". In THE DAILY TRIBUNE of Monday last
we showed that the Treasury, accepting its
own figures, contained only eleven million
two hundred thousand dollars in coin not sub
ject to be drawn from it on demand. In THE
TRIBUNE of Wednesday it was shown that
without revival of the import trade, or an
expansion of the currency, or new loan, IL
would be impossible for the Treasury to get
back the coin which for three months past 1t
has been so literally pouring into Wall Street.
We showed that no further decrease OF the
Public Debt could be expected during the re-
mainder of the fiscal year, unless Congress
increases the taxes, which is not to be ex-
pected. We now go further and warn the
merchants that an expansion of the currency
is imminent-an increase of the legal-tender
circulation by Mr. Richardson, and an increase
of the national bank circulation by Congress.
Neither is necessary and both are evils.

CENTENNIAL SPEECHIFYTNG.

IL silence be golden Gas the proverb avers)
the abolition of specie payments may have
something to do with the alarming increase
of American eloquence. No public event here
for more than a century has occurred without
at least one speech, but nothing now happens
without an absolute freshet of talk. News
papers, doubtless, are partly to blame for
this, for reporting has made it easy for the
aspiring to see themselves in print-ther
names at least, though nothing is said of these
save that their owners "made few eloquent
"remaIks which were well received"-or a
few witty remarks which convulsed the
" audience'-or "a few appropriate remarks; -
or merely and meagerly, a few remarks"
The Creator of Americans in bestowing thus
bountifully this gift of platform gable upon
His Yankee sons and daughters, had. doubt
less purpose in view, just as he had
when he made parrots and organ grinders
what the object was in the beginning, and still
is, far be it from us to try to find out. IL is
in vain that the President of the United
States, scared perhaps by the awful example
of his predecessor. at least sets his country

ing What then must this WolfBoy be who has
Just been brought to LucknOw-a boy embezzled
from his weeping parents in infancy by wolves
We don't understand why his captors did not eat
him, but they didn't. and he has lived with the
creatures ever since. He was lately caught the
story goes and at once recognized by his parents
But while residing with the wolves, his education
was shamefuly neglected, and at present he is not
much of comfort to his father and mother. He
will eat nothing but raw meat, which he tears to
pieces and ravenously devours. He bites papa and
he snaps at mamma, and is anything but a gentle

been handed over to DR.. Wishaw to undergo a
process of tanning" This gentleman no doubt, is
sort of compound of Van Amburgh and Dr. Busby.
We suppose the pupil has by this time been trained
to understand that it is fork fogging with him,
and that raw meat is an improper diet for good
little Christian boy.

al told you so,n was on the lip of every
body when the i'll news spread apace, yester-
day. that the great transatlantic balloon
bubble had burst. The collapse was 30 sud-
den and utter that it left no room for any
explanation that would satisfy the thousands
who "always believed it wouldn't Co." Still,
the popular disappointment is great, and it
will be allayed only when it is found that an
honest attempt will be made to retrieve this
great disaster.
The assassination of Gen. E. s. McCOok, as
related in our dispatches, seems to have been
an unusually atrocious deed. A man who has
been worsted in an accidental encounter goes
deliberately off, and, providing himself with
revolver, returns and deliberately shoots his
late antagonist. There seems to be nothing
to condone the willfulness of the murder.
Such crimes often stain our American civiliza-
ton, it is true; but tho cold brutality of this
is made more conspicuous by the prominent
position Of the slain man.
Men who want to recover damages for tres
pass set the highest possible value on their
property; when they are to be assessed for
tax levy, they are poor indeed. The Commits
sion appointed to examine into and report
upon the Mexican raids into Texas report
total damage of about $50 100000 to the flocks
and herds of the Texans living in the border
counties. The assessed valuation of that spe-
cies of property in the whole State is just
about that sum. Texan live stock must have
increased enormously in value since the Mexi-
cans stole it by the wholesale.
A decline in gold might be hailed as a
sensible relief to the market, if other disturb
ing elements did not come in TO embarrass
trade. The Gould clique have relaxed their
grip; but an increased demand for and
advance in the rates of foreign exchange
will neutralize the effect which q decline in
gold would otherwise have had on the market.
Exchange has fuctuated ruinously OF late,
and importers, now that lower rates
of gold are likely to prevail, have right to
expect settled prices. But the enormous pres
sure of grain freghts from the West threatens
seriously to deraDge the receipt and delivery
system at Eastern ports, and considerable
tlmidity in making contracts is already mani
tested. The European demand ought to cause
an advance in ocean freights and in the
price of American grain it does neither; and
while the transportation problem remains to
embarrass dealers and shippers it is apparent
that this anomalous condition of affairs must
continue. Meantime, rates of freight on some
of the great Western railway lines, those of
the Chicago and North Western and Mlwau-
kee and st. Paul especially, are suddenly in
creased, to the great indignation of the grain
growers and oforwarders Grain is high in

1t must be natural depravity or original sin which
makes the average Youthful Mind sverse to the
learning of the catechism. 1t is question whether
if the matter were left to the said Mind to decide
it would not be ignorant of that excellent exer
else as was poor Joe moving on into the shadows of
Tom-All -Alones. Probably the most grievous re-
belon against catechism lessons is that of little
ten-year-old girl in France, who lately and after
long reconciliation burned her fathers house to the
ground because she had been whipped for not know
ing those lessons. Immediately on being punished
she studied her plan of revenge, stole lucifer
match, and for FIVE days calmly watched for good
opportunity, until at last she set the thstch fire
at o'clock in the morning, and ran out of the way

perhaps suggest little story for Sunday-school

sentenced to detention in a reformatory until she
is eighteen.
1t il almost enough to take away ones breath to
find Lord Cowper in late speech, saying of tho
House of Lords that most of them were bores and
the remainder were fools" We cannot say that we
exactly comprehend Lord Cow per's classification, for

unlikely to be bores Yet the Folklore and the bore
fool may both be admirable exemplars of Deport-
ment, which it is the principal business of tho
Lords in these revolutionary and democratic days.

bed or any wooden fabrc-if none isa hand,
take any wooden material-hold the corners az
far apart as you can, stretch them out higher
than your head, and runnig boldly to the person
make a motion OF clasping in the arms, mostly
about the shoulders. This Instantly smothers
