the country should be increased so as
to pay the current expenses, provide
for the sinking fund required by law,
and also a surplus to be retained in the
Treasury in gold. / am not believer
in any artificial method of making pa
per money equal to coin when coin is
not owned or held ready to redeem the
promises to pay; for paper money is
nothing more than promises to pay, and
is valuable exactly in proportion to the
amount of coin that it can be converted
into. While coin is not used as a cir
culating medium, or the currency of
the country is not convertible into it at
par, it becomes an article of
commerce as much as any other product.
The surplus will seek foreign market,
as will any other surplus. The balance
of trade has nothing to do with the
question. The duties on imports, be-
ing required in coin, create limited
demand for gold, and about enough to
satisfy that demand remains in the
country. To increase this supply see
no way open but by the Government
boarding, through the means above
given, and possibly by requiring the
national banks to aid. 1t is claimed by
the advocates of the measure herewith

tribution of the banking capital of the
country. was disposed to give great
weight to this view of the question at

to this, that the States having less, that

all taken up, or when specie pay

Liquor In Russia.

In some parts of Russia a strong
temperance movement is now on foot.
In the month of January last, forty
eight village communities in the dis
trict of Mohilew adopted stringent
regulations in regard to taverns or
drinking saloons. By these enact
ments it was made an offense to buy or
sell liquor on credit or in exchange for
other articles, or to loiter in drinking
saloon. In the district of Pensa, some
two hundred villages have resolved that
no inns or drinking saloons shall be
erected on any soil belonging to the
peasants. In consequence of these
regulations many saloon keepers have
been prosecuted and sentenced to
undergo punishment.

STATISTICS SHOW that of the thousands

STATISTICS SHOW that OF the thousands
who die annually, large proportion
are destroyed, not by old age, or by the
natural exhaustion of vitality, but
through intemperance, or disregard
either on the part of the sufferer, or his
parents, of the simplest laws of nature.
Such being the case-and figures can
not naisrepreseat Jacts-the conclusion
is that were the causes of intemperance,
its kindred vices, and a disregard of
natural laws, removed, the average
length of the human lifetime would be
extended proportiunately. What agent
most rapidly, harn1JeSSly and certainly
will eradicate these vices, or the ten
dency to them, is the question which
has been as thoroughly and persistent
ly agitated as has the search for the

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or Inflammation of the
bronchial tubes which carry the air we breathe
into the lungs. 1t arises from a cold settled in
the throat, from Catarrh extending to these
parts, from scrofulous affections, and from
severe use of the voice. The irritation from
the latter cause commences in the ldr31ar and
CLOTHS, which are the organs of the voice, and,
extending downwards, produces hoarseness,
coughing, and splitting mucous matter, some
times mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly danger
GUS from its tendency to spread into the lungs,
and terminate in consumption. 1t is in the cure
of severe and obstinate cases of this disease
that DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery has
achieved unparalleled success and won the
loudest praise from all who have used it,

is clearing up new farm, has been
troubled with large number of big
oak stumps. He had heard that salt
petre was good for stumps. Accord
ingly, about couple Of months ago
he sprinkled on the top of each stump
about a tablespoonful of pulverized
saltpetre. A few days ago he set fire
to these stumps and says they COM
menced and continued to burn until
every stump was totally consumed,
roots and all, that he was able to
plough without the least difficulty over
the very gound formerly occupied by
these large stumps. He says some OF
the stumps burned for four or five
days. Farmers, try the Doctors rem

Doctor also says, that if your cabbage

bugs, you can save every one of them by
sprinkling them lightly with Cayenne

now SHE WAS QUIETED.

Friday evening a woman about
thirty years old was arrested in the
Westeren district for disturbing the
peace, and the event almost distracted
her, although she had seen the inside
of cell before. She began bowling
and weeping as soon as she was locked
up, and Bijah, the janitor Of the Ninth
avenue station, felt his heart getting
tender. He offered her a harvest ap-
pie, but she merely stopped long
enough TO see what It was, and then
went on crying out: 81 am dying, l
know I amp" He besought her to live
for the sake of her husband, who is
away on the lakes, but she said she
would be cold in death before morn
ing if not set at liberty. He showed
her the almanac and tried to induce
her to peruse it and settle her mind,
but she tried to pull his hair through
the bars, and raised her voice until it
could be heard two blocks away. lie
began reading the almanac out loud,
but she drowned his voice, and he had
to give up. Then he went out and
bought some peppermint drops and
handed to her, saying that it was a
burning shame to arrest lady like
her for merely hitting another woman
on the ear with a shovel. She was
quiet for a few minutes and then
broke out again, and the roof of the
station seemed to be raising up. Biiah
offered her a pound of gum drops, a
new bonnet, black silk dress, house
and lot, and $4,000 in bonds if she
would only quit, but she danced up
and down and yelled, "Lemme eout or
