He Didn't Blame the Book.

Girswold, the Fat Contributor, in his
last letter from New England to the Gin.
cinnati Times, finds opportunity to give
another incident which occurred here
abouts once on time:
Mott Crane, an eccentric old farmer in
Westmoreland, N. Y, had reared fine
colt with much care, and was urged by
his neighbors to take him to the Oneida
County Fair, they representing that the
colt would assuredly take the first premi,
UNI. He finally yielded to their repeated
urgings and took his colt to the fair. lie
spent some days there, cha6ng somewhat
at the expense. The colt was much adj
mired, and Motifs expectations ran high.
He felt obliged to return home before the
premiums were announced, and that neces-
STATED another trip to Rome, where the
"Board'' met, to ascertain the result.
"Your colt" announced the Secretary,
with solemnity BETTING an officer Of
the Oneida County Board of Agriculture,
''your colt, sir, has drawn premium"
81 know it," said Crane, rubbing his
hands, "best colt on the grounds
"The Board" continued the Secretary,
without needing his ecstasies, shave
awarded you, as q premium, this volume
of the Transactions of the Oneida County
Board of Agriculture, handing him a
paper-bound pamphlet of considerable
thickness and heft. Cranes countenance
fell. lie received the book mechanically,
considered it moment, and, laying it
down softly on the Secretary's desk, turn
,, ed silently to depart.
'But amt you going to take the book ~
cried the Secretary.
NO." said Crane, turning and cycling
the volume with forgiving pity, II don'l
blame the book any l don't think the
book is to blame" And so he went.

BLAIRsrowN, Iowa, January LIST, 1870.
There il good deal of excitement in
this town this morning occasoned by the
circumstance of one man having stabbed

We are inclined to agree with IIaz,ett
when he said, "Death cancels every thing
but truth" But looking at the eulogies
of journalism over the lifeless remains Of
Brady and Raymond, we must conclude
that death cancels truth also.
What one of the newspapers had the
courage to speak ont and tell the world
the truth as to the cause of James T..
Brady's death? lie was in many respects
a magnificent man. He was handsome,
witty, acute, brilliant. graceful and &C.
cvmplished; but at the meridian Of his
career, in the fullness of his splendid
powers, he fell to the earth, as if assassin
uted.
Yes, he was assassinated! But who
was faithful enough to the public to name
the assassin? for, in addition to over
work, he was slain by intempcrance and
RIGHTEOUSNESS. Ambition, pride, will and
the logical way in which God had made
his body, kept him up SO long, while his
own evil habits were secretly eating away
his life.
Should not this be known? Is there
not an awful warning from such career,
which the young men have right to
Docs not that shallow delicacy which gags
the mouth in presence Of such fact com.
init robbery on the public?
No other death has occurred for long
time which has called forth such unani.
nous tributes of praise as the death OF
Henry j. Raymond. His elegies have
been eulogies. The song of death has
been shout of victory. The dirge has

to his good and great qualities. The
measure Of his praise has been heapcd up,
and is running over. Bat what public
speaker, what journalist has dared to tell
the whole truth about Mr.. Raymond

The Currency.

The Currency.
The currency question seems to be
supremely perplexing to our great men
and our little men alike. Scarcely any
two opinions coincide touching the future
action of Congress thereon. One wants
an exclusive greenback circulation, with
tho national banks all closed up. Anoth-
er wants the national banking system ex-
tended 80 as to meet all demands without
greenbacks. Another still wants Con-
gress to compel return at once to spe>
Gle basis; and yet another wants a grad
ual contraction of the currency
of the country until specie res
sumption shall, Hereunder, become a
necessity. Amidst this worse than babel
of opinions and notions, the best interests
Of the country are likely to receive great
damage.
This perpetual tinkering with the cur
rency has already withdrawn from the
channels of commerce large and much
needed supply of the circulating medium
Of the country, causing stagnation, de-
preston, and general dissrust. This
should not be. So far as government has
any agency in effecting the supply of
money demanded by o healthy and vigor-
GUS commercial activity all over the coun-
try, it should exert that agency for, and
not against, the general welfare.
That there is now too little money in cir
culation is apparent to the commonest
observer. That the government is re-
spousible, largely, for this state of things
is also apparent to all thinking men. Let
us have supply of currency equal to the
demand. Instead of needing less and
less, we need more and more as we ad-
vance. Since the war we have opened up
almost continent, both south and west,
in each Of which sections the healthy de-
mand for more money increases day by
day instead of which we are given less
every day until it has become to be diff.
cult, if not impossible, for large class of
interests to obtain proper and necessary
supply. We say to Congress, do the best
thing you can devise, at once. If it must
be all grecnbacks, or all national bank
currency, or half and half, or speedy or
tardy resumption of specie payment, let
it be done with promptness and certainty,
so that the commercial pulse can beat
with con6ding uniformity for twelve
month at least; and in whatsoever d.
rectioA yeu turn, give US enough currency
to carry on all the legitimate branches Of
eur extensive and multiform trade and
commerce.-Lacon (Iu.) Journal (Rcp.)

whereupon he inquired, very humbly,

A German, Englishman and Yankee
were in company. The two former were

ever capped the climax by saying that

ALIsxA.-Gray hairs are honorable-so
we have read and heard from boyhood
days; and yet no one, man or woman,
seems to desire the honor of gray hairs.
Badness, too, is the dread of all who are
threatened that way, and every effort is
resorted to, to avoid it. Seward & Ben
tlcy's Alisma for the hair is said to be a
capital preventive of either, and that il
restores the hair to healthy condition
and to its original cslor.

the smalness of the vote. heavy snow

The municipal elections in Ohio resulted

Toledo, Lima, Massilon, and. in fact, near
| ly every inl ort:rt town in the State, give
the usual Republican majorities.
One of the glorious results of the Cincir

This man did more than any other member

properly rebuked him. He ran far behind

proves that Cincinnati is sound morally, as
well as politically.
At the election for School Commissioners
in Wilmington, Delaware, last week, the
Republicans elected II, and the Democrats
but 4. This is very gratifying result, in
