Financial Nngarics.

A correspondent at Newark propounds
certain inquiries respecting the dcpreca-
ton OF the grccnback dollar, which do not
seem to us 10 possess much practical force.
To describe precisely when this depreciation
begins, or how IL proceeds * To go over
the whole history of our financial expe-
Renee; and this could not facilitate cure
Of our present evils. 1t IL enough to know
that, as our correspondent suggests, the
Federal Government is responsible for this
depreciation, and is thus bound To restore
the currency to its former state, when II
dollar In paper was worth a dollar I'm gold.
We urge this duty increasingly, without
stopping To dwell upon the errors of the
past. or to speculate upon the steps and
methods by which W. have YEARLY dragged
through the mirc Of insolvency
Our attention is also directed to Tonnes
see genius who writes to the Athens Post,
proposing a scheme of "rclicf' for our stu
alton. The defects Of his plan, and Of many
other similar plans. are In their utter linz
practicabilty, and in the fundamental error
OF the suppo-ition on which they are based,
that Government can restore prosperity 10y

Of thousand folli"s among people high
and low To cXtingui-h those follics Is
as impossible as to destroy the mosqui-

task. We patiently await the nipping frost-
Of public judgment and the irresistible
forces Of truth, which Will finally freeze

Yesterday afternoon another comedian

LETTER TO PRESIDENT HAYES
On the Duties OF the Hour and How to Per-
form Them.

MR.. PRESIDENT:
II YOU had not set ont on the high
road to reform-if you had merely re-
manned in front of Il political organl-
Zation-We certainly would not take
up II moments time in Offering Il
thought to YOU. But this you have
not done. On the contrary, YOU have
thrown more than half defiance ut
the men who regard YOU us their po-
litical creation. Don t stop at the half
defiance; make it Il whole defiance.
Begin by setting an example that all
may he compelled, though all may be
unwilling. to follow.
Civil service reform. Why enter
upon it at all-why speak of it ut all
if Won have not the courage and the
devotion to enter upon it solidlv and
earnestly and in the right place! To
cut down the price or lengthen the
hours of manual labor in the service
of the republic-is that reformt To
leave the ten thousands and the fifty
thousands untouched-is that reform!
The worker with the plane or the
hammer in our navy yards might well
be ready for rest after eight hours
labor. was it Il reform to compel him
to work ten hours. or reduce fifth
part off his pay Many of those la
horers have to 90 two or three miles
to their work to answer the roll-call
ut $50 a. IN. How early must they
| leave their bed to hasten their frugal
4 hreakfast-hasten it under assurance
that if they are ever so few minutes
after hell-ring they lose. at least. a
1 fourth part of what they expected to
earn, Believe the IRISH WORLD for
( this once-believe it that the public
have no desire for. no sympathy With,
Il change like that. while the ten
thousands and the fifty thousands Re-
main untouched. As for the great
work element-and that element. re-
member. is vet the arbiter Of this
nation-it will regard this change OF
yours as a defiance. as another cyl
dence Of the growing antagonlsm-
the conflict of claSseS-whlch one o.
the '.classes is provoking by their
cruel and unjust Entertainments OF
the other.
Mr.. Hayes. Won stand at the base o.

cordingly started out and searcned
through the jungle for four days,
without finding any trace Of the lost.
On the fifth day they come TO the
Sakarang river, where every one OF
them went in bathing. They swan
down the river short distance, when
one of the number fortunately dlscov-
cred some clothing lying on the near
est bank, which. on examination prov
ed to be that of their missing friend.
Close beside it lay the sumpitan, or
bloW-pipe, and the short sword which
he ALWAYS carried with him.
A little later the party heard voice,
and. after dressing, they set out III
search. They followed narrow IA
vine which led back from the river.
scanning every nook and hole, search
inc under coverts of leaves and dead
fallen branches; but in vain. They
were on the point Of retracting their
steps, when they again heard the
voice, and this time it said: Ali! all!
mari! mari.
1t was the voice of Tupa, and,
strange as it may appear, he was soon
discovered high in q tree, naked, ana
large Ourang-Outang was his com
panion. A rifle shot brought the AM
NAL to the ground, where she was
soon finished with knives. Then the
young man came down and told the
story of his singular adventure.
He had been out hunting, he SAID
and, late in the afternoon, had gone
into the water of the Sakarang tC
battle. On returning to the bank tC
dress, he was seized by the arms by al
orang- outang, who made him follow
her into the ravine. They arrived al
the foot of a tall tree, which the youth
was forced to ascend until he had
reached the animals nest, where he
found himselfsa prisoner in comforta
bic lodgings. Day after day be re
manned there, the ourang-outane
graciously supplying him with fresf
fruit and vegetables, and even bring
him water in q cOcOa-nut.
