A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT SPEAEs.~-IIon.
Sidney Il. Bevans, a life long aud prominent
Democrat of Jersey City, is out for Hayes and
Wheeler. lie was a Presidential Elector on
the Democra &c ticket four years ago, and has
represented bis district i'll the Legislature of
this State. He is member of the New
York Cotton Exchange. His reasons for not
supporting Tilden IRE that I've knows him to
be u tricky, selfish politician, whose preten-
tions to superior honesty arc all sham, and
he IS especially opposed to the attitude of the
Democracy on the school question. Mr..
Bevans is cognizant of some of Tildens stock
and other operations that are of question:

lis man who swears he will not use
moley to aid his nomination and then un-
blushingly does just the contrary, the right
man to elect to make laws for the people.
The man who votes 70. such candidate pat
ronizcs perjury.
Every Republican IN this Congressional
District and every Democrat who wishes re-
putable men elected to Office, should vote Tor
Veglite, the Independent Democratic candi-
date. He is a man of good character and
ability. and as the Republicans of themselves
could not.e elect Republican in this District,
let them aid The better portion of the De-
mooracy IN placing an honorable man in the
position.
Tho Republican Congressional Convon-
ton ut Somervile, on last Monday, decided
that it was inexpedicnt t2s2ominatesa candi~.
date for Congress- 1t is understood that Mr..
Negbte, OF Somerville, an able and honora-
bic Democrat will run as an independent
candidate. Somerset county is incensed at
the nomination Of Alvah A. CLARK, and will
give fifteen hundred majority for Mr.. Veghte.
Tho nomination of Lewis II. Taylor, Esq,
by the Republicans, on Tuesday, as their can
didate Cor Senator, is an. excellent one, and
he should receive the votes of honest men of
both parties. His life has been q reputable
one, lio is a man Of good business qualiica-
tions, and the nomination has neither been
sought or bought by him. AS between him
and his opponent there can BIO no doubt as to
choice il character and qualifications are taken
into account.
Again a majority of the Democratic party
have shown their utter want of self-respect
by nominating for Senator man who was
repudiated at the polls by the best men of
that party .hree years ago Then his record
was such as to make him, in their opinion,
utterly unworthy of the honor that he
sought Has anything he has done in the
past three years wiped ont that record 2 Nay!
lie rather has intensified it. Shall such a
man be elected to-the Senate Of New Jersey ?

quire no such sum. In the first place
the whole amoant of gEeenbacks Is but
Iabout one-half tAat sum; and Che ma
tfoaal bank currency is redeemable IN
|greeabacks. Nows when she greenbacks
are brought to par with coin. tAe ma
tiOnal bank notes will themselves be
equalto coin, because they are convert
ible into greenbacks. There, conss-
quently, can by no possibility be more
coin required than is sufficient to redeem
issued Of IT'S notes $50, GOO. It wishes to
redeem the whole issue. IL can
not be done forthwith, huS only as
they may be presented for redemption
in the course of business. The bank Is
meanwhile accommodating and holding in
reserve greenbaeks in amount sufficient
to redeem as demanded. When the
whole issue is redeemed by the bank the
notes are cancelled and destroyed. The
greenbaeks that redeemed them, we will
suppose, are carried to the Treasury for
redemption, and the gold paid for them;
and they are likewise cancelled and de-
stroyed. So that the bank has redeemed
its issue Of $4,000 and tho Government
has redeemed its issue Of like amount,
and tor the whole $780, 900 of redemption
only $4,000 in gold was paid. On the
theory, therefore, OF requiring an ac-
cumulation of coin equal to the whole
amount OF currency redeemable in coin,
it would require but little more than
one-half of the $700. 900 stated by our
writer.
/ But even that theory is wrong in prac-
tlce:-Because it presumes an immedi-
idiate demand of the whole greenback
issue as soon as resumption is an
nounced. This, of course, is an ab-
.surdity. Let it be once known that the
greenback is worth its face in gold
and but comparatively few OF the
whole forty-Hve millions of our people
who hold them would care to present
them for redemption. 1t is perfectly
we'll known that but moderate per
cent. of the issue is ever required for
redemption when coin is payable on. de-
nand. When the Bank OF England re-
sumed after her suspension of twenty
five years, only seven per cent. of her
issue was presented for redemption.
1t has been proposed to take steps for
assumption by accumulating 80 per cent.
in coin for the redemption Of the green
backs. Instead of 500, 900 in coin,
, this would require about $3.50, ,OOo'
This is large sum, but not beyond our
reach within reasonable time, and we
believe that on a basis of such pro.
portion Of coin to currency, resumption
would. be perfectly safe. 1t is to thai
result that some such steps must be ta
lken; aud the sooner the better.

