A Bath In the Dead Sea.

bath as this. The specific gravity of the
water is such, from its holding in solution so

the shore, and taking DIR. c., one of our
party, who could not swim, by the hand, led
him into the sea where the water was MANY
fathoms deep. At first he was quite reluc-
tant to follow me, but he soon gained conf.
dence on finding there was no danger of
sinking, and he enjoyed the novel bath as
much as ii he had been an expert swimmer.
Should the bather allow the water TO get
into his eyes or mouth he would suffer con
siderable abatement in his enjoyment, on

CANADIAN ANNExATIoN.-Replying to
the London Standards recent attacks upon
the United States, the Boston Advertiser
well says "The suggestion that we want
Canada so much that we would take it If we
dared, is too ludicrous. General Butler is.
if we remember rightly, the only politician
who makes pretension TO any standing in
either party, who has proposed to fight for
Canada His proposition was not even Sc
riously considered, not because of the pru-
dent " fear of Englands army and navy, but
because Americans are reasonable enough to
know that Canada conquered would not be
worth having. We have had enough of dis
affected states. iIenceforth, as we are now
united, harmonious and friendly, each to all
the rest, we hope to remain so. We have
land enough to expand in. We need nothing
Canada can give us. The convcniences of
having the Dominion joined to our own ter.
ritory we recognize, but we regard the whole
matter as one for our neighbors to decide.
II they wish to join us, well if they choose
to remain as they are, well. We do not
covet Canada, but neither do we dislike her,
nor should we repel her il she made adyan-
ces. But the advances are for her, and not
for US to make"

Circulate TIE MoNrY.-Thc Washing
ton Republic has the following very sensible
ideas in regard to our currency Push your
greenbacks round and keep them in circula-
ton. The country does not require an i'll
crease Of paper currency. That would lead,
as it invariably does, TO an imitation of prices,
and we would be compelled TO pay more for
everything we eat, drink and wear. What
is needed now is not an increase of paper
money, but a more rapid circulation of that
now in the market. 1t is the ninble six
pence and not the slow shilling that does
the work Money is offered at p per cent
and has few takers even at that low rate.
Money is still; lying dormant. Nobody
wants it or, if there are parties in need they
have no satisfactory securities to offer. Bu-
| siness was overdone, and it requires rest I'M
til the surplus stocks have become exhaus-
ted. That will soon be the case. Business
is improving. Let everybody help it along
by his energy and a friendly expression Of
confidence. Settle up old debts and be eau
tious in contracting new ones. Long credits
require long purses when pay day comes
round If people would pay more cash gen
orally in their business transactions, less
money would be required a story is told
of quite recent incident that may be re-
| peated thousand times daily. A merchant
received dollar in part payment of an ac-
count early one morning, and few moments
later paid it 10 his butcher It was peculiar
lily stained, so that it attracted attention.
An hour or two later the same bill was paid
on another account, and was again paid out.
1t was received on account and for goods no
less than six times during the day by the
merchant. His curiosity was excited, and,
as the expressnan would say, he started a
tracer to learn the route it had travelled dur
ing the day. lie was surprised to learn that
it had changed hands twenty-one times. 1t
finally rested in his safe at night. 1t is not
probable that all the money in circulation
will average nearly so much activity and
yet there are but few who have ever thought
seriously Of the paramount value to every
business relation of keeping money rapidly
in motion in the community.

DouBrFuL BENEFIr-The benefit to the
agricultural interest Of the country, derived
from the labors Of the solemn functionaries
who draw salaries from the government for
experimenting the distribution Of doubtful
seeds to doubtful voters whose suffrages are
sought by congressman, and by the compila-
ton OF useless and incorrect information
upon subjects nearly or remotely allied to
the cultivation of the soil is forcibly ex-
hlbited in the june number of the monthly
report Of the Commissioner of Agriculture.
That remarkable collection of statistics CON
tains tho information that the peach crop of
Delaware and Maryland is a failure this sea-
son. The truth is that the crop in these
states the present year promises to be the
greatest ever known so large, in fact, that
the peach growers fear that their profits will
be destroyed, because the production is likely
to be in excess of any possible demand, and
they apprehend a ruinous depreciation of
prices as the result.

The Great Dublin Fire.

quantities OF whiskey, brandy and other
spirits. Owing TO the infaminable nature
OF these stores fears were entertained that
the conflagration would be borne in resist
less flood over the city. The blazing whis-
key poured literally in torrents from the
building, and rushed down the streets in la
ya-like streams. A vast crowd had. Of
course, collected, but they had to fly for their
lives before the blazing streams OF whiskey
as they rushed kissing along. The flames
from the whiskey streams rose TO the height
OF thirty feet, and as il poured along, lapped
with It's hery tongue house after house OF the
poor people. A most narrowing sight was
the spectacle OF these people rushing from
their burning houses, some of them only
half dressed, mothers with little babies al
their breasts, or inyalids lettering on some
helping arm. The streams Of burning wills.

offered TO others temptation which they
could not resist Many people got access to
places where it ran more freely, or formed
in pools, and they resorted 10 every possible
expedients To obtain draughts. Some tried
70 collect the liquor in their hats, and others
IN their boots, and failing TO satisfy their
craving by such means, they lay down and
Tapped the Intoxicating stream until some
became insensible and were dragged of to
hospitals, while others, seized with the same
mania, rushed into their places and followed
their example. The number of deaths
caused by this drinking Of hot whiskey far
exceeded that caused directly by the fire.

The BLACK lIILLs.-Prof. Janney, the
geologist, sent by the government to exam
inc the Black Hills, has reported to the Sec
rotary of the interior that gold does not
exist there in sufficient quantities to make
mining profitable. His report, which was
received at the Interior Department Tues.
day, will greatly disappoint the gold hunters
and border spectators Prof. Janney prac-
tically refutes all the sensational stories
which have been published about this re-
gion. lie says, after having spent month
in careful investigation, that he believes the
mining would be proftless Gold exists, but
in small quantities, and scattered over inn
mense areas. lie tested the soil where il
was said to yield twenty-seven cents pan
and found it worth only one cent and
quarter per pan. In the bed rock, where il
was said to be very rich and abundant, he
could find no trace of ore.

RAILROAD ISvEsTMENTs.-In an article
on the gain in public wealth by the shrink
age in expectations, incomes, prices, and ex-
penditure, the Chicago Tribune remarks that
" To-day there is more real substantial
wealth in the country than there was when
the bonds Of the Nnrihe,r paeiGc railroad
were counted among the assets" To this
the Cincinnati Gd=eae replies, that if the idea
be that the general wealth has been increased
by the collapse of these bonds, the country has
had much of that sort of prosperity, for the
amount of American railroad bonds on
which default has been made in the last
two years is more than five hundred millions,
while the sinking of assets in the form Of
railroad stocks has been as much more. II
this mode Of extnguishing debts and capi.
tai be increase of wealth, it can be carried
much further, and the country made very
rich.
