New YoRK, May %, 1913.
There has been no period for many Yeas

reflective portion of the citizens of the United
States, rs does the present moment, for cain
and judcous examination into the peculiar sit
ua,ion in which we now stand as regards the
bcs' mode Of pro6ting by our late wofu expe-
rience in our MONETARY aud business aflirs. An
attentive observer Of passing events for the last
thirty years, during which we have had many
revulsions, | have never seen such an o?por,u-
nifty TO appropriate to advantage the lessons OF
wisdom, which a careful examination into the
real condition Of the country would teach US.
Nothing appears to me more obvious than
that we should weigh well the new relations in
which we are now placed towards the various
countries with which we are commercially con
necIed and tba, 10 do his as we ought to do il,
we should for the present avoid all new lepis

the changes which lave undoubtedly taken
place in our affairs, arising out of the explosion
of the paper bubble which has so much reduced
the amount Of money in circulation.

process through which we have arrived at a
comparatively sound currency, u has been the
only medicine which would have reached the
disease, and although TO continue the 61urv)

purified The system, so that we shall have a
much more healthy state OF trade and industry,

new and upried paths.

interests are of such immense importance az to
justify every exrrton that can be made in any
reciprocal COMMERCIAL treaties into which we
may enter with foreign countries and no doubt
care will be taken TO place them upon TO Ing

Information has been received from the Con-

of $50 feet above the mean level of the sea, and
will present bright flashes, at intervals OF two
minutes, between which the constant light will
gradually decrease TO a minimum, and then in

clear weather from the Bocche di Capri, from

DAGUERREOTYPE LIKENEssEs.

Mr.. p. HAAS, at the eastern end Of Pennsyl
vania avenue, is taking, and has taken, many
excellent DagueHeotype licensees. Mr. II.
also possesses the art Of coloring his ikenesses,
which, we believe, is new addition TO the pro-
cess. The faithful and perfect (not counterfeit)
presentment of official digniiares, Senators
NJ. C.'s, &C., which Mr. II. exhibits at his estab-
lishment, will convince the most sceplica of his
ability to make genuine copy of the most beau
tiful as well as the most homely features.
The likeness is taken in an almost incredibl.
short space of time, and at ve,y moderate
charge.

Messrs. Lippincou & Co., of Philadelphia, are
manufacturing new and novel article in the
standish line. The article before us seems to be
most admirably adapted to the of the merchant,
the editor, and the official dgnitary. 1t is unique in
appearance, ingenious in continuance, and extremely
convenient in use. 1t is covered with brass plate,
from the centre of which, and attached to an India
rubber fastening projects small glass funnel which,
when the pen is placed in it, Immediately fills with
ink, and emp,ies itself the moment the pen is taken
out But if no pen is put in il, you may turn il over,
or hold il upside down, and not drop of ink will
spill out
This contrivance may be had of Mr.. Franck

FOR THE MADIsoNIAN.
ECONOMY AND POPULARITY.


One would suppose that the Administration,
which practices economy and retrenchment,
would insure popularity. Unfortunately it is
quite the reverse for those who want office as.
sail the Administration with every species OF
weapon, if they fail to accomplish their obj CT
and those who are dismissed from Office, when
there are no duties to perform, make greater
clamor than those who are removed for cause,
and are succeeded by others. In the former case,
there is nobody TO be benefited or obliged, bu,
the public generally, who never trouble them
selves about what may be saved, unless the sa-
wings come to their pockets. In the latter case,
the new incumbent and his friends are all obig-
ed, and may very naturally support the Admins
trarion.
However much credit, therefore, may be due
TO an administration for retrenchment aud econ
omy, il must not look for present popularity.
Gire us patronage, (said Mr. Ciay) and IRE
niH make ourselves popular. No one under
stood the arts cfpopu'ar ty better than Mr. Clay /;
but that popularity which feeds upon patronage,
must starve upon retrenchmcnt. 1t is much
wiser and better TO pursue course that will w.
sure the prospect y Of the country, than one that
only aims to win the 1eeting popularity of
party.

A FAILURE.

Our particular fend of the Globe writes a
merry condemnation of the newly invented pa
tent smoke pipe on the U. s. steamer Missouri.
We give his conclusion:
We conclude by wishing health and happiness and
better luck neIt time " to each and every Lring
body 1--WE take special care 10 exclude the smoke \
who was board-ladies, officers, men, citizens
secretaries, Robert Tyler, and editors-and our
neigbbor Jones, who may be class cd among the latter
though he was not there. We would rather suffer
the credit OF either writing reading three Madso-
man articles, than suffer one such another days smok
ing.

Long Bridge, whence we could see the tremen
dous cloud of smoke so ieelingly and eloquent
ly described by our unfortunate friend. Orr
luck was excellent-we filled our basket-and
we are exceedingly glad we were not invited to
that entertainment
Only few days ago a communication was
sent us which spoke with great confidence of the
merits OF the new smoke pipe, and minated
that the Acting Secretary Of The Navy would
put II TO the test. We inserted IL, with extreme
pleasure; and, although we wer. certainly quite
fortunate in not being smoked for il, vet it is
painful TO inform our readers that the experiment,
has no, answered The expectations Of the De
partment.
