The Silver Bill.

The Bland silver bill has passed the Sen ate by large vote, but 1t is so patched up with amendments that it's worst features are removed, and, as passed, will probably do no serious harm but it is now said the ex- treme silver men propose to resurrect the objectionable features expunged from the bill since 1t was originally introduced. and pass them as separate measures, thus finally crowning their dishonest and rascally eff forts with success. This it is to be hoped they will not succeed in doing. The Wes- tern states during the years of imitation bor- rowed immense sums of money from the Eastern states. notably of the New England states and New York state, and they now want Cengsasa.to call ninety cents dollar, 80 that they can pay their debts in ninety cent dollars; or in other words, they want Congress to ''call sheep's tail leg," so that when legs are counted, they will be accredited with large drove of sheep. It still remains to be demonstrated how far dishonesty and rascality can goin the coun- cils ot our nation.

 July 29-The party separated, to meet between Chester and Middlefield, Aye talk ing the turnpike, and the others the railroad. The gang to which we belonged arrived at the designated place of meeting on the morning of July 30. Waited for the oth- CT party, but did not find them tll the next day. Of the eight trsmps In this gang, two are English. (both cigar makers) one . thoroughbred lrishmsn, and tue remainder h-Americans. Their ages range from 22 to 40 years.
 August l-The whole gang started on the tramp toward the town of Washington; we met another party of thirty-three tramps in the woods about twenty miles from Pltts- field. In reply to the question as to what they were up to, they sand they were wat ing for a strike on the Boston & Albany railroad; that there were scattered about ID that country about 400 men who were all waiting for the strikers. The men appear ed ready for any plan of pillage and de struction that was proposed. The propo.- sition to burn the small depots on the road would have been carried into effect, except . ing for our remonstrsnce and the argument that it would be laid to the poor men em- pioYed on the road. The plan of soaptng the rails in various places for the purpose of stopping the cars, was discussed; but feeling sure there would be strike, noth- ing was attempted, they preferring to wait. | During all this time we were engaged in tramplng, we made it our business, at the suggestion of the chief detective. to ascer- tain whether it was the lack of employment that caused these people tA become wan derers and vagrants. Of the entire num- Der with whom we conversed, we found but two who did not scout the idea of gong to work for the purpose ot earning an hon est livelihood; and we very much doubt it these two were ready to engage in any la borious employment.

WAR IN THE EAST.

Quite bluster in the war circles of the Old World last week. The British fleet was ordered to pass the Dardanelles and go up to Constantinople to protect the interests of the British Empire there, while the vic torious troops of Russia were marching steadily but surely to the occupation of the Notifications in and around that city. The Sultan of Turkey protested against the pas sage of the Dardanelles by the British, but his wishes and protest were net needed, and thus was broken by England the sacred treaty of Paris. At one time it seemed as if war between England and Russia was to be lnaugurated without the usual farce of diplomacy, and that, within, as it were, few hours of the first indication of belig- erency between the two nations; but as we write now, (Aonday evening" the first blus' ter has subsided, and Congress of nations is decided upon to meet at Baden Baden to see if & little cold water thrown on the in famed passions of the Lion and the Bear by the neighboring powers, cannot be made to cool or satisfy their unsuitable de- sire for more blood. Russia has signlfed her desire that the United States be made one of the nations selected to arbitrate the matter, but it is now very uncertain as to whether our Government will depart from it's long established principle of non-inter- ference in the affairs of the Eastern counties. Russia recognizes the fact that she has very good friend in the American Nation; and that scarcely SC much can be said of the relations between Great Britain and our country. The part that England took in our war of Rebellion is by no means forgotten; cautious enough to be sure, to keep herself sufficiently ou of our troubles to not become entanglec into an alliance with the side that was tt lose in the struggle, but meddling as far a she dare her motives manifestly being tt encourage the weakest side to fight on, ant continue the struggle till, like Kilkenn! cats, but little would be left of either party and she could perhaps step In and ''lor' it' over us again as she was wont to do il days of yore and now in the war of th past year between Russia and Turkey England has been meddling around amongs all the combattants pretty much all tn time in fact she seems to have her nose i
 every muss, and if in this case she get pretty severely snubbed, very few teal
 will be wasted on this side of the Atlanti over her misfortunes.

sciessiRalseIy So Called.

