The Value of a Gold Dollar.

1t is hard to convince q man not used
to think on finance that wages are really
paid, not in dollars, but in what the dol
lars will buy. Once get this idea clearly
in the mind and a vast amount of non
sense respecting the currency will be
swept away in a moment The point is
we'll illustrated in the report of a CONVEX
sation given by correspondent of the
Evening Post, as related to him by gen
tleman who employs large number of
men at days work. The conversation
occurred between the gentleman and
Pat" one of his men, whom he paid a
dollar day for wheeling sand out of an
excavation:
Pat--"I can't work any longer for a
dollar a day l can't live on it." He
seemed" said his employer, "to be rea-
sonable man, and began to reason with
him l was really glad at the prospect
Of losing him, however, because l was
hiring more men than l needed. Yet I
disliked to discharge any one in these
times.
Employer-"I wish l could give you
more Pat, but l can't l get only ten
cents pound for my butter, and only
nine dollars ton for hay delivered"
Pat-"But you used to give me two
dollars day. Now l have only one dol
lar. l can't live"
Employer-"Are you sure that you
were better off when you got two dollars
day? That was, say, ten years ago.
Pat-"Of course | was | had double
the money.
Employ hat does your board cost
you week now ?"
Pat-"Two dollars and eighty cents. -
Employer-"How much was it ten years
ago ?"
Pat (after thinking minute)-"Six
dollars a week.
The two were walking along the street,
and they entered one of the village shops.
There a young workman, who was going
off on an excursion, was buying what he
called "nobby" suit of clothes. The
salesman charged him two dollars and
fifty cents.
Employer Ito the salesman)-"W hat
did you sell suit like that for ten years
ago?'
! Salesman-"Them clothes fetched ten
dollars ten years ago"
Employer Ito Pat)-"Now, Pat, you see
! that board costs less than one-half what
it did formerly, and clothes exactly one
fourth. And l suppose that house-rent
is at least one half less-isn't itY" Pal
| admitted that it was. $50 if you get only
a dollar a day now" continued his EN-
ployer, you really can save more money
than when you got two dollars day

Bad as the Fever.

If we have not yellow fever, the chol-
era, or the plague in this city, we have
among US that which makes more misery,
destroys more lives, and imposes a heav-
ier tax on property, than year of pesti-
lence.
When David was offered the choice of
his people being smitten with the pesti-
lence or by the sword, he chose the pes,
thence as being more directly the Instru-
ment of Gods displeasure, and he said,
"Let me fall into the hands of God, and
not of man" The trouble with us is we
are in the hands of men, and dreadfully
bad men at that. There are good laws
made to prevent the sale of Intoxicating g
liquors, because their use is the most pro-
life source of our crimes, diseases and
deaths, and especially Of our enormous
taxes. But the men set to execute these
laws, have in the first place given about
six thousand persons full permission to
sell, number far in advance of the wants
OF the people; and then, in addition to
this vast licensed army, our authorities
suffer about five thousand men to sell
without license, so that, with or without
the permit, and in all cases with the
knowledge of the officers of the law, we
have in this city standing army of
more than ten thousand men dealing
out the destructive element for the ruin
Of our people. These are the men who
are doing more injury than the yellow
fever would do if it were now to burst
upon US. Since the 1st of May the num-
Der of hotels in this city has increased
by 1600 and more! They are mostly
mere grog shops, but the Excise Board,
under their oath, declared these hotels
necessary, and gave them the legal sane
tion OF the State. How much longer will
an oppressed and overtaxed community
submit to such official outrages ?-1 ew

Prosecuting the Chinese,

A procession of Chinese pure-air vio-
lators, vending its sullen way through
the streets to the city prison, at early
hours in the morning guarded by squad
of regular policemen, is, with one excep-
ton, the sorriest official spectacle that
can be presented to the imagination in
connection with the Chinese question.
The ordinance makes a misdemeanor of
the act of sleeping in a room containing
less than 500 cubic feet of air to each per-
son. No effort has ever been made to
enforce it against any but Chinese.
Last Friday large number of them
were arrested and confined in the city
prison. They were squeezed into three
cells Of the following dimensions, ascer-
tanned by careful measurement: One was
IA feet long. 9 feet inches wide, and 7
feet high; the other two were each 16 feet
long, feet 6 inches wide, and feet
high.
The total cubic capacity of these cells
was 2, l79 feet, or trihe over % feet of
'air" (God save the mark y to each man.
At IL o'clock Monday morning 81 Chi
nese were found packed in those pens,
on q charge of not occupying a space
equal to As, 800 cubic feet!-[ Alta Cali

Uprising of the North.

