*f,oo4t.<M>o FRACTION A I. CURRENCY
I.OST OK WORN OUT.
New Ronds I‘ajuble Only in Gold.
Secretary Sherman Explains.
Washington, June H.—The Com
missioners estimate the fractional
currency out of circulation from loss
or distraction at eight million dol
lars. It is believed Sherman will
issue silver change to this amount.
Commissioner Raum received a
letter signed by about 50 prominent
citizens of Southwestern Va., among
whom are two County Judges, two
District Attorneys and other officials,
asking that a sufficient force be sent
to co-operate with them in Bringing
illicit distillers to justice.
Mr. French, Assistant Secretary of
the Treasory, has given an opinion
to Secretary Sherman to the effect
that all United States bonds issued
since the date when silver was de
monetized are payable in gold and
not in silver This opinion has the
approval of Secretary Sherman.
Secretary Sherman says the letter
printed this morning on the subject
of the payment of bonds in gold, and
signed by W. F. French, Assistant
Secretary, is not to be regarded as
the official action of the Treasury De
partment, as it was only intended as
an expression of the individual views
of Mr. French. The Secretary has
not taken, nor will he take, any ac
tion in the matter, as to do so would
seem to preclude any action Congress
might determine to take on the sub
ject.
The State Department has a copy
of the ukase official furnished by
Bussia. It allows subjects of neutral
States to contiue their commercial
intercourse with Russian ports and
cities, provided they observe the laws
of the empire and the principle of in
ternational law so far as this is al
lowable by the conditions of military
operations.
The issue of one and two dollar
greenbacks was discontinued at the
Treasury in this city, mainly to in
duce banks and individuals to take
and put in circulation, silver coin.
Silver is now going out of the Treas
ury at the rate of a million a month ;
full greenback fund of ten millions
of dollars, authorized by law, is so
well assured, that the Treasury will
probably soon resume shipments of
one and two dollar bills.
Washington, June 11.—Henry B.
Nicholis commissioned Postmaster at
Norfolk.
Secretary Sherman’s opinion seems
to be that all that is necessary is to
make the silver dollar a legal ten
der precisely as the paper dollar
now is, and let the amount of coin
age be regulated by the wants of peo
ple. To those who desire to exchange
paper for silver he would give the
fullest opportunity, and he thinks
that there would then be no trouble
about what sort of currency they
have.
The opinion of Mr. French is not
an offical one.
Gen. C. F. Henningson is dead.
(He was a filibuster with Walker.)
Gen. B. H. Dockery, ex-member of
Congress from North Carolina, who
has been in the city several days
in consultation with the President]
and Cabinet, had aa interview with
tha Postmaster-General to-day, rela
tive to postal affairs in that State.
It was most satisfactory.
Special agent J. G. Hester, under
instructions from the Department of
Justice, leaves to-night for North
Carolina to summons witnesses in
the case of U. S. Deputy Marshal
Franks, who is under charges here
preferred against him by Marshal R.
M. Douglass of the western district
of North Carolina for fraud against
the U. S. Government.
The Russian taan*.
London, Juno 14.— The Times, in
its financial column, says th 9 Rus
sian loan of $75,000,000, the Imperial
ukase authorizing which was pub
lished at St. Petersburgh yesterday,
is said to have been originally offer
ed to houses here, and refused. It is
now to be issued at Paris and Berlin.
It is stated that the issue price is 70 1
per cent., and that a syndicate of
bankers have taken the loan at a net
price so far below this figure as to !
leave ample margin. In face of the
fact that an internal forced loan of
200,000,000 roubles has also been de
creed, the borrowing does, indeed,
indicate rapid exhaustion.

