Mr.. Chittenden,s Funding Bill.

Mr.. Chittenden's bill on the currency,
before the United States House, is en-
titled "a bill for paying the legal tender
| debt in harmony with justice and the re-
/ peatedly pledged faith of the government
of the United States" A preamble re-
fers to the fact that the legal tenders were
originally fundable into six per cent.
bonds, and would not have been issued
except on that consideration ;recites that
the amount of paper money now in cir
culatiOn is in excess of the demands of
trade that it is now apparently practi-
cable to fund the notes into forty-year
| four per cent. bonds, and that the United
States must like all other debtors pro-
vide for its honest obligations or be dis
credited. The bill itself is as follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
OF Representatives of the United States
of America, in Congress assembled, That
the secretary of the treasury be and is
hereby authorized to withdraw, as soon
as the necessary preparations can be
made, the legal tender notes of the
United States, whenever presented by
the holders thereof, and issue therefor,
dollar for dollar of face value, coupon or
registered bonds OF the United States in
the spirit of the original Legal tender
act; Provided, That the bonds authorized
by this act shall be payable in gold at
the expirtion of forty years from the first
day of January, 1877, and bear interest
at the rate of four per cent. per annum,
payable quarterly in gold.
Sec. 2. That the bonds authorized by
this act shall be available for deposit in
the treasury of the United States for
banking purposes under the various pro-
visions of law relating to national banks.
Sec. g. That the legal tender notes re-
ceived in exchange for bonds under this
act shall be destroyed, under such regu-
lations as the secretary of the treasury
may prescribe.
Sec. 4. That all laws inconsistent with
this act are hereby repealed.

Cloud Banners Of the Aims.

Among the most exquisite scenes which de-
light the eve of the European traveller, are
those rose colored cloud banners floating from
the Alpine cliffs. But il is only in the sunlight
that nature hangs out those beautiful tokens.
So il Is only ia the glow of health-tle sunlight
Of our inner being-that nature reve; Is th lse
physical cloud banners, the rosy cheek and
"cherry lip" to praise which every poet Of the
earth has invoked the muse 10 aid him. But
they are as rare as the cynical Hood conceived
Christian charity to be. Woman, eager TO re-
tain this charm, resorts to French art and
rouge. The effect is similar TO that which
would be produced by substituting auctioneers'
flags for the delicate glowing cloud banners Of
the Alps. If woman would aid nature instead
Of adopting art, would seek health instead of
vainly trying to mask disease, she would not
only win the greatest charm of womanhood-
health-but she would avert much misery both
from herself and Others DIR. Pierce's Fayorite
Prescription has received the highest praise
from thousands Of pale, delicate, suffering
women. One bottle often affords more relief
than months of treatment by caustics and other
medicines 1t il harmless in any condition of
the system, and its use often renders the
modest invalid exempt from the most trying of
ordeals-a personal consultation with physi-
clan. 1t is the duty Of every woman to become
familiar with the causes and symptoms of the
many diseases to which her peculiar organiza-
ton renders her liable, and also to learn the
proper means of preventing these maladies.
The Peoples Medical Adviser contains an ex-
tensive treatise upon woman and her Dis
cases." The author also advises courses Of
domestic treatment, which will often render
the services of physician unnecessary. Every
woman should read it. A copy of the Adviser
can be obtained by addressing the author, DIR.

A Western Lynching Case.

Phil. Ames, living in Iowa on the
Platte, had wife and five-year-old,
but loved his sister-in-law. The little
girl died suddenly; there was rude
country funeral in bitter cold wind
under leafess trees, and the beartbroken
mother went back to her cherries home
crushed and despairing. Her husband
had no words for her, but consoled his
!sister-in-law. The neglected wife opened
her heart to village gossip, and vigil
lance committee visited the house at mid
night, dragged the faithless husband
from his bed, and would have hung him
to tree if his wife had not pleaded for
his life. They took the rope from his
neck and set him free. After the neigh
bOrs had departed he took heavy curb
bride from the barn and going up stairs
struck the poor woman as she was kneel-
ing at prayer with a photograph of her
child in her hand. He dragged her to the
head of the stairs, threw her down, and
used the bride until shewas dead. Her
sister now appeared on the scene two
horses were saddled, the sister-in-law
was put on one and the corpse on the
other; he led the CHASTITY cavalcade to
the river, where he cut hole in the ice
and dumped the body. A villager espied
him at his work and bore the tidings to
the settlement. Armed men started in
pursuit and came up with the murderer
and his companion just as they were
mounting their horses at the bridge.
Shots were exchanged the woman fell
dead the murderers horse was shot
down rope was brought forward, and
the confession was wrung from him that
his little daughter had been poisoned by
her aunt He was hanged without delay,
and his body was burned. Such is life
in the breezy West.

Popularity.

The popularity of Messrs. James S. Kirk K
Co. s soaps, manufactured in Chicago, is shown
by the unprecedented sale which their goods
have reached during the year 1876. This by
far is the largest soap manufacturing concern
in the United States, producing and selling in
all parts of this country, from the Red river of
nually. No so-called greases enter into these
soaps. Only pure refined tallow and vegetable
oils are used containing no adulteration. Fair
and square weights always reliable. This is
why their soaps are 80 popular with all good
and economical housekeepers

Nervous Exhaustion.

