CHINESE MONEY.-The Chinese probably
illustrate, in the most extreme manner, the
length to which loose views concerning cur
rency can be carried. The history of their
currency presents that m;ngling of the gro
tesque with the tragic, which most of their
actions have, when viewed through Western
eyes. Coined money was known among them
as early as the eleventh century before Christ,
but their inability to comprehend the princi-
Piles upon which currency should be based,
has led them into all sorts of extravagancies,
which have been attended by disorder, famine,
and boodshed. Coins came at last to be
made so thin that 1000 of them piled togeth.
er were only three inches high then gold and
silver were abandoned; and copper, tin, shells,
skins, stones, and paper, we're given a fixed
value, and used, until by abuse, all the ad-
vantages to be derived from the use Of money
we're lost, and there was nothing left for the
people to do but to 60 back to barter, and
this they did more than once. They cannot
be said now to have coinage; twenty.nine
hundred years ago they made round coins
with square hole in the middle, and they
have made no advance beyond that since.
The well-known cash is cast brass coin of
that description, and, although it is valued at
about one mill and half of our money, and
has to be strung in lots of one thousand to be
computed with any ease, it is the sole measure
of value and legal tender of the country.

The BEST GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD
The Washington Post has the following pun
gent paragraph on this much hacknied phrase:
One of the most amusing things we have
perused in long time, is screed in one Of
the soporo6c dailies of Philadelphia, congrat-
ulating its readers that our country is not like
Germany, where they 60 cunning for emper-
ors nor like Russia, where to abolish trial by
the executioner is more convenient; nor like
any other effets monarchy; but, on the other
hand, as the late Mr.. Morton was fond ofsay-
ing, the best government the world ever saw.
All of which is doubtless true, except as to
few incensequencial details; for example, in
sixteen years we have had the most tremen-
dous civil war and social revolution ever
known; we have had one President assassina-
ted, another impeaohed, and third stolen
into Office in defiance Of the popular will We
have had section of our country, containing
upwards of 100000 people, governed by
satraps and dragon officers on the approved
Russian plan ; we have had tyranny of fnan-
cial policy that has crushed the very life out
of our industries and finally, we are now en-
gagged in an inquest upon the highest officials
in the country, with view of indicting them
for common perjury and forgery, or the sub
ornation thereof by bribery. With these few
triiing exceptions, We join our soporidc con-
temporary In rejoicing that we are not as 9th
er men, but, on the contrary, have the best
government the world ever saw.

THEPARK.

The north side Park is sadly in need
of attention. Nature has done much
toward identifying this spot and little
care would make it an object of pride to
the city instead of source of mortifi-
cation which it is in its present condition.
The fence suggests shiftlessness aud the
slope on Eighth street looks as if it were a
favorite haunt for woodchueks and foxes.
A judicious expenditure of few dollars
would at least fill up the burrows which
are yearly enlarging while neglected.
The south side Park is a "thing of beau
ty" and local pride should do something
toward making that at the north side q
little more presentable.

CLARhS MILLS.

Sunday evening, June 10th, bright
little girl of five years, daughter of Mr..
John Halron, put her hand in the straw
cutter while her father was using it.
Since that time she has had only three
fingers on that hand, and the doctor visits
her every day in order to save very
small piece that is left Of her second
finger. She does not want to touch
machinery any more; is even suspicious
of the sewing machine and enquired if
that too would cut off fingers. Teddie is
brave little girl, and bears her pain
with great fortiiude, but she sometimes
sheds few tears for the poor little finger
that is gone.

making the Two Rivers boys a good

as rain prevented the completion of the

A son of Mr.. Gillet, about ten
years old was drowned'in the Manitowoc
river on Tuesday. He, and some more
boys, went up the river about two miles
for the purpose of bathing. None of the
boys could swim. Willie Gillet was am
using himself by riding on log floating
near the shore. The log drifted toward
the middle of the river and the boy was
unable to maintain his hold and fell off.
None of his companions could render him
any assistance and he was drowned. The
body has been recovered.
