4 NUVILlY LIN HAlR.
I wish to inform Ladies that [ have
new couture Of natural hair called the Null
tiform, curl nearly two yards in length,
from the many shapes it is capable of TAX
ing, all of which are simple and exceeding
ly graceful. In fact it seems incapable of
taking on stiff and awkward appearance.
The MULTIFORM COUTURE is ac.
companied by metal cylinder, which en-
ables ladies to dress it over readily and with
little expenditure of time; so that additional
expense is not required to keep it in order.
Ladies having combings or cut hair can
have the above made of it. l keep coa-
stantly on hand large variety of switches,
curls, puffs, frizess Saratoga and Invisible
Fronts, which are at the very lowest prices.
Faded switches dyed and cleaned to look as
good as new. Please call and examine my
goods. sag F. TRZCINSKI.

HERBERT S. COX, Carriage Trimmer,
IL LIST street, two blocks south of Main
The New York herald., 1878-01-16
Dan Voorhees,, speech.

The Tall Sycamore Of the Wabash, as his
friends delight to call him, delivered in the
Senate yesterday his long-heralded speech
"in support of the public faith" These
fine words were stolen by Mr.. Voorhees, out
of the vocabulary of the advocates of honest
money, but in his mouth they are like
dreams which go by contraries. When gip-
sizes steal children they mutilate and dis
color them so that their very parents
would not know them. Quite as little
would the real champions of the
public faith recognize the meaning of
their own language when used by the Tall
Sycamore of the Wabash. According to this
Western orator keeping public faith means
paving the bonded debt in greenbacks.
Congress broke faith with the people, he
maintains, when, in 1869, it passed the act
declaring that the public debt is payable in
coin. 1t would be an anachronism at this
late day to bestow upon this rubbish the
dignity of refutation. We should as soon
think of arguing against the extinct copper
headism which this same Tall Sycamore Of
the Wabash used to foment with all his
chaste and peculiar eloquence.
The New York herald., 1878-01-16
New York's EnvOrfte.

John Brougham has been New York's
favorite actor. Everybody likes. him per-
sonally and professionally. Not a play
goer in the city but has at some time been
delighted with his genial humor, passed a
pleasant hour in witnessing his admirable
personations and gone home feeling happier
and better for the entertainment. We have
had John Brougham with us for years and
we are not likely to have him for q great
many years longer. Tomorrow, which is
set apart, afternoon and evening, for a
sort of dramatic jubilee in honor of New
York's favorite, will be a great day in the
theatrical profession and with the public.
John Brougham's benefit ought to be
marked as one of the most successful dra-
matte enterprises, as it is certainly one of
the most interesting dramatic events, ever
known in New York. No doubt at each
performance the spacious Academy of Music
will be crowded to it's utmost capacity.

selves to the purpose OF making red letter day In
the history OF the Now York stage Upward OF eighty
performers will appear and eightoen carefully chosen
pieces will be given with all the pride and that

nounccment is enough. There seems, however, to be

Senator Eaton's Amen Il m nt.

Senator Eaton, who is man of sense,
vigor and infexible consistency, is likely to
give the silver lunatics some trouble.
When the Bland bill comes up he intends
to offer an amendment which will be per-
fectly germane to the bill but would render
it worthless in the eyes of its advocates.
Mr. Eaton will move to substitute for the
silver dollar Of 412 IL grains, provided for
in the bill, q silver dollar of 42O grains.
He has not fully decided that 42O
grains is precisely the right number,
but DR.. Lindermann, the Director Of
the Mint, can inform him how
many grains OF silver ut the present price
have the same market value as the quantity
of gold in gold dollar. When Senator
Eaton has ascertained this on the authority
of competent experts he will move to
amend the Bland bill by substituting that
number of grains. His purpose is the hon.
est one of making the silver dollar and the
gold dollar of equal value. He does not
believe in double standard at all, but if
the experiment is again to be tried he will
insist on an honest start. There is really
nothing to be said in favor, but every
thing to be said against, two unequal
standards of value. There would be as
much sense in yards of unequal length OF
gallons of unequal capacity. Mr.. Eaton
has selected an excellent standpoint for the
part lie intends to take in the discussion.
His argument will be free from every kind
OF side entanglement 1t will steer clear
of the double standard controversy, ol
the greenback controversy, of the con.
troversy about the payability of the
bonds in silver, and insist on the single
point that what is called dollar in law
shall possess the value of dollar in fact
He will, therefore, plant his batteries on
absolutely impregnable ground.

Mr.. schleicher on the Sinking Fnnd


Representative Schleicher, of Texas, who
is firm hard money man and very intelli-
gent one, has introduced a joint resolution
for suspsnding payments into the sinking
fund for the next two or three years, while
we are going through the experiment of
establishing specie payments, the money
thus withheld to be used for the purposes
of redemption. His idea is to treat the
bonds which have been redeemed beyond
the requirements of the sinking fund rs
contributions to it, and as the excess
amounts to $3.50, 100000 payments into
that fund could be forborne for three
years without violating any engage
ment to the public creditors We
have no doubt that this is an expedient
measure. 1t would strengthen the Treasury
at time when it Will need all available re-
sources to go safely and successfully through
q great and critical experiment. Having
undertaken to re-establish specie payments
next year we must incur no risk Of failure.
The country is in too much distress to bear
any increase of taxation, and it would be
perfectly legitimate to class all the bonds
that have been redeemed as contributions
to the sinking fund and suspend further
payments into that fund until the total re-
duction of the debt merely suffice for main
tanning the original pledge.

THE WEATHER.--Thc centres of depression,
which were yesterday evening over Maine and
the st. Lawrence Valley have moved mort heast-
ward toward Newfoundland ard Labrador re-.
epectivcly, with low, but not falling barometer
General cloudlness and rains have attended the
movement of the depression, snow falling over
the lakes and northern districts of Canada
The cloud area, however, does not extend
further to the westward than the Upper Ohio
Valley. Owing to the very moderate pressurcs
following the storm within the areas that are
above the mean, the winds attending the depres-
sion on its southerly and westerly margins are
moderate to brisk, and in no instance rise to
q high velocity. Over all the region west
ward of the eghtieth meridian to the Rocky
Mountains, except Montana and Western Dakota,
the pressure has risen, and is highest in the
southwest. Indications however, point TO the
advance Of depression from the regions re-
fcrred to. The barometer is very low, with
heavy rains and high winds on the
Pacific coast. The disturbance which
causes these conditions will probably
cross the Rocky Mountains over Montana as a
storm centre. Heavy rains and snow may be
expected in the northern trans-montanc Terri
tories. The temperatures have remained almost
stationary. The weather in New York and its
vicinity to-day will be partly cloudy or fair and
cool. Tomorrow it will be colder aud clear or
partly cloudy:
