The Appreciation of Greenbaoks. !

The necessity Of large cxrendltures
caused the usual of greenbacks; the
continuance Of that necessity brought
about their depreciation, and its deter
minalion will restore them to their face
value. An outlay of three millions
per dav, it is evident, could not be met
in specie; nor could it be continued,
as it has been, in paper money, with
out that money sinking oelow par.
When the usual stopped, 1t is equally
evident 'bat-rre supposlng the stop
page to be permanent, and the existing
issues not too great for The require
ments Of the country-the process Of
depreciation must cease, and that Of
appreciation begin. Now this is the
precise condition OF the currency to-
day. The rapid pacihcatinn OF the
country, and the little danger OF Il
rupture with France, make 1t almost a
fotcoono CONCLUSION that there will be
no more gleenbacks issued, and the
only question is whether the present
volume Of currency be too great for
the requirements ol the c-unlry. We
think not.

most tender Cancellation. The Justice
of which men speak !n reference to tue
policy Of reconstruction is but another
name for a revenge which can he APP
peased but at the cost of the Union.
The capture of Mr.. Davis is one OF the
most unfortunate things that could
have occurred to the people Of both
sections; for it brings up the real DIFF
fcu!iies OF tho hour in q form most
dangerous to the only policy which can
save the countrv-that calculated to
erase all bloody memories. Mr.. Davis
falls into the hands of the Government
as q man whor, the civilized world
refuses to regard a criminal. His
purity Of private life, his singleness of
purpose, his sp plendid powers of admin
istra,ion are acknowledged, outside the
miserable ours that now bark at his
lieel>, by all Christendom. The elect
ed representative Of millions of free
born men, and men too who have
placed their conviction of right in
making that election uuder the guar
antv OF their lives, he stands before
mankind the chosen chief Of sovereign
States. borne down, ike Poland, by
the weight Of crushing columns.
Treason, rebellion aud even allegations
of conspiracy may OF may not be
proven against him; but the Admins
tration, if it have any respect for its
own character, for the character Of this
Republic, may make up its mind that
it can offer no wanton indigEity, lay
no violent hands on the person of Mr..
Davis, without an outrage against the
feelings and the conscience of both
hem> pheres. Harmless that unhappy
gentleman now is, and if sent quietly
back to his plantation In Mississippi

men will utter for evelmore a nucleus
Of all the ennities OF the future, :lle
curses that now rise to their throats
with choking passion against what

perience, the Uaion.

aim of bringing the sectlons together

system of mutual cancellation. The
Union, ii i; is to be in reality saved,
must be plucked from the burning
passions that cracllle and flame around
it, North and South, anJ planted Ia a

Cure for Catarrl,.

Those who have suffered with Catarrhs,
knows them to be very painful, SO severe
as to entirely prevent moments ease, or
even sleep for days and nights in success
sion. We give below simple, speedy
and positive cure, which our informant
AYERS has been tested in numerous cases.
Recently, Mrs. Catherine Arnold, of
Pleasant township, after having enduered
agonizing pain for over a week fiom a
Catarrh in the middle of the hand, under
Physicians care, who poulticed and
lanced it, getting no relief, but the pain
becoming more intense, finally was in
formed Of the cure alluded to, viz:
Wrap the hand closely in the fresh
warm skin of squirrel, three times with
in thirty-six hours, at regular intervals.
The first three hours gave complete re-
lief from pain, the Inflammation and swell
ling was removed in twenty four hours,
and the hand was healed up and sound
within seven days.
A gentleman at our elbow gives an in
fallible remedy for that other similar and
more frequent hand ailnent, the Felon,
viz:-Wrap the fingers in the sack or skin
of an egg. This will increase the pain
for an hour or so, then it will gradually
decrease, and generally effects a perma-
nent cure within three hours.

what it Takes to Make a Lady .

When Beau Brummel was asked what
it took to make gentlemen, his quick re-
ply was, Starch, starch, my lord 7 This
may be true; but it takes great deal
more to make lady. and though it may
seem singular, l am ready to maintain
that no conceivable quantity of muslin,
silk or satin, edging, frilling, hopping,
founcing or furbelowing, can per Sc or
per dress maker, constitute real lady.
Was not Mrs. Abbott Lawrence just as
much lady when attired in twelve cent
calico, in Boston, as when arrayed in full
court dress at St. James, London? "As
Mrs. Washington was said to be SO grand
a lady," says a celebrated English visitor
(Mrs. Thrope "we thought We must put
on our best bibs and bands; SO we dressed
our selves incur most elegant ruffies and
silks, and were introduced to her ladyshir
and don't you think we found her knitting
and with her check apron on !! She re-
ceived US very graciously and easily; but
after the compliments were over she re.
sumed her knitting. There we were
without a stitch of work, and sitting in state
but General Washington's lady, with hel
own hands was knitting stockings for hel

Government Cotton Planting.

The new cotton raisers along the Mis-
sissippi cut sorry figure. The fields
show more weeds than cotton. 1t will be
found that with emancipation cotton
growing and sugar-making are played
cut The white man would perform the
labor, if he could not do better; but he
can live easier than that. The negro will
not work for wages in cotton fields or on
sugar plantations. Ofcourse the radicals
will scoff.at.th this, although the experiment
has been tried and the result known. A
few years will add another experiment,
and then we shall have all sorts ofexcuses
and wriggling and explaining, and seme
more Yankee quackery to amend the OK
pertinent and try it over again. In the
meantime the negro perishes away, and
the world will be informed that he is kill
ed by the effects of slavery. If he had
been the highly enlightened, cultivated
being he was when brought here, he
would have survived and done exploits.
The country is in the hands of political
quacks just now, and we may look for
nostrums of various sorts, each warranted
to cure if well taken - Losisrilie Demo-

w. j. ALLEN, of Sigourney, Wiscon-
sin, killed his wife week ago last Thurs
day. he was arrested by the Sheriff, but
at first denied the crime. A large num-
Der of his neighbors followed the sheriff
miles, and demanded the prisoner, swear
ing they would hang him on the spot.
The sheriff threatened to shoot the first
man that should touch the prisoner and
after considerable parley, was allowed to
proceed. But after proceeding six miles
further, he was again overtaken by the
mob, when fresh attempts we're made to
seize the prisoner, but the firwness man
ifested ON the part of the sheriff, and Al
lens promising to make full confession
quelled the mob.
Allen then confessed that after dinner
he went to work in the field, leaving his
wife asleep on the bed, but soon returned
to the house, and taking a single-tree,
went to where she lay, and with 1t beat
out her brains. He gives as his excuse
| for this heinous crime, that he was en-
gagged to be married to a girl fifteen
years of age. He thought he could kill
his wife and get out of the scrape BY
charging it to some one else, and then
settle down with his new wife.
After this confession theshcriff and his
prisoner were permitted to go on their
way unmolested.
