To LET General Shields down easy the
Democrats in the House were magnanimous
enough to offer to put him on the retired list.
They were doubtless the more ready to offer
this indulgence to the veteran Union soldier
from the fact that under existing laws it was
a sheer impossibility for him to receive it.
Only soldiers of the regular army are retired,
and as General Shields never had the advant-
age of fighting for his country in any other
way than as a volunteer the Senate will not,
of course, allow so gross violation of law
and precedent as would follow from its pass

In Brussels, Belgium, the milk carts
are drawn by women.

"Radix," in one of his recent New York let
ters, makes good point apropos of life insur-
ance investigations and troubles generally, by
calling attention to the fallacy of judging of
the reliability Of companies according to their
bulk. Many such institutions seek to dazzle
the public eye by printing their large gross as
sets in the heaviest type, and by laying great
stress upon the nominal millions under their
control to win confidence and prevent any close
analysis of the whole statement. He points
out the plain, but often forgotten fact, that
even coiceding the equally good quality of the
assets of two companies, it is not necessarily
the one with the most millions which is safest
for the. policy holder, but the one whose net
surplus bears the largest ratio to its whole pro-
perty: Judged from this sound and searching
principle, "Radix finds the Elna Life Insur-
ance Company of Hartford, to be one Of the
strongest II not the very strongest, institutions
of the kind in the country. With little over
twenty-four millions of assets, it has about four
and a quarter millions of clear surplus. The
special commission appointed by the Legisla-
ture of Connecticut year ago to investigate all
the life insurance companies Of that State, say
OF the Etns that it is mot only solvent, but
financially sound. and under the management
Of officers and directors OF large experience,
sound judgement, and unblemished character,
and entitled to the entire confidence Of policy
holders, and the public" Taking the above
facts and this official Endorsement together, it
is evident that the writer's estimate Of the

Do you think he'll let me experiment in

replied that Milliken himself was some
what of an inventor, and he thought
that he would not only let Tom expert
ment as much as he pleased, but that he
would also take a personal interest in
his experiments. The very frat trial
was the duplex dispatches that gave
Tom the reputation of lunatic in Mem
phis. and caused him to lose his situa-
tion. Milliken, unlike Coleman, en-
tered into the spirit of the thing, and in
q short time Tom had SO far perfected it
that he worked it quite successfully be-
tween New York and Boston. But to
accomplish this he spent every dollar he
earned for material for his experiments,
and whenxthe grand secret was dis
covered hadn't money enough to pay

Spiders Travelling Around the World.

At recent meeting of the Philadel-
phia Academy of Sciences, the Rev. DR..
McCook contributed an interesting
essay on spiders. One species, Sarote8
uenatorius, is distributed with little
variation in form or color, all aronnd the
world. From cabinet specimens, he
could trace it, going Westward, from
the extreme Eastern limit of this con-
tinent to the extreme Western coast of
Africa. He has found the line of dis
tribution to coincide with the belt Of
Northern trade winds. He thinks the
spider migrated from point to point by
throwing out fine threads and suspend
ing themselves so as to be carried by the
wind. So far as he has been able to
prosecute the inquiry, there is a CORE
spending line of distribution for these
spiders in countries swept by the South
ern trade winds. The theory needs
further facts as to the presence or ab'
scence of these insects on islands in the
ocean, before it can be fully accepted ;
if verified it may help to determine the
open questions as to missing continents,
since it cannot be supposed that spiders
could cross spaces of water.

Discovery OF a Lost Art.

A method Of reproducing the famous,
because rare, fire gilded glass Of the
Egyptians has been recently patented,
and from the results attained, it would
appear that the inventor, if he has not
discovered the ancient process, has de-
vised an excellent substitute. Fire
gilded glass is glass into which gold is so
worked that many hundreds of years
have failed to effect any change, or to
tarnish the gold. The trustees of the
British Museum, were so pleased with
the results of the modern process, that
they accepted from the inventor, M.
D'Hussey, specimens of his recovery of
a lost art. The process consists in in
Producing gold-leaf or platinum into the
body of the glass. and amagamating the
precious metal with the glass by means
OF blow-pipe, an operation which also
serves to produce perfectly indestruc-
tible covering to the metal and the de-
signs traced. The product so much re-
sembles the ancient work that the
method is likely to find a tolerably
wide field of usefulness-or, at least, of
profit to its inventor.

