LIZZIE AM) I ARK ONE.

Lizzie and I are one, and one we mean to be,Seeing it's forty years since she joined hands i

me;And this honeymoon of ours, I'm euro 'twill neve

set,For as it ehone BO long ago, 'tis shining on us yet.

We thea were linked together for better or f<worse,

She took me for a blessing—I might have proved acurse;

Perhaps I've not been either, yet luck was onside,

For Lizzie has been a blessing since the day shewas a bride.

I carry here her nicture, in a pocket near my heartAnd never truer angel face was drawn by human

art.They may not think it beautiful, but never do I seeIn throngs of charming women, a face BO dear to

me.

And now as I look on it I'm back at the happy dayWhen Lizzie and I, united, were smiling along the

way.Not pompous was the journey, yet all the world

took part,For each was truly all the world to the other's lov-

ing heart.

Our wedding jaunt it was, and my proudest day oJlife,

For it led to the loving old folks, to show my pre-cious wife;

And as Old Gray jogged onward, all earth and airand sky

Were naught to me, for heaven was there in Lizzie'sbeaming eye.

To her it seemed all nature in summer's richestdress

Was thus arrayed in sympathy to greot our happi-ness ;

And even wayside posies looked up P.B if to say,God niado us to Bhed fragrance on the holy marriage

day.

Yes, she with sense superior detected in the airThe odor of each blossom, and knew 'twas blooming

there ;And oft Old Gray was halted in each elapsing hour,That I, responsive to her wish, might cull the wild-

ing flower.

The woods and fields and mountain sides for herhad wealth untold—

A ;ilver flood the river ran, the sun cast rays ofgold;

With soul refined she saw and felt ten thousandglories there,

While I—well, I could only see my wife so wondrousfair,

Ah, me ! It was a tour of joy, an episode of bliss—With earnest faith in every pulse, hope fervent as

a kies ;And ever as the day wore on I seemed to love her

more.Yet now, with forty years agone, we love as ne'er

btfore.

Childhood has claimed maternal care that neverwas denied,

As the gentle, tender mother followed the blushingbride;

And all who grew around us with love reward hercare,

And think there's none so kiud and wise as mothersitting there.

The years have Bped, and good and ill have met uson the way,

But jointly we've kept moving on. as on the joiningday;

And still, for better or fcr worse, life's lessons wehave conned,

But never dreamed of learning how to break thejoining bond.

Yes, Lizzie and I are one, a-ud two we'll never be,Till death an arrow launches at Lizzie or at me ;And though our heads are frosted, and the frosty

locks are thin,Our hearts, like winter fires, are glowing warm

within.

THE HISTORY OF A LIFE.

" Miss Cameron."Leonie Cameron, lazily looking out of

a bow-window upon a garden flamingwith autumn tints and f unset glow, lift-ed a pair of soft, dark eyes to Mrs. Toll-man's face. It was an anxious face just!*.„.„ „ im,w ^ ,.„„ -„ ™ „ .^ . „ . . K n e w a s prepared tor sat that moment, and, being usually full | of r e t b u t £o t ( o r t j l eAT liannv firtiitpnt tnf> nrnriprv was vflrv - i • i. *

cousin to keep her lonely home and playpropriety.

Society constituted itself her amateurguardian, and, lying back in her cush-ioned chair in the sunset glow, shewondered indolently what society wouldsay about John Furber. It would granthim a rare perfection of manly beautyof face and form, and forgive the evi-dent traces of dissipation, if it was onlyknown that ho was the son of a richman, and had oeen educated an idlerby profession. But in what holy horrorit would turn away, with upliftedhaadti, when it was known he was dis-inherited, with no home but a room inthe house of a widowed aunt eking outher narrow income by taking boarders.It would smile at his biting sarcasms,his brilliant conversation, his cynicalsneers, if he wns reinstated in his fath-er's favor, but how rude these would bein a poor man.

Leonie, from thinking of society'sopinion, quite unconsciously glidedinto considering her own. This dark-browned man had made a fair portion ofher summer pleasure for three months,had been her cavalier in many countrywalks, drives and sails, had quotedpoetry under trees, sunk in a superbbaritone upon the murmuring waters,looked into her eyes on a moonlit porch,and whispered delicately-*orded flat-tery. No more than many another manhad done. A beauty and rich, MissCameron had looked upon more thanone languishing suitor, and forgottenhim when his amusement wearied her.Scarcely a flirt—for she encouraged nodownright love-making—but a beauti-ful, fascinating woman, who woundedhearts with merely careless grace.

Musing in the sunset, it was impressedupon the prcud heart that, uncon-sciously, she had poisoned a life thatwas already sinking. There were capa-bilities for better things than dissipationand suicide in John Furber, and sheshivered as she thought he might beupon some dangerous precipice, waitingfor the clasp of the hand to draw himback, or its repulse to throw him over.3he passed in review her host of male'riends, and found none who had wak-ned her heart to hours of such keenpleasure as John Furber had given her.ihe tried to recall one mind whose graspof intellect had dwarfed her own as hislad done, who had met her fairly in somany arguments and worsted her, andshe could only remember soft flattery ofler "wonderful mind."

Finally, lifting her eyes with a softsigh, she saw him leaning against a treepposite the low window, looking at her.

A vivid flush stained her cheek as hesaid:

What can you have been thinkingof ? You have not stirred for half anlour. Only that your eyes were open,'. should have thought you asleep."

" Your powers of observation are mar-velous," she answered, lightly. "1 was[reaming."

"Of what?""The world in general, my world in

oarticular. It is almost time I returnedhere."

She was prepared for some polite show

father's to buy it, but John's earned aplace too by hard, honest work. Oh, mydear, I'm happier than I ever thoughtto be. Perhaps you've heard of the housein London that John is in. But I'll tireyou, writing about my affairs, I wouldn'tonly I thought perhaps you'll rememberJohn."

"In London," Leonie murmured; "sonear me all these years, and yet neverseeking me. Was I too bold ? Did I drivehim away by showing him my heart tooplainly? Well, even so, I am glad. Igave him the first start toward an honor-able manhood. Remember him? Yes,Mrs. Tollman, I do remember John."

She had folded the letter and was dress-ing for the opera, when a visitor was an-nounced.

"What a barbarous hour," she mur-mured, not looking at the card. "In afew moments, Jane."

She was robed in her fleecy dress ofwhite lace, over pale-blue silk, hadclasped diamonds on throat and wrists,and in the little ears, when, as she tookthe opera cloak from the maid's hand,she looked at the card:

"John Furber."A great heart-throb sent the blood over

her brow and neck; then it faded, leav-ing only a soft tint upon the fair cheeks,and iu the dark eyes a light of happinessharmonizing well with the smiling lips.

She looked like some visitant from an-other world, in the radiance of herbeauty, as she came across the widedrawing-room to the window where hestood.

He had not heard her light step, buthe turned when she was near, showingthe stamp of his better life in his nobleface.

He held out his hand, looking earn-estly into her face, and seeing she onlyspoke a happy truth, as, taking it, shesaid:

" I am glad to see you.""Leonie," he said,' "you gave me a

hope three years ago, that has borne meabove temptaticn and suffering to a po-sition where I am not ashamed to lookany man in the face. Leonie, you bademe—"

Blushing brightly, she took up thewords as he passed:

"To be a man, John, for my sake.""And I obeyed, you, my love, my dar-

ling. I have come for my reward, Le-onie, loving you with all my heart, dar-ing now to ask for your love in return."

So, society had a ripple of sensation ina fashionable wedding, when John Fur-ber married Miss Leonie Cameron.

But only you and I, reader, know theromance of the summer in S , of howJohn Fuiber redeemed his manhood forLeonie's sake.

In the Savings Department interest is paid at therate of five per cent, per annum, payable 8emi-an-mially, on the first days of January and July,on allsums that have remained on deposit three monthsprevious to those days, thus affording the people ofthis city and county a perfectly safe depository fortheir funds, together with a fair return in interfor the same.

of happy content, the anxiety was veryapparent to Leonie. Ss, after her firstcareless glance, she straightened herselfin her low chair, and said, quietly, yetwith every appearance of interest:

" What is the matter ?'An awkward pause followed that ques-

tion.Mrs. Tollman fidgeted under the in-

quiring glance of the dark eyes, clearedher throat twice, and finally said, withnervous emphasis:

" John Furber."Miss Cameron's face seemed to freeze.

It was a very beautiful face, with pridefor a leading expression. Sweetnesslurked in the mouth, intellect beamedfrom the radiant dark eyes, but prideshadowed all. It carried the small headgracefully erect, it swept the folds ofthe rich dresses with a regal motion. Ittouched the small patrician hands, andwas evident in the well-modulated tonesof tharefined voice.

" There," Mrs. Tollman said, despair-ingly, "I've made you mad already, andhaven't said anything."

" I am not mad," Leonie answered,and there certainly lurked a smile in hermouth at the good woman's consterna-tion : "But you have not told me whattroubles you."

'' It's—it's—John, Miss Cameron, and"—then rapidly, as if the words wereforced by a fear of her own inabilityto finish her self-appointed task, shehurried on. " He's my nephew, miss,as you know, though his father is arich man, very rich, and John is abovehis mother's place m her life. She'sdead, and John was spoiled somewherebetween the year she died and twoyears ago. I don't know where he tookto bad ways.

graveyard, so I love John."There was a piteous pleading in the

woman's face, but Leonie's was blank,save for an air of polite interest.

"He was most desperate when hecame here, bnt I've coaxed him up alittle. But—but—oh, Miss Cameron,you know what I want to say. You arebeautiful, rich—a lady far above me ineducation and position, and only stay-ing here for country quiet. I've noright to find fault, but—but don't flirtwith John. He is in trouble, despond-ent, disinherited, and he's falling inlove with you as fast as he can. I be-lieve if you play with him he will killhimself, body and soul."

Fairly out of breath with her ownearnest utterance, Mrs. Tollman paused,looking pleadingly in Leonie Cameron'sface. The expression of polite interestnever wavered, as that young lady said:

"If I understand you aright, you wishme to ignore your nephew. It is not eoeasy, as he is in your house, so I hadbetter leave it."

" Goodness I" cried the widow aghastat this interpretation of her words. " Inever meant that. Where can you findanother boarding place near here ?"

" I can return to London.""I've put my foot in it. John will

never forgive me," said Mrs. Tollmandisconsolately.

But there was no sympathy in Leo-nie's face, and she turned away at last,perplexed and more anxious than ever.And Leonie, sinking back in her chairagain, looked at the sunset clouds andvariegated foliage, and thought perhapsit was time to return to London.

She had come to S , weary with around of fashionable life, tired" of flat-tery, dancing, flirting, and she had foundrest and quiet under Mrs. Tollman'smotherly care. She was rich, richer farthan the landlady had any idea of; butshe had BO near relatives, only a second

in his face.She shuddered, remembering his

aunt's words." Going away ! Why, of course you

would be soon," he said, trying to sneakcarelessly, while his eyes hungrily de-voured her face, and his white parchedlips were drawn as if in sharp physicalpain.

" I have been here three months,"shesaid, feeling her own heart ache at hismisery.

"Yes, yes! You will go, certainly.""And you," she said, very gently,

' ' you will be in the city, I presume. Ishould be glad to welcome you to myhouse."

" No," he said, harshly; " I will nottake such advantage of your kindness;I am a man your friends would tell youto shun, Miss Cameron—a man who haswasted his life till it is too late to takeup the threads again. You do not know,perhaps, that my aunt keeps me herefrom charity ?"

" I know you have offended your fa-ther," she answered; " but you are aman, scarcely 30, and it is cowardly totalk of despair at your age."

Her words cut him like a whip-lash.The dark blood mounted to his foreheadas he repeated:

"Coward ! I might fight the wholeworld yet, but," and here his tone wasbitter, and yet strangely pathetic, "thebattle is scarcely worth winning. Whatwould I gain? Money? I do not valueit. Position ? I have thrown it behindme. I have played the fool, and I musttake the fool's wages."

" I will not have you say so," shesaid, roused by an earnestness she hadnever intended to betray. "You shallnot uselessly throw away your life."

A hope sprang to his eyes, new there,lighting them to dazzling radiance.

"Miss Cameron—Leonie," he cried,"were there a prize to win, were one'sheart's hope centered upon me, I wouldtrample down these demons of tempta-tion. I would prove myself a man if Ihad any motive."

There was no mistaking the prayer inhis eyes, the pleading in his voice.