London, June 14.— The Daily News’
Vienna dispatch has the following:
Certain signs point to Thursday or
I Friday next as the date of crossing
| the Danube. Just before that opera
: tlou takes place, it is expected the
Czar will issue a manifesto.
It is again rumored that Safaet
Pasha has requested the Sultan to
entrust him with a peace mission to
Ploister.
A special to the Daily Telegraph
I from Vienna, Wednesday, says: Su
j leiman Pasha started yesterday to
revictual Nicsics for a year.
The Times’ correspondent at Buch
arest telegraphs: The Russians and
Turks have constructed strong bat
teries on the opposite shores of the
Danube, at Saturuon and Isaktchi,
where the Russians crossed in 1828.
The immense mass of material which
the Russians are moving toward the
Danune can scarcely be lodged in the
depots on the river before July first,.
It is therefore scarcely probably that
any attempt be made to cross before
that month, and this supposition is
strengthened by the present state of
the Danube. The enemy will cer
tainly be on the alert, on account of
the Czar’s arrival at headquarters;
I and therefore, instead of the Czar’s
I arrival, as thought by some, being
1 an indication of immediate activity,
jit is much more probable it will be
allowed to lose its awakening effect
on the Turks, and they will be suffer
ed to relapse into tneir usual lethar
gic state. Ido not believe the Rus
sians will cross at the earliest mo
ment practicable, but probably it
will be after the first alarm, when
the activity aroused by their appear
ance in close proximity to the Dan
ube has subsided.
Constantinople, June 14. —A dis

! Mebped All, dated June 12, announ
ces the defeat of the Montenegrins,
at Atchina.
• London, June 14.—A Rustchuk dis
patch received yesterday, says: Last
night a parly of Russians near Eure
tine, attempted an atiack, in boats,
upon a Turkish monitor there, but
the latter, with the help of a land
battery, beat them off. To-day, an
other on the islands, but the Turks
compelled the enemy to retreat.
Both affairs are considered feints to

Constantinople, June 14. The
Turkish newspapers, in referring to
the peace rumors lately current are
strongly adverse to peace, and dis
miss the subject as unworthy of dis
cussion.
London, June 14. --The second edi
tion of the Standard publishes a dis
patch from its spe ial correspondent
with Muhktar Pasha’s camp, dated
Seeivin Ethel Seeivin, June 12
which says: reports have arrived
from Kars that the Russians have
massed round Kars all the troops
which they brought from Ardahan,
.Gutnry, Kagishime arid Souticam
icbe. For several days they hare at
tempted to storm ports Tatmiaz and
Karadagh, but on every occasion
they were repulsed. On Saturday
they made desperate efforts to take
possession of some of the heights,
when the garrison of Kars made a j
sortie in force, with field artillery
and repulsed the Russians with great
loss.
Theieare no Russian soldiers be

his camp at Zewin to Olti on one
side, and to Erzeroum on the other.
St. Petersburg, June 14. —An offi

been very successful in frustrating
all attempts. A sortie was yesterday
repulsed with heavy loss to the Turks.

