Ii is an encouraging circumstance that an
Association to- promote the abolition of the
Death Penalty has been formed at Heidelberg,
and that similar Associations are increasing in
numbers throughout Germany. For the most
part, Capital Punishment is defended upon
Biblical grounds, and as Germany contains,
perhaps. u larger proportion of good Biblical
scholars than any other country, We may re-
ceivo from there some new light upon the theo-
logical aspects of the question. These, to our
minds, are not of the highest Importance; but
so long as some men continue to defend stran-
gulation by declaring it a Christian duty. so
long they must be met in their own strong
hold 1t is needful that legislators should not
be able to plead good conscience for bad laws.

COJU SPECULATION.

Tina Secretary of the Treasury has had a
good oppprtunity to talk with practicai Dusi-
mega men during his late visit, and VIII ITO
doubt give due weight to their suggestions
We trust then Secretary has concluded that one
,f his RESPONSIBILITIES is to check, so Tar as ne
has the mower, the Vaccinations OF the GOld
market The Treasury, by the operation OF the
revepue laws. becomes a hoarder OF Cold, re-
tanning constantly in its custody from eighty
to one hundred millions. While thus boarded 1T
is in the power of a few men to buy mp ana au
vance the price of Gold, so that the promises
of Government, as represented by greenpaehs,
are not worth by four or five per cent what
they were say thirty days ago. THIS operation
is carried on, too, while Government II dls-
playing wonderful strength. and reducing Hs
liabilities monthly 10y large amounts.
The effect OF this course Is twofold. lt dani-
ages business operations, causing merchants TO
hesitate and distrust. and at the same time
throws obstacles in the way OF resuming specie
payments All this is hostile to the true inter
csts of both the Government and the governed.
The purchase of bonds, by constantly reducing
the responsibilities OF Government, and conse-
ouently inspiring more confidence in its ability
TO redeem its promises should naturally tend
TO bring greenbacks nearer and nearer to Cold;
but knowing that the tide Of Coin flows into
the Treasury. and but partially flows out
again. spectators are enabled to create ficti-
tious value for the amount available to COM
meree by monopolizng all floating outside OF
the Treasury. The Secretary has it In his
power to stop this, by selling from the accu-
mutations of the Treasury, and it is, III our
Judgment, his duty to use this power to the
full extent of his authority.
Spectators have recently run up Gold from
132 to 1871 by the skillful use of five or six
millions of dollars, and the cost OF that opera
ton to the country can hardly be estimated
Ten millions of Treasury Gold given to these
vultures would have gorged them and given
peace to business men, while Government. by
judiciously investing the proceeds in its inter
est bearing bonds, would have maintained Its
position as strong and earnest debtor 1t
seems clear to us that no policy can benefit
the Government more than resolute adherence
to the idea of debt extinction. Sales OF Gold
without investing the proceeds in bonds would
tighten the money market and distress tax
payers; but receiving l36 or l34 IN currency
and buying up bonds at 190 is a wise and
shrewd financial operation. The only people
benefited by the retention of coin in the
Treasury are the Gold SPECTATORS who would

lieye. Government securities are worth

courage We can make others believe 1t too.

We are heartily glad to observe that, at last,
the authorities have plucked up courage to
make an actual beginning in TIE matter of
prosecuting the long-talked of revenue frauds
in Eew-0rleans. There has been much mys-
terious chatter about high officials implicated
in these frauds. At last we have the name of
one of these gentry. 1t is that of an honored
and gallant soldier. whose weIl-won laurels in
the War for the Union suficed to cover great
many previous political sins, but win not cover
present deficit of over six hundred thousand
dollars. We hope lie may prove innocent OF
the charge. but beg the Government to prose,

A Scene at Court.

A writer in "Packard's Monthly" tells
the following story of a scene to which
he was witness during his presentation
at the Court Of Queen Victoria. 1t Gu
riously illustrates the jealous regard the
English show for established privileges:
Only one incident worth mentioning
occurred during the ceremony of pre-
sentation. A young nobleman, whose
family had not been at court since the
accession of Her Majesty fine, tall
fellow, of manly bearing, was presented
towards the last As his name, Lord
George Alfred Connaught, was being an
nounced, he passed Prince Albert and
the young Princess and Prince in an ap-
parently naughty manner, without re-
moving his chdpeDu They seemed en-
ragged, but as it might be mistake, aris-
ing from embarrassment in a young no.
bleman first approaching his sovereign,
no notice was taken of the apparent
rudeness. When he had reached the
Queen, however, he uncovered his head,
knelt gracefully before her, kissed the
profered hand, arose, thrust his chapeaat
in positive manner upon his head, and
turned to address Prince Albert The
latter drew back; his face flushed scar
let. 1t looked like an intended insult to
the Princess Consort in the presence OF
the sovereign. A murmur of indigna-
ton ran through the throne room. The
old Duke of Wellington, bending under
the weight of rs years, and covered with
decorations, stepped forward to interfere
The Lord Chamberlain, however, was
before him, and when just upon the point
of arresting the offender, the Queen in

A Sensible Girl

Some writer to US unknown tells this
story of her.
Twenty years ago young man who
had paid attention to bright, sweet girl
for long time without making any thing
that was even second cousin TO q pro-
posal, was startled one evening by the
question, " Robert d, you want to mar
ry me2" He tried to evade the poin'
by asking why she put such a question to
him. Because, if you do not want to
marry me you must stop coming TO see
me. No mocking bird around the red
breasts nest, you know" Robert took
the hint, and with cool good night
walked home What should he care for
a girl so rude as that? Good company as
hers elsewhere. He would join the club
next day. He didn't quite like the turn
things had taken. The figure plagued
him. If he was mocking bird, who
was the red breast that he was keeping
away from such fitting partner? AT
any rate, one thing is certain, Edna is
smart, and she is pretty" he said to him.
self, "and she means business" The
next morning Robert went to the count
ing room. II was long day. Business
had dragged. EVERYBODY was pre'occu-
pied, hurried, cross. He was glad to go
home, only it wasn't home. He took a
book, but found himself trying to read the

LAWFUL REVENGE. - Many years
since, gentleman in Newington, par
ish of Westerfeld, Conn, who was very
religious and conscientious man, mar
ried the most ill-natured and troublesome
women he could find in the vicinity
This occasioned universal surprise wher-
ever he was known, and one of his neigh
bors ventured to ask him the reason that
had governed his choice. He replied
that having had but little trouble in the
world he was fearful of becoming too
much attached to things of time and
sense, and thought that by experiencing
some Affections, he should become more
weaned from the world, and he married
such woman as he thought would ac-
complish his object. The best part Of
the story is, that the wife, hearing the
reasons why he married her, was much
offended, and out of revenge, became
one of tke most pleasant and dntiful
wives in the town, declaring that she
was not going to be pack-horse to car
nv her husband to Heaven.
