Silver Currency.

The present depreciation in the value
of silver, and the large supply in the
MINIS and Sub Treasures of the coun-
try, says the Washington correspondent
of the New York Tribune, will be taken
advantage of by the Secretary of the
Treasury within short time to carry
out the provisions of the first section OF
the Resumption act of the last Congress.
The section in question provides that
the Secretary may, at his pleasure,
issue silver coins of the value OF
ten, twenty-five and fifty cents, and re
deem an equal amount of fractional
currency of similar denominations. It
is understood that the minis on the Pa
citic coast have been heavily engaged In
coming silver for this purpose for some
time past and that the necessary orders
will be issued to the Sub Treasures with
in fortnight to begin redemption. It
is understood that the currency of the
denominations of ten and twenty-five
cents will be first redeemed, and that
the orders will embrace 10000, 600 as a
starting point.

curious il True.

The cracked bell of the engine S. p.
Chase has been noticed by all who live
within hearing distance of the Atlantic
and Great Western Railroad. Beneath
harsh and rugged exteriors incidents of
deepest pathos are hidden. The bell of
the S. p. Chase is vivid illustration.
Once, and but few weeks since, its
tones, SO discordant now, were the
most mellow and musical on the
line. The story is simple, short, and
affecting.
One of its engineers had been charmed
with the vision of lovely girl along his
route. He made her acquaintance, and
there was every prospect of its happy
and prosperous termination through
life. One day the engineer was gradual
" Stacking up at the depot of the town
in which she lived. Several unforeseen
events had prevented him from seeing
her for nearly month. A church-bell
of the town was Ginning merrily, and a
wedding party entered the depot. AS
the bride drew near the car, the en-
gineer, who was holding the bell-rope,
suddenly gasped for breath. The hand
holding the rope grew stiff and rigid.
What followed he did not know bis
first consciousness was when the fireman
epaptied over him bucket of water. HIS
right arm fell numb and sore, and when
the train started the bell gave forth that
fiat sound which now distinguishes it ;
subsequent examination showed it to be
cracked.
Just how it came about has not been
satisfactorily explained. The most
plausible theory, entertained by the
railroad men generally, and by the en-
gineer himself, is that when he saw the
bride, who was the girl previously men
toned, the shock that followed possessed
some of the properties of electricity
The subtle fluid, by some fortunate mis-
chance, entered the right side, and in
stead of rending his heart, which was
not located there, it passed along the
rope to the bell and cracked it, The
numbness of his arm and the sensations,
as he remembers them, go to sustain this
hypothesis, which, if correct, suggests
also that love, so long puzzle to the
profoundest philosophers, is made up In
great part of electricity, or of some force
not unlike In It's nature. Be that as it
may, the engineer retains this bell as a
reminder of his own narrow escape. He
has foresworn faith in women entirely,
but the tones of this bell, so hard and
grating to the ears Of others, are never
heard by him without fervent gratitude
when he recalls how nearly he was him

$500. 600 for commission and $3.50, 900
for three months interest. Add to this
the profits which the house may have
made by buying Egyptians when they
were at their lowest, and the certainty
that the transaction, of which they had
the secret, would send UP the stock to a
high price, it would be very moderate to
estimate the gains of the Rothschilds on
this little transaction at a round million
of dollars.

HOnOrS to a Dead DOG.

Reuben Cook, of Meriden, Conn.,,
thought great deal of his famous hunt
ing hound, Old Sport, and when the dog
died, the other day, he gave him de-
cent burial. A casket was provided ap-
propriately frescoed with hunting scenes.
Four men were selected as pall-bearers.
After the box had been deposited at the
grave, one of the mourners present read
brief history of the dog and his pedi-
gree, and a quartette of male voices sang
hymn. After the burial, grave stone
was set up bearing the dogs name and
age, and offering o reward for the detec-
ton of the one who poisoned him. Mr..
Cook is going to get bronze cast Of the
dog and put it on his grave.

Retrench.

One lesson, at least, is being taught us
to-day, and a needed one it is, too that
as people we must become more simple
In our taste. If this had been said
three years ago, it would have made no
impression on the people. God prepares
peoples hearts for the seeds of truth, as
the farmer prepares the soil for the
spring seed and he has been preparing
us for the past year or two by misfortune,
and disaster, and pressure OF business,
for this seed of necessary truth. Let it
he known, then, to aall of us, that we
must get along with less costly carpets,
less expensive furniture, less luxurious
surroundings in our homes. Our women
must manage to live with fewer dresses,
and find amusements more at home and
less often at the opera and widely her
aided "matinee." Gentlemen must cut
down their personal expenses, give up
their champagne suppers. smoke cheaper
cigars, or none at all, and stay at home
evenings getting acquainted with their
wives and children, instead of playing
poker and intriguing at clubs. We must
return to the good old-fashioned habit
of close living, the good old sty lie of sim
pie taste and Inexpensive habits which
distinguished American life half a cen
t1ry ago, or we shall land in national
bankruptcy and social chaos. The ques-
ton of universal interest, to-day, is, how
to keep, not how to spend. "For whose
ever hath, to him shall be given, and he
shall have more abundance but whose
ever hath not, from him shall be taken
away even that he hath. - Porson

There is disease which causes SUCH acute PAIN OF
