SOMETHING lear the result that
will probably be arrived at from the
recent observations of the transit OF
Venus AS to the distance of the sun
from the earth, is given by g. B.
Airy, the astronomer royal, as hav-
ing been received from the French
observers. It PLACES the distance,
in round numbers. at 90, 100000
miles. On the strength of this,
The New York World abuses
Encke, who made it IS, $50, 900
miles, basing his calculatid rs on
the transit of 1869.
1t was The Worlds astroh omer,
we believe, who suggested tn at the
earth is being drawn into the sun;
why dosn't he stand by, Enc Ike and
insist that the difference Of over
100000 miles since 1869 ID simp-

SILVER CURRENCY.

DIR. Linderman n, Director Of tho Mint,
has given a correspondent of the New
York Times his views on the resumption
of silver payments He is strod ely in
favor of using silver again foI small
change, and thinks now that it iB prac-
ticable to do so. He puts this opinion
on the great fall in the value Of silver
consequent on The change of standard
in Germany by the German Money law
! of 1871 This law provides for the con-
current circulation of the new gold aud
the old silver in the Empire until the
old silver coin had been drained off into
the other countries The efforts of the
German Government to dispose of its
surplus silver have resulted in serious
decline in its value, until it has fallen to
55L pence per ounce British st ndard.
When the project, that has since been
abandoned, of silver resumption was
proposed last fall, the price of silver
YVES 57M pence per ounce. When the
premium Oh gold fills permanently to
1l5 silver may be pus into circulation
without danger Of its being exported
abroad The decline IN the value Of
silver, SO long as it don't carry il below
the point at which it ceases to be good
for money, facilitates the resumption of
silver payments. An obstacle still! in
the wav is the redunaance of the frac-
tienal notes DR.. Linderman states that
the issues OF fractional notes has no
doubt been for the last two years in
excess of the public requirements to the
extent Of probably SIS. 100000. which
amount must be withdrawn and can
ceiled as early as the law and the accu-
mutation of a sufficient amount of silver
coin to take It's place will permit
IMMENSELY CT NATIaNAL DEBTS. - The
immensely of the national debts is shown
by Black WOODS Magazine, which shows
that since 1860, when America entered
the money market as a borrower at O
prodigious rate, the indebtedness of the
world has increased at the average rate
OF two hundred millions year It then
goes on to say, eff this average Il kept
up, in twenty-five years more the total
debt OF the world will reach ten thou
sand millions, the Interest OF which,
taken at the average rate Of five per
cent, will amount to The present aggge-
gate public revenues of all the States

A FRENCHMAN'5 LIFE OF LIN
COLIN.

.
NJ. Joualt, who was witness
of President LincoIn's assassination,
has written his life, and Hachette
|& Co., Of Paris, publish 1t. He
thus describes Lincoln at his second
Inauguration: ''His movements
were slovenly and awkward; his
form was long, lanky, and was
more than 8 feet in height; his
shoulders were stopped, and at his
side dangled long, listless arms that
might have befted boatman, and
which terminated in hands of extra
ordinary size, not disproportionate
however, to that of his feet. He
wore all i'll fitting black coat that
gave him the appearance of an un-
dertaker, and a black cravat fasten-
ed with large bow, the ends Of
which hung carelessly over his coat
flaps. His turned-down shirt collar
displayed to view the muscles Of a
salIow and sinewy throat, above
which, emerging from a quantity OF
wiry black hair, just like grove Of
frs, rose face irresistibly attrac-
tive. II [ was astounded at first
by his lengthy extremities and enor-
NOUS ears, [ was soon fascinated by
the benignancy, the intelligence,
and the air Of simple wisdom that
characterized his physiognomy,''
The same evening our author was
presented TO Mr.. Lincoln at the
White House. He saw him twice
afterwards, at banquet and at a
ball, and then finally at the scene OF
his death-Ford's Theater. He
witnessed the incidents of the muir
der, and it was the horror created in
his mind by the event, as well as
his admiration of the illustrlous
victim, which inspired the present
volume, for it was commenced a
few days after Mr.. Lincoln's death
though only now completed.
sSince them says NJ. Joualt in
his preface, ''faithful to his memory,
[ have endeavored to reproduce him
as knew him, and to make the
wisest, justest, and honestest man
Of this our nineteenth century live
over again.

ACCORDING to G. W. P. Custis'
recollections. the grooming Of Wash,
ington's white horses was something
surprising. The night before the
horses were expected to be ridden
they, were covered entirely over
with paste, Of which whiting was
the principal component part; then
the animals were swathed in body
clothes, and left to sleep upon clean
straw. In the morning the CONS
position had become hard, was well
rubbed in, and curried and brushed,
which process gave to the coats a
beautiful glossy and satin-like ap-
pearance. The hoofs were then
BACKED and polished, the mouths
washed. teeth picked and cleaned.
and the leopard-skin housings being
properly adjusted, the white chargers
were led out for service.

TO PRESERVE FENCE POSTS.


Some one who has tried it says:
Il discovered many years ago that
wood could be made to last longer
than iron in the ground, but thought
the process so simple and iaexpen
sive that it was not worth while
making any stir about If. | would
as soon have poplar, Eastwood, or
quaking ash as any other other kind
Of timber for fence posts. After
having been set seven years they
were as sound when they were taxi
en- ont as when they were first put
in the ground. Time and weather
seem to have no effect on them.
The posts can be prepared for less
than 2 cents apiece. This is the
recipe: Take boiled linseed oil and
stir in it pulverized charcoal to the
consistency of paint. Put a coat of
this over the timber, and there is
not man who will live to see i:
rot"

It is very evident that the case
against Beecher will not end with
the present trial. His enemies are
busy hunting up or inventing new
testimony against him. A druggist
has been unearthed-it is alleged
who sold MIN that 'spoison' which
Moulton testified about and ''rumors'
are ahoat that a mysterious uphols-
terer employed IN the Tilton man
sion once on a time saw Beecher
and Mrs. Tilton in an s'equivocal
attitudes in her parlor. Strange
that these Startling revelations
were postponed until after the
the testimony in the trial had
closed. It is safe for the public to
regard with extreme suspicion all
such eleventh. hour stories. - Even-

TNHE GRANGER CHURN,
i A new invention,
Makes the best of butter
With the least attention.
Now all good dairymen,
Who would a reputation earn,
Should make their butter
In the Granger Churn.
It makes more butter
From the same amount of cream
Than any other Churn
That ever was seen.
And it makes It so yellow,
With such excellent taste,
It is the pride of the seller,
For 1t sells in such haste.
The grocers all want it
The butter 1 mean
To supply all their customers,
From laborer to queen.
1t will churn in five minutes,
l am happy to say,
And does not waste time
Like the old-fashioned way.
Those that have tried 1t
Speak in complimentary terms
And say they will use 1t
In preference to all other Churns.
