What think you would be the result if the
earth should stop spinning around the sun?
Were you ever near large and intricate
machine when one of its wheels became
clogged or broken-near enough to hear the
grating jarring clash, the sudden, deaiening
crash? Astronomers assure us that precisely
similar effects, only on an inconcevably
grander scale, woud be produced if our earth
one Of thewheels in the universe machine,
should suddenly cease its revolutions. In
other words, there would be a general clash
and crash of satellites, planets, and systems.
What we term financial crises are due to
similar causes. One of the wheels in the f.
nance-machine becomes clogged, perhaps
shattered. The terrible Wall-street "crasl"
which follows is communicated 10 every part
Of the financial mechanism of the country.
But analogies do not stop here. There is
that other mechanism, the most intricate of
all-sOmetimes called an organism because
1t generates its own iorces-the human ma
chine. When one of its members fails to
perform its Office the whole system is thrown
into disorder Members before considered
unassailable, break down under the unnatu-
raj pressure. The shock comes, and utter
prostration is the result Repaation can
only be effected by the restoration of the i'm
paird parts,and the adjustment ofits levers,
the physical forces. There is one part of
the machine more liable TO disorder than
any other,-the liver,-the great balance
wheel Of the machine.
The liver being the great depurating or
blood-cleansng organ of the system, set it at
work and the foul corruptions which gender
in the blood, and rot out, as it Were, the
machinery of life, are gradually expelled
from the system. For this purpose DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, used
daily, and DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgatiye
Pellets, taken in very small doses, are pre-
emenintly the articles needed. They cure
every kind of humor from the worst scrof-
ula to the common pimple, blotch, or errup-
tion. Great eating ulcers kindly heal under
their mighty curative influence. Virulent
blood poisons that lurk in the system are by
them robbed Of their terrors, and by their
perseyering and somewhat protracted use the
most tainted systems may by completely
renovated and built up anew. Enlarged
glands, tuners and swellings dwindle away
and disappear under the influence of these
great resolYents.

Elizabeth r. Tilton has written brief
letter, dated Brooklyn, April 10Th, declaring
that the charge brought by her husband Of
improper intimacy between herselfand Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher was true, and that her
past denials of the charge were falsehoods.
simultaneously with this letter appears an
epistle from Mr.. Beecher, Waverly, N. Y.
April 10Th, in which hessays: 81 confront
Mrs. Titon's confession with an explicit
and absolute denial The testimony to her
own innocence and to mine which for four
years she had made to hundreds in private
and public, before the Court, in writing and
orally, declare to be true"
". T. Sun: "The first that F. D. Moul-
ton heard of Mrs. Tilton's confession was
when he was told of it by a reporter as he
was leaving Albany late on Monday night.
Mr.. uouton said that he was convinced
that the confession would be made sooner or
later, but he was not expecting it at this
time. He added: 81 knew from my knowl-
edge of Mrs. Tilton that it must come. She
was SO hpT2ght ana so sincere IN her love Tor
truth that it was only question of time
when she would tell it," 80 upright and
so sincere IN her lore for the truth" This is
decidedly rich as coming from the "mutual
friend" Was it truth when she first con-
tossed her guilt with Beecherj was it TRUTH
when she swore ON the stand that she had
never had immoral intercourse with the
rev. gentleman; or is it truth now, when
utter living four years wilful lie she comes
out and confesses herself falsifier, per-
jurer and an adultress? Which of the
characters is it that the mutual friend" so
much admires for truthlulness? This latest
confession" will induce many to believe
Mr.. Beecher innocent of the charge.

On Tuesday, May 7th, the directors ol
the common schools of this county will be
called upon to select County Superintend-
ent. There are four aspirants in the field for
the position; r. f. IIoh0rd the present able
and efficient incumbent, who asks another
term, and three new men-S. ii. HOllinger,
of Summit Hill II. A. Kline, of Mauch
Chunk, and j. p. Rowland, Of Parryville,
all good and efficient teachers, but untred
as Superintendents and,as for us,we would
not attempt to spoil a good teacher to make
poor County Superintendent Mr.. lIoilord,
has been tried and found to be eilicient:
under his management our schools have
multiplied and prospered, and, therefore,
why need we change? 1t is not political
office, where each aspirant, in order to save
the party, must have his term irrespective of
fitnessl 1t is position of great response
bilty, and requires for its fulfillmcnt a man
of sterling integrity and industry man
fitted by education and experience, to per-
form the duties, and such a man r. F. Hof-
ford has proved himself in the past, and we
trust the directors will give him another
term. Under him, there is no doubt but
that our schools will continue to move on
in their prosperous career

