Let Your Neighbors Alone.

No people are such thorough nuisances
as those who are always on the alert for
anything suspicious-always ready to
believe the worst Of everybody. What
is it to you If your neighbor does bring
home brown paper package and COW
cred basket? You will live Just as long
if you never know what they contain, 1t
is none of your business. And il your
flighty neighbor, Mrs. Lightfoot, INDUCES
herself in new bonnet, while her de-
voted husband wears patched boots, you
need not fret about it-he is the only
sufferer, not you. No need OF making a
hue and a cry over her supposed extrav.
agance. The money did not come out OF
your pocket, and consequently it Is none
of your business. What II the minister
does call on Ann Smith twice week
Why exercise your brain about it Sup
pose she has an awful temper-and pow
ders her face, as she says she does--her
temper will not trouble you. Mind your
own concerns. What difference does il
make to you if bold Maria "cuts OUT
modest Mary?
"You need not torture Mary by long
stories of what you have heard concern
ing the natter 81 thought would
tell you, my dear. lspeak for your good,
Somebody should put you on your guard
against that treacherous girl" As a
natural consequence, modest Mary, her
womanly pride aroused, shrinks into the
background. leaving the field open to
her victorious rival. So you crush a
good girls heart because you will not
mind your own business. What if they
have three dozen pairs of stockings at
Squire Hills. Haven't they got right
to-? AS long as you do not do the wash.
ing it need not trouble you at all. What
right have you to watch their clothes
line? Employ your time better, 1t
may be perfectly true that dashing Mrs,
Gray signals to young DR.. Wilde from
her back windows. But who gave you
the privilege of watching a lady in her
own house, where, il in any place, her
privacy should be sacred? Her disgrace
is nothing to you; it is none of your
business. If we had our way, meddlers
should be punished like any other Offend
ers against the rights of Others

MIR. BLAlNE's SILVER BILL.

The bill introduced in the senate by
Mr. Blaine is, in full text, as follows:
A bill to authorize the coinage OF silver
dollars for circulation, and make the
same legal tender, and for other pur-
poses:
BE it enacted, ETC., That silver bullion
may be deposited at any coinage mint or
at the assay office in the city of New
York for returns in silver dollars of -
grains of standard silver at such rate or
price per standard ounce of bullion as
may from time to time be fixed by the
director of the mint, with the approval,
IN writing, of the secretary OF the treas
urv, and which rate shall correspond as
exactly as possible with the market rate,
and the bullion thus placed shall, in
addition to the other required coinage
authorized by existing law, be coined
without delay to the full capacity of the
mints.
Sec. 2. That any gain or profit arising
from the coinage OF silver dollars shall,
after the payment of Lawful wastage, be
covered into the treasury of the United
States at the close of each fiscal year.
Sec. 3. The silver dollar herein author.
lied to be coined shall be a legal tender
as by existing law in common with gold
for all sums up to and including IS, and
for all sums exceeding So the debtor shall
have the right to tender in full payment
and the creditor the right to demand
one-half the amount in gold coin and
one half in silver dollars.
Sec. 4. Fine or standard gold and sill
YER bars bearing the stamp of any coinage
mint, or the assay Office at New York
shall be received by the assistant treasu
rer of the United States at New York iol
their stamped value, which shall b'
their coinage rate respectively, and coir
certificates shall be issued therefor by the
assistant treasurer in the same manner a.
coin certificates are now issued for gold
coin, and the certificates SO issued shall
be redeemed by the secretary ot the
treasury on demsnd, at the office OF the
assistant treasurer at New York, in coin
or stamped bars OF bullion deposited at
his option.

WAR IN THE EAST.

Admiral Hobart Pasha's feet has ar.
rived from Batoum, bringing ten battalions.
Dervish Pasha Is expected shortly. There is
no news yet from the peace plenipotent-
aries. The government has telegraphed its
representatives at the European capitals,
asking for information. The Russians con-
tinue to advance.
The principal cause of delay of the
armistice is stated to be the difficulty about
the military conditions imposed A Vienna
paper says these include the occupation of
Constantinople.
The relief agent who arrived at CALI
poll with Suciman Pasha telegra2hs as iol>
lows 81 will stop here to relieve seven
thousand refugees in great distress. ! have
seen vast numbers of refugees all over the
country, dying from cold and hunger. There
is great movement toward the sea. Refu'
gees arrive perfectly destitute, having gen
orally lost half of each family. 1t is n ma
ton moving without means of transportation
and without home to go to. Englishmcn
cannot imagine the suffering, destitution and
ruin of the last three weeks to an innocent
and industrious people.

