Greenbacks against Gold.

Fears are expressed now and then that
greenbacks may not be good after while,
and that it would be we'll not to part with
gold.
These fears are groundless. The govern
ment of the United States is to-day one of
the strongest in the world. 1t is pledged to
make good its currency and to pay its bonds.
This pledge will be redeemed. We venture
the prediction that, three years from to-day,
the difference between greenbacks and gold
will not be more than ten cents to the dol
lar-or, in other words, that one dollar and
ten in currency will purchase one dollar in
gold. Commissions mag come, but we do not
believe they will. The majority will rule !;
the government will be re-established on
stable foundations its credit will be main
tanned; and we shall yet be a united, pros
porous, and happy people. Don't listen to
those who tell you that the national currency
is likely to become worthless.

A correspondent of the Round Table dis
courses as follows on Belgium and its king
The young king of Belgium, who has just
recovered from an attack of small pox, seems
to be much beloved by his people. He is
good looking man, little over thirty years
of age, and very grave. He looks delicate.
He has well-shaped, 1ongish Dutch head,
dark complexion, soft brown eyes, promi-
nent and good nose, rather inclined to be
aquiline. He SENS to have much humility.

was an Austrian arch duchess, is remarkably
pretty. The king is just now very uneasy,
it is thought, about the condition of his
country between Bismarck and Napoleon,
who are now pitted against each other like
two cocks, with all nations forming ring
around them. The question, is seriously

The editor of the Vicksburg Times, who
has been touring through the great West,
has arrived at the conclusion, from the sights
he saw, the sounds he heard and the politi-
cal fog tangible, that things are all going
wrong for our vishes-that the Radicals will
carry it all their own way. The amendments
will be forced upon us, and we will have to
be pardoned over again by Congress. But
the Times says:
There is another side, however. to the ques
ton which we do not think proper to speak
of now. Let the people of the South act
with moderation and dignity, and the power
working for them will lead them back to
peace and equality; or else, Sampson like,
bury those who seek their ruin and degra-
dation in the abyss prepared for an unfortu
nate and oppressed people.

Gov. Sharkey, of Mississippi, has recently
written letter, in which among other things
he says:
az do not believe the Constitutional amend
ment was recommended by two-thirds of the
Congress of the U. S. The constitutional
House of Representatives consists of mem
bers chosen by the people of the several
States, and the senate consists of two Sena-
tors from each State, and It is very clear that
a body not so composed-or, in other words,
where considerable number of States are
excluded from representation in both branch
es-is not the Congress of the United States"

It is cheering, in the midst of the present
disturbed state of the country, to witness
with what zeal the friends of education en-
gage in the work of educating their children
and of building up schools. While a tur-
bulent spirit seems to have seized the whole
north, the South remains calm, and all class
es have turned their attention to this great
work Even the colored people have turned
their attention to education, and right glad
are we that they have. If the two races are
to live together, it is better for the whites
that the colored population should be edu-
Gated. 1t is better to live among an intelli-
gent people than an ignorant population
And, aside from this consideration, we can
not see how any one can object to their adj
vancement in this respect, as then, they will
learn wisdom from the good book. which
will make them better citizens and thus in
general way, benefit society. We wish

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT WATER
| The extent to which waters mingle with
bodies apparently the most solid, is
very wonderful. The giittering opal,
which beauty wears as an ornament, is
only flint and water. Of every 1,200
tons of earth which landlord has on
his estate, 400 are water. The snow
capped SUBMITS of Snowdon and Ben
Nevis have many million tons of water
in a solicited form. In every plaster
of Paris statue which an italian carries
through the streets for sale, there is one
pound of water to four pounds of chalk.
The air we breathe contains five grains
of water to each cubit foot of its bulk.
The potatoes and turnips which are boil
state, the one IS per cent. and other 80
per cent. of water. If man weighing
ten stone were squeezed in hydraulic
press, seven and a half stone of water
would run out, and only two and half
stone of dry residue remain.
A man is. chemically speaking, As
pounds of carbon and nitrogen, diffused
through five and a half pailsful of water.
In plants we find water thus mingling
no less wonderfully. A sunfower evap-
crates one and quarter p1nts OF water
day, and cabbage about the same
quantity. A wheat plant exhales, in
IT'S days, about 100, 900 grains of water.
An acre of growing wheat, on this cal
culation, draws and passes out about
20 tons of water per day. The sap of
plants is the medium through which
this mass of fluid is conveyed. 1t forms
a delicate pump, up which the watery
particles run with the rapidity of
swift stream. By the action Of the sap
various properties may be communica-
ted to the growing plant. Timber in
France is, for instance, dyed by various
colors mixed with water, and sprinkled
over the root of the tree. Dahlias, are
also colored by a similar process.

