The Secretary of the Treasury-Bout-
well-has determined to buy up Gov
eminent Bonds at the rate of million
dollars a week, with the idle gold in his
possession. At this rate he will reduce
the debt fifty millions a year and reduce
interest over six millions at the same
time. The gold gamblers Of Wall
street are violently opposed to this
course, but we opine Mr.. Boutwell, will
60 on without much regard to their
wishes or interests. They are running
up gold and have run it up to over lao,
but Bonds go up likewise in the same
ratio; and the redemption OF Bonds,
and thereby reducing their numbers,
must make them worth more in the
market. Better use up the idle gold in
the Treasury and save many millions Of
interest. 1t will pave the way for the
substitution of foar per cent chicago

Affecting Incidents.

A correspondent Of the Springfield Re-
p4Utcan gives picture Of Minnesota, and
. IN the course of his narrative tells the
afellowingA sst"
1t was only the other day that a club,
by-faced Swede made himself ridiculously
prominent at be eastern. depot, by, telling
every man, woman and child present that
his wife and boy were coming On the. next
train, all the way from Sweden. The
poor fellow had been in Minnesota lor.two
years, and by the dint OF hard work and
living on quarter a day, had scraped to-
gether enough to get him little home and
to enable him to send for his family, and
now they were coming on the next train,
and the months Of anxious expectancy
were almost over. The train dashed into
the depot, the emigrants began to file out,
and presently appeared sad, weary-look
ing woman with something in her arms.
The man rushed forward and asked for his
boy, and the woman burst ipto tears The
boy was corpse in her arms--had sick
ened on the journey and died on the train,
and the poor mans heart seemed broken.
The depot employees made rude box for
the body, and sadly enough they went
away.
A somewhat similar, but more sad
event occurred the other day. Every day
for about week a young but careworn
woman came to the end OF the bridge, half
an hour before train time and waited pa
tiently TIL the last passenger and the last
wagon had come over, when she would
turn disappointed away, sometimes with
tears that she could not entirely conceal
At last a wagon came across, and in that
wagon a trunk, which she no sooner saw
than she dartcd forward with a wild cry,
looked into the wagon, and saw the body
of her husband, partially covered with a
blanket, and dropped to the ground. Sym
pathizing strangers crowded round offers
Of assistance were freely made, but all too
late; from that time to this she has been q
raving maniac. The explanation Of all
this is briefly as follows: She and her
husband had started for St Paul, he in adj
vanced consumption, with Just enough
money to get them here, in the vain hope
that he might get some light employment
which would enable them to subsist but
he had grown rapidly worse on the jour
ney; finally, he had been left at a point
some seventy miles below St Paul, unable
to travel further, while the lady, probably
forced to realize the fact that money here,
as elsewhere, is the one thing needful, had
come ON to this city and obtained work as
a seamstress and he after a while had at,
tempted to follow, and had Gied on the
train"

What Sleep win Cure.

The cry for rest has always been louder
than the cry for food Not that it is moro
important, but it is often harder to get.
The best rest comes from sound sleep. OF
two men or women otherwise equal, the
one who sleeps the best will be the most
moral, healthy and efficient.
Sleep will do much to cure irritability
of temper, peevishneSs, uneaSlnesS. 1t
will cure insanity 1t will restore to yigor
an oyerworked brain. twill build up and
make strong a weary body, 1t will do
much to cure dyspepsia, particularly that
variety known as nervous dyspepsia. 1t
will relieve the languor and prostration
felt by consumptiyes. II will cure hypo
chonaria. 1t viii cure the blues II win
cure the headache II will cure neuralgia.
1t viii cure broken spirit It will cure
sorrow. Indeed we might make long
list Of nervous maladieS that sleep viii

Why Washington Irving Never Married,

About the bachelorhood of Washington
Irving there always hung a cloud Of mys-
terry, which even his familiar acquaintance
tried in vain to dispel But the grave that
more gene lily hides than diScloses the
well kept secrets of lifetime, having just
closed over the late Miss Rebecca Graft, OF
this city--a Hebrew lady of exemplary
goodness, and who was noted for the great
ness of her bounty to all poor and needy
persons-we are Informed that she was
the occasion of lrying's single life. In re-
gard TO the matter correspondent OF the
JeiciSh Messenger writes
"Twcnty years ago heard the story, a
story that has long been current in Pnlla'
delphia in Jewish circles, among her
friends and acQaintanees, and which has
again been revived here since her death,
1t runs thus Many years ago, when Miss
Graft was young girl, Washington Irving,
then already risen in literary reputation,
came to Philadelphia, and became visitor
at the house OF her family 1t is said that
in youth she was very beautiful and very
good, and as her acquaintance with Irving
increased, the beauty OF both her charac.
ter and her features, together with the
fact that she was living representative OF
that nation whose whole history is
romance, so wrought upon his heart that
he became deeply enamored with her, 1t
is needless to say that, had his attachment
been never SO strong, with her strength ii
her faith. il would have been wasted. AS
il was, Ii was wasted Irving len the city,
but did not forget the lady OF his love.
But the romance does not end here, for
the correspondent SAYS that when Irving
met Sir Walter Scott abroad, he told him
the story OF his attachment to the beautiful
and good jewcsS OF Philadelphia. A. The
time, Scott was about to write the novel
of olyanhoe' and he was So impressed

Humboldt.

