Relative Values Of Paper and Gold.

The Chicago Times corrects the errors
that many have fallen into in calculating
the relative values Of paper and gold
The relations of the two are determined,
not by difference, but yratio. 1t is plain
that where gold is worth 200 cents in pa
per, the ratio is as one to two; that is,
two of paper equal one OF gold, and one
of paper equals half in gold, Or fifty
cents. Similarly, if gold touch 400, paper
is worth 25 cents; if it reach 1000, paper
will be worth 10 cents; and if the price of
gold should ever touch 10000, paper
dollar would be worth just cent. In that
case the values would be thus ascertained:
AS 10000 is to 100, so 100 is to 1.
We have hence the rule-One which
every school-boy is familiar with, but which
some financial writer's seem to be blissfully
ignorant Of AS the price of gold in paper
is to one hundred cents, so is one hundred
to the value of one dollar in gold. To
make the thing more plain, we append
table giving the value of the paper dollar
for different prices OF gold, which may
serve for future reference:

The Late Depreciation OF Paper not
~ Real. u % .TrTI- q teia

The able financial writer of the Herald,
speaking of the late rise in gold and the
depreciation in paper, argues that this de-
probation was apparent and not real, from
the fact that of all the thousand articles Of
merchandise and kinds of property which
are interchanged for money, gold was the
only one which rose six per cent. in one
day. The writer continues:
The same, or nearly the same, quantity
of greenbacks which yesterday would have
paid for an acre-of land, house, most
kinds of goods, bonds and dividend pay
ing stocks, barrel of flour, cargo of
wheat, tea, sugar or dry goods, will pay
for them to-day. No one objects to take
greenbacks; on the contrary, every one
complains of their scarcity, and one main
reason why Mr.. Chase cannot negotiate a
loan is because there are not, at the finan-
cial centres, enough greenhacks to pay for
twenty millions of bonds at any price
whatsoever. Had the depreciation Of the
currency, which appears to result from the
advance in gold, been real, as was the case
with the continental money and the French
assignats, everything would have risen in the
ratio of gold, people would have objected
to sell their property for greenbacks, the
banks would have been flooded with them,
and it would have been quite impossible to
buy with greenbacks, at or near par, such
sound lucrative investments as United
States skies, Erie preferred, Michigan Cen
trail, Metropolitan Bank stock, Galena or
Rock Island. The fact is, the advance in
gold is in the main the product of specu-
lation, and the currency depreciation which
appears to result from it is fictitious There
are, at the present time, over one hundred
individuals who traffic daily in gold on the
curbstone in William street and in the old
and the public boards. These individuals
own little or no gold, and use little or none
in their transactions, though they buy and
sell hundreds of thousands of dollars with
each other daily. 1t is easy to see that,
such an arena of speculation once opened,
theE natural tendency of gold to appreciate
in consequence of paper issues, must be
vastly accelerated. These spectators
have among them bid up the price of the
metal to figure which it would not have
reached in two years had the laws oftrade
been unassisted.

SpurgeOn.

The London correspondent of the Chi
cago Jownol, in his February letter, fur
nishes the following:
ABOUT STURGEON.
Mr.. Spurgeon, with whose youthful elo-
quence the whole world was carried away
a few years ago, but who has long since
found his proper level, (and very low one
it is,) since the issuing of President Lin
coins emancipation proclamation, has been
graciously pleased to introduce into his
prayer before sermon passage to this eff
feet:
Oh Lord! we thank Thee that we may be
able to commend to Thee the President of the
United States, and the nation over which he
rules, which Gin parenthesis) we have not been
able to do for the last three months.
This is Spurgeon all over. Take another
specimen of this modern Whitfield, as he
was impiously called. He is reported to
have said to his congregation during re-
cent sermon as follows:
1 do not ask you, How are your poor feet?
but, How is your poor soul 2 and I shall ask
this of you, or any other man
do not know whether or not these two
slang expressions are in vogue with you,
but here they are the vulgar cries of the
lowest riff-ratf of the streets, and yet this
Chsistian preacher has the audacity to in
troduce them in this disgusting way to his
crowded audiences.