Only for a moment, close to the lowwindow, before a hand like a snow flakefell upon his shoulder, a voice, low andswefet, murmured low in his ear :

"Be a man for my sake."She was gone before he spoke again,

and he wandered off to the woods tomuse upon a possibility of this new life.

The next day Mrs. Tollman lost hersummer boarder. Society, languidlycontemplating Miss Cameron for thenext three years, found her eccentric.

She was grave and gay by flashes, fas-cinating in either mood, but she wasmysteriously unapproachable.

The bravest suitor found himself metat the point where friendly attentionsmerge into lover's devotion'by a wull oficy reserve that was impassible. Shenever flirted, but she had the reputationof a flirt, because she was popular andadmired, and remained single until27. She was known to be truth-ful, and she had distinctly told severalinquisitive lady friends that she was notengaged, so there was not even the spiceof romance in the gossip.

S knew her not in those threeyears, but Mrs. Tollman was the recipi-ent of various hampers of city delica-cies from her, and would acknowledgethe same by letter.

One of those, dated three years after*the beautiful Miss Cameron left S ,after elaborately thanking that younglady for a hamper of dainties, added :

" Do you remember my nephew, JohnPurber ? He left me the day after youdid, and I fretted more than a little. Butho took a turn for good, Heaven be-thanked. He worked himself up, andto-day he writes me he has made iriendswith his father again, and is to be takeupartner in a commercial house. His

An Editor's Experience With a FemaleBook Agent.

The editor of the Santa Clara (Gal.)Echo is happily deaf, and thus tells ofhis adventure with a female book agent(the book was not a female, of ceurse):

We thought everybody in the Stateknew we were deaf, but once in a whilewe find one that i3 not aware of the fact.A female book-pedaler came to the officethe other day; she wished to dispose ofa book. She was alone in this world,and had no one to whom she could turnfor sympathy or assistance, hence weshould buy her book. She was UBmar-married, and had no manly heart intowhich she could pour her sufferings,therefore we ought to invest in a book.She had received a liberal education,and we could not, in consequence, payher less than $2 00 for a book. We hadlistened attentively, and here broke iuwith:

'' What did you say ? We've deaf."Sfee started in a lou-l voice and went

through her rigmarole. When she hadfinished we went and got a roll of paper,and, making it into a speaking trumpet,placed one end to our ear, and told herto proceed. She nearly broke a blood-vessel in her effort to make herselfheard. She commenced:

" l a m alone in this world "" It doesn't make the slightest differ-

ence to us. We are a husband and afather. Bigamy is not allowed in thisState. We are not eligible to pro-posals."

" Oh, what a fool the man is!" shesaid, in a low tone; then, at the top ofher voice, " I don't want to marry you;I want to sell-a-b-o-o-k!"

This last sentence was howled."We don't want a cook," we re-

marked, blandly; "our wife does thecooking, and she wouldn't allow as good-looking woman as you to stay in thehouse five minutes. She is very jeal-ous. "

She looked at us in despair. Gather-ing her robes about her, giving us aglance of contempt, she exclaimed:

" I do believe if a 300-pounder waslet off alongside that deaf fool's headhe'd think that somebody was knockingat the door."

You should have heard her slam thedoor when she went out. We heardthat,

A Bloodless Duel.A couple of colored gentlemen became

involved in a quarrel on Wednesday oflast week, at Simkins' liverv stable,when Simkins suggested that they re-tire beyond the incorporate limits andfight it out in accordance with the code.The suggestion was promptly acquiescedin, and in a few minutes all prelimi-naries were arranged for a terrible deathstruggle. The location selected was thegrove west of Dr. Taylor's residence;Messrs. E. B. B. and"W. D. S. volun-teered their services as seconds; Mr. J.F., provided with a carpenter's saw andrule, was selected as the surgeon ; Mr.J. L. was to provide breech-loadingrifles, and Mr. T. B. S. was chief direc-tor. The principals were posted, theseconds and surgeon assumed their re-spective stations, and the rifles, loadedwith blank cartridges, were placed in thehands of the belligerents.

Principal No. 1 was cool and deter-mined, and evidently meant himself, butNo. 2 was nervous and excited, and,when his ejes rested upon the glitteringbarrel of his gun, he exclaimed:"Look here, gemmen, dis ere gun's toobright for me I" and attempted to leavethe field. He was brought back andnotified that, unless he " stood up like aman," his second would shoot him down,whereupon he dropped his gun, seizedE. B. B. (his second) around the waist,and held him between himself and hisantagonist. The barricade was speedilyremoved, when the courageous negrofled from the field like a race horse,thus preventing "murder most foul."Those who witnessed the burlesque onthe code duello describe it as rich be-yond description, and at least one of theprincipals is cured of his bragging pro-pensities.— Mantieello (Oa.)

Other People's Eeelings and Failings.

Most of us have a very tender regardfor our own feelings. We do not like tohave them injured. We are amazed thatpeople can be so rude and clumsy as totread upon our toes, or roughly exposeto the air our scarcely healed wound.But so weak is human nature and soprone are we to think less generously ofothers than of ourselves, that we oftensin in the very way which we would beswifte jt to condemn in our neighbors.It is a great delight to meet, a man orwoman who is always considerate, gentleand polite in his treatment of those heor she meets in daily life.

This topic came up around the break-fast-table in a city house one morninglately. You, happy readers, who lirein the country, know comparatively lit-tle of the persistent annoyances whichcity folks undergo from the contin aalrappings and ringings, and shoutings andscreamings, of people who go from doorto door to buy, to sell, or to beg. Theroom in which the breakfast alluded towas being taken was a front basement,on a pleasant street, intersecting a busythoroughfare. Coffee was poured, bis-cuits had been passed, eggs were beiagbroken, fruit was being pared.

N. B.—Those who think it preferableto say eggs were breaking and fruit wasparing, are at liberty to do so.

Interruption No. 1—"Anyr-a-a ags?"The speaker darkened the window

with his head and dimmed the "shiningglass with his breath, as he hurled thisremark, ascending, interrogative, anddeclamatory, at our shivering ears.Somebody shook her curls at him pleas-antly, aM he departed, with a jinglingof bells at the hand-'*art he was wheel-ing along, and a fainter cry of "Anyr a-a-gs ? " gradually lessening in theair as he went his way.

Interruption No. 2—"Please ma'am,any cold meat and bread ? "

It is a little, blue-looking, pinched-looking mite of a boy, with a basketnearly as big as himself. "Don't on-courage professional beggars," says thegentleman of the house.

"Oh ! my dear," returns the lady, asshe sweeps the contents of the bread-plate into the not fastidiously-clean re-ceptacle. " I can't refuse a child whenhe looks as hungry as that little fellowdoes. Just think. It might be our ownHarry 1"

Interruption No. 3—Man rings thedoor-bell violently. Domestic responds.Presently she enters and inquires if themistress can step out and look at someprize packages of stationery, etc.

"Nol" cries paterfamilias, loudenough to be heard outside. " Tell himto be off with his trash !"

" My dear," the lady urges, seriously,having dismissed the children first, " Ido wish you would not be so impolite inyour manner to tramps and peddlers.It is their only way of earning a liveli-hood, and I think Christians ought to bekind to them."

" I fully agree with you. Your sen-timents and mine perfectly correspond,but your patience is greater than mine,you see. How you endure it, stayinghere all day, too, is quite beyond me tocomprehend. I believe in politeness toone's equals and superiors—but I won'ttake my hat off to inferiors."

"A tramp is not necessarily your in-ferior, my friend," observed the Philos-opher, who happened to be staying atthe house, and who was giving lecturesin the lyceum course. " I have heardof tramps who had at one time beenmillionaires, and of others who hadreceived the education of a university."

" I shouldn't wonder," said madame,meditatively balancing her spoon on thetransparent edge of her Sevres teacup—" I shouldn't wonder if you called Homera tramp, or Diogenes, if either of tnemwere living now."

"Very likely," replied monsieur, tak-ing up the newspaper to find out whetherour representatives in Congress had beengiving any more national object-lessonson good manners. And then the talkdrifted to the affairs of the day, what en-gagements each had, what visits were tobe made, what shopping done, whichclosets cleaned, etc., etc.

One person only remembered the morn-ing's discussion, and sat down to thinkupon this matter of courtesy. And shecame to the conclusion that courtesy isa word of very wide meaning. It is anindex-finger to character. You observea true lady, a true gentleman, anywhere.They cannot commit a rudeness. Itwould hurt them and jar them to woundthe feelings of the lowest and the far-thest below them. To be truly politeimplies that one shail be thoughtful ofthe feelings of everybody, and of infe-riors most of all.

When are we to begin our training inthis regard?

With our little children, at once. Donot permit Susy or Jennie, unroproved,to bother or tease i r annoy Bridget iuthe kitchen. Never let them allude toher as the " servant-girl," or speak of" servant-girls " in her presence. Thephrase may define her position, but shedoes not like to hear it, and it takes offthe bloom of their refinement everytime they use it. Do not jump to pickup your own thimble which has rolledaway when Charlie is in the room. Lethim bring it to you, and say "Thankyou " to him for the kindness.

Do not encourage in yourself thehabit of criticising and commentingupon the foibles or faults of any mem-ber of your own family. There is noth-ing gained by it, and a great deal is lost.Love itself is often choked back andhindered in its growth by the rank stur-diness of weeds which spring up againstit, unchecked, in houses where peoplesay all manner of ungentle speeches toeach other.

If you want to cultivate real happi-ness, cultivate goodness. Think more

of others' excellent qualities than oftheir failings, and be gentle and amiableto all.—Christian at Work.

THE LONDON TIMES.Interior "Workings of the *' Thunderer."

[London Cor. Balfmore Sun.]Permit me to say a few words as to the

modus operandi of journalists on thechief London press. Since Mr. Delainehas ceased to be the chief " leader " edi-tor of the Times, and is a valetudinarianin the south of France, many changeshave taken place in the writing depart-ments of "The Fourth Estate Thun-derer." Three representatives of thegreat universities—Oxford, Cambridge,and Trinity College, Dublin—now sit injudgment on the leaders they respective-ly write. There is always a supply ofold-stock leaders ready in type, held inabeyance for the proper time in theTimes' chief office. These are underlock and key and the supervision andcustody of two men, who are heldresponsible for them. Obituary criti-cisms of celebrated men or personages ofthe world are always ready in type, sub-ject to finish or amendments. One gen-tleman in particular has charge of thisdepartment, with some three or four sub-editors under him. Most of the " lead-ers " of the Times on daily events thatare fresh, are written by the universitymen I alluded to. They sit in counciland amend, alter, or reject, as seemsprudent. This is done between thehours of 10 and 12 p. m. I have known,however, the best "leaders" writtenfor the Times of the same day at 3 a. m.,or two hours before going to press.The late Lord Palmerston frequentlysent "leaders" to the Times, after adebate in Parliament, when the clockwas striking 4 in the morning. Hismode was after this manner: "LordPalmerston's compliments to the editorof the Times, and begs to say:" Herecommenced the "leader," the chiefnight editor first carefully examining itand cutting off the bit above quoted be-fore sending it to the compositors orchief foreman. At present this foremanor press manager is Mr. MacDonald, aSsotchman about 37 years of age, but akeen and far-seeing man. Here let menote another matter. Press cable newslience to America goes at 5:30 a. m. for" ~ i cents per word. Before that hourthe charge is 25 cents per word. From5:30 a. m. to 12 m. you can send cablenews hence to America for 12£ cents perword. The aim of American newspapermen in Europe is to give their papers athome the first and best service of news.They have to contend with one or morenews associations here, and the efforts[o get an early edition of the morningpapers are humorous to behold. Manyi ruse has been employed to get a copyof the Times to skim its " specials " andforward them in season to New York. Acertain paper styled "enterprising"took much pains in many ways to getthe Times under such early circum-stances. Mr. MacDonald "espied thestranger," as they say in the House ofCommons, and lay in wait for him. Anold copy of the body of the Times wasprepared with the new date put on thehead Line. The "enterprising" Col. A.,like a rat-terrier at a hole where no ratis, was fussing and smiling, having onlya few minutes to send off his skimmingsas "specials." Words alone were whathe wanted; sense he had not time todwell on. Off went many words, and ata cost of $50 per ten words in thosedays. Out came the great " enterpris-ing" detonator, and all Gotham wasamazed. Since then Mr. MacDonaldhas not been troubled much by demandsfor early copies of the Times.

