err than it was? Aud is it not a legal
tender?" Cannot one pay his debts with
lit? Happy. thrice happy, then, must be
the farmer that hath a debt to pay
Until now, farmer B has been carrying
heavy mortgage on his farm because he
could not get enough out of his land to
support his family, pay his taxes and in
terest, and leave anything over. But now,
money is plentier; after next harvest he
will provide the winters stores, pay the
taxes, and apply the surplus of his gains
on his long standing debt. He is surpris-
ed, however, to find that cloth, shoes,
Goals, salt, school books, and every other
thing that he must buy have greatly
advanced in price. His taxes, too, are al.
most double what they were, After pay
ing for these things at the advanced rates,
he finds that his crop is consumed. He
has nothing left to pay on his debt. He
stands exactly where he stood before, ex-
actly as deep in debt, with exactly as little
of the more plentiful shinplaster to pay
with. In the words of the reputation ad-
vocate: His income is absorbed in mar
'keting his crop. Andy he has interest
to pay on his county's corrupt railroad
debt, he has interest to pay on the mort
gage on his farm, he mas vastly inereas-
ed taxes to pay, and he has his family to
feed, clothe and educate, at a greatly in.
creased relative expense, while the de-
mand for the things he has to sell has not
been enhanced in the slightest degree. Is
it surprising if farmer B, like his neighbor
A. should begin 10 lose faith in the repu-
diation philosophers, and to take a little
more stock in the silly and Ignorant if
not hypocritical' views of men ike Judge
Pierrepont?
The simple fact Of course is that no far
mer, no person whatever desires any of
this irredeemable currency, save for the
purpose Of exchanging it for something
else. Instead of "clinging to it with "a
miser's tenacity," those who have the
most of it are the most anxious 70 convert
it into something else as rapidly as posi-
BILE Hence Speculation, gambling in
railroads, stocks, and all manner of conf
dence operations all of which work to the
injury OF legitimate business and honest
industry. The farmer would gladly sell
his corn for some Of this irredeemable cur
rency. because it is the only medium of
exchange he can get for it ; but nobody
wishes to buy the farmers commodities
because, excepting in very limited way,
there is no opportunity for gambling in
them. A fictitious demand for breadstuffs
cannot be maintained but for a very brief
space of time, and though congress were
to water the currency with ten times its
own bulk of fluid, the legitimate demand
for farm products would not be increased
in the least degree 10 the farmer, who is
not and cannot be gambler, cheap
money" is the dearest and costliest of de-
lusions, and delusion sure to reduce him,
sooner or later, to the condition of sert in
an aristocracy of blacklegs. - Chicago

The Temperance I..eform.

The infection of the temperance re-
vivaI still spreads unabated throughout
the country. In its features and modes,
rhe warfare changes to adapt itself to
new fields, but there is 10 lessenipg of
the moral energy at the bottom. The
" women's war" it remains, on its origi-
nal backgrounds in Ohio. and to
great extent in the neighbOring state of
Indiana, where alone as yet does the
spirit wolk from town TO town till next
door communities are 81 ahame with
one vigorous purpose, and encouraging
each other by mutual rtports of prayer
and labor and triumph. The license
laws are turned into an effective weapon
against the dealers u Indiana, and
many of them are fnaing themselves
prescribed by legal mans, instead of
the moral force they hal expected. The
movement, in one form or another, has
foothold in the western states of Hi
nois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri,
Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa, though
merely an isolated onG save, perhaps,
in the East-named state, where q new
feature was the work Of the women in
CARRYING the recent town election of At
lantic by personal labOrs before and at
The polls. In Tennessee everybody is
paign turns out. Eastward, except in
some of the small towns of Long Is
land, there has been no success in the
genuine Ohio movement. The Phila-
delphians have first attempted to get
the law enforced against keeping bars
open on Sunday, and meanwhile, the
quiet house-to-house prayer-meeting
and personal appeals to dealers, with
out any street demonstrations, are re-
ported to result in several converse ions.
Little but mass meetings of prayer,
addresses and hymns marks the work In
New York. The most interesting man.
Hesitation in the east is in the capital of
Vermont, where, the "rum" element
supposed they had the select men in
their hands, and found themselves
greatly disappointed. Dio Lewis is the
apostle in Montpelier, as in the other
Vermont towns of st. a bans and Rut-
land. 1t remains to note that the coun-
t rspirit of oppositiossis being mani
tested IN its rudest fe us of insult and
actual violence in 10 Indiana and
Ohio towns, while tbs I(Sermans Of the

How the Asbantees Fought.

A correspondent writes from the
field "The Ashautees fought like
demons. They were present in enor-
nous numbers, pouring on our gallant
troops by thousands, yelling and scream
ing hideously. Although our firing
told on them immensely they had to
be driven ( ON point to point, and even
when pushed out of the successive vii
lagos returned to the attack. In the
thickest parts of the brush they climbed
the trees in order to fire more etfectu-
ally upon our troops. The order of ad-
vance from Insarful was as follows :
The attack was made in the form of a
square, through the middle of which
ran the main road, and the line extended
about three hundred yards on either
side. The forty-second regiment, pre-
ceded by Lord Clifford and his scouts,
formed the front line, with two of Rats
guns in the centre, Gordon's houssas IN
a dense corner of jungle. 1t really
seemed as if nothing but the failure OF
their ammunition would drive them out.
Now at one point, now at another, along
the hull crest they poured doTH Hcrushing
yolleys. Life they counted ~ no price
if only white man could be killed. 1t
was the same desperate obstinacy we
had seen at Abrakrampa. They climbed
trees to fire with more deadly effect, but
the mass just lay down and shot till
they shot themselves short of ammuni-
ton. Sir Archibald ALISON, brigadier
of the white troops, declares he never
came under fiercer fire in India or the
Crimea"
