A Big MeteOric Stone.

THE Philadelphia Press has letter
from Chihuahua, Mexico, which says:
Mr.. Muller, a prominent citizen and
banker of this city, the proprietor of one
of the largest and wealthiest estates in
Chihuahua, has shipped to the Centennial
an aerolite Of about one ton weight. In
1855 Mr.. Muller, then living on a large
estate in the northeastern part of Chihua.
hua, directed some of his men to dig into
the old Atzec ruins in search of speci-
mems of their earthenware, of which they
revealed some quite curious and beauti-
full. Casas Grande' was famous old
village of the AtZecs, and one of the three
important towns which they built, and
where they lived long time in their grad
ual invasion Of Mexico and their advance
to the City of Mexico. In eXcavating the
ruins of the largest buildings in the old
village they found the walls plastered
with fine clay, smooth and well colored,
and in these ruins, after finding beautiful
specimens of pottery, they met this mass
of meteoric iron, wrapped in the remains
CT heavy cloth, ten or fifteen feet deep.
The impression of cloth is still visible. 1t
was probably bright when so carefully
clothed. 1t is fair to presume that
the meteor rushing through the Aeav-
state, emitting intense heat and dazzling
light, was received by the ignorant super
stitions of the natives as divine agent or
manifestation, and was, when their fears
and amazement had sufficiently subsidized,
carefully placed in their temple, or they
erected a temple on the spot where it fell
to contain it and preserve it for their wOT-
ship. This seems more probable from the
fact that OF their ruins, except this
meteoric iron and earthenware, nothing
was found but a turtle, skllfully and
beautifully made of copper, believed to
have been one of their deities. There are
several other remarkable aeTolites in
Mexico, perhaps as many as five within
range Of sixty or seventy miles, but the
largest, and perhaps the largest known in
the world, is in the State of Chihuahua,
in the desert near to Parral, of immense
size and weight, not less, it is supposed
than fifty tons. Mr., Muller had a license
from the Mexican Government to take
either of these from the country to the
Centennial. If the large one could have
been removed the public spirit of Mr..
Muller and his desire to add to the inter
est of the Centennial would have induced
him 10 send it on"

The interest Question.

INTEREST Is a m atter not dependent up
on the fact whether money is issued by
the Goyernmqnt or the banks. Money,
in fact, is but means Of eA'change. a
loan of money, substantially anN' pIacu,

serves merely to facilitate the transaction.
The only possible explanation
of Mr. Buchanan's and the paper money
party's outgivings as to lending paper
money is that the Government is to lend
as well as make the money. 1t must be
remembered that this party no longer pro-
poses to issue notes or promises to pay;
it has gone past that point 1t proposes
to issue money instead Of notes
"money" instead of promises to pay
money; and this money Is to be created
by stamping on piece of paper, "This
is ten dollars" and "This is a legal. tender
in all payments" for ten dollars. There
is to be no redemption, because the issue
of these printed papers from the printing
office, like the issue of gold coins from
the mint, is final The Government,
therefore, is to be the grand capitalist 10
loan money to the people. In the absence
of any explanation as to the mode by
which the Government is to lend money,
and upon what security, and upon what
terms, we forbear the discussion of this
point. We, however think Mr.. Buchanan
must have very immature ideas upon the
subject Of rates of interest. Money it.
self has 4 value equivalent to what it will
buy. If$500 in gold will buy 100 barrels
of flour, and $500 in paper money
will buy only seventy-tive barrels of
flour, then the loan of $500 in

lower rate of interest on the equivalent
value of the loan than the loan of the
$500 of paper money at five per cent. If
Nlr. Buchanan can succeed in having pa
per money reduced to sixty cents on the
dollar, the man who bOrrows it at four
and half per cent. will pay higher rate
Of interest on the value received than if
he paid six per cent. on the same number
of dollars in gold. The value of green
backs may be run down to as low as twenty
cents on the dollar, and the borrower who
will take it at two per cent. per annum
interest will pay as high interest on the
actual value received as if he had bor-
rowed an equal number of gold dollars at
ten per cent. interest. The theory of low
rates of interest is inseparably connected
in the minds of these people with an
abundance of cheap money--a supply
thot be inorca-od by merely puttIur
the printing-press in operation. They
overlook the fact that money has value
only to the extent that it represents prop
erty. How much wheat, iron or gold
will the money buy; and as what is called
money declines in value, then interest
on its use increases propOrtionately. We
submit to these people that as there is such
thing as money too abundant and too
cheap, so there may be such a thing as an
excessive charge for interest at nominal
ly low .-CAjcagO Tribune

The Sentiment Of Silver.

