Watson, the hustlins wideawake deputy revenue collector, writes ;is follows: "In vuur issue of August 1 1 tli.

The ffovernor and two of liis staff made some objections to payin;, but soon accopted the situation, and paymont of the U. S. tax ivas arrangedTör, and paid. Xow let the state authorities do their duty as well, and Washtenaw county will be $300 ahead."

Such sights as "A Street in Cairo" will be íree, but nativos of oriental countries in a few cases will be allowed to cüiarge a small lee to apecial preformances of a theatrical nature. The speech of President Harrison at Aïbany, N. Y., wMle on his way to the Bennlngton, Vt., celebration, last -ivoek, was as usual, a maeterly ettert, but the sentiment expressed fcheretn are of great interest to the people of this nation at i)rescmt, when the unsound ideas of a lot of ttnancial visionaries have succeded In getrtlolg a considerable foothold. He tells the people, without any hegltatlon or mental reservatlon, that the only true monetary ]olicy of this country must be a sound one, stainding upon no fiat or fictitious base.
