reduction of the public debt will be ar
rested, if not abandoned.
Treasurer Spinner says few if any be
lieve the value Of the currency, as fixed
by law, stands at an amount that is exact
ly right. 1t must be obvious to all who
have an interest in, and who have watched
the course Of business, and the financial
returns of the country, that there are
many times when the real wants Of the
country demand, and there should be, an
increase of currency, and that there are
other times when the safety OF all legiti-
mate business requires that it should be
largely decreased. What is really needed
is currency so flexible as to at all times
accommodate itself to the business wants
OF the whole country. After arguing the
question, the Treasurer says that for the
existing notorious evils remedy should
be found and interposed, which remedy,
he thinks, is the issue of legal-tenders
convertible into bonds at low rate of in
terest, 3 65-100 being the rate most likely
to satisfy all conditions to be met. He
thinks it more than probable that it will
not require an increase of the bulk of
legal-tenders above the present legally au-
thorized $500, 100000 and that the mini
mum amount of 1906 100000 will ordi-
narily be sufficient for the easy transac-
ton Of the legitimate business of the
country
The project Of the post-office savings
banks, about which the Bureau has been
consulted by the Postmaster General, is
warmly commended by the former as one
that would not only be of great benefit to
the individual depositors, but to the
whole country as we'll

The wealth of some of our dairying
districts is enormous. Herkimer, New
York, is said to ship annually over H.
100000 pounds of cheese and 100000
pounds of butter, worth $4500,000 Little
Falls, N. Y, perhaps as much. st. Adams,
Vt, ships 100000 pounds of cheese,
1850, 900 pounds of butter, worth in the
market ST 100000 The village of Well
ington, Ohio, shipped 100000 pounds of
cheese in 1869, worth 100000. The pro-
ducts of the dairy are sold for cash, and,
hence, the returns are quick. This indus
Try enables the manufacturer to reduce a
large bulk of food into small compass
through the two processes of feeding
cows and manufacturing the products.
There is yet room for its extensive in
crease in the West.

A curious circumstance is mentioned
in Canadian paper OF boy named
Kingston, who recently lost his arm by a
threshiug machine at Adelaide, After
the limb had been amputated and buried
the boy complained that the hand was
cramped, causing him extreme pain, and
that II il was not disinterred he could not
recover, The limb was accordingly dis
inferred, and the hand found to be firmly
shut together. During the operation of
opening the hand the patient evineed
great agony, and atterward declared that
he felt relieved from the sensation Of
cramp. The case is q strange one, but we
believe il is not without precedent in
medical annals

THE many friends of Don Vicente
 Hernandez and Dona Librada Chaves
 his wife, will be deeply pained to
 learn of their cruel murder at Tucson.
 Arizona; full account of which, and
 the speedy justice meted out to their
 murderers, will be found Tn this num-
 Der of The Review. MT. and Mrs.
 Hernandez were residents of Albu- querque for several years, where they
 conducted hourishing school; and
 where they endeared themselves to all who knew them by their many good qualities of head and heart. In 1870 MT. Hernandez left Albuquerque for Tucson. Mrs. H. remained with her mother at Peralta until last fall, when she joined her husband. The couple seem to have been deservedly respected ill their latter place of residence also, their inter ment having been attended by many hundreds of the people of Tucson.-l l Albuquerque Review, August 5.

 A very heavy wind and rain storm, with startling thunder and lightning, visited Yuma about last midnight for an hour or more. No serious damage done and some good expected.

AN eastern exchange has this in- spring paragraph relative to the Gen. tennial Exposition;
 Among the many novel features of the exhibition will be display of all the vegetable products of the United States, those requiring a torrid tem- perature being supplied herewith by artificial means. Thus the cedars of Maine and the lpagnolias of Flor ida, the cotton of Mississippi and the wheat of Minnesota will be seen in actual growth almost side by side. The wonderful varieties of American fruits will be exhibited simultaneously, and as no nation in the world has such an extent and variety as ours, this feature will especially interest and surprise all those who may visit us from foreign lands. It Is con- fidently believed that the American Centennial display of 1876 will be magnificent com bination of tn a t series ot international exhibitions with which England and France have delighted the world, and which it was thought would close with the Austrian exhibition of this summer.

Man Probably Perished of Thirst.

August 2S, Col. Woolsey wrote us
 at Stauwix Station on the Gila, as
 follows:
 As Jose Maria Salazar was coming
 from P. W. Smiths mill, below Wick enburg, to Agua Caliente Ranch, he found body Of white man, who had apparently been dead five or six days. I went with him to bury the body and just returned yesterday. There were neither arms nor money on the body. He had a change of clothing consisting of canvas pants and blue cotton blouse; had on can- vas pants, checked wool shirt, coarse begged shoes, soldier socks and hat. He was about five feet and ten inches high, and had light hair, with sandy mustache. I think he was either 8 discharged soldier or deserter. In an old memorandum book, the name of James Hall appears several times also the following names: Thomas Jones, Mike Mcdonald, George Mo- Lain, Mrs. Henry, and Mrs. Kemp for washing 75 cents. No date or place appears to indicate where he was from. 1 think he died of thirst as tracks showed that he had come across the 26-mile desert between Phenix and Agua Caliente.