SCARCELY any of the youth now in the
public schools can remember when this
silver change, whose chink is now return
ing, went out of circulation. Young
women of age, even, can hardly be eX-
pected to remember il, and yet il does not
seem long ago to those who do remember
sthe old jingle We were we'll into the
war then, for, though specie payment was
suspended in December, 1861, gold did
not have much premium till the summer
of the following year. If the historic
backbone of the rebellion hal been
broken by the capture of Fort Donelson,
as we all thought it had, the suspension
OF specie payments never would have
meant much to the great mass of the peo-
pie. But the backbone of the rebellion
was apparently of whalebone; the great
war went on, specie and little else went
to Europe to pay for imports, the Treas.
ury began to print money, and we con-
graduated ourselves on the remarkable
quotation of our bonds at home. Then
the silver money disappeared, and resort
was had to all sorts of eXpedients to make
change. Merchants issued shinplasters
bearing their own names, and postage
stamps were stuck together ruinOusly and
passed about; later, postage stamps were
framed in brass and glazed with isinglass,
and other ingenious devices were resOrted
to, from which we were finally relieved
by the appearance Of fractional cur
rency." For some reason, scrip, an old
and then little-used word, came into par
lance as the designation of this money,
and this new signifcalion is likely to
stick in the literature of the epoch.
Everybody's first impression is that the
scrip is the lightest, the handiest, the
cheapest to send about, and, in general,
the most satisfactory. But, in point of
cost, the advantage is certainly with sill
yer, for the same reason that a linen col
lar, for a person who cares to be tidy, is
cheaper than paper collars. The silver
coin costs more ut first, but afterwari re-
quires little outlay for renewal, the loss
from abrasion being slight; whereas, scrip
has to be reprinted often, and al no small
expense The coin, moreover, is whole

THE MABEL YOUNG MURDER.
Confession Of Thos. w. piper.

Confession of ThOs. w. Piper.
BOsToN, May 8.
NONE of the mysterious and awful
murders which have brought our city
into notice in late years has created such
an excitement as was produced by the
confession of Thomas w. Piper, made
public to-day. Enforced abstinence from
rum and opium has been breaking him
down, so that the iailers are already be-
ginning to fear that he will never live to
mount the gallows.
His failing health was shown first by
his acknowledges that he knew of
Mabel's death, but that it was the result
of accident; later by the writing of a
long letter to his mother, and, yesterday,
by his confession of the crime for which
he is to die, together with two others
which have bafiled the best efforts of the
police.
Piper confessed in the first place to the
murder of Mabel Young, of which he
stood convicted, saying that he had felt a
desire all day TO kill somebody, and had
taken bat up into the belfry with which
to do it. He laid in wait for girl about
twelve years old, but Mabel fell in his
way, and, at her request, he went up with
her He killed her by striking her two
He also confessed that he was the muir
derer of Bridget Landregan, which crime
was committed in the year 1878, and for
which he was once arrested and discharged.
The evening on which he murdered her
he was possessed with the same desire TO
kill, and he neryed himself by drinking
a compound of opium and whisky, and
selected for his instrument of death a
piece of a wagon shaft, which he sawed
at the proper length and secreted. He
then went out to watch for his victim
TIE unfortunate one he selected he saw
get out of horse car. He did not know
her, but he got his club and followed
her to secluded spot, when he crept up
behind her and struck her two terrible
| blows upon the head. He then ran
home, from which he had not been ab-
sent more than fifteen minutes, and went
to bed.

Tyner in July, 1874, for which he has
never been suspected. He was in her
room at night, and seeing that she was
sleeping, was seized with the desire to kill
her, and he accordingly beat her upon the
head and left her for dead, escaping
through an open window.
The date of Piper's execution is fixed
for May 2G. There is little doubt about
the truth of his statements concerning the
two murders, but some discredit is thrown
upon the other matter by the detectives,
who think his object may be to create a
belief that he is insane and irresponsible,
The public, however, demands his execu-
ton, and there is no hope for Executive
clemency.
