CARRllNG A BULLET FOR SIXTY YEARS.
The Danyille (New York; Advertiser tells
the following: son Friday, May 18th,
Moses George, of this village, 4 veteran
of the war of 1872, who has passed his
eightieth year, extracted from his groin u
bullet which was buried there by the rifle
OF an Indian, at the Battle of Chippewa,
on the 9th day Of July, 1873. The bullet
struck the inside of the right leg, near the
groin, as the soldier was wheeling into
line, and badly shattered the thigh bone.
The bullet weighs 4 full half ounce, and is
concave on one side, showing the impress
of the bone which it struck. 1t is some
what blackened, but beneath thin coat
ing the lead is as pure and bright as it
was over half Il century ago. The results
Of the wound made by the bullet were
very severe. The limb has shortened six
inches on more, and below the thigh and
reaching nearly to the knee is thickly scar
red, where pieces of the shattered bone,
over fifty in all, have, from time to time,
worked out. The bullet did not return
by its original entrance, but came to the
surface about four inches above, and was
taken out by the veteran himself without
the aid OF Instruments He was overioy-
ed to get his eyes on the old enemy who
had worried him so long"

A couple of enterprising men, doing
the clothing business at Atlanta, are in
terviewed by q customer in search of Il
coat. The senior of the firm handles the
new conner, and soon finds First class

is, "Eighteen dollars"
"Well, sir, like your coat very much,
bat don't like the price

The customer still complains of the
price, saying that $l5 was too much. This
was too heavy for the dealer, so. taking
his customer to the extreme end of the
store, and drawing him into dark corner,
he whispers in his ear. ''Mine trent, | let

Bishop Berkley on Finance

George Berkley, Bishop Of Cloyde, was
born in ireland in 1884, and died at Ok
ford, England, In 1853, being consequent
ly, q contemporary of David Hume. He
was well fitted by his keen power Of analy-
sis and synthesis to meet and dissect the
material crudities Of the latter, the accept
ance Of which, as truths, haS probably
cost the race more in treasure than all
the wars of the last thousand years.
We make extracts below from the
London edition of his works, published
in two quarto volumes in 1874. He asks;
Query % Whether money il to be con-
sidered as having an intrinsic value, or as
being commodity a standard-a meas
ure or pledge, as is commonly suggested
by writer's And whether the true idea
of money as such be not altogether that Of

gone, things might not be rated, bought,
and sold, industry protected, and circu-
lation Of commerce maintained

Friction impedes the progress Of tn

Friction impedes the progress Of the
railway train, and yet it is only through
friction that it makes any progress. This
apparent paradox is explained when We
remember that by reason of the frictional
'bite" Of the drivers upon the track they
draw the train. The bearings of the
wheels upon the rails are mere line where
they come in contact with iron, yet this
slight and almost impercePtible hold u
