'"The name of Dr. R v. Pierce, of Buff falo, N. Y., has become as familiar to the people all over the country, as household words.

theoFist can be expected to comprehend the vast interests of those 10000, 900 of people, set by God to subdue the COnti- nent, dot the cities and bind the ocean in marriage by iron roads. The Continent IS yet giant in swaddling clothes. The grand work and destinies of our people refuse to be cablned in the sixpe0ny meth ods of small, fully developed States and their financial usages of 200 years ago.
 To-day our distress is too bitter for idle speculations. The labor of the land sweats under debt of some twelve or fourteen thousand millions of dollars (national. State, city, railway and mort gage debts), drawing at least seven per cent interest on the average.
 4 THE GREED OF CAPITAL forces the government into one pathway: starving labor clamors to have it move otherwise; confidence gone. widespread bankruptcy crippling business, stocks de- preciating, real estate unstable. In this dread winter before us how will the savings banks stand the demands up. on them?
 Instead of this hairsplitting of old theo- ries, practical statesmanship uses the wis esOAA4 CA ARCAAOuCCs ACoAuo OuE OWu war policy, profits by the glorious exam pie France sets us, and by using all mod ern expedients as she did, turns disaster into opportunity, setting hand, spindle, steam engine and sail all at work, pouring content and plenty through all our chan nels. It disdains, as France did, to yield to unmaniy fear and shriek "Wolf, wolfl'' from the watch tower; but. with the crles of ''Victoryl" and ''Forwardr' from the head of the ranks, pours confidence into every heart and makes the success we prophecy.
 It is poor government, and they are but sorry leaders who stand up to whine before the people while even at our doors and at this very time and year other lands show us the safe path out of all trouble and how to plant ourselves on solid ground. Talleyrand safe, "everybody is wiser than anybody" and the plain com mon sense of the people will yet save us from this ''much learning which makes our statesman ''mad."

IhirI-I argued in my speech that the emission of large quantities of irredeema- ble paper money will promote extrava- gance, profigacy and corruption. My his- torical reading as we'll as my own obser- vation of these things in this country had convinced me profoundly of this fact, and, as far as know, it is admitted by almost all respectable authorities on this sub ject Mir. Phillips came gallantly to the rescue of his paper idol. He refers me to Great Britain, telling me that without irredeemable paper money England could not have conquered Napoleon that pa-
 per notes fought the battle of Waterloo and that our late war tells the same story.

There is g country called France, whicf had an irredeemable money, called As sjgnats," which became so plenty that [ bushel of it would not buy potato.
 There is country called Russia anC one called Austria. both of which have had experience with irredeemable pape1 money, demonstrating the same principle Mir. Phillips has probably heard of these things. but there is evidently q vast fielt of study for him before he writes on thil subject again.

Lord HUNTINGTON.

Lord Huntington, the newly elected Lib raj
leader in England, is said to be the most thor
oughly Independent man alive. The remark ap-
plies to his sentiments as well as to his
wealth. True, he is heir to the Dukedom of De.
vonshlre, and will, when he comes to his own, be
the wealthiest man in the kingdom. His father
now has prosperous Irish estates, fat agricultural
lands IN England, rich iron mines in Lancashire,
two or three watering places, and the manufac-
turing town Of Keighley.
A correspondent says of the young marquis that
The went into politics, it is supposed, not because
he cared any hing about such things, but because
1t seemed to be the right thing for Cavendish
to do, and his father wanted him. The ordinary
impression is, that he is ready for anything if it
comes in his way, but has no strong procl;vities
or prepossessons, and that he would Just as soon
be at Newmarket as IN Downing street or in the
hunting he as on the front bench of the House
Of Commons.
Still, whatever he does, he does thoroughly,
and with certain ready tact and nicely. and he

him when he vi tied the United States during

is. One evening he attended a ball. and An en-
thuslastlc Southern girl pinned $ bonnie blue
nag TO the lapel of his coat The other side
waited upon him and asked that he remove it.
This he refused to do, as he had keen SYM
pathy with the Confederacy and thought that he
was bound to stand by his partner and defend
her colors.