BULLOCK I* COURT.
The Kx.Oovcrnor Ready but the Ntutc
Will Not.
From tho Atlanta Constitution.]
On Monday it was announced gen
erally that the cases of ex-Guvernor
it. B. Bullock, Foster Blodgett, E. F.
Blodgett, Kimball, Hoyt and others,
would be called and brought to trial.
Asa consequence there was such a
j crowd present as is seldom seen iu
| the court room, uuless upon days
j when murder trials are called.
Judge Hillyer took his seat upon
} the beuch at 10 o’clock, and proceed
ed to empanel the regular |>etit ju
ries. He then asked the Solicitor
General if he had any business for
the court, to which the latter replied
that he had not, Attorney General
Ely was present, and Judge Hillyer
I asked if he had any criminal busiuess
! to offer.
The Attorney General said that ho
j did not have any business, for the
! court,.
i • This was an astonishing announce
( ment to the counsel for the defen
| dants who were present. They
looked with surprise at ttie Attorney
! Geueral and then in enquiry at each
other.
Gen Gartrell arose and addressing
the court on behalf of ex Governor
Bullock, said that it was hoped that
the ease against him would be called.
He has been here sometime, he is
ready, and begs your honor that
when it may earliest suit the con
venience of the Attorney General, he
may have a trial. He asked that the
case be set, for Wednesday morning.
Colonel J. T. Glenn said that Judge
Hopkins was sole counsel for E. N.
Kimball, and was ill —unable to at
tend court. He asked for leave of
absence for Judge Hopkius until he
was able to appear iu court, tvhich
leave was granted.
Geueral Gartrell said the other de
fendants were here, ready for trial,
and wanted it at the earliest possi
ble day.
Senator Ben Hill stated that as
counsel for Foster Blodgett lie de
sired to insist upon a trial to-day, or
an early heariug this or next week.
It was important to his client that he
should have a heariug. Ho had
brought his witnesses here at great
expense, and his interests demanded
a heariug.
THE STATE NOT READY.
Attorney General Ely replied that
he was not prepared to make any
announcement i the cases. He had
not replied to call them to day, and
the court would be adjourned on
election day and he had an engage
ment on Wednesday. So fur as the
defendants being anxious for trial
was concerned, the State was also
anxious, and would give them a
trial, but he was not ready now and
was not obliged to state his reasons.
The trouble and expense of delay to
the defendant* was a cousequeuce
which any one must bear who rests
under criminal indictment.
Judge Hillyer announced that the
cases not being ready, he would pro
ceed with the oivil business for three
weeks or more. These cases would
be tried in August.
The counsel for defendants protest
ed against this postponement, but
Judge Hillyer said he hud disposed
of the matter.
SEEKING A TRIAL STILL.
Application was then made for an
order to put a demand upon the min
utes of tiie trial. This order the
judge decided to refuse.
Ex-Governor Bullock feels that he
is entitled to a trial at this term of
tfie court, aud his counsel are seek
ing to get a reconsideration upon the
part of the court, and tlie setting of
the cases for an earlier time than
August.
Failure of u Man With flight Hundred
Thotinan<l Holla cm Income.
New York Correspondence ol'the Boston Journal
One of our heaviest real estate men
has been under the harrow for some
months. To-day he has abandoned
the fight, aud given up everything to
his creditors. He was a very success
ful cotton broker. All the money lie
made was put into real estate. His
revenues were very large. His in
come was eight hundred thousand
dollars a year. Oue building, near
Trinity Church, yielded him a rental
of ninety thousand dollars per an
num. Everything he touched turned
to gold. He was loaded down with
cotton. One day a merchant handed
him a check of three hundred thou
sand dollars to cancel a contract.
He took it. Within ten days cotton
surged up and he made a fortune. He
owned an elegant house on Fifth
Avenue. He crowded it with paintings
statuary, works of arts. Not content
with this, he was induced by a specu
lator to take hold of a railroad. He
bought bonds at sixty. Soon after
they went down to forty, aud the
gentleman bought all lie could lay
his hands on. He took the road. He
proposed to run it,. He found it un
finished. He equipped it; spent
$300,000 i:i locomotives and rolling
stock. Ruin came to him as it conies
to every one who dabbles in outside
matters. The panic completed his
demoralization. His fine New York
property was mortgaged for more
than it was worth. To-day he has
ceased to struggle. Few men will be
warned and few men will be the wiser
for all this. Here is a man who a few
months ago iiad a royal income of
SBOO,OOO a year. He wanted to make
it a million. To-day he is hopelessly
bankrupt. _
A Rattlesnake Kllleil by a Toad.
From the Tuolumuo County Democrat. |
A party of trout fishers, camping near
Lyon’s I)am a few days since witnessed
a very novel indident. A huge rattle
snake was attempting to swallow a some
what diminutive horned toad, and seemed
likely to succeed it given sufficient time.
The hind legs of the toad protruded
from the saliva flecked jaws of the snake,
and were occasionally agitated with a
convulsive movement, as it the little ani
mal was impatient of the delay in going
down the reptile’s throat. Just as the legs
were disappearing, the body of the snake
just behind its villianous-looking head be
gan to swell. Its eyes began to bulge and
its spirit seemed troubled. The parties
watching the process of mastication then
became aware that the plucky little toad
had tired ol fooling around in a rattle
snake's jaws and wauted to get out. The
swelling continued, and tlie snake squirm
ed until the four little horns which form
tlie crest of the toad’s back burst through
tiie scales of the snake. The snake fl mu
dered and wriggled in agony until he
was dead, when the toad withdrew from
his jaws and quietly hopped away.

