COST OF IIVIIG.

The papers take periodical spell Of
economical invesitga cation, and are now
somewhat engaged in discussing the
"cost Of living" The times have been
well calculated to provoke inquiries Of
this sort, but so Tar not much OF pract-
.uuoeYuu,i.. E.o L..u puSSu,uoa
save the general counsel to practice
economy, and there are limits to that;
people muat eat, Dress, burn fuel, have
habitations aud educate children. In
regard to the laboring classes, one OF
the changes wrought by moderu pro-
gress is thus indicated:
There was tin when, in many
parts Of the world laboring men we're
paid in kind, that is in products, for
their work. Thus IN Pennsylvania
fifty years ago, aud even less hboriog
man working in the harvest feli re-
ceive1 bushel of wheat for days
service. II wheat was 70, 80, 80, or
100 cents bushels, it matteled not,
the bushel paid the days labor, or what
it sold for was accorded in cash. The
same rule applied to msny other
articles. Meo made contracts to ~or
for so much in kind, to be delivered
Whentbc work was done. When this state
of the labor market existed there was
no facility for delivering large quantities
Of raw or manufactured material long
distances. Iron aud wheat thea were
carried on pack following bride.
paths over the Alleghenies, and when a
road was constructed by which teams
could traverse those wilds it was regar-
ded as the greatest achievement OF the
times The cost OF living then could
be regulated with something like Ger
tainty, because mans wants were few
aud simple, and there were few mark cts
in which to "corner" any article.
This view of the matter does not al
ford much encouragement. 1t is proba-
BILE that some day there will be such au
overhauling of our financial system as
will relieve the masses from unnecessary
burdens and more equally distribute
the wealth that is accumulated by hon
est toll.

Pilot DRoWNED.-Willian Heyner,
q well known pilot ou the West Branch,
was drowned at Queens Run on Thurs.
Gay. The Lock Haven Republican
says raft which Mr.. Hevner was run
ming through the schultz at the dam,
parted in the middle, and be fell into
the water, the latter part of the raft
passing over him. He came up hold
ing on the oar blade, and ropes were
thrown to him. 1t seemed, however As
if he had lost consciousness, for he
made 10 attempt whatever to catch The
rope, and he went down to death in the
very grasp almost of those who were
near him. The body has not been
found. Squire Hevner was an old
riverman, having been engaged thereon
for at least forty years. Dir. Hevner
was known to several persons in this
sity.

The FINANCIAL pRoBLEM.--The
Pittsburg Gazette in referring to the
financial prospect OF the future says;
The United States Treasury seems, at
last, likely TO experience the effect Of
the strain to reduce the currency bal
ances to very low point. There is
serious danger that it will not be able
to meet its engagements during the
present month. Ii this should occur,
perhaps Secretary Bristow will open his
eyes TO the absurdity Of the policy he is
attempting to follow. The plan of with
drawing currency, and straining toward
specie resusl pton has Frustrated the in
dostries of the country, aud while Con-
gress has lcgislatcd to save the United
States Treasury from the embarrass-
ment Of such course, the pressure is
begizniDg 90 be felt. That it must
come, sooner or later, unless the coun-
try is drained to supply the demands ct
the Treasury, is evident. We have not
the gold with which 20 resume; hence.
every pressure put on the business of
the country to force it to resume specie
payments, really pushes it toward bank.
ruptcy. As this becomes more and
more ps'pable, the Treasury will feel it
the more evidently. 1t is rather sur
prising that 50 soon after Congress had
specially lesislAted to save the United
States Treasury from the effect Of its
, own policy, it should fall into the very
difficulties that have been pointed out
as sure to come, at some time. But
this only proves that the country is
more exhausted than vas supposed, aud
that restorative policy cannot be safely
