An Ohio Giant.

A Cleveland paper relates number
OF anecdotes illustrative of the strength
and size of Abner McIlrath, whom it
dubs a giant. 1t appears that McIlrath
is " sixty-one years of age, and is six
feet seven and half inches standing
in his boots, fairly proportioned in
form, without pound of waste flesh.
He was and is giant in muscular
strength. He has lifted l ZOO pounds
of iron, and blow with his massive fist
and long arm is SO powerful that on one
occasion, when some twelve or fifteen
sailors went out to his place to "raise
a muss, " he thrashed the whole lot and
threw them one by one out of the door
just as one could throw so many babies,
and during that operation he dared not
double his fist for fear his blows might
prove fatal to some of the rowdies. He
formerly carried on the business of
cooper. and used to come to town with
his load of barrels. On one occasion,
while stopping at the Red Tavern"
latterly known as the "Jackson
House" and which is now torn down, a
snob from town, who was out there with
his turnout in the shape of a livery
horse and buggy, got into a difficulty
with Abe. and having insulted him in
some way or another, Abe resented it
by lifting the buggy rightup and strad
ding it across the fence, and then got
on his wagon and drove off to town,
whistling as though nothing was the
matter, and leaving the luckless wight
to get his buggy off the fence as best he
rould"

A Hero OF the Southwest,

Horace Z. Jones is n notable charac
ter in the Southwest. He is at present
official interpreter at Fort Sill.
Through him the officers of the Govern
ment at that post hold in ercourse with
the wild tribes of the plains. Perhaps
10 man living has more thorough
knowledge OF the language of the Com
anches than is possessed by Mr.. Jones'
Mr.. Jones was present at the massacre
at Old Fort Cobb, in 1861, where he
made very narrow escape from sharing
the fate of many others who bled on
that occasion.
During these troublous times Mr..
Jones passed through some terrible
experiences. On one occasion he found
himself suddenly surrounded by band
of some twenty-five savages, with lev
eled rifles aimed directly at him. The
night was dark and gloomy. There was
but an instant for thought, and that in
slant was improved by the imperilled
hero to extricate himself from his per-
ilous position. Quick as thought he
dropped upon the grass among the
brushwood, and propelled himself SER
pent-lke under the bushes. This ac-
ilOH loI luOlutlib uleCOilCtItcu Ills
wouldbe murderers, and, taking ad-
vantage of the confusion, he managed
to crawl under the brush until the op-
portunity to rise presented itself, when,
suddenly springing to his feet with the
swiftness of an alarmed deer, he fed,
and succeeded in eluding pursuit. On
another occasion he was pursued by
four well-armed Indians. The chances
of escape seemed small, but Jones new
er was known to lose his presence of
mind in the face of danger. Taking his
chances, he received a round from his
pursuers without harm, and then shot
one, reached a ravine skirted by timber,
and soon the only live Indian of the |
party was on his way back to disclose to
the band to which he belonged the fate
of his three comrades.

But NY Lady Disdain said, Mr.
Valmy, when we last met | spoke in {
manner which wounded you and shamed
me. | have learned TO be sorry for il
viii you forgive me? have suffered
much.
There was indeed deep mn melan,
choly expression on her face, such as he
had never seen it wear before,
/" Surely, Miss Ransome, when you
speak so kindly and ,arnestly, | must
forgive anything you may have said.
Let us speak of it no more.
"Nay, but l must speak of it a little
more. Have you changed since then,
Mr.. Valmy ?"
The blood rushed into the young
mans face. and he looked wildly, Won
deringly into hers to seek for the
true meaning of har qu stion lie saw
only strange, sweet expression there,
half timid, half encouraging.
Do you ask me out of mere cruelty,
Miss Ransome? How could change !?
The wound l have received shall carry
to the grave"
"Can l not heal the wound, Mr..
Valmy? For have changed since then
or, if | have not changed, / know my
true self at last"
Thus it was that My Lady Disdain
laid down her arms. having found her
heart. The process of conversion was
illogical, indeed, but there are times
and occasions when emotion is better
than logic. The corpse of the fisher
youth had taught her the first true les
son of life she had ever received, and
the lessons of life are lessons of love.