Just Like Boys.A Medina boy invited several of his

friends to his father's house to have agood time trie other evening. The boyswere given the dining-room "all tothemselves." When the lady of thehouse ventured to look in upon the happyparty the picture presented was not ex-actly of a kind to quiet her nerves. Anadjoining bed-room had been despoiledof its bed. The straw-tick had beenplaqed in the middle of the dining-room, and one of the lads had workedhis way inside of it, until all that ap-peared v,'as his head. A battle was inprogress, and pillows were used as weap-ons. Several squirfc-guns also did goodservice on the flanks and wall-paper,while various kinds of liquids served asammunition. In the midst of all thisthe lady of the house meekly inquiredif that was the way they acted when theywent visiting. "Shof that's nothing,"said one. " Down to B 's the othernight we got his fat hog in the parlor,tapped hit cistern and let the water out,and then took down the kitchen stoveand set it up in the garret."—Medina(Ohio) Register.

Naughty Papa.About noon yesterday a portly, digni-

fied gentleman chanced to meet hisdaughter, a handsome, stylish littlemiss, wearing a jaunty velvet hat, andwith her hair rolled up at the back ofhead in the shape of a Vienna bunu,sauntering down Vine street under theescort of a young man dressed with ex-cruciating scrupulousness and exceedingtaste. The old gentleman stopped hisdaughter, and, without noticing the con-fusion their meeting threw her into,commenced talking about the weather,her shopping, etc. She listened duti-fully a moment or two, and then re-marked, referring to her esccort, "Papa,this is Mr. ." Papa, however, paidno attention to the young man, but kepton talking. Again she said, "Papa, youdidn't hear me ; this is Mr. ."

"Yes, yes, my girl, I heard you,"said the old gentleman, with an impa-tient wave of the nand. " I heard you,and I don't care to know Mr. ."

The immediate departure of thatyoung man in a very shrunken-up con-dition was one of the funniest sights oithe day.—Cleveland Herald.

A " Busted » Weather Prophet.Couch, the Iowa weather prophet, has

gone clean out of business, hopelesslybankrupt; can't pay 15 cents on the dol-lar. And here is what "h'isted" him.This is his prophecy for July:

"July, 1878, will be windy, cool, andduring the last half quite showery. TheJuly harvesters should use extra care insetting up the grain, and in stacking.The storm periods will be from the 1stto the 3d; 6th to the 7th, cool; 12th to15th, severe; 27th to 28th, severe; and30th to 31st, cool. The marked cooldays will be near the 4th, 7th, 15th, 28thand 31st."

To KEEP TIIE HOUSE COOL.—An EastIndian traveler writes to an exchange:"If people were to shut up and darkentheir houses in the coolest hours of themorning, leaving only apertures enoughfor ventilation, and to those apply loofie-ly-woven mats c-f fragrant grass, andkeep them wet, every breath of air com-ing into the house would take up themoisture, and the temperature withinwould be reduced many degrees."

CINDERS IN THE EYE.—Having noticedtwo communications in your journallately under the above heading, permitme to give you a very simple remedyI have used for years with success : Asmall camel's hair brush dipped in waterand passed over the ball of the eye onraising the lid. The operation requiresno skill, takes but a moment, and in-stantly removes any cinder or particle ofdust or dirt without inflaming the eye.—Cor. Scientific American.

SUBSTITUTES FOR ICE.—The followingare recommended by a Southern news-paper as freezing powders, which mayprove useful in hot weather where ice isnot obtainable: 1. Four pounds sulphateof soda, two and a half pounds each ofmuriate of ammonia and nitrate of pot-ash; when about to use, add double theweight of all the ingredient in water. 2.Equal parts of nitrate of potash andmuriate of ammonia; when required foruse, add more than double the weightin water. 3. Nitrate of ammonia andwater in equal portions. Carbonate ofsoda and nitrate of ammonia, equalparts, and one equivalent of water.

A SIMPLE mode of testing the inflam-mability of coal oil: In a small cup orglass place a small quantity of oil to betested; immerse in the oil the bulb of agood thermometer; suspend the cupcontaining the oil in a vessel of water;move about close to the surface of theoil a lighted taper, and note the degreeon the thermometer at which the oil be-gins to emit inflammable vapor (theflashing point), and again that at whichthe oil inflames. Oil to be used in lampsshould not take fire below 115 deg. Fah-renheit. In applying the lighted taperthe flame must be kept away from theglass of the thermometer.

MANY people are puzzled to understandwhat the terms "fourpenny," and "six-penny "and "tenpenny" means as ap-plied to nails. "Fourpenny" meansfour pounds to the 1,000 nails, or " six-penny " six pounds to the 1,000, and soon. It is an old English term, andmeant at first "tenpound" nails (the1,000 being understood); buttheold En-glish clipped it to " tenpun," and fromthat it degenerated until " penny " wassubstituted for "pounds." So when youask for fourpejmy nails nowadays youwant those of which 1,000 will weighfour pounds. When 1,000 nails weighless than one pound they are calledtacks, brads, etc., and are reckoned byounces.

A Story That Hayes Narrowly EscapedAssassination.

While it is fresh in my memory, letme tell a story which came to me directlast night from a party who was interest-ed in the matter. We were discussingthe subject of the Lincoln assassination,and the avidity with which each particu-lar of that crime was now devoured bythe hungry public, and he told me how,by almost an accident, the life of Presi-dent Hayes was preserved on the day ofthe inauguration. On the evening ofthe 3d a young man went to a Catholicpriest in this city, and said he was ingreat trouble and had come for advice.With a few words of encouragement fromthe monk, he proceeded to state that hehad met during the day an acquaint-ance, a gentleman from Chicago, whotold him he was here for the purpose ofshooting Mr. Hayes the next day whilehe should be delivering his inauguraladdress, adding: " I have known himfor some time, father; he means what hesays, and I really believe he has brooded o long over the election frauds thathe will carry out his design. I am aDemocrat. 1 do not want Mr. Hayesseated, but I cannot tolerate the idea ofmurder, nor do I better like the idea ofbetraying that man, who may or maynot be sane. What shall I do?" "Do?"said the friar, " wait until I change myhabit for my coat and I will tell you."He asked the young man to accompanyhim, and they went to the residence ofMcDevitt, a well-known detective, find-ing him at home. The priest told theman to repeat his story, and to showMcDevitt where to find the would-beassassin. The father left them, and fourhours later McDevitt camo to his houseand informed him he had gone to thehotel, found the gentleman in the midstof a perfect arsenal of weapons, putthem and him in a carriage and con-veyed I oth to police headquarters,wherethey were kept until the 5th of March,when the gentleman was sent with anurse to his home. His mind was quiteunhinged by political excitement, andhe wi8 in a condition most favorable toemulate the example set by that crazyactor, Booth.— Washington Letter toCincinnati Enquirer.

Its Eftect.A month before the bombardment of

Fort Fisher began, the celebrated pow-der explosion occurred which was in-tended to blow down this solid earth-work, a mile in extent, with forty-feettraverses every few yards. Its ridicu-lous failure is well remembered. Thatnight after the explosion of the powder-ship some pickets on the beach werecaptured and carried on board the Ad-miral's ship. Among them wns a verysolemn-looking follow, who sat silentlyand sadly chewing tobacco. As therewas intense curiosity among the officersof the fleet to know the result of the re-markable experiment, one of them askedthe solemn-looking "reb" if he was inthe fort when the powder-ship exploded,to which he replied in the affirmative,but without exhibiting the least interestin the matter; whereupon the officersgathered around him and began to askquestions.

' You say you were inside the fort ?"' Yaas, I was thar."' What TY as the effect of the explo-

sion?"' Mighty bad, sir—powerful bad !"' Well, what was it ? Speak out."' Why, stranger, hit waked up pretty

nigh every man in the fort!"

MANURE from a fattening cow is su-perior to that of a milk cow. There isa deficiency of the phosphates in themilk cows' droppings.

FOR some sorts of vegetables, as let-tuce, cress, radishes and others, theChinese system of keeping the soil con-tinuously wet is the best that can beadopted. It produces a crispness in thevegetables that is obtained only whenthere has been no check in the growth.

FARMERS should be advised not to tryto economize by mowing too close. Anold farmer of our acquaintance used tosay that he thought "it was better toleave the lower joint for the old brindlecow than to save it for her;" and wewonder that all sensible farmers do notheed this advice.

FRUITS gathered in the afternoon aroless acrid than when gathered in themorning, because fruits are ripened bythe conversion of the acid they containinto sugar, and, since this requires theaid of light and heat, the interveninghours between morning and afternoonproduce the difference in their ripeness.

IT is computed that in the year 1875there were 10,000,000 cows kept for dairypurposes in this country, which, at $45per head, were worth $450,000,000. Theland needed for their support repre-sents $900,000,000 more, and the capitalinvested in teams, dairy implements,etc., $100,000,000, making a grand totalof $1,450,000,000 invested in this singleindustry.

To RENDER timber fire-proof : Saturateit as far as may be with strong aqueoussolutions of sodium tungstate (crude),silicate (water glass) or sulphate ; am-monium sulphate has also been used.Wood thus preserved is not ignited bysparks, or transient contact with flame.Unaltered woody fiber cannot, however,be rendered, by these or other simplemeans, incombustible.

To EXTERMINATE red ants on the lawn,the best thing is cyanide of potassium,about one ounce to a pint of water.Trace the ants to their nests and thenpour the cyanide in. It will not hurtthe grass, but rather help it. As it isa most deadly poison, no more shouldbe bought than will be used up at once,or if more is procured it should be keptin a corked bottle and plainly labeled.—Toronto Oiobe.

THE washing of stems and largebranches of trees with a solution of car-bolic acid soap dissolved in lukewarmwater, and a portion of the flour of sul-phur mixed with it, is a good method fordestroying the insects. The best timeto do the washing is after the springopens. It will then stick to the trees,and when the insects come out the poi-son kills them in their infant state, andby that the foliage and fruits of the treesmay be saved.

SOWING WHEAT.—Experiments at dif-ferent depths favor, in ordinary soils,one or two inches. Samples of pureseed sown one-half inch in depth cameup in eleven days, seven-eighths of theseed germinating; that sowed one inchin depth came up in twelve days, and allgerminated; two inches deep, seven-eighths of it came up in eighteen days;three inches deep, three-quarters of itcame up in twenty days; four inchesshowed a growth of one-half, that cameup in twenty-one days; five inches, onlyone-half grew and came up in twenty-two days, while that planted six inchesdeep came up in twenty-three days, butonly one-third germinated.—PracticalFarmer.

To KILL WILD OATS.—There is probrbly no plant that a thorough summerallow will not kill in time. By perse-

verance the ground may be totally freedfrom vegetation of all kinds. But thereare some plants the growth of which isactually encouraged by partial summer-fallows, badly conducted. A slimmer-fallow, to be effective, must kill everysprouting root or seed while it is in itsearly, tender stages by constant plow-ing, harrowing and cultivating. Bien-nial roots must be harrowed out, andthose that possess great vitality must bepicked off and removed from the land.Such a summer-fallow is costly, and it isalmost equally effective to grow a suc-cession of hoed crops, such as corn, po-tatoes or roots alternated with crops ofquick and close growth, such as peas,buckwheat, flax or clover. To grow fallwheat upon foul land is only to perpetu-ate the weeds.—American Agricult-urist.

ENGLAND declines to send commis-sioners to the monetary convention in-vited by Congress.

THE National-Ureenbackers disagreeon many points but unite in protestingagainst the further issue of any inter-est-bearing bonds for any purposewhatever. They would stop tho sale ofthe four per cents, with the proceeds ofwhich the six per cents are being re-deemed and two per cent, saved to thepeople.

JOHN DAWSOX, the Xational-lireeu-back candidate for Congress in the Thirddistrict, has opened his campaign bat-tery. In a recent speech at a picnic inGilead, Branch County, ho advocated"fiat money" and declared himself infavor of demonetizing both gold andsilver. As John is a progressive he willprobably next repudiate greenbacksand go in for corn cob money.

ISSUE more greenbacks, pay up thebonds (whether due or not due), andcompel the now "bloated bondholder"to invest his money iu some kind ofbusiness or loan it to privato individu-als. So says the average greenbackorator. And this when all the banks ofthe State are full of money for whichthey cannot find borrowers, full ofmoney which their customers dare notinvest in mills or factories or farms orhouses or lands beoause they do notknow what the financial legislation isto be,—do not know whether a green-back (the modern measure of value,because a legal tender) is to be made atpar with gold and silver coin—themoney of the Constitution and of thecommercial world—or whether it is tobe indefinitely inflated and made worth90, 80, 60 or 50 cents on the dollar. Letthe Government and the banks resumespecie payment and let it be understoodthat a dollar greenback or a dollar banknote is and is to be, henceforth and for-ever, the equivalent of a coin dollarand the idle money will seek invest-ment, and manufactures and commerceand trade and business of all kinds bestimulated into new and healthy andvigorous life.