The New Silver Dollar.

In accordance with the provisions of
the silver bill recently passed by
Congress, new silver dollar is in pro-
cess of coinage. The above cuts are a
faithful representation of the new coin.
Two designs were submitted to the COM
mittee having the matter of selection in
charge, and they chose tile above.
known as the Morgan dollar " because
it is the work of Mr.. George E. Morgan,
an English engraver, who has been in the
employ of the United States for about
two years. The new dollar is lighter in
weight than the trade dollar, by two per
cent, but there is no apparent differ
ence in the two coins in either size or
weight. The coinage of the new dollar
will begin at once at the various mints,
but some time must elapse before it can
get into general circulation. The size
of the new coin is accurately given by
our cuts.

Renovation, not PrOstration.

Did any enfeebled human being ever become
tics or salivants? It is sometimes necessary to
regulate the bowels, but that cannot be done
by active purgation, which exhausts the vital
forces and serves no good purpose whatever.
The only true way to promote health and vigor
which are essential to regularity of the organic
functions, is to invigorate discipline and purify
the system at the same time. The extraor-
dinary efficacy of HoHetter's Stomach Bitters
in cases Of debility or irregularity of the organs
Of digestion, assimilation, secretion and dis
charge, is universally admitted. Appetite,
good digestion. regular habit Of body, active
circulation Of the bood, and purity OF all the
animal fluids are induced by this superb tonic
and corrective. II has no equals, moreover, as
preventive of chills and fever, and other types
of malarial disease. To immigrants and travel
ers it is particularly serviceable as medicinal
safepuard

ACamnaisn sinnder.

When DR.. r. '. Pierce was a candidate for
State senator, his political opponents published
a pretended analysis of his popular medicines,
hoping thereby to prejudice the people against
him. His election by an overwhelming majori-
ty severely rebuked his Ltraducers who sought
to impeach his business integrity. No notice
would have been taken of these campaign lies
were it not that some Of his enemies (and every
successful business man has his full quota Of
envious rivals) are republishing these bogus
analyses. Numerous and most absurd formulas
have been published, purporting to come from
high authority. and Il is q significant fact that
no two have been at all alike-conclusively
proving the dishonesty Of their authors.

The silver UilI Contraction.

" Behold my e...," s..id Chancellor OVEN
STERN, "wit'i what little wisdom the world
Is governed
The Silver bill has been passed for the
purpose Of cnarging the money circulation,
which was held to have been restricted by
dcmonetizing silver.
But the bill. although enacted i'm the sup
posed interests Of initiation tends ncvl-
tably, sooner or later, to drive gold out Of
the country, and go diminish. instead of in
crcasing, the volume Of the precious metals
ailOat.
Unless silver is kept on an equality with
gold. the two metals will not circulate side
by side As the bill discriminates in favor
of silver by making a cheap dollar. it will re-
suit in driving away gold and thus operate
a. a forced contraction of the currency.
1t was easy to rcmonctizc silver 50 a. to
have produced an opposite result. and re-
tanned our gold at home. All that had to he
done was To 20 sobcrly to work and re-
monctize silver ON the basis of its present
value, leaving the question of the precise
number of grains of silver in the dollar TO
the coinage department. with no other in
structions than to cqualizc the value of the
gold and silver dollar rs their relative value
should bc found to stand after the act of re-
moncti1ation.
All this would have been simple AMI reasons
able, and would not have operated t. the
disadvantage of any interest. but to the adj
vantage OF all. As IL il. we have simply
thrown away our gold and taken to silver
as substitute. instead of taking II as an
accessory. a we should have done: and as
we have immensely more gold than we have
silver. we have made prcposterously bad
bargain.
As it seems nearly impossible to do any
thing in n popular body without creating
violent oppostions and animosities We have
managed 10 create by this notable lcgisla-
tion a silver party and gold party Yet it
is easy to be seen that we ought to have
neither. The country has common inter
est in both metals. and ought TO be allowed
to use both in the coinage, and use them In
such a way a. to make them aid and sustain
each other. and SO that neither should
antagoniZc the other.
Tho question Of the two metals will never
b. permanently settled on any other basis
and We trust Congress will soon recover it,
senses and give US "a bill based ON the essen
tia merits Of the ease and In accord with
common spusa
