SILVER FRACTIONAL COINS The
gold price of silver bullion has become
so cheap that the fractional silver COINS
of the United States are not worth any
more in gold than greenbacks. 1t is
now suggested as desirable that VIC have
silver fractional coins put in circulation,
instead of the postal currency, and thus
make beginning in specie resumption.
Tie low price of silver in Europe promi-
ses to be permanent. In this connec-
tion two new silver coins for Immediate
circulation are talked of as very likely
to be authorized at the next session of
Congress, one a twelve-and- -a-half-cent
piece, and the other tweuty-cent piece.
An attempt was made at the last session
of Congress to get the last mentioned
coin authorized, and the rscommenda-
tion was favorably reported upon, but
through the hurry at the close of the
session the bill was neglected and not
acted upon.

The Democrats will not "realize" on
their recent gains Of congressman, Civ
ing them a majority OF forty or fifty in
the House, until December a year, as
the FIRST session of the Forty-fourth
Congress will not convene until that
time. They will be powerlesS to carry
through any political measures, as the
Republicans retain a majority in the
Senate, which cannot be changed be-
fore March, 1877, when the next presi-
dental term will commence. 1t is likely
the Democrats of the next House will
devote their attention to making politi-
cal capital for the Presidential cam
paign, by all manner of Investigations
into the good, bad and indifferent acts
of the in party, power. But this fact
which appears to be generally under
stood-will nc. doudt.impose on Republi-
cans at the coming session the duty of
setting their political household in order
conduting public affairs with prudence
unloading.-PiHs6urgh Telegraph

History REpEAPING ITsELF.-ln
1910 the Democrats were swept out OF
power as by whirlwind; and yet in
1914 they elected their Presidential can
didate, Polk, over the great Heory Clay
In 1852 the Democrats elected Pierce
by the electoral votes Of all the States
except four; but in 1853 their party
began to break up and, narrowly escap-
ing defeat in 1856, it was scattered
to the winds in 1860. In 1872 General
Grant was reelected by the electoral
voters of all the States except six, with
two-thirds OF each house OF Congress to
back him, and yet in 1874 we have
something very much like the reaction
airy whirlwind of 1910, and upon SINH
lar issues.-N. Y. Herald.

A prominent New York physician lately
complained to Dundas Dick, about his Sad
dalwood Oil Capsulas, stating that some
times they cured miraculously; bnt that a
patient Of his had taken them for sometime
without effect. On being informed that
several limitations were made and sold, he
inquired and found that his patient had
been taking capsula ssoid in bottles, and not
DUNDAS DICK & cos.
What happened to this physician may have
happened to others, and 'DUNDAS DICK &
CO., take this method of prot tecting "0il of
Sandalwood" from this disrepute.
PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the
Capsulas will CONTINUE TO Do so. for
they contain the PURE OIL in the BEST
AND CHEAPEST form.
OIL Of SANDLEWOOD is fact super
seding every other remedy, sixty Cspsules
ONLY being required TO insure a safe and
certain cure in six or eight days. From
no other medicine can this result be had.
DICKS SOFT CAPSULES solve the prob
lem long considered by many eminent ply
sicians, of how to avoid the nausea and dis
gust experienced in swallowing, which are
well known to detIact from, if not destroy,
the good effects Of many valuable remedies.
Soft Capsules ale put up in tin-foil and
neat boxes, thirty in each, and are the
only capsules prescribed by Physicians.

Washington, November 6.-The
fact that the Democracy control the Or
ganization Of the next House of Rep
resentiyes has brought into active labor
large number of candidates for various
positions to be filed by the majority Of
that body, The amount Of patronage,
however, is so small and The applicants
30 numerous that the prospects OF q
large number being disappointed are
quite strong. The places tc be filed
are as follows: The Clerk of the House
hss forty-seven persons on his rolls; the
scrgean t-at-arms and three door-keepers,
twenty-six; and postmaster ten. There
nre twenty-eight committee clerks.
Total, one hundred and fourteen, which
will enable the Democratic House to re-
ward three Democrats in each State of
the Union.

