THBTY-FIvE YEARS AGO, Thos. II. Benton, COM
monty known in those days as g Old Bullion, - de-
livered a speech upon finances in the United States
Senate, in the course Of which he made some remarks
which bear upon a prominent issue Of to-day in
America, and which are Of interest to US at these
islands in view Of monetary questions that have been
discussed of late, and that may again come up for
consideration. One passage in Benton's speech we
will quote "One Of the highest functions of money
is to measure values. That is n function which paper
cannot perform. The measure of values must itself
possess intrinsic value, and must itself be free from
sudden or material variations of value. As well
might you attempt 10 make q measure of lengths out
Of that which has no length q measure Of weights
out of that which has no weight /; q measure Of guam
ties out of that which has no capacity to hold any
quantity, as to endeayor to make a measure out of
that which has no intrinsic value. The precious
metals alone can constitute n measure of values
paper money can measure the value Of nothing, not
even Of itself its own value is eternally measured
by its reaction-by its convertibility-intO specie"
This is stating the case quite strongly but it may
be well to consider the questions in advance which
may erelong be brought before US.

san Francisco is having a disgraceful wrangle
in its fire department. there being two boards Of
fire commissioner, with two chief engineers, strug-
Cling for the supremacy, and in the meantime
500. 00o. 900 worh of property is virtually de-
prived of its proper protection against fire. One
night recently The new Commissioners broke into
the Office of the Did commissioners and took pos
session of the place and vault. Subsequently the
old commissioners, by way of retaliation, were to
meet and displse all the foremen and hremeu
who refuse TO Obey their chief engineer.

IT Is SOMETIMES annoying as well as amusing, to
note the gross ignorance Of the subject displayed in
American journals whenever they undertake to COM
ment upon Hawaiian afairs-nor, indeed are the
journalists Of Great Britain in any way behind their
transatlantic cousins in this regard. In the
Weekly Dispatch of Pittsburg, Pa, of Jan. "a, we
find half a column devoted to generally loose and
Incorrect statements in regard to the islands, conclud-
ing with the following bit Of "reliable news
The idea Of the natives 81 strongly pleading for an
~nexation, is certainly good:
''Should Lunalilo die early. as it is expected he
will, q variety Of claimants may seek the crown.
Queen Emma, widow Of Kamehameha, and Mrs.
Bishop are among the female names prominently
mentioned. Ii is not the line Of succession, however,
that interests US, so much as the probable fact that
IunaliIo's death Will be the signal for another effort
Ito bring about annexation with the United States.
Last winter the prospect was vigorously canvassed,
and among the natives was strongly pleaded for. Ten
or twelve months experience Of Lunallo cannot have
strengthened the islanders in their devotion TO home
rule. They will make, it is thought, an earnest ap-
peal for union with the United States; but the wooing
will in great likelihood, be all on their side. Those
islands would bring US no special benefit"
4 late number of the London Telegraph, gravely
informs its readers that a live specimen of the ''Dodo''
has been received from the Sandwich Islands, and de-
votes a column to the subject of the extinct creature.

What the Ladies Should Wear.

In lecture on the subject of "Dress
Reform, IN Boston, on Wednesday
night, DIR. Mary S. Blake is reported 10
have related some of the leading points
desired in dress reform. Let the gar
ments be ample in quality and quantity
of material to give suitable warmth. Let
its distribution be as equable as posi-
BILE. To facilitate speed in dressing
and to obviate the necessity for multi
tudinoUs bands about the waist, unite
in oi1e garment, vest and waist and
drawers. Let no weight whatever rest
upon the hips, and if the shoulders re-
bel against the burdens laid upon them,
Tighten them. Let the stockings he of
WOODEN, if not uncomfortable, and let
them be suspended by elastic bands
from the drawers. If WOODEN stockings
are uncomfortable, use feece-lined; the
heavier the better. Leggins are not to
be dispensed with in this climate during
the winter seds6ii. Let the soles of the
boots be broader than the feet. The
higher the tops of the boots, the warm
er the ankles, provided they are so
loose that the circulation is free Do
away with the mass of dead material
false hair on the back of the head. On
the authority of Won Crate, the most
eminent oculist of modern times, it was
stated that one of the most prolific
causes Of ahattosis was the wearing of
spotted lace wells; and of nearsighted-
ness among children the wearing of any
wells. As regards jewels, if they must
be worn, to show them to the best adj
vantage, follow the example of the
Apache squaws and hang them on the
nose. Finally, if women will live true
to the highest standard for which they
were created, if they will measure their
lives by. noble deeds, let them make for
the soul imperishable garments, and
give as little thought as may be to the
clothing of the body.

The discussion of the national finances
which has occupied the attention Of tho SEN
ate since the meeting Of Congress- promises
soon to be brought TO final test as witness
the following little talk had in the Senate on
March 18th:
Senator Hanlm- This discussion has been
carried on to an extent little less than criminal
Senator Sherman Business. Of all kinds il
disarTanged by our failure TO Indicate what we
are going to do
Senator Logan-Ian ready to vote ON this
question Tomorrow. or whenever the Senate
is ready.
Senator Chandler When all these long.
winded fellows get through, let us take up the
question under the fye-mInutes rule, and then
sit il out.
Senator Davis--I add my voice to
THE DEMAND FOR MMED4rE ACTION.
Senator Ferry, Of Michigan nm willing TO
fix day for general debate under the i've
minute rule, and then sit It through until we
finish by a vote.
Senator Ferry, Of Connecticut-I have been a
dlHgusted listener to THE three-months debate.
Let us recommit the whole question TO the FL
nance Committee now.
Senator Morrill, Of Mane-Ihis question
has fingered and languished and languished
and fingered with us for three months IL we
continue fooling away time AZ this rate, the
hot months Of August and September will
still find us here
Senator Thurman The debate. a. once be-
fore remarked, has been useless consumption
of time.
Notwithstanding the above indication Of re-
turning reason on the part Of Senators, Mr.
Davis. Of West Virginia, got the floor, and de-
hvered two hours set speech 70 empty seats
u would be waste Of time to attempt to pre-
dict the end Of the debate