Waahiugtou Special to Baltimore Suu.)
Tho recent remarkable change of
front on the currency question by
Senator Jones, of Nevada, has al
ready excited the surprise aud at
tention of the country. Senator
Jones, who is now here, is preparing
a lengthy financial essay in the shape
of his report as a member of the sil
ver commission, Iu it he will allude
to the great distress now prevailing
among tho industrial classes of the
country, as shown by the vast num
bers out of employment aud tlie gen
eral reduction of wages by railroads
and other corporations. He will
take the view that unless some meas
ures are adopted to restore confi
dence and activity in business circles
tbo distress and ruin yet to come
upon the country will bo unparal
leled.
Senator Jones says ttint ho does
not, look upou this great question as
a Republican—that is not a questiou
to talk of parties. His report will, it
is thought, be used as a campaign
document in Ohio, It is understood
that he will, when Congress meets,
offer a constitutional amendment
substituting paper for coin as the
standard currency of tho United
States. Tho extraordinary conver
sion ol Senator Jones is due to no
less a person than General Benjamin
F. Butler. Senator Jones lives in
oue of liutler’s houses on Cipitol
Hill, and next door to the house oe
oupied by Butler himself, so Butler
lias had ample opportunities to
pump his political doctrines into
him.
The CossnrU* iimt Kmiiiiaiiluii Ladies.
When tho first troop of Cossacks
rode through Bucharest the Rourna
niau ladies were very anxious to see
them, and the long avenue was lined
with carriages. A column of dust
arose.thiukening aud drawing nearer.
A cry of delight aud impatience
passed all along ladies eagerly
stood up, favored gentlemen climbed
upon tho coachbox aud-the wheels.
The column of dust approached, and
presently the Cossack lances pierced
it, glittering in the sun. Dark and
colorless masses loomed through it,
and strange but stiring music was iu
the air. Not a sound was heard, even
while they passed, except that mar
tial warsong of the bards who head
each sotuia and the shrill accompa
niment of whistles modulated to
weird harmony. No rattle of accou
tremeuts betrays the Cossack; his
very horse seems trained to move
with silent activity. With that paian
in one’s ears, and the whistles
screaming through it, one beholds
without astonishment these warriors
glide [last, stealthily and swift. One
recognizes the surviving race of an
earlier time. To the same war song,
perhaps, marched tlie ancestors of
these people when they overran Rus
sia. The Bucharest ladies were not
a little impressed and not a little
frightened. They looked at each
other blankly, with little shrugs of
the shoulder to express distaste. One
of tlrem afterward confessed to t!*e
Standard correspondent, who de
scribes the scene, that her Muscovite
sympaihies vanished at sight of the
first. Cossack, so ugly and so dirty
was he.

‘‘Serena, darling!” he murmured,
and the old gate scarcely creaked as
it swung to and fro beneath her light
weight, and tiie silent stars looked
down with tenderer glances—anu all
South Hill except Will Dempsey’s
black aud-tan, that lias gone into
polities, aud is trying to get through
with a six months’ canvass every

it was young, and has been a prey to
a devouring melancholy ever since;
and Fred Flackman’s woolly dog,
that has an ambition to be a jubilee
singer, and sits up all night trying to
sing “Roll Jordan” —all the rest of
South Hill seemed to hold its breath
to listen. “Serena, sweet,” he said,
and the radiant blushes that kindled
over the pearly brow and cheeks
softened the silent lovelight in her
lustrous eyes : “Serena, my own ! iT ev

