The lates: Centennial suggestion was
introduced in Select Council Thursday.
1t came in the shape of a resolution offer
ed by Mr.. Shoemaker, requesting our
housekespers TO keep their front shutters
open during the Centennial, and to have
hssses properly lit up at night. Really
this is not bad idea, and it will be still
more happy if The fashion should be held
On to and become a permanency. The
dark, gloomy appearance of philadelphia
streets at night, and the forbidding ef.c.
Of the inhospitaLle-loskirs shutters, which
are held by outsiders to be one Of her
most cherished features, has always been
made matter Of reproach to Philadel-
phia BY strangers. Soue malicious wit
has asserted that in the remote DAYS Of
Willian Penn these shutters were put up
for the purpose ofin!sriering with an un-
pleasant habit Of the red men, who, posi-
bly, prompted by the desire to take salts
faction for the sharp bargain which the
men Of peace had driven with ,hen, as
we'll for little arrow prospect, would
stroll along the streets at nigh. and occa-
sionally pick of the broad -brims through |
windows sot thus protected. The retcn.
tion Of these barricsde. and the darkened .
appearance Of our houses a, night, is there
fsre accounted for by our characteristic
Quaker conservatism, which clings with
tenacity to HABITS which our ancestors
found advantageous generations since.
We do not endorse this explanation, bu.
we sheuld nevertheless lie glad to 6ud
customs which have certainly outlived any
csn.ideratisas, either in an a.thetic or a
practical point Of view, that NAV once
have existed in their favor giving wav to
more modern and cheerful ones.

When Miss Clara Martin, Of Davenport,
married Benjamin Taylor, some two years
ago, she didn't know that he was going to
be - particular and exacting, and Benja-
min had no idea that his fair young bride
would be so hard to please. And now she
wants to be Clara Martin again, just ke-
cause Benjamin comes to bed with his hat
and boots on, and chokes her whenever he
meets her, breaks the furniture every time
he comes into the house, team her clothes
pulls her hair, and finally knocked her
dewn with stick Of stove wood. As if she
could reasonably expect him to strain his
muscles by knocking her down with stick
Of cord weed. 4 piece of steve wood not
split too fine, is as heavy bludseon as any
man ought to be expected to use on his

into pile of shavings lying near the furnace

The Great Musical Wonder.

There is now at ''The Toledo
splendid hall in Chicago, the greatest
musical wonder of the world; its mu-
sic surpasses anything we have ever
heard. In our last we promised to
give history and description of the
instrument in this weeks HERALD
While we do this we are unable to
give the reader anything like an idea
of the grand music it discourses.-
Thousands are daily going into this
splendid hall (late Brunswick) to see
and hear the instrument Here is its
history and description:
1t is deemed proper that brief his
tory of this monument Of musical
machinery be given to the public, til at
they may be more fully prepared to
witness it in its proper light. Its con-
struction was begun at about the time
of the close of the Franco Prussian
war, in the little county of Schwarz-
valid, a place in Germany better known
in this country as the "Black Forest;''
it was an experiment, in the hands of
the most thoroughly educated musical
Professors in Germany, and in case it
should prove a success-which it un-
doubted has-was to be first introduc-
ed into the United States in the city of
Chicago, by Kaltenbaeh Bros, the
Sole Agents for North America, after
which it is to be placed on exhibition
among the Automatic Wonders of the
Great Centennial Exhibition at Phila-
delphia.
Brunswick Hall was selected as
the only desirable location for its ex-
hibition from two causes-its central
location and the only available room
in the city large enough for its accom-
mediation, its actual dimentions in
square feet being sufficient for the
erection of a small tenement. It's
height is 80 feet, its depth is 20 feet,
or more over all than the space of two
stories of an ordinary building. The
import duties paid in gold to the
U. s. Government fell but a few dol
lars short of $4,000; freight, extra
charge for handling the enormous
cases, fire and marine insurance, stor-
age, ETC., amounting to fabulous sums.
4tS muSAS-AuAAA pLODOIGlSS are
composed of 1852 pipes, 1,241 horns,
and drums, etc., to correspond. The
power and strength of its tone is equal
to lao instruments. 1t equals three of
the largest orehestras in the world
combined. The solo and accompany
ing instruments have in no manner
been overlooked or forgotten, as they
are all represented in their proper
places.
The various instruments of the Or
chestori0n are proportioned thus: "a
first violins, I6 second violins, u vio-
las, IL. 'cellos, 9 contra base, 8 flutes,
8 claironets, flagolets, 8 oboes, s
French horns, 8 cornets, s trombones,
tympans, saxophones, 4 tuba,
drums proportioned.
In addition to the above instruments
which two years ago was to complete
the Orchestrion, have been added a
full scale of Spanish Castinettes, a
full scale of steal Harmonicons, and a
Battery OF sufficient power to control
the whole. This is feature in music
that is very novel as well as entirely
new. The public are asked to pay
close attention to this novelty.

