The doctor is evidently Il man Of good
sense, and he supplements this with a
courteous. practical manner. He is
exceedingly cautious in talking of the
new party, carefully weighing every
word he ultcrs about it, aud quite EN-
phalically checking an untoward Gus
riosity that would draw from him more
than its welfare would require. He is
impressed with the Importance of his

subject Of old and new party lines by
the utmost eircumspection. 1t was,
therefore, with some reluctance that he
consented, when requested. to enter
into n discussion of the political situa
ton situation for publication. Never
theiess, he was willing to accommodate

An exchange has exhumed the Law
OF 1884. which gave the Spanish or
Mexican milIed dollar of 4l2! glains
the full legal tender quality, the same
as the American dollar. This law has
never been repealed. but 10 the Re
vised Statutes in 1874, the Mexican,
like the American dollar, was omitted
from the list of coins. Thus it was
