final action concerning the majority re-
port Of the committee on specie pay

the force Of circumstances; second, that
the redemption Of United States legal
tender notes commence on the fourth

third. that provision he made for fund

rhe smokers, MlIIennium

The golden age of the smokers para

landed upon the sacred soil of Virginia
a German-a fact which, taken by itself,
might not appear a very startling propo.
sition, because Germans have arrived
before, and may in all probability arrive
again. This is professor, and his mis-
sion is to lay tobacco smoke in houses

smoke the calumet beneath his own vine
and fig tree, none making him afraid.
The millennium of smoke approaches.
Death to matrimony. The modus ope-
randi is thps-vise: The tobacco is burned
in large retorts, and the smoke passes
through pipes to Q large receptacle of
boiler iron, whore it will be cooked, puri-
fed and so scented that IL will have the
favor of the finest Havana cigar.
From the smokometer a main pipe
will lead up into the city, and
from this will be run small branch
pipes leading to all the principal houses
in town. A meter will gauge the guam
tity, Just like gas. In each room there

Rur,her particulars of the Loss OF
she sieamship Vile dn Havre.

New YoRk, December 3.-The Her
AIDS London special, dated the I'd, gives
the following additional particulars con-
corning the loss Of the Vile du Havre'
Eleven survivors Of the steamer Vile
du Havre have left for Paris. During
their stay in London they we're made
comfortable. They say that no orders
we're given, and that the officers were all
distracted. This fact is not disputed
Passengers, sailers and coal-boys rushed
and took possession of the boats, all
rescues being effected subsequently.
The steamship Lochearn was pre-
vented from making immediate
preparation for the rescue, owing TO lg-
norance on board as to whether the Vile
du Havre had sustained serious or slight
damage; and, as consequence, did not
lower her boats until the steamer had
gone down. On the Vile du Havre no
life-preservers could be found in their
D proper places. One gentleman among
the rescued searched four state-rooms
for them in vain. 1t is believed that the
occupants Of three or four rooms were
probably killed when the prov of the
Lochearn crushed in the plates of the
steamer. The most of those rescued
were in the water from half hour to an
hour. The survivors exchanged their
wet dresses for clothes and wrappings
from the sailors stores. When a land
ing was effected at Cardiff, after the
transfer to the ship Trimountain, the
ladies we're still in a state Of pain, some
having on only blanket, none having
bonnets, and all having their feet covered
with sailors stockings.

EXPANSION.

The wealth of this country in 1860
amounted to Sl2,OOO,OOO, 600; in 1870 to
s., 600. 5000 In 1860 the paper and
specie currency Of the country amounted
to 5000, 100000, or one dollar in cur
rency to sixty in wealth. In 1870 we
had $500 100000 in currency, or one
dollar in currency to every eleven dol
lars and twenty-five cents in wealth. 1t
is, therefore, no wonder that values are
shrinking, and every interest in the
country suffering greatly. The nncer
tainty of what is to be evolved out Of
all this chaos is enough to battle the
shrewdest merchant or banker. And
yet we are told by Senator Brownlow on
the one hand, and lot Of spectators
on the other, that we need an expan-
sion Of the currency. What we most
need is an expansion Of muscle in the
corn field, and contraction of bills at
the stores, followed by a strict adher.
ence to the cash system.
