If you find man circulating malicious re-
ports about his neighbors, itsmay be set down
as an inevitable rule that such person is dis
honest Not only dishonest, bu, from his In
famous disposition, dangerous d ailwi,h whom
he is acquainted. He eircuis,es false impres.
sious, and sets people upon an erroneous course
of Judgment aud conduct inIespect to others,
which may he frequently rninous to the pros.
perity of others, 1t does general injury to
society more than TO the party slandered, as it
destroys confidence. The man who is guilty
of circulating malicious reports must neces,
sarilH be deceitful, aud therefore, dishonest;
he must he abandoned to every principal of
moral feeling. In ancient times when a man
was convicted of being slauderer, he was
stoned to death as being danger and a curse
to the whole community In modern times
there is even a better remedy than this--i.i is
to cease alleassociations with such characters.
Treat them IKE lspsrs, abandon them 10 their
own kind, which is.a social deatb, one by.
which they serve as an example to Others
This rule is observed by allinteligent people,

THE True American Monetary Sys-
tem"-"It will Liquidate the Public
Debt without Taxes.D

In the preceding quotation having sub.
mitted the true American Monetary Sys-
tenn" | promised to follow it up and show ,i,a.
among other advantages it would paw off the,
public debt without taxes / proceed now To
quote the argument of the address to that
claim:
The first questiorjto be considered in treat
ing this branch of ti,e subject is the rate of:
interest the gnvernIssni bonds should bear.s
LIN determining tlsi qdcstinrf, we must not
conhne ourselves its effects as applicable to
the national debt, apart from its Influence on
the general business interests of the country.
The government bonds bearing lien on all
the property in the nation as we'll as the most
convenient form of investment, the rate on
them will necessarily beisomewhat below the
average rate on other investments; but when
they are convertible into lawful money, and
the money interchangeable for bonds at the
pleasure of the holders,it will to a great ex.
tent regulate the rate in all Legitimate busi>
ness transactions by the law of supply and
demand. 1t is therefore of the highest im>
portance that the rate of interest established
on the bonds be such aswil effect the equita-
Bile distribution of the products of industry
and enterprise between capital and labor.
''All interest paid for the use of money
national, State, county or town bonds, bank
dividends. or for any purpose whatever-must
in the end be borne by labor, and is as much
charge on labor as the taxes paid for the
support of Government When the rate ex-
ceeds the aggregate rate of increase in the
national wealth. the inevitable result is to CEN
tralize the wealth properly in the hands of
the few non-prodncers, land to impoveriA aud
degrade the ,oe"1M producing classes"
The Governmens is bound to institute
money so that it shall distribute products to
non producing capital and productive industry
according to the service or labor performed in
their production. Therefore all interest paid
beyond such just rate swill effect the equita>
BILE distribution of products and property be
tween capital and labor is leynl;zed troua
on the producing classes. But the question
may be asked, how are we t. determine the
true rate of interest? Happily, we are not
without sufficiently reliable data for all prac-
tical purposes. Agriculture is the leo7in1
interest and .founaMioa of nat,onal wealth.
The increase in this important branch of in
dus'ry may, then. be taken as the true index
In all other departments and the division he
tween l"ndI"r'l and tenant adopted as the
rule of distribution between capital and labor
in all other hrsnches, Of productive industry"

Domestic Tragedy at virginia City.


The Gold Hill, (Cal.,) Netos, of June
Goth, contains the following account of
terrible tragedy:
One of the most shocking tragedies
ever known in this section occurred
shortly after three o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, at the house of Mrs. Baker.
corner of III. and Taylor streets, Vir-
GINA. Roger Ryan, who, with his wife,
was stopping there, in fit Of dissipa-
ton or insanity shot and killed her and
then shot and killed himself, both dying
Immediately. They came from San
Jose, California, about five months ago,
and for time kept the lodging rooms
on b street, over Derby 81 Gearhearts
stables. Becoming involved in debt, it
is said, through his gambling propensi-
ties, they were obliged TO leave the
rooms, and she was employed at sewing
for Mrs Baker at the time of the trag-
edy. His character for industry or any
thing of the kind is not good and he is
said to have eXtorted every cent she
could earn from her, by threats and
otherwise, until she declared she could
not live with him any longer, and that
she would procure a divorce. He
threatened to kill her if she did, and this
together with losses at gambling, ap-
pears to have impelled him to the last
fearful act. Whether she was to blame
in the matter or not, we are not prepared
tp say, neither is it necessary to state
now. Both are beyond the jurisdiction
of any earthly tribunal or worldly cen
sure. He left two letters, showing in
tense jealousy existing on his part of
certain persons mentioned, and that this
terrible deed was fully premeditated.
Quite frequently of late he has threaten
eel to commit suicide, once no longer
ago than yesterday morning in Gold
Hill, and was evidently in a state border
ing upon insanity.
They were heard talking in the room
Just previous to the tragedy, and she
was heard to say that she never could
again live with him. Shortly afterward
four shots were fired The room was
entered shortly after, and both lay dead
upon the floor, he having fallen across
her body; and great pools Of blood were
around them. She was shot through the
head, the ball entering just above the
right eye, and also the right hand and
thigh, as though she had grasped the
muZzle of the pistol, and turned it
downward, in her struggle for life.
Marks on hef head also Indicated jLkat ne
had struck her with the pistol. After
killing her, he evidently placed the wea-
pom to the middle Of his forehead, and
fired.
He was somewhat over forty years Of
age, and native Of Troy, New York.
4 gentleman who knew him in Califor-
MIA, in 1852, says that his real name was
Ram, not Ryan, and that he had a wife
living in Taunton, Mass, where lie had
a daughter who would be over q years
of age at the present time. He had been
married to the unfortunate woman he
killed about twelve years, living most Of
the time unhappily. She was about
IS years of age, and is highly spoken Of
by those who knew her here

HOW to Treat ord Rose Bushes.

Never give up dccaying rose bush
until you have tried watering it two OF
three times a week with SCOT tea. Make
the tea from SCOT taken from the CHM
ncy or stove in which wood Is burned.
When cold, water the bush with it,
When it is used up pour boiling water
on the SCOT a second time. Rose bushes
treated in this way will quickly send ont
thrifty shoots. and the leaves viii become
large and thick, and the blossoms viii
greatly improve in size and be more
richly tinted than before.