The Gruud Duke Nicholas is a line

1 do not think that I have described him
1 efore to you, although I have seen him
frequently Ht Kisclienofl. He appeared
to t belter advantage ou this occasion
than before, and naturally, for he was
given to understand the really friendly at
titude lor Roumanians toward him, and
the reception was a triumph as gratify
ing as unexpected. The melancholy yet
haughty Ratnanoff expression usual to
his countenance was displaced by a
pleased and kindly smile. lie replied
briefly to tlie address of welcome, and,
entering a barouche in waiting, was driv

Manchester has always been cele
brated for improving its busiuess
opportunities. When ex-President
Grant visited the town hall, the
other day. the town clerk, Sir Joseph
Heron, put it., with characteristic
meekness, in this way : “It, will prob
ably not be inappropriate if we, the
municipal representatives of a large
manufacturing community, venture
to express the hope that your iuves
tigatious arising out of the visit will
ultimately tend to the interchange
of ideas pointing to the abolition of
restrictions on trade, and to the es
tablishment, by common consent, of
free commercial intercourse between
England aud America.” The ex-
President’s response was studiously
non-committal. He said : “I am, aud
have been, fully aware, for many
years, of the great amount of man
ufactures iu this city, many of which
find a market in my own country.”
That was all.— N. Y. Bulletin.
Celia Logan, who is old enough to

and telling the trutn about all kinds

Instead of working herself into a vio

the hard late of the shop girls who
are tyrauically prevented from sit

mates that while these youDg per

house-girls or the jaded old
washer-women, wtio never sit

this uncomfortable critic of her sex
says that ttie shop girl’s “inatten

insolence towards-female customers
are so marked and universal, that
but for the heart and principle of the
matter, ladies would refuse to have
women wait on them at all,” The
male man who is ready to swear that
the shop girl is never inattentive,
aud never indifferent to him (unless
a better looking man is discussing
philosophy with her), is pained to
think that there may be an infinites
imal grain of truth in this charge,
and he is apt to to find a great many
yf the ordinary woman’s rights pre
tensions overthrown by the admis

Volcanic Eruption.
San Francisco, June 12. —A Los An
geles dispatch says a volcanic eruption
occurred in the mount ins opposite Flow
ing Wells Station, on the Southern Pacif
ic, about sixty miles from Yuma, at 9
o'clock yesterday morning. It was pre
ceded by violent vibrations of the earth
lor about half an hour, during which a
dense volume of smoke and huge blocks
and broken boulders were observed to is
sue from the mountain. It continued in
an active state all day, but became nearly
passive at nightfall.
A negro preacher had elaborated
anew theory of the Exodus, to wit:
that the Red sea got frozen over, and
so afforded the Israelites a safe pas
sage; but when Pharaohiswith his
heavy iron chariots, attempted it,
they broke through and were drown
ed. A bn*ther rose and asked for an
explanation of that point. "Ise been
srudyiu’ gography, and de gography
sayfiut de very warm country—where
day have de tropics. And de tropics
too hot for freeziu’. De n’int to be
spl.tioed is, ’bout breaking through
de ice.” The preacher straightened
up and said: “Brudder, giad you
axed dat question. It give me ’casiou
to B[ilaiu it. You see dat was a great
while ’go—in de ole times ’fo’ day
had any gography—’fo’ dare was any
tropics.”— Springfield Republican.
Forest Fires In California.
San Francisco, June 12.—A dis
patch from Lompac, Santa Barbara
county, says an extensive fire is rag
ing in the vicinity, burning over
many miles square and destroying
the grass and grain crops. A great
number of cattle were overtaken by
the flames. The fire will of necessi
ty slaughter a great deal of stock on
account of the lack of forage. A
Los Angelos dispatch says a great
forest fire is running in the moun
tains west of that city, exteuding
down to the plains. Details wanting,
but it is known that many home
steads were destroyed and a great
amount of hay, lumber and property
burnt. Yesterday afternoon half the
business portion of Plymouth, Ama
dor county, was burnt. Loss, $35,-
000; insurance light.
A delicate complexion is best com
pared to a blooming rose; but when
the countenance is disfigured with
Blotches and pimples, like weeds in

ture winch quickly and effectually
eradicates such unsightly evidences
of impure blood.
