HORACE GREELEY is believed to have
been quite as much the friend of working
men as General Butler processes to be. Here
is what he had to say: "We have an irre-
deemable currency-that is, a currency
which is not exchangeable for the specie dol
lars it would seem to represent, unless at a
at heavy and capricious discount. By con-
sequence, the nominal price of every COM
modify is from twenty to fifty per cent.
higher than its real price, regarding coin as a
standard. A barrel of flour or ton of coal
sold for $40 really brings but 81 to So; so
with the wages of labor. Nothing is currently
estimated at its real or specie value, but du-
ties on imports and the bonded national debt.
There are those who fancy these illusory
prices and valuations advantageous to our
home manufacturer. I never could accept
their promises nor comprehend their logic.
A ton Of pig iron that sells for $40 in cur
rency really brings less than $50 when gold
is 1876. The consumer who buys iron rarely
considers that whatever he produces or sells
is estimated or priced by the same delusive
standard, but fancics that iron is dearer than
formerly. If an inflated, fictitious, irredeem-
able currency were favorable to the prosperi-
ty of manufactures, then Hayti ought to be
able to beat the world in manufacturing, for
her government paper currency is at dis
count of 300 or over for one."

The New York Tribune says the sprightly
Springer sis jumping about in Illinois trying
to convince his constituents that he ought to
make them ridiculous again by being sent back
to Congress. His critics notice that since the
cipher revelations the fraud corner of his
mouth has been closed for repairs, and that
he throws all his strength into an effort to
capture the Greenback vote. There is a
Greenback candidate running against him,
and also Republican candidate, which gives
at least chance that he may be defeated, as
his majority was only little over 5000 two
years ago. He ought to be defeated, for the
Capital District of Illinois deserves to be rep
resented by somebody besides political
mountebank."

The electric light has been successfully ap-
piled to the bicycle by an enthusiastic English
man. The motor is the hind wheel of the
bicycle, and the apparatus is a small ordinary
magneto-electric machine with rotary magnet
aided by small pocket battery. The carbons
are regulated by train of wheels, worked by
the front wheel of the bicycle, the consumption
being about one inch per hour. The apparatus
takes up the room of valise, and costs in all
about S25. The light is steady and equal to
12O candles, its great advantage being that it
lights up the road thoroughly for 200 yards on
dark night

The details af an attack npon Republ-
can meeting at Georgetown, South Carolina,
have just reached Washington, says the Bos-
ton Adoertiser correspondent in that city.
1t seems that the Republicans had called
mass meeting at that place and were quietly
conducting it; at the same time, in another
part of the town large Democratic meeting
was organized, attended by two cavalry COM
panies and one of infantry, dressed in uni.
form and armed with rifles, pistols and sa-
bres. These almost Immediately set them
selves to work to break up the Republican
meeting, and some of them went over to the
stand and made demonstration against one
of the speakers, and Immediately produced
general confusion, when armed men made a
combined attack upon the meeting, drove off
the Republicans, tore down the speakers
stand, cut down the flagstaff, pulled off the
national colors, tore the flag in pieces and
trampled it under foot.

SECRETARY THOMPSON, says Washing
ton correspondent, has made general state
ment In regard to his forthcoming report.
He expects it to be finished in about a fort
night. 1t will contain a number of new
recommendations, and he will attempt to
place the condition of the navy in such
light before Congress as to secure more con-
sideration than that department has been
able to obtain of late years. He says Con-
gressmen appear to think, if they appropriate
for the pay of the navy and for keeping the
docks and yards in order, that it is about all
that is really needed, but he will attempt this
year to make them understand that subject
little better. His estimates will be about the
same as the appropriations for the present
year. He says he must, however, have more
morey to protect the immense amount of
public property now going to ruin for want
of care. To impress this necessity upon
Congress, he is preparing an inventory of all
the government property, yards, buildings,
machinery, ships, materials, supplies, etc.,
under his charge, which he will submit to
Congress for the purpose ofshowing what he
needs to care properly for. From the esti-
mates already received these inventories will
show that he has in possession from one hun
dred to one hundred and fifty millions of pub
lie property. The ships alone reach value
OF thirty millions, while of course their cost
was great deal more. He had not expected
any deficiency, and will have none to ask in
the regular bills. He will need deficiency
appropriation for his contingent fund, how
ever, owing to the unexpected drains upon it
to meet the damages which have arisen at
League Island, off Philadelphia, during the
late storm. The damage to two buildings
was one hundred thousand dollars, and to
the dixie from twenty to thirty thousand.
There is no appropriation to cover The dam
ages from storms, and so it is necessary to
use the contingent fund to meet such un-
expected demands. He has during the year
repaired, refitted and made about as good as
new ten ships which have heretofore been
laid up unfit even for single cruise. In the
next three months he will have added two to
this list.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati
Times tells good story at the expense Of the
Rev. D. P. Mitchell, candidate for Governor
on the Greenback ticket in Kansas. Not
long ago Mitchell was making a political
speech of the first order, when he advocated
an exclusive paper currency, and derided gold
and silver as ''twin relics of barbarism." A
few nights after he was preaching at camp
meeting, and described the Celestial City as
set forth in Revelations,-i gates of silver
and precious stones and streets paved with
gold,-when an unregenerate darkey shouted
out, "Stop dar, Brudder Mitchell! No gold
and silver in dat place; dey's twin relics of
barbarismp

Wide Awake for November gives as one of
its chief attractions the pathetic old story of
The Babes in the Wood, versitied BY Mrs.
Clara Doty Bates, and illustrated charmipgly
by Mary A. Lathbury. 1t is safe to say that
none of the modern rhyme-stories will ever
win the immortality that belongs to these
Classics of Babyland. Another gem, with q
beautiful illustration, is Margaret j. Preston's
art poem of Giotto and his Sheep. Miss Plymp-
ton also has an amusing bit of illustrated verse,
The Grown-up Clock. Mrs. O. L. Waitton
and Howard Glyndon also have illustrated
poems. Among the stories is an amusing one
by the Editor, Ella Farman, entitled Bstty's
Tramps, accompanied by a frontispiece.
Laurie Loring has good school story, Down q
Water Spout. Topsy's Thanksgiving is q
story for smaller children. Mrs. Lilies Eug-
lish Literature paper treats entertainingly Of
John Dryden and his Times. There is a bright,
instructive article by Mabel s. Emery entitled

The Burlington Hawkeye has been making
game of a great American institution-the
boarding-house pullet. This is its scurrilous
alluson to the beast: "Among other curiosi-
ties on exhibition at the American Depart
meut Of the Paris Exposition was spring
chicken from an American boarding house.
The chicken was taken to the guillotine one
morning, but when the heavy knife fell on the
neck, the foul gave frightened squawk, and
after one or two tremendous pulls, jerked its
head away from under the knife and made its
way back to its coop in the Exposition. The
knife was sent to the foundry for repairs"

Some important scientific and Industrial re-
suits are likely to follow the experiment Of NJ.
Spring of the Royal Academy of Belgium on
the fine powders of some solid bodies, such
as the nitrates of sodium and potassium, saw
dust, chalk, ETC., with the object of seeing
what result would follow If they were subjected
to enormous pressure. With an actual pres
sure of 10000 atmospheres, he obtained per-
fectly homogeneous blocks Of greater strength
and density than hitherto accomplished by aLy
other process. Some of the blocks were St mi
transparent, and did not reveal the slightest in
dication of the particles which composed them.
The Investigator is continuing his experiments.
