DEAR GAZETTE :jjdl'he attendance at the
reunion of the Army of the Cumberland, in
this city, on the 19th and 20th insts., prom—

the U. S. Supreme Court, and all the heads
of the departments have accepted the invi-
tations to attend. The statue of Gen. Thomas

An Important Case Decided. '
The somewhat celebrated case of Khtland
as. Hotchkiss, relating to the taxation of
mortgages on real estate outside of the State,
has at last been settled by decision of the
United States Supreme Court. The casein
question is that of a citizen of Woodbury
who protested against the execution of the
State law taxing money loaned on mortgage
of real estate in Illinois. The case was car-
ried to the Supreme Court in this State,
where a decision was rendered against the
plaintiff, who appealed to the United States
Supreme Court, where the case has been
pending for some time. The final decision
was rendered on Monday, the opinion being
written by Justice Harlan, and sustains the
view taken by the State court. The decision
is that the locality of the debt is not affected
,fbr taxable purposes by the fact that it is
vsleourcd by mortgage upon real estate in
another State. So far as the State is con-
cerned the debt is located at the creditor’s
residence and is subject to the State laws
obvering such cases. The disCretion of the?
State as to the taxation of such‘ property is
not subject to Federal supervision or control,
because such taxation violates no provision
of the Federal constitution. This decision
is of great importance both to the State and
to many of its wealthy citizens who own
Western mortgages. , A very large amount,
probably amounting to millions of dollars, is
loaned by citizens of this State upon western
securities. and the decision of this case has
been looked forward to with much interest.
It now becomes, or rather remains, a ques-
tion of individual honesty in making returns
number of new ties have been laid the pan
year, and a number of tons of new rails.
The old board of directors Was re-electcd
and the board then reelected the former
officers, 'as follows: President, Henry W
Buel; Vice-President and Treasurer, H. R
Colt; Secretary, William Deming; Superin—

Look Sharp.
A mrrespundcnt who has had opportuni
ties for examining into the facts, writes us,
that during years past the City and Borough
have not always used for highway pur-
poses the full amounts allotted them by the
Selectmen out, of the Town Treasury. . If
this be true, our' newly elected 139.3"
must look aulittle sharper ni’tcllf‘f‘i"?E if”
thrifty corporations, for no such injustice
should be done the town tax payers.

From theannual report of the New York
New Haven and Hartford road to the Massa-
chusetts state boardlt appears that the total
income in 1879 was $3,933,595.14, and the
total expenses $2,241,935.33._ Ten per cent.
dividends were paid this year the same as
last, amounting to $1,550,000, and $130,000
was also paid for interest. The following
are some of the items of the report: ' Passen-

While the small wits have been making
poor jokes about Naval Secretary Thomp-
son, he has been performing the unpre-
cedented feat of handing over. to the treas-
ry department $1,500,000 as the unexpended
balance of appropriations for the navy de-
partment. His entire appropriation was
only a little over $13,000,000. Such an ce—
currence has never been heard of in the his-
tory .of the government, and, for twenty
years, Congress has 'never met without re-
ceiving an application for an appropriation
to cover deficiencies in :naval expenses.
Meanwhile the secretary has been national-
izingour navy by inducing American boys
to enlist in it.

gfiat the six eggs would have prodnccd'so
many chicks, from which would have issued
'so many hens; that with the product of
these innumerable fowls he would have
bought a farm, which in so many years
would have yielded so much money, which

owned by A, who bound it up with cotton
soaked in oil. The wrappings take fire, she
takes refuge in the midst of the cotton bales,
and the whole property isdestroyed; where—

his leg which caused the conflagration. The
court promptly decides against them with
costs, and orders them to pay A for the
cation and bear their own losses on the
ground that the cat couldn’t walk on the
broken leg, so that it was the three sound
legs which carried her into the cotton.

