AT q meeting yesterday the Chamber OF
Commerce of this city again denounced the
schemes to expand the currency. Upon thls
topic the Chamber spoke with no uncertain
sound. The merchants there represented I'M
doubleday reflect the opinion of a vast major
ity of the business men OF the whole country.
VIII Congress heed the voice1 several
speakers referred with great ylgor ana vehe-
mence to the oppressive administration OF
complicated laws. We are glad to learn That
the Chamber expect hearty cooperation IN
their movement for revenue reform, the Board
of Trade of other commercial cities being
likely TO Join. Whatever ia done must be
done quickly; Congress must not put of this
work on the plea of having no time at TINS
session.
The address delivered to the National
Grange at ST. Louis. yesterday, by Grand
Master Adams is printed in The TRIBUNE
to-day. 1t is certainly a compact, clear, ana
forcible presentation of the case as seen from
the Changers point of view. Next to the
consideration of matters Immediately connected
with the permaDence of the Oranges, the address
naturally discusses the question of Governmental
supervision of railroads On this point Mr..
Adams is very clear in his own convictions;
his illustrations may not be altogether tortl-
nate; but they are designed to captlvate the
Judgment of the mass of people to whom they
are addressed. Men who have had some por-
ton of their land condemned by law for the use
of railroads will be slow to arrive at any other
conclusion than that achieved by Grand Master
Adams. He thinks that a Government which
forcibly secures the right of way for rail
road has a right to regulate the tariff OF
freghts by which it processes to serve the public
1t will be seen that the Oranges have already
become important enough to find it necessary
to exercise cautious discrimination in regard
to applications for fellowship. Mr. Adams
thinks that the phrase interested in agrlcul-
"ture may be tortured to include tho hawk
with the sparrow in one category.

1t is reported that while the consumption of opium
in China is constantly increasing, there is a serious
falling OFF in the importation Of the drug frcm other
countries. All the Persian opium which was i'm
ported in 1872 and all that remained on hand from
1871. reexported The OF this is the prefer
ence which is shown for the native opium and the
consequent increasing cultivation Of the poppy in
the Chinese provinces The profit TO the cultivator
is great ordinary crops of wheat and millet yielding
him one ounce Of silver or more a year, while from
the same quantity OF land-about the seventh of an
acre-he gets enough opium to bring him five ounces
Of silver While this is true, and while local and pro-
yincial governments gain liberal revenue from
opium smokiug-shOp licenses and the payment of
duty by the opium guild, IL is not likely that any
Imperial edict will be able to check either the con-
sumption OF the cultivation. England was chiefly
instrumental in creating in China the taste for
opium aud the want of it. She will scarcely relish
the immense reduction IN her income made by tho
dying out OF her expectation OF tho drug from India

Is about to be conferred ON his Royal

Ill, was created in 1854 Duke Of Glou-

these titles passed to his son. the second

not true that the present Ia even the sec

The Best Cow.

A pretty rich thing occurred at the e.
tabishment of Simpson not long SINCE.
Simpson used to be our mIlkman, and We
attribute to him, III great measure, our
loss Of confidence in humanity generally,
and milkmen in particular. Mike Welsh
hid been recommended to Simpson as a tat
man to assist in taking care Of horses and
cows; So Mike was hired. and placed IN
charge OF his department
One morning. after Mike had been a
month at the place, Simpson, who had
made ready to start off with ms milk-cart,
said to him:
Mike, you may give the cows some
oatmeal this morning; and he sure YOU
give my best mixer and extra quantity"
The best mixer, is II, sir f'
Il " Yes; you know the old COW that gives
the most milk HI
II Bedad, ! think AZ sir. \"
Wen, you give her four quarts of the
mash
All right sir iii do that same.
On the evening Of that day, Simpson
had occasion to 70 to the old wooden
pump that stood in the yard He tried
tue handle, but it wouldn't work. The
pump seemed to be entirely choked up.
Finally he discovered that all the upper
part was loaded with something very nearly
resembling oatmeal mash. He called his
man-servant.
Mike, said he, " what is the matter
with this pump r
" The pumps it, SIR e.
:" Yes How came this oatmeal mash in
heref
Sure sir, put It in meself
" Stupid blockhead. why did You do
that III
" X was yerself that told me, sir. II
II told you to put it in here hi
\ Indade, ye did, sir
Why, you thick headed rascal, what
do you mean
Don't he in passion, master. Did ye
not tell me to give yer best mixer an extra
quantity u the mash, and where in All the
world, d like to know, is the crathur that
gives 50 much milk to yer cans as does this
old pump T.
The story leaked out, and added greatly
to the distrust already entertained by
| Simpsons customers.

The Duty Of a Woman to be a Lady


Wildness is thing which girls cannot
afford. Dellcacy rs a thing which cannot
be lost and found. No art can rest ore to

is destructive to all that makes women ex-

They may be nothing. but they are all.
Nothing 1t Is the first duty of woman

Awkwardness may be- lneradicable. Bash
fulness is constitutional Ignorance of
etiquette is the result uf circumstances
All can be condoned, and do not banish
man or woman from the amenities Of their

aggressive coarseness Of demeanor may be
reckoned as a State Prison offense, and GER
tainly merits the mild form of restraint

for women to be lectured upon their man

Women are the umpires Of society. 1t is
they to whom all mOoted points should be

CHAPTER ~.
ROBERT PARTON.

