The Xew York Post's Washing ton special says: "The Chinese treaties hang tire in the senate, ami the failure of that body to act is creating- some discussion as to the reasons therefor. One reason stated is that the treaties will affect the relation of tin noxtaduiinistra. lion with the Chinese, and that it is onty fair to leave its hands un tied and more time for considera tion, in view of the fact that im portant restrictive legislation is proposed. Again, it is urged that the "most favored nation' clause in the treaty 3ields to the Chinese the right to be naturalized, in on po.-ition'to the wishes and legisla tive enactments of the Pacific coast. Also, it is said that the treaty will not effectually stem the tide of immigration, as a large part two-thirds, it is said, of the Chinese immigrants are those who are returning after one trm of residence here, and as such are iut excluded. The provisions of the commercial treaty, governing the proceedings of the mixed courts, and the carrying of opium, are also meeting with some criti cism. Cost of the Obelisk. Lieutenant Commander Gor ringe furnished a New York Tri bune reporter with the following statement: The expense of trans portation, the net cost, and the expense of removing, transporting and erecting the New York obelisk was S73,S40 03. The net cast and expenses of removing, transport ing, placing and repairing pedestal steps and base were $25,732. The total net cost was 102,556 03. This sum does not include the cost and expenses of the steamer, which raust be recovered from her sale. The word "expenses" is used to designate and includes the amounts that have been paid for the use of money needed to carry on the work. These amounts aggregate $1 5,973 03; deducting this, the cost of lowering, removing and transporting 5,3S2 miles by water, and 11,520 feet by land, and erect ing in New York, the obelisk and its pedestal and base, is $80,000. After the arrival of the obelisk in the port of New York, W. H. Vanderbilt advanced $45,000 in three installments, towards defray ing the current expenses of carry ing on the work. On February 1st he paid S18,732 more, and on February 7th, $40,000. Making in all, $103,732 which hd has ad vanced. The Hudson Tunnel. The New York Tribune says: The work of tunneling under the Hudson river is going on satisfac torily, and 200 men are employed by the company. The completed portion of the tunel advances five feet every day toward the .New York shore. The whole distance completed so far is 290 feet from the shaft. The superintendent says: "On the New York side the company is getting ready to be gin work at the foot of Morton street. A caisson is building, and we shall soon be working at both ends. The whole distance is 5, 500 feet. If we advance at the rate of five feet at each end in every twenty-four hours, it will take something like eighteen months to complete the work." Onderdonk,the contractor, states that he will require 3,000 white men during the coming summer to work upon the Canadian Pacific railway. Chinese are not preferred on this work, but are only taken when white labor cannot be obtained- Tlie work will be pushed "with great vigor, and the scale of wages will be shortly published. The Canadian estimates provide for $3,000,000 to be paid this year Sot railway construction in British Columbia under the Onderdonk contract st More About the Jeannette. Mr. Danenhower, who was at one time a prominent politician and editor in Chicago, but who is now at Washington, has a son Lieutenant John Danenhower, on board the Jeannette, occupying the jHsition of navigator of the vessel. A private letter from Dan enhower says: "My letter from my son was dated August 29, 1879. The vessel was last seen Septem ber 3d, about fifteen miles from Wraugel Laud, under full sail and steam, with clear water in front so 1 have no doubt that she reached her destination and quartered for the winter where her officers ex pected. The fact that she did not return last summer is no evidence to me of her loss, and 1 confidently expect her safe return next fall, unless the present winter has been unusually severe in the Arctic which might prevent her return until the following season. 1. however, approve the action of the government in their proposition to fit out a search expedition, for if delayed uwtil next year it might be too late. A third winter in that region would be very trying on the crew, and might, if severe, prove disastrous." Gold Product ol the "World. Accoiding to the Boston Econo-j tn'ct tli tMTl nrmliinnnn rf rrAA I mist, tlie total production Ol gold m lbbvi throughout the world amounted to 9118,000,000 (80, 000,000 of which was produced in America) of silver, $94,000,000 (of which 70,000,000 was produc ed in America); total of both. $212,000,000. The largest pro duction in any one year was in 1S53 of gold, $230,000,000; sil ver, $40,000,000; total of both, $2$o,000,(K.)0. Since that year the annual product of gold has dimin ished one-half, and that of silver has nearl3 doubled. The second installment of peti tions, signed by 3,000 persons, asking the president to pardon the convicted Mussel Slough settlers, has been mailed to Washington, and hundreds aie still coming for ward. An experienced matron says: A man will eat soggy biscuit twice a week without a. complaint when his girl invites him out to tea, but when the girl becomes his wife, if there is the taintest suspicion of saleratus in them, the neighbors will think the district school is out for recess by the racket he makes. STSsoiiie say that it is no use for Uiem to advertise, that they have been in the place in utiMitess all their lives, and nerybody Knows them. .Such iieoulc -eein to forget to take in consideration that our country is increasing in impii-' latinn nearly 40 per cenL every ten years, and no matter how old tlie place may be, there are constant changes taking place; some move to oilier parts, and strangers fill their places. In this age of the world, unless the name of a business firm is kept constantly before the public Mime new firm may -tart up, and. by lilK'ntl advertising, in a very .short time take tlie place of the older tines, and the latter rust out, as it were, and be forgot ten.
