inatiou. are stated to be as follows:

deem their circulating notes in the city OF
New York, at a small discount. A uniform

lished throughout the United States for

kept Cd hand is to be reduced from % to Is

WHo is To BLAME.-Thousands of Fede-
raj soldiers are languishing in Southern pri-
sons; dying of disease and hunger. w BIO is
to blame for this? Thousands Of rebels are
dying and freezing to death in Northern
cities, and who is to blame? The rebel
government siguihed its willingness to ex-
change man for man, and do it at once.
But the President selects as commission
err of exchange. man that he knew was
odiouS in the eyes of the rebels; a man he
knew would fail in bringing about an ex-
change. Butler has made himself so un-
popular with the rebels that they refuse to
contaminate, even rebel governments in
contact with him. If our government is
an xious to save many valuable lives, then let
1t appoint an honest man and kick out this
monster. Let the blame be put where it
belongs, aud let the people besiege the
President for a change True

Loss or THE HoUsAToNIo "A JUL re-
port of the loss Of this vessel by the rebel
torpedo boat Davis, off Charleston harbor,
has been received by the Secretary of the
Navy. The report contains no new facts
except such as we have already given
The internal machine which did the work
was of novel and nondescript character
1t was small steam propeller submerged
within few inches of the surface OF the
water. From her bow was projected a long
boom, upon the end of which was placed
in copper vessel several hundred pounds
of powder, when this was brought In con-
tact with the object to be attacked or de-
stroyed; it was fred by fuse from the
steamer. 1t was by this process the Housa-
tonic was destroyed. She was new, sec
ond -class steam sloop-o war, built in New
York little over a year ago. The rebel
steamer, it appears, did not come down from
Charleston by the ship channel. but pursu
ed circuitous route. Her approach to the
Honsatonio was not discovered until she
was within few hundred yards the lat
ter, and then, as the watch on deck describes
it, sit looked like huge porpoise." Wha
became of her after the explosion is moi
known.

Moran, In his most respects excellent
work on money, says: Government paper
money can not. successfully, for any length
of time perform the functions of money,
because it is invariably issued as financial
resource, in moments of emergency, gsner-
ally when war is ruthlessly destroying both
life and property. Government Taper mon
ey instead of representing existing results of
labor, ready to redeem the paper money
on damand of the holders, only represents
property and lives already consumed or de-
S royed, aud labor unproductively employ
ed. How can such paper issues long per-
form the functions of money, when m etallic
money cannot then, unless constaHtly re-
deemed with usual results of labor, and with
useful services.

"But it must not be forgotten that the
State Of Connecticut is free, sovereign and
Independent State; that the United States
are Confederacy of States; that we are
confederate, and not consolidated Repub
lie"
This fearful heresy originated in re-
port of the General Assembly of ConDec-
ticut in 1912. This is the same State that
to-day is denouncing the secession of the
South, and yet it established the foundation
upon which secession is erected; and the
same State which to-day is prosecuting a
vigorous war against slavery in the South,
although slavery cDce existed within it:
own limits, and did not disappear till long
after the birth of the present century -

covering many square miles, filed with its

pen has painted for us the hideous incidents
OF their last sgonies, and the horrors Of an an
internal fire, before which that OF Chlii
burns but pale and feebly. That death was
dealt out by English sailors--purposely, un-
sparingly aud boastfully--not in war, not In
necessity net in preservation, but IN
order to strike terror into harmless people

Gus practice. 1t exposes the brain. II ex-
poses the throat and lungs-the eyes like
wise, say wise Psychologists.
Men become bald? Why? Because
they wear close hats and caps. Women are
never bald except by disease. They do not
wear close hats and caps. Men never lose a
hair below where the hat touches the head,
not if they have been bald twenty years.
The close hat holds the heat and perspira
ton. Thereby the hair-glauds become
weak; the hair falls out. What will restore
it? Nothing after the scalp becom es shiny.
But in the process of falling out, or recently
lost the following is best: wash the head
freely with cold water once or twice day.
Wear thoroughly ventilated hat. This S
the best means TO arrest the loss and restore
what is susceptible of restoration.
What will beautify a woman hair?-
Whatever will invigorate the hairy lands.
Oils and most other applications debilitate
the hair-glands. Cold water is best. At
