The HERALD Office has changed
owners. The one who from the out
start has borne the care, the anxiety
and the expense has gone out, and
others have taken his place. The
paper is now under the control and in
the ownership of the business men OF
the city, and will be published in their
interest; but it will also advocate the
reform movement which has been its
guide in the past. Honesty, truth,
virtue and justice will be supported in
the future, we trust, as earnestly as
we know they have been in the past.
Aword in regard to expense may not
be inappropriate. The late proprietor
has lost money, for many who were in
heart with reform and progress, who
were in heart with the principles
which the paper represented and still
represents, sat idle, forgetting that it
requires both money and care to run
such a paper as the HERALD has been.
Few men realized that little less than
$1,000 per month passed out from the
office to pay simple running expenses,
and that hearty support was re-
quired to meet them. He has lost
money, but does not regret the loss, If
the cause of honesty and independence
has been subserved. These words are
written that those in sympathy with
reform may in future come more
readily to the support of the enter
prise.
All accounts up to the first Of March
are due the old proprietor. Bills will
be sent out Immediately, and all are
expected to be prompt in payment.
He will thus be saved expense, and it
is possible-they may also. About
$1,5OO are due the HERALD from vari-
GUS sources, and this must be at once
collected.

Wendell Phillips, the Massachusetts,
orator, has written letter, which we
print in another column, addressed to
B. F. Butler, and devoted to an eluci-
dation of the financial questions that
are agitating the country. Mr.. Phil
lips is more of theorist than prac-
tical man of business, and his views
while in some particulars good, par
take in measure of the theoretic and
impracticable. Among the latter we
may class his proposition to have the
Government loan money on real
estate security.
There is good deal of the paternal
about our Government as now admin
istered, but even the most enthusiasts
tic friend of the Administration would,
we fancy, hesitate before turning the
Treasury into an immense banking
establishment, where the needy and
greedy camp-followers of the party
that happened to be in power, could
have their political services repaid in
loans of Government greenpacks.
No, we do not need brokerage
establishment. The government is
empowered by the constitution to coin
money, and to make it legal tender.
1t is simply impossible to transact all
our immense bulk of business in coin,
even if we had it, and paper currency
is found to be necessary. This curren-
cy has been better furnished by the
Treasury than by any other agency.
Mr.. Philips plan is to have the
government issue bonds that are inter-
changeable for currency, and this por-
tion of his letter we heartily endorse.
The plan advocated by him is the
same in substance as the one 80 ably
pushed by the New York Mercantile
Journal and seconded by Judge
Kelley, B. F. Butler and others.
Stripped of all side issues It consists
in the issue Of given amount Of
bonds bearing a low rate of interest,
the holder Of which may at any time
deposit them in the Treasury and re-
ceive instead nearly their equivalent
in circulating notes. The interest OH
the bonds is to cease while they are
deposited, but at the option of the
holder, currency can be returned, and
the bonds taken up, when the interest
will begin to run.
The advantage of this plan is the
fiexibility that it gives to the cur
rency. When money is in demand tho
bonds will be deposited, and the cur
rency drawn out to supply the wants
ofbusiness men. When there is more
currency in circulation than is needed,
and it begins to accumulate at the
business centers, it will be returned to
the Treasury and exchanged for the
bonds.
If the currency thus issued is made
legal tender for all dues, public and
private, the occupation of the gam
blers who make mony by getting up
corners in gold and greenbacks, will
be gone, and we shall no more ex-
perience such state Of things as oc-
CURED last fall, when the entire bust
ness community was at the mercy ola
few spectators, and men Of undoubted
solvency, failed, because of the search
ty of currency. .n

Partisan EccentiicitieS.