SENATOR MCDONALD, of Indiana, isconsidered a sound Democrat, and asyet bis loyalty to Democratic principleshas not been questioned, even by thoseDemocrats who hug the "rag baby" totheir bosums and imagine that out ofOhio or Indiana no true Democrat ex-ists : that is unless he swears by theaforesaid Ohio and Indiana Democracy.Yet Senator McDonald said in a recentspeech at Logansport, Indiana:

"A specie basis is the normal financial con-dition of every commercial country, becausespecie in the same manner forms the standardof value. If we had no trade or commerceit would not matter what medium of exchangewas adopted between ourselves, but we are tcommercial nation and people, and it is uecessary to have our standard of value approximatethe standard of value in other countries. Wecanuot afford to use currency, because in dis-regard to the world's currency we fail to pro'vide for ourselves. A nation that has de-parted from this rule must lose its positionunless it return to specie payment as soon aspracticable."

And again :"I do not consider the question of our cur-

rency settled uutil specie payment is resumed."

No " irredeemable " currency aboutthat, no "fiat" or "absolute" money, andno inflation even, for with greenbackinflation there cannot be resumption ofspecie payment. Once more :

"I cannot believe that Congress possesses thepower to coin money out of paper.

The treasury note Senator McDonaldbelieves in is the use of tho "credit" ofthe Government, is a promise to pay, apromise to be redeemed, a promise basedon specie and convertible into specie atthe will of the holder. We commendSenator McDonald's views to our edi-torial brethren who continue to de-nounce the financial plank of the Mich-igan Democratic platform while theysound the praises of the Indiana De-mocracy,

THE Ohio Democrat is the model ofof the Michigan Democrat with softmoney or greenback proclivities, andthe Democrat who pronounces in favorof gold and silver coin as the moneyof the Constitution antagonizes theright of the Government to make itspromises to pay, its evidences of debta legal tender, and protests againstinflation of such promises to an ir-redeemable volume, is continuallypointed to his Ohio brothers and ad-vised to repeat' their creed. Hon.George H. Pendleton is one of theseOhio Democrats and has recently beenelected to the United States Senate asthe successor of Stanley Matthews, andof course must be recognized as author-ity. This same Mr. Pendletou was amember of Congress in 1862, and thebill providing for the issue of treasurynotes (or the first batch of greenbacks)being under discussion, said :

"I have examined, Mr. Chairman, with somecare, every law authorizing? the issue of treas-ury notus winch has been passed from thefoundation of the Government up to this hour,and I find that this bill differs troui all of themiu several essential particulars. Every otherlaw authorizing the issue of treasury notesprovided that they should bear some rate ctinterest, whereas these are to bear noue ; thatthey should be payable at a fixed time pre-scribed in the note, whereas these are only tolie payable at the pleasure of the UnitedStates; that the notes thereby authorizedshould be receivable iu payment of publicdebts only by those who were willing to re-ceive them at par, while these notes are to bereceived by every pubiio creditor who is notwilling to forfeit his right tu payment at all.These notes are to be made lawful money, anda legal tender in discharge of all pecuniaryob.igations, either by the Government or byindividuals, a characteristic which has neverbeen given to any note of the United Statesor any note of the bank of the United Statesby auy law ever passed. Not ouly, sir, wassuch a law never passed, but euch a law was

never voted on, never proposed, never intro-duced, never recommeuded by any depart-ment of the Government; the measure wasnever seriously entertained in debate iu eitherbranch of Congress."

Mr. Pendleton further said that thobills so far as it mado the notes a legaltender for existing contracts would" shock the mind of the legal pro-fession of the whole country, sothoroughly has it been imbued withthe idea of the sancitity of the obliga-tion of contracts by those who havetaught it the beneficent maxims of con-stitutional law." And against the billus a whole Mr. Pendlaton placed him-self on record by the use of this eui •phatic language :

"Sir, it seems to me that if the language ofthe Constitution, and the weight of authoritycan settle any proposition, it is that Congresshas not the power to do that which it is pro-posed shall be done by the provisions of tinsbill."

If an act in 1862 providing for anissue of treasury or legal tender noteswas so clearly unconstitutional, wouldan act of 1879 or 1880 be any less un-constitutional ? Or should MichiganDemocrats change front and positionmerely to follow the weather-cock De-mocracy of Ohio?

THOMAS JEFFERSON was an opponentof the old National Bank, ho was anopponent of all banks of issue, and bewas equally an opponent of treasuryuotes auch as are now kuowu as green-backs or legal tenders. The treasuryuote he favored was made payable ou agiven day, and when issued a specifictax wan to be levied and pledged forits redemption. Such is not the presentlegal teuder, aud such is not tho pro-posed " fiat" monoy of Sam Cary, BrickPomeroy, Mosos W. Field, aud theirfollowers. Jeffursou was no believer inwealth created by the printing press.Witness his own language : " Capital" may be produced by industry and ac-cumulated by economy; but jugglers"only propose to create it by legerde-"main tricks with paper." Jeffersouwas a Democrat but not a demagogue,aud the greenbacker of to-day canuotfather any of his vagaries upon thatold-school statesman.

Xnggets HI Wisdom.Uoratio Seymour, of Now York, gives

forth no uncertain sound on the moneyquestion

will take care to gut good security. Therace of money-lenders never made gainas rapidly as in that age when the poortried to oxtort wealth by tortures fromthe miserable Jews. The more harsh,unjust or brutal the public sentiment orthe laws, the higher will be the rate ofinterest demanded by those who havemoney from those who need it. In acountry of great undeveloped resourcesand many hopeful and enterprising bor-rowers, the man is a public enemy, andparticularly an enemy of the borrow-ing class, who tries to disturb the foun-dations of credit or to impair the se-curity of capital.

POLITICAL CHi'PimS.We have called the attention hereto-

fore of those who advocato "concilia-tion" of the Nationals and "fusion" withthem on local tickets to the scorn withwhich the Nationals repudiate the ideaof conciliation or fusion ; but there isanother point worth considering in thesame connection. It is a part of theconciliation idoa that if the Democraticplatform at Lansing had been a littleless outspoken on finance or if it hadfollowed tho Ohio platform more closelyvoters would have been deterred fromacting with the National party who arenow determined to do so. For a fullanswer to this it is only necessary tolook at the condition of affairs in Ohio.The Democratic platform in that Stategoes quite as far in the "National" di-rectiou as the most ultra advocate oftbo conciliation policy iu Michigandreamed of suggesting. So far as thecurrency matter is ooncerued there ispraotioally very little to choose betweenEwing, tho Ohio Democrat, aud Cary,the high-priest of Nationalism. Yet inthe very State of Ohio the Nationalparty flourishes quite as vigorously asit does iu Michigan and reeeivos rela-tively quite as great a proportion of its

! strength from tho Democratic party.' Aud if a certain class of Democratscould not be returned iu the party inOhio by tho extraordinary concessionwhich tho party platform makes in thatState it is idle to arguo that a similarclass in Michigan could have b«en dif-ferentiy affected.— Free Prm

Mr. Foster proposes that the "SolidSouth" should be for an indefinite periodconfronted by the "Solid North," whichof course meuns that the one businessof the Kepublioan orator aud editorand politician at the north shall beabuse and depreciation of the South,and the promotion of hostile feelingstowards Southern men.

Mr. Foster's are followed.as saying:" The west deals directly with the

markets of the world. It sells morethan it buys, and to make tuemost money it needs a currency whichis the standard of value in use by thecommercial world. Moreover, the westgains enormous advantages from cheaptransportation, and he pointed out thatsince the paper currency has risen invalue and nearly to the standard ofgold the grain aud provision productshave been carried to the seaboard at lessthan one-third the cost which had to bepaid when the currency was inflated.The west, he says, has not only gainedgreatly by cheap transportation, but ithas been able, with a currency nearlyat par with gold to sell vast amounts ofits products at a profit in the east andin .Europe, which could not have goneto either market under inflat on charges.The west never sold so much nor boughtwhat it needs so cheap as in these lateryears when gold and greenbacks arenearly equal in value. The reports show-that western farmers can compete inthe European markets with the grainaud produce of Europe only if theyhold to a sound currency, and thatthe whole west now commands andcontrols the eastern and Europeanmarkets and is gaining iu wealth tasterthan ever it did before. A new inflationwould cause it to lose all its preseut ad-vantages."

Mr. Seymour speaks as a Democratand says it is a good thing to give all dis-satisfied elements an opportunity to beheard. While their theories may befalse, still they prove that those who en-tertain them are in trouble, and they willbring out many facts which will be ofvalue. The discussions of this year willbe of great use to cure them. He doeRnot entertain fears of suiious resultsfrom the communistic or socialisticmovements. He points out that it is notthe poor but the formerly wealthy whohave suffered most iu the long period ofdepression, and that government bondsare not owned by capitalists, but areheld in the main by savings banks andlife insurance companies, as trustees forthe industrious masses.

He says it is a curious fact thatwealthy manufacturers of New Englandand Pennsylvania have been preachingthe doctrine of communism in arguingthat a class of American laborers mustbe protected and supported by taxingAmerican citizens through a protectivetariff. Speaking of New Pork specu-lators he says there canuot be a moreghaBtly satire on Wall street than tospeak of its bloated capitalists when itis a charnel house, full of the skeletonsof dead corporations, wh'le those thatare left are shrunk to skin and bone.A list of its banruptcies will show thatthere is not a spot on earth where afinancial epidemic has slain suoh a mul-titude of bankers, brokers, and spec-ulators.

Who will be Helped .'from the New York Tribune.

Suppose the government issued allthe currency, and the banks issued none,where would the man who wiuts capi-tal go for it ? Not to the treasury. Thogovernment borrows, but does not lend.Necessarily, he would go to a moneylender; perhaps to the very one whonow manages a national bank. More-over, he would pay at least as high iuterest as he pays for money borrowedfrom a national bank. Nobody will goup and down iu the land lendingmoney for nothing, or for omaller inter-est, because the government has issuedmore greenbacks. He who has capitalwill still demand pay for the use of it,and he who lacks capital will still haveto borrow it as best he can. The menwho are now national bankers will, ofcourse, take their capital out of thatbusiness, when they can no longer iesuecurrency; being acquainted with themoney lending business, they will nat-urally become private bankers. Ofcourse, they will sell the bonds now ondeposit; they cannot afford to havemoney drawing only four or four andone-half or five per cent, interest, whenthey can lend it as private bankers atseven or eight per cent. Somebodyelse, perhaps iu Europe, will draw theinterest fioiu government. The banker,getting back his own capital, will lendit as he does now,and the man who needsit and burrows will pay at least as muchfor it.

Who, then, will be helped? Not thegovernment; it will pay to some holderof its bonds exactly the interest whichit pays to a national bank. Not theborrowers; they will go to the bankerfor oapital, as before, and will pay himas much for it as they pay now. Possi-bly the banker, for he will tbeu be en-gaged in a business which no knavishrepudiator can imperil. He will carenothing for the credit of the govern-ment, except as auy citizen may care,be will be lending his own money, and

counsels as Mr. Foster's areNo party can in our time live on hatealone ; it must show the capacity togovern. A man of Mr. Foster's sensesurely cannot expect the Sonth to reveal in one short year its gratitude forhaving been subjected for twenty yearsto the lule of the little party of jailbirds who have been testifying beforethe Potter committee.—AT. Y. Alatio,The Fifth Congressional district (Grand

Rapids, etc.,) which was the strongholdof inflationism in this State, is alreadythe sceue of an interesting split, due tothe circumstance that there were half adozen patriots who wanted the nomina-tion for Cougresr and the party had butono nomination to give out. One otthe reasons for which the two old par-ties are condemned in the Washingtondeclaration of principles is that theyare under the control of office-seekers.We are convinced this is the real griev-ance of the greenback leaders. Therewere so many office-seekers in the oldorganizations" that there was really noroom for the immenso brood of the samecattle which has developed of late, anda new party was absolutely necessary togiue them occupation. The process hashardly gone far enough, howover, as ournational friends have proved so prolificin this regard that it will certainly benecessary to start two or three moreparties to give them all a chance.There is sufficient diversity in theirprinciples to start twenty.—Detroit Kee-ning Xewt).

