Domestic Habits Of the Paiernal Dollar.

Domestic Habits Of the Paternal Dollar.
The paternal dollar ~obstinately re-
fuses to leave the treasury vaults.
Every possible effort is made to- force
this coin out into the hands Of a bust
ness community supposed to be clamor-
ous for it. But all in vain; it fingers
undisturbed. Usually the inward flow
of silver dollars is about equal to the
outflow. But, after three weeks of
pushing and coaxing, the treasury de-
partment has actually succeeded in get
ting rid of 500, 600 in silver dollars in
excess Of its receipts. This ought TO be
considered a great victory for the advo-
Gates of ''the standard dollar" as n sta
pie currency; $4,000 is a great deal of
money, and if the government could
only shut down on the coinage and
force out silver dollars at the present
rate, the time may yet come when the
bulk of the silver dollars will be alb
sorbed into the circulation of the
country.

Those Who Live in Glass Houses, etc

Those Who Live in Glass Houses, etc.
The proverb, .'Those who live IN
glass houses should not throw stones"
dates back to the Union of England
and Scotland, at which time London
was inundated with ~Scotchmen. This
did not please the Duke of Bucking-
ham, who organized a movement
against them, and parties were formed,
who went about nightly to break their
windows. In retaliation, a party of
Scotchmen smashed the windows of
the Dukes mansion, which stood in
st. Martins Fields, and had so many
windows that it went by the name of
the Glass House. The Duke appealed
to the King, who replied: 'Steenie,
Steenie, those wha live in glass houses
should be careful how they fling stanes."
