Washington, September 10.—A curious
difficulty has arisen in the way of success
ful inauguration of the Bartholdi statue
and that is a doubt, as to the power of tii '
mesidont to invite the nartiidnatln
president to invite the participation of
official representatives of the French mi
tiou, without which the ceremonies
■would be comparatively meaningless and
absurd. In the case of the Yorktown cele
bration the president was expressly rc-
quested to invite the representative's of
the French and German na
tions to participate, and special
committees of both houses of congress
were appointed to be present. Nothing of
the kind hRS been done in this case. The
sundry civil bill was signed August 1, a
few days before the president lett for his
vacation. A request was duly forwarded
to him that ho authorize Invitations to be
extended to representatives of the French
nation to take part In the inauguration of
the Bartholdi statue. He telegraphed from
the Adirondacks that he could And no
authority in the law for taking such a step.
In this dilemma recourse was had to the
nection in New York. Probably Dr. Hall's
church, which was founded by the Alex
ander family, is the chief citadel of clients
and lawyers in the city of New York; some
Ot the judges, like Vanborst, get both their
law and gospel from Dr. Hall’s sermons.
A Hueeesstul new tirm In New York is that
of Dillon & Sway no. Dillon was
a notable United States bulge
i west of the Mississippi river, whose
I Knowledge of railroad law attracted Jav
! and others, who desired him to go
to New ^ ork and nerve t hem. He resigned
JJ ,U * wont into business with Wager
£ way no, the eldest son of the late Judge
« ? wa *V K ‘> of Ohio, who was on the supreme
. bench at Washington. They nrohabiv

xix unvmiim itbUUlOC WHO IJttli LU mC
joint resolution of February 22,1877, which
authorized the president to accept the Bar-
UUtiiuiidVU CUV, HU (U)GCLIb I ne car*
tholdi statue, “when presented by citizens
of the French republic, and upon the com
pletion thereof he shall cause the same to
be inaugurated with such ceremonies as
will serve to testify the gratitude of our
people for this expressive and felicitous
remembrance of the sympathy of the
citizens of our sister republic.”
It is argued that this original resolution
places an obligation upon the president to
see that the statue “is suitably inaug
urated.” and to do this he must invite the
donors. It is also maintained that the
very appropriation of $56,500 for the cor-
emonies contemplates the entertainment
of thirty official French guests, who must
by invited by some one in the name of the
United States. Secretary Bayard is be
lieved to favor this view, but a decision is
to be postponed until the president returns
and a cabinet meeting be held upon it.
Meanwhile the day in October when the
statue is to be accepted is near at hand.
R/&LWAY affairs.
The largest Earnings Ever Reported fertile Sum
mer Months.
The earnings of the railroads tell their
own story. There never was a time when
so many railroad corporations in this coun
try were making regular stated returns of
their income. When the leading financial
journals fiist began to make reports month
by month, it was only under great pressure,
jand there never would have been such a
general showing iiad it not been for the
English stockholders who demanded it.
Many and many a time have the earnings
of American roads been cabled to England
and then cabled back again for no
other reason than that the English
bankers demanded what American
bankers are afraid to ask, and when
the information was forthcoming they
gave it out. To-day the majority of the
mileage of American railroads is repre
sented in the reports of earnings that are
given out monthly, both gross and net,
and the railroads that make weekly re
turns have very nearly a majority of the
mileage. Look ut the returns, as they
have come in during the past week. The
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe had been
running beliind-hand, but in the first
month of the second half year it shows a
gain of 10 per cent, in the gross and 23 in
the net earnings. Some time ago there
was talk about the Chicago, Burlington
aud Quincy increasing its expenses so much
that 8 per cent, dividends would become a
thing of the past, and the reduction wpuld
be gradual until it reached 5 per cent.
During the first half of the year the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy hardly held
its own, for with an increased mileage the
receipts were only a trifling amount
greater than they had been during the
same period of last year. In July, how
ever, corn and wheat were shipped so
heavily that the company gained over 30
per cent gross, and the net earnings were

