 wonderful variety of character found in our sex. Martha is most devoted Catholic, while no Moody or Sankey or Monsignor Capel has ever made the least impression on the Perverse. One day in Holy Week the sisters went to hear Father Trombone atthe noted Chapel to which he attracts such crowds They took ''front pews" and the preacher took his text from Bel and the Dragon in the Apocrypha. The sub- ject did not suit Martha who got commun- ing with her own thoughts-far nobler than any of Trombono's. The Perverse followed the sounding Italian of the preacher, especially as he likened the Dragon to Professionalism and began belaboring the enemies of the late Pope. Trombone was powerful on the pause and he made particularly long stop after the inquiry, "Who, Of modern heretics, would pay the greatest price for so dreadful, soe oedestructive a monster" "Barnum," suggested the Per verse, sottO Coce. The half-heard question. the pause, and the wicked suggestion, brought poor Pia's mind back in jiffey, not to the real scene, but to Clumps. ''P T. Barnum l" she fairly shouted in tones of triumph. In another |
 instant she had come to her senses and comprehended the full measure of her iniquity. A moment more, and she tainted dead away. Luckily few comprehended the nature of the interruption. The preacher knew no English; the poor girl was carried of on plank, with the Perverse weeping hysteri- eally ct her side; and the service went on. To this day, Martha Pia believes that it was Satan who whispered that dreadful word into her ear, and switched her intellectso cunni ngly off from piety into Clumps ;and so does Father Trombone to whom she confessed everything. She has forsworn Clumps, and talks of taking the veil while the Perve rse occasionally tells the true story in confidence to afriend, till now pretty much all Rome knows it. ANToN1A.

DRESS PARADE VS.. ACTION.

1t strikes us rs rather strange that
Col. Hutton, the editor, proprietor
and publisher Of what he calls the
"only Democratic paper in the coun-
ty," should fail 20 carry the ticket at
the head Of his paper. We learn
from good authority that his chief
rcason for thus insulting the party
and nominees, is that it savors too
much Of the rural rooster style The
Republican don't do it &c. Ofcourse
it is out of the question for your read
ers to look for anything in your pa
per not in the Republican Cor LED
GER) the day before or expect you to
put the ticket at the head OF your col
umrs if the Republican don't follow
the same practice, but, friend Hutton,
we will say that every county paper
in the state (and q few OF them
who's editors are at least your peers
even in good looks and tone) carry
their respective tickets at the head of
their columns. 1t matters not how
sore they may feel at not having the
ticket headed by the name of their
editor, and we would assure you
that although you may aspire higher
and be above the common hearl of
country editors and try to sheer at
their plain and practical way Of work
ing for their party and county, that
you are still a ''rural rooster" bob
tailed at that.

hopeless hours of the Republic. With
victory, it recovered strength, and
but for the immense mass in circula-
ton and whispered and ontspoken
suggestions of reptdiation, it would
have quickly risen to par, or nearly
par with coin. With the funding OF
the greenback and preparation for its
redemption, this paper now ranks
with gold. Although, as yet, the
government has not redeemed dol
lar of it with coin, spectators freely
and willingly exchange their gold for
it. Public confidence in the people
is so great, that immediate resump-
ton is not demanded.
Staid cid Massachusetts and Coy
Maine are adopting Western plat
forms favoring repeal of resumption /;

Even the vacilating policy of an
uncertain treasury does not affect

MANUFACTURE OF CLOTHING
IN NEW YORK.


On a recent visit to the city ofNew
Yord l was fortunate enough to meet
Mr.. L.. Phillip, the clothing merchant
of Mexico, Mo-, and under his direc-
ton / visited the wholesale clothing
house of Levy Fro. & Co. And l
must say that there was nothing in
the American metropolis that inter
ested me so much. In the upper
story of the building there is an i'm
smense half a hundred feet square, or
nearly so, in which are employed a
large number of men. Here the
goods that are to be made. up are in
troduced fresh from the looms. They
are unrolled by one man, who passes
them over to another, who puts them
through a steaming process: This is
very important as it prevents any flu
ture shreinkage in the goods. As
soon as they have thoroughly steem-
ed and pressed the material, it is
passed to the Inspector. This man
does nothing but inspect the goods.
Each piece is passed over a frame
and under a good light; the skilled
eye of this professor of the art of ex-
animation, detects all defects and
permits no faulty goods to go on the
table of the cutter. After the in
spection the goods are folded and
placed upon the tables of the cutters.
The cutting is done by machinery.
OF some goods tqey can cut eight or
ten thicknesses al once. OF the
beevier goods not so much. Patterns
are placed vpon the upper piece and
the outline is marked as a tailor
would mark his goods for the shears
and then a little machine is guided
by the hand of the workman along
the line with as much eXactness as
any one could guile the scissors.
These goods are then turned over to
the large force that puts them togeth-
er after the most approved manner.
And the house that takes such care
in the manufacture of goods has nc
lack of customers. For all the goods
that are made under such care are
no sooner ready for the market thar
merchants from all sections of oul
great country are ready to take them
Another feature of that New Iorl
house interestek me greatly. Tho
proprietors are ISraclitcs, that believe
in and adhere to the ancient faith o
that people. And so when Friday
night comes the hangs are all PAID

ABSOLUTE MONEY.

