CARELESS BUSINESS MEN.-It Is impos-
sible for a man to be careless in his
business affairs, or unmindful of his
business obligations, without being
weak or rotten in his personal charac-
ter. Show me a man who never pays
his notes when they are due, and who
shuns the payment of his bills when it
is possible, and does both things as a
habit, and l will show you a man whose
morals are beyond all question bad.
We have had illustrious examples Of
this lack of business exactness. We
have had great men whose business
habits were simply scandalous-w who
eve paid their bills unless urged and
worried, and who expended for their
personal qualification every cent of
money they could lay hands upon.
These delinquencies have been apollo
gized for as among the ecceatricities of
genius, oil as the unmindfulness ofsmall
affairs which naturally attends all great
ness of intellect and intellectual effort 4:
but the world has been too easy with
them altogether. l could name great
men-apd the anne of some of them
arise before the readers of this letter
who are atrociously dishonest. l care
not how many admirable traits they
possess. l am ready to believe any
thing bad of a man who habitually
neglects to fulfill his business obliga-
tons. Such a man is certainly rotten
at heart. He is not to be trusted with
the public responsibilities S, q rum Bottle,
or a Woman.-HoHand.

A JARDIN MANILA New York
correspondent writes as follows: We
are soon to have here in New York The
institution of Paris. The jardin mdbihc,
or monster garden, costing two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, has been
projected and will be completed and
opened to the public on the 18th Of
May. 1t is to be located on Seventh
avenue, between Fifty-seventh and
Fifty-eight street, and constructed in
the shape of aGreek cross. The walks
are to be twenty feet wide and seventy
five long-with unscadsmized floors
furnishing in all twelve hundred feet OF
promenade. In the centre of the gar
den e brilliant Illuminating fountain is
to be located. The upper right wing of
the garden will consist of water and
rocks; upper left wing Of flower gal
lery /; lower right wing Of monumental
flowers, and the lower left wing will con-
sist of illuminated boquets and grape
vines. One thousand illuminated bo-
quets are also to be suspended all over
the garden, which is to contain q par
quette circle and dress circle. The
dancing hall will be n hundred feet
deep and seYenty-fve wide, opening
ntothree grand dining saloons through
festoooned arches. These saloons are
to have one thousand five hundred
banquet chairs. The band connected
with the gardin will comprise sixty
pieces, and be led BY Theodore Thomas:
The admittance fee to the "balls" will
be one dollar, and to the dances given
every night, when the balls are not
held, twenty-five cents. Remson APP

Contract the paper Currency

There can be no stability to business,
no binding nature in contracts, and no
safety in any enterprise, without a
fixed standard of value and the only
fixed standard is gold and silver. Paper
money drives these abroad. The only
way to specie currency, therefore, is to
retire the paper. And whatever paper
money remains should not be issued by
the Government. Nothing but immi-
nent public danger and the impossible
ty of raising ear for the public de-
fence in any other way, a Justify the
issues of unpayable notes and making
them a legal tender. Nothing can
Justify its continuance in peace. Are
men intoxicated with the eight years
ascendency of their party, that they
can deliberately advocate the putting
this absolute power over the values of
property, the terms of contracts, the
s~olvency of trade, and the very subsis-
tence of the people into the hands of a
party government? When a dishonor-
ed governmental legal tender currency
becomes an established system in this
republic, it will be far on the downward
EOdu ludb mas Ueeu lIdftAcu ny the
Spanish American republics. Unless
men can stop all the business of the
country until all private debts are
wiped out, nothing can be gained by
proposing currency restoration for
them. To expand the paper currency,
only expands every form of indebted
ness. There has been q decline in
prices, partly from a contraction of the
currency, partly from anticipation of
contraction, and more from a reaction
that has come VI business in Europe
as well as here. So much of the hard
ship inseparable from the approach to
specie payment has been gone through.
To expand the currency and raise prices
again, to be followed by another con
traction, would only crush a fresh lot
of victims, and would make another
expansion of debt. to be magnified by
the following appreciation of money
Let US save what we have achieved and
look ~inflexibly to a restoration to the
worlds standard of value.-Cncinnati

REGARDING THE WIT OF WOMEN
Women have whims and women have
humors. This position is incontrovertible.
IA 2 consequence, women are whimsical,
and should be humorous. But the SGtur.
day Reviel0 asserts that in all literary and
social record there is no instance of a hu.
morous woman. Women are witty, caus.
tic, cynical, but humorous. For
humor is as often its own butt as otherwise
but who can conceive of a woman laugh
ing at herself, much less melting Others to
that entertainment: The nearest approach
TO humorous writing by women has been
perpetrated by Mrs. Stowe in some Of her
essays, and by Miss Evans in her novel,
1.-THE Mill on the Floss" The character
Of the farm-wife in that fiction, and her
sayings, are as comical as anything IN
Pickwick.

THE IRISH WIFE.


Iwsuld not give my Irish wife
For al the danes Of Saxon land
l would not give my Irish wife
For the Queen OF Frances hand.
For she TO me is dearer
Than castles strong. or lands or lhes
In death I would be near her.
And rise besides my Irish vile.
o, what would be this homo Of mine
A ruined, hermit-haunted place
But for the light that nightly shines
Hnon its walls. from kathleen's faceg
What comfort in a mine Of gold
What pleasure in a royal lie
If the heart within lay dead and cold.
If could not wed my Irish wife,
knew the law forbade the hanns-
know my King abhorr'd her race.
Who never bent before their clans.
Must bow before their ladies' race.
Take all my forfeited domain
cannot wage with kinsmen strife
Take knightly gear and noble name.
And l will keep my Irish wife.
Ny Irish wife has clear blue eyes.
Ny heaven by day, my stars by night:
And. tWin-like, truth and fOndness lie
Within her swelling bosom white;
Ny Irish wife has golden hair
ApollO's harp had once such strings
ApOllo's self might pause to hear
Her bird-like carol when she sings.

PLASTIC SLATE ROOFING
THE CHIEF ARGUMENT AID

THE CHIEF AID
duced by the friends Of Plastic Slate in
proof of its superiority over all inventions Of
like character. is the important and ineontro-
vertible fact that the two elements Of which il
is composed possess characteristics Of affinity
combined in no other roofing material heretoe
fore or at present in use. Coal tar is found to
be the viseous element alike Of coal and slate.
and il was discOvered-nOt inVented-that BY
the combination oftar and slate a composition
was obtained possessing the pliability and elias
ITCHY Of the former. with the solidity and in
destructibility Of the latter. and scientific in
vestigatiOn. rs well as our own experience.
fully establishes the fact that its exposure to
heat and cold-Wet and dry-serves only to re-
construct the two elements into their original