\ correspondent at Paris tells the
following amusing story: A very IN
fortunate young man was pointed out
to me yesterday. He had lived III the
country till he was twenty-five years of
age, when he became his own master,
inherited a large fortune, and resolved
TO go and live in Paris. He was, how
ever, determined not to yegetate in the
capital, but to become the talk of the
town from the very first, and to signal
lze himself by some eccentricity or
other. That was an ambition easily
satisfied, since for the last few months
it has suificed for a gentleman to drive
ont daily III a sledge in order to become
the hero of Paris for a whole week.
Oar young gentleman hit upon another
idea almost as ingenious He possess
ed a very fine white newfoundland dog,
and black eat quite as handsome as
the dog. This couple led a cat-and-dog
life III every sense of the term. The
young gentleman resolved to make
peace between the two enemies, and to
become famous 10y their means. After
a few months his efforts were crowned
with success the cat would mount on
the dogs back, and the couple would
thus follow their master, at first when
he walked, and III course of time when
he rode. In the small village where
our hero resided his success was pro-
digious. He was the talk even of the
whole Department. When he felt sure
Of his two animals the young man
started for Paris, taking along with him
his horse, dog, and cat. The day after
his arrival IN town, at four III the after
noon on one of the recent fine days, he
mounted his horse, and made the cat
mount the dog, and all four started III
the direction of the Arc de Triomphe.
From the Place de la Concorde up to
the Round Point of the Champs Ely
sees their march was one of triumph
The young man, overjoyed at his sue
cess, proud OF his idea, gravely con
tInued his victorious march. for in such
cases GOODNESS Is half the battle. Alas !
the finest dreams are the first to be dis
sipated. The Round Point became the
Tarpeian Rock of the cavalier who was
mounting to the capitol Just as he
was passing IN front of the Italian Am
bassador's scavenger, jealous of his
rising fame, spOuted the water with
which he was laying the dust, against
the dog and cat. At this unexpected
attack. the dog and cat set up dismal
howl, and forgetting their role, scam
pered off in fright, one right, the other
left, before their master and teacher
had time to calm their terror. The
crowd laughed loud and long, the I'M
fortunate young man never more set
eyes on either the dog or cat. and re-
went ont.

they are very incomplete. The Japan

that the teachers are obliged frequently
to alter the subject of study. More

The Bachelor Dreams.

The world is dreary l growing old,

The wintry season cometh with its cold,
The hearth Is dark and the wind without is shrill
Yea twilight gloams around me-hope and power
Depart, like scent and color from tower
Yet, where l sit, sweet music floats to me;
It's the falling. falling of a silver shower
Around a forest tree.
All can hear the scented rain intOne?
Do listen to the leaves that stir and sigh?
Or hear but the movement and the moan
OF busy folk that hurry darkly by?
Nay for a white hand lies in mine, sweet eyes
Shine on me, and happy maiden cries,
Nay for my blood again flows fresh and fret
To the falling of the shower that signs
Around the forest tree,
And can it be so many years ago,
Since claspd her, meath the leaves, that sun
day!
And were there words of parting, words of woe
Sits she among her children far away?
Hears she the sweet and melancholy sound?
Sees shz the shining dewdrops on the ground?
Does she iutter like the leaves aud DIR am Of me
To the falling, falling OF the RAIN around
The muflnurous forest tree?
Tho city closes round me. / am old
Yet It's melody from country lanes / hear
The wintry season cometh with It's cold.
The hearth is dark and the end of all Is hear;
Yet, love, the city fadeh with its pain.

And nay life is flowing earthward fast and free

no good, while sulphate of magnesia
seemed to do harm"
The question arose whether the pure
anthracite coal ashes were better in re.
spect to their content of potash and
phosphoric acid than ordinary sand
10 get light upon this point, expert
ments quite similar to the above were
made with ordinary pit sand, such as is
common IN the neighborhood of Bos-
ton; with pure white quartz sand. such
as Is used III making flint glass, and
with New Jersey green sand mari.
The pure quartz sand was found to
contain very little nutritive materials.
while the ordinary pit sand was SUI

of potash and phosphoric acid contained

yield was obtained from the green
sand, with solution Of nitrate of pot

! This series OF experiments shows
| that, while the ashes of the Pennsyl-
wanna whlte-ash coal examined do con
tam appreciable quantities of potash
and phosphoric acid in condition fit fol
the support of plants, they are, never
theless, inferior i'll this respect to an
equal bulk of good pit sand from Mas

ali of the experiments, how readily the,
comparatively speaking, insoluble rock
phosphates of the sands are put to use

OF plant-food, provided the soil is kept

/ the importance of using II nitrogenized
manure, in order that it may produce
its proper effect in field practice.

the ashes used, and their absorptive
power was also studied.
On the whole, this series of expert
ments Is quite interesting, and 1t is to
be earnestly hoped that Investigations of

The exclusion of damp from brick

one of the most effective methods of ac-

form an insoluble varnish, which the
rain is unable to penetrate, and this
cause of dampness is thus said to be
