THE REpUMPaIUN PROCESS.

In our financial history the 18th OF
December, 1873, will stand as a memora-
BILE day. Though not actually the
resumption day, it was virtually such.
On that day the long-standing premium
for gold vanished. Our greenback cur
rency, so long deprecated below the
specie standard, had been for years grad
ually appreciating, and on that day
reached its par value with gold, and this
for the first time in seventeen years. On
that day the business transactions of the
country were predicated on currency
as good as gold We stood upon coin
basis The actual resumption as fixed
by law is to occur in but ten days
hence.
The process by which resumption is to
be put into practical operation has been
prescribed by the Treasury Department
in circular order heretofore published.
BY that process payments will be made
in coin for the greenback currency only
on presentations of amounts not less than
$50, or any multiple thereof; and at the
New York Sub bTreasury is the only place
where redemption on the presentation of
such amounts can be demanded. These
arrangements are in fact prescribed in
the Resumption Law itself, passedin 1875;
and the Treasury order alluded to is but
process in conformity with the provis-
ions of that law.
By that process the holder of 800 in
greenbacks, living in Ohio or Oregon, can
not get the coin for his currency without
sending it to New York and presenting it
at the Sub-Treasury there. And if he
have $95 in currency he can get only $50
of it in coin, because the remaining $45
is not any multiple of fifty.
Moreover, the coin payment of the in
terest coupons on United States bonds
can be had only on presentation thereof
at the Sub-Treasury in New York, pre-.
cisely as in the case of currency redemp.
tion; excepting, however, that the
amount of the coupons is not restricted
to the sum of $50, or any multiple there
Of Hence the holder of 81 900 bond
say in Ohio or Oregon, can get his $40
coupon of semi-annual interest paid il
coin only by sending it to New York ant
demanding payment there, and paying
the expenses of transmission.
This would seem to be cumbrous anC
troublesome process for resumption. AnC
it is 50. But it is not easy to see how i
could be arranged otherwise. As a banl
never redeems its issues only on presenta
tion at it's own counter, SO the Govern
ment can redeem it's issues only at tn
counter of its principal Sub-Treasury. |
would be extremely inconvenient, pei
haps impracticable, and possibly hazarc
GUS, for the Government to do otherwise
more especially at the outset of resumE
ton. Because, the Government coul
not reasonably be required nor expecte
to keep an indefinite amount of coin q
an indefinite number of places to NEE
possible and unknown demands of bon
and bill holders at large. She cons
auently can do no more than to establis
her office of redemption at the CONNIE

Two noted grave robbers.

Our readers will remember the ac-
count given in these columns of the rob-
bling of the Hon. Scott Harrison. in
Ohio, last May, the body being found in
the dissecting room of the Ohio Medical
College. Public indignation justly
brands any man as scoundrel who
will rob the grave of the dead. But
there are two noted grave robbers in the
country. so far from being the subjects
of the peoples wrath, are universally
lauded for their virtues. The reason is
plain. While the former class steal
the dead bodies of our loved ones to sub
nit them to the dissecting knife, these
only rob the graves to restore the living
victims to our hearts and homes. Their
names-Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets-are household words the world
over. The Golden Medical Discovery
cures consumption, in its early stages,
and all bronchial, throat, and lung affec-
tions; Pleasant Purgative Pellets are
the most valuable laxative and cathar-
tic.

SMOKING IN THE BARN.-"No Smok-
ing" ought to be posted in every barn.
There is not much difference in having
a horse thief around the stable and a
man cleaning off horses with a pipe or
cigar in his mouth and there is no
hired man much meaner than the one,
who, when his employer comes around
slips his pipe in his pocket or puts his
hand over it. All such fellows should
be paid off and started off. AS for the
proprietor himself going into his barn
with his pipe in his mouth, no complaint
can be made, nobody should cry unless
it be his wife or children. Lightning,
incendiaries and spontaneous combus.
ton combined do not cause as many
barns to be burned as the pipe, and gen
orally, at least one good horse goes too.

INSECTS ON HOUSE PLANTS.

The principal insects troubling house.
plants are the green fly. the mealy bug,
the scale, and the red spider. The most
effcctual remedy for the green fly is flu

plants-such as heliotropes, salvias, etc.
will not bear fumigation without In

solution of tobacco is quite as effectu-
al--Steep some tobacco in water and
sprinkle the. plant with the solution, and
afterward syringe with clean water.
Mealy bug is to be searched for and de-
stroyed.-Frequent spongings do much
to keep down this pest. Scale is to be
treated in the same way. Warm soap
suds are peculiarly distasteful to this
creature. A little turpentine diluted
with water Zone part to sixteon) will
destroy the mealy bug. Alcohol, ap-

ENGLISH WAY OF PRESERVING FRUl

ENGLISH WAY OF PRESERVING FRUIT.
"A new method of preserving fruit is
practised in England. Pears, apples
and other fruits are reduced to paste,
which is then pressed into cakes and
gently dried. When required for use
it is only necessary to pour four times
their weight of boiling water over them
allow them to soak twenty minutes, and
then add sugar to suit the taste. The
fine flavor of the fruits is SAID to be re.
tanned to perfection. The cost of the
prepared product is hardly greater than
that of the original fruit. differing in

A HINT TO FARMERs.-The Chautua-
qua Farmers says: dissolve common
salt in water, sprinkle the same over
your manure heap. and the volatile
parts of the ammonia will become fixed
salts, from their having united with the
muriatic acid of the common salt, and
the soda thus liberated from the salt
will quickly absorb carbolic acid, form
ing carbonate of soda; thus you will
retain with manure the ammonia that
would otherwise fly away, and you have
new and important agent introduced,
viz. the carbonate of soda, which is a
powerful solvent of all vegetable FIBRE"

To prevent meat from scorching dur
ing roasting, place basin of water in
the oven; the steam generated prevents
scorching, and makes the meat cook
better. Beef that has a tendency to be
tough can be made very palatable by
stewing very gently for two hours with
pepper and salt, taking out about pint
of the liquor when half done. and let.
ting the rest boil into the meat. Brown
the meat in a pot. After taken up
make a gravy of the pint of liquor
