MIR. GEORGE HILLARD, Of, Boston,
gives us words OF gold in the following
extract 81 confess" says he, "that
increasing years brings with them an
increasing respect for men who do rot
succeed in life, as those words are COM
monty used. Heaven has been said to
be a place for those who do not succeed
upon earth; and it is surely true that
celestial graces do not best thrive and
bloom in the hot blaze of worldly pros
perity. Ill success sometimes arises
from q superabundance of qualities in
themselves good-from conscience too
sensitive taste too fastidious. self
forgetfulness too romantic, a modesty
too retiring. do not go 80 far as to
say with living poet that the world
knows nothing of its greatest men, but
there are forms of greatness, or at least
of excellence, which die and make no
sign ; there are martyrs that miss the
palm but not the stake heroes without
the laurel, and conquerers without the
crown"

been well, however, had this decision

tune, lives very simply in retired
street of Paris, with studio OF one
story occupied entirely as his artist
workshop, but furnished with plain
ness in striking contrast with the Pom
peian magnifcence displayed in the
London residence of his rival, Alma
Tadema. Visitors find him busy with
his pencil or absorbed in creative rev.
wearing, instead of the orthodox
artist robe of black velvet and tasseled
cap, a closely buttoned-up blue coat,
with his long locks disheveled and a
chronic appearance of dust and careless
ness. When friend demonstrated with
him upon this, and declared that he
looked as though he lived on paint and
it had mildewed on his exterior, he re-
piled: "Ah when am at my work,
I am mason." Though an elegant
man of the world, he is singularly un-
pretending and even child.like in his
intercourse with his friends.

THAT BULLION LIE

The Cleveland Leader has recently pub
,hed table which pretends to give the
Gu rency increase from year to year from
1865 to 1879, and there is not one particle
Of truth ia the table. The Leader takes
especial pans to address these figures to
the working men Cart Schurz is alsc doing
what he can 10 deceive the working people
by lies intended to make them believe that
il is to their interest 10 vote for the blood
sucking money lenders. We shall endeavor
in this article to put the contraction ques-
ton at rest by an appeal to the figures. 1t
is Just. however, To state that the Leaders
figuring is based upon pettlfoggIng
technicality as to the meaning of the word
currency. Few Of our readers, probably,
have access to John Stuart Mills political
economy. Mill is recognized by all bullion
lists as the highest authority He devotes
a whole chapter t. the effect of credit on
prices, and on page IS he says Money
left with broker, and not drawn against,
credit which is moi used. Credit which j.
used to purchase commodities effects prices
in the same manner as money. Through
out the entire chapter, he takes ground
that bank checks, aud book accounts, and
all kinds Of credits, should Toe classed with
bank notes as currency, AS they all exert
the same influence upon prices currency.
Very good the Lcodsr wants To count
bank notes, but rules out al other kinds Of