The South Carolina Republicans, attheir State Convention, rehearsed theold story of bull-dozing, and declaredthat, owing to their apprehension ofinterference from the rittu-clubs, it wasinexpedient to nominate a ticket. Thispretense is too gauzy to deceive any-body. The only fear entertained bythe authors of the resolutions, is onewhich is very clear and well defined,and relates exclusively to the certaintythat'the Republican party will be un-able to make a respectable appearanceat the next election. Abstention fromvoting under a pretended apprehensionof violence, will enable them to lie ab-surdly, but without fear of detection,as to their numbers, while to count outtheir ballots from tho boxes on olectionday would afford an infallible test ofthe actual strength of parties.— ChicagoTimes.

The Republican party in South Caro-lina has found its mission at last andgone into it right nobly. The StateConvention, just adjourned, transactedits ontire business at the expense ofonly thirteen dollars and fifty cents.This economic success, assuming that itwas achieved on a cash basis, is uniquein the history of recorded politics,what so small an amount of moneywould pay for, outside of room rent andnecessary stationery, is not easy to im-agine, but it certainly was insufficientto cover any collations, telegrams im-ploring or affrighting, brass bands,torchlight processions, heartstirringposters and circulars, or appeals to thefaithful for funds. Wo trust that thisnew departure in political methods willreceive the attention that it merits.—N. r. Herald.

Respectable Massachusetts is oncemore in a panic over the prospect ofButler's candidacy for Governor. Fora while it was hoped and believed thathe would coutent himself with runningfor Congress again. But this erraticpolitician insists on doing the thingwhich he is not wanted to do. Or, as aTimes correspondent puts the case, no-body has said that he shall not go toCongress, therefore he does not want togo. But there is a very general wishthat he shall not be Governor, and he isaccordingly determined to be a candi-date.— N. V. Times.

The greenback party of New Yorkhas adopted as one of the planks of itsplatform, that the government oughtnat to pay interest on its debts. Menwho adopt such g platform aro beyondthe reach of any argument that can beput into words.—Niles Democrat.

One of the most curious things aboutthe nominations of the new National orWorkingmen's party is, that as a generalthing it is not the horny-handed sonsof toil, but wealthy capitalists that getthe best positions on their ticked. Thisis especially true with regard to theirCongressional nominees. — PittsburghDispatch.

Ira II. Card,Of Hillsdale is the Democrat candidote

for Congress in this district. Mr. Cardis well kuowu and desorvedly popularin his section. He was triumphantlyelected as Mayor of Hillsdalo, when thecity aud county were hopelessly Repub-lican. It is now thoroughly Green-back, or Democratic, the coming electionmust determine which. One thing iscertain, it is lost to the Republicans,with the great change that has takenplace in the southern part of tho dis-trict, the show for the election of aDemocrat is good, if the party will pulltrue. There is no good reason why theyshould not. With a Congress Demo-cratic in both houses reforms can be ef-fected that will be impossible with ahouse divided, and "Nationals" holdingthe balance of power. Tbo next Sen-ate is irrevocably Democratic, and noDemocrat should cast a vote to preventthe House from being so. Let us givethe old party a fair chance, and thenhold it to a strict accountability.— Ypsi-lanti Sentinel.

After eighteen years of hard lightingand struggling, and after being de-frauded two years ago of the only greatviotory the Democratic party won dur-ing that long term, the Democrats arenot going to deliberately abandon thefield to their Republican foe by sup-porting and sustaining a party composedf sore heads and demagogues, andased on barren ideas.

too sensible for that.— I'ontiae Bill Potter

Jail Statistics for 1877.Condensed from the Lansing Republican.

The jail statistics for 1877, as com-piled in the office of the Secretary ofState and recently issued, contains manyimportant and interesting statements inrelation to the number of petty crimescommitted in the several oounties inMichigan, the cost of maintaining jailsand prisons, and the influence of edu-cation in the mitigation of crime.

The total number of prisoners in thejails at the beginning of 1877 was 270against 244 in 1876. The number re-ceived during the year was 6751, or 289loss than in 1876. The number of malesreceived during the "year was 6,233, ofwhich number 317 were under 18 yearsof age.

The uumber of males charged withhigh dimes was 1,696, against 1,619 in1876. The number of females chargedwith high crimes was 115, against 63 in1876. Of the total number chargedwith high crimes 67 were under 18years of age. In 1876 there were 87juveniles. Tho number of femalescharged with minor offenses was 370,being 88 loss than in 1876. Of tho totalnumber charged with minor offenses,269 wore under 18 years of age, being54 less than in 1876.

The total number of witnesses cou-fined iu the jails during 1877 was 30,and the number of debtors 70.

Of the total number confined in thejails in 1877, 380 were sent to the StatePrison, 684 to the Detroit House ofCorrection, and 77 to the State ReformSchool. There were 32 prisoners es-caped and 350 remained in tbe jails atthe close of the year.

Of the total prisoners confined 456,or 8 per cent., oould not read, and 675,or 10 per cent., were unable to write.The total cost of maintaining the jailswas $82,290.68; and tho total expenseof arresting and detaining prisonerswas $102,406.13. In 1876 the cost ofmaintaining jails was (71,842.36, andthe cost of arresting and detainingprisoners was •? 104,947.25. The expen-se, therefore, of maintaining prisonersin 1877 was about 11 percent, greaterthan iu 1876, although tbe number wasreduced ; but the expenses of arrestingand detaining prisoners were about 2 1-2uer cent.

RANDOM NOTICS.— Gen. Sherwood, ot Toledo, formerly a

Mr. Thom-as, candidate fur Congress iu this district, whohas within six mouths twice been a candidatefor iflice on the Republican tickst and agaiustt le greenbackers, said a few words aud rnAdea few contingent promises, —contingent onhis election. II. J. Haire, of Jackson, un-leaded himself vigorously, aud R. E. Fruzer,of this city, made hie maiden greenbackspeech, and pledged himself first to take careof himself and work for his own interests.secondly, to let his voice be heard from this toelection wherever he could get a hearing inthis Congress'.cual district (provided, we sup-pose, Thomas' " barrel of money " holds out);aud thirdly, to raaiutaiu the interests of thelaborer agaiust the capitalist, ltobert makesa serious mistake if he assumes that the inter-ests of the laborer and the capitalist are at allantagonistic. Tho laborer cannot find em-ployment unless somel'odv' is able to hire audpay him, an-1 that somebody is for the time be-ing a capitalist, though it may be on a smallscale. Where capital is most abundant andmost active there the laborer will find thesteadiest employment and the best wages. Andto have abundant capital there must needs becapitalists.

THE AUGUS—PKHSONA1..As the proposed publisher of a uew paper iu

this city has for nearly two months widely ad-vertised his belief iu the " non-existence ofsound Democratic paper at the county seataud continually " shoots off his mouth " to Usame effect, we deem it a privilege as well:a duty to copy the following paragraph froithe Free Press of June '28, a paper not unknown to the Democracy of this city ancouuty, and whose opinion is certainly wortas much as is that of the aspiring fledgolinwho has undertaken the %|ob of running thDemocratic politics of this county : tmdertooit, in fact, before he had a residence here oany known politics:

It is sincerely to be hoped that the rumoof an impending change in the propriotorshlof the Auu Arbor AEOUS has no foundationThe Democracy of Washtenaw County cannoafford to have any change, and they ought no;o permit it. Mr. E. ii. Pond has been tomany years oue of the most clear-headed, consisteut and unwavering advocates in Michiganof sound Democratic principles, aud nothiujut ill-health or old age —which is a goocmany years off in his caao — should be acceptecas an excuse tor his retiring from the goocwork in which he is eugaged. We have nothng to aay in disparagement of any enterprisug individual who is desirous of entering up

on a similar work, but the good people oWashteuaw will subject themselves to sevorcriticism if they permit the impression to g<ibroad that they are incapable of appreciatinghe sterling worth of a man like E. B. Pondand of such a paper as he has .made thiAEOUS."

The following item from the Lansing Republican of July 2 is pertinent to the issue, and iommeuded to our readers us the view of a

disinterested outsider who has had special opjortuuity for weighing the " Colouel":

" NOTORIETY VI, REALITY."—Under thi.sailing the Arm Arbor AKOUS of June 2lublished as a communication a caustic sketchif a prominent politician in that city. Noman was mentioned, but Senator J . L. Bur-eigh put the coat on, and was so angry at thelose lit of the garment that it is reported hevi 11 furthwith start another democratic uews-japer at Aim Arbor. Now Mr. Pond, editoif the Anous, is an able, honest, industrious

man, strong in his convictions, and reasouabl}iitir in his controversies, enjoying the sincererespect ot all meu in the State of all pohticaparties who are personally acquainted withhim. It would seem to be an up-hill job foranother paper to uproot the AEOUS in thatfield. Mr. Pond was formerly useful esState Seuator, which is more than can be saidof the oue who took umbrage at the commu-nication referred to. Mr. Burleigh /tiled aseat iu the State Senate iu 1S77, but did nol" fill the bill " so well as many of his associ-ates aud predecessors ; in fact, he was ratheian obstacle, owing either to ignorance or levi-ty, 1Q the way of good legislation, notwith-standing his genial manners. We advite Sen-ator Burleigh to write a smarter commuuica-tton, or get oue written, thau the AEOUS pub-lished, aud have it appear m the columns otthat paper, if possible, or in the Courier orRegister; then he will be aheud, and it won'tcost him near eo much money or perplexity asto start a paper of his own.

It is uot often that we trouble the publicwith matters oi a personal nature, aud foryears we have sacrificed personal feelings andpersonal interests for the good of the partyand the preservation of harmony, but -theprovocation in this case we are confident war-rants a departure from the rule which has gov-erned our conduct.

" The Odorous Piney Woods."These words caught our eye as we were laz-

ily glancing through the North and West Il-lustrated, and they caused us tolong for a tripto the home of the "pinoy woods." Withoutmuch thought as to where we should stop, wetook our start from the good city of Louis-ville, Ky., and soon found ourselves at Chica-go. Theie w« found but oue route that couldgive us what we were looking for, and foundthat to be the new Chicago, St. Paul <&• Miune-apolis Line, that leads through prairie audmeadow, through hill and valley, anong greatlakes, aud streams, aud finally into the depthsof the piue forests of Wisconsin, and so on toSt. Paul and Minneapolis. Buying our ticketswe started, and left the Canal and Kinziestreets depot of the Chicago & North-WesternRailway, and passed through many pleasautvillages, such as Irving Park, Desplaiues, Bar-rington, Crystal Lake, and Woodstock, andreached Harvard, thence to Beloit, Hanover,aud Madison, where we are 140 miles fromChicago, and at the capital of Wisconsin, acity ot over fifteen thousand people.

The city is pleasantly situated ou an isth-mus about three-fourths of a mile wide, be-tweeu Lakes Meudota aud Mouona, in thecenter of a broad valley, surrounded by heightsfrom which it can be seeu at a distance ofseveral miles. Lake Mendota lies northwestof the town, is six miles long and four mileswide, with clean, gravelly shores, and a depthsufficient for the uavigation of steamboats.Lake Monoua is somewhat smaller.

At 176 miles from Chicago, aud 30 milesfrom Madison, we reached the celebratedDevil's .Lake. This is a beautiful body olwater, surrounded by precipitous mountainson every side, except at two points, one beingat the southern end, where the railroad eutersthe lake basin, ami the other at the northernend, where the railroad finds exit from thebasin of the lake. On every side of the lakeyou see "rock piled on rock" in every conceiv-able form, and iu immense columns, pillars,piles aud masses of very great magnitude andheight. The railroad runs along the shore ofthe lake on a bed that was literally blastedout of the sides of the mountain. From thecar windows all the beauties of this wonderfuland weirdly mysterious region can readily beseen. This was the home of Minnawaukene, abeautiful but unfortunate Indian maigUn, andmany legends are related of her by the simplehearted and kindly people of the vicinity.This lake is a favorite summer resort, and toit the people for many miles arouud come forpicnicing, Bailing, boating, fishing and othersports.

At Baraboo you reach the Baraboo river,and from theuce pass along its valley for manymiles.