The following description of the APP
pearance Of Alexander Yea Humboldt is
from the pen of Bayard Taylor, who saw
him in November, 1856 three years before
his death 1t was at this interview, it is
said that Humboldt remarked that Mr.
Taylor Lad travelled farther and seen less
than any man he ever met:
AS | looked at the majestic old man,
the line Of Tennyson, describing Yelling
ton, came into my mind: Oh good gray
head, which all men knew The first i'm
preston made by IIumbOldt's face was
that of broad and GENIAL humanity. His
massive brow, heavy with the gathered
wisdom of nearly a century, bent forward
and oyerhung his breast like ripe ear of
corn but when you looked below it a pair
of clear eyes, almost as bright and steady
rs child's met your own, In these eyes
you read that trust in man, that immortal
youth Of the heart, which made the SHOWS
of eighty-seycn winters lie 50 lightly upon
his head. You trusted him utterly at the
first glance, and you felt that he would
trust you, if you were worthy of it.
had approached him with a natural feel
ing of reverence, but in five minutes
found that loved him, and could talk
with him as freely as with a friend of my
own age. His nose, mouth and chin had
the heavy Teutonic character, whose gen.
uine type always expresses an honest SIM
plicity and directness. His wrinkles were
few and small, and his skin had smooth
ness and delicacy rarely seen in old men,
His hair although snow white, was still
abundant, his step slow but firm, and his
manner active almost to restlessness. |
could not perceive that his memory, the
first mental faculty to snow decay, was at
all impaired He talked rapidly, and with
the greatest apparent ease, never hesitating
for word, whether in English or Ger
man. and, in fact, appeared to be unc0n-
scious which language he was using, as he
changed five or six times in the course of
the conversation.
"'You have Travelled much and seen
many ruins said Humboldt as he gave
me his hand now you have seen one
more Not Il ruin | could not help re-
plying, but a pyramid For pressed
the hand which had touched those of
Frederick the Great of Foster, the cham
pion Of Captain Cook, of Klopstock and
Schiller, Of Pitt Napoleon, Josephine,
the Marshals of the Empire, of Jefferson,
Hamilton, Weland, Herder, Eyettie Gu
vier, La Place, Guy Lussac, Beethoven,
Walter Scott-in short of every great man
whom Europe has produced in three-quar.

Several weeks ago number Of the
young people who reside in the neighbor-
hood of Savin Hill, in Dorchester, came
together and on the spur Of the moment
imprOviscd jumping match for a small
purse between Mike Flynn and young
man named Murphy. In this match Muir
ply was badly worsted, whereupon his
sister Kate, a bright, strong and sprightly
girl Of about twenty summers, became
very indignant, and gave out to her COM
panons that she could out, jump Mike
Flynn if her brother could not Katie
became very earnest in her reservations,
and to satisfy her a match was made for a
purse Of S75, and greatly to the surprise
of her friends when the match came off
she won it.
This greatly shamed the Flynn jumpist
and his friends, 50 Miss Kate was chal-
lenged to another contest, for 5000 side,
which came off at Sayin Hill yesterday
afternoon The affair attracted quite a
crowd to witness the sport, not less than
400 people being present. Kate made her
appearance dressed in flowing red flannel
drawers, Il III BlOomer, with white mCrino
skirt, and pair of pretty CATERS tightly
laced to her feet. Mr.. Flynn was dressed
neatly in the same manner. The ar
rangements being all completed the eXer-
cises began, Flynn leading off with leap
of 10 feet and inches Kate then took
her position, cheered on by her friends,
and made the leap, clearing a distance Of
10 feet 4 q inches This created great eX
element in the crowd, and neryed up
Katie for something still better The
second leap was called for, when Flynn
came up TO the scratch and cleared 10 feet
7 inches. This was a very long jump,
and the Flynn felt greatly encouraged
But Katie was again introduced, her friends
cheering and feeling confident that she
would beat Carefully she placed her lit
tie CATERS on the line, and, straining every
muscle in her well<nit frame, made the
leap, clearing 10 feet 024 inches. This
was too much for her competitor, and,
amid the plaudts of the whole company,
Katie retired with her purse of $500. As
this affair has created great excitement in
the neighborhood, it is possible that Katie
may be started for another match Boston