FAYTTE COUNTY HER

The ardor with which the Demo-
cratic organs everywhere espouse the
cause of their sectarian friends. mas
gradually subsided into a lamentable
wall of persecution, which will widely
fail in its aim to elicit sympathy Inc
cry now goes forth that the Catholics
as a christian church are being perse-
cuted BIZ the Republican party. But
this false and debasing plea only
shows that the Democratic party IS
beginning to feel the weight of the
load it has undertaken to carry, and
the means resorted to by that party
in its purchase of political power,
have been no less dishonorable than
are its efforts now in trying to create
the impression that the Catholic
Church is made the subject of perse-
cution: The very reverse of this IS
true wherever that church has had the
power to warrant its demands, and
since the days of the Inquisitien to
the present time it has been aggres-
sive in it's character, and its bid to the
Demo mocracy of Ohio was made with
view to giving a death blow to one Of
the greatest enemies of Catholicism
the free school system of our State.
The Toledo Catholic Review says ::
| The only possible hope Of breaking
doa0n the school system is to cast the
solid Catholic vote for the Democracy
this fall.
The Catholic Telegraph, the organ
of the church in Ohio, says:
1t will be a glorious day for the
Catholics in this country when, under
the laws of justice and morality, our
school system shall be shivered to
pieces. Until then modern paganism
will triumph.
The Shepherd of the Valley, Cath
oIic paper published at St Louis, in
telling what may be expected in a GER
tain contingency. says:
In the future. when we shall have
gained the ascendancy in this country
as we surely shall, then will it be true
even as our enemies now say, that
there will be no more religious liberty
as there ought not to be.
The above, along with the Geghar
Bill, and other facts which we might
mention, do not present very striking
evidences of persecution Guern sey

= From the way Governor Allen s
speeches read, we would suppose that
he is vain enough to think that he can
make the people believe, that if he is
reelected Governor of the State of
Ohio, he will have the power and the
will to dry up allA the fountains from
which spring the National Bank eur
rency, and food the country with
Greenbacks; and, with this delusion,
he goes before the people of the State
with all his hopes Of reelection based
upon this delusive humbug. He tries
to deceive them with the idea that his
election will be the means of doubling
the amount Of paper currency and di-
viding it cut equally among the poor
people of the country, and thus make
them all rich.
Well, he has been Governor two
years, and the Legislature of the State
has been Democratic, but we fail to
see that any poor man has been bene
fitted by his being Governor, and the
opportunities thus afforded him to fill
the pockets Of the people with green
backs, and we apprehend that their
poCket-money would not be increased
to the amount of one cent if he were
to be re. elected.
He will have no more power, by
virtue Of his Office, to add dollar to
the volume of currency than the hum
blest citizen of the State. The ques-
ton of contraction or expansion is in
the hands, or rather the power of Con-
gress and tie Presidency, exclusively.
State Legislatures have nothing to do
with it; and when the Democracy of
Ohio hold out the delusive idea that
the election Of the Democratic ticket
in this State will cause an additional
iow of money among the people, they
are simply guilty Of an attempt to de-
ceive. It is a fraud, and it is time
the people should understand it,.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says
"the surplus currency flows into the
banks and the people never see it,
Is it possible that the banks keep all
the money locked up in their vaults
We always had an idea that the object
of banking was to make money, but
we are at loss to know how they can
make money ON their banking capital
if they keep their money locked up all
the time. The editor of the Enquirer
knows well enough that when the
banks have money they are always
anxious to loan it out when they can
be properly sec cured. If the National
banks were all out of existence, the
surplus currency would be gathered in :
to the vaults of private bank ers, and the
people would have about as much
difficulty in getting a peep at it, as
though it were in National banks, and
to obtain loan from the private banks
you would be required to make these
bankers equally as safe. It's the object
of both classes of institutions to make
money-there is no difference in them
in this respect-and it is equally the
obj ect of the borrower of money from
banks, to make money by means of
the money hired from them; neither
the banker nor the borrower do it
merely for the accommodation, the
prime object is to make money by
their business transactions; and in
that view of the case, they are mutu-
ally benefited, and should feel mutu1
ally interested.

win Resumption Reduce the Cir
cIIatfOn?

culat1OnS
A great many persons have an idea
that in order to be able to resume spe-
Gle payment, the amount of paper
currency would necessarially have to
be reduced to the amount of gold in
the country, that there must be only
dollar for dollar. This is not the
fact. Ithas always been regarded safe
banking when the bank had So 90 of
bank issue for every dollar of gold in
their vaults; but by our present per-
fectly safe system of paper issues, the
bill holder is secure in any amount of
issues he may hold of either National
Bank notes or Greenback.
On Monday last gold closed at 1138.
Nav suppose we undertake to redeem
in gold, would it reduce the circulat-
ing medium 138? 1t might contract
the volume of paper issues slightly
for = very short time, but as soon as
it was understood that a gold dollar
was no better than National Bank
note or a Greenback dollar note,
would not gold that has been hidden
for SO many years, from the light of
day, find its way out to the pockets of
the people, if they want it, and fill up
the temporary small contraction, and
even increase the actual volume of cir :
culation? OF course we do not sup
pose that every dollar Of gold and sill
yer in the country would take the
place of an equal amount Of paper
currency now in circulation, because a
good deal of it would have to be held
in reserve to meet the demands of bill
holders for the metal but a great
amount of it would find its way into
the hands of the farmers, who have
not been refreshed with the sight of 9
gold dollar for 10! these many years
We no not want to see any contrac
ton in the present volume of paper
currency but we doubt whether i
would make a very great difference
injuriously to the farmers of the coun
try To show the reader the condi