Gold and silver.


The public mind is specially in
tercsted just at present in regard tc
gold and silver coin. and the possible
resumption Of "specie payments.
Many of us have almost forgotten The
times when dollars, half and quarter
dollars, with smaller silver coin, and
possibly II sprinkling of gold pieces,
iingled in our purses-those old-fash-
ioned purses, which, being no tit recep.
tacle for greenbacks and paper currency,
are, perchance, laid away in some I'M
requented drawer, and may yet prove
useful. In view of this subie t'--as
lecturers and clergymen are ,customed
to say--a few items, taken in substance
from the annual report of the Director
Of the Mint for the fiscal year ending
with June last, may not be uninterest-
ing to our readers. The amount of
gold and silver deposits and purchases,
coins struck and stamped, and bars
manufactured during the year was as
follows Gold deposited, $50, 937, 400. :,
45; silver deposited, S12,307, ,3s9. 43 !;
total amount received and acted on,
S72 ,2i4, SlS.SS. Deducting deposits
made and issued by one institution and
deposited with another, the deposits
were, gold, S57, 70i, ,3S5. So; silver, So
1i5, ,32s 43 total, sos, $40, 714.3l. The
total number of gold and silver pieces
coined was 81, ,523, $40, having total
value of S3S, 639, lS3 The value of bars
of fine gold and silver manufactured,
and of imported gold and silver, amount.
ed to S27, ,5l7, ,530.61. Some idea of the
increase of operations may be obtained
by the statement that the coinage of
gold during the month of October APP
proximated in value $4,000, 900, the
States and Territories, being, as
general thing, in the Treasury and
banks. From the most reliable data
obtaiLablc at the present time, the gold
coin now in the country is estimated at
Sl35. 900, 900, and subsidiary silver,
$5, 5,O00 600; total, S14O,00O,000. The
silver coin is principally in circulation
in California, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho,
Arizona, and Texas. OF the coin now
in the Treasury, about $1,000, 900 will
need to be renovated. A much greater |
loss results. in process of time, from |
natural abrasion than would be gene
rally supposed and when large num-
Der of pieces are so worn as to be below |
the prescribed standard, it is necessary
that there should be a recoinage. 1t is
stated that there has not been a re-
coinage of gold in this country since
that which followed the change of
standard in 1884, and that in the very
large exports of coin since the suspen-
sion of specie payments in 1861, the un-
worn coin was selected for that purpose,
and the light or worn pieces excluded.
In the course of a few months it is
probable that the New Orleans Mint
viii be in a condition for coinage opera
tons and the new mint edifce which
las been for some time past in the
course of construction at San Francisco
$ nearly completed. 1t is now being
itted up with the necessary machinery
md apparatus, and, it is expected, will
,e finished by July, 1874. 1t is large
,uilding-though none too large for its
will doubtless be one of
he best appointed mints in the world.

Cash Instead of Credit.

If the lesson could be permanently
learned that the cash system is better
than the credit system, all the suffering
entailed by this monetary crisis would
not be dear price to pay for it.
People who buy for cash always buy
cheaper than those who buy on credit.
They buy, too, more closely, and select
more carefully.
Purchases which are paid for when
they are made are limited more exactly
to the purchasers wants. There is
nothing like having to count the money
right out when the article is bought to
make people economical. The amount
of Indebtedness Incurred is not much
considered when the payday is afar off.
Persons who do I'll their business on
a cash basis know just where they stand
and what they can afford. Consequently
they never find after-occasion for re-
GREETING, in turn of times, that they
have INDUCED in this luxury or that,
which they would have foregone had
they seen what was coming.
Real wants are few and can be graft
fed for cash. At all events, they should
always be limited to what can be paid
for in cash.
How much of anxiety, how many
sleepless hours, haw many heartburn
ings, disappointments, and regrets
would be avoided if this rule were
always strictly adhered TO.
