SPANISH QUARTERs.---It seems to us
that, here in the West, we shall rather
strain point if we recognise the Govern
ment depreciation of Spanish coin in cir
culation, by which quarters are reduced
to twenty cents in value, and shillings
to ten cents. The actual value of q
Spanish quarter is more than that of an
American one, and there is little enough
specie now in circulation, in all con-
science, without unnecessarily depre-
ciating what we have got. We have
been requested to allude to this matter
by several of our merchants who are
disposed to receive and pay out this
coin at its old value Green Bay Id
UOcGte. ila.
The above we think is sensible, and
the business men Of other places would
do well to follow the example of those
of Green Bay. The bill that proposes
to reduce the value of these Spanish
Going. has not yet passed, and every
time it is brought up, it receives new
amendments, so that there is but little
probability Of its passing in the form in
which it wasfrst introduced. And even
lift should be passed, it will not have
the effect intended, as long as the pro-
scribed coins are intrinsically worth as
much or more than American quarters.

Fot Smelling.


Franklin Steele Esq, the suler for the US

Fort Smelling reservation many years. The
property was sold to him at 81 ,54 per acre or
$9O,0GO for 1890 acres. being by far the best
sale the Government ever made. The property
was sold privately because the offer Of it to the
highest bidder would have resulted in a combi-
nation that would have swept the land out of

and the agent in this case had warning of the
designs Of spectators when he first arrived on
the ground. He therefore got an order from
Secretary Floyd to close with Mr.. Steele at
100000. This is round price, and we will
venture that no such sale is made again In the
memory of any man liring. But the opposition
papers having run out of Kansas ammuni
ton are trying to make Us believe Mr.. Buchan
an has played the villain by allowing this ''swin

How much did Mr.. Rice get for Fort Crawford

HIGH PRICE OF LEATHER--ORpERs
FROM ENGLAND.-One of the largest
leather dealers from Philadelphia al
leges, in published letter, that the high
price of leather is not caused by specu,
lators, and adds:
In confirmation Of this, l need only
state that at the present moment five
thousand hides could not be furnished
by all the commission houses in Phila-
delphia and Baltimore put together, if
81 pound were offered for it. If it
were a speculative movement, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that large shipments
would soon be made from other coun-
tries to meet the demand, but so far is
this from being the case, large orders
are now in New York from England for
leather. 1t is equally certain that there
is no accumulation of stock in the tan
neries, indeed the tanners have been 50
anxious to get their stock into market
early that they would scarcely allow ii
to get dry,
For several years past the leather sold
in New York, Philadelphia and Bali
more has varied very little in quantity
while the population of the country has
been increasing very rapidly, and thu
consumption of leather with it.

The scarcity of hides and leather he
attributes to the constantly disturbed,
revolutionary state of the South Ameri
can Republics, and further adds
/ will here remark that the advance
on hides has been much greater than on
leather, for while the advance on the lat
ter has been one hundred per cent, it
has been three hundred on the former,
from nine cents to thirty seven cents
since l848. In England and on the
continent Of Europe hides are higher
than here, and there are buyers from
England now in New York, shipping
hides to this country, and at New Or
leans there are large orders for heavy
slaughter hides from France.

freaks Of a Lunatic.

named Davis, has for some time mani
tested symptoms of insanity. The Pitts

He imagines himself to be a second
Dan Rice, engaged in getting up a cir
Gus. On the 9Th instant he caught a
snake, which he took to Bells school
house, in the neighborhood, where he
says he had grand performance. Az
ter getting through, he swept the house
and broke all the windows with the
broom-stick. He then proceeded to
the residence of Mr.. w. Curry, a mile
or two from town, in the absence of the
family, and destroyed nearly everything
in the house. He says he went there
"to have some fun" broke gun, with
the barrel of which he smashed the
crockery, glassware and windows; took
to pieces clock and two watches, grind
ing up the works in cider-press.
1t then struck him that the ground
where the house stood would be an ad-
mirable location for circus, whereupon
he built fire on the floor, and it was
soon in flames, from which he narrow
ly escaped by jumping from a window,
cutting his arms and hands in getting
out, and leaving broadcloth coat,
which the heat induced him to throw
off, prey to the flames. Considering
the bees appropriate performers in his
new circus, he upset several hives, and
undertook to put sleigh bells On tie in
sects, in which performance" he was
very badly stung. When the neighbors
came running to the fire, they found
him under a shade tree. congratulating
himself that this was the best perform
ance he had yet had-it brought the
largest audience. The house was en-
tireIy destroyed, and the poor lunatic
secured and taken to Mercer jail.

"Well, how does that suit you, then, "
says the farmer, after re e.arranging the

"That don't suit ME yet" he replied.

it on the limb of tree. "Probably y it
suits YOU now."
