Uniform Coinage. weights. and
MPAAUreR.

The New York shipping List says;
Since the affairs Of widely separated Sec
tions of the world have been brought
into close relationship, through the agen-
cy Of steam and the electric telegraph.
the necessity for the adoption Of an inter
national system OF coinage, weights. and
measures, has come to be pretty general
" recognized by the thinking men OF
all nations. Such a sytem would present
incalculable advantages. 1t would facili
tate education as we'll as commerce, tend
to repress fraud, and save a great waste
Of time-a change Of that would benefit
hundreds Of millions, and possibly the
whole human race for successive ages.
With such 4 universal system, nations
would almsst cease to lie Strangers to each
other.
The trade of all nations is more or less
hindered by their coinage. Leaving out
the coinage OF our own country, which
is at present for the most part demone
tized. let US glance at that Of the lending
foreign countries. England with all her
commerce has 20 decimal currency, but
deals in pounds. shillings, and pence.
France has decimal currency, and the
franc is popular everywhere. but it is too
small for gold coin, and gold superccdes
silver. The ten frac and twenty fame
gold pieces are widely circulated, but in
Germany we find the thalcr, in Russia
the rouble, in Spain the doubloon, in
Italy the lire or the old ducat of Venice,
in Brazil the milrea, at Vera Cruz the
Mexican dollar, in India the rupee, and
in Chipa. at the antipodes, or end of the
world, the tael is the basis Of curruncy.

The cause OF yellow Fever.

1t is claimed that very satisfactory
progress has been made by scientific men
in their Investigations with regard 20 the
origin and nature of that mysterious epi-
demic. yellow fever The health officer
of the port of Charleston, 5. C.. has Just
made report upon the subject, and his
theory. it is believed, will attract general
attention. This theory is, that the dis
ease is not imported, but owes its cause
to the putrefyiDg organic. matter which
is in great part concealed in the porous,
sandy soil upon which the city stands.
This doctrine is supported by long and
powerful series of facts and arguments,
and points to effective sewerage as one of
the means for removing the cause.
The scourge is shown to be constantly
retreatiDg towards the equator. 1t has
not been known in New York for many
years, and its virulence on the Atlantic
seaboard has steadily declined, and its
entire disappearance is now calculated
upon with scientific certainty.
1t is believed that within the next ten
years the city of New Orleans will be
effectually clear of it, Should this be
the case, that city will be relieved Of the
most formidable obstacle to its growth.

Liberal Republican Movement
In FNentucs&y.

Gen. Runkle, Gen. Burbridge. VIM. S.
Rankin and other veteran Republicans of
Kentucky, have issued call for Lib
eral State convention to meetjn Coving-
ton, April 80, with the view Or acting in
concert with the Cincinnati convention,
which meets on the following day. The
call proceeds
In making this call, we deem it proper
to solemnly disavow the encouragement
of any movement designedly leading to
the Reorganization of the Republican
party. 1t is our sincere desire to act
within that organization. The principal
object of the Cincinnati convention, as
we understand it to be, is to earnestly
protest against the denomination of Pres
ident Grant. To that end we are willing
to exhaust argument, persuasion, and
entreaty, for we regard his reuomiDa 'iou
sane emiuenty unfit to be made aud.
if made, we have no hesitation in declar.
ing that we will not be bound By it. The
nomination Of any other good Republi
can, upon 4 platform of economy, hon
esty, reform and amnesty, might be sus-
tanned by US; but we wish it to be dis
tinctly understood that unless such prin
ciples are announced as our basis of fu-
ture political action, with a candidate in
whom we have confidence, our co-opera
ton is not to be counted upon. We have
no confidence in President Grant and
only in the alternative of choosing be
tween him. aud Democratic candidate
still more obnoxious, would We consent
to vote for him.
1t would, in our judgment, be the
wisest policy of the Ciuciunt meeting
to forbear placing a ticket il the field;
and issue an address to the American
people setting forth reasons for object
ing to the denomination Of President
Grant, with the declaration Of an unal-
terabe determination to oppose his re
election. If the Philadelphia couyen-
tion, in the face Of so respectable and so
Just remon>trauce, sees fit 10 yield to
the clamor of Office holders, and persists
in making the denomination, upon it the
of the consequences must
rest In such an event, provision should
be made for the calling of a delegated
to assemble As soon thereaf-
ter as practicable, to nominate another
candidate.

Prof norse,s Career as an Artist.

Samuel Finley Breese Morse is strk
ing example of the hereditary descent of
talent, and of the versatility, of genius
His father, the Rev Jedediaf Morse, d.
D.. of Charlestown, Mass, was famous
in his day as a geographer, and as a theo-
logian and religious coutroversialist
while his son began life as a painter and
sculptor, and would have attained great
eminence in art had he not been won
away by the superior attractions of sci
ence. After graduating al Yale college
in 1910 he went to England, where he
studied painting under Benjamin West
Three years later the duke of Norfolk
was so pleased with his first attempt at
sculpture, a model Of the Dying Hercules,
that he gave him gold medal. Mr..
Morse returned to the United States in
1915, and was a successful painter, his
portraits being very popular. Nine or
ten years later, in company with other
New York ARTISTS, he laid the founda-
tions of the institution which is now
known as the National Academy of De
sign. He was its first president, and re-
tained the position for sixteen years.