We remember the days when the up
rising of the North" had another mean
ing than it has now. Then it was the
expression of universal rushing to arms,
Of the prompt and willing sacrifice of
money and life in war. Now it means
the same unanimous, hearty, self sacri-
fcing spirit to give aid and comfort not
to those in arms against us, but to our
brethren and friends who are suffering
under calamity worse than war.
Such an uprising is something to thank
God for. We will not be glad that an
occasion has come SO soon for this exhi
bition of sympathy; the cause is too sad
.ly dis tressing for any other feelings but
those of pity and sorrow. But we do re-
joice that the response to this Providen
tial call has been SO swift, so generous. so
general and so spontaneous. The long
lists of churches sending their contribu
tions to the Committees in New York are
eloquent. Some of the sums are very
small, and we read them with even m ore
emotion than the large gifts, for they tell
the story over again of her who gave from
her penury and not of abundance. In
this paper we acknowledge donations
from some churches on Long Island that
are expressive of intense benevolence.-
The city of Chicago has sent $50, 900, and
by this time more. Surely that is a great
sum for a city to raise that has been so
recently tried in the fire itself Other
and all the cities have done as well, ac.
cording to their ability. There is no diff
ference of section, Or party, or interest.
The question of expediency or duty has
not been raised. 1t has been the simple
outpouring of the heart, compassion for
the afflicted, sympathy with those in
trouble, and desire to do for others as
they would be done by. In this view of
the case, it is in the highest degree cred
liable to the people of the North.
Nor is the work yet done. Perhaps
many have given all they are in duty
bound to give. These obligations haYe
their limits, and it is only required of a
man according to what he hath But if
there be any churches that have not con-
tributed, or individuals waiting to know
if their aid is needed, to them we say
without hesitancy that the wants of the
suffering regions are not by any means
supplied. The sacrifice of business and
the failure to produce anything may be
followed by a long term of famine, or, at
least, of positive want. 1t will require
all that can be given, and then there will
be multitudes suffering from lack Of help.
II is we'll that so few offered to 90 as
nurses of the sick. They were soon tax
en- down with the sickness, as might have
been expected, and thus became burden
instead of assistance. Their death sane
titles their heroic sacrifice, but their ex-
ample is not to be initiated. There are
those who live in the midst Of the disease
and are acclimated. They may be en-
ployed to wait upon the sick, and it is
better to furnish the means to pay for
suoh nurses rather than TO go, or to send
men or women there.

templated expense, 81 600, to the fever
sufferers"
To put ones hand in ones own pocket
and give is the best way of giving-for
man or church-with which we are fa-
miliar. To give so that one feels ito
dispense with some cherished pleasure
for the sake of giving-is a refinement on
this best way of giving which is as rare
as it is commendable. We congratulate
the Good Templars of Philadelphia on
having set the people of the United
States an example which is so richly
worthy of imitation. And-we must
modify what we said above-is it not rea-
sonable to believe, if one believes in the
overruling Providence of a God who de-
lights to sec his own attributes reflected
in his creatures, that these Philadelphia
dollars will go quite as far in the relief of
suffering as dollars contributed as the
result Of an appeal to more ignoble mo-
tives?

The Chinese Government has tried ev-
cry means to put stop to the habit of
opium smoking which destroys millions
of Cinnamon every year. The brave En-
peror Taw- -Kwang made war against the
British thirty-seven years ago, to prevent
them from importing opium into China,
but the British Christians defeated the
Chinese heather, and retained the prof
its which accrued from others ruin
Millions upon millions of Cinnamon have
since that time been reduced to misery
and death by the opium forced into their
country, Tor mercenary purposes, by
Queen Victoria's Government; but yet
the heather Chinese have never relaxed
their efforts TO suppress its use. A des-
patch from China by way of San Francisco
now gives us the news that the Viceroy
at Marking has ordered the confscation
Of every house rented for the purpose of
opium smoking. The British Govern.
ment cannot interfere with this policy,
which may therefore meet with success.

The Way Unworthy of the End.

There is such thing .as doing a good
thing in bad way-Or in way that is,
at best, questionable; and this fact has
been forced upon our attention by
some of the methods adopted for raising
money for the fever sufferers at the South
To devote the gross receipts of all the
saloons in ST. Louis for certain day, to
the plague-stricken South, was certainly
a very dubious exercise of charity; and
something similar may be said OF the pro
jects for raising money for this praise
worthy object by means of theatrical per
formances and baseball matches. The
money derived from such sources will, we
suppose, do as much good as the money
given from purer charity; but it doesn't
seem in the very best taste to appeal to a
man s love of fun, or something worse, in
mitigation of the distresses of his suffer
ing fellow creatures. The following asso-
ciated press despatch illustrates a much
nobler way to do what everybody desires
to do than some of the ways indicated
above:

Love and Summer.

When the south wind huns and signs,
And ocean smiles, and wild birds sing
In woodland ways meath clOudless skies,
And care and gloom take hasty wing,
think of you, and eV'ry thought
With love and joy and hope is traught.
When ocean means and north winds shrek
And Winter lowers and birds are fed,
And woodland ways and skies are bleak,
And hope and Joy and song are dead,
L think of you, and thinking, sigh,
Lest love with these and Summer die.
But in your eyes a brightness lives,
And in your voice song is heard,
And each to Winter something gives
OF Summer sun and Summer bird;
And so in thinking still of you
My sun is bright, my skies are blue.
'Tis only when that brightness fades,
And when that song has died away,
know the gloom of Winters shades
And miss the Summers joyous lay,
All, lady, from me for while
Keep Winter with your song and smile?
