Everyday Philosophy.

Hans Patrick 0'Couner, formerly
known by the nom de plane of "Boau
Hackett," contributed the following
to the ST, Louis home journal:
Never insure your life for a great
or sum that ten thousand dollars. A
widow with more money than that is
a dangerous legacy to leave posterity.
The "gamo of life is very much
like game Of cards. Time deals,
death cuts, aud everybody is waiting
for the last trump.

cause they are afraid to drink by

BILE courage to stand up alone and
pour glass Of whiskey down your
throat.
There are some Inconsistencies in
this world that don't exactly under

to heaven, but nobody is in a hurry
about it,

would not give ten cents for his
friends. The maE Who can please

displcasc anybody.
When an acquaintance says, Chow

Recent Eleotions.

If the leaders of the Democratic
party are now in position to learn
anything, they will find in the result,
of the recent elections, food for prof
table speculation. In New Iamp-
shire, where II. Clay Dean, Uhauu.
cey g. Burr, and other uudeuiable
representatives Of tho worst Copper
head class, we're the oratorical oracles
of the party, aud where every plank
10 the platform was redolent with the
odor of peace aud Pierce. the Dean
Democracy met with Sadowa defeat.
In Rhode Island whore the same par.
ty with similar weapons, undertook
to fight General Burnside aud his war
rocord--a record not the most bril-.
liant or the best--we find the victor
of Roanoke Island, tho victor also
over the Copperhead cohorts of
Rhode Island.
in Connecticut in 1866, the party
cut loose from the leadership of the
Scymours and Touceys, ceased their
opposition to the war for the Union,
aud chose for their leader James Il.
English, Of New Haven, a conspicuous
and uncompromising supporter of the
war policy Of Liucoln's administra-
tion. Mr. English was in name only
a Democrat; on all the vital quos tions
of the day he was in harmony with
the great Union party, and spoke
often with force and laborcd with Of
feet to preserve the Republic For
having arrayed himself in opposition
to a majority of the leaders of his
party in laboring thus zeal0usly for
the cause of his country, Mr.. English
received the warm sympathy and. sup
port of many Republicans of his own
State, and as result of this endorse
ment of his course, we find that in
1866, Mr.. English reduced to 541 the
majority ofll, ,035 of the year before.
Thus we find difference in Connect.
icut, between the popular estimate of
a war Democrat aud peace Copper
head, Of more than ten thousand votes.
In 1867, English wiped out the Re.
publican majority ofthe year before,
Of 54l, and was elected Governor of
Connecticut by a majority of 9S7.
This year that majority has been in. q.
creased to 1871.

More Currency.

In commercial article of the In =
dependent We find the following:
The extraordinary tightness Of
the money market, which has been
very severely felt at the West, has
given new force to tho demand for
more currency; aud, though for the
present moment Congress does not
appear to be disposed to pay particu
lar attention to the clarnor for green
backs, we have good reasons for bo-
lieving that bill will be past requir
ing the issue Of at laast ffty millions
more cufrency-or enough, at least,
to make good the amount which Mr..
McCulloeh retired under the 81, 1000,
600 a month provision. That this is
a measure that the healthy business
Of the country requires, we do not
doubt; and that the diminishing
amount of revenue will render it es-
sential to tho Government there can
be as little doubt. Congress will not
venture to adjourn, after the impeach-
ment trial shall be over, aud leave
the country subject to the troubles
incident to a diminished currency,
while the people arc absorbed in the
prosecution Of a Presidential con-
test"

correspondent asserts, that the late
Elias Howe is found insolveut. He
was supposed to have fortune OF
four or five millions, having derived
an income Of nearly $500, 600 per at
from his monopoly of the sewing
machine. When his heirs were told
that there was but 5000, 900 to be di.
vided among them, they refused to
credit the statement aud demanded
an investigation. The investigation
took place, and il was ascertained
according to the story Of the cores
