"THE BIRDS OF K1LLNGwoRTH."-w trus

"THE BIRDS OF KILLNGwoRTH."-We trust
that all our readers like poetry. The person
who does not admire and appreciate poetry,
misses many of the rarest treats that fall to the
lot of mortals. OF this class is "The Birds Of
Killingworth," on our first page, from the pen Of
Longfsllow. Besides its genuine poetry, we pub
lsh it as appropriate to the discussion of the bird
question, just now in progress. We believe
Longfellow writes for civilized, sensible and hu-
name people, and possibly may not win the ap-
plause of those who enjoy the manly sport OF
loafing whole day through the woods and fields,
engaged in shooting little birds for the fun Of
the thing.

Nearly every one has been reminded by his
death of 'Doesticks." He first appeared in the
Detroit Tribune and then went to New York
City. He published several books, among them
the "Witches of New York." and gave his name
to the elephant Club" His unfortunate habits,
including q use of opium, clouded his latter
years, but he leaves many friends. He was
twice married, first to daughter of Gen. Give,
of Michigan, by whom he had q son, and after

A DeEess- Of fGreenbaek.-Apd a Criticism sp-
On the Fashion Of AbusiuE Them.


MILWAUKEE, June 24.-It has been for long
time fas hionablo to abuse our greenback curren-
cy. II would seem that those paper stamps were
somehow something to be ashamed of, and that
unless we join in denouncing them, or at least
keep silence while others do so, good sense
and good intentions, our honesty of purpose and
appreciation Of that which is right, will some
how or other be compromised. We must either
shout ont contemptuously "Irredeemable shin
plasters; rag money" or be quiet, lest we may be
taken for fools who don't know anything, or for
knaves who want to cheat somebody. !, for one,
am getting tired of the blasts blown from that
horn of destruction, and would welcome n turn
in the time, and as such the currency plank in
the platform of the Ohio Democrats suit me.
Our greenback currency is not 'rag-mOney,"
nor anything to be ashamed of nor to be got rid
OF IN hurry. livery dollar or dime of it is good
for Its face, good for what it says it is; the best
currency to do business with the world
ever saw, and redeemable for its face value as
fast as we need it-in fact n dollar is worth a
dollar IN gold at its creation, worth it now, and
will be worth it as long as the United States en-
dure as virtuous and patriotic nation. The
conjoined cry Of press and convention through
out the land, however loudly swollen or long
continued, connot change one fundamental fact,
established and unalterable; and that is the sue
cess of the Government in the great conflict
through which We have passed. The stability of
our Government; the flag floating over all the
| land, and over every sea, respected everywhere
as the sign of our nationality. Order, liberty,
law, and unhindered progress, secured on this
soil for all time against all foes from without and
within, are what we have secured for what we
have paid since 1861, or are still to pay. part
of that great value has never been estimated,
] and never will be. We yearly put flowers on
\ the graves of our dead soldiers where We can
1 find them, but there are no Government bonds
| ort as interest, no despised greenbacks held at
hdlne, 70 represent any part of the value of what
their lives would have been had they lived in
peace and posperity on this side of the bloody
flood as we do now. A portion of the value OF
| what We have got and have and hold to-day has
been measured and valued in gold and called the
natonol debt. 1t may be S24 ,O0O, 900 900 more or
less, but every dollar of that is worth dollar in
gold to us and to all the world to whom the ex-
istence of this great Americas nation is worth
anythng.-Ailicaakee Sentinel, (RepublicdR.)
