invited the doctor up stairs to look

CONTINENTAL SHIN PLAsTERs.

From an advance copy of pam
phlet on the Revolutionary FL
nance" by Mr.. j. w. Schuekers, it
appears that the "Bills of credit
authorized by the Continental Con
gress, from June, 1775, to Noyem-
ber 20, I779, amounted to $241 ,552,-
78O, the coin value of which was
only $36, 1867 ,719. The depreciation
did not begin until May, l777, and
then three continental Dollars"
equaled one coin dollar. In Novem-
ber, 1879, it required 3Sl dollars of
"Continental Money" to buy one in
silver.
In 1880 the depreciation was more
rapid. In February the relative
value was 40 to 1, and in December,
81 dollars in "shin plaster money"
we're worth one Spanish silver dol
lar.

WHAT MISS ANTHONY TOLD a CHICAGO LADY.
CuIcAGo. Aug. 5-The Chicago Tribune of t0-mor-
row morning will print letter concerning the con-
necton of Miss Anthony with the BeecheT-Iuton
matter. The writer is a lady resident here, and is
well known in philanthrOpic and reform circles
Hername is withheld at her request but Is QI weight
sufficient TO Justify the publication OF heT unsolicited
contribution to the evidences OF Mr. Beechers
guilt.

Beyond courtesy Il seems likely that guilty
may be shielded from the Just consequence OF his
sin by Of stopping The mouths Of all direct wit
and that an injured man may be crushed in the
