Denies the Charge.

CHICAGO, May l, 1876.
Hon j. r. Jones, now Collector Of
Customs, formerly U. S. Marshal at
this point, denies the charges of pecu-
lation made by Caulfeld and his com
mittee, and explains facts which at
first appear damaging, on the theory of
entire innocence. He says that the
Statements that my deputies earned
larger sums than were paid them is
true. The salary of Marshal is fixed
at $4,000 year, and the only way he
can get more than that, is by serving
processes himself or by eating por-
tion of deputies earnings.

AR A PREMIUM.

The silver bill recently passed by
Congress provides for the redemption
of fractional currency with silver coin,
The total amount of fractional currency
in circulation at the time the Act TOOK
effect. was supposed to be about Soo,-
900, 600. This will be redeemed upon
presentation at the Treasury or sub
Treasury of the United States ia pack
ages containing not less than five dol
lars each, but in any multiple OF that
amount. The Act does not prohibit
the printing of fractional currency,
which will be issued as heretofore to
supply the demand; neither does 1t
provide for the redemption of green
backs other than fractional currency, IN
silver. AS silver coin, to the amount
of five dollars, and for all purposes
which require small chnage, is equal
in value to gold in the Pacific States
and Territories, the silver bill is likely
to muddle the currency question worse
than ever. In the Atlantic States silver
is at par with greenbacks. and ia the
Pacific States at par with gold. East OF
the Rocky Mountains two silver half
dollars are worth So cents in gold. but
west of that great barrier, thsy are
worth, or. at least, pass current for
100 cents in gold. As silver cannot be
obtained at par from the Government,
except for gold or fractional currency,
the shin plasters are at premium,
and their purchasing power, in silver,
il equal to gold, or from eleven to
twelve cents more than the greenback.
The United States is now blessed with
four circulating mediums, and like the
stripes on the showman's hyena, mary
two of them are alike, or appear to
have fixed value.

Ben entirely blameless, aud for the

A good story is told and vouched
for by we'll known auctioneer in an
eastern city. Some year or more ago
the auctoneer lad for sale large lot
of homeopathic medicines, the little
white pellets of which the patients
dissolved six in a pailful Of water to a
dose. When the sale occurred all
these medicines were dumped into one
pile, and disposed Of in one lot, there
being various kinds Of medicines in
the mass. A boarding-house keeper
bought the lot, and some days after
the purchase the auctioneer asked
her, "What do you want with that
homeopathic medicine, Mrs.---?"
She replied, Il thought | could use
it, and it was cheap, 50 | crushed it
under the roller and then filled my
sugar bowls with it. The boarders'
seemed 70 like it, and especially
when powdered over pies.

Just across the OHIO river from
MCoy's station, on the Pittsburg &
Wheeling railroad, there is an old gas
well which was purchased by some en-
terpri,ing Yankees about four years
ago, who built works and laid pipes to-
distribute the gass through large
number of burners over which were
placed u great extent of metallic
plates to collect the fine SCOT formed
by the combustion Of the gas. This
SCOT being scrapel off is collected in
barrels which hold about forty pounds
each, and is sold to printing ink man
ulactures. The article used for this
purpose was formerly sold at from
$3.50 to $l,15 per pound, but 1t IS
now supplied bv these parties at 40

well has Welded profit in the four

the habit of tobacco chewing could
be cured by tasting an apple every
time he felt inclined to partake Of the
weed, gave the recipe one days trial:
As lie felt a hankerirg for the weed
all dav, he devoured a bushel of ap-
pies before bedtime, AMI retired with
a chunk of the fruit in his mouth,
which accidentally slipped down his
throat, and nearly choked him to
death. He resumed the use of the
weed next morning.

Was the parting ever better?
Was the band clasp very tight9
Is storm of tear drops filling
Der a lace all sad and white?

Slowly mol,lering out, must die,
But its ashes shall return you
