Paper MOneY.

4 clear appreciation of the nature
and use of paper money, which can
not be too much insisted upon is ex-
pressed in the following passage from
BIackrooFS Hagazi1c Whatever
be its theoretical position towards
coin, paper money is particularly
handy; and if we could only remain
in ignorance of the fact that, possibly,
it may lose its assumed value and be
worth nothing we all should be in
cHned to look upon it with q tender
ness absolutely parallel to that which
we accord to the brightest sovereigns.
Unlnckily however for our trusting
tOndness, it does sometimes happen
that bank notes deceive us, that they
are not really convertible into the
metal which they claim to represent,
and then We mourn and say it Is a
great shame. Our fathers did so,
doubtless, in 1913, when the one
pound notes of the bank Of England
fell to As. ID; and our various con
tinental neighbors have had, and have,
frequent opportunities of conceIylng
the same sentiment. Whatever be
the cunningness of bank acts, they do
not suffice in any land. to constantly
maintain the price OF this sort Of cur
rencv. All that the cleverest govern
ments can do is to lay down rules
which work well in quiet times; for
the whole world knows, by personal
experience, that no rules whatever can
be relied on to keep bank notes at par
in days of crisis. But, as days of cri-
sis are not frequent, We run the risk
of them, and from old habit and il
difference, forget that all paper money
is q sham-an excessively meritorious
sham, but none the less a sham. H.
wants but really to be considerably
more perfect than the metals whose
place it takes and it IS quite compre-
hensible that, Notwithstanding It's one
defect, it should have spread all over
the earth, since Marco Polo first dis
covered it in China over six centuries
ago. 1t weighs nothing, it costs moth
ing, and if it is lost, nothing is really
lost. Of course the loser loses by his
loss, but as the issuer gains an exact
equivalent by the suppression of his
liability, the loss is merely individual,
not general; whereas, if a sovereign
drops into a chink, the entire nation
is twenty shiIIings poorer. These are
immense qualities to possess, and it is
indeed deplorabie to be obliged, after
enumerating them with hearty ad-
miration, to come back again to what
we said Just now, and to repeat once
more that paper money is a sham 1t
is, however, currency which means
that it has the capacity Of being cur
rent; and so long as it retains that ca
pacitY unimpaired, it certainly merits
to be regarded, with tea, gunpOwder,
and the compass, among the most
admirable of the many inventions
which we owe to the Chinese

Cork LEATHER The Paris cor

bition by the Cork Leather Company,

the most brittle of barks, and yet at
the same time, the lightest of mGteri-
ais. The cork leather which now
makes its appearance for the first time
is simply sheets of cork covered on
both siies with thin linen, but so pre-
pared that when bent double il neither
breaks nor cracks. What the solution
is which produces this effect cannot
pretend to guess. Ii used as leather,
it is certainly one fourth the weight of
hide, and looks as well, at half the
cost. If III the guiSe OF macintosh,
it is as supple, and yet not sticky ike

shoes are exhibited of this material,
but the most efficient use to which il
can be put seems to be for military ac-
coutrements and tent-cloths. The
French War Office has ordered a
soldiers complete outfit to be made
of the cork leather, and | understand
that the Duke Of Cambridge has di-
rected similar samples to be sent to
the Horse Guards. With regard to
tents, the material Is, without doubt.

Bold stage Robbery.

