Nomination of the Merchant For Sec
retary cf the Treasury
It was not unnatural thai in the ab
solute absence of pullth al experleiK e
President Giant shoulJ not only lwvo
had much to learn concerning the na
ture and conduct of civil government
but that he should also have had mutli
to unlearn of the mental habits nn l
the ways of thinking he had ieiruirJ
In the exercise or large Indeed almoi
unlimited military command This
was strikingly Illustrated by some re
markable incidents
As usual the nominations made bv
the president for cabinet offices were
promptly ratified by the senate with
out being referred to any committee
But after this had been done- It was
remembered and reported to President
Grant that one of the nominees so
confirmed A T Stewart of New York
whom President Grant had selected
for the secretaryship of the treasury
as a person engaged in commerce was
disqualified by one of the oldest laws
on the statute book in fact the act
of Sept 2 17S9 establishing the treas
ury department That this law which
provided that the treasury department
having the administration of the cus
torn houses under its control should
not have at Its head a merchant or im
porter in active business was entirely
proper indeed a necessary one had
never been questioned The next m rn
ing March G I had occasion -ill
upon President Grant for the
of presenting to him a congraiu tory
message from certain citizens of St
Louis I found him aloue engaged in
writing something on a hale sheet of
note paper Mr President 1 said
I see you are busy and I do not Avish
to interrupt you My business can
wait Never mind he answered
I
I am only writing a message to the
senate My business was quickly dis
posed of and 1 withdrew
In the course of that days session of
the senate a message from the presi
dent was brought in in which after
quoting the statute of Sept 2 1TS9
the president asked that Mr Stewart
be exempted by joint resolution of the
two houses of congress from the op
eration of the law which stood in Mr
Stewarts way There were some signs
of surprise among senators when the
message was read and Mr Sherman
at once asked unanimous consent to
introduce a bill in accordance with the
presidents wish But Mr Sumner ob
jected to the immediate consideration
thereof because of its great importance
This stopped further proceedings and
the bill was laid on the table never
to be heard of again Carl Schurzs
Reminiscences in McCIures
Miles and the Reporter
General Nelson A Miles always did
like to have fun with new reporters
said an old newspaper man I re
member some years ago he told an un
fortunate Washington correspoudeuF a
long story about a new gun metal that
some genius was supposed to have just
discovered It was a wonderful alloy
which was as tough as steel and as
light as aluminium By its use the
general said it would be possible to
build guns which would weigh no
more than the immense projectiles
which they fired
The correspondent was delighted
and went off and wrote a beautiful
article which produced spasms of
laughter throughout the entire artil
lery service You see it doesnt re
quire a very profound knowledge of
ballistics to know that if a gun and
projectile both weigh exactly the same
amount they would fly in opposite di
rections with exactly the same velocity
when the piece was fired
City of Mexico Street Cars
The street car system of the city of
Mexico is a fine one but here is one
arbitrary rule that strangers must
learn as soon as possible that is the
cars do not stop except at certain
points where you will notice the elec
tric light poles have a baud of white
painted on them These stopping
places are very close together in the
crowded parts of the city so you must
look out for them You are expected
too to enter at the back and go out at
the front door Apart from this the
conductors will be found courteous
ever ready to tell you things and anx
ious to assist you Houston Post

Perils Against Which the Modern
Expsrt ftluct Guard
PROTECTING HIS AIR TUBE
This Is His Chief Care While Delving
In the Debris of Sunken Wrecks
Tragic Debut cf John Day a Clever
but Ignorant Old Timer
A great deal of water has run under
the bridge since in the month of June
1774 John Day made ids fatal debut
as a diver in Plymouth soimd Day
a clever but ignorant millwright had
laid numerous wagers that confined in
a water tight box and provided with a
candle food and drink he would re
main submerged at any depth for
twelve hours nis plan was that the
box should be fastened by screws
from within to a vessel subsequently
sunk and that when the allotted time
had elapsed he should withdraw the
screws and rise to the surface Ilis
mad scheme was actually put Into ex
ecution on June 22 and Day as might
hjlve been expected lost his life Not
the least extraordinary part of the af
fair is that while he was warned how
the pressure of the water would affect
his box and greatly increased its
strength In consequence no one seems
to have so much as hinted at the dan
ger of his deatii from want of ilr
The diver who goes down today to
salve the contents of a sunken wreck
recover a dropped torpedo or execute
some submarine erection or repairs has
better knowledge cf the nrcessury
risks he runs and the precautions by
which he may avoid all needless dan
ger at his work than had poor Day
Science mindful of the great increase
