LEGAL TENDER NOTES.

THE PEOPLE STAND BEHIND THEM.
WENDELL PHILLIPS AYERS THAT THE EXPE.
RIENCE OF BUSINESS HAS SETTLED 1T THAT
THROUGHOUT CHRIsTENDoM THE CURRENCY
MUST BE PAPER, AND THAT 1T IS IDLE TO
TALK ABUT SPECIE BASIS TO-DAY.
The New York Herald of Saturday lays
before the public letter from the Hon.
Wendell Phillips to Mr.. Eugene sBeebe,
secretary OF the Legal Tender Club. It gives,
in clear and concise form, that gentleman's
views upon the financial question and will
interest and instruct the Sentinel's readers.
Here is what he says: appreciate the great
importance of your agitation to prevent
further contraction of the currency, and am
sorry shall not be able to attend your
meeting in September. 1t seems to me there
are but two questions to be considered
touching the currency: First-Upon.w what
basis shall it rest? Second-How much OF
it shall we have? A long time ago there
might have been third-of what shall il
be made, gold and silver or
paper? But the experience of busi-
inquiry and settled il beyond recall, that
throughout Christendom the currency must
be paper. It is idle to talk TO-DAY os q specie
basis. That gentle hallucinatiol. has peen
encouraged to quiet timid mer and de-
lude the masses. But the thing itself has not
really existed for fifty or hundred years.
Great Britain, where, il anywhere, such ba-
sis could be maintained, has to-day fifty
cents of coin to 500 of paper. Patterson,
Science of Finance, PIP. 6, 6, %, %, 81, 3S. Ed
inburgh, 1861 Any individual may have
that fifty cents, provided he does not need
it, and provided there is no special reason
why he should have il. If at any
time his business absolutely requires
that ne should have that fifty cents
OF coin, at that time he can not have it. A
specie basis of fifty cents coin to support
500 paper. It reminds me of that Irish six
bottle topper who always sat down to drink
with small bit of strawberry at the bottom
OF his wine glass and kept it there through
the evening-"It gave SO fine q flavor to the
winer" Doubtless that fifty cents coin
gives strong specie favor to the vast sys-
teIa of British paper and makes Bull feel
warm and comfortable. Political economy
settles very few points by theorizIng. Now
and then experience decides question, and
it passes into accepted aud undeniable truth.

protest now against forcing contraction and
resumption to the prostration of all business
and the ruin of all debtors. An enthuslas
tic democrat, suffering from the effect of
zweio-lsger, gradually backed himself up on
the stand, getting directly in front of Mr..
Pendleton, and almost on mis- feet. Mr.. PEN
dleton gently took him by the shoulders and
slipped him off the stand and on to his feet.

around and looked full at MIR. p:

Mr.. Pendleton-"Yes, my friend, know

and applause.]

had got upon the stand, and stood close be-

him on the elbow. "Are you tbrough~

some common end with a mirror which.
instead of being 100 feet, is considerably
over 1000 feet in diameter. 1t is swung
on gimbals or gigantic supporters in such
way as to turn in any desired direction,
and seems to serve many purposes, or at
least to be able to serve them. 1t is con-
cave, and from the fact that it is generally
turned in such direction that its ravs
strike over an enormous field of what
seems to be growing grain, il seems evil
dent that it is used to concentrate the
rays of the sun in such a way as to rem.
der possible the growth of crops on the
moon, which is cold and in most
places barren, as il has hitherto
been supposed to be in all places. What
hot-house is in winter on the earth the
mirror OF the lunar men is to them, save
that it supplies them with food by con.
centrating the rays Of light and heat and
throwing them upon the fields. Az it
turns, often nearly unbearable light
like that of the sun has been thrown on
the eyes of the observer, so that at times
he is forced to observe with colored
glass over the object-glass of his instru-
ment. He describes the men as looking
like colony of gigantic miners living in
huts, upon which, at stated hours hence

mirror are concentrated on what looks
like black earth, perhaps with the pur-
pose OF warming it and making it suita-

at such times the rays of the mirror
turned directly upon them, not slantingly
as on the grain, b. directly, so that they

Lastnai-Coreau's opinion that these are
convicts or men who for some reason
have been banshed from the warmer and
mere habitable lunar hemisphere as to a
sort of Siberia, where they must work
out their own purposes and live only
through their own incalculable exertions.
IL this superstition be correct, it shows
that on that portion Of the lunar surface

Arrested for Murder.

