silver currency question. We haye no ques-
ton Of tho sincerity Of our correspondent.
We object to tho accuracy and Justice Of his
conclusions. Tho Government proposes to
issuo 842,o00,00 Of aitvor to redeem tho
fractional currency. 1t is tho substitution Of
ono deprecated currency for another. As
tho fraotionala have to DO constantly renewed,
it is beginning to assume cost that ovon-
tua1ly will e1cood tho cost Of silver with
mont will probably save largo percentage
on the coinage, and the business OF rodomp-
ton will bo 1nished. So far We think silver
coinsge may 60 because token currency Of
somo kind is necessary, and silver Is cleanor
ind better than pnper.
But our correspondent wants the Govern
ment to so further and coin silver with
which to rodeem tho public debt Of all kinds.
The Government has no silver Of It's own
except few millions, and must purchase
what it usca- How is It TO get hundreds Of
millions Of silvor2 It must buy 1t with
bonds, thereby increasing the public debt. It
cannot buy silver with silver bonds, because
thero Is no foreign market for such bonds,
but must issue gold bonds.
Our correspondent thinks that, by
mixing silver legal -tendornow, 1t can DO hon.
estly mud fairly used to redeem bonds
payable in " coin" issued at time whom the
only coin known to tho law Us legal-toudor
over s. was gold. Why not anything
else? Thero is no doubt TINT Congress can
mako silver logal-tonder, but can it be mada
lcgal-tondor for debts contracted to be paid
in something else? But, waiving TINT qucs-
ton, wo return to tho othor, How Ia the Gov
ernment to got the silver? II 1t sell gold
bonds for silver, then tho debt remains l,n-
diminished As tho silver is now worth loss
than greenback dollars, it will purchase
loss debt than can be purchased with
groenbaok dollars, 81 that, it tho Govorn-
ment Is to purchase tho outstanding debt in
dopreciated money, 1t Ind bettor employ tho
paper. To issue gold bonds in exchange for
silver, and then employ tho silver to purchase
bonds, silver being steadily on tho doclino,
will iucroaso tho debt inBtend of reducing 1t.
We cannot share our correspondents antici-
pations that the adoption Of silver coinngo
as standard Of valuos will produce better
tlmea or Ercnter prosperity. how the sub
stitution Of silver coinage worth ut prosont
81 cents for paper currency worth 81

the gonoral prosperity, is ono Of those in

rency for amnu transactions. Its issue Ia

tion. But, beyond TINT, tho Government Ind
better not go into tho coinage Of silver,
whose value is declining, and will continue
to deolino for q long timo to come.

The Outlook for the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad.

Wheeling wv. Va.) Intelligencer.l
The present status of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio resembles that Of the
Northern Pacific. A railroad has
been built from nowhere to nowhere,
or, in other words, from Richmond to
Huntington, just as the Northern
Pacific was built from Duluth to the
Red River of the North, and in both
cases the bonds seem to have col
lapsed Just as soon as the sale Of
them ceased, or rather as soon as the
interest on them could be no longer
provided by such sales. 1t is very
manifest thatthe best thing that can
happen to the Chesapeake and Ohio
is to pass into strong hands at a
low price, and thus afford decided
inducements to go on and perfect its
western connections. Although it
has cost more than 100000 it
can not probably be sold for $10,000,-
600, and it is probably dear at the
latter price as it stands to-day. Be-
fore it can be road of importance it
must reach Louisville and Cincinnati.
The sooner it is sold the sooner will
it be finished to these cities, and the
sooner will it be able to become a
great instrumentality for developing
the resources of Virginia and West
Virginia.

GENERAL GRANTS term of office

which day occurs on Sunday, and
consequently the Inauguration of his
successor will not take place until
Monday, the 5th. To an inquiry as
to who will be President in the inter
regnum of twenty-four hours, the
Journal Of Commerce explains that
there is no law or provision termina-
ting the Presidential term "at l2

March. The Constitution provides
that the President shall hold his Of

The combined capital of the
Rothschilds is stated by Emile Bur
nouf, the publicist, to have attained
in the present year to the sum OF
seventeen billions of francs, or
$S, 400, 100000. The significance OF
these stupendous figures, says the
New York Sun, may be rudely con-
ceived by comparison, but there is
nothing in the history of private
wealth with which they can be COM
pared. The capital of this house,
as estimated by NJ. Burnouf, is about
equal to the whole funded debt OF
Great Britain or that Of France, and
considerably exceeds the National
debt of the United States. At the
period of Rothschild's first decisive
triumph OH the London Exchange
the day after Waterloo, sixty years
aqo-John Jacob Astor was already
a rich man. The great fortune
which the latter bequeathed is not
believed to exceed at present fifty
millions of dollars, while the inher-
itance of his Hebrew contemporary
has been swollen to more than sixty
times that sum,

A LYRIC OF LIFE.