Washington, November The presi-
dent, since the results of the election
have become known, has expressed him
self freely with his intimate friends on
the causes producing such revulsion
in the popular verdict, In his opinion
the Democrats are as much surprised
at their overwhelming successes as the
Republicans. He was not prepared Tor
such crushing party defeat, and don't
think any act of his contributed. The
Republican Congress alone is response
be. The great element Of discord in
the Republican party was the attempt
to force upon the people Summers Civil
Rights bill. The President opposes,
and if Congress passes on the Civil
Rights Bill next session no will veto it.
He believes the Republicans will be
triumphant in 1876. He will probably
give his views ip his December me ssage

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IL, 1874.

In Virginia, lately, an eagle pouuced
on young lady, fixed his talons in her
hair, and flew off-with about ten
pounds of jute. This incident will un-
doubtedly be used by the ladies as an
excuse for wearing snch enormous CHG
mons; but is it right, is it fair, to deceive
a poor bird in that way. Imagine the
feelings Of that proud American bird
when it alighted in the nest Of i's
young with keen appetites, and found
no girl attached to that bunch of lair.

TEE NAN TEAT DEFEATED BUTLEE

u
MIR. Charles P. Thompson, the man
who has made himself immoral by de-
feating Butler, seems to be most de-
sirable kind of man to have in Congress
He made speech at a jubilation meet
ing il Gloucester on Wednesday night
and in it uttered these Enthusiastically
sound ideas:
81 stand now as no partisan. I am not
the servant of the Democratic party; |
am not the servant of the Republican
party. | shall advocate those measurers,
that | believe to be for the common
good. shall never advocate principle
upon party grounds. 1 shall be unwor-
thy of the confidence that has been
placed in me if understand what the
Democratic party meant when they put
me in nomination, which was that |
should carry out those principles which
| believed to be risht-that | should
serve my country first, and by serving
my country | know l can best serve my
party. In this canvass there are some
important questions. One of them is
the financial question. ! know that my
Republican friends who voted for me
did so because | was sound upon that
question. You may ask me if l am in
favor of the eolored man. l answer, yes,
l am in favor of the white man aud the
oolored man. l believe they are both
entitled to equality of rights and an
equality of duties. | would not go for
law that would discriminate in favor
of a white man or black man. want

MIR. Lescher, Of Pottsville, Pa, is
the latest dying exemplfcation of the
benefits of life insurance. On the 10th

the next day he was wayaid, murdered
and robbed If that dosen't encourage
the public into insuring, them there is
no faith to be reposed in dodgers and

WET BooTs.-What an amount OF
discomfort wet boots entail, and how well
We all recall the painful efforts We have
now and then made to draw on a pair of
hard baked ones which were put by the
FIRE overnight to dry! Once on, they
are sort of modern stocks, detructive
of all comfort, and entirely demoralizing
to the temper, The following plan, it
is said will do away with this discom-
fort:
When the boots are taken off, fill
them quite full with dry oats. This
grain has a great fondness for damp,
and will rapidly absorb the least vestige
of it from the wet leather. rs it
quickly and completely takes up the
moister, it swells aud fills the boot with
a tightly fting last, keeping its form
good, and drying the leather without
hardening it. In the morning, shake
out the oats and hang them in a bag
near the fire to dry, ready for the next
wet night draw on the boots, and 90
happily and comfortably about the days

No less than $4,000 Southern claims
have been presented to the commission
at Washington, and only 5,254 have
been adjusted thus far, leaving over
10000 to be passed upon. TO pay these
claims the handsome sum of over ten
millions OF dollars was required, and to
pay the balance it will take fifty mil
lions. Now, that the Democrat have
got control Of congress, We may expect
to see more of these little bills come roll
ling in.

DIPTHERIA is prevailing as an cpl
demic in New York city. Last week
no less than fifty five persons died OF it.
This disease has become singularly pre-
valent in New York during the last ff-
teen years, prior to which it was SO rare
that few physicians had ever seen a
case OF it. The causes are understood
to be foul air and bad drainage, or pre-
cisely the causes which produce typhoid
fever. 1t is, however, more contagious
than the latter disease, and it is proba-
Bile that & large proportion of the cases
recently reported originated from conta-
gion rather than from the poison de-
veloped by decaying organic matter.