At Elroy you are 212 miles from Chicago,and at the southern terminus of the WestWisconsin Railway. From Elroy you hastenuorthward on the uew and admirable track ofthe West Wisconsin road, and soon reach thegreat pine woods, which have rendered Wis-consin celebrated tho world over. Into theheart ot the pine lumber region you speed,passing through Black River Falls, Humbird,Augusta, Eau Claire, Menomoneo and othernoted lumber towns, and finally cross theRiver St. Croix at Hudson. This river is thedividing lino between Wisconsin and Minne-sota. A few miles beyond, you reach a branchto Stillwater, a nourishing town on the St.Croix river. A filteen mile ride brings you toSt. Paul, and hare you rest, or push on elevenmiles further, to the active, bustling cities ofMinneapolis aud St. Anthony.

At St. Paul you can make close connectionsvia the L ike Superior & Mississippi Railroad,for Duluth, Moorhead, Bismark and points onthe line of the great Northern Pacific Rail-road, and also with the St. Paul & PacificRailway, for Breckenridge, Fort Garry, andpoints in Manitoba.

On the line we have hastily sketched, youhave a variety of scenery—the quiet, beauti-ful prairie country of Northeartern Illinois ;the rolling farming country of Southern Wis-consin ; the wildly romantic mouutaiu scen-ery of the Devil's Lake country; the breezy,odorous "piney woods," with their busy mills,active towns and numerous logging camps;and||the charming river country of the St.

Croix valley. A greater diversity of countrycan not be found anywhere in a jouruey of thosame length. You will find comfortable,cleanly and commodious dining stations andhotels along the line, at which ample, time isgiven for all meals.

One management controls the route.and Pull-man Palace Sleepers run through to St. Pauland for Minneapolis. It will be seen that thisline runs nearly due north from Chicago to StPaul, and is but a few miles longer than anair line, and it is the shortest practical routeover which a railroad line can be built betweenthese points. This assures the passenger thequickest time that can be made. No otherroute is now or can be made as direct.

We are now settled down by a quiet brook,where we daily pull from the "vasty deep" thespeckled beauties we have heard so muchabout— The Courier.

A TERRIBLE disaster occurred to a pas-senger train on the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati andSt. Louis railroad, near Mingo Junction, Ohio,a few days 8go. A passenger train, running ata speed of forty miles an hour to make up losttime, collided with a freight train coming in anopposite direction, was thrown down an em-bankment thirty feet high, and completelywrecked. Fifteen persons were killed on thespot, thirty-tbreo badly wounded, severalof them beyond hope of recovery,and fifteen slightly hurt. Most of the victimswore English and German immigrants whowere on their way to the West. The accidenttook place just before daybreak. A dense fogprevailed at the time, which obscured the viewand added to the misery of the situation.

I el low Fever.

Concerning the yellow fever, a NewOrleans correspondent gives the follow-ing as some of its chief characteristics

"About the fourth or fifth daythe eyes turn yellow. The skinalso, assumes a yellowness like that of abruise, or a bright jaundice yellow.However, the patient does not turn yel-low in more than one case in sir. As tothe causes of the scourge, the old atmos-pheric theory has gone by the board,and the best writers seem to have settleddown to the belief that the poison is olanimalcular origin—these animalculesgenerating and spreading over surfaceslike grasshoppers or caterpillars, ancbeing introduced into the human blood.If (hey exist, the most powerful micro-scope has hitherto been unable to dis-cover them. One fact that seems topoint to their existence is that the same

I extremes of heat and cold that kill otherinsects also kills yellow fever, whosecontagion cannot exist and becomes in-noeuons at 32 degrees and 212 degrees.Yellow fever is always killed out after agood freeze. Yellow fever never sproadsabove 600 feet above the sea level. Ac-climatization does not prevent, and nopeison has a second attack. The periodof incubation is generally four to ninedays, though persons have been knownto carry it in their systems twenty-threedays and then take it. Without treat-ment, seventy-five out of every hundredwill die. With treatment and goodnursing, however, abont one in three isthe average mortality. In the greatepidemic of 1807, in some Texas towns,one-half died who took the fever. As tothe cure, no remedy has yet been found,and all treatment so far, even by thebest physicians, is as empirical as thecauses of yellow fever are unknown be-yond conjecture."

THE ASSIGNAT.

A. Chapter of French Experiencewith " Absolute Money."

i : \ l i iuts from President A. I>.White's History of the

Matter.

From Prenlil™t A. D, White's "Paper Money In-flation in France," published by D. Appleton *Co., Now York.]

[CONI-i.riiKi). |On April 11, 1793, a law was passed to meet

;he case of those who bought specie with pa-per. Nothing could bo moro natural than suchmrcbasex. Husbands who wished to makeprovision for thoir wives, fathetd who wishedX> mako provision for their children, desired toaccumulate fomethiug of acknowledged value.and enormous pricos in. paper wore paid forgold. The new law forbado the sale or ex-change of epecio for more than its nominalvalue iu paper, with a penalty of six years' iui'prisonment in irons. It will doubtlesa astonishmany to learn (hat, in spito of these evidentresults of too much currency, the old cry of a"scarcity of circulating medium"' was notstilled ; it appeared not loDg after each issue,no matter how large, and reappeared now.

But every thonghtful student of financialhistory knows that this cry always comes aftersuch issues—nay, that it must come—becausein obedience to a natural law thcro is ascarcity, or rather insufficiency, of currencyjust as soon as prices become adjusted to thenew volume, and there comes some little re-vival of business with the nsual increase ofcredit. The cry of " insunicicnt amount ofcirculating medium" was again rained. Thoneeds of the Government were pressing, and,within a month after the passage of the fearfulpenal laws, made necessary by the old issues,twelve hundred millions more wero sent forth.

About ten days after this, a law was pas tedwaking a forced loan of 1,000,000,000 from therich. In August, 1793, appears a report byCanibon. No one can read it without beingbtruck by its perverted ability. But whileC.imbon's plan of dealing with the public debthas outlasted all revolutions since, his plan ofdealing with the inflated currency came tospeedy and wretched failure. Very carefullyhe had devised a funding scheme, which, takenin connection with tbe systom of issues, was,in effect, what in these "days would be calledan " interconvertibility scheme." By variousdegrees of persuasion or force, holders of as-sigoats were urged to convert them into evi-dences of national debt bearing interest at 5per cent., with tho understanding that if morepaper were afterward needed, more would beissued. All in vain. The official tables of de-

?reciation show that the assignats continued toall; poon a forced loan calling in a billion of

these checked this fall, but for a moment.The "iuterconvertibility scheme," betweencurrency and bonds, failed as dismally as the" interconvertibility soheme" between curren-cy and land, had failed.

' Soon after came a law confiscating the prop-erty of all Frenchmen who left France beforeJuly 14, 1789, and who had not returned. Thugave new land to be mortgaged for the securi-ty of paper money." Month after month, year after year, this

went on. Meanwhile everything possible wasdone to keep up the value of paper. In obe-dience to those who believed, with tbe marketwomen of Paris, aa stated in their famous peti-tion, that 'Maws should bo passed making pa-per as good as gold," Couthon, on Aug. 1,1793,proposed and earned a law punishing any per-son who should sell assigriats at less than theirnominal value with imprisonment for twentyyears in chains. Two years later Couthoncarried a law making investments in foreigncountries, by Frenchmen, puuishable withdeath; and, to make this series of measurescomplete, to keep up paper at all hazards, onAug. 15, 1793, the national debt was virtuallyrepudiated.

15ut, to the surprise of tho great majorityof the people in France, after the momentaryspasm of fear had passed, the valuo ofthe asf-ignats was found not to have been in-creased by these measures; on the contrary,they pemated in obeying the natural laws offiaa'uee, and, as new issues increased, theirvalues decreased in a constant ratio. Nordid the most lavish aid of nature avail tohelp matters. The paper money of thenation seemed to possess a magic power totransmute prosperity into adversity. Tbeyear 17U4 was exceptionally fruitful: cropswere abundant; and yet with the autumncame scarcity of provisions, and with thewinter came famine. The reason is perfectlysimple. The sequences in that wholo historyare "absolutely logical. First, tho Legislaturehad inflated" the currency and raised pricesenormously. Next, it had beea forced lo es-tablish an arbitrary maximum price forproduce. But this price, large as it seemed,was not eijunl to the real value of produce ;many of the farmers, therefore, raised lesspro-lueo, or refrained from bringing what theyhad to market. But, as is usual in suchcases, the trouble was ascribed to everythingrather than the real cause, and the moBt severemeasures were established in all parts of thocountry to force farmers to bring produce tomarket, the millers to grind it, and the shop-keepers to sell it. The issues of paper moneycontinued. Toward the ond of 1791, 7,000,000,-000 assignats were in circulation. By the endof May, 179r>, the circulation was increased to10,000".000,000 ; at the end of June, to 14,000,-000,000 ; at the end of July, to 16,000,000,000 :and the value of 100 francs in paper fell steadly,first to four francs in gold, then to three, thento two and a half. But, curiously enough,when tnis depreciation was rapidlygoing on, asat various other periods when depreciation wasrapid, there came an apparent revival ofbusiness. The hopes of many were revived bythe fact that, in spite of the decline of paper,there was an exceedingly brisk trade In allkird.s of permanent property. Whatever ar-ticles of permanent value certain people werewilling to sell, certain other people were willingto buy, and pay largely for in assignats. Atthis, hope revived for "a time in certain quar-ters. But ere long it was discovered that thiswas one of the most terrible results of a naturallaw which is sure to come into play under suchcircumstances. It was Bimply a feverish activ-ity caused by the intense desire of a iargenumber of the moro shrewd class to converttheir paper money into anything and every-thing which they could hold and hoard untilthe collapse which they foresaw should takeplace. This very activity in business wassimply legal robbery of the more enthusiasticand trusting by the more cold-hearted andkeen. It was the 4i unloading " of the asignatsby the cunning upon the mass of tho people.

But even this could not Rtop the madness ofinflation. New issues continued, until at thebeginning of 1796 over 45.000,000,000 francshad been issued, of which over 36,000,000,1)00were in actual circulation.

It is very interesting to note, in the midst ofall this, the steady action of another simplelaw in finance. Tho Government, with itsprisons and its guillotines, with its laws in-flicting twenty years' imprisonment in chainsupon Ihe buyers of gold, and death upon in-vestors in foreign securities, was utterly powtr-less against this law. Tho Unas a'or stood inthe market as a monitor, noting eacb day,with uuerring fidelity, the decline in value ofthe assiguat; a monitor not to be bribed, notto be scared. As well might the National Con-vention try to bribe, or scare away, tho polai ityof tho mariner's compass. On Aug. 1, 1795,the gold lords of 25 francs was worth 920francs; Sept. 1, 1,200 francs: Nov. 1, 2 600francs; Dec. 1, 3,050 francs. In February,1790, it was worth in market 7,200 francs, orone franc in gold was worth 288 francs in papermoney. Prices of all commodities went up inproportion

Tne writings of the period give curious detailsof these prices;. Thibaudeau, In his " Memoirs",speaks of sugar as 500 francs a pound, sjap230 francs, candles 140 franc*1. Mercier, in hislife-like pictures of the French metropolis atthat period, mentions 600 francs as carriagehire for a single drive, and 6,000 franca for anentire day. Everything was inflated in aboutthe same proportion, except the wages of la-bor : as manufactories closed, wages had fallen,until all that kept them up at all was the factthat so many laborers wore drafted into thearmy. From this state of things came griove-ona wrong and gross fraud. Men who hud for-seen these results fully, and had gone intodebt, were, of course, jubilant. He who in1790 had borrowed 10,000 francs could pay hisdebts in 1796 for about 35 francs. Laws weremade to moel these abuses. Ae far back us1794 a plan was devised for publishing clli-oia.1 "tables of depreciation" to be usod nmaking equitable settlements of debts, butall such machinery proved futile. On t'jo18th of May, 1796, ft young man complainedto tho National Convention ttint his elderbrother, who had been acting as administratorof his deceased father's estate, had paid theheirs in assignats, and that he received scarce-ly 1-OOOth part of the real value of his sharo.To meet cases liko this, a law was passed es-tablishing a '• scale of proportion." Takingas a standard the value of the assignat whenthere were 2,000,000,00(1 in circulation, thislaw declared that, in the payment of debts,one-quarter should be added to the amountoriginally borrowed for every 500,000.000 ad-ded to the circulation. In obedience to thislaw, a man who borrowed 2,000 francs whenthere were 2,000,000,(100 in circulation wouldhave to pay hi» creditors 2,500 francs when500,000,000 more was added to the currency,and over Hl.OoO franc.i before tho emissions ofpaper reRched their linal amouiit. Thisbrought new tails, worse, if possible, than theold.

