While Dr. Carr was at Gallipolis his at
tentiOn was called to II case of yellow fe.
yer ten miles out from the place, and, in
company with Il resident physician, he
rode out in a buggy to the house of small
farmer by the name Of Buck or Burke,
whose son was the victim. DR.. Carr ar
rived at the place after nightfall, and
found the farmer sitting at watch-ire OF
pine knots in front of his domicile, afraid
to enter it lest he should catch the yellow
fever. The doctor made known the object
of his visit. The man was glad to see him,
for he said that all the rest of the family
had gone-scared away by the sons hor-
rible sickness. He thought his boy was
dead, for he hadn't heard him for several
hours, and did not dare to enter the house.
While they were talking a groan was
heard in the house. DIR. Carr took brand
and entered, and, following the direction
of the father, found the bedroom, but not
the patient. The place was in state of
disorder, and was filthy. An abomina-
bic stencil pervaded it, and the floors Of
the three ground-hoOr rooms were smear
ed all over with black yomit and other I'M
utterable ercretd of the wretched victim.
1t was sickening sight. DIR. Carr came
out and told the father that the young
man was not inside. HE must be in
there somewhere" replied the man, ''for
| heard him groan Just now." DR., Carr
replenished his light and re-entered, and
after more careful search found what he
thought at first was a negro, covered with
black and filthy clothing, in dirty cor
ner behind the cooking-stove. 1t was the
wretched, abandoned, and dirty youth,
covered with filth, who in his delirium
and search for water, had crawled all over
the dirty floors OF the cabin, and, finally
exhausted, sank down in the corner to
die, DR.. Carr learned that for twenty
four hours no one had been near the poor
wretch. His own flesh and blood forsook
him and fed, and there he suffered and
died in manner that Freezes ones blood
to think Of.

| From the London Daily Ncws.
The importation of food at Liverpool
from America last week was remarkable
for the increase in the individual consign.
mcnts of live stock. The time is rapidly
approaching when additional difficulties
will be experienced in the conveyance Of
live ANIMALS, and while the present fay
omble weather lasts the shippers on the
other side of the Atlantic seem anxious to
take every advantage of it. Although last
week there were only five steamers arriv-
ing with live stock, yet the number has
far exceeded many previous weeks, partic-
ularly as regards sheep. In fresh beef
the quantity was slightly smallerla last week
than the previous one. The steamers were
the lllyrian, from Boston, with 276 live
cattle, 333 sheep, 407 pigs, q calves, and
3 horses; the city of Bristol, from Phila-
delphia, with 800 cattle and l,1SS sheep;
the Lord Give, from Philadelphia, with
404 cattle; the Lake Champlain, from
Montreal, with 300 cattle; and the steamer
Palestine, from Boston, with 2j4 cattle.
The Egypt, of the National line, from New
York, had on board B valuable horses.
There were again no arrivals of either NUT
ton or fresh butter. The number of calves
by the Illyrian is about the only consign-
ment of any note of that description of
stock that has yet arrived alive in this
country from the States. OF fresh beef the
steamer Celtic brought 700 quarters and
the Egypt 564. The totals for the week
were l,544 cattle, 5,02l sheep, 407 pigs,
q calves, 36 horses, and 1884 quarters
of fresh beef.

Pay the Silver Coin for Interest.

Why don't the authorities at Washing.
ington pay out the silver coin that is d
drug on their hands, and will not circulate
among the people, for interest due on oul
oppressive bonds. There is said to he
nearly $lO,OOO,000 of silver in the treasury
that the treasurer cannot get the people
to use. Why not pay these millions Of
coin to the bondholders for interest and
reduce the debt. The bonds call for coin
interest payment but silver is cheap coin
and the peoples servants at Washington
will not pay it to their foreign masters.
They demand dear gold coin. These men
are not honest to their country. The peo.
pie will some day take these unfaithful ser.
wants and throw them "into outer dark.
ness,, where there shall be weeping and
crashing Of teeth" and then they will
ssrve them right

FROM thc new lorK Sthr.
Joseph Head, of Hannibal, Mo-, at
tempted to drown his wife in horse-pond,
an attempt which was frustrated by the
timely arrival of his son upon the scene
with shotgun Thereupon Head drew
pocket-knife and cut his iugular vein in
two. 1t is the hard lot of some men never
to succeed in anything they undertake,
and considering the peculiar circumstances
of Heads case, his use Of the pen-knife
seems TO have been entirely iustifable.