This table shows that the percentage
OF business failures in the southern states

denied that many failures are fraudulent,
and on the score of probability it is more
likely that where one trader in filty-eight
failed there will be more dishonesty than
where one in eightyfive fails. With
these figures before us we see that the
south and west have been grossly SIAN
dered-that taking those tables as our
guide the south and west live up to their
engagements better than any other por-
ton of the country. As Dun Barlow's
report says;
Notwithstanding the solidity and
wealth of New England, its established
sources of income from its long career Of
success, and its enormous investments
within and without its own borrowers,
its perfect monetary facilities, and other
great advantages, yet all this does not
preserve its traders from failing in num-
bers far greater than in the southern
statcs-ruined by war, retarded by mis-
rule, and only just recovering to self,
sustaining power of existence"
There Is another point deserving OF
thought. Failures are more prevalent
in Canada than anywhere else IN the
world-one trader in every thirty failed
last year. On the Pacific slope one
trader in every forty-one failed. Now
it should not be forgotten that Canada
has the single gold unit of value, anC
PAPER has never defled California, where
the bulk of the Pacific coast failures
occur. Unless there has been an abnor
NAL development of dishonesty il
Canada and California, gold must hav,
had something to do with these failures
One thing is certain, whether they ar,
to be attributed to the single STANDARD
or not, gold has not preserved its votarie
from great waves of mercantile disaster
accompanied, we may hope, with small
waves of dishonesty. Let not the eas
hereafter say, "I am honester thai
.hou," or pretend that gold will ward OF
the evils OF insolvency.

currency of country is properly meas
ured, not merely by Indicating the
volume in circulation, but by naming
the volume compared with the popula.
ton for whose business ii il the machin-
cry. The volume of currency country
should have must be determined by still
another circumstance-the sparseness or
the compactness of the population. The
city with its various credit devices, bills
of exchange, notes, checks, drafts, clear
ing-houses, needs comparatively little
money per capita, while the millions l.
people scattered thinly over an undeveof
oped continent need much larger sum
per capita. In t.is country, after the
close of the war, an element of enormous
contraction was suddenly introduced in
our financial system by the addition to
the union of the dollarless states that
had attempted to secede. The same quan'
tity of currency was spread over vast
territory and among millions of money
less people where 1t had not been used.
The annual increase of population, the
currency remaining the same, is of itself
an elem mt of contraction. The results
of contraction are before the people.
They are the bankruptcies strewen over
the last twelve years, the prostration of
all industry, the suffering that accompa'
MES hard times. We present state.
ment of the amount of contraction that
has actually taken place. On the goth
of June, 1864, the amount of paper
money issues outstanding, consisting of
greenbacks, postal currency, treasury
notes, certificates of Indebtedness, ma
tional bank notes, state bank notes,
seyen-thirty notes, temporary de.
posits for which certificates were
issued, was Sl,125,S77, ,03i53. In that
year there were but 520 failures in the
country, and the aggregate liabilities
were but SS,5700Oo. Wegive below the
story of contraction for the last thirteen
years

A Snake Attacks Il Man Ina Buggy.

A Snake Attacks Man In Buggy.
Mr.. Walters and his wife were return
ing to the city, says the Dallas (Ga.)
Commercial, in twOhOrsc buggy from
a trip into the country. About seven
miles from town, on the Mansfield road,
they passed Il snake that was lying on
the side of the road, the great size OF
which attracted their attention. Alter
passing the reptile, Mrs. Walters con-
cluded he would turn back and kill it.
He turned the team around, drove back
to point opposite the snake, drew his
pistol and fired at it, but without effect.
The horses, not being used to the report
of firearms, became restless and hard to
control, which caused the attention OF
Mr.. Walters 20 be diverted from the
snake, which ran rapidly to the buggy,
up the wheel and on the dashboard, be-
fore the occupants were aware of it. The
snake. when within foot of the occu-
pants of the carriage, coiled the lower
part of its body, threw its neck into
graceful curve, drew back its head, and
was lust in the act of launching its
deadly fangs into Mr.. Walters, when he
fred the second shot. This, though
missing, had the effect to cause the snake
to lower itself Oh the tongue of the car
riare. Mr.. Walters then fired two more
Shots, one of which took effect, and
caused the reptile to fall from the car
risge to the ground, and Walters dis
patched it with a stone. The reptile was
measured, and found to be over six feet
LONG. and was thicker than mans wrist.
