Evidently q Mistake.

We published the premium list just
as furnished us, but a friend calls our
attention to the fact that the most
elegant embroidery by Miss Esther
Danbaum which was the admiration
OF every beholder, is not in the list OF
articles to which premiums were
awarned. We therefore conclude
that there Is some mistake about this
matter, which perhaps Mr.. Secretary
White can explain.
The discretionary committee wo Id
have awarded them the LIST honors
but were under the impression that
they We're entered in regular class.

The Farwell Hall prohibitionista were
greatly puzzled about the nama for their
bantliug- This was the more singular as
they included u,any elderly ladies who wcro
used to giving names to things. Alr. Smith
told them they might call it the Anti-D Dram-
Shop party, or The Anti -Dsam-selling party,
OF the Anti-Liquor party. These names
might further be varied to the Anti-sham-
Drop party, the shanty- -Damn-Drop
party, and the Cant-and. .Sham-Shop party.
After adopting several Of these, without
any consideration, they recon-
sidered, md called it the Temperance
party. But, unfortunately, it is not the
Temperance, party, as ninoty-nino hun
dredths OF temperance men do not belong
to it. But there are many other names
which might be appropriately suggested
In Difference to one Of its leading curiosi-
ties, it might have been styled "Ned Buut-
lines Own - party. Or, with equal refer
ence to its eyaneseence and its purity, it
might have been called tho Mounsain-De
party. Judging from the article Of diet
which chiefly suffered while it remained in
Chicago, it was the g. Watermelon party,
and the wan and cadarcrous connte1auces
Of many Of its members would lead one to
suppose it " coDsunptive party"

impossible That the yalue Of the bonds
would be affected.
The r9h to convert notes into bonds
would necessarily make them equal in gold
value to bonds, whether tho holders con.
vcrted any Of them Or not, Just as bunk
notes are always equal in value to green
backs, though the banks are rarely called on
10 redeem their notes in legal tenders. Who
supposos that this right Of conversion Of
bank. notes impairs the value OF gzeeubaefa7
Tho Bank Of England's notes are convezti-
bic into gold; but that does not decrease tho
vnlue Of gold; md, Il cur National Banlcs
should redeem in specie, 1t would not de-
tract from the value Of gold in the worlds
marketa.
Tho market value Of the GEO bonds de-
ponds on the punctual payment Of the gold
interest they bear, aud on the credit OF the
government amongst the capitalists Of the
world; md to restore to the greeubacks
the right Of conversion simply puts the
option in tho hands Of their holders to place
them on the same plane with tho bonds.
lorg as si1 Per cent gold interest is
promptly paid On the bonds, and an honest
purpose is esinced to pay tho principal
when duo, there can be no depreciation in
their market Ealue, whether greenbackB are
made convertible OF not. Indeed, a little
reflection must convince anyone that On
effort on the part Of tho government to up
preciate the ynlue Of its demand notes,
either by redectniug or funding them,
must haEea beneficial effect on the nationnl
credit, and tendency to advance the value
Of all the public secuEities.
