SMALL GRAINS SAFE. United States, found th«^ Government lit, possession of between $40,000,000 "and $50,000,000 for which it had no present need nor suitable place for safe keeping. „ On June'23 of 1 hat year an act was pass ed authorizing the Secretary of the Treas ury to deposit, under certain specified conditions, all of-.the money save $5,000,- 000 with the States on their assuming the obligation of payment -on demand. The sums of money which each of the twenty-sjx States received, as stated in several jinnual reports of the Secretary; of the Treasury, was-as follows (cents omitted): _ •;v> Maine, $955,888; New Hampshire, $069,0S0; Vermont, $1369,086-^^Massachu setts. $1,338,173; Connecticut, $764,670; Rhode Island, $382,335; New York, $4,- 014,520; Pennsylvania, $2,867,514; New Jersey, $764,670; Qhio, $2,007,260; In diana. $860,254; Illinois^ $477,919; Michi gan. $288,751.; Pelnwnre, $286,571; Mary land, $955,838; Virginia, $2,198,427; North Carolina, $1.433,757; South Caro line, $1,051/22; Georgia. $1,051,422; Ala bama. $669.0S6: Louisiana, $477,919; Mississippi. $382,335; Tennessee, $1,433.- 757; Kentucky, $1,433,757; Missouri, $382,335; Arkansas, $286,751; total, $2S,- 101,633. In his annual report for 1S85 the United States Treasurer says "that the fiction" that these deposits, amounting to $28,- 101,633, may some day become available has ceased to be held. It is a singular fact that the records of the Treasury De partment do not show that a'nj* demand has ever been made on th.e States for the repayment of this money. It seems to be the -general opinion that an act Con gress 'Would be' necessary before steps could be taken to compel a repayment, but whether such an act Will be passed by Congress is extremely doubtful in view of the fact that the representatives, of twenty-six States in both houses would be interested in its defeat..

A gentleman yielded to this tempta tion on :i - New York elevated car re cently under circumstances which may be pardoned to him. though undoubt edly he exceeded his right.. ; . He was sitting, as he relates in the New York Tress, in a car in ..which all the seats Avere taken. A stout woman, flashily dressed, sat opposite him, holding a small boy between her knees. As the car stopped, a person who sat next the gentleman got out. and a working-girl, carrying a big bundle, came in, and started to take the va cant seat. But the woman with tbe boy was too quick .for her. She pushed the boy quickly into the seat, just before the girl could take it. and looked com placently about her, as If she could not see the girl at all. The gentleman might then have risen and given the girl his own seat, but he did not. He put his arm around the boy's waist, lifted liim to the floor, and said: "Now take off your hat and offer your seat to that young lady." The boy ran to his mother's knees. The girl hesitated, but took the seat as. the gentleman beckoned her to it. And then the mother of the child burst out into a violent denunciation of the man's "ungentlemanly" conduct. "And let me tell you. sir," she said, finally, "don't you ever meddle with other people's children again!" "Madam." responded the gentleman, "if mothers do not train their sons to grow up as gentlemen, some one else should.

"Think of the satisfaction it would be if the cause of the disaster to the Dean Richmond1 was known, and where the boat was when she went down? If it were known where she sank some of the bodies of those lost might be found, as the search would certainly result in finding the hull of the Richmond. As it is. it is impossible to tel! within three or four miles of where the boat sank. How willingly, even with death staring them in the face, would Captain Stod dard or any of the brave fellows, had there been homing pigeons aboard, have written a note to be conveyed by a pigeon that would have told of the awful disaster. These pretty birds would be cared for by the men on the boat with pleasure, as. they become great pets. "I hope something will be done to introduce homing pigeons on steam ships as well as sail vessels. The Gov ernment is doing a good work in locat ing dangerous rocks and shoals, fitting up lighthouses, etc., and it would be gratifying to me to know that it had added to other things the services of homing pigeons. One of these pigeons might, be the means, when a vessel is in distress, of paving the way to the saving of many lives, for a vessel in a leaking condition might be kept from sinking until aid came." •t reasonable rates and upon liberal tenuis.

M. C. A. WORK Napoleon's Use of Etiquette. The uses of rigid etiquette were well understood by Bonaparte. He appre ciated the dazzling power of economy, the fascination of condescension, and the mastery of woman in the conduct of affairs. All such influences he lav ished with a profusion which could have been conceived only by an Ori ental imagination. As if to overpower the senses by an impressive contrast, and symbolize the triumph of that dom inant third estate of which he claimed to be the champion against aristocrats, princes, kings and emperors, the sim plicity of the Revolution was personi fied and emphasized in his own form. His ostentatious frugality, his disdain for dress, his contempt for personal wealth and its outward signs, were all heightened by the setting which inclos ed them, as a frame of brilliants often heightens the character in the portrait of a homely face.--Century.

The opening session in the State Street Bap tist Church on the last morning of the convention was devoted to an exchange of views concerning the duty of the asso ciations to young men of foreign birth and parentage, and also the relation of the organizations to the social-economic ques tions of the day. The principal speakers were Rev. A- A. Buerle, of Boston; Prof. Graham Taylor, of Chicago, and Cephas Brainard, of New York. Before the re cess delegates devoted half an hour to a season of prayer. In the afternoon there were ten parlor conferences to consider railroad work, college work, boys' work, work among French-speaking young men and kindred subjects. At night there was ?.n immense mass meeting at the city hall, at which Dwight L. Moody spoke on the work of the Holy Spirit. Sunday there were spe cial services in the various churches, clos ing with a great farewell meetings in the evening. CONTRADICTS THE DOCTORS. All Are Happy, Glad, and Wei!.

Of the total number of marked frees 302 were found to be white poplar (populus alba), tills notwithstanding the fact that that species is not any ways near as common as a half-d.ozen or dozen other varieties.

A Washington dispatch says that it can be stated on the authority of one of the parties directly concerned that reports of a change in the head of the State Depart ment, by which Secretary Gressham will be succeeded by Don M. Dickinson, are not within the range of probability, ju-o- vided Mr. .Gresliam's health improves, as it is expected it will. Should his health compel his withdrawal from the cabinet later, Mr. Dickinson doubtless might be asked to accept the office. The present reports, however, are based on the fact that Mr. Dickinson attended a recent cabinet meeting in an informal capacity, as .his.personal relations with the Presi dent are such that he frequently joins the cabinet circle. At that time Secretary Gresham was absent, his place being taken by Assistant Secretary of State Uhl, formerly of Michigan, and one of Mr. Dickinson's intimates. In this con nection it is recalled that a cabinet port folio was at the disposition of Mr. Dickin son when the present cabinet was formed, and had he accepted, it would have been as Secretary of State. Subsequently he was commissioned by Mr. Cleveland to go to Chicago and invite Judge Gresham to take the secretaryship of state.
