In Senator Morton's great speech
at Urbana, o., on Saturday last, he
referred to the former Democratic
hostility to the greenback. Mr. Pend
Teton was in Congress at the date of
the Legal Tender acl, and opposed it
violently. He declared it 10 be" whole
sale robbery" and predicted that the
greenbaeks, once issued, would never
be recalled or redeemed; that dema-
gogues would from time TO time
demand an increase of their issue;
that those notes would depreciate;
that the means of widows and orp-
hans would be invested in them; that
"lhey would bear the hand Of; and
that, after reducing tens of thousands
of the people Of the country to bank
ruptcy and ruin, they would be re-
pudiated! Mr.. Pendleton, in recent
speech, declared that he had never
changed his opinion that it was un-
constitutional for Congress to make
anything a legal-tender save gold
and silver. Mr.. Morton, speaking on
this point, said:
Mr.. Thurman, Mr.. Bayard, and believe
every Democratic member of the Sen
ate, has from time to time denied the
power of Congress to make greebacks lie,

Judge Nelson is quite a lion at
Saratoga. The country people flock in
from all quarters to look at him.
Occasionally corrugations of his mas
sive brow indicate that he does not
submit easily to the penalties of fame.
He can't stir anywhere without being
dogged by some curious rustic. These
annoyances have driven him to all
sorts of strategems to avoid them.
Having resolved that he could only
escape observation by taking his ex-
ercise just after -daybreak, he got up
the other morning, and was in the
act of drawing on his trousers, when
he detected a coarse, sun-burnt face
-peeping through the window-slats,
and heard a harsh voice saying,
eScuse me, Jedge, is that you! 1 We

We're all power full thunderin' early

beyond measure, his Honor crawled
under the bed, dragging. his pata-
looms after him., and spent fifteen
minutes trying to claw the bell-rope
with his stocking-feet. Yesterday he
carefully perused the advertising
columns of the newspaper for retired
country board. = Brooklyn Argus.

The Best Kid Gloves, we are told,
are produced in France, and the
Paris make is regarded as the best in
France. Kid glove.making, like choc-
olate making, is one Of the show
businesses of Paris. Visitors gaze by
hundreds, through shop windows
constructed purposely to exhibit the
work. at the kid glove cutters and
sewers within. In the process fman-
nfaeture great skill is exhibited. The
ouality Of the finest kid glove is of
ten attributed to the food the young
animals eat, but, In reality, it de :

silver coin for new England.

The Boston Journal of Monday
9'h inst, says" The Treasury De-,
partment has commenced the aeeum-
ulation of silver coin in the vaults Of
the Sub-Treasury at Boston to a
very large extent, with view tn sub
shutting the same for the circulation
of fractional currency under the
recent law of Congress. New England
requires larger proportion of small
coin than any other section of the
country. The vaults of the Treasury
in the new Post Office building are
located above the main Post Office
room, aud, with a view Of securing
them beyond peradventure of dam
ger from the immense load placed
there, Supervising Architect Potter
has directed additional and heavier
iron beams to be- placed under the
section upon which these vaults
rest-l2O tons having already Leen
ordered to be stored in these vaults,
equal to S1O,OoO,O0O. The north gal

Office. The work is to be pressed as
rapidly as possible, and will be com

A Rich REPORTER The modern
school girl must have queer ideas. In
a conversation with New York re
porter at hop at Vassar, Tuesday
evening, one Of them queried, "Are
you single?" an affirmative answer
being given. Then she asked though
fully, ''Do editors, ever get rich?"
The "pencil HEAVIER" again replied in
the affirmative, and instanced several
leading journalists, and then ad-
ded, 81 leave for New York to-

TroubIe Feared from Indians.

siderable excitement prevails in the
neighborhood ofCorinne, ON the Cen.

the demonstration of a large body of
Indians camped near there, belong
ing to the Snake, Bannacks, and
other tribes nearly one thousand of
whom have been lately baptised into
the Mormon church. They have sup
piled themselves with ammunition
and guns, and to-day, it is said, have
sent all the squaws away and made
threats, driving the Gentiles from
the west side of Bear river, which
they claim has been granted them by
the Mormons for a reservation. Cow

of soldiers to be sent to Corinne for

The Harm the Innocent Old Woman
Aid

She lives down on Baker street,
and she has a daughter about eight
cen years old. The old lady retains
all her simplicity and innocence, and
she dosen't 90 two cents on style.
The other evening, when a splendid
catch called to escort the daughter
to the opera, the mother wouldn't
take the hint to keep still, and
wouldn't help carry out the idea
that they had wealth. While help
ing her daughter to get ready she
asked:
Mary, are you going to wear the
shoes with one heel off, or the palr
with holes in 'em?
Mary did not seem to hear, and
the mother inquired; Are you go
ing to wear that dollar chain and
that washed locket, or will you wear
the diamond father bought at the
hardware store?
Mary winked at her and the
young man blushed, but the old la
dy went on: Are you going to wear
Mrs. Browns shawl OF will you wear
mine?
Mary hustled around, and the
mother said: Be careful of your
dress, Mary; you know its the only
one you've got, and you can't get
another until the mortgage on this
place is lifted.
Mary remarked to her escort that
it promised to be a beautiful eve
ming, and as she buttoned her glove
her mother said: Those are Mrs
Hardy's gloves amt they?. She's
been good neighbor to US, and
don't know how you'd manage to
go anywhere if she didn't live near
US.
Mary was hurrying to get out of
the room, when the mother raised
her head and once more asked: Die
YOU run into Mrs. Jewett's and Dor
row her fan and bracelet! Yes
see you did. Well, now you lool
real stylish, and l hope you'll have
good time. 3a g -"- --
Mary sits by her window and
sighs for the young man to come
and beau her around some more, ,but
he has not been seen around that
way since that night. The old lady
too, says that he seemed like a nice
young man, and-s hopes that he
hasen't been killed by the stree
cars.

In this judicial district there is an old
jovial itinerate advocate celebrated for his
wit Us we'll as the number of fines he has
had to pay for contempt Of court After
he has paid OF all the scores of the sheriff
against MIN he has scarcely enough stamps
left to Get to the next courthouse. But
old Phil rot away with the court once,
since which time he has been borne with
US a necessary evil, and treated with more
indulgence. Judge IL. was sitting on the
bench after the bcrated Phil had been fin
ed several times for gross contempt, when
by and by, a case was reached in which
the Judge had acted as counsel, so he had
to recuse himself, when the counsel on
both sides agreed, in order that the case
might be disposed at summarily, thar
some member Of the bar not interested
should be selected to sit on the cause. So
the lot was cast on old Phil, who was du-
" appointed by the court, with the coun-
sells sanction, as his Homer pro tenn.
With all the pomp and circumstance ofan
Ostraciscd owl, he assumed the Judicial

Yes, sir, was the astonished response.
'Then, sir, it is ordered, adjudgcd and de-

instanter Mr. Sheriff, you are now in
