AZ Silver bas become .uch a drug in
the market that tho SILVER dollar is worth
only seventysix ctnis in gold. This lac,
is seized upon by class ol inastionists
aud regulators OF the Batter stamp, to
start q new scheme for the universal de.
fraudipg Of creditors. Mr.. Kelley, Of
Pennsylvania, has introduced bill which
authorizes the issue Of an unlimited
quantity of silver dollars to be legal ton
der to any amount, and it is received with
80 much favor that it is likely to pass the
house at an early day. Whether the
outrage will receive any favor in the
senate or not. does not yet appear, If
this measure is to be approved for the
purpose of diminishing the national debt,
why not repudiate directly, which would
be no more dishonest, and save the in
jury to private creditors ?

It never goes backward. AS prices di-
miuish better quality Of article is pur.
chased As for instance, we used to
purchase the 81 per pound tea that
quality Of tea can now be purchased for
$50 but it does not satisfy and we take
the 81 toa which formerly brought s 25.
This practice, among consumers. OF es.
timating the worth of thing by price
rather than its quality, is quite common.
Nothing short of the sternest necessity
will bring us down to the simnle and
economical style Of living We formerly
submitted to without murmuring. But
that necessity seeems to be fast approach.

pate it before they come To absolute

Border Life, Present and
Past.

The terrible fate Of Custer and his gal
liant three hundred, adds another tragic
chapter to the great book Of border
events, whose beginning dates from the
earliest settlements of our country, whose
end will be only when the indians as
race shall have become extinct.
The horrors of the Modoc campaign
are yet fresh in our memories. The his.
toric Lava Beds, Indian cunning battling
the skill of our soldiery for so long time,
savage malignity and treacbery culmin.
ating in the death of the brave Candy and
others whose mission was honorable trea-

deeds that compose the history Of the
ozark and Bloody Ground" or among
those which mark the bloody tracks Of
the treacherous Mngoes; descending from
their Great Lake Businesses upon the un.
suspecting tribes and settlements Of the
Susquehanna and Allegheny.
So with this heart rending story of
upon the country so suddenly, and which
is being read amid tears Of sorrow and
calls for vengeance, from one end Of the
land to the other. Some may fluid its par.
allel in the history oil l.eonidas and his
three hundred some may seek for like
sacrifices amid the annals Of the Scottish
Chiefs or Polish Patriois. But 1t is only
when we turn to the thrilling chapters OF
our old border history that We read and
ro-read, in intensified form, the bloody
story Of Rose Bud and Big Horn Rivers.
Custer and his three hundred, men am.

@ Some of the discussions on the
river and harbor bill have been exciting.
To begin with, the bill had Objectionable
features enough, but it kept growing by
the demands of the locality. statesmen,
each Of whom had some pet scheme Of his
own to carry, until the amount Of the ap-
preparation proposed became enormous,
no less than seven millions. Senator Ed.
munds virtuously opposed each unwar.
rauted item OF increase, aud by his firm
resistance and powerful arguments almost
stemmed the tide against tho log.rolling
influences. 1t is likely to pass. however,
though the president is announced to have
made up his mind to veto the bill in what
ever form it comes to him, for which the
country will be glad and thankful. The
speech of Senator Edmunds, in which
were references to "Otter Greek, 4" Mid
dlebury College" "the inland commerce.
and " steam boating above the falls wal
one of his happiest efforts.
