MISCELLANY.

A COOP TINE TO BUILD.-Never was
there better time to build, for those who
have the means, than now, as buildings can
now be put up at one-thrd less cost than a
year ago, or perhaps, year to come. Those
who have means at command would find it
much to their advantage to improve real es-
tate in this way. The price of brick is very
low ard workmeu can be had, and arc anxious
to have an opportunity, at very moderate
Wages. There has not been such favorable
time for putting up buildings in years The
investment would yield large percentage
and at the same time would be hailed as rare
benevo'ence to give employment to many who
need it. We know of several handsome brown
stone front buildings, in large city, that
were erected by lady of wealthat time of
distress among workmen, just to give them
employment. Her funds were finely and
prolitably invested, and those walls are point
ed out as monuments of her generosity.

THE EGG SHELL AS A HEALER The white
of an egg has proved the most efficacious
remedy for burns. Seven or eight successive
applications of this substance soothe the pain
and elfcctually exclude the burn from the air
This simple remedy seems preferable to col
lodion or even cotton. Extraordinary stories
are told of the healing properties of new
oil which is made from the yolk of hens eggs.
The eggs are first boiled hard, the yolks are
then removed, crushed and placed over fire,
where they are carefully stirred until the
whole substance is just on the point of catch
fire, when the oil separates and may be
poured off. 1t is in general use among the
colonists of Southern Russia as means OF
curing cuts, bruises and scratches.

dustries. We are now at the bottom of the
hill. We have been ecOnomizing during
the past year, and paying our debts. We
are now ready to take new departure,
and the important question to be deter
mined is whether it shall be from true or
false basis. Shall we launch out into a
new era of speculation and indulge in
period of initiation Of money and stocks and
prices of subsistence, in which our labor
system shall operate at a disadvantage, or
shall we progress upon the basis Of the
real money standard of the world?
This is the question now presented to
Congress. Labor is plenty and seeking
employment at coin prices. Shall it be
still further cheapened, and the people dis
tressed by remuneration in currency Of
inadequate purchasing power? Is not this
the oppOrtune moment for the arrange
ment for a sound currency upon a perma-
ncnt basis? This may easily be done by
coupling together provisions for the re-
demption of legal-tender notes in coin and
free banking, TO take effect simultaneously at
some specific date in the future. This would
practically make our whole currency gold
notes, but the system could be operated
like that of Great Britain with the handling
of but little coin. Our greenbaoks would
take the place here, and subserve the pur-
pose which the notes OF the Bank of Eng
land occupy in Great Britain. They are
a legal tender everywhere but at the coun-
ter of the bank, where they are redeemed
in coin. With all the uses we have for
greenbacks no very large amount could be
withdrawn from circulation at any one
time for the purpose OF making a run upon
the Treasury. This may be effected by
July 4, 1876.
When redemption is reached, the legal
tender question at once dwindlcs into in
significant importance. With redemption
as a condition precedent, legal tender re-
peal would lie a natural result, and the
naming of a future specified date for all
these provisions to take effect would en-
able all TO conform their contracts 10 the

TIP TITPPFNCY OTFSTTON

The great difficulty in the way of arriy-
ing at the solution of the financial problem
arises from the diverse opinions of such
Legislators as have any opinions upon the
subject. In such cases there is but one
course TO pursue. Each and all parties
must yield something of their wishes for
the general good. The country is par
alyzed by the uncertainty which now
hangs over all financial affairs. There is
no fixed policy for the future. Since the
panic of 1878 the whole country has been
practicing economy individually as we'll as
collectively. New railways have been
checked in their progress, and one result
has been q large decrease in the demand
for iron, and another a great diminution
Of active employment for the laborer All
other new enterprises have been nippcd in
the bud by the frosts of distrust and eau
tioD.
As a consequence We have seen people
living frugally, either from necessity or
from choice Old clothes have been made
to do a second turn of service. All waste
Of food has been carefully guarded against.
SUperluitics have in a great measure been
dispensed with, and costly presents and
trips TO Europe and the watering places
have been by many abandoned.
These events have had the effect to
check manufactures at home and importa-
tiOns from abroad and a visible diminution
in the customs revenues has been the re-
suit. The internal revenues being chiefly
derived from spirits, fermentcd liquors.
tobacco and stamps, have been less seri-
Ously affected, as these sources of revenue
always seem TO thrive best in times of gen
cTal depression. Man, the most gifted and
intelligent Of the animal kingdom, rather
illOgically, perhaps, seems most inclined to
reverse the design Of his Creator by cloud
ing his intellect with resort to the bowl
and the pipe at those very moments when
he is in the greatest need Of clear vision
and cool judgment. Hence our internal
revenues have not been materially lessened.
But stocks of imported goods and of home
manufacturers are pretty well depleted. Con-
sumption is now daily increasing, and the
demand for supplies of all kinds of machin-
u y anu duulsSLAACo Will oOOA improve
1t is reasonable to believe that with q fixed
financial policy, judiciously arranged and
inaugurated by Congress at the present ses-
sion, We may look for full return of pub
lie confidence and a revival of business
when the spring opens. With these will
come an augmentation of the customs reve-
nues and the wonted activity of all our in