A MAN KILLED BY A MoUsE-An ex-
traordinary occurrence was brought to
light at an inquest beld on the body OF
a man ia South London. In a work
room where many young girls were at
work small mouse suddenly made its
appearance on table, causing,of course,
considerable commotion and a general
stampede. The intruder was seized, how
ever, by young man who happened to
be present, but the mouse slipped out
of his hand, and running up his sleeve,
came out between his waistcoat and
Shirt at the neck. The unfortunate man
had his mouth opened, and the mouse,
on the lookout for some convenient
place of concealment, entered the mans
mouth, and ne in his fright and surprise,
swallowed it. That mouse can exist
for considerable time without much air
has long been popular belief, and was
unfortunately proved to be fact IN the
present instance, for the mouse began TO
tear and bite inside the mans throat and
chest. and the result was the unfortunate
fellow died after little time i'll horrible
agony. Several witnesses corroborated
the above facts, and medical testimony
as to the cause of death having been
oiyen, a verdict Of accidental death y
was returned.

There is living to-day near Hagers,
town, Maryland, an old lady by the
name of Elizabeth Schnebly, born 10th
OF February, l773, within three miles
of where she now resides. She is now
in her 1O4th year, having lived in the
house where she now resides sc years,
and been a widow 32 years. Her mind
is good, and for one of her years, quite
active, being able to attend to all her
own business such as overseeing her
large farm, going to Hagerstown city
TO make her own deposits in bank, DC.
She well recollects having seen General
Washington, and in speaking OF the
hardships Of the rebellion and the war
of 1912, says they are nothing compar-
ed to those of the Revolution, as the
men had all gone TO the war, and on
more than one occasion she helped dig
graves aud bury the dead during those
trying times. She is truly a remarka-
Lle woman, and should by all means be
induced to attend the Centennial. Her
residence is but short distance from
the State line, on the Cumberland Val
ley Railroad.

Snow n Hundred Feet Deep.

Mr.. +. Is. ClarkSon returned from his
California trip recently, and relates some
interesting incidents OF bis return over
the mountoins. lie left San Francisco
at eight o'clock on Wednesday, March
Is. The telegraph had reported fear
ful snow storm III the mountains, COM
mencng on the 18th. Supposlng the
road would be opened by the 18th, Mr..
ClarkSon started hOmeward. rs
All along the Sacramento Valley ev-
erywhere was smiling. The cattle were
luxuriating in the grass knee high, and
the plains were decked with flowers.
At 2 Z. NJ. the train turned eastward
to ascend the Nevada mountains, and
by ~ clock reached Blue Canyon,
tiom which 10 Truckee the snow was
from tour to twelve feet deep, and in
gulches it was in some places one hun
dred feet deep. Those who have kept
snow gauges on the Nevada report a
tall OF 399 inches of snow during the
winter
Immense snow ploughs, operated by
locomotives and hundreds Of Chinese,
had opened the roads over the Nevadas,
and the train was on time until it reach
ed the town OF Wells, on the Hum
boldt mountains. There they overlook
the trains which had left San Francisco
for the four days previously. The road
from Wells to Toauo (thirty six niles
was still blockaded, no trains having
passed over that section for four days.
The snow was any depth from four to
fifteen feet AS the wind was still
blowing, to open the track with shovels
was as futile as emptying the ocean dry
with a spoon. Seventeen lOcomotiyee
were assembled at the western end Of
the blockade, eight of which were put
behind an immense snow plough. The
five passenger trains were massed into
three, and thus arranged charge was
made on the obstruction. AS such
power was hard to resist, in three hours
the snow-plough was pushed through
TO ToaBo, and the caravan Of trains
reached Ogden only three hours behind
time. But the successful trial demon
strates that trains can be pushed through
any blockade ever likely to impede any
road. The change coming down the
mountains was as great as that go
ing up them. In the valley of Salt
Lake, farmers were plOughing, and the
atmosphere was mild.
Starting out again in few hours the
deep SHOWS encountered again on the
Wasatch range, so deep that at some
OF the villages the combs OF the roofs
of some Of the houses alone could be
seen. But there was no obstruction (;
yet the cars crowding along between
snow banks as high as the roof was IL
teresting to the passengers.
On Saturday, the 18th, the train en-
countered fearful snow-Storn on the
Rocky Mountains, at Sherman, lasting
until midnight of Sunday. Sometimes
there was danger of the train being
blown from the track. Taken altogeth-
er, Mr.. G.. gives a glowing account of
the scenes and incidents of the entire
trip from San Francisco TO Des Moines.

Mrs. Benjamin F. BntIer, who has
for number of years suffered from a
swelling on the neck, died at the Mass,
General Hospital, Boston, on Saturday
morning. Her medical adviser said the
enlargement of the gland could be op,
Grated OH successfully. Mrs. Buffers
suffering continued TO increase, the
lump in her neck pressing so hard upon
her windpipe that it was with the
greatest difficulty that she could breathe.
Mrs. Butler and the general arrived in
Boston from Washington on Tuesday
night last, aud consultation was held
the following day, when it was decided
that an operation should be performed.
Mr.. Butler was accordingly removed to
the hospital, and at IL o'clock on Wed
nesday the operation was performed.
Instead of the suffering proceeding from
au enlargem ent OF the glands cancer
was discovered, the roots of which had
encircled and penetrated the windplpe,
leaving but little space for the functions
of breathing. The doctors skill was
baffled by the cancer, aud the general
was informed that nothing could be
done to save the life Of his wife. Mrs.
Butler was the daughter of DR.. Hildreth,
of Lowell, and had been on the stage.
Her appearance was as star at Louis
