How Hon. Ben Wade Bluffed Fire
IS Eater.

Senator Wade inaugurated the
practice Of setting up Northern back
bone in the Senate. Soon after tax :
| ing -hisseat, he witnessed one ofthose
| scenes so common in the Senate in
those days A Southern fire eater
made an attack on a Northern Senas
tor, and Wade was amazed and dis
| gusted at the cringing, cowardly way
10 which the Northern man bore the
/ taunts andeinsults of the hot-headed
! S0utherner. As no allusion was
made TO himself or State, Mr. Wade
! sat still, but when the Senate adjourn
ed, be said openly, ifever Southern
Senator made such an attack on him
or bis State while he sat upon that
floor, he would brand him as liar.
This coming TO the ears OF the South
ern men, Senator took occasion to
pointedly speak few days afterward
Of Ohio and her people as negro
thieves. Instantly Mr.. Wade sprang
to his feet and pronounced the Sena-
tor liar. The Southern Senators
were thunderstruck, and gathered
around their champion, while the
Northern men grouped about Wade.
A feeler was put out from the South>
ern side, looking to retraction, but
Mr. Wade retorted in his peculiar
style and demanded an apology for
the insult offered to himself and the
people he represented. The matter
thus closed, and fight was looked
on as certain. The next day a gen>
tlemen called on the Senator from
Ohio, and asked the usual question
touching his acknowledgement Of the
code
II am here" he responded, sin i
double capacity | represent tho
State Of Ohio, and ! represent Bel.
Wade. As Senator | am opposed
to duelling. AS Ben Wade recog-
nize the code.
AMy friend feels agrievcd," said
the gentlemen, Eat what you have
said in the Senate yesterday, and
will ask for az apology or satisfac>
ton"
as SOIuSN lidC oHlodItoScu, /,
continued Senator Wade, "by my
position yesterday, as | have some
RESPECT for the Chamber. | now
take this opportunity to say, what |
then thought and you will, if yon
please, repeat it. Your friend is a
foul mouthed old blackguard
Certainly, Senator Wade, you do
not wish me to convey such a mes
sage as that"
Most undoubtedly | do; and Will
tell you for your benefit, this friend
of yours will never notice it. | will
not be asked tor either retraction,
explanation or q fight"
Next morning Mr.. Wade came in
to the Senate, and proceeding to bis
seas, deliberately drew from under
his coat Two large pistols, and un~
locking his desk laid them inside
The Southern men looked on in 81
Ience, while the Northern members
enjoyed the fire eaters surprise at
the proceedings Of the plucky Ohio
Senator No further notice was to-
ken Of the affair Of the day before
Wade was not challenged, but ever
afterward was treated with the ut
most poIitencss and consideration by
the Senator who had SO insultingly
attacked him.

e4-A young man was cleaning O
pair OF gloves, having about q pint of
benzine in pan. As he was hold,
ing them by the fire to dry, they ig-
nited with a slight explosion, and, in
endeavoring to kick them out the
door, the pan of benEine caught fire,
with report like gunpowder, and
filled the room with infiamed gas in
moment. In escaping from the
flames by the inner door, they fol>
lowed him so rapidly that the family
were able to escape only with their
lives, saving nothing and in fifteen
minutes from the first alarm the
building-a large frame house-was
destroyed.

Torn Greenbacks and Worn Out Small
pox Currency.

We have, at different times, in re-
ply to the public demand, explained
how demoralized currency may be
exchanged for new. In answer to
fresh demands, we give the follow
ing complete and full statement,
With is supposed to cover every
case:
If less than one>twentieth of the
note is missing, no matter how much
it may be worn or torn, it will be
redeemed in full upon presentation
to any ofthe Subtreasurers. Ifmore
than one-twentieth OF the note is
actually gone, and positive proof can
not be offered that the missing por-
ton has been totally destroyed, the
fragment will be redeemed only at
the Treasury in Washington. Gen.
Spinner will give for its proportions
ate value, reckoning by twentieths
The same general rules of redemption
apply also to the compound>interest
and other interest bearing notes Of
the Government.
Fractional currency. when not mu
tilated, and when properly assorted
and made up in sums not less than
three dollars, will be redeemed in
lawful money Of the United States
at any of the Assistant Treasurers Of
the Government. Mutilated frac-
tional currency-defaced currency is
not considered mntilated-will be
redeemed only at Washington, and
only according to the same general
rules which govern the redemption of
the larger United States notes. The
rigid rules as here described do not
apply to the redemption Of notes of
National Banks. A National Bank
is bound TO redeem its mutilated
notes, on demand, in lawful money,
| If it has no reason TO believe that the
missing portions of the note can be
used to defraud The Comptroller
will allow full face value for all such
notes retlrned to him, if such value
was allowed by the banks redeem
my them.
In suspicious cases il is still a ques.
tons whether OF not banks may al,
1 low porportionate value for their is
sues. The question is just now one OF
great interest. The market has sud>
slenly been supplied with what may
be called mixed aud reduced cur
roncy.

tu.es the larger part of the business now,
and # this trade much.the larger part
goes from the West.
In the Boston market business o0ntin-
ues quite satisfactory, considering that
it Is the season TO expect a dull trade.
There Is no change to note in the general
tons Of the market the manufacturers
and dealers sre engaged prospecting for
spring trade, looking ID styles, snd
making some slight changes Ia old pat
terms, merely for the sake Of having
something new to meet the ~stereoiFped
call Of the trate each year of !" What
have you got that's new to show US this
time?" This demand for something
new in style has been rung IN the esrs Of
shoe manufacturers from time to time,
and has led them to produce such 81 fog
of styles and patterns that the most
.skilIful pilots in the trade hesitate upon
what line to steer for fear OF that f5un-
daring rock, old stock. Fancy styiesaud
faneifully-trimmed s2oes for the ersral
trade have never been very dssiriIn2s,
and, from present indications, will meet
with less favor this season than ever;
plain, Substantial, standard goods will be
in more active demand for the next
springs trade.
The meat market is quiet and rather
weak. This latter m more from the
light demand than from aa.g other esuse,
as new stocks can't be laid tiown here at
