HOW TO GET GOOD TIMES.

A Pennsylvania paper sets up the following
gasde'board as shoaoing the aoay to good times:
Curse the capitalists; frighten them all you can,
Do not let them go into business. Ifttey shoao
any opposition to do So call a meeting; get up a

Dangers Of Curled Hair.

Melvina Mcguire, an operative In the picker
room at Glover s. wilcomb's curled hair fac
tory, Hyde Park, Mass, was taken sick on Sat-
urday night with malignant pustule or charbon
fever, and now lies in q dangerous condition.
Margaret Donnelley died at Denham, August
IA, from the same disease contracted at the
same place, and her death was returned as
diphtheria by DR.. Ware. Thomas Wslch, his
son Thomas, and his daughter, of Hyde Park,
died about two years ago Of the same disease
contracted at the same place. They were
attended by Dr. Fogg Of Norwood, who Is now
attending the Mcguire girl. About five weeks
ago lot of Siberian hair was received from
New York, and the operatives complained OF
its filthy condition, and threatened to leave II
compelled to work it, and the hair was ostensi-
bly, sent back to New York. Shortly after 10
was returned mixed with good hair, either at
New York or the factory. An operative named
Harrington noticed this and remarked upon 10
for which it is said he was discharged. IL Is
claimed that the Donnelly girl and the Maguire
girl were poisoned by this lot. On its becom-
ing known that the Mcguire girl was taken
sick the girls in the picker-room nearly all quit
work, and great indignation Is expressed against
Superintendent Daniel Sheedy for his alleged
knowledge of the condition OF the hair

The Confederate "Fiat Money"

The paper money issued by the confederates
was Stat money" 1t was currency only re-
deemable six months after the independence Of
the Confederacy should be recognized by the
United States Government. II was unre-
deemed during the existence of the Confedera-
cy, and rested for all the value it had upon the
"fat" of the Confederate Government. There
was no gold or silver in quantities sufficient to
supply the demands of trade, and that, money
was issued for that. purpose. 1t was issned
just as it was needed, and was in all respects q
perfect symbol of the "absolute" money the
sgitators are now crying for. Never-did mon
ey depreciate more rapidly. In January, 1862,
it took S12O to buy one hundred in gold. In
August it look 5000. On the first of January,
1868, it took $31O. A year later, $500. One
year later still, $54OO. On the 18th of April,
1865. the cost of SI0O gold was $500, ;and after
chased golden eagle. What did this mean to
the possessor of this "fiat money!" To the
laborer, the tradesman, the farmer, the soldier,
or the capitalist? 1t meant that when this
"fat money" was held at $1,000 Tor SlOO in
specie, that $40 pair of boots cost $1OO. 80
cent pound of tea, So. When the value was at
$1,000 or SO, 900 for 500 in gold, the boots cost
$500 or $500, the tea $40 or SIS. Meantime
wages by no means increased proportonately,
and the direst distress prevailed. During the
four years of war, this currency was affected by
every change in public feeling. The end of the
war was the collapse of this "fst money"
During the war, however, it possessed all the
attributes OF fiat money, so dear to the hearts
of the Nationals. 1t was legal tender. 1t was
precisely what fiat money now would be. The
workingman's So would be taken for 50, bat II
would only buy an article that was worth 80
cents in gold or in a redeemable paper curren-
cy. This leaf of history is worth study.

The several Conventions holden under the auspices

Ject in view, we trust the various Reform Clubs in
this State will send full delegations to the Conven-
tlon and thus aid in "rescuing the perishing" and
elevating humanity.
The following arrangements have been made with
the railroads and steamboats, for the round trip

THE Boston Herald sensibly remarks:
"The people who make the most bitter COM
plants about the hardships involved in the
public debt contribute the least to it. Those
who clamor the loudest to have the Govern
ment bonds taxed pay the smallest taxes.
The ''workingmen" who make the most
noise about the privations of labor are those
who are trying to live without labor. The
spectators who demand more money are
those who were not smart enough to save
what they had when times were s'fush."