The decline in the premium on gold to
one quarter of one per cent, and the ap-
preaching use of gold as currency which
this decline foreshadows, have raised the
question of the results likely to follow such a
practical resumption of specie payments.
a certain class of spectators are confident
that when gold coin, which has for so many
years been nothing but merchandise, bought
and sold like iron or lead, shall have been
restored to its former place as money, the
consequence will be an imitation of the cir
culating medium, which will lead TO a rise
in the prices Of labor and of all kinds Of
commodities. The sincerity of their convic-
tions is attested by the course of the stock
market. Somebody has evidently been buy
ing in anticipation of selling out again at an
advance, but whether or no this antici-
patton will be realized, yet remains to be seen.
Oar own opinion has always been that when
resumption finally came and gold was res
tored to use as money, there would be a
certain relief experienced in the money mar
kct from the additional supply thus thrown
into it, But we fear that the degree of this
relief is oyerestimated by those who forget
that gold is now, and has for a long time
been, indirectly employed as money, by
forming part Of the bank reserves. The
National Banking act requires national banks
in cities to keep ON hand in lawful money OF
the United states an amount equal to twenty,
five per cent. Of the aggregate amount o
their deposits. All the rest they may lend
out, and until lately have done so. The
banks of this city, for example, showed by
their last statement that they held S2S SO ,l0(
in legal tender notes and 80, ,lSG,gOO in specie
or S64 900 of lawful money altogether
against SOL g26,GOO of deposits Sine,
twenty-five per cent. of these deposit,
would be $50 ISL $50, it is evident that the
surplus gold is only Sl3,G7l $50, and would
not be sufficient 10 produce any striking in,
ilation. Against this, too, must be reckonct
the necessity which the banks would feel %
strengthening themselves 10 meet a possibl,
run, SO that we cannot see how resumption
would immediately cause any rcmarkabl,
ease in the money market or any incrcas,

Coal shipments for nInv,

The Board of Control of the coal combina-
ton held its monthly meeting in Philadel-
phia, Tuesday and agreed upon the follow
ing quotas for May philadelphia and
Reading, 900 tons; Lehigh Vallev,2OO,-
600 tons; Central Railroad of New Jersey,
10000 tons; Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, 10000 tons; Delaware and IIud-
son Canal Company, 100000 tons; Penn
sylvania Railroad, 10000 Pennsylvania
Coal Company, 10000 tons. Total, ,3Oj,-
600 tons. This will make reduction of
about 2,jOO,OOO tons for the period fIpm
January to May 81, as compared with the
same period last year. The tonnage for
May as fixed is 10000 tons less than for
the present month. The quota allotted to
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad is
$4,000 tons greater than the amount to be
shipped for the month of April, the increase
being attributed to the better demand, for
coal. The stock at the wharves AT Port
Richmond is now only 10000 tons; less
than at any time for a long period,

Manure for Orchards.

Wood ashes are doubtless excellent for
orchards, bu instead of being put around
the trees they should be spread over the
whole land. But where are the ashes 10
COME from in this region? We have
little or no wood, and of course little or
no ashes. In our limited experience
we have learned one thing in regard to
orchards as well as fruit trees of every
kind that we have cultivated, and we be-
lieve the principle can be applied pretty
much TO everything that grows upon the
earth, which is that the application of
manure benefits them all. Ground occu-
pied with fruit trees should be manured

European Agriculture.

Mr.. Futon,i in the Baltimore american,
writes In recent letter from Europe In
our recent journey through southern
France THE entire circuit of Italy through
a considerable portion of Austria and
Germany, through Belgium and north.
ern France, the distance being nearly
5000 miles, we observed that much the
largest portion of the laborers in the field
were women. They were not only making
hay, but plowing moving, boeing ,grubb-
ing and planting, They were not only do
ing the work OF men, but such work as
men usually depend on horses to perform.
In all the vast country we did not see a
horse-rake, cultivator, or labor-saving
implement. The only cultivator was the
primitive hoe; and a hne of women,
mostly superintended by one or two men,
bent their backs 20 the labor. The only
plows locked as if they might have been
modelled after the implements which
Noah landed from the Ark. We did see
one tnreshing machine standing on car
at a depot in Austria, which was the only
lsbor-saving machine that attracted our
attention. But even in Italy, with the ex-
ception of the Roman Campagna, the
culture was fine, and the crops most
promising of rich harvest. Every inch
of ground was made to yield to the ut.
most, and wheat, corn, grapes and fruit
all bore evidence of skillful cultivation.

ONE OF the heaviest losers by the in
famous Bank of Glasgow failure is the
Duke of Sutherland. His Grace picked
up four shares of the model concern a
few years ago and these shares will now
cost him about S5,000,0O0. This is a
snug little losing, but it will not affect
the Duke seriously. lie has net income
of 5000, 900 and is apushing money-mak--
ing gentleman. He lives at Stafford
House in London, and his home is al
ways open to distinguished foreigners and
travellers. The Duke, it is said has never
frittered his money away in selfish pleas
ures like many of us. His Grace is an
excellent practical mechanic an an assid-
uous Director of the Condor and North