CHINESE P1RATEs.-Hong Kong pa
pers give a full account of recent cap
ture and burning of twenty-five pirate
iunks by a couple of British gunboats,
which sailed from Hong Kong July II,
for Hainan Island, and discovered the
pirates in a small inlet. Tha place is
described as beautiful spot, covered
with luxurart tropical vegetation, one
usually afiording safe retreat. The
junks each mounted about ten large
guns, ard showed fight without hesita-
ton. The gunboats advanced to with
in short range, and were occasionally
struck, though most of the balls from
the pirate junks passed over them.
This cannonading went on for about
two hours, when new turn was given
to the course Of events by means of a
landing party from the gunboats.
About five and forty men were quietly
put on shore and under cover of the
jungle made their way round to the
part of the creek at which the pirate
vessels were lying, without being OBJ
served until they came close to the
junks. From those lying close along
shore the pirates Immediately fled, scull--
ing In their sampans of swimming ashore
to the opposite side OF the creek, and
gradually, as the landing party took
possession of the junks along shore, and
by means of boats began to board those
which were anchored out in the creek,
the pirates gave up, and even from the
vessels lying furthest out, the crew
slipped over the sides, and disappeared
with or without the assistance of sam
pans.
A number of pirates were made pris-
oners, but being mostly wounded and
in need of medical attention, were al
lowed to escape. The junks were all
burnt. Notwithstanding some of them
contained valuale cargo. 1t is thought
that the severe punishment thus inflic-
ted, and the organization of a court at
Hong Kong for the suppression of pi-
racy, (the admiral of the station being
Chief Justice), will have most saluta-
~ effect.

The LONDON CONSUMPTION OF FISH.
A statement of the consumption of fish
in and through the London markets
alone will give some Indication of the in
Vulnerable millions consumed through
out Great Britain. 1t appears that the
metropolis is annually supplied with
10000 Goldfish, 25, 100000 of mackeral,
100, 900, of soles, So 100000 Of place,
and 2OO,OOO,OOO of haddock. Besides
this provision of white-fsh, the supply
includes 100000 of red herring and
100000 of dried cod. We may also
add to the the proceeding 92O,OOO,OOO
of molluscous shell-fsh, and a daily
supply of 10, 600 Holsters during the sea-
son The foregoin enumeration affords
key to the requirements in fiesh-food
of the whole population of the United
Kingdom.
1t is well that the commissioners for
inquiring 'sinto the sea fisheries of the
country are enabled to report: eve
have no difficulty in coming to the con-
clusion that on the coasts of Great Bri-
tain the supply of fish is increasing,
and that it admits of progressive in
crease''-a fact which is established by
much evidence taken in various locali-
GleS He SGetOlolS NlSlCeo were
SIS in all, including Il in Ireland. We
learn also that the capital employed
yields very satisfactory return, and
the boats engaged in fisheries are every
year increasing both in number and
size; while no class of our laboring
population are in more comfortable cir
cumstances than the British fishermen
In Ireland it is far otherwise; for the

SIMPLE MODE OF COMPUTING INTEREST
A new method of computing interest on any
number of dollars at six per cent. appears
very simple. Multiply any given number of
dollars by the number of days of interest de-
sired, separate the right hand figure. and di-
vide by six; the result is the true interest of
such sum for such number of days, at six per
cent. This rule is so simple and so true, &C
cording to all business usages, that every
banker, broker, merchant or clerk should
post it up for reference and use. There be-
ing no such thing as fraction in it. there is
scarcely any liability to err or mistake By
no other mathematical process can the desir-
ed information be obtained with so few
figures.