The most of our readers in the eastern
end Of the county know Martin Broad,
who is now in the Easton Jail on a charge
of murder lodged against him by young
man named William Henry The partic-
ulars of the alleged murder, as related by
the accuser, are as follows Six or seven
years ago, when Henry was about fourteen
years of age, as he was one day on the road
to visit an uncle at Delaware Station, he
was met by Martin Broad, the accused, in
a blackboard wagon, drawn by grey horse.
Upon coming up to the lad Broad asked
him to 90 along to Belvidere, and the boy
complied. Toward evening they crossed
at Hartzell's ferry to the Pennsylvania
shore, and on the road up, when opposite
Delaware Station, they came upon stran-
ger carrying lantern in the woods. Henry
then says that Broad gave him the lines
and getting out of the wagon struck the
man blow, which blow he believes resulted
in the death of the attacked. Henry fur
ther says that before Broad returned to the
wagon he heard some steps i'll the woods,
but no noise or quarrel between the men,
and saw only the lamp the strander was
CARRYING "go over" After the deed Broad
returned to the wagon and the pair went on
to Portland, the lad remaining over night
at Broad's house, and receiving as reward
for his silence pair of boots.
The above is the story on which the ar
rest was made. Henry is about twenty
years of age, and has latterly had his home
with farmer named Tinsman, residing in
Hope, n. j. About year ago he lived
with William Decker, residing at Blairs-
town, to whom he told the same story, and
also repeated it to few others. Last
Thursday Decker was in Portland, when
lie rehearsed to several what the young
man had told him, and at their solicitation
he was induced to go before Justice and
make affidavit to the statement. A consta-
BILE was then sent for Henry and on Friday
morning, shortly after midnight, he was
found living with a Mr. Tinsman and
brought to Portland Here he repeated his
story, and it was embodied in an affidavit,
and warrant issued for Martin Broad s
arrest. Officers proceeded to Broad's home
at Oxford Furnace, n. j., where he was
arrested. When accused and accuser were
brought face to face, the latter repeated
the charge as he had told others, and the
former denied the accusation and asserted

The London Cat Show.

1t would not seem possible that there is
sufficient interest in the manner in Eng
land, in these busy times, to aid in the
breeding and training of cats. But, never
theless, such is the case, and the fact that
the annual cat show at the Crystal Palace,
London, this year attracted some five thous-
and pussies shows it. Miss Pussey is in
high favor in London, and every household
shelters one or two and sometimes half
dozen. So much care and love being de-
voted to cats III London it is not surprising
that the efforts of the Crystal Palace au-
thorities to improve the breed, as well as
to encourage the kind treatment Of the ami
mails, should be successful. Each cage con-
tanned a cushion for pussey, little saucer
filed with milk, etc, while the prize cats
were distinguished by blue flag hung from
the top.
Some idea of the enterprise of the au-
thorities at the palace may be gathered from
the fact that about one hundred and thirty
prizes were offered for competition, from
five pounds to fifteen shillings, while marks
of distinction, which are equally coveted,
such as every highly commended" ;" are also
awarded. The best tabby cat received a
silver cup, for which there were thirty-six
contestants. The fortunate animal was
Master Shuckard's Tommy Dodd," aged
nine years, and valued at $500 the winner
of the second prize was also held at the
same amount, while the value attached to
others in the same class was never below
S25. Miss Short-house's cat, ''aged un-
known, possessed tabular pedigree for six
generations" and valued by its owner at
$50, 900 but in face of these substantial
arguments Miss SIS favorite only high

were magnificent creatures, graceful in their
furs shining with gloss resembling the rich

was about sixteen and half pounds One
of the prizes was for the ''heaviest cat in
the show, and this was won by speci-
men weighing "a few ounces over eighteen
pounds. Few of the pussies showed bad
tempers the exceptions were among the
black cats, which seemed discontented Very
different was the conduct of the long haired
Angora species, with their splendid coats
white as snow, their pink eyes, and fiery
appearance, forming one of the most inter
esting features.

Farmers and Fast Horses.

Facts prove it. Prove what ? That
farmers have no business with fast trotting
horses, that it is slow death pecuniarily
(though morally it is not so slow for any
farmer to get fast horse on the brain. We
wonder if the horsemen among the Execu-
tive Committee of the State Agricultural
Society have ever seen the effects or
weighed the results, where one, two, or
more farmers have constructed trotting
course in some fine field and are in the
habit of resorting there daily to quicken
the PAGES of horses which ought to be
doing duty on the farm as we'll as their
drivers. If they have they have seen
business stopped, steady habits broken up
and restless craving for excitement, at war
with the quiet puresuits of husbandry, a
regular assembling of idle men and boys :;
they have seen all this, to say nothing of
the worse than loss of time, neglect of bust
ness, and Generalization, and for what :?
Where is the equivalent for all these risks,
this expenditure of time and money on
equipments Where does the compensa-
ton to the farmer come in? Come, let US
approach the question directly We hold
that ''speed, as it is now understood, has
never added one dollar to the capital of
the country, that it does not give one
dollar additional value to horse for
any purpose except racing, and now
will Mr. Green, Superintendent of Races
at the State Fair, OF any other fast horse
man, tell us wherein lies the good, the
benefit to community or the State, from
the breeding and training of horses that
may be drilled into going mile in two
minutes and forty seconds ?-Detroit