But, widespread as these evils were, theywore small compared with the universal d.s-tress. The question will naturally bo asked,

On whom did this vast depreciation mainly fallat last? When this currency had sunk toabout l-300th part of its nominal value, andafter that to notuing, in whose hands was thebulk of it'/ The answer is simple. I will giveit in the exact words of that thoughtful histo-toriau from whom I havo already quoted:

" Before the ond of the year 1795 tho papermoney was almost exclusively in tho hands ofthe working classes, employes and men ofsmall means, whose property was not largoenough to invest in storos of goods or nationallands. The financiers and men of large means,though they suffered terribly, were shrewdenough to put much of their property into ob*jects of permanent Value. The'working classeshad no such foresight or skill or means. Onthem finally came the great, crushing weightof tho loss. After tho orst collapse came upthe cries of the starving. Koads aud bridgeswere neglected; manufactures were generallygiven Up in titter helplessness. None foltany confidence in the future iu any respect;nono dared to mska an investment for anylength of time, and it was accounted a folly tocurtail tho pleasures of the moment, to accu-mulato or save for an uncertain future."

While this system was thus running on, a newGovernment had been established. In Octo-ber, 1795, came into power the "Directory."It found the country utterly impoverished, andits only resource at first wag to print more pa-per money, and issuo it oven while wet fromthe Dress.

The next attempt of the Directory was tosecure a forced loan of 600,000,000 francs fromthe wealthier classes, but this wns found fruit-less. Next a National Bank was proposed; butcapital was loath to embark iu bankiDg, whilethe howls of the mob against all who had any-thing to do with money resounded in the earsof capitalists. At laBt tho Directory bethoughtthemselves of another expedient. It was by nomaans new. It was fully tried on our owncontinent twice before that time, and oncesinoe— first in our colonial period; next, dur-ing onr Confederation ; last, by the recent"Southern Confederacy"—aud here, as else-where, always in vain. But experience yieldedto theory, plain business sense to financialmetaphysics. It was determined to issue a newpaper, which should be " fully secured" and"as good as old."

On Feb. 19, 1796, the copper plates of theassignats were broken up, and it was decreedthat no more assignats be issued ; instead ofthem, it was decreed that a new paper money," fully tecuredand as goodasgold," be issued,under the uamo of " mandats." In order thatthes9 notes should bo " fully secured," choicepublic real estate was set apart to an amountfully equal to the nominal value of the issue,and" anyone possessing any quantity of themandats cuild at onco tako possession of Gov-ernment lands to their full face valuo; thoprice of the lands to be determined accordingto their actual rent, and without the formal-ities and delays previously established in re-gard to the purchase of lands with assignats.In order to make tho mandats "as good asgold," it was planned by forced loans andother means to reduce the quantity of as-sigiiats in circulation so that the valno ofeach ai-sigmt should be. raisod to the one-thir-tieth of the value of gold, then to make man-date legal tender, and to substitute them foraseignnts at the rate of one for thirty. Neverwore great expectations more cruelly disap-pointed. Even before they could be issuedfrom the press, the mandats fell to 30 per cent.

'- of their nominal value; from this they speedilyfell to 15 per cent., and soou after to 5 percent. This plan failed—just as it failed in NewEngland in 1737; just aa it failed under ourown Confederation in 1781; just as it failedunder the "Southern Confederacy" within thepast few years. * * * *

No enactments could stop the downward tend-ency of this new paper, "fully secured," "asgood as gold;" the laws that finally governfinance are not made iu conventions or con-gresses.

On July 16, 1796, the great blow was struck.It was decreed that all paper, mandats andassignats, should be taken at its real value,and that bargains might bo made in whatevercurrency the people chose. The real value ofthe mandats at this time was about 5 per cent,of their nominal value.

The reign of paper money in France wasover. The 2,500,000,000 mandats went intothe common neap of refuse with the previous36,000,000,000 ass;gnats. The whole vast issuewas repudiated. The collapse had come atlast; the whole nation was plunged into finan-cial distress and debauchery from one end tothe other. When all was over with papermoney, specie began to reappear—at first insufficient sums to do tho small amount of busi-ness which remained after the collapse. Then,as the business demand increased, theamount of spocie flowed iu from the world atlarge to meet it, and the nation gradually r6-covored from her long paper-money debauch.

Thibaudeau, a very thoughtful observer, tellsI us in his " Memoirs " that great fears were

felt as to a want of c'rculating medium be-tween tho time when paper should go out andcoin should come in; but no such want waswas ever felt—that coin came in as if by magic—that the nation rapidly recovered fromits paper-money debauch, and, within a year,business entered a new current of prosperity.

Nothing could better exemplify the saying ofone of the most shrewd of modern statesmen,that "there will always be money."

Such, briefly skotched in its leading features,is the history of the most skillful, vigorous,and persistent attempt ever made to substitutefor natural laws in finance the ability of a leg-islative body, and to substitute for a standardof value, recognized throughout the world, anational standard devised by theorists andmanipulated by schemers. Every other at-

I tempt of tho same kind in human History, un-1 der whatever circumstances, has reached

similar results in kind if not in degree ; all ofthem show the existence in the world of finan-cial laws as sure In their operation as thoselaws which hold the planets in theircourses. * *

My subject has been "Paper Money lulla-tion" in France; How it Came; What itBrought, and How it Ended."

It came, as you saw, by seeking a remedy,for a comparatively small evil, in an evil in-finitely more dangerous. To cure a diseasetemporary in its character a corrosive poisonwas administered which ate out the vitals ofFrench prosperity.

It progressed according to a law in socialphysics which we may call the lam of accelerat-ing issue awl depreciation. It was compara-tively easy to refrain from the first issue ; itwas 'exceedingly difficult to refrain from tliesecond; to refrain from the third and thosefollow ing was impossible

It brought, as you have seen, to commerceand manufactures, the mercantile intorost, theagricultural iuterest, utterruin. It brought onthese the same destruction which would cometo a Hollander opening the dikes of the sea toirrigate his land in a dry summer.

It ended in the complete financial, moral andpolitical prostration of France—a prostrationfrom which a great absolute monarch alonewas able to draw it.

But this history would be incomplete with-out a brief sequel" showing how that monarchprofited by this frightful experience. WhenBonaparte took the Consulship the conditionof fiscal affairs was appalling. The Govern-ment was bankrupt; an immense debt wasunpaid. Tho further collection of taxesseemed impossible; the assessments were inhopeless confusion. War was going on inthe East, on the Khino, and in Italy, andcivil war in La Vendee. AU the armies hadbeen long unpaid, and the largest loan thatcould for a moment be effected was for asum hardly meeting the expenses of theGovernment for a singlo day. At the firstCabinet council Bonaparte was asked whathe intended to do. He replied, " I wi 1 paycash or pay nothing." From this time he coaducted all his operations on this basis. He ar-ranged the assessments, funded the debt, andmade every payment iu cas'h, and from thistime—during all the campaigns of Marengo,Austerlitz, Jena, Eylau, i'riedland, down tothe peace of Tilsit in 1807—there was but onesuspension of specie payment, and this onlyfor a few days. When the first great Euro-pean coalition was formed against the empireNapoleon was hard pressed financially, and itwas proposed to resort to papor money: but hewrote to his Minister, " While I live I will neverresort to irredeemable paper." He never did,and France, under this determination, com-manded all the gold she needed. WhenWaterloo came, with the invasion of the allies,with war on her own soil, witti a chaneo ofdynasty, and heavy expenses for war and in-

j deranities, France, on a ppe-cio basis, experi-enced no severo financial distress.

If we glance at the financial history ofFrame during the recent Franc j-Prussiau warand the Communist struggle, in which a farmore terrible pressure was brought uponFrench finance than our own recent civil warput upon American finance, and yet with nonational stagnation or distress, but with asteady progress iu prosperity, wo shall teestill moro clearly tho advantage of meeting afinancial crisis in ar. honest and manly way,aud by methods sanctioned by tho worlo'smost costly experience, rather than by yield-ing to tbe schemes of speculators, or to thedreams of theorists involved in financial rnetn- \physics.

A Secret Chapter of I'olitlcul History—Let-ter from Manton Marble—Mr. TllHen'8Relations to tho IClnctoral Count of I Kit;facts that Have an Interest for thePeopleIn the recent correspondence between

Henry Watterson and Abram S. Hewittthe former called upon Mr. MantonMarble, as the only personal witness ofsome of the facts in the history of thoElectoral bill and of Mr. Tilden's rela-tion thereto, to publish these facts andput on record the whole of this impor-tant chapter in our political annals. Mr.Marble, in response, publishes in theNew York Sun a paper setting forththese facts. He says that nothing Mr.Tililen did caused, and nothing wasomitted by him to avert, the success ofthe plot which effected a revolution inthe Presidential succession. Mr. Mar-ble recites that after the election of1876 had shown that Mr. Tilden wasfairly elected to tho Presidency, ZachChandler instantly set in motion theplot which deprived him of it. The Re-publican Returning Boards of the threeStates were telegraphed to that all de-pended on them. Troops were seiit tothe three capitals, and the "visitingstatesmen" were summoned. In two"interviews," adroitly timed, PresidentGrant gave out that the Presidencywould be turned over to Vice PresidentFerry in the event of a failure of aco«nt, citing a statute which palpablyrefers to no such event as the expiry ofhis own term, and carefully neglectingto cite the constitution, where it pro-vides that the House and Senate shallrepair a default of election by the col-lege. Now Ferry (writes Mr. Marble)was neither one of the two, nor one of thethree highest candidates voted for, buthe, too, put it about among the reportersthat if "the two houses failed to agree " hewould shirk " n o responsibility." Bur-lesquing Lady Godiva in her long hair,when "clothed upon with chastity," hewas ready to ride down Pennsylvaniaavenue in nothing but his beard andstolen magistracy.

When this flagitious complot was fla-grant in all its psrts, find while as yetno Republican nierorch, from Prof.Woolsey to Mrs. Jenks, had challengedthe conspirators with a

Stand thou on that side, for on this am I;it is no secret that Mr. Tilden, compre-hending its scope, its dangers, and hisown responsibility as well, in the pri-macy of leadership to which he hadbeen newly chosen by his party andelected by his countrymen, matured anddetermined upon a plan to encounterand defeat the cabal, and to maintain atonse the Presidential succession and thepublic peace.

Forasmuch as the plot to filch thePresidency and the Government fromthe elect of the people, besides its twoqualities of fraud and force, had twoperiods and parts, it is timely hero toobserve just where Mr. TildGn abstainedfrom encountering it, and just at whatperiod and part he planned to destroyit. All of the "visiting statesmen"summoned by Grant were, by a singularcoincidence, Republicans and specialfriends and private agents of Mr. Hayes.It is now proven and notorious that theyit was who worked out the primary partand fraudulent ground-work of the con-spiracy, directing if not devising theperjuries, forgeries and paper fabrica-tions of the local and county officials, orpretending their regularity and legalitybefore the State canvassers. To hearNoyes defend the Alachua frauds andforgeries before the Florida board withgushing eloquence and the fabricatedtestimony of 228 affiants, all by au ex-traordinary coincidence writing one andthe same hand, would have given thatcanting hypocrite, Pecksniff himself, amoral vomit. Theae agents from Ohiowere also the systematic suborners ofthe inferior officials, oE their accomplicesand their false witnesses, in multifariouscrimes. They promised the officialtrusts of the Government as bribes forthe commission of high criminal offen-ses. In so many instances as to be pastcounting, their promises have beenadopted and performed by Mr. Hayes.The local election officers, etc., nowhold minor civil trusts under the Gov-ernment, by Hayes' recommendation,but the real principals in the crimewere rewarded by the gift of the highesttrusts in the administrative and diplo-matic service.

It is anybody's secret that tne certifi-cates of these three State CanvassingBoards were for sale. Already it isproved that two were actually pur-chased. Probably it will yet appearthat the third was likewise obtained.They were bought by promise o: office,or by money, or by both. MoLin, anague-stricken pariah of Florida, did notscruple, if his own mendacity be trust-ed, to put a pecuniary value upon hisofficial duty to certify the official count-ing returns. Maddox, the agent of Madi-son Wells, went to Washington, statedto Grant and Cameron tbe price of hischief, and threatened to sell out to theother side. He sent his agent, Pickett,to New York to make offer at a reducedprice to the Chairman of the DemocraticNational Committee, who, scouting it,said that it was the third sush offer tohim of the certificates of the LouisianaReturning Board. I t is certain thatsuch offers to Democrats were not mereBDares. The intimacies and confidencesof these corrupt men for an easy salewere all, of oourse, among their fellow-partisaus on the Republican side. But,while they could enhance their ownvaluo by the threat as well as by the re-ality of offering their wares to the Dem-ocratic side, yet offises wero then butpromises only. Cash down was theirbird in haul,worth any two in the bosh.