Superintendent Harrington, of Bridgeport,
declares that while teachers shouldn’t have
srt tinits for delivering lectures with weari-
some platitudes on the importance of prac-
tising the cardinal virtues, they should take
advantage of the everyday experiences of the
school room and play ground to illustrate the
evds of wrong doing the benefits of right
action and noble conduct. The teacher who
Is truly a teacher will always do this; the

_ The following comparison shows the rela-
tive superiority of the United States to other
countries in the production of wheat. Eng-
land has 2,890,000 acres of wheat this year,
and Australia supplements this with 2,500,000
acres. With the exception of Canada these
two countries contain all the wheat tilled by
the English-speaking race. The United States
has the rest—33,000,000 acres and over. All
Europe, including Russia, has barely 40,000,-
000 at a rough estimate based on the wheat
production of the different countries. This
country alone has nearly as large an aeer

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. .
lst. Our “PATENT Ixsmn BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
.where they are at ”all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and. thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock Our safes on the
comlu'nation after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP” consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a. thumb-screwmln'ch
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four—wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR—WHEEL Locxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED INSIDE,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Quffl's beinvdamp. All corners of the Safes
are secumdwrth angle Iron, union, “all,“
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre~
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES Instead Of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and. the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fin: we published
a. complete list of our: Safes exposed, those that
failed,to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal—
lenged. our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist usin dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, aud we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls, 1
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,.
and unequalled forits excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a. safe to keep that which may
have cost a. lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. - In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

Running Down a Thief.
They do some things more thoroughly in
France than they are done in other countries.
The remark has frequently been made in a
somewhat different form,and its truth is very
well illustrated by the following story, told
in the Paris Temps:—One morning in June
last the Marquise de Saint Sauveur entrusted
to her dressmaker, Mme. Montandon, some
magnificent Malincs and Alcncon laces,
which were to play an important part in a
new toilet. Mme. Montandou took charge
of the precious package, entered a fiacre,
made several visits, returned home, and left
on the seat of the carriage the goods which
had been entrusted to her. She had neglected
to take the number of the driver of the fiacrc.
Behold, then, our dressmaker sorely perplex-
ed. She made a search for the lost laces,
but with no result, so returned to the marquise
and made a confession of her carelessness.
It was a loss of 4,000 francs. ,
Some weeks? passed. Mme. de Saint Sau-
veur departed for Trouville. On the 30th of
July Mme. Montandon received from her this
laconic telegram :
“Come immediately." '
She takes the train and debarks on the
coast of Normandy. The marquise awaits
her.
“My laces are here.”
“Here 1”
“A tradeswoman who has come to spend
the season offered yesterday to sell then; to
me."
“To you i”
“Naturally she does not know that they
belong to me ; she values them at 900 francs.”
“Nine hundred francs for chifons worth
four thousand i "
“The husband of that dealer is established
on the Rue de Castiglione, in Paris. He is a
German. His name is Woenitz. I am well
guarded against showing the least surprise. I
have said 1 will consider the matter. You
now return to Paris. Institute an inquiry.
Learn how my laces were found in the pos-
session of Woenitz.
Mme. Montandon returns by express. She
rushes to the commissioner of police and tells
her story. The court is opened. The magis—
trate calls before him the German of the Rue
de Castiglione.
“0f whom had you the laces of which
your wife is possessed P”
“Of a pcrfumer, Mme. Dortet. I paid her
520 francs.”
The judge causes Mme. Dortet to come
into court.
“th0 gaveiyou the laces ?"
“A dealer in curiosities, M. Chambrol, of
the avenue de la Mothe-Piquet. He offered
. me the lot and I concluded the bargain."
M. Chambrol appears in his turn.
,“How did you procure the laces 1"
“They were sold to me for 80 francs by a
dealer in second-hand goods, M. Levy."
An order to appear is sent to M. Levy.
"You have sold laces to one of your neigh-
bors.” ,
“Yes, for 80 francs. I bought them for
20 francs from one Dame Roux, whose ad-
dress is here.” .
An agent is sent for Madame Roux and
brings her.
ijou have received 20 francs for a mixed
assortment of point d’Alencon and point de
Malines worth 4,000 francs. Explain to us
the way in which these goods came into your
possession.”
T3 “My husband gave them to me, Monsieur
l
udge.”
“And who is your husband?”
“He is driver of a fiacre." _
The thief had been discovered. Roux and
his wife answered for their misdoing. The
correctional tribunal sentenced them each to
four months’ imprisonment.
One day, childrén, when the menagerie
had been quiet for a long time the hycna
was looking so lonesome and desolate that
the elephant said. he reminded him of “the
bowl of wilderness" every time he spoke.
“You can’t prove it” said the hyena. “You
pellican,” said the elephant, which was
neither good English, good grammar nor
good fun, and nobody laughed but the ele-
phant. “I gnu you’d say that,” said the
'possum. “Hello, old Tail bolt,” said the
elephant, “don’t you know it’s no conse-
quence.what you think in this show ?” The
bison interfered here and said the ’possum
might not be a very harte-beast, but he had
aright to speak if—” “Well, well, 'old
but‘r‘aloloafer,” laughed. the elephant, "I
reckon you’re here as the bisonification of
justice,are you, you old bison of a gun. I’d
like to see anybody pull the wool over your
eyes.” The bay mule down in the corner
here remarked that he’d like to see anybody
pull the wool on the end of his tall, but no—-
body let on they heard him.‘ Then when
the eagle tried to say something the elephant
asked him if he hadn’t just got OH a Sixth
ward political transparency, and then said
he thought he remembered seeing him ona
barber’s pole. Then the bear spoke up and
said they’d had enough of that nonsense,
and the elephant told him he'd better haul
himself inside the hat store before it rained.
and asked if soft felt would be much worn
this winter. And then finally got the
monkey to crying by.calling him Mr. Dar-
win and tellng him he looked enough like a
man to run for Congress. And in a little
while he had the monagerie in such an up-
rain that the lights had to be put out and
the people sent home. Land yes, children,
the trouble they used to have with theele -
phant no tongue can tell. He was always
such a tease.—Hawlceye.
No use trying to rouse any enthusiasm in a.