EDITOR CoNH. WESTERN NEWS In one of your outsiaksxtracts some weeks since, you printed statement from an Irish paper protesting to be scientific, but very full of assumptions (showing that the Irish imagin- ation retains it's wonted vigor) and calculat- cd to throw doubt on the great scripture truth of the resurrection of the body It was just one of those little extracts which go the rounds and sap the faith of the igno- rant. It was assumed that the number of persons who have existed on our globe from the beginning was 65, 237, ,o74, ,155, and that taking the number of square feet of lanG on the globe. it would give ten persons to each square foot.
 Bryant, in his "Thanatopsis," speaks of the dead being everywhere, which is true in s certain sense, but not literally true. There has been no satisfactory evidence to show that the human race is older than the He brew chronology makes them, or not quite 6,0oO years. Now for the third of that time. or 1000 years, England has been known tc history. How much of the area of the kingdom has ever been occupied by ceme- teries?
 At first sight 1t seems difficult to estimate the number of the entire human race, but i is quite simple. Given 5000 years, and : generation every 30 years, and you hav' POO generations: A thousand millions generation, and 1t is liberal estimate, give two hundred thousand millions, (the Irisl writer being only some 65 billions out o the waY). If four persons could stand ol one square yard, there being S,097, ,OO yards in square mile, then 16, Al squar miles, or about one-third of the single stat of New York would give standing room flo all who ever lived. (See Madison on tn Resurrection.) Given two feet by six flo 8 grave, or 8 yards, and all could b buried in territory of 86,O85 square miles which is but little larger than Minnesota.
 On the whole then, we conclude that tn truth of the Resurrection IS not imperille by the argument of one Irish friend.

IRISH IDEAS OF JoURNALIsM.-The Dub lin newspapers are affording an amusing spectacle to journalists on this side of the Atlantic. They are engaged in heated discussion about the propriety of The Free mans conduct in sending 8 reporter to in terview MT. Gladstone on his arrival in Ire land. For this piece of enterprise, which appears to be quite phenomenal in the Uni ted Kingdom, The Freeman is called to ac. count by its cotemporarles, and accused of degrading Irish journalism, by launching an interviewer upon MT. Gladstone as soon as he landed, and "waylaying him for purely venal purpose"-the purpose being to sell more papers next morning, or, as the rival journal puts it, ''To poster him with questions which were to be turned into pence in the following days issue" This paper is led by it's indignation to denounce the performance as great outrage upon Mir. Gladstone, and to remark that s'no dis tinguished statesman should be bounced on without notice and button-holed without permission, for motives of the most abject and contemptible description" After this display of virtuous wrath one might sup pose that the reporter had actually taken the ex-Premier by the collar and shaken his opinion out of him. It appears, however from the published description of the terri- ble affair, that the reporter accosted his VIC tim ciyilly, and presented letter of intro duction from the editor of his newspaper. Then he said that he would wait upon Mir. Gladstone at his perfect leisure, whereupon the statesman replied, "Why not now 9'' and proceeded to answer the questions put to him while the luggage was going ashore. This was the whole offence of the reporter, and the journal he represented added to it nothing beyond the publication of correct account of the conversation, Yet the Irish press is convulsed with indignation. "Other countries, other manners" says the German proverb. If these offended journalists would come to America, they would find very different ideas prevailing of the sancti ty of statesmen and the province of the press.-Iai6une.

A Lost Art.

EDITOR CONN. WESTERN NEWs.-1n MT. Wendall Phillips brilliant lecture on the ''Lost Arts," he forgot to mention the art of making buckwheat cakes. Yet it is lost, as all old people will tell you; as hopeless ly as the malleable glass of the Romans. All chemists tell us that the extra white wheat flour, which the fastidious taste of the day demands, is not the most nutritious. s'By sitting out the bran," says Johnston, in his admirable "Chemistry of Common Life," i've render the meal less nutritious. weight for weight" Our fathers ate black bread and were content we must have it SO white that it is little more than starch, but then how nice it looks. Our love of show spells even our bread. As wheat flour however, has little specific flavor, it loses to the taste only certain sweetness by too fine bolting.
 Buckwheat is not used as food for men in Europe, at least not in England. Amer ica lmmortalized herself by the inventor of the buckwheat cake. Its delicious flavor was all it's own and could not be initiated it was unlike everything else but this flavor resided in the hull. In an evil hour some one got up an extra hulling machine. Nev- CT was seen such white huckwheat flour; !; such nice looking cakes. Onr people went for show in this as in all other things. All our buckwheat ;s now advertised and rec commended as ''extra hulled," and whether the cakes made of it are wheat, rice or In. dian, DO mortal can decide by any marked extinct! The present generation for the most part think they have eaten them but they haven't. Occasionally some wanderer into Western Virginia or some other out the-way spot, where the mills are primitive, comes back raving about the delicious cakes in that ar-off region, and wonders why they cannot be made at home. These were the convictions of the writer, grounded on science, borne out by early recollections and confirmed by abundant testimony. Al last he resolved to try an experiment. He went to the mill and begged for some buck. wheat with little hull left on. He had to plead for two winters before the worthy miller, with good-natured scorn, as he sur veyed his improved machinery, would grant his absurd request. At last the meal came, and such cakes! The old delicious buck wheat taste had come back, and they seem. ed mole digestible too. When the supply gave out and we had to try the fashionable -huled, although the cakes were light and crisp as ever, none of us, not even the children cared for them they had no spec fife flavor their peculiar charm was gone. What hardy miller. rising above the preju dices of his day, will offer for sale to the public buckwheat flour, not extra-hulled He will deserve monument as the finder of lost art. CONSERVATIVE.
