MORE CONTRACTION NECESSARY.

The house committee on banking
called before it, John A. Stewart, of
the United States trust company, and
J. d. Vermilye, Of the Merchants
bank of New York. The question of
the practicability of maintaining re-
sumption, was pressed by Mr.. Ewing,
to which these bankers replied that
unless portion of the currency Cir
culation is retired, and foreign ex-
changes continued to be in our favor,
specie payment could not be main
tanned; that to make specie resump-
ton safe $l00,000,000 or $l50,000. 900,
of outstanding paper currency should
be permanently retired.
Can any man imagine the result
upon the business of the county, of
taking out Of circulation at this time,
One-third of our present quantity of
money!
The most terrible panic and tinan-
cial disaster that ever overlook the
country, was produced by the with
drawal of less percentage of the cur
rency than this. Why will congress
listen a moment to the badgering of
these vampires, when every man
knows that relief to the staggering
business Of the country can come only
by an increase rather than diminu-
ton of the volume of the currency?
Congress has power to furnish this
relief at once. Why not do it before
the people become exasperated.

NJ. Maiche in Les Mondes propounds
the theory reached after numerous ex-
periments that water is simply hydro
gen ptus electricity, or oxygen minus
electricity; or, in other words, that
normal electrified hydrogen consti-
tutes water. and that normal diselec-
trified oxygen produces the same; or
that hydrogen, oxygen, and water
are precisely the same, differing only
in degree of identification.

Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1878-03-27

The correspondent Of French paper
relates a remarkable contest which he
witnessed In the Is,e of Java between a
parrot and a gigantic spider. The spi
der, whose body was as large as small
birds dropped down upon young par
rot whose mamma was from home, and,
spreading its huge claws over the nest,
began sucking its blood. When the
mother returned she naturally "went
for" the enemy, and seized hold of one
of its legs, but whether it be that legs
are not sensitive portion of spiders
organizations, or that this particular in
sect had an overpowering penchant for
the blood of young parrots, he wouldn t
let go, until his pain becoming too in
tense for endurance, he turned on the
mother, and twining all his legs firmly
around her neck, was just arranging
for a good long suck in that quarter,
when she gave him an awful dig in the
belly with her beak, whereupon he fell
over, dragging her to the ground with
him. The naturalist then shot him and
released the parrot.
