SPECIE PAYMENTS.

The Republican Senators Agree Upon a
Financial Scheme Looking to the Re-
sumption Of Specie Payments on Jan.
L. 1879.
Washington dispatches advise US that the
Republican Senators have agreed upon gen.
eral Financial bill. of which the following
are the leading features:
First-Free banking to be open to all indi-
viduals and associations without limitation of
capital
Second-The retiring Of an amount of green
backs equalto so per cent. of the amount of the
new national bank notes issued until the green
back circulation shall be reduced to $500. O00
600; after which no further reduction of
greenbacks is to take place. 1t is claimed
that by this provision there will be neither
expansion nor contraction of the currency, as
about 20 per cent. is now required as bank
reserves.
Third-The withdrawal and destruction of
fractional currency and the substitution of
silver coin, the arrangement to 60 into effect
as soon as practicable, under the direction of
the Secretary of the Treasury, who is author
lied to use any surplus money for supplying
silver coin. and. if this is net sufficient to sell
the requisite amount of bonds of the new
eerles to obtain the funds for that purpose
FOurth-Removing che cost for the coinage
of gold at the several mints.
rifth-Resumptton OF specie payments to
commence on the LIST day of January, 1879
The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized
to use any surplus specie in the Treasury
but, il that is not sufficient, to sell bonds in
order % obtain gold to pay Treasury notes.
But t,ds last provision does not, like the 9TH
ers, go into immediate effe,t. The Legal
Tender act remains undisturbed-
The bill having been agreed to almost unani-
mously by the CAUCUS, there being only four
members dss enting. insures the passage OF
the bill by the Senate, and will, it is thought

Shooting the Abductors OF Charley
R0Sg

On the morning of the 18th of Deem
Der, two burglars named Mosier and
Douglass, while in the act of robbing
the house of Judge Van Brunt. in the
suburbs of New York, were shot and
killed by Mr.. Rulef Van Brunt and his
son. One of them made dying con-
fession, to the effect that he was cen
cerned In the abduction of little Charley
Ross. Mr.. Van Brunt thus relates to a
New York reporter the circumstances of
the killing:
At 2 o'clock the alarm bell rung and
startled me from my sleep. told my
wife to call my son, as thought there
was something the matter IN Judge Van
Brunt's house. I told my son to look
around, when / heard the alarm strike,
and see if everything was all right. He
took lantern and went for Scott, a
workman around the place They went
over to the Judges house, and they saw
light in one of the windows. My son
came back and asked for gun. My
son wanted me to take gun and come
over with them. / said, 81 do not feel
able to 60" and he said, ''You had bet
ter come; there is some one in the
Judges house" / then took gun and
went out with them. I crept up to the
window, and, by peeping in, saw the
heads of two desperate looking fellows.
They were moving about by the light of
dim lantern. / saw them go into the
buffers pantry and tumble things
around there little. and then they went
upstairs. I said, ''Wiliiam, now let's
60 for them. You have got the keys !;

burglars coming down stairs. They
went iuto the dining room, and there l
saw the Pickering OF q match. 1 saw

He wouldn't, and pulled the trigger

away at them. The young burglar fell

by the Judges gate. The young fellow
died at half-past o'clock I saw that
he was dying, and l told him if he had
anything to say he had better say it at

out, "Oh, madam, I have been very
wicked man."

American Apples in England.

The London Garden speaks as fol-
lows in regard to the importation of our
national fruit: American apples of the
past seasons growth are now selling at
moderate rates in the provincial towns,
both in England and Ireland. The high
colored and we'll favored Baldwin is the
commonest kind as yet. As usual they
came in barrels, without any kind OF
packing material, and are as rule in
excellent condition. That apples should
be sent several thousand miles, and
then be sold as cheaply as homegrown
fruit, is noteworthy fact. At this rate
of progress, fruitless and cold regions
will soon be supplied with the finest
fruits at cost that places them within
the reach of all classes.

The Age OF Suicide.

The London Medical Record saws
"The influence of age upon suicide is
study of more than speculative inter-
est, on account of its practical bearings,
and of the ease and precision with
which it can be demonstrated. By age
is meant the critical periods of life.
These periods have many compoRents
besides the mere fact OF years, it is ap-
parent that what we have to examine is
many-sided phenomenon, including,
together with it, the advance in life, the
workings of physiolc gical, mental. and
sociological causes. It has been lately
examined by DR.. O'Dea, and it appears
that the maximum of suicides of both
sexes occurs between the ages of % and
35. Previous to the 25th year there is
a sudden increase from suicides be-
tween the ages of and 10. to 136 be-
tween 20 and So. After So the tendency
to suicide declines, but more gradually
than it rose, except at IS, where the
number increases again from 81
to S3-a rise so slight, however,
as to be little worth considering.
There are, therefore, three suicidal
periods in life-those of organic and
mental growth, of organic and mental
completion, and of organic and mental
decline. In the first the chart shows
81, in the second 40, and in the
third 81. Comparing the peri
DDS in round numbers, it may be said
that thev are as one for childhood and
adolescence to twelve for adult life, and
to four for the years of bodily and men
tai decay. The influence of sex and its
attendant circumstance upon suicides at
the different periods OF Lie is shown
upon the charts. With females, as
among males, there is sudden and
abrupt rise until the 25th year is
reached. The rise is continued to the
35th year, at which the maximum of
period from the 25th to the 35th year
corresponds to that of the greatest
pressure from domestic troubles and
responsibilities, as also with the great
est activity of the maternal functions.
The line thence descends abruptly to
the 45th year, whence it rises to the
50th, the critical period OF mature fe-
male life, and then goes down, unit it
reaches the level from which it started.
There are therefore, two eliminating
points, and while the line on the male
chart is undulating and sustained, that
on the female is vertical and abrupt.
The lower of the male eliminating
points is the higher of the female, and
contrariwise, the lower of the female is
the higher of the male. These charts
do not show the relative frequency of
suicides among the two sexes. The
ratio of suicides to population in the
United States is for the period covered
by the last decimal census) % to 1907 900
among males, and 3 to 100000 among
females. The only periods at which
suicides are nearly equal for both sexes
is from Is to 20 years, during which the
number of boy suicides was "a, of girl
suicides 3d. After this the number of
suicides among males is much greater
than among females.

Poor Mother.

A Blow aimed at the child must
strike through the very heart of the
mother. Imagine, then, the agony en-
dured by the heroine of the subjoined
incident: A little girl, while playing on
a railroad track, got her foot SO wedged
in a frog that she was held fast. Her
mother saw the predicament, and heard
the approaching train. She ran to the
rescue of the child, but could not ex-
tricate the foot. The train came on, and
although the engineer applied the
brakes, it was clear enough that it
could not be stopped quick enough.
The mother finding that the girl could
not be less than manned, held her as
far off the track as she could while the
cars went by. A foot was crushed, but
a life was saved.
