EEAyE now been before the public for nearly a
II year. They are universally pronounced the
neatest and best fitting collars extant.
The upper edge presents perfect curve, free from
the angles noticed in all other collars.
The cravat causes no FUCKERS on the inside of the
turn-down coilar,-they are AS SMOOTH INSIDE
AS OUrSIDE.-and therefore perfectly free and
easy TO the neck
1he Garotte Collar has a smooth and evenly fin
ished edge BOTH SIDES.
These Collars are not simply fiat pieces of paper
cut in the form of 4 collar, but are NODDED AND
SHAPED TO PIT THE NECK.
They made in Novelty Tor turn-down style in
every half size from IL to IL inches, and in Eureta
Tor Garotte,1 from Is TO II inches; and packed in
solid size in neat blue cartons, containing 100
each; also in smaller ones Of 10 each,-the latter
very handy package for Travellers, Army and Navy
Officers.

The True Value OF a Greenback Dollar.

The popular mind is abused, to great ex-
tent, with a false idea of the true value in
gold of Il dollar of our present circulating
medium. Many persons who have noticed
gold "a ,sed at, for instance, 90 per cent. pre-
MUM, were of the opinion, that their dollar
greenback was worth in gold Just as many
cents Tess The dollar. That this notion is erro-
neous is easily proven. A dollar gold piece,
when worth 60 per cent more than a dollar
Treasury note, is evidently worth 16O-100ths
of the latter, which is worth l00-l60lhs Of the
gold dollar, or 81 lie in gold. Consequently
with one dollar in Treasury paper, you can
purchase 62 lie in gold. The proof Of this
is, that G2 l-2c plus 60 per cent. of itself, or
81 lie, Is equal to one dollar. We think this
explanation will considerably enrich, in their
estimation, many persons who think that.
when gold is at GO per cent. premium, their
dollar in Treasury currency is worth only 40c
in the precious metal. The following table,
showing the precise value of paper in gold,
with the latter at various points of pre-
MUM, may be of interest to many:

THE LAMEYTED LovEJoy.-The Chicago
Times, though a bitter Copperhead, and
most INSCRIPTIONS partizan, has the grace to
speak thus reyerently of Owen Lovejoy:
Owen Loyejoy was an honest Abotionist.
He was a member of that party when it was
an object of derision and hatred to more than
nine-tenths of the voters of the United States.
Naturally benevolent and generous, his hatred
of Slavery was quickened by education, and
aroused by resentment in the murder of his
brother, at Alton, in 1887, for proposing to
establish there an Abolition newspaper. His
sympathies with the real and imaginary suf-
ferings of the slaves oyercame all considera-
lions OF danger resulting from the agitation
OF the Slavery question. However much we
may condemn the teachings of the original
Abolitionists, and however justly we may in
fer that the present awful calamities resting
upon the nation are traceable TO them. II is
impossible not TO respect the manly indepen-
dence and flrmness shown by them in their
struggle with an overwhelming public senti-
ment.
The political friends and political oppo-
nents of Mr.. Lovejoy will unite in mourning
for him as an estimabe gentleman in private
life and an honest one in public station. The
bitterness OF pariizanship is rebuked over his
grave, and his political foes have no wish to
retaliate upon his memory the nvective which
he so well knew how to employ against them.
Democrats know how to respect men like him
and Garrison and Phillips, while detesting
their fanaticism. But as to those who have
adopted their fanaticism as an engine of par
ty, and are now as clamorous in proclamation
of it and obseqnious in obedience to it as but
few years, or few months ago, they were
vehement in its condemnation, even the char
liable judgement which the grave demands
will not shield their memories from the hatred
aud contempt which should follow those who
trade in their country's blood for personal
profit.

existing calls from the Government, the municipal
authorities will Immediately ascertain tho names of
such persons serving in the Navy, date of enlist
ment, name OF vessel they now in, or in which
they commenced service. Nothing short Of personal
and persistent application forthwith to every ship-
ping office. lodging house dwelling house, boarding

mariner or other person likely to possess knowledge
of the desired facts, will secure the important and
