in a ram storm. ' The next day
I was sick shed with the Typhoid fcver,and upon
recovery from thatntwo large ulcers broke out,
one on each leg, which kept continually discharg-
ing. 1 have been attended by the best doctors in
the country, and at the Bellevue hos ital the doc-
tors wished to take one leg off. othin that I.
took helped me and I made up my min to die.
and did not care 11 I did. for a more miserable be-
ing than I could not be. My face was covered
with biotehes and scales. and my body with erup-
tions. Ihave been wheeled around for the not
six " year and spent thousands of dollars. t
spring Dr. Spencer advised me to go to the sea-
s ore, and perhaps the change would do me good
dly grew worse, an
my‘wife and'f‘riends gave me up. On the first of
July Mr. Moorevfsited me and brought me a bot-
tlc of our SULPHUR BITTEBS for me to take;
I told 1m I would not, I had no faith in anything.
He was so persistent in his demands and mywi s
also entreated me to try it. which I did, and to
my unbounded joy in a few days I be an to feel
better, my appetite rm raved, and foo began to
look good to me. My owels began to get re -
lar. a thing I had not known-for 15years. he
eruptions left my body, those disquieting ulcers
on my legs began to cease discharging .and grow
smaller every. da . and now.,thanks to a merciful
God. I am well. can now walk three miles with-
out fatigue. and I have gained in weight'twenty-s
eight booties, undone ulcer is perfectly cured and
the other ll rapidly closing up, and is now l10'
larger than a pea. May God’s blessing rest on
you and our wonderful SU LPllUft BITTE its. is

When bed time comes, and curtains fall,
And round I go the doors to lock,
Ere lamps go out my wife doth call,
“Remember, dear, to wind the clock."
When boots are Off, and for the day
All irksome cares seem put to rout.
I hear wife’s voice from dreamland say,
“Be sure you put the kitten out.”
When stretched between the sheets I lie,
And heavy lids have ceased to wink,
From trundle-bed there comes a cry,

The funniest sight that ever was seen ;
The chippy-bird bellows with joyful- glee
To see the buds on the gooseberry tree;
The old mule, too, cliirps his glad mellow

Denoting that warm weather will soon be

So let one and all now join in the lays,
And chuck up our hats for the bright

The regiment was ordered out for target
praptice, and to the unspeakable disgust of
the instructor the soldiers made bull’s-eyes
on barns and (centres on the planet Uranus.
“Gimme that rifle, you cross-eyed son of an
old smooth-bore Tower musket,” yelled the
instructor, “and watch me.” '
He fires and misses the target, the bullet
striking about two hundred yards short and
a quarter of a mile to the right'
“That’s the way you gnwks do,” says the
instructor, calmly, putting in another cart-
ridge; “never make any allowsnce for wind-
age-pay no attention to your elevation—

He fires again and sends the bullet over
