Are the Daily Reports OF the Secretary
Of the Treasury Strictly Correctf
NEW YORK, July Is, 1879
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
For over twenty years 1 have been a constant
reader OF the HERALD, regarding 1t always as
reliable source OF information all subjects o
public interest, among which none has attracted
more serious and general attention than those
which have recently appeared in its editorial and
financial columns relating to the gold reserve in
the United states Treasury as compared with its
outstanding obligations.
This question comes nearer home to the business
interests and welfare Of the American people than
any other which now occupy their attention !;
for upon 1t depends the future purchasing power
of the entire currency OF the country, on which
nearly all contracts are based.
With these impressions firmly fixed on my mind,
imagine my surprise on reading IN one OF the morn
lug Journals Of this date severe and, to my mind,
tmpertinent criticism on the efforts now being
made to obtain information on this all important
subject.
the author OF the article above alluded to, after
sneering Mt all who dilfer with him In his (appa-
rent) belief in the statements OF the Secretary Of
the Treasury goes to insult the Intelligence Of
tne American people by haunting the figures daily
put, forth that :sc:e are sSo,ooo,ooo or
the only claims are the outstanding certificates,
amounting to $i3, 600 600. endcavoring thereby to
convey the Impression lon taat the government is the
Ld!.or, desire to call attention to the statement
OF the secretary as published on the LIST day OF
May, together with his known receipts aud expen-
ditures from that time until the present, and then
to invite your attention to the peculiar phase OF
Official character that can put forward such
statement be.oTe our toe condding American
people.

HOMES reR W0RKIyGMEx.

When q Young man marries, or expects
to enter the matrimonial state, one of the
first things demanding his attention should
be- the necessity of home; and not a
rented home, but home where every inn
movement he makes to his house, every
tree or shrub he plants. shall be his own.
Much has been said and done toward the
accomplishment of this end; but our peo-
pie have not thought enough on this sub
ject. They have not made calculations
proving to themselves how much might be
saved tor that purpose. Many men drink
enough, the expense of which, if added to
the time lost in taking it, and in talking to
others while doing so, would in lew
wears build them home of their own,
where the wife and child would rejoice
around their own freside, and cultivate
the roses and other flowers that dispense
daily fragrance around the homes even oil
the most humble, where they are made to
bloom. There is pleasure in saying
This is my house; this is my homestead
It II not in my assets, and If fail in bust
ness my creditors cannot turn my wife and
children out OF house and home. They
have no right to expect the house to go foi
nv debts. have provided for such an
emergency II the man OF business
should be paralyzed or otherwise disabled
or should die, his wife and little ones have
q home that will embalm the memory Of
the husband and father in the hearts OF tht
wife and children.

LONDON, May 26th, 1873.
Dear .advcrtiSer: Having determined
to spend ten days or fortnight in Lon
don on my way home, / have not hur-
ried 10 see the ancient city thoroughly
on this occasion. In fact have as yet
visited but three of the great objects Of
historic intcrcst--Westnin Abbey,
the Parliament House, and the Tower.
OF Westminster Abbey, the most as
tounding feature is the noble building
itself-indescribably noble and grand,
with its wonderful aisfes, arches, toubs,
organ, and forests of magnificent COL
umns. I spent an hour in the "Poet's
Corncr'-listening in the meantime to
the soaring sounds of the great organ and
beautiful choral service-and visited the
tombs of Shakespeare, chaucer, Dryden,
Butler, Ben Johnson, Cowley, Campbell,
Dickens and Bulwer. "Poet's Corner,
is one of the "free'' parts of the Abbey,
where stranger may wander to and fro
without money and without price. But
money must be paid tvery little howev-
er) to explore the Royal Chapels and see
the tombs of the Kings. Foremost among
these chapels is that of Henry VII,
where, besides, the magnificent tomb OF
the founder, and of Queen Elizabeth and
Mary Queen of Scots, are to be seen the
famous banners of the old Knights of the
Bath In the Chapel of Edward the Con-
fessor are the tombs Of the founder, Of
Edward I, Henry V, and other warrior
kings; and the weapons carried bysome
of them; and the Coronation Chair in
which every sovereign of England since
William the Conqueror has been crown
ed. did not leave Westminster Abbey
! without viewing, with great Interest, the
tombs of Pitt, Fox, and Florence Night
ingale. 2-si'f
spent some hours also in inspecting
the House of Parliament building West
minister Palace which is another OF the
vast and gorgeous piles for which Lon
don is famous The Parliament was not
in session,
NV third excursion was to the re-
nowned and gloomy Flower of London, .
which stands on the thames near g Lon
don Bridge Here 1 entered ct the
"Traitors Gate," where, in former days,
the accused were landed from boats on
the river. Among .lle ponts OF interest
here are the room in Which the two prin-
ccS were murdered by order Of Richard
III; the horse Armory with equestrian
ciligies of many of the sovereigns OF
England; Queen Elizabeth Armory, IN
the same tower where Sir Walter Raleigh
was SO long conf ped7zard the fatal axe
and block by mlea,rs Of which have fallen
50 many illustrious heads; the Jewel
Tower, where the Royal Crown, Sccptre

Tower. with its vast collections of ancient
and modern arnlor, representing more
than eight hundred years OF Englisi
history.