LETTERS FOR SOLDIERS.
And follow the soldier to the battlefield
with your spirit. The great army of let
ters that marches southwark with every
morning sun is powerful engine of war.
Fill them with tears and sighs, lament
separation and suffering, dwell on your
loneliness and fears, mourn over the dis
honesty of contractors and the incompe-
tency of leaders, doubt if the South will
ever be conquered. and foresee financial
ruin, and you will damp the powder and
dull the swords that ought to deal death
upon the foe. Write as tenderly as you
will. In camp the toughest man idealizes
his far-of home, and every word of love
uplifts him to lover. But let your ten
derness unfold it's sunny side and keep the
shadows of His pity who knows the end
from the beginning, and whom no fore
bodings can dishearten. Glory in your
tribulation. Show your soldier that his
unfinching courage. his undying fortitude,

to enthusiasm by your inspiration. Make
a mock of your discomfort. Be unweary-
ing in details of the little interests of home.
Fill your letters with kittens and canaries,
with baby's shoes and Johnny's sled, and
the old cloak which you have turned into
a handsome gown. Keep him posted in
all the village gossip, the lectures, the
courtings, the sleigh-rides and the singing
schools. Bring out the good points of the
world in strong relief. Tell every sweet
and brave and pleasant and funny story
you can think of. Show him that you
clearly apprehend that all this warfare
means peace, and that a dastardly peace
would pave the way for speedy, incessant,
and most appalling warfare. Help him
to bear his burdens by showing him how
elastic you are under yours. Hearten
him, enliven him, tone him up to the true
hero-pitch. Hush your plaintive Miserere,
accept the nations pain for penance, and
commission every northern breeze to bear
Te Deum lnudamus.

women and .lic War.

In the March number of the ANuuiic
uagagjae, there is timely " Call to my
Countrywomen, by Gen. HAMILTON, from
which we extract a few paragraphs:
WOMEN AND THE WAR.
In the newspapers and magazines you
shall see many poem5-written by women
who meekly term themselves weak, and
modestly profess to represent only the
weak among their sex-tunetully discuss
ing the duties which the weak owe to
the country in days like these. The in
variable conclusion is, that though they
cannot fight, because they are not men,
or ro down to nurse the sick and wound
ed because they have children to take care
of,-or write effectively, because they do
not know how,-or do any great and he
roic thing, because they have not the
ability,-they can pray; and they, gener-
allv do close with melodious and beau
tifHl prayer. Now praying is a good thing.
II is. in fact the very best thing in the
world to do, and there is no danger OF our
having too much oft; but if women, weak
or strong, consider that praying is all they
can or ought to do for their country, and
so settle down contented with that, they
make as great a mistake as if they did not
pray at all True, women cannot 1lght'
and there is no call for any great number
of female nurses; Notwithstanding this,
believe that to-day the issue of this war
depends quite as much upon American
women as upon American men,-and de-
pends, too, not upon the few who write,
but upon the many who do not. The
women of the revolution were not only
Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Reed, and Mrs. Schuy-
ler, but wives of the farmers and shoema-
kers and blacksmiths everywhere. 1t is
not Mrs Stowe, or Mrs. Howe, or Miss
Stevenson, or Miss Dix, alone, who is to
save the country, but. the thousands upon
thousands who are at this moment darning

Tom Sayers at Home.

AN EXHIBITION IN THE DOMESTIC RING.
From the Manchester Examiner. Feb. {.
At the Clerkenwell Police Court, yester-
ing at No. 10, Bellevue Cottages, Camden
street, Camden Town, described as of no
occupation, was charged with willfully
breaking twenty panes of glass, value los,
the property of Thomas Sayers, ex-champ-
ion of England and circus proprietor. The
charge sheet was not signed with the
name of the complainant, but only with a
cross, and upon Tom being asked if that
was his he answered in the affirmative.
Tom Sayers then said that the defendent
had been away from home for two nights,
and on her return she ill-used him. On
Thursday, at about twelve o'clock, she
went to his house and made a great dis
turbance, and then went out and threw
stones through the windows She broke
twenty windows, and the damages
amounted to about los. He wanted the
defendant to keep away and not annoy or
modest him any more, as he was tired Of
it. She caused a large mob of persons to
assemble around his house and this an
noyed him and his neighbors.
The defendant said she was a married
woman, and when her husband left her,
eight years ago, Tom took his place, and
had cohabited with her ever since. He and
his children came, and she looked after
them. She stated that the complainant ON
Wednesday returned home under the influ-
ence of liquor, broke up her furniture,
threw it into the street, and then kicked
her out. He told her, after she had taken
some of her goods to little room she had
engaged, that if she would come on the
following day she could have the rest, and
when she went quietly for them he refused
to give them to her. He had now got a
watch and chain, some brooches and other
property belonging to her in his possession.
Tom Sayers said there was nothing of
the sort in the house, but if there was any
thing belonging to her there she was at
liberty to have it, and more if she required
it, as he did not wish to have anything
more to do with her.
Mr.. D'Eyncourt ordered her to be bouud
over in the sum of Gl0 to keep the peace
towards Tom Sayer's and all her Maiestys
subjects for six calendar months.
When Tom left the court he was fol-
lowed by a troop of boys.