Any one of the venal crew acting sep-arately could himself alone deliver whathe de3med a conclusive title to thePresidency.

But it was not there and thus thatMr. Tilden ought to compass the defeaof the Republican conspiracy. What-ever the wisb, or the less absolute integ-rity, or the more customary morals, ofany devoted adherent, no such transac-tion would he consent to, nor connive at,nor permit.

A few thousand dollars—a market forthe wares of just one Madison Wells,j ust one McLiu, only one —paid for do-ing the bounden duty and mere justie<\hehad sworn to do, aud tho whole af.ro-lions conspiracy would have been burst-ed like a puff-ball and b'own away indust.

But I apologize for the suggestion.First, I apolog'Zi to Gov. Tilden for

confronting his character with the mor-ally impos.sible.

Next I apologize to all his Repub-lican calumniators for confronting theirch nrnoters with the morally incredible.

But it was necessary to mention justwhere Mr. Tilden did not attack the Re-publican conspiracy.

" Mr. Tilden," says the writer, " lookimmediate pains to advise his friendsforemost in the House of Representa-tives that tho final succss of the lowplot was impossible if that House wouldstand firmly aud immovably on the un-broken series of precedents formed bythe twenty-two Presidential counts from1793 to 1H72. He demanded that theyexpose and combat in full debate thethreatened usurpation by tho Presidentof the Senate of the right to count thevotes and to select the votes to becounted. Upon this issue Mr. TiUlencounseled many of his friends in theleadership of tho Ii'ouso not only tostand, but to force the debate first in theHouse, then in the Senate. He accept-ed all responsibility for the outcome.He assured them that were their temperstiff and resolute, the conspiracy wouldbreak down in process of execution." Af-ter dwelling at length on the earnestness

with which Mr. Tilden tried to push thefight on this plan, Mr. Marble givesa history of the electoral scheme andproceeds: " He would not be drawn in-to the slightest expression of personalfunction to the electoral scheme, whichwas adopted on the 17th of Januarywith unanimity by the Democratic mem-bers of the committees of both houses.Mr. Tilden, in his interview with Mr.Hewitt, on. the 14th, did not withholdthe grounds of his objection to the bill.Expressing some surprise at the factthat the Democratic Senators had al-ready determined upon their course,whatever his advice or wishes might be,and some surprise at the secrecy whichhad shrouded the gestation of their pro-ject, Mr. Tilden observed that secrecyin respect to any plan implicating therights and interests of so many was amistaken and unfortunate policy. Herecommended the widest publicity, thefullest discuKsion, and the freest consul-tation. Mr. Tilden's criticisms of thedetails of the bill, of which in no shapecould he approve cither the policy ortho substance, exemplify the politicalsagacity of the statesman:

" 'If arbitration in to bo adopted tho tribunalought to by fixed in the bill itself, and not loftto chance or intrigue If an arbitration is tobe adopted, tho duty of the arbitrators to in-vestigate and decide the case on its meritsshould bo made mandatory and not left a ques-tion of construction. With both the vitalpointsleft at loose ends, you cannot succeed.You can exact, first, the selection of good mento compose the tribunal, which is the controlling point; and, oocond, the nature of the func-tion to be pel formed by the tribunal, which isnext in importance. Fix there two points, goodmen, expnelt powers, and you might possiblyget through. Leave them doubtful, and it ishappy-go-lucky, the shako of ft dice box.'

" The scheme which Mr. Hewitt hadbrought contained in its first draft a pro-vision by which six judges were to bedescribed in the act, one of them then tobe eliminated by lot. To this Mr. Til-den's objection was peremptory. Saidhe : ' I may lose the Presidency, but Iwill not raffle for it.' He was pressedto say that if the bill could be modifled so as to fix the five judges bya positive provision he would giveit his approval. He firmly declined.Tho measure itself was not one as towhich Mr. Tilden's action was or couldbs hesitated for a single instant. Hispractical objection deserves as muchweight as any argued objection then orsince, namely, that ' so great a stake asthe government of 45,000,000 of peoplewith au immense civil expenditure, and100,000 officeholders to be disposed ofby a small body sittiDg in the capital,the judge of its own powers, would be-come the sport of intrigue or fraud.'

"The next day, Jan. 15, Mr. Hewitthaving returned to Washington, tele-graphed thence to Mr. Edward Cooper,of New York :

' "To E. C—The Senato committee willprobably reject the five and report the six-judgo plan immediately. The Senators feelcommitted to concur. The House committeewill not concur, and, for the present: willprobably not report.'

"Mr. Tilden's answer was as follows:" ' NEW YOBI, Jan. 15, 1877.

" ' To A. 8. H.:" ' Procrastinate to give a few days for infor-

mation and consultation. The six-judge propo-sition is inadmissible. E. C

"The next day Mr. Hewitt telegraphedagain:

" ' WASHINGTON, Jan. 16." ' To B. C.:

"'Arter protected negotiations the Senatecommitteo has receded from the six-jndgescheme, declined the fire-judgo and offeredthe four senior Associate Justices, who are tochoose the fifth judge, excluding the ChiefJustice. Our Senate friends earnestly favoracceptance, because they do not beliove it pos-sible to pass over . " The Democrats on theHouse committee believe this is the last chanceof agreement. We cannot postpone beyond 11to-morrow, and if we decline the Senate com-mittee will report their original plan, to whichour friends are committed. Telegraph youradvice.'

"Mr. Tilden sent the following an-swer :

" 'NEW YOKK, Jan. 10.: l 'Bo firm and cool. The four-judge plan

will not do. It is, perhaps, worse than the six.Complaints are likely to arise of haste andwant of consultation with members, and em-barrassmeut in the exercise of their judgmentafter the plan is disclosed, by the prematurecommittal of their representatives. Thereshould bo more opportunity for deliberationand consultation. Secrecy is dangerous. It isprobably a mistake in itself, and if it results indisaster", it would iuvolve great blame and in-finite mischief.'

"The night that the foregoing tele-gram to Mr. Hewitt was sent, the under-signed had called upon Mr. Tilden andfound him in his library with severalother gentlemen. The telegraphic cor-respondence given above was read, andthe situation freely canvassed. In theirpresence Mr. Tiiden dictated and sentthe following telegram for transmissionin cipn"er to Washington through theNational Committee rooms, not havingbeen sent to or seen by Mr. Hewitt. Itis not pertinent to any controversy con-cerning him. Indeed, by the time itbad arrived and been deciphered thebusiness was done, but it has value nowa3 a fuller wiitten record of the samepoints covered more bristly in the tele-grams to Mr. Hewitt:

•"NEW YOKK, Jan. 10." 'No need of hot haste. But much danger

in it. Some days' intervals should be taken.The risk of publicity is harmless. There is noinformation which could justify abstinencerom condemning tuch an abandonment of the

constitution and practice of the Governmentand of the rights of the two houses and of thepeople. Nothing but great aud certain publicdanger, not to be escaped in any other way,could excuse such a measure. We are over-pressed by exaggerated fears, and forgot thatthe other side will have greater troubles thanwe unless relieved by some agreement. Theyhavo no way out but by usurpation. They arebullying us with what they dare not do, or willbreak down in attempting. So long as westand ou the constitution and settled practicewe know where are. The consequence of thonew expedient has not been enough consid-ered. The only way of getting accessions intho Henate is by the House standing firm, andjudicious friends believe that in that caso wewill go safely through. Opportunity to con-sult such friends should be given before eventacit acquiescence by the House committee, ifthat is contemplated. Though details may bsproperly discussed, the final committal by theHouse committee should bu firmly withheld.'

" His magnanimous silence, the fore-going telegrams, and the preceding in-terview have now disclosed all that hasnot hitherto been of public record in re-spect to Mr. Tilden's judgment, actionand advica on the Republican con-spiracy. He has since maintained anabsolute reserve on the subject, evenwhen reproached for a responsibilitywhich he did not share. His only utter-ances have been the expression of a deepsolicitude as to how the imperiled rightsof the people may be vindicated againsta precedent fatal if condoned. Whileno well-informed and competent criticof that compromise can ever ijuestionthe high and patriotic purpose of thepure, the able, the admired Democratswho were its parents or sponsors, yet itis submitted that thpse proof.4 of thecontemporaneous judgment, attitudeand advice thereon of the elected Demo-cratic leader could not iu the presentcurrency of a false belief and of partisanmisrepresentations be withhold from theDemocratic party."

What Slie Told the Pliynlciun WJn DressedHer Wounds— Negroes the Crlminata.

I From the Louisville Courier-Journal. JISLAND DKUIBSP, OUJOOITA PAIIIHU, LA.,1

July 24. iAs Eliza Pinkrton has been again brought

before the public, and as there is this timesomo truth iu her statomont, I deem it a littime for mo to state a few facts never be-fore made public.

Early the morning after her husband was killedaud she wounded, I was sent for to see her inhaste. Arriving at the place, I found her in anegro quarter, lying on a pallet, much excitedand alarmed. Before examining and dressingher wounds, she told me Henry Pinkston hadboon killed, and that she was badly wounded,and believed that she was going to die. I saidto her that 1 wanted her, before 1 did any-thing for her, to tell all about it, and tell methe truth, aud who they were that did it. Slittold me (-he wonld tell me tho honest truth; asshe did not expect to live, she would tell methe " solid truth."

She said: '•Fifteen or twenty necrocs camoto our house some time before day this morning

and killed Henry and wounded me, as you nowgee." She said she wae positive that it wasnone but negroes that did it all. When shesaid this a negro woman in tho quarter said toher that she wished they would come back thatnight and finish her, and that ehe herself hada good mind to take up something and kill heras fchetlay there. Eliza »«ld to me, "Seethere ; they want to kill me bec-ame I will tellthe truth and say it was negroes that killed fHenry."

X examined and dressed her wounds, findingbut one wound on her pprscn that was, ormight become, ueriottH, Bhe remained iu theneighborhood several days, walking about fromplace to place until she was carried to New Or-leans. I state in all candor, as a physician andmirgeoD, that there was nothing in her casethat would necessarily prevent her from goingwhore she wished, or that would confine her toa room. I make this statement in as brief andsimple a manner as possible, saying nothingabout liow she was wounded, as this is not theproper place to do It. I am a physician ofnearly thirty years active practice, and amwell known is a large portion of this Htate.Can give the best of references in this State asto my integrity. I refer t) the Hon.

The Danger of Boxingr the Ear.

Scarcely a day passes, we believe,without some schoolmaster for school-fellow, in natural imitation of his mas-ter) giving a lad a smart " b o x " uponthe ear. Few persons would be boldenough to choose the eye as a part uponwhich it was expedient to inflict a violentblow by way of moral educatien; butthere is. apparently, no end to the num-bers who select an organ upon whichviolence is liable to be attended withmuch more dangerous results. For notonly is deafness caused by "boxes,"which rupture (as they continually do)the drum of the ear, but the inflamma-tion of the internal cavity, which is sofrequent a result, may be followed yearsafterward, perhaps, by disease of thebone, giving rise to abscess of the brain,and having a fatal termination.

Medical men alone can be fully awarehow fruitful a source of suffering anddanger is represented by the box uponthe ear. We are informed, for example,of two cases under observation at thepresent moment, in which schoolboyshave been the victims of such an assault.Surely schoolmasters ought to havelearned, long ere this, the danger of amode of personal chastisement that hasapparently usurped the place of others,which, if more disgusting, were not at-tended with an equal amount of peril.—London Lancet.

" Half That."When young Hodg# first came up to

town, his father told him it \iould bepolite, when being helped at dinner, tosay to the host, "Half that, if youplease." It so happened that at the firstdinner to which he was invited a suck-ing-pig was one of the dishes. Thehost, pointing with his knife to theyoung porker, asked, " Well, Mr.Hodge, will you have this, our favoritedish, or haunch of mutton ?" Uponwhich, recollecting his lesson, he re-plied, "Half that, if you please," tothe consternation of all present.

A GRIZZLY bear in a Paris menagerielately got out of a cage and broke intothat of a panther. A terrible fight en-sued, in which the panther was killed.
