The design for the twenty cent silver
piece authorized by the last Congress has
been decided upon. The diverse contains
q sitting figure of Liberty. with the word
Liberty" inscribed on the shield, the
whole surrounded by thirteen stars, and
beneath the figure the date 1873" On
the reverse the figure Of an eagle sur.

If the report is true that Secretary
Delano is implicated in Indian frauds and
that his resignation has actually been ask
ed for by the President. he must have
felt very much like celebrating at Con-
cord, and must have felt particularly
good when the eloquent Curtis said !:
wherever corruption shall poison the
very springs of national life, there
minute men of liberty, are your Licking
ton Green and Concord Bridge, and as
you love your country aud your kind and
would have your children rise up aud call
you blessed, spare not the enemy" But
then, according to our Vermont papers he
sat just behind ex.Gov. Smith in church
the day before, so he probably felt reas-
sured and had no thoughts but Of the
Revolution and the glory Of this great
country. 1t is big cOuntry.-Messen'

SPELLING MANIA.-With reference to
the spelling mania, which the Boston
Transcript ;magines is on decline, that
journal observes: Such awful spells as
have been ELECTED in some quarters were
enough to authorize the opinion that
photography is dishonored practice
among educated Americans. Yet some
good has been done by the spelling mania
1t has shown. decisively, the weak
photographed points in the methods OF
the schools. 1t was worth something as
a Lesson of humility to see bright lads and
misses hesitate and stumble over the
easiest words in common use. If the
epistolary correspondence of the two sexes
contain such laughable mistakes as
occurred during these public ordeals, they
would inevitably take rank among the
'curiosities of literature.

Disease from the Influence of the
Passions.

An interesting article upon this
subject, DR.. b w. Richardson says
that the passions which act most
severely on the physical life are
anger, fear, hatrcd. and grief. The
other passions are comparatively
innocent. Love is not injurious
until it lapses into grief and anxiety !;
what is called ambition is OF itself
harmless, except when debased by
the meaner ally. pride, or when
1ading TO the performances of ex
cessivo n entail 81 physical labor.
Avsrice, according 10 the Doctor
experience, tends rather to the pre-
servati0n Of the body than to its
deterioration The avaracious man
by his economy saves himself from
all the worry incident 10 penury;
his caution screens him from the
risks incident TO speculation; his
regularity enables him to work and
in periods entirely according with
the periodicity of nature, and by
his abstemiousness be takes Just
enough to live, which is precisely
the right thing to do according TO
the rigid natural law.