The cottage upon Long Island to which
Robert Parton had led James Mayhem was
one of the few which skiFted the water at
that particular spot, and at which the for
ner had secured temporary place of
abiding. 1t was not occupied except by
an old lady, her son, who titled few acres
Of ground near by, and Mr.. Parton, the
latter of whom had been a boarder for
only few days, and who had taken the
boat belonging to Mrs. Winston's son for a
short ride upon the waters of the ocean
that day He did not disturb his visitor
for some little time, finally gently touching
his shoulder and then saying to him
''Come, my friend you are fully rested
and we may as well prepare for tea.
Here, indicating a suit of his own cloth
ing, which he had quietly hung over a
chair, and basin, water and towel, ''are
the means of renovating your general APP
pearance. | will be back in a few mo-
ments. Use no delicacy, a wet man must
not be allowed TO remain So long, you
know"
His unObtrusive and persuasive elo-
quence soon won upon his newly made
companion, and when he returned he found
Mayhem considerably renovated and pre-
senting q new appearance entirely. He
lent q new cheerfulness to the tramp's
mind by quiet but pleasant run Of small
talk, and soon had him in the little dining
room and introduced to Mrs. Winston a.
my friend, MIR. Mayhem"
Both did excellent Justice to the ample
repast upon the tea table, and they agair
settled down into q quiet conversation
when in the little room Of the stranger
again.
"We will take row in the bay whel
the moon is up" said Mr.. Parton. why
man, you viii feel like new man in few
days"
He did not notice his companions eye

have seen tears-tears wrought from th'
spirit for the first time In many years
Affected thus, lie went ON converting, NO
knowing that in his own behalf he made

The moon had risen gloriously over al

way to the little boat and entered it, Ono
out where the current gently aoated
along, the stranger rested on his oars, an

COOPERATION.

The following lecture was delivered by
E. M. Chamberlin, Esq, of Boston, at the
Music Hall, Fall River, Mass, on Friday
evening, June 26th
Mr.. President, Ladies' and Gentlemen
A consideration of the past and present
system of labor is proper introduction to
the subject of cooperation, which is but
Just commencing to be known.
The most ancient, and, at one time the
only sort, and which exists to very con
siderable extent yet, is that Of slave labor.
There are remains somewhere in the world
Of most all systems, and our own country,
till lately, furnished an example Of the
oldest and worst sort.
1t is dying out, and but few countries
tolerate it within their borders. Our own
example and influence is likely to be felt
in Cuba and b America and the
western hemisphtre be entirely freed
from its presence in the course Of the
present century. We nov deem the
system indefensible, yet not many years
since many of our countrymen proved by
the Bible, reason, and the natural fit
ness of things, that it was of divine
origin, right and good and destined to
endure forever.
In remote antiquity, when the principal
occupation Of men was fighting and
plundering each other, the warlike and
the strong compelled the weak, and those
who had been captured in battle to dc
the work. Naturally enough the children
remained in the same condition that they
were born, and thus permanent caste
was created In very olden times the
higher an well AZ the lower grades of ser
vice were performed by slaves. Joseph
sold into slavery by his brother, became
afterwards the prime minister Of Egypt, Z
country of the greatest Importance, tn.
temples and pyramids of which beal
witness to the obedient service of q mil
lion slaves or more. Babylon, its mass,
walls and hundred gates, hanging gar
dens and reservoirs, forty miles round
was equally built by bOnd-men. Tn,
architectural remains Of Greece, whicl
serve as models to the masters of tn,
present day, bear evidence to the skill o
men who could not call their hands thei
own.
The people of Athens, 30 remarkable 70
their culture and speculative inquire
into many branches Of knowledge. neve
could imagine q free country devoid Q
slaves Plato, the pupil Of Socrates, i
his suggestions for the formatian Of
perfect republic, did not conceive OF an
other or more advanced organisation {
labor than that which existed alread
!, among them.

Keep to the Right.

Nothing makes a man or woman look
more foolish on the sidewalk than each
making move to pass the other. One
turns to the right and the other to the
left, then both make plunge f,rward, and
instead of obviating increase the difficulty
Nine to one there is q collision and un-
pleasant consequences. How often we see
this thing ON our crowded sidewalks, and
how embarrassing it always is, especially
to a lady, to be caught in such fix. II

The above named distinguished young
lady gives public reading at Masonic Hall

Miss Patterson has been under the in
structiOn OF Murdoch, the well-knOWn elo-

ers who may be fortunate
enough to hear her to-
morrow night, cannot be otherwise than
highly entertained. She comes to our city
with the most flattering recommendations
from the leading papers of the cOun-
Try; and when, in addition to all
this, we remind our feaders that the
entertainment is given for a benevolent
purpose, we feel that nothing more is need
ell TO secure for the fair reader as large and
appreciative an audience as she has had in
any city Of no greater population.
No extra charge for reserved seals, which
can be had at Dounan's music store.
