Hayes, printer, uses for his apple trees refuse printing ink with perfect suc- cess and if material of like nature could b. made at moderate price, it would ae all that could be desired.

The Value Of Greenbacks.

In referring to our greenback curren-
cy, the best currency in the world, the
North Amsrican Revif,o says: srsiiE Z
They are also issued by sovereign
power, which receives them in pay
ment for debts due to it, and obliges
individuals to receive them in like man
ner. They are issued on the credit of
the Nation and not on that ola pri-
vate corporation. A vast domain, the
richest in the world, in gold and sill
yer, in coal and iron, in cotton and to-
bacco, in wheat and corn, in stone and
timber, in focks and herds, 9se spiSrtgag;
ed to secure them. Thirty millions Of
people, of the most industrious, ener-
getic and enterprising race on the earth,
have indorsed them. If thus support
ed, they are the best currency that ev-
er nation had-better than gold or
silver-such a currency as was never
dreamed of in the philosophy Of the fra
mers of the Constitution.

Tricks OF the Trade.

We imagine the season is rather dull
at Niagara and extraordinary exertiens
have become necessary. The Buffalo
Courier has thrilling narrative, how
q fool named Farini-the rival Of Blon-
din-attempted to ford the rapids above
the American Fall, on iron stills, and
how one silt broke, and how Farini
struggled to a small island, badly iniur-
ed, and how, at last accounts, he was
sitting OH log and no means had been
found to release him, though it was in
contemplation to attempt to float a
rope to him by which, if he is not too
much exhausted by want of food, he
may be pulled ashore. The man is in
his tights, bareheaded and can be dis
tinctly seen every now and then to
press his wounded leg.
That all sounds straight enough, but
the Buffalo Advertiser says the story is
Niagara Falls sensation, gotten up
for the benefit the refreshment booths
near the great cataract. That paper
adds:
We were informed this morning that
the unfortunate and fool-hardy man"
the individual with the esculent cogno-
men is ''stil on the island" Our inior-
mant further went on to state that Fa-
rina left the island last night, took his
ease at his inn, enjoyed refreshing
season of rest and returned early this
morning. 1t is understood that the
parties interested, have contributed lib
orally toward making up apurse where
with to reward the adventurous man.