Mr. Longfellow and Mr.- W. D, Howells
are, it is reported,writing together for Mr.
Lawrence Barretta play upon the story of
Captain Miles Standish.
A man exhibited at a fair at Montpelier,
Vr., three packages of butter from the same
churning, but ditfcrcntly marked, and got
first premium on one, second on another, and
the third was condemned as poor.
A bald headsd Professor, reproving a
youth for the exercise of his fists said, “We
fight with our heads at this college.” The
young man reflected a moment and then re-
plicd, “Ah,I see; and you batted all your
hair off.”
Experiments in the use of oil for fuel are
being constantly carried on, and the claim is
madethat it has already proved itself efficient
even In puddling iron. At Titusville, Pa.,
there is a furnace making thirty tons of iron
a day with thirty barrels of oil, doing the
work of forty tons of coal.
Old Mr. Hazlett, of Oregon, thought he
was going to die. and in order that his heirs
should have nothing to quarrel over he burn—
ed $22,000 In greenbacks. He didn’t die,
after all, and now when his heirs see him
sawmg wood to earn his bread they naturally
feel that they are ahead of him.
If a jury-man is not to be allowed to see
anyone but the other jurors and the sheriff
during the progress of a trial, we should like
to know how he is to inform his friends
which way to bet. It’ll get to that pass that
it’s no object toaman to sit on a jury if
things continue in this way.——Boston Post.
There is something grimly funny in the
trap set for New York lottery dealers by An-
thony Comstock,who sent them decoy letters
signed “U. Arcautc," “I. L. Ketharn,” “B.
Jolly," etc., and it adds to the humor of the
case that they fell Into the trap and are no
longer jolly.