'The Right to Speak.

It is the ancient and undoubted preroga-
tive Of this people to canvass public meas
ures and the merits of public men. 1t is a
"home bred right" a fireside privilege.
1t hath even been enjoyed in every house,
cottage and cabin in the nation. 1t is rot
to be drawn into controversy. 1t is as
undoubted as the right of breathing the
air or walking on the earth. Belonging
to the private life as right, it belongs to
public life as duty, and it is the last duty
which those whose representative / am,
shall find me to abandon. Aiming at all
times to be courteous and temperate it its
use, except wher. the right itself is ques-
toned, l shall place myself on the extreme
boundary of my right, and bid defiance to
any arm that would move me from my
ground.
The high constitutional privilege l shall
defend and exercise, within this house, and
in all places; in time of peace, and at all
times. Living shall assert it; and should
leave no other Inheritance to my chill
dren, by the blessing Of God will leave
them the inheritance of free principles,
and the example of manly, independent
and constitutional defence of fthem.-Dan-

The New Orleans Picayu'e, of the 18th
inst, gives the following account of an un-
successful attempt to shoot Gen. BANKS:
We regret to learn that an attempt was
made to Shoot Major General Banks as he
was about entering his carriage at the
ladies' entrance of the City Hotel, about a
quarter past seven O'Clock last evening.
The weapon used was an air gun, and the
bullet, after passing near where the Gen
eral stood, was found on the opposite side
walk. The person who made the base
attempt disappeared at once, and at last
accounts the police had not been success
full in tracing out his identity.

THE DOMICILE ERECTED BY
JOHN.

JOHN
The following excellent burlesque, which
was first published some years ago, is not only
an admirable pathological essay, but also fine
sarcastic parody of Popes epigramatical philos-
ophy. Many of our readers may have seen it
before, but it is richly worth republshing once
year.:
Behold the mansion reared by dedal Jack.
See the malt stored in many plcthoric sack,
In the proud cirque of Ivaus bivouac.
Mark how the rats felonious fangs invade
The golden stores in Johns pavilion laid.
Anon with velvet foot and Tarquin strides
Subtle Grimalkin to his quarry glideS-
Grimalkin grim that slew the fierce rodent
Whose tooth insidious Johann's sack-cloth rent.
Le! now the deep-mOuthed canine foes assault,
That veXed the avenger OF the stolen malt,
Stored in the hallOwed precincts of that hall
That rose complete at Jacks creative call.
Here stalks the impetuOus cow with crumpled
horn,
Whereon the exacerbating hound was torn,
Who bayed the feline Staughter-beast, that slew
The rat predaceous, whose keen fangs ran thrO'
The textile tibres that involved the grain,
Which lay in Hans inyiolate domain.
Here walks forlorn the danlscl crowned with
rue,
Lactiferous spoils from vaccine drugs who drew,
OF that corniculate beast whose tOrtuOus horn
Tossed to the clouds in fierce, vindictiye scOrl
The harrying hound, whose braggart bark and
stir
Arched the 1.-THE spine and reared the indig-
nant fur
OF puss, that with vermincidal claw
Struck the weird rat, in whose insatiate nav
Lay reekng malt, that erst in Juan's courts we
saw.
Robed in seneScent garb, that seems in sOOth
Too long pray do ChronOs' iron tooth,
Behold the man, whose amorOus lips incline
Full of young Eros Osculative sign
To the lOrn maiden, whose lact-albic hands.
Drew albu-lactic wreath from lacteal glands
OF that immortal bovine, by whose horn
Distort, to realms ethereal was born
The beast Catulean, yexer of that sly
Ulysses quadrupedal, who made die
The old mordaciOus Rat that dared devour
Ante-cedaneous ale in Johns domestic bower
I.o here. with hirsute hOnOrs dot1cd succinct
Of saponaceous locks, the priest who linked
In Hymens golden bands the torn unthrift,
Whose means eXigous stared from many a rift,
Even as he kissed the virgin all forlorn
Who millled the COW with implicated horn,
Who in fine wrath the canine tOrturer skied,
That dared to veX the insiduOus muricide,
Who let auroral etiluencc through the pelt
OF the sly rat that robbed the palace Jack had
built.
The owed cantankcrouo shanghae comes at last,
Whose shouts arouse the shOrn eeclcsiast,
Who sealed the VOWS OF Hymen's sacrament
To him who rObed in garments INDECENT,
EXosculates the damse lachrymose.
Til emulgator OF that horned brute mOrose,
That tossed the dog, that worried the cat, thai