/ BY MRS. SARA NOLf ERlON.
"Lsa't he a gentleman fnside9''
Iheard lady say:
As two conversiug sat, one late,
And lovely Autumn day.
And wherefor did she that, you ask?
'Twasnot because of what
He did, but just an act of kind
And gentle thought did mot.
Perhaps you think he did not know
The pleasure he might bring:
And after all, twas but small,
A very little thing.
All, YES, bit of time, some words
That any scribe could write;
But yet they held the meaning-in, to
make
A dark room rery bright.
The greatest streams o'erflow their
banks
The smallest flowers to bless;
The soft south winds ne'er measure out
TO man their lOve-caress.
And so the grandest hearts give out
True courtesy. They kno,v
What makes the gentleman, and can
Not help but giving so.
1t makes no odds to me, tho mines
Were dug to deck his form;
Tho books piled mountains high, and he
Took learning's lore by storm.
Unless from out his heart there flow
The streams of kindness true,
| count him-but Il piece of sponge
And now, what say, don't you?

A New Way Of Getting a Pair
of Shoes.

New orleans Pieaynne.
1t is recorded that a certain impe-
cunious man who boards around in
the Second District, was some .davs
ago aroused to the melancholy fact
that the fall was on him. to be fol-
lowed in due course of time by the
stern and vigorous winter. when no
man with the proper amount of feel
ing in his feet. could go barefoot. The
matter was one of painful interest to
him. and he pondered long and deep
ly on the way he should overcome the
misfortune of depleted purse. and
at last he got an idea. an unusual
thing for him, bnt strange to say it
was brilliant one. He acted on it,
and this is how he did: With the
assurance of n man with y well-filled
pocket, he entered shoe store and
had his measure taken for covering
of his foundations. The obliging
Crispin received particular instruc-
tions as to the manner and style of
the make, and his new found Gus
toner left. but only to enter another
store some squares below, where the
same performance was gone through.
In time. both pairs of shoes were
made, and the shoeless man. with the
dignity of a free and respectable cit
izen and legal voter, called on shoe
maker No. l, tried on the right foot
shoe, and came to the conclusion that
it might fit better if he had on a
pair of socks. Would the shoemaker
be so obliging as to let him take that
shoe home? and if it suited he would
come back for the other OF course
the shoemaker was but too happy,
and the purchaser left, and No. was
visited. From him the left foot shoe
was obtained in the same manner,
completing the pair.
There are two mad men down town,
and if the shoe purchasing chap ever
crosses the way of either there will
be trouble.

From the Journal of Health.
To regain or recover health per-
sons should be relieved from all anxi-
ETY. concerning diseases. The mind
has power over the body. For per-
son to think he has disease will Of
ten produce that disease. This we
see effected when the mind is intense
ly concentrated upon the disease of
another. 1t is found in the hospitals
that surgeons and physicians who
make speciality of certain diseases
are liable to die of it themselves, and
the mental power is SO great that
sometimes people die Of diseases
which they only have in imagination.
We have seen person seasick in an
ticipatiOn Of voyage before reach
ing the vessel. We have known a
person to die of cancer in the stom-
ach when he had no cancer or any
mortal disease. A blindfolded man,
slightly pricked in the arm, has faint
ed and died from believing that he
was bleeding to death. Therefore,
we'll persons, to remain well, should
be cheerful and happy; and sick per-
sons should have their attention
drawn as much as possible from
themselves. 1t is by their faith that
men are saved, and it is by that faith
that men die. If he wills not to die
he can often live in spite of diseases,
and if he has little or no attachment
to life he will slip away rs easily as
a child will fall asleep. Men live by
their souls, and not by their bodies.
Their bodies have no life of them
selves, they are only resources Of
life-tenements of their souls. The
will has much to do in continuing the
physical occupancy or giving it up.