Portland, Me., September 10.—Capt.
Vir* 0 "■ Jewett, of the schooner George
'* . Cashing, thinks that he experienced on
the I,e Have banks the earthquake that
prostrated Charleston. He says that the
appearances at that time indicated a high
wind, but all was quiet, when suddenly,
almost without warning, a black wall
seemed to rise on the water and a mighty
wave came rolling in that fairly lifted the
schooner on its crest to a height that he
never before knew a wave to reach. Then
the schooner went down. “It was like
going over a bank,” Capt. Jewett
says, and the ship was burled in the
foam below. Emerging from this wave
with sails torn from aer, and with the
crown-work of the topmast gone, the
schooner encountered a second wave, but
nothing to be compared with the first. A
terrific gale followed. A sailor says that
he happened to look ahead just as the
great wave came iu sight. There was a
little wind, he says, and the tremendous
mass of water ahead looked so like a great
hill that he cried “breakers ahead,” the
next moment the schooner striking against
tlie seeming clilis and was lifted to the top
of the wave; then he comprehended what
had happened.
Evarts’ Kloiiuenee.
Gath, in Philadelphia Times.
I asked how many members of the New
York bar there might be in vain; opinion
says probably 10,000. The head of this bar
few can indicate, though it may be Joseph
Choate, of Mr. Evarts’ firm, lie is the son
of Rufus Choate, and his personal charac
ter contributes much to his legal standing.
Mr. Evarts probably receives the largest
fees in the city for a personal ap
pearance, unless Mr. Conkling be
excepted. Evarts’ power is in the
to see through a case after
67 per cent ahead of the same month last
year. The iron trade aud the ore traffic
have received a stimulus that is making
glad the hearts of those who
own stock in the railroads run
ning up into the northern part of Minne
sota, for the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and
Western is earning 80 or 90 per cent, more
than it did during the same period of last
year. The other granger roads will hardly
match the earnings of the Burlington and
Quincy, but the St. Paul gained 17 per
■cent, during the last week anil 13 for the
month, and the Northwestern, which has
an important line into the ore district, 23
per cent, for the week and 19 for the
month. The Northern Pacific opens its
new year with an advance of 3S per cent, in
the gross for the last week in August and 19
for the mouth, and the St. Louis and San
Francisco, without handling a pound of
through freight to the coast, piles up the
gross 40 per cent., aud for the month _ is 2S
per cent., ahead of last August. This is the
story for all the roads, save the Union
Pacific, whose small gain does not change
the percentages for the first half oi the
year. There is a surplus, however, of more
than half a million, which assures a sur
plus at the end of the year sufficient to pay
3 or 4 per cent, on the stock.. Sixty roads
gain 14 per cent, in the third week of
August, and nine gain 16 per cent, in the
fourth week. All railway managers are
satisfied that the improvement will con
tinue. , .
The amount of traffic is something ab
normal, and though the rates are low they
more than cover the cost, and enough busi
ness is offering to keep iu constant activity
all the ears and locomotives which the
company has. The St. Paul never had so
many cars in use as it has now, and the
§ rices of rolling stock are stiffening every
ay. There *s not a car shop in the coun
try which is not working on full time; not
one wh ! eb is not behind-hand on its orders.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has three of lour shops, besides the great
works at Altoona, but it has been
compelled to order 6000 ears Ifrom other
Works, and though they come in at the
rate of forty or fifty a day, they are put on ;
clairvoyance
it has been prepared, and" present it so
that it is equally clear to both judge and
jury. I once knew n client ivho paid
Evarts $5000 to go before a congressional
'ommittee. The man was full oi his case,
but Evarts seemed to be paying no atten-
j talking about him-
tiou, but rather to be _
self. He borrowed a few pamphlets and
asked one or two questions languidly. The
client went to the committee room all
wrought up with apprehension. He came
back and said to me: “You had ought
to have been there to-day. You missed
a wonderful instance of the power of
that little fellow to drink in our case and
distill it.” Here the client filled up with
tears. Said I: “What is the matter?”
Said he: “I never knew how badly we
had been treated before.” Evarts’” per
formance had carried conviction to the
man that he was injured, which I think
he may have doubted before that, since
he was in possession of the property.
Conkling lias made the impression of a new
man, and the lawyers chiefly envy him
for getting so many clients.