Yesterday morning after the Silver
City stage got on top of the hill about
a mile and a half from the river 1t
was stopped by highwaymen and
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S treasure box
and the mail sacks demanded. The
circumstances were not known here
until II O'Clock, seven hours and a
half after the robbery. Charley Dow
ney was the driver and had only one
passenger, John Lemp's brother. He
was ordered to drive on and the first
place lie reached was the 16 mile house
the old Record place. Here Charley
asked Il. f. Young, Of Boise Valley I;
who was at the station, engaged III
unloading and moving away baIed
hay, if he was going to town. lie
told him he was when he got his hay
unloaded. lie then asked Young to
90 to the Stage Office and tell them
that he had met three highwaymen
near Boise City and they had deman-
ded and taken Wells, Fargo IL Co.'s
treasure box also his mail. Young
says that be understood DOwney TO
say that the men We're disguised III
blankets and had double barrel shot
guns. But Downey had his horses
hitched up and was ready to start
when he told the circumstance to
Young, who was at work at his hay
and he did not get any further par
ticulars As soon as the news came
here, Mr.. Morris, Superintendent Of
the n. w. 5. Company, and agent OF
w. +. & Co, left with Fred Him,
the Umatilla driver, and visited the
place where the robbery was commit
ted. They found the treasure box
and mail sacks close by the side o. the
road, about a mile and half from
the top of the hill, or two miles from
the stage office in Boise City. The
staple was broken off the box clean
and handsomely, probably with a
hatchet or hamer. The box was rlttled
of all the express matter and treasure,
about $4,000, mostly in bullion and
gold dust. The mail sacks were cut
open from the top side as they lay
down, and had been gone through.
The appearance showed that it was by
an old hand who knew what to take
that was valuable. The stage left
here at 3 80 in the morning and the
robbery was committed within half
an hour, by t o'clock at the fwthest.
1t rained heavy after this and obi
terated the tracks of the robbers and
the long time that elapsed before the
circumstance was known in this city
gave ample time for the robbers TO
hide their booty and get back to this
city and mix up with the people as if
nothing had occurred, provided they
were from this place. Suspicion, how
ever, is not placed on any body here,
and it is possible that the robbers will
soon be found making their way oil
on some of the public throughtares.
a warrant has been placed in Deputy
SherifPs Races hands and he has yisi-
ted the place of the robbery and is en-
the alert for their arrest. Other steps
have also been taken; for their detec-
ton. Had Mr.. Lemp got out of the
stage as soon as he got a reasonable
distance from the place where the rob-
berry was committed, and come back
to town and given the news it is pro-
bable that the robbers would have
been caught before they got far away
from the place.-B0j&e Statesman.

SWINE BEEEDWG.-Tbe Is breeder seeks
first for animals Of good form and
good constitution he looks next to
their pedigree-which of their breeds
he shall select may depend upon many
circumstances, and largely, Of course,
upon his associations and his taste.
For myself | choose Berkshire, and |
have seen 10 good cause TO regret my
choice. | find them hardy, Of good
form, good mothers, yielding excellent
meat, and having little ollal. They
mature early, and are large enough
for shipping. With those who seek
larger hogs, the Poland Chinas are
the tavorites, while the pure, black,
oily little Essex %on the one hand
and the mammoth white Yorkshire
on the other have their advocates.
Each man must examine and decide
for himself. | only suggested that
throughbreds should in all eases be
chosen, and only trom well known
and responsible breeders can one buy
with any degree Of surety of receiv.
inc that for which he 50 literally makes
payment. Begin with throughbreds,
and then keep strictly within the breed.
Only thus can satisfactory results be
counted on with certainty. Mixed
breeds show the traits and forms of
all their ancestors. They will be
uneven in their breeding. Keep strict
ly with the breed, but not couple near
relations. This advice is founded up
on the following principle. Every in.
dividual has its exceIIencies and its
defects. BY coupling such relations,
both excellencies and defects are ag.
gregated and intensified; the defects
may be SO intensified as to destroy
the utility of the produce again. !
Breed together animals Of like charac- |
ter, The produce well be like the
parents they will be even and sure. !

Bundy has been married two weeks,
and left his wife.-Bundy is little
man, and his wife weighs 24O pounds
and was the relict of the late Peter
Potts. About ten days after marriage
Bundy was surprised, on awakening
in the morning, to find his better halt
sitting up in the bed crying as II her
heart would break. Astonlshed, he
asked the cause OF her sorrow, but
receiving no reply, he began 10 sur
mise that there must be some secret
on her mind that she withheld from
him, that was the cause Of her anguish,
so he remarked to Mrs. b. that as
they were married she should tell him
the cause of her grief, so, ifpossible, be
could avert it, and after considerable
coaning, ne elected the following from
her:

some for $500 ard so on to $3.50. And
as had not that amount | could not
purchase
Thinking to console her, Bundy
placed his arm lovingly around her,
and asked
And did you see any men like me

'Oh, yes she replied, drawing
away from him, lots like you they
were tied up in punches like asparagus,
and were sold for ten cents bunch

lawyer if he had sufficient grounds
for a divorce.-.St. Louis Repu6Iican.

since the result OF the Ohio elec ton
capital is losing It's timidity, and the
business of the country will no longer
be paralyzed. Since the result of the
Pennsylvania election, it is now evi-
dent that the nation Will never for a
moment entertain the policy Of illimit-

capital will no longer fear coming out

ever since the panic Of 1878.
