n@sTo meet the demands of the pub lie, there will be issued from the Trea- sury Department, in a few weeks, an additional fractional currency note of the denomination of fifteen cents. The principal embellishments on the face of this note are an engraved likeness of General Grant on the Right hand, and on the left end of the note likeness of Lieutenant General sherman. The back ofthe note, like all other issues of government money, will be green, with the figure fifteen on each side of the note. The bronze figures which have thus far been placed upon the various denominations of United States curren- cy will be omitted on this new issue, and for safety, peculiar kind ofpaper will be substituted.

The Pulpit.

If mau ordained for the ministry is without sacred passion for his work ccr- tain it is that he makes an 'imbecile pulpit. If his heart burns not with love to all his fcllow-creaturcs, high and low, then no matter what culture may sit upon his lips, he is the weak master of an imbecilc pulpit If he is afraid .or ashamed to declare the whole counsel of God, he is poor prisoner in 'an imbecilc pulpit If he is an idol .ater of his own creed, holding that every man who believes something different her ctic and infdel, he is the unanointed proph- ct of 'an imbecile pulpit If he goes to the General assembly only to make an cx- hibition of pitiful narrowncss, meanness and bigotry, he publicly puts himself in the pillory of 'an imbecile pulpit If he sheds tears over the heresies of others, but publishes volumes of heresies of his own, he shows an amiable foretoken of 'an imbecile pulpit

HOLLOW HoRs.-It is very common at this season of the year, especially with mileh cows. The remedy which is vouched for as efectual, Gas it certain ly is very simple,) is to make slit in the end of the tail, insert some black pepper and salt, mixed, then wrap and tie up. It is usual to bore small hole in the side of the horn; also, to rub turpentine on the head back of the horns. --l Agricultural Report for 1886.

 TIE LAST FREAK.-The last freak oi fashion, the London Medical Press says, is the abolition of the pearl pow der, rouge and white lead that have so long reigned. Even belladona is to be discarded at Paris, and golden hair will soon become rare commodity. The decree has gone forth for black hair and bronze complexions, and they are henceforth to be produced, no mat ter at what expense. To give lady of fashion complexion ofgipsy, noth- ing is needed but little walnut juice :; but whether dirty face will long be the rage, the Medical Press says, it would be rash to predict.

The AH0eBleiRe Zeitteag describes a
curious play in the Turkish language
which was brought out the other day in
the theater at ConstsntinOple. 1t is
entitled Psy-viz, and is the production of
young Turk educated at Paris, named
Heider Ali Bey. The author shows a
considerable acquaintance with the pc
culiarities of Turkish metres, and the
play has many highly poetical passages,
although the comic element seems
greatly to predominant over the serious.
The hero, philosophical millionaire,
enters on the stage with a long disquisi-
tion ON what would have happened if
the world had never existed. "There
would haya BEEN" he says, neither
laughing nor crying, neither rose beds,
nor cup-bearers, nor flutes, neither joys
nor sorrows, neither pleasure nor pain, ("
and SO on, in succession of negatives
which might obviously be continued Qd
infnituDa without any great effort of
thought on the part of speaker or hearer.

ments with him, takes him into the din

creetly lowered, and the second act
closes. The third is very short one.

From washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The tenor OF
all official Information from Europe is
TO the effect that the recent speeches on
finances are being used by spectators
or parties hostile TO the United States,
with the greatest industry, and with
considerable effect in depreciating our
national credit, that u $. bonds have
fallen very considerably, mainly
through their influences within the last
few weeks, and that Renters telegram
has manifested the utmost alacrity in
disseminating reports concerning our
finances bearing the worst construc-
ton, and even an absurd rumor has
found its way into Europe and
has gained considerable credence
that the November interest due
on our bonds is to be paid by the
Secretary in greenbacks instead of
gold. To these statements and re-
ports official reply has been furnished
that practically an expression on this
subject Is useless, as no one can reason
ably doubt that even with u moderate
degree of prosperity the paper curren-
cy of the United States will be on par
with gold long before the time the
gold bearing securities OF the United
States shall be presented for payment,
the first issue of 5-20s having yet about
fourteen years to run; therefore it is in
sisted that the present discussion as To
whether bonds are payable in gold or
not leads TO no practicable good,
