A London fog beats any dark
days we ever see in this country.
John w. Forney, in a late letter
from London to the Philadelphia
Press, describes a day when the
fog was so dense at noon that the
people had to light the gas and
candles. The trees and houses
were blottel out, the cabs stopped
running, and business came 10 q
pause. Silence and gloom pervad-
ed the British metropolis, even to n
greater extent than at midnight in
fair weather. Another visitation
OF the kind is described as follows:
1.-THE great fog hung like thick
veil for several days over London.
Many cattle had to be killed from
the difficulty Of breathing, which
affects every body. Many persons
persisted by walking over
the docks into the Thames and
falling down steep places, and
thousands lost their way. The
sun, whenever it is seen, is exactly
as we see it in an eclipse through
q smoked glass, and at night the
moon hangs like q red balloon,
while the lamps resemble spots OF
fire, shedding no light, yet max
ing darkness visible. The phe-
nomenon is caused by millions OF
coal fires contributing vast guam
tity of pestiferous matter, which
mingles with vapors from the
drainage, and penetrates every

PAMPHLETS.

We have from Robert Clarke three
pamphlets on the currency question.
Judging from the activity of those who
are making this subject speciality.
there seems to be well defined issue
under discussion which has not, how
ever, found distinct expression in the
platform of either of the great political
parties. This issue involves paper
money convertible into q 1855 bond, and
the bond convertible into paper money on
demand, as against paper money ulti-
mately convertible into coin and thence
forward to continue so. One party would
forever demonetize coin, while the other
would make it the basis of the currency
and the sole measure Of values.
The pamphlets comprise two on the
paper side and one ON the gold side Of
the issue. The latter is No. 1 Of the
republication of j. Stuart Milps Chap
ters ON Money and Credit from his
'.Principles of Political Economy" 1t
is entitled sThe Inexpediency of an r.
'redeemable Paper Currency" Mr.. Mill
needs no commendation as a profound
thinker. His work Ia standard authority.
The goddess side of the issue deals
with ideas that have not obtained much
advocates hold novel and original views.
They are not the less deserving of at
tention because they have not been held
by the recognized masters.
One OF the pamphlets before us on this
side Of the question is ponderous vol
ume Of 1856 pages, and Is Part Second of
an elaborate work, each part complete
In itself. The author is Nj. r. Pilon,
merchant, who has extensively studied
the currency problem. He makes no
literary pretension, but his hits are
often sharp and incisive. Its title is
"The Yanko-Sequor- and Free
Banks-Ways to Arrive at the Demon
etization Of Gold and Silver; and upon
the Establishment of Private Banks
under the Control OF the National Gov
ample banking facilities tor every city,
town and village, with both stock and
land security. He thinks coin is useless
and wasteful.
The other pamphlet sails under the
motto ga Nations Wealth for Nations
Need" The title is "Our Currency;
What it is and what it should be-" by
John G.. Drew. He handles his subject
in a style we'll calculated to strike the
attention and carry conviction to those
who have not studied the masters.
Science.-We have also pamphlet
from U. P. James, entitled "Paleontol-
ogy. Catalogue of Lower Silurian Fos-
sils of the Cincinnati Group; found .at
Cincinnati and vicinity, within circuit
of 40 or so miles. New edition, much en-
larged, with description Of some new
species of corals and polyzoa; by U. P.
James" This catalogue comprises 1868
species, all of them in the authors beau
tfful cabinet OF minerals, shells and fos-
sils. Mr.. James is devotee of science
for its own sake; thus relieving bust
ness and enlarging life by contributing to
the general stock of human knowledge
and by enjoying the rich resources
which science contributes to human
happiness. Such disinterested students
of nature are worthy of special commen-
dation.

line, regardless of her train, and the dig
nifed host pulled of his cowl, and came
to shake hands with his old friend, Paul

the announcement that the next Speaker
should be guided in the formation OF

much weight in his favor. 1t is too early
In the present complicated state OF af-

views. Should Mr.. Randall be selected