New YORK, April Philadelphia
papers have details of the terrible iDju
ries sustained yesterday afternoon by
Joseph Whittle, lion tanner in o Brien's
circus About p. N Whittle entered
the cage of strange lion and commenced
the training exercise, and soon proceeded
10 insert his head in the animals mouth.
Suddenly the lion roared and closed its
jaws upon the man. He screamed with
agony, and blood spurted from his wounds
and trickled from the mouth of the beast,
whe still maintained his deadly grasp.
Whittle used his performing whip with
all the energy left him, and lashed the
lion until it released its hold and slunk
into coruer Of its den, where it lay
licking its lips aud growing. BY this
time another attache had seized fork
used in training the elephant, and ran to
Whittle's assistance. This was an op
portunity for his escape; but the trainer

Luck and Labor.

Two boys left their country home tC
seek their fortunes in the city. 81 shall
see what luck shall do for me, cried the
other. Which is the best to depend up
on. luck or labor? Let us see. Luck
is always waiting for something to turn
up. Labor will turn up something.
Luck lies abed wishing. Labor jumps
mn at six o'clock, and with busy pen or
ringing hammer lays foundation of a
competence, Luck whines. Labor whis-
Ties Luck relies on chances. Labor
on character. Luck slides down to in
dolence. Labor strides upward to inde-
pendence. Which is like to do the most

Our Secretary of The Treasury.

Our Secretary OF The Treasury.
Mr Boutwell, does not compare very
favorably with the English Chancellor Of
the Exchequer, Mr.. Lowe. In making
his estimates of the expenses of the Gov
ernment for 1870 II, the result has prov
ed that Mr. Boutwell, fell short of the
actual expenditure twenty-five millions,
while Mr. Lowe saved FIVE millions on
his. Again, Mr.. Lowe estimated a year
ago that the revenue receipts for the
year would be 1851 575, 900 They were
1870 100000 a difference of less than
$4,000, 900 Mr.. Boutwell, estimated
S32O,418 600 for the same period, and
got 1888, ,323, ,944, A difference of S63,-
10000, like this, shows that the esti-
mate was sheer guess work.

Miss Middle Morgan. Of the New

From the New York World, March 3l.J
Miss Middle Morgan, of the Times,
has been widely photographed. The
following sketch for a Cincinnati paper
gives fair idea of this phenomenon
1t is now some two years since the Of
fee of the Tribune was assaied. one ine
morning, by what appeared very much
like a wild Irish girl. She applied TO
the meek faced Horace for a position on
the staff Of the moral Tribune. She
talked horses to Horace. She amazed
him by the scope of her equine knowl-
edge, but twas no go. Horace didn't
want horse editreSs. She then entered
into discussion with the farmcr-editor
on the subject of carrots aud cubbages.
Horace admitted that she had wouder-
ful knowledge of agricultural subjects,
but preferred to be his own editor in that
department Failing to gain the post
ton she sought on the Trita0ie. the la
dy's yDxandytsr Filters as st1nra-
here she has remained ever since. IT,
department includes the reporting of all
the races aud cattle shows throughout
the country, and she is always to be met
at these places 1t is curious sight to
see, moving about among the sporting
men and reporters, the strapping form
of Middle Morgan But she is not out
of place, if knowledge Of subject eau
capacitate one for place. She knows
more about horses aud their diseases than
nine tenths of the professional horsemen
in the county Middle, although a gi-
antess in form, has most amiable aud
pleasing face, aud is every inch the real
lady. She has the one fault that seems to
permeat the entire feminine genus. She
will talk, and her conversation is often
times voluminous, but then she is always
so thoroughly good natursd that one
never gets tired Of her tattle. She Is
known aud heartily welcomed at every
race-course in the country, aud her re-
ports of the contests IN the turf in no
wise fall behind those of her sterner CO.

DEAR SIR: II am informed that on
the night of the 2Sth of February last,
my wife gave birth to boy child |
was born in the county of Hickman, and
have always entertained aud cherished
for her and her people, the warmest at
fection. The people have been to me,
in kindness aud goodness, more than
friends; they have ever evinced for me
the affection of fathers aud mothers. sis
ters and brothers. They took me up in
my youth and by a generous confidence
and kindly encouragement, did all IN
their power to make me a useful man.
they melted in me 4 hope a laudable)
ambition and have with the same kind
ness and goodness constantly labored to
crafty that ambition, and although [ am
conscious of having fallen far below the
standard OF usefulness their generosity
set up for me, yet all [ have attained is
attributable to the friendly partiality and
undertaking support l have received at
their hands, and as an humble and poor
recompense for these manifold fayors.
whatever capacity l may have shall be
sedulously devoted to the common good,
to the salvation of our Republican in
stitutions, and the perpetuation of free
dom for ourselves and our children. And
although hundreds of milesR away from
them, feel for them the most profound
gratitude, aud desiring in some way to
manifest my gratitude to the people aud
my veneration and love for the county, |
have named my unseen son, Hickman
