Scribner's Monthly for July contains
some notable features, not the least OF
which is Prof. Harris carefully pre-.
pared article on "The Shakespeare

giving views of this and other alleged
likenesses OF the poet. Mr.. StoddaId's
"Studles OF South British Authors"
are here begun, with q paper on An
cestry, to be followed by another on the
same subject. The much controverted
Orthodox Minister" ia heard from
again on "Our Eschatology." The
opening article OF the number is one OF
the Great South illustrated series by
Edward King; Missouri is here des'
cribed with considerable detail as to
it's history, resources and enterprises.
Mrs. Hodgson Burnett has a short

which will stir up the patriotism liz girls

article on Fire Crackers and the Fourth

TIE temperance movement seems to
have degenerated into burglary at New
Cumberland in this State, as will ap.
pear from the statement in our local
columns this morning. Certainly such
an outrage and such a glariug violation
OF law will be earnestly condemned by
all right thinking people, no matter
how respectable its perpetrators may
have heretofore been and no matter
what their motive was in breaking into
the store in the night and destroying
druggists stock OF liquors. The tenn
perance cause cannot be promoted in
this way.

The currency bill which was passed
by the House last Saturday and has
since been signed by the President and
has now become a law, received the
support OF all the West Virginia mem
bers OF Congress. In presenting the
report OF the conference committee, Mr..
DAWES, Of Massachusetts,, made the fol-
lowing explanation OF the main features
Of the bill
He regretted that the report did not
contain, as the first conference report
had, any provision, either for an early
resumption OF specie payment on the
part OF the government, or for any re-
tirement, under any circumstances, OF
any portion Of the government issue.
He regretted exceedingly that it had
been found impossible to bring the two
houses together on any such agreement.
But a matter which seemed to some
not only demanded by the public
faith, but also seemed easy OF
accomplishment, had been found i'm.
possible to regulate either in the
two Houses or in the two conference
committees. The committee, however,
could not hesitate to feel that the fix
ing OF the maximum Issue of green
backs was something gained. 1t had,
therefore, fixed the maximum at $751;
100000, and required it TO be kept in
circulation instead of having part Of it
kept in reserve in the Treasury, to be
shot out or drawn in as if on some
tramway. The second feature OF the
bill was equally important. 1t was that
there should be no further in-
crease of national bank currency.
Therefore the country would
know, SO far "a this Congress was
concerned, that the whole volume of
the national bank currency was capable
OF being ascertained. Another question
which had stared the committee n the
face was the necessity of a redis;rbu
ton of national bank currency, and as
he was the only member of the Con-
ference Committee who represented the
section OF the con ntry which had more
than its share of bank note circulation,
it would not have been unbecoming in
him to oppose a redistribution. He had
therefore given in his adhesion to a
report which proposed to redistribute
$55,000,000 OF the $80000,000 now
retained by one section OF the country
more thar it was entitled to by the ratio
of wealth and population. Another
feature was as to the national bank re-
serve, and on that point he explained
what would be the effect OF the bill. He
commended this report to the consider
ton OF the House, and particularly to
TO that section OF country which had
steadily refused two things-an increase
OF the volume Of currency and free
banking, and which had at the same
time got $S0,000,000 more than it's
share OF currency. he would say to that
section of the country that it could not
afford TO stand before the people in the
light Of hesitsting whether it would do
justice in the distribution OF what cur
rency there is il it refused to permit any
more. He desired to suggest that that
section OF the country was ultimately
In the power OF the other section which
only demanded this equitable distribu-
ton and nothing more. To do equity
was the surest way to secure equity.

SlarA And MefeOFa.

At certain seasons meteors dart across
the armament between the earth and the
fixed stars. But they quickly vanish, while
the xed stars remain. In the medical nr-
mament the great vegetable invigorant,
Hoste tiers Stomach Bitters, has long been
fixed star of the first magnitude. Little
meteors, in the shape or limitations, bear
ing variout names, now and then attempt
glimmer!ng com petition with 1t, but they
soon disappear from the field of vision,
leaving the glory OF the true remedy nm
impaired. The number Of these will-o'-the-
wisps that have come to grief within the
last twenty years is beyon computation,
ami those now in existence are IN the last
agon!es OF extingui shment. The standard
tonic and alternative, that cures and pre-
vents so many distressing diseases, and
which no debilitated invalid ever took
without receivinga wonderful accession OF
strength and vitality, only derives increas.
ed popularity from the attempts OF charla-
tans to run their failures in the Hostetter
