PRACTICAL RESUMPTION.

L, is pulling question with
thoughtful persons in the United States,
how the government with less than
800. 600, 900 of gold can redeem moro
than 5000 900. 900 Of greenbacks on the
first day Of January next. The right
wing OF the soft money element would
like 10 have the present volume Of
green backs remain forever intact, ex-
cept as naturally terminated by wear
and tear, fire and other accidental
causes The left wing of that party or
the red Of the reds, rather favors a con-
tinuous issue Of them. al ndHsean. re-
gardless of any possible effects of such
lunscy.
A favorite argument of the resnmp-
ton repealers is. that if we are up too
high and need to get down from the
fourth story to the bottom floor. why
not 90 leisurely down the stairs. or to
take the elevator. rather than dash
madly out Of tho fourth story window
ut plunge. To this there may be an.
swer, that il the building be shaky or
tottsring, it might DO policy to jump
down. run down, tumble down or any
way to get down. so as to reach safe
footing.
There is really no need of cashing
the grecnbacks all at once. So they
are kept. As they are now, practically
at par. they are just Us good money as
any in the world. They might easily

every dollar Of them, in course Of time
by Offering an interest (say o or per

would be out of circulation. leaving the
country to depend OH gold and silver
for its medium of exchange Really,
at the present time, the subject presents
little difficulty. IL it should be desi-
rable TO get rid of them, the govern.
ment could easily provide a ready way,
and their gold and silver would quickly
aud freely flow into the circulation to
fill the vacuum caused by the with
drawal of the notes.
As long as the United States Govern.

financial record and policy of the past
twelve years are substantially upheld,

tion problem will steadily dwindle
away to nothing. Great Britain

on the credit of the government. The
United States might safely authorize
ten times that amount on the same

IS WIDOW and her Child. !"

A singular instance of superstition
came to light not long since, which is
thus related: Going into a neighpor's
house, one day last week, found one
of the children suffering from severe
cough, and expressed my opinion that
it was case in which medical assis
lance should be obtained. The moth
er of the boy agreed that it was very
bad, but before calling in a doctor
she intended to try q cure that she had
long used in similar cases, and never
found to fail. On being pressed to
communicate the prescription, she
grayely informed me that the charm
consisted in Hale's Honey of Hore-
hound and Tar, and that it could be
obtained of all the druggists, Price
so cents and 81. Great saving ~ pur-
chasing large size. Sold by all drug
gists.

Board CT Health.

The board of health held their regular
monthly meeting last night, all present
except W. J. Entrikin.
On motion of G. f. Grantz the secre-
tary was instructed to procure one thou
sand blanks for reporting contagious dis
eases.
On motion of DR.. Piper the secretary
was authorized to cause card TO be placed
upon every house where scarlet fever ex-
ists, advertising the fact to the public;
also to notify the superintendent of schools
in what families scarlet fever exists and
advise that children from said families be
excluded from school during the preva-
lence of the disease.
The board has unofficial information
that two of Capt. Benefits children are
down with scarlet fever, besides which
several other cases have been officially
reported.
If this epidemic gets into the schools
the board of education will probably ac-
cede to the requests of the board of health
aud introduce protective regulations which
it has heretofore objected to.
