Wells undertook to lecture where he
should have been content to collect

his fairness and candor: He is con-
fronted by the awkward fact that the
Savings Banks of Massachusetts, had
a large increase of deposits between
1860 and 1867, whereas he wanted to
prove that the Laboring Glass were
less fairly recon,pensed under Pro-
lection than they had been under
Free Trade. What is he to do? Why,
he tells US that the currency is so de-
preciated in 1868 that the Ninety
Millions in the Savings Banks in
1867 are not equal to the Seventy.

Very well: The premium on Gold
had fallen, next year, from so (or
thereabout) to Is; and now, accord

Savings Banks were Twenty Millions
richer than they had been the year
before; but this didn't appear in Mr..
Wells report. We instance this only

ANECDOTES OF CARLYLE.--Thec GU
rious and troublesome" style OF
Carlyle is said to be quite in con-
trast with his simple, straightforward
way OF talking. Hatred Of sham IS
one of his notable characteristics.
One evening, at a small literary
gathering, a lady, famous for her
.'muslin theology" was bewailingg.;
the wickedness Of the Jews in not re-
ceiving our Saviour, and ended her
diatribe by expressing regret that
He had not appeared in her own
time. s'How delighted" sail she,
s.wc should all be to throw our doors
open to Him, and listen to His d.
vine precepts! Don't you think so,
Mr.. Carlyle?"
The sturdy philosopher, thus ap-
pealed to, said, in his broad Scotch,
No, madam, don't. l think that,
had he come very fashionably dressed,
with plenty of money, and preaching
doctrines palatable to the higher or
ders, might have had the honor of
receivisg from you card OF invita-
ton, on the back Of which would be
written, TO meet our Saviour;" but
if he come uttcring His sublime pre-
cepts, and denouncing the Pharisees,
and assoeiating with the Publicans
and lower orders, as He did, you
woulti have treated Him much as the
Jews dill, and have cried out, "Takc
Him to Ncwgate and hang him.
On another occasion, when Ernest
Jones, well-known Chartist leader,
was haranguing, IN his violent man.
ner, against the established authori-
ties, Carlyle shook his head, and told
him that, chad the Chartist leaders

first was, "He will never set the

the seive used in sitting the -four at
a mill is so called in Yorkshire; and
it has occasionally happened that
combustion has been caused by the
hard and constant friction OF the
iron rim Of the tense against the
four-barrels rim. The word has

The Detroit Post is simply untruthful in
saying that The Chicago Evening Post re.
joiced over the defeat Of Gen. Schenck. And
the Detroit Post is not herein untruthful
by mistake, either.-Chicago Post, Oct. 20
The Chicago Post Indignantly denied that
it is rejoiced at the defeat of Schenck. OF
course it is not rejoiccd The Post has re-
pcatedly represented Schenck as repre-.
sentive Of robbers and plnnderers, and be-
ing thcrhoughly Radical, The Post will not
stultify itself BY rejoicing at Schcnck's de-
feat.-Dubuque Herald.

peat:dly represented Schenck-and correct
~ represented him Ito be one Of the tools
Of "robbers ana plunderers' in the shape
Of Protective Prohibitienists-yc We CON
sistently regret his defeat mildly, I because
the person elected in his place has always
been vigorous tool Of the same s'robbcrs

tool Of demagogues and traitors. Chicago

Very lew candid persons can read
the remarks OF the Post on the de-

very mild and only Tor the sake OF
consistency.