The proposition to issue absolute
money ought to be met with unflinch-
ing resistance. At best the creation
of such a currency, according to the
avowed designs of its origlnators,
would be a lawless and violent at
tempt at punishment. For that rea-
son alone it should be secuted. II
is too late now to reach those that
made money out Of currency fuctua-
tions, and the insanity of the propos-
cd measure as an instrument of vim
d~ictiveness is conclusively proven by
the almost absolute certainty that the
class that was most benefited by
past mutations and contractions, is
The one most likely of all others, to
reap even greater fortunes from future
unlimited issues of paper money.
The greenback endorsed at JefIer-
sou City was never fiat money. 1t
never was any thing beyond promise
to a one or more dollars, and there
never was any thing recognised a q
dollar by the laws of this country,
but so many coined grains of gold OF
silver, and in all probability under
the present constitution there will
never be any other sort of dollar.
Neither did declaring greenbacks
to be legal tenders impart any pur-
chasing value to them. At lest II
conferred nothing beyond capacity IT,
pay debts at the end of the law. OF
how little Importance that was and
is, can be discovered by considering
how small a portion of the contracts
entered into, are enforced by courts
Does not every one avoid as far as
possible business likely to lead to
litigation. Had the greenback been
dependent on its legal tender capaci-
~ alone for consideration it would
not have had wide circulation, or il
it had 1t would have destroyed credit.
What then impaired its most impor-
tant attribute, its purchasing capaci-
ty to the greenbackl Nothing but
confidence In the willingness and
ability Of government TO receive or

JOHN ANTICS.

DOllIN IL ~ ~
Mr.. Sherman has made himself
and his policy of resumption redicu-
lous by his %vacilations. One day he
orders redempti N of greenbacks
with silver and almost on the next he
rescinds the order because there is
no law authorizing what he contem-
plated and directed.
1t is scarcely probable that Mr..
Sherman issued his circular without
consultation. He may have been
badly advised but he ought TO have
remembered that the House had re-
fused to concur in the Senate's pro-
position to receive grecnbacks for du-
ties. Smarting under criticisms on
such unexpected exhibitors Of apa-
rent want of back bone and being
also reported to have said: "When
it IN to q question between legal
tender notes and national bank notes
1 am in favor Of the legal tenders all
the time" Mr.. Sherman has written
a long letter OF explanatsnn,in which
no denounces the New York Times
sc n common scold and talsliicr.
But for this letter we might have
concluded that Mr.. Sherman had Ia
ken his stand fairly and squarely on
the Jefferson City Democratic plat
form without objecting to the declar-
alton that resumption was Impossible
in the present condition Of finances.
| His letter, however, shows that he
never had any such design and never
intended to 90 further than to express
an opiuion that both legal tenders
and national bank notes should he
kept equal to gold and circulating TO-
gether.
With all Difference to Mr.. Shcr-
mars published reason for changing
his orders, we think that a po-
tent one exists. The custom receipts
are S12S,S 1928, 764 in coin annually.
By commencing at nee to exchange
silver for paper to pay duties, one
quarter of these receipts or S52,Zo',-
1911 in coin would be lost to the treas
urv, a diminution of coin resources
viii n Mr. Sherman in view Of accrue
inc bond interest, and Of thc near mp
proach OF resumption could very lily
afford to encounter.
There has been some suspicion Una
Mr., Sherman's silver circular was {
concession to Greenbackers. Mr.
Hale, chairman of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee
however, has announced that the lie
publicans have not intended to &C
out of their way to make overtures to
the greenback party. They would
not even council the support of {
Greenbacker where they could beat
democratic nominee. l know, says
Mr.. Hale, there has been some tall
recently about a change Of base b
the Republican party in financial
issues, but there is nothing in it.
An honest financial policy is the one
upon which we must make the fight
The gold standard which we upholC
in Maine must not be lowered any
where.
Just upon the heels of all this.
comes the intelligence that a largl
force is engaged filling up checks OF
banks for the quarters interest, due
October first on the new fur pC1
cents. registered as owned in tho
United States. Nothing has beer
said of not paying gold to foreigners
but Mr.. Sherman evidently considers
greenbacks good enough for his fell
low citizens, even after he has gone
back On the redemption of them.
Vive la humbug! Greenbacks are
nearly par with gold and people don't
want silver.
