YACHTING NOTES.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-12-18

BETWEEN the extremists who would
drive cut of the country either gold or
silver, thus contracting the actual
money in the country and compelling
our people to trade at a disadvantage
with the rest of the world, there is a
middle course fraught with the benefits
of the fullest possible resumption. In
some countries gold is the legal tender,
but in the majority of the countries
with which we sustain commercial re-
lations silver is the legal tender. By
maintaining both gold and silver as a
legal currency, we shall be able to con-
duct all our foreign business on 4 cbn-
venient and economical basis. If we
were to have only n coin as a legal
tender for any amount, it would be
better to have that one gold, for the
reason, in part, that by far the greater
proportion of our foreign traffic is with
the few countries in which gold alone
is the standard Of monetary measure
ment. In readjustiug its financial
system, this nation ought not to be
swayed by blind prejudice. There is n
great deal at stake. The boldholders
cannot demand gold, o the debtor
class silver.
Congress ought TO adopt whatever
plan would suhserve the general inter
est, and that would be TO coin silver
dollars which would he worth, rs nearly
as possible, rs much as gold dollars.
This country has heretofore "
coined n silver dollar, tenof which were
not worth, at the time a least, as much
rs n gold eagle. OF the two, the Unit
ed States is committed TO the silver dol
lar worth more than its face in gold.
To go TO the other extreme now, on n
pretense of returning to the dollar of
the fathers,'' which is today worth
less even than our paper greenbacks,
would be impolitic, if not absolutely
dishonest.

4 Tradition Of The Rabbits,

The celebrated teacher Rabbi Meir
sat during the whole of one Sabbath
day, ~instructing the people. During
the absence from the house his two sons
died, both Of them of uncommon beauty
and enlightened in the law. Ills wife
bore them to her bedchamber, laid them
upon the marriage bed, and spread Il
white covering over their bodies. In
the evening Rabbi Meir came home.
"Where are my two sons" he asked,
shat 1 may give them my blessing? l
repeatedly looked around the school
and l did not see them there"
She reached him n goblet, He prais-
ed the Lord at the going out of the
Sabbath, drank, and again asked:
"Where are my sons, that they too
may drink of the cup of my blessing?''
"They viii not be far off," she said,
and placed food before him that he
might eat.
He was in II gladstone and genial
mood, and when he had said grace after
the meal she thus addressed him:
rabbi, with thy permission, | would
fain propose to thee one question"
ASK it then, my love-" he replied
"a few days ago II person intrusted
some jewels TO my custody, and nov he
demands them back again; should l
g VI them back again?"
This is n question: said Rabbi
Meir, my wife should not have thought
necessary to ask. What! wouldst thou
hesitate or be reluctant 10 restore to
every n his OWN"
NO." she replied, "but yet l thought
it best not to restore them without ac-
quainting yout herewith"
She then led him to the chamber, and
stepping to the bed, took the white cov-
ering from the dead bodies.
"Ah! my sons, my sons.'' thus loudly
lamented the, father; ''my sons! the
light of my understanding, | was your
father, but ye were my teachers in the
law
The mother turned away and wept
bitterly. At length she took her hus-
band by the hand and said:
rabbi. didst thou not teach me that
we must not he reluctant TO restore
that which WIS iutrusted to IL keep
ing? See, the Lord gave, the Lord has
taken away, and blessed be the name

Singing Nice.

Boston, December Recently | saw
in your journal an extract from Nature
in regard to singing mice. Mrs. I'm
derwood, the wife of the Superinten-
dent of the city institutions on Deer
Island, Boston harbor, writes me as
"Our sitting-room has an open soap.

Ex-sECRETARY ELKNAP.


The Des Moincs Register, referring
TO the rumor current at the cast that
ex-Secretary Delkuap IS Il drummer for
a sewing machine company, replies ms
follows 10 the report: 1t ia singular
how men and editors will wait for years
to get n chance to lie and he witty
about a mar they do not like. The
| above is a sample. There is no truth
in it. 1t is of a piece with tie coarse
| and cruel inventions which stupid and
vulgar-mimded editors exhibit in still
keeping up their filings at Mrs. Belknap,
invading the privacy Of her home, tue
sanctity of an unstained life and the
s~acredness Of wOman's right to protec-
ton, in order TO show their innate
coarseness and v%ulgarity. One Of the
inefTaceable stains upon tie American
press is the cruel and wicked treat
ment which some of its papers have
bestowed upon this lady-a gentle
woman in private life, who had no
means of striking back, and whose
conduct since tie sensation ut Wash
ington has been of such shrinking
privacy and entire retirement, Il NJ 1t
ought of itself have shamed the pursu-
ing jackals of tlc press into silence.
General Bclknap, if he had gone into
the humber business of 'being Il drum
mer,' would not he ccnsurable therefor,
but would deserve commentator in
stead, if his situation had impelled him
to abandon his profession and go to
some other work. Instead Of that,
however, he is pursuing his profession,
that of the law, with success, and is
building mp n good practice, 80 that
there was no excuse for this last and
stupid dig ut an already over-pounded
man.. He is not penniless orin n friend
less condition. At the last meeting of
the Army of T%eunesseehis old comrades
in arms showed their abiding friend

restore him to his old place in popular
favor by putting him in prominent
position in their oniciary. lie has
many other friends, too, who without
doubling that he made a mistake which
led him ints w~rong-doing, would give
him another chance, and cry down this
perpetual pounding of him ut the hands
of small and vengeful creatures who
were made, and no doubt justly, to feel
the weight of his hand when he had the