of pressure brought about by every
foot that he descends beneath the sur
face of the sea warns him to go slow
ly down the stepladder that hangs
from the ships side or the dock wall
and to pause frequently as he does so
that he may grow accustomed to the
increase by degrees By this means
a man fit for the work sound of heart
and free from apopletic tendencies
passes with little Inconvenience from
the moderate pressure of eight pounds
per square inch which surrounds him
at a depth of twenty feet to that of
sixty five pounds which he must sus
tain after descending 100 feet the
greatest depth at which his work can
be considered safe
Once landed at the bottom of the sea
the diver hits a host of things to bear
in mind Weighted as he is with brass
soled boots copper helmet and often a
treble set of underclothing below his
diving suit of twill and rubber the
tendency to rise is yet so great that his
powers of action are very limited He
can lift a comparatively heavy weight
with ease the attempt to pull down
some trifling piece of wreckage from
overhead will probably take him off his
feet Readers of Robert Louis Steveu
son will remember how when dressed
in full deep sea costume he accom
panied a diver to his work the novel
ist was able to hop with ease upon the
summit of a rock some six feet high
But descend again he could not Iis
companion hauled him off head down
ward and propped him on his feet like
an intoxicated sparrow Even for
such an apparently simple piece of
work as drilling a hole in a rock or
portion of a wreck the diver will per
haps need to prop himself against a
stone or make himself secure by lash
ings to the object upon which he
works
The great danger against which the
diver must be ever on his guard is that
of getting his air tube entangled in the
debris of a wreck no difficult matter
as he creeps in and out of cabin engine
room and hold among a broken and
distorted mass of wood and iron no
may have been moving in one direc
tion all unconscious that he is being
helped by a strong current until he
presently attempts to turn and finds it
vain It is not the deep sea diver only
who runs this risk Some years since a
diver was at work in twenty feet of
water repairing some dock gates His
job finished he gave the signal to the
boat above to close the gates that he
might see if all worked well The rush
of many tons of water as the heavy
gates swung to swept him between and
through them In a flash he realized
that his air pipe would be caught
between the massive doors and at
the same moment saw his only chance
for life He thrust his lieavy hammer
head between the closing gates and
this kept his pipe free till he could
signal for them to be reopened
The old method of communication
between the diver and hfc helpers at
the surface was by means of tus upon
the line but nowadays the telephone
or perhaps a speaking tube accompa
nies the air pipe at his side And
though many divers still work in the
comparative darkness both oil and
electricity will shed their light upon
the scene if need arise
Sharks are visitors with whom in
certain waters the deep sea diver has
to co jnt But the shark is not always
so dangerous a morning caller as
might be thought A diver at work
In the cabin of a sunken ship saw to
his dismay a shark swim slowly In
The diver had no suitable weapon of
defense at hand and flight seemed
the only chance for life and a poor
one at that Meanwhile the shark
swam to and fro in the cabin as if
meditating on a system of attack The
diver made a sudden bolt for the door
the shark as seriously alarmed It
seemed as was the man did the same
and being unincumbered with cos
tume and in his native element got
out an easy first and disappeared

To Become a Kansan
Frnuk Stillmau of McCook Neb
thinks the country close to Knnsns City
is the most desirable place to locate so
ho bus rented his farm in Red Willow
county sold off his Btock and in a few
days will movo bis family to his 500
acre farm bought a few days ago near
Harris Kas About the timo Mr
Stillman bought the arm mentioned
he also bought 6 10 acres of land over in
Coffey county Kbb not far from where
ho will live These farms are situated
about 80 miles from Kansas City I
have wanted to got close to this market
for some time said Mr Scillman It
is the greatest live stock market in this
country And what puzzles me is to
think homo seekers will run ou out
several hundred miles farther away and
pay more for land unimproved than
good fiii iii l than 100 miles of here
can be bought for The time will come
very soon when these farm lands around
in that radius of the market will bo
picked up I think I have made a good
move as I consider that the difference
in the length of the winters will mean a
considerable saving in feed while the
nearness to market is another very im
portant item In Nebrnska where I
was located I was over 300 miles from
the nearest market My farms down
there in Kansas are less than a 100
miles from market I can load up
stock in the evening and have it on the
Kansas City yards the next morning
This distance from market is becoming
more impoitant each year The long
hauls and the uncertainty of railroad
time are giving stockman more trouble
than anything else Mr StiUman
still owns his Nebraska farm He
bought the two farms named for cash
and will handle considerable stock
