PROPOSED DISCUSSION ON THE NATIONAL
CuRRENCY.-The Banking and Currency
Committee OF the New York Board of Trade
on Tuesday unanimously adopted the follow
ing preamble and resolution
Whereas the currency question havirg
assumed the most grave importance to
manufacturers, merchants, bankers, agri-
cultulists, and laborers of all kinds,
it behooyes this Board to provide the
means for such discussion, investigation,
and reports rs may materially assist In
| shaping the future financial policy Of the
Government and country; and whereas ii
appears to this committee that series of
public meetings SHOULD be held in New
York, at which all Interested Ia our national
progress aud present financial and CONNER
cial difficulties should have the opportunity
| of attending, and at which prominent pub.
| lie men holding opposite views on the cur.
| rency question should be Invited to express
those views, and that subsequently, report
should be published by The Board conveying
such recommends to Congress as shall
be deemed advisable and expedient; be it,
therefore,
| ReSoloed, That the Executive Committee
Of this Board be requested to take such &C.
ton in this matter as will best give effect to
| the suggestions contained in the preamble
to this resolution. ...,.
1t Is stated that invitations will be extend
ed to Hon. John Sherman, chairman Senate
Finance Committee; Hon. w. D. Keiley,
Senator John Is. Gordon. Hon. B. F. Butler,
Senator FreliDghuyseD, David A. Wells, and

Spain.

The news for a week past Is so much
agatnst Don CARLOS inSpain that 1t would
seem that be is about :. played out" If we
may be pardoned the slang. But when we
turn to ALFONSO we hardly know whether
we are permitted to hope that pescs, with
b,m on the Spanish throne, is best for the
people Of Spain. We fear that the man tbal
is 10 be the political savior Of that lll-lale 9
kingdom has not yet appeared. She snou'o
have such man. Her natural advantages
are 50 great that her political life ought mol
to be permitted to die out. Her surround
iugs are such as to fire her with ,emulatioD'
and to teach her the way to greatness ano
Furthermore, to teach her the practical PM
losophy that leads the way TO solid improve
ment and power.
One thing that Spain has to do is TO get RID Of
Cuba. In her condition 1t is a dead weight
upon her. She displays not the power nor
the policy TO manage so rich province
located 80 far from her. MisgoverDed as 1t
is, and as it must be in her weak and dis
cordant condition at home, it can only lead
her into troubles. She wouldsar better cell
it to the United States, and take the money
she receives for it TO improve the home
plsce.D When an improyident heir to several
estates runs into debt, becomes in'
dolent, and allows his property to
decay, he always finds it the only alterna
tive to reform, TO curtail bis acres, sell out
part, improve the remainder, relrench bis
expenses, and concentrate his attention ano
bis cxer,ions upon more limited area. lr
this way he will facilitate any reform be may
determine upon, and become prosperous and
conten,ed. And this be never could Dc
while overwhelmed with debts which he
could not pay, and holding property be could
not Improve. So situated, he could only
DRIFT along towards despair, until he shot
| 10 the Niagara of ruin.
II ALFONSO should 80 reform his kingdom
he would have peaceful aud no doubt pros
Porous reign.

ADDRESS Delivered 10 The LaW Class Of the
University of maryland at The Annual
Commencement Of the La,D Department,
Juue /, 1875. BY W. PoRCnER MILES. OF
Virginia.
We are indebted to the author for copy
of this very fine address. 1t is remarkably
terse in style and elevated in spirit. The
young graduate could not read it without
profit, mental and morsl. II is a pity that
suc1 an address should be married by typo
graphical stupidties, which. in the copy be-
fore US, the author mas corrected. We need
hardly say that the Hon. W. PoRCHER MILES
was, before the war, for some years promi.
nent and able representative in Congress
from South Carolins. Since the war he ba'
become citizen of Virginia, and quietly
pursues farmers life in Nelson county. He
is an acquisition to the State.

Our young men begin to look upon farm
work as degrading and our girls look
with disgust upon the work of the kitch-
en-, where their mothers toiled. respect
ed, and where they can find better CON-
pensation, better health and more re-
spect from society, than in the lot they
are choosing for themselves When our
young men and women look upon all
honest labor as respectable, when they
understand that farm and kitchen work
is as honorable as any occupation in the
land, and far more conducive to good
health and sound morality than city life

A SWIMMING HEROINE.

And now comes pretty little duck
for the palm in the art of swimming.
Her name is Agnes Alice Beckwith and
her father is the champion swimmer of
England. She is fourteen years old. and
her trial feat was performed few days
ago, between London Bridge and Green
wich-a distance of more than five miles.
She performed it in just one hour, seven
minutes and forty-fve seconds. The
stimulus was wager of some two humid
red dollars, and the excitement in OBJ
servers was sufficient to attract great
crowds of people in boats and steamers
to witness her movements all along the
route. She was attired in a swimming
costume of light rose pink llama, trim
med with white braid and lace of the
same color. The water was very smooth,
and the tide running about three miles
per hour. A small boat conveyed the
youthful swimmer and her father and
brother, into the center of the stream,
and at five minutes to five Miss Beck
with began her task. She plunged from
the bow Of the boat with the greatest
ease. and on rising to the surface struck
out bravely toward Greenwich. No soon
er had Miss Beckwith commenced swim
ming than she was beset with number
of small boats, rowed by watermen and
others and they commenced hemming
her in in a manner that seemed abso-
lutely dangerous. Numbers of them
were rowed Immediately before her. and
it was with difficulty that the two po-
lice galleys-one from Mapping and the
other from Waterloo-which escorted
the young lady on each side, could keep