A day or two ago my. wayward feet car
ried my body into the suburbs aud to a
chewing gum factory. There I got some
idea of an industry that thrives on penny
sales and the remorseless energy of Ameri
can jaws. In the place I saw half a dozen
blocks of marble gum, or petroleum wax.
Each weighed about 100 pounds and was
almost like pure pentelican stone, clear to
the old sculptor’s heart aud hand. And it
was absolutely clean and odorless. A tew
weeks ago the stuff laid in one of the huge
tanks near the oil wells of Pennsylvania, a
dirty, greenish-brown fluid, with the con
sistency of a bad mud and the bad smell of
a glue factory. Then it was crude oil,
but since then it had been in a turmoil,
and through “stirring times” and
chemical processes. From it had been ex
tracted a lot of kerosene, almost as much
naptha, not a little benzine, plenty of tar,
and a lot of valuable but technically named
affairs that arc out of reach. Anyway, the
guiu wax was left, and itlwas in that! saw,
clean as an ideal farmer’s bed-chamber,
and as odorless as a civil-service reformer’s
record. Before it became the chewing
gum of our friends it had to be melted, fla
vored. sweetened and “put up” in fancuul
array. Then the 100-pound block woo’d
appear in 5000 penny cakes, and I am told
that about 500 of these 100-pound blocks
are used in each week of the history of Co
lumbia, “the gum of the ocean,” etc. It’s
tough—the fact, not the gum.

In the New York bar not much atten
tion is given to realties or the science ot
law but to the commercial record ot toe
law firm. Conkling’s income for the past
year is thought to lie about $60,000, winch
is probably as high as a man can get. even
in New York. I asked a man quite equal
to him how he stood as a lawyer, i he re
ply was: “Why, he goes up there like a
character newly arrived from a strange,
wild land, and rolls off a vocabulary as big
as the spots on a tattooed man. y hen he is
done nobody quite knows which side lie
has been on, but there is something about
his manner which concedes thj, ca ® e to
him. He is agrand bulldozer.” T he firms
which stand highest in money-making are

My wife for many years was afflicted
with a blood disease which baffled the
most skillful treatment, and finally re.,ult-
ed in a very large ulcerated and ugly
looking running sore on one of her limbs,
which had been growing larger and larger
for the ’ast four years, discharging quanti
ties of pus or matter, and was so rapidly
undermining her health that I almost de
spaired of effecting a cure. I tried every
known remedy, such as sarsaparilla and
potash mixtures and prescriptions ot the
best physicians, with no benefit in any
way. A few months ago my attention was
called to S. S. 3. I procured some of this
medicine, which she began to take, and in
a short time increased in flesh and strength,
and the sore, which was then larger than
mv hand and reached to the bone, began
to heal. After continuing its use mu a
few weeks, she regained her health and
spirits, and the sore was entirely healed,
bhe had been in such a terrible condition
for years, audjvas so near death’s door at
the time she commenced the S. 8. 8., that
I refrained from making the facts known
to the public. Though knowing or being
sat’-fied that she wad cured, I feared the
disease might return ; but as it hits now
been three months since she stopped using
the medicine, and is in perfect health,being
able to walk several miles without unuoual
fatigue, and attend to household duties as
she did before she was afflicted, I publicly
make this statement for the benefit ot all
who are afflicted as was "Doreen.

Washington, September 7. — Large
quantities of new crisp $1 notes are being
macerated at the treasury department
daily, with a view to getting all the green
backs of that denomination out of circula
tion and forcing silver dollars into use. The
plates and the paper are nil ready for
ibe newly authorized one and two dollar
silver cirtitleutes. but they will not be
Printed and issued until the middle of No
vember. Treasury olHciuls say that the
delay is for the purpose of forcing some of
the surplus silver out of the treasury.
Treasurer Jordan says his object is to carry
out the policy of the secretary and gather
in all of the small notes which are redeem
able in gold, so is to make w v for the sil
ver certificates, which are redeemable in
