A FEW years ago there resided At the
Mission San Jose, in Alameda county,
Cal. two young ladies between whom,
although not of kin, a strong friend
ship existed. They were married al the
same time and by the same service.
They then took up their residences, one
at Haywards and the other at Alvarsdo.
In the course OF time they gave birth to
children on the same day, the birth Of
one child preceding the other by two
hours. Three weeks later both children
died on the same day. the Oldest dying
just two hours before the other. Three
weeks after the death of the children
both mothers died on the same day.

The Army AND NAVY OF CEISA.-The
Chinese Navy, says a French journal,
consists Of forty-iye ships Of war,
divided into three squadrons. stationed
respectively at Canton, Foochow and
Shanghai. In the Canton squadron are
two gun boats, bought by the Celestial
Empire from Great Britain. An English
captain named TraYer also commands
one of the corvettes at Foochow. Each
OF the divisions is under the command
of provincial governor. The army
consists Of 1.2D0, 900 men, stationed at
various parts of the Empire over an
area Of 1,JJ1. 900 miles. The division
under General Tso-Tsung- Tsang, the
Viceroy of HANSON and Chensi, which
numbered not long since 10000, has
been reduced to 10000 by the constant
wars with the Mohammedans O. the
Northeast, the absence Of sanitary and
medical organization and their horrible
methods % transport. The division
under Si-Hung-Chang consists of 40

American cannon. Nothing" says
Captain rryewaiski, OF the Russian
army, ''can equal the moral degradation
Of Chinese troops. Officers and men
become complete beasts by the quantity
of opium which they inhale, sometimes
falling down utterly helpless and
insensible in the presence Of the enemy.
When it rains it is necessary TO threaten
them with death in order to drive them
from their tents, and often the General
in-Chief is compelled to execute half
dozen OF them before the restare aroused
from their apathy. Whenever the army
is ordered to tents for night the
officers and men scour the immediate
neighborhood and rob and plunder TO
such a degree that the arrival Of the
military at any point is regarded by the
Inhabitants as plague. In fighting
the troops are formed in semicircle,
and attack simultaneously from the front

Mr.. AND Mrs. CALEE MARSHA
correspondent of the Graphic gives the
following account of the appearance OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh, Is seen at their
hotel in Montreal:
When Mrs. Marsh appears at dinner
she wears diamond earrings, three
diamond rings on her right hand, four
or five diamond rings on her left hand
and handsome diamond brooch. The
stones are of the first grade, and some
of them are so large that the total value
of her iewelry is computed at not less
than $4,000. Regularly three times a
dav, about ten minutes after tine dining
room door has been thrown open, Mr..
Marsh is seen 10 enter. He looks at
least tifty-five years old, and walks
with sodate, careful tread that is in
dicative of his character. His head Is
bent slightly forward as if iii thought,
but even a stranger is made conscious
that nothing escapes the observation
of his cold, restless, Gark-gray eyes.
When he uufolds his overstarched
English napkin he makes one think
it is a part of Il carefully-deviSed plan
which is in slow but memorable devel-
opement. \ look OF trouble shows in
the lines Of his mouth. 50 distinct is
this that 1t would create q sympathy
were it not that his bearing indicates
too strongly that he looks upon him
self as a martyr. Mrs. Marsh is said
to he the most MISUNDERSTANDING
little lady that ever came from the
States. She is always dressed in black
silk, when she appears at dinner. Her
manners are graceful and pleasing.
Aside from her diamonds, what Is
chiefly remarkable about her is her
gray hair, which she so manages as TO
make the envy Of every lady that sees
her. Il has soft. pearly luster that is
unique. and is put up in PompadOur
rolls. Those who venture TO guess at
her age put it at about thirty-two. At
the table she talks and her husband
listens. with an occasional brief reply
or smile. Her side face exhibits girl
ISL grace OF contour. and only full
view discloseS the fact that she is an
accomplished and adroit woman of the
world People here who have watched
her closely since her arrival say that
she has achieved a triumph which she
is inclined TO enjoy and IS not cast
down by the exposure of the plot in
which her husband was 50 deeply
eliminated with the ruined Secretary.
She receives no friends, and once or
twice only has ridden ont in a sleigh
with her husband. She is always self
possessed and follows her husband
into the crowded dining room with
the step of a queen, apparently uncon-
scious Of the furtive glances, half OF
admiration and half Of distrust, that
are cast at her from every table.

THE SILVER GILT.

If Il be true that the increased pro-
duc.ion of silver in Mexico and the
United States, and the decreased de-
mand for it III Asia. have produced a
change in the relative values Of silver
and gold-then the loss incident>to such
change mnst fall upon the producers Of
silver, and all efforts to escape that loss
by legislation viii be only so many abor-
tive attempts to avoid the inevitable.
The laws Of demand and supply are
mad III The universal parliament Of
Commerce. and 70 lesser legislature can
repeal hem, or avoid their rule. 1t may
be tia. he present decreased value OF
silver. - compared with gold, is the re-
suit 81 -auses which are temporary. Il
his he -. then as those causes pass
ay-av. silver will regain its value with
mt legislation. But if the changed
conditions are Of permanent charac-
ter, We can only conform ourselves 10
them. and change the standard Of coin
age to comport with the altered values.
At our National MINIS we now put
four hundred and twenty grains c: ST.
yer. zine hundred enc, into dollar II
owing to increased production and de-
creased demand that amount Of silver IS
worth but ninety-fye cents, we can only
accept the situation, change the stand
ari, and put twenty more grains Of sill
yer into each dollar. The immediate
loss necessarily resulting from this
would fall upon the present holders Of
silver coin, and the continuing loss
would come upon the producers Of sil-
ver-where profits would be reduced il
consequence. This loss would Of course
be considerable, but not serious enough
to check development. Our bonanza
kings would not therefore cease to take
ore from California and Consolidated
Virginia. or to search for ore in Next
can or Yellow Jacket. The faith that
can continue TO plunge . stream Of cold
twenty dollar pieces into the kissing
waters of the Savage, and that ham
mers and drills and blasts away at the
irresponsible porphyry hearts OF Ameri-
can Flat Wildcats, is not to be daunted

Comptroller W0Olford Sustained.

The report of the joint committee of the
Legislature, under section "a, article ofthe
Constitution, who were directed to inquire
1ully and searchingly into the accounts and
disbursements of the treasury department,
was made on Tuesday. The committee,
through Col. Walsh, stated that the books
OF the Comptroller and State Treasurer
agreed with the utmost exactness in account
of receipts and disbursements, and "they do
not think it possible that the business of the
treasury department could be conducted with
more scrppulous watchfulness or more exact
ly in conformity with the constitution and
laws"
The report was adopted.
The same committee was also direct ed TO
enquire into the charge made by the Repub-
lican press, last fall, that Col. Woolford had
attempted in 1872 to procure pension for
man in Somerset county who was not enti-
tlel thereto. The committee examined every
person they could find who had any material
knowledge of the facts of the case and report
ed that the said charge arose from misap-
prehenslon on The part OF Col. Earle, in re-
gard to the character of the bill before the
committee of which lie was chairman.
The injustice of the charge was clearly
shown by Col. Woolford, during the canvass
and the people of the State declared their
confidence in his honesty and integrity by
rejoicing him Comptroller by splendid
Nyotc.
The affairs of the Comptroller's office have
never been more ably and successfully mana
ged than under Col. Woofords adminislra-
ton, and the State is indebted TO him for
many valuable practical suggestions in rela-
tIon to questions ofrevenue and taxation, the
benefit of which will be felt and should he
appreciated by every taxpayer.
