The Ottawa FREE TRADER has a very SEN
sble article on the finance agitation and the
candidacy of a. Campbell for Congress in
that district. 1t appears that Campbell has
now some theory which he is Withholding from
the world, keeping it back perhaps for some
sudden surprise. We have no sympathy with
the Greenback agitation. IL is the disturbing
element of our politics and in the country 1t
is time 1t was ended. This question has been
settled and, we trust, for all time Polit-
ical capital can no more be made out OF it,
1t is a dead issue and cannot be successfully
revived But just so long as the agitation con
tinuCs there will be that uncertainty which Is
so dangerous an enemy TO national prosperity.
What the theories Of these Greenback men
are we are at loss to know. As far rs we can
gather their notions, they are IN favor OF an
unlimited and irreueemable currency.
We do not believe there Is any number OF
our people who will embrace such doctrine.
Now that our currency has reached so near TO
specic in value and with certainty that in Il
few months we shall have specie payment we
cannot think that there are many people in the
country who will consent to have the bottom

Mhnt the Thumb Docs.

A writer suggests in the following
paragraphs II convincing argument for
the existence of wise and skillful, a
far-seeing and all-powerful Designer:
Have you noticed that when you
want to take hold of anything, a bit OF
bread, we will say, that it is always the
thumb who puts himself forward, and
that he is always on one side by him
self, while the rest of the fingers are on
the other?
If the thumb is not helping, nothing
stops in your hand, and you don't know
what to do with it. Try, by way of ex-
pertinent to carry your spoon to your
mouth without putting your thumb to
it, and you will see what long time it
will take you to get through poor lit
tie plateful of broth.
The thumb is placed in such a man.
ner on your hand that it can face each
of the other fingers, one after another,
or all together, as you please; and by
this we are enabled to grasp, as if with
pair of pinchers, all objects, whether
large or small.
Our hands owe this perfection of use
fulness to this happy arrangement
which has been bestowed on no Other
animal except the monkey, our nearest
neighbor.

How Shoe-BuclSles Were Done Away
With.

At one time the credit of the Prince
of Wales (afterward George IV) was so
low that the common mechanics would
not trust him. At certain time, when
the Prince was preparing for meeting
with the mobiles of the kingdom, he
went intoa bucklemaker's shop and ask
ed him to trust him for a pair of buck.
les. The man refused.
"If you do not trust me-" said the
Prince, II will ruin YOU"
But the man utterly refused him the
buckles unless he would pay for them.
The Prince went away highly offended,
and, to be revenged on the man, tied
his shoes with strings, and met the COM
pany he had agreed to meet.
As soon as the Prince entered the
house, each one took notice of his shoe
strings, and admired his new fashion.
He told them strings were much easier
to his feet than buckles, and much
cheaper, and, if all would wear them it
would save millions to the kingdom
every year. They at once adopted the
fashion, which ruined the bucklemaker,
as his business was done and his stock
on hand dead property.

WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW .

We are indebted to Messrs, Powers,
Lynde e. Wright. of Kansas City, for the fol-
lowing reliable review of the grain trade:
Whcat-During the week past there has
been slight recovery In values, with the
development of n more healthiul feeling in
both foreign and home markets. The chief
features in foreign markets are the large
supplies being delivered in Great Britain
and on the Continent. With few exceptions,
shipments from Southern Russia and the
Baltic find their way to Continental ports,
while our exports. with those of the British
| Colonies and India, are almost entirely con-
| trOlled for English account. Its estimated
that during the past nine months, fully
100 OO0,UOO bus. wheat committing flour
have been imported into Great Britain, and
1t will be remembered that the mOsteminent
English authorities placed the wheat sup

will secure the largest and best crop yet
grown in these Western States. The pre-
sent milling demand In our local market for
winter wheat is confined to the higher
grades, and the lighter receipts are readily
taken at published quotations.
COrn-The enormous receipts of the pre-

ate deliveries during the week Just closed,

pressed values to the lowest minimum aver

The largest chestnut tree in the State
of New Jersey was cut down recently al
Sicklertown, Camden county. The tree
stood on the farm Of Washington Sick.
Ter. The land on which this tree stood
was first cleared by John Sickler about
the year 1774, and the tree was left
standing for shade. 1t was a large one
at that time, more than 100 years ago
and perhaps the Indian boys and girls
gathered nuts from it as they roamed
through the forests. The tree made
800 fence posts, besides stakes, blocks
etc. 1t measured 81 feet 8 inches