Stealing a NeWsDaDer.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times writes: "The american Register has
just had an adventure, which is probably
unique in the history of journalism. A dis
honest employee tried to steal the journal
Two editions are published, one for London
and one for Paris, and the London business
clerk took it into his head to appropriate the
former. He got up paper called the Ameri-
can Traveller, fac-simile of the Register in
everything but this one word, and which
would deceive any one when folded upon the
newsstand
"He copied all the advertisements, and then
called upon the advertisers to read a letter
from the proprietor, as he alleged which
said that the Register was to be withdrawn in
favor OF the journal which he exhibited
Many of the advertisers were taken in, as
this man had long been dealing with them
for the Register. Fortunately. the plot was
discovered in time. The owner of the off ce
Of the Register, which had been appropriated
for the new paper, happened to be news
paper man, and when the dishonest clerk
was kicked out of doors he helped to expose
the audacious game. The curious part OF
the affair is that it came very near succeed
ing. 1t is the first time l ever heard Of try
ing to steal a newspaper"

In Il case before Mr.. Woolrych at the West
minister Police Court the other day, q man
named Leonard, who had offered himself as
a witness, informed the magistrate that he
did not believe in God. Mr.. Woolrych
asked him if he meant that he was an atheist
Leonard replied III the affirmative. He did
not believe in future state of rewards or
punishments. The witness then made an
affirmation, as in the case of the Society of
Friends, but Mr.. Woolrych. after looking into
the act Of Parliament, said, although some
persons objected to be sworn from conscien-
tious motives and he was allowed to take their
affirmation it did not apply to the case of
an atheist, and he should therefore reject the
evidence of the witness. Leonard afterwards
came back to the court with copy of the act
Of Parliament. and protested against the
magistrates being an arbiter between Wit
ness and the law. He submitted that he had
perfect right to give evidence. Mr.. Wool
rych said there was a higher authority than
the law; there was a paramount principle in
our law that a man who was an atheist was
not competent to be witness in court of
justice. He therefore should not hear the
applicant

It is stated upon the authority of "pri-
vate letter " from Washington that Lcgan's
big speech on the Louisiana question has
already had circulation of half million
copies, and that the demand continues to in
crease. We don't doubt it. There was never
another speech like it. and there probably
never will be. It is strange and unique
mosaic, formed by arranging parts Of speech
as nouns and verbs and propositions and
pathological nondescripts were never before
arranged. 1t is the herald of linguistic
millennium, when singular nous and plural
verbs shall lie down together and little
conjunction shall lead them. The great mis-
take OF Logan's life was that he didn't get
that speech patented. d. Worcester (Mass.)

HOW A WOMAN POSTS A LETTER.

| Any day when you have time you can see
how she does it by dropping into the post
| office. She arrives there with the letter in her
| hand. 1t is sheet of note inclosed in white
envelope. She halts in front of the stamp
window, opens her mouth to ask for a stamp,
but suddenly darts away and looks at the let
| ter to see If she made any errors in names OF
dates. 1t takes her five minutes to make sure
| OF this. and then she balances the letter on
her finger and the awful query arises in her
mind: perhaps it is overweight" She steps
to the window and asks the clerk if he has a
three cent stamp, fearing that he hasn't, and
she looks over every compartment of her
portemonnaie before she finds the change TO
pay for it.
The fun begins as she gets the stamp. She
slides around 10 one side; removes her gloves,
closely inspects the stamp, and hesitates
whether to lick it on or wet her finger. She
finally concludes that it wouldn't be nice to
show her tongue, and she vets her finger and
passes it over the envelope. she is so long
picking up the stamp that the moisture
IS absorbed, and the stamp slides off the
envelope. She tries it twice more with
the same success, and then, getting des-
perate, she gives the stamp lick and
it sticks Then comes tho sealing Of the
letter. She vets her finger again, but the
envelope flies open, and after five minutes
delay, she has to pass her tongue along the
streak Of dried mucilage. She holds the let
ter long time to make sure that the envelope
is all right, and finally appears at the window
and asks:
''Ihree cents is enough is it,"
"Yes, ma'am."
"And this will go out today"
Certainly"
"Wlll 1t 80 to Chicago without the name Of
the county on it,"
''Just the same"
"What time will it reach there?"
Tomorrow morning."
She signs, turns the letter over and over,
and finally asks:
Shall l drop it into one of those places
there"
"Yes, ma'am.' ..-.
She walks up in front of the six orifces
through which letters fail upon the table,
closely scans each one of them, finally makes
! choice, and drops-no. she doesn't. She !
stops to see where it will fall, pressing her
face against che window until she fiattens her
nose out of shape, and she doesn't drop it |
INTO the place she meant to. She however, |
releases it at last, looks down to make sure that
t did not fall on the floor, and turns away