The supreme court decided that tn,
grecnback legal tender currency is con
stitutional money. Its solemn decision
was that the law of February @, 1862
making grccnbacks a legal tender, is q
constitutional act, and it will confirm the
same should an act of congress increase
the grccnback issue. 1t will do so in ac.
cord with the precedent already alluded
to and in doing so will be hailed with ioy
by the MASSES OF thcpcOplc. The supreme
court had the following questions to de,
eide. Can congress COnsttutiOnally give
to treasury notes the character and auali
ties of money? Can such notes be consti,
tutcd Il legitimate circulating medium.
having Il defined legal valuc?" The
court decided that congress had such con
stitutOnal power and is the Judge of the
public CXlgenCy demanding the exercise of
the power without reference to the circum-
stances peace or war. The decision of
the court was as follows: Thoroughly
convinced as we are that congress has not
tranSgcsScd its powers, we regard it as our
duty so to decide and to affirm both these
judgments. For the truthfulness of
these quotations see Wallace II, pages
$50 and j42. Under these rulings congress
has the power to issue the legal tender
note in peace or war as before stated by
Chief Justice Marshall in the following
words: "The government is to pay the
debt of the Union. and must be authorized
to use the means which appear to itself
most eligible to effect that object" Gold

We hear Republicans say they are in
favor of the financial principles of the
Greenback party. We hear Democrats
say they fully subscribe to the Greenback
platform--but the true test of mans
sincerity on the great question of the hour,
national finance, is will we vote the
Greenback ticket?

They who make haste slowly abide the

due difference to the requirements of pol
icy, are necessary in all political action.
The triumph of principles and not the ad-
vancement of individuals is what we

ciplcs they indorse are just, and should

HERE is a great misapprchcnsion
among large classes of our people, really
interested with us, as to the purposes OF
the Nationals to flood the country with
issues of irrcdecmable paper money. That
ID not correct understanding of our pur-
poses. There is in this country II little
more than fourteen dollars per capita Of
currency. In France they have forty-six
dOIlars-more than three times our rate
and yet our country, being new and
undevcloped, needs much more money in
circulation than France, and yet we
haven't third as much. The Nationals
propose the issue of Il certain reasonable
amount of paper money per capita. That
is all.

Or course the National Greenback La
Dor party will commit mistakes. 1t would
be strange if they did not. The active
leaders are new in the field of political
manipulations and the skilled wirc-pull-
ers "get in their work" on them. The
great trouble is the rank and file of the
new party do not know, as yet, who to
trust as their friends, and is good deal
more likely to trust in oily CANNON enemy
than plain spoken friend Such has
been the case, and such will continue to
be the case until they learn to study the
probable effect of definite action. That
will not be long.

In 1866 Mr.. Carillet, OF Vlncennes,
France, took two young pear trees, each
of which was worked on the ounce stock,
and one Of these, the Beurre de Aremburg,
was made to serve as the stock, while the
other, the Beurre de Charneu was graft
ed upon it in an inverted position, having
its roots fully exposed to the air. The
operation was performed in April and dur
ing the summer the stock grew vigorously
and bore two fruits, while the scion tree
threw out buds and shoots from the ounce
stock. To add to the complexity Of the
experiment, Mr.. Carillet grated four pear
scions on the principal roots of the ounce,
and two of these succeeded The sap
thus passed from ounce roots through
Beure de Aremburg, thirdly through the
inverted Beurre de Chameu, then through
the ounce again, and finally into the two
varieties of pears. London Garden.

A TOUCH CURVATURE.
Deadwood Pioneer.

George Coleman, a celebrated writer Of
the early part of this century, said: "All
argument vanishea before one touch of ma
ture." How beautifully was THAT illustrated
on Saturday evening last, when Judge
Moody had to pronounce the awful sentence
of death on the unfortunate man Couk. He
held up with manly bearing through all the
intricacies of the argument, both pro and
con, and pronounced his decision in the
fairest, most equitable manner. But when
the final duty the Law imposed upon him to
perform came, and when the quality of mer.
cy could not be extended, the natural feel.
ings of his generous nature we're too much,
and the tear Of sympathy difnsed his eye
and choked his utterance when he had to
speak the doom Of his unfortunate fellow
traveller through this vale of tears.
