--THE editor of the Belmont
Courier is evidently lonesome. In
a recent issue of his paper he says
HThe press is forgetting how to
call things by their right names. A
bit of thievery by California Off
cisl is termed "a scandal" St.
Louis embezzlement is put down as
*official misconduct" in Boston, an
immense defalcation is written down
IS ian irregularity;" and everywhere
crime is mentioned in soft and sooth-
ing terms, as if to avoid hurting the
feelings of the criminals. 1t is time
to stop such pernicious sentimental
ity. Call rascalities by their right
names! Call them often! Call them
until outraged communities get mad
and make havoc with legal prece-
dents and noxious practices. This
done pertinaciously, and the time
will come when murderers and
thieves will no longer be local he.

[Frem the Carson Appeal


Bradley will be renominated. 1t is
but too true that he is formidable
candidate. "More's the pity; and
pity tis' stis true" 1t is as if a great
party were willing to accept the
successful issue of horse race as in
vindication of its principles and pro-
fessions. Look at facts:
Does Bradley represent loyalty to
the Union?
No.
Does he represent the generous
culture which should be placed
amongits jewels by the State?
No.
Does he represent the mining in
terest-the great and all dependant
industry of the State?
No.
Does he represent any principle
of finance or statecraft?
No.
Does he represent hospitality OF
intelligence or the social virtues?
No.
What does he represent?
Confederate sympathy; makeshifl
professions; the deplorable popu-
larity of droll and curious igno'
rance; the lowest types at dema-
goguery; and-''luck."

THE MONEY In USE In FRANCE
Bronze Sous the Coin of the PEG.
pie, and Carried Into the Treas.
ury.
Paris letter.

trdlk5 A-CbtcIsJ
The French sous, or pennies, and
double sous, are made OF bronze, and
the quantity of them in circulation is
immense. Among the lower classes
1t is the principal circulating me-
dunn. On the great fete days, when
the price of admission to the Expo
sition was five sous, four wagon loads
of this bronze money were sent to the
Treasury next day, weighing about
six tons. The passenger railway
and omnibus conductors receive
nothing but bronze money, and must
have carloads brought in daily.
While this is the case in Paris, it is
even more extensively used in the
country and the smaller towns. The
markets and small shopkeepers con.
duct their business largely with
bronze money. Gold is more album
dant than silver in the larger
branches of trade, and government
notes are seldom seen of smaller
denomination than one hundred
francs, up to five hundred and one
thousand. There would seem no
need here of silver, as the gold five
franc and the ten and twenty-franc
pieces are abundant and much more
convenient and acceptable than sill
yer money. The silver denomina-
tions are those of five francs, equal
to our dollar, two francs, one franc
and a half franc, equal to our dime.
Silver will never be used here, ex-
cept as means of making change in
purchases, or anywhere else where
gold and redeemable paper are avail
able.

SoME weeks ago an article re-
fecting upon the old Board of Al
derman Of Virginia City was pub
lishcd in this paper. 1t created so
profound an impression on the Com
stock that the present Board of Alder
men deemed it their duty to order an
immediate investigation into the
matter, to ascertain if the charges
intimated in the article referred to
were founded in fact. This was
about three weeks ago. Since then
not a word has been heard on the sub
iect. What can be the cause of this
protracted silence? 1t is in order
for some member of the Board to rise
and explain.

In his recent speech at the
grand dinner recently given to the
British Plenipotentiaries in the Lon
don Mansion House the Earl of Bea-
consfeld paid high tribute to the
American missionaries in Turkey.
He attached great value to the testi-
mony of those devoted men in re-
gard to the improvements which they
asserted had been made IN the con-
dition of the Christian subjects of
the Porte through the direct influence
of the Sultan. He referred to the
American missionaries as men of the
highest principle, of even sublime
character, who, devoting their lives
to the benefit of their fellow crea-
lures, sought no reward but the con-
victions of their own consciences.

In view of the frequency of
suicides in San Francisco hotels, it
would be good idea for landlords
to have transoms put in over the doors
of all sleeping apartments. Were
this done it would no longer be nee
sssary, when dodgers fail to emerge
from their rooms, to procure a ladder
and ascend to sixth or seventh-story
window to ascertain whether or not
it is another case of poison taken
with suicidal intent. A chair kept
in a recess on each floor would an
swer the purpose, and peep through
the transom would reveal the facts.

w. A. EDWARDS. a merchar

w. A. EDWARDS, merchant
in Richmond, Va, was taken before
justice Of the peace recently for
pursuing his business on Sunday. 1t
was shown that while Mr.. Edwards
was in religious belief a Christian,
he held to the theory that the seventh
and not the first day of the week is
the Sabbath, and that he had been
compelled to withdraw from the
Methodist Church on account of this
belief. The prisoner, by reason of
conscientious scruples, was dis
charged from custody. 1t appeared
that he regularly closes his places OF
business on Friday at sunset and
opens again on Saturday at the same
time, doing no business meanwhile.

oche has been very anxious to have
the hair grow in the place where 1t
ought to, and for that reason offered
800 to any one that would give
him something that would make it
grow. A party came along and
gave him prescription composed of
onions, garlic, rum and some bleach
ing stuff, recommending him to use
it four times daily. This was done
and the result at the end of two
weeks was that no hair grew, ana
what little hair there was on top of
his head before the applications were
made, was bleached from a pretty
blonde to nearly white. Phoebe
