but the time in other contests, equally
good, cannot be impeached. Barbour

records at that distance, Culvers quarter

woman Dress?

Mr. Bayard Taylor, who was in Boston
during the Centennial, for the New York
Tribune, writes with great enthusiasm
about the freshness, the youth and love-
illness of the ladies Of the Woman's Cen
tennial Committee, dressed as they are
in the costumes Of century ago. To the
trained eye of Mr.. Taylor, which has
looked upon female beauty under polar
and tropic skies, the plain gowns of dark
stuff, high white aprons, brown kerchiefs
and white rufled caps" as seen at Bos-
ton, "were vision of delight" and he
says that there was not gentleman pre-.
sent who did not take away the same i'm.
preston. Something of the same senti
ment will be remembers as having pre-
vailed here in Cleveland at the Lady
Washington tea party, given at GARRETT
Hall few weeks ago. There were pre-
sent hundred or more of the ladies Of
Cleveland, dressed in Centennial cos
tunes, and the uniform male remark o.
the evening was that so many beautiful
women had never been seen together il
| Cleveland before. The philosophy of i
all is that the masculine mind does no
take enthusiastically to the cumbrousl,
ornate, tied back drapery of the presen
period, and in his wall for return to tn,
graceful simplicity OF the olden time, tn
Howadji of the Tribune simply utters

TYnEerinq the Curreney.

Experience proves that it is dangerous to
unsettle the currency Of country, and it
never should be done if it can be avoided.
When Congress met after the close of the
war Of the rebellion, it commenced to
tinker the currency. Greenbacks were
legal tenders, and the Government bonds
were at par, hut were payable in the cur
rency of the country; as property the
greenbacks were equal with the bonds,
and the bonds helped to keep up the
greenbacks. But sudden fit seized upon
Congress, and to make the bonds more
saleable it resolved tina. the tonds should
be paid in gold. This carried the bonds
high above the greenbacks, and, IN fact,
destroyed them as legal tender; FOR
they could no longer be used to pay of
the bonds. They were legal tenders for
the people but not for the Government.
This act struck heavy blow at the real
estate of the country. 1t has been going
downward ever since. Ii transferred the
value to the bonds; and ever since labor
has been made to sweat to meet the gold
interest. This tax for interest must come
out Of the labor and the land and the
farmers are made to pay heavily for eve.
rything they buy. Sugar, coffee, tea, to-
becco, whisky and many other articles
are double the price they sold for before
the war; and thousands of other articles
are made excessively dear by the tariff
4 little on each, but enough on the whole
to take all the profits the land Yields
And now it is proposed by the western
farmers to tinker the currency the othel
way. If they do succeed in making tn,
bonds payable in greenbacks, of course thu
value viii be again transferred. 1t will
ssain most likely go into real estate; ant
aelds that now are left without cultiva
tiou will be made to bloom and blossom
~ the rose; and the farmer will fn'
his lands again valuable and the pride 0
his household. Whether the change nov
would be benfcial to the country in tn
end Is questionable matter.
