A remarkable attempted marriage
is reported from Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Two young women who had been
schoolmates, entertainingan 'undying'
affection for each other, went before a
Justice of the peace ard demanded
him to unite them in marriage, that
being the only way, they said, in
which they might be iudissolubly
joined for life. The astonished justice
never before having encountered so
perfectly tremendous an emergency
and having no law to guide him, shook
his head and declined to do anything.
Whether the young women found any
other magistrate willing to humor
them does not appear.

MIR. STEWARDS WILL.

The will Of the late A. T. Stewart,
of New York, bequeathes all his prop
erty and estate to his wife and her
heirs forever. There are few special
legacies. He makes one to his exec
utor, Judge Hilton, of one million
dollars, and the Judge is empowered
to continue and finally settle
up his business in the exercise
of a sound discretion as to the
interests of others. To all employ
ees who have been in his service over
twenty years he leaves $1,000 each,
and those over ten years, $500. To
several other persons there are lega-
cies, but not exceeding in all $780, 900.
There was great disappointment felt
in New York at finding he had made
no public requests, but in a letter to
Mrs. Stewart, accompanying his will,
he states that he leaves to her the
execution of the plans he had formed
for the benefit Of his fellow-men but
which he had not been able to carry
out in his life. He had projected be-
fore death his "garden city and lodg-
ing house for working girls, but it
was generally understood these were
but the beginnings Of larger under
takings. 1t rests now with his widow
and executors to determine in what
way the community is to be benefited
by his vast accumulated wealth.
Death is truly among the great
millionaires. The country need not
be surprised any day to hear of the
death of Commodore Vanderbilt. The
latesc estimate Of his wealth places
it at a hundred millions, and it is in
creasing every day. 1t is said he has
a large library which consists Of scrap
books pasted full of government and
other bonds. He could buy out hall
Of the crowned heads of Europe -
Nobody, not even himself, knows the
exact figures of his wealth. There is
no danger of his falling in the road
so disasterously travelled by Daniel
Drew because he is more careful about
scattering his pro uissory notes around
and sticks rigidly to his library o!
government bond scrap,books. lie is

tinent.

GoLD.-It is singular indeed, that the Press
Of the country, does not take ground against
the continuance Of the psym ent Of duties on
imported goods in gold. To the adoption Of
that policy may be attributed the accumu-
lation Of cne-third Of the entire amount Of
the National debt. Had the "greenbscss"
issued by order of Congress, been made re-
ceivable for duties, they would not have fall
on below the price of Gold at any time dur
ing the rebellion, the great disturbance
In money centres would have been prevent
ed, aud the wild speculation which we wit
messed would not have taken place. The
great mass Of the people and the Government
were nlched and robbed by the course pur-
sued, and yet our Legislators are too stupid
to apply the remedy. When greenbacks are
made receivable for duties, they will become
par, and the question Of the possibility Of
successful resumption Of spe.ie payment on
the part OF the Government and the Banks
will be satisfactorily solved. The issue o,
bonds to take up the greenback circulation
is most abominable expedient, as 1t vii
add to the burdens Of the industrial classe,
and tend to deprsss still further the business
ofthe country. The men who advocate ths
scheme, should be retired to private life, ,and
allowed to sink quietly into oblivion.

said Indifferent times about "honest money"
Any kind Of money is honest that Is worth
the amount represented on it's face, whether
composed Of gold. silver or paper That
which bears the government stamp is s'honest
money! Just % far as It will pay debts or
other obligations. When it fails to meet the
various demands Of the holder, or falls be-
low par, It becomes cheat or fraud. The
Government currency will become "honest
money" whom it is taken in payment Of du.