Seek TO remove, in the first place, the
causes, whatever they may be, which
have induced prOstration. No doubt
the nervous centres, from which all
nervous powers and force are derived
are exhausted, and where this is the
case time is required in order that their
nutrition may be thoroughly re-estab-
lished. Let the person then avoid over
doing, always working or taking his
pleasures within the limits of any taxa
tion of body or mind; let him secure
agreeable social associates; live largely
in the open air; sleep as much as posi-
BILE; eat nutritious, but unstimulating
food, such, for instance, as is afforded
by the various preparations of milk,
fruits and grains, principally wheat, so
far as grains are concerned, because it
contains more of the nerve making con-
stituents than any other grain. Avoid
the use condiments of all kinds and
alcoholic liquors; remembering, how
ever, that if the person already accus-
toned to such diet, the change must
be made gradually, although positively,
in order that the nervous system may
not be thrown into perturbation by sud-
den withdrawal ofits accustomed stimu-
lation. All of the habits of life, in re-
gard to work, exercise, pleasure, eating
and sleeping, should be in accordance
with a thorough regularity of action in
each twenty-fOur hours. He should
take two baths each week, in which the
body should be very thoroughly washed
in tepid water, and rubbed afterward 10
insure good capillary circulation.
Some of the most eminent physicians
are coming to advise as the best means
for permanent cure of nervous pros
tratiOn and debility, radical change in
dietetic habits, embracing the use of
unstimulating, but nutritious food, in
the place of the more stimulating arti-
cles, such as meats and condiments.
By carefully following such course,
health should be restored.-LGars Of
Life.

English and American Contrasted.

Always are these contrasts present
ing themselves. An American build
ing house surrounds his front yard
with light fence, or with low curb,
in order that the flowers, or lawn, or
plants may be seen and enjoyed by the
public. An Englishman, under the
same circumstances, constructs all
around his premises thick brick wall
fifteen feet high. He then buys up all
the broken bottles in the neighborhood,
and cements these on the top of the
wall, with their sharp edges up. Then
he goes inside, locks the gate, takes out
the key, pulls in the key-hole, goes into
the castle, and is happy.
Among us detective vision is regarded
as defect, the same as lameness or
tumor; here it is a merit. An English
man is not truly happy until he can not
see more than three feet in front of him,
whereupon, with a monocular glass,
screwed in one eye, he is supremely
blessed. Probably the reason that
blindness is so much ap-
preciated here is that it enables ma
tive always to have an excuse for not
seeing, and, therefore, not recognizing
somebody else.

The Flight of Birds.

Ia the time of Henry the Fourth,
King of France, there was a famous
falcon-a species of hawk-that was
trained 10 fly from Fontainbleau to
Malta, a distance of | $50 miles. in the
short time of twenty four heurs. Other
birds have even greater power to sus-
tain themselves for long periods in the
air. Thus the frigate, or man-of-war
bird, is sometimes found on the Atlantic,
thousand miles frem the shore, flying
in various directions in search f food,
so that he must have flown much more
than thousand miles in getting there,
and probably flies much farther in get
ting back; making, probably, journey
of four or five thousand miles without
any rest. 1t has been said of this bird
that it never visits the shore except
during the season for Matching its eggs,
and that it sleeps while posing itself
on its wings at great height. Besides
all these various arrangements to keep
the bird long on the wing, there is still
another of remarkably intesesting
character. You know how a fire bal
loon is made to rise by heating the air
in it with small piece of sponge filled
with alcohol, and set on fire, so that the
heated air is ever rising under it and
lifting it higher and higher in the air
The air thus heated is expended and
made lighter in the balloon, so that il is
crowded up by the colder air always
getting beneath it. Now, there is
something like this in every bird that
flies The natural heat of the birds
body is greater than that of man.
For intances, the heat of the human
body is ordinarily about 80 degrees,
while that of flying birds is from LOG to
ll2 degrees. Now, this heat of the
birds body expends the air in the lungs,
the bones, the quills, the feathers, and
air sacs, so that it makes it easy to keep
afloat in the higher regions; and as
eagles, hawks, and other birds of prey
eat animal food alone, and as this has
more heating properties than vegetable
food, the bodies of such birds have a
higher temperature, ard so are able TO
keep longer on the wing than those birds
that live entirely on seeds Hence we
never see those seed eating birds flying
so high and remaining so long in the
air as the others that eat flesh.

Small Means.

We think that the power of money is,
on the whole, Overestimated. The
greatest things which were done for
the world have not been accomplished
by rich men, or by subscription lists,
but by men generally of small pecuni-
airy means. The greatest thinkers, dis
coverers, inventors and artists have
been men of moderate wealth, many of
them little raised above the condition
of manual laborers in point of worldly
And it will always be
so. Riches are oftenPr an impediment
than stimulus to action; and in many
cases they are quite as much a misfor-
tune as blessing. The youth who in
herits wealth is apt to have life made
too easy for him, and so grows sated
with it, because he has nothing left to
desire. Having no special object to
for, he finds time too heavy on
his hands; remains mentally and more
ally asleep; and his position in society
is often no higher than that of poly
pus over which the tide floats.

A Beautiful Thought.

When the summer of youth is slowly
wasting away on the nightfall of age,
and the shadow of the path becomes
deeper, and life wears 10 its close, it is
pleasant TO look through the vista of
time upon the sorrows and felicities of
our earlier years. Ii we have had a
home TO shelter and hearts 10 rejoice
with US, and friends have been gathered
around our fireside, the rough places of
wayfaring will have been worn and
smoOthed away in the twilight of life,
and many dark spots we have passed
through will grow brighter and more
beautiful. - Happy indeed are those
whose intercourse with the world has
not changed the tone of their earlier
feeling, or broken those musical chords
of the heart whose vibrations are so
melodious, so tender aud so touching in
the evening of their lives.
