salient feature is loss In legal tenders OF over four

giving any satisfactory explanation OF the de-
crease The Western papers report little better de-
mand for money their chief cities but not enough

revenue taxes, as Wen the sale OF two millions OF

these causes have doubtless operated to withdraw
some OF the legal tenders 1t is well known
that payment in both instances may be and
has been generally made in national bank notes.
The true explanation probably lies In the specuating

where severe struggle is in progress between the

The Judgments OF Women.

An eminent minister Of the church.
once made this fine observation: ave
will says nothing of the way 10 which
that sex usually conduct arguments but
the intuitive judgments of women are
often more to be relied upon than conclu-
siOns which we reach by an elaborate pro-
cess cf reasoning. No man that has an
intelligent wife, or is accustomed to the
society of educated women, will dispute
this. Times without number you must
have known them to decide questions on
the instant, and with unerring accuracy,
which you had been poring over for hours,
perhaps with no other result than TO find
yourself getting deeper and deeper into
the tangled maze of difficulties. 1t were
hardly generous to allege that they
achieved these feats less by reasoning than
sort Of sagacity that approximates to
the sure instincts of the animal races (;
and yet there seems to be some ground for
the remark of witty French writer, that
when a man has teiled, step by step, up
flight of stairs, be viii lie sure to find a
woman at the top; but she will not be
able to tell how she got there. How she
got. there, however, is of little moment.
If the conclusions woman has reached
are sound, that is all that concerns US.
And that they are very apt to be sound on
the practical matters Of domestic and
secular life, nothing but prejudice and
selt-conceit can prevent Us from acknowl-
edging. The inference, therefore, is I'M
avoidable, that the man who thinks it be-
meath his dignity 10 take counsel with an
intelligent wife, stands in his own light,
and betrays that lack of judgment which
he tacitly attributes to her"
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1869-01-21

THE first case under the Massachusetts,
statute of 1867, relating TO the schooling
and hours of children employed in manu-
factories, was tried in Salem recently.
Two complaints were made against the
overseers Of the Naumkeag cotton mills
for employing boy and girl, between the
ages OF l0 and ID years, who had not at
terded school during the year Judgment
of guilty was rendered If both cases but
the defendants appealed the matter to the
Superior Court.
THE New York Society for the Proven
ton of Gambling received, during the
year 1868 $23 $40, and expended $23, 1885,
The number of employees reported as hav-
ing frequented gambling houses is 1,034.
The number of public gambling houses
claimed TO have been closed during the
year through the workings Of the assOcia-
ton is 81. The object of the association,
as set forth II the report, is to moderate
and place a check upon the great and
growing evil of gambling, while 1t con-
fesses its inability to put a stop to the
practice, per sc.
MANY persons suppose that rock-salt
is dug out of the mines in substantially
the same condition that it is put into the
nidIhee, Dut tillS Is hOt 80. Inc nldSSes
of salt are broken up and dissolved in
water. The solution is then evapOrated,
and the salt removed as it crystalizes. BY
this means, the impurities. consisting, for
the most part, of oxide Of iron and vari
Gus earths, are removed. and the salt is
rendered fit for use. The greatest salt
mine in the world is at Cracow, in Poland,
where the impure salt is taken out in huge
blocks, broken from its place in the mine
by the use of wedges and sledge hammers.

taken in the same manner in the ordinary
writing. But then, it is true that a good
reporter should be able to write out his
notes when they are old; as an amusing
friend Of mine expresses it, reporters
should be able to write out a thing after
it gets cold" Very few possess this desira-
bic qualification Only great experience
and constant practice in the art of report
ing will enable reporter to correctly
write out notes long after they have been
taken.
You can generally tell reporter by his
looks snd manners. OF course he has a
quick eye, being always on the lookout for
news, or sensation" and like Micawber,
waiting for something to turn up
oftentimes in double sense. He has only
limited supply of money in the very best
of times-mOre often none at all. You
never heard of a reporter who lived in a
mansion, unless in the direction of the
skies, otherwise a garnet or building a
private theatre, fOr owning race-horse, or
having a brown stone house or q gold
watch presented to him; or investing in
lots near Central Park; nor would you
expect him to make a magnificent endow-
meat to college or seminary. He does
not dress very well-in fact looks shabby,
because he is poorly paddles probably,
according to the amount of work he does,
than persons in any other business or pro-
fession in New York A journalist who
generally had pretty seedy appearance
tells this story of himself al went
to the drugstore early one morning
for a dose of morphine for sick friend.
The nightcler objected to give it to me
without the prescription, evidently fear
ing | meant to destroy myself. Pshaw,
said L, do look like a man who would
kill himself?' Gazing at me steadily for
half minute, he replied, don't know.
Seems to me if looked like you should
be greatly tempted to kill myself"
