Demagogues may say ''give us plenty of
greenbacks and all is we'll" The poor and
rich alike, if they are imbued with the
ideas of true Democracy, know that the
greenback is worthless only as it may be
the peer of gold and silver and may be re,
deemable in gold or silver at the option of
the holder. What the true Democrat most
needs is that there shall be no currency
tinkering. The country at large is in fair
way to make short work with hard times.
One or two more good crops even atlow prices,
will be worth all acts of Congress that ever
were passed. The fact is, the day of spec
ulation is over, and the day of work has
come. All the people want is to keep the
ball rolling as farmers, as mechanics, as
manufacturers. Elect honest minded
men to Congress and all other public sta
tions; men who will let well enough alone;
men who cannot be blinded by demagogues,
and all is well.-Hunterdon Democrat

A correspondent of the Miners Journal,
writing from Summit Hill, the terminus of
the Switchback Railroad, says: Summit
Hill boasts of having one of the wonders of
the age, viz: an ice cavern 300 feet below
the surface of the ground. In this cave ice
forms Winter and Summer, and forms more
ice in Summer than Winter At the bottom
Of the cave is beautiful spring of clear
ice-cold water, entirely surrounded by ice
The ceiling and sides of the cave exhibit
what look like large veins of coal, but upon
examination these are found to be solid ice
In the centre of the cave, formed by the
continual dropping of water is an icy mon
ument that reaches from floor to roof

Royalty is an expensive luxury in Eng
land, and the worst Of it is that it becomes
more and more expensive as each of the
Queens numerous children are settled in
life. At the next session of Parliament, the
Government will demand marriage allow
ance of $4,000 year for the Duke of Con-
naught, who was recently betrothed to a
Prussian princess. This was the sum voted
in 1874 for the Duke of Edinburgh, and will
be in addition to the SIS, 900 year which
the Duke of Connaught already draws from
the State. The allowance to the Prince of
Wales voted in 1858, on his marriage. was
$780, 900 year; in addition to which the
Princess of Wales has $4,000 a year. The
Princess Royal draws $4,000 a year; the
Duke of Edinburgh, $125, 900 year; the
Princess Alice $50, 900 year; and the Prin-
cess Helena and Princess Louise the same.
The total amount paid by the nation to the
Queens children is $655, 900 a year. Since
their Royal Highnesses happily came of age
the nation has contributed over S., 500. 900
for their maintenance, and yet the Queen is
immensely rich, and we'll able to take care
of all of them without any help from the
people.

Ex-Secretry of the Treasury Boutwell,
delivered an address on Wednesday last be-
fore the Worchester (Mass.) Institute in
which he spoke of the advance being made
in industry: Hard times, said Boutwell,,
always bring complaints of the tyranny of
capitol and machinery, and the only remedy
which occurs to the unthinking is to limit
the productiveness of labor in order to raise
its price. But, Mr.. Boutwell, contended,
reason and experience alike make it plain
that this only aggravates the disorder, and
that the true cure is to be found in the very
contrary process. General prosperity al
ways increases in direct ratio with the pro-
ductiveness of industory. All labor-saving
inventions have resulted, after very brief
period of disturbance and adjustment, i'll
a greater demand for labor, higher wages,
cheaper living marked improvement in
the condition of the laboring classes, and
more general diffusion Of wealth. There is
a constant rivalry in trade and manufac-
lures between the various countries of the
world. Our prosperity, the good fortune
of all the industrial classes in America,
must be measured by our success in this
International competition.

the discussion of the funeral question.
They have been much annoyed by extrava-

that great economy be exercised in the dis.

The people on the beach at Ocean Grove
have introduced the fashion of sand baths,
now so popular along the coast. The man.

is dug in the damp sand near the ocean, and
the suns rays are allowed to pour into it
until the sand becomes almost hot. The
bather then reclines in the trench and an
attendant covers him with sand until he
looks like terrapin. The bathers say that
three such baths will cure rheumatism.
