Ben Butler is nov stumpine thsAcoun-
try in the role of Al Gceenback champion
md as the enemy of all oppressoH OF the
people," He has lately been telling his
hearers how capital" is depressing them;
in the Government 4 per cents. He de-
clares that the sale Of a 1 per cent bond,
free from taxation, makes the rate of in
terest oppressive upon the people.
Eight years ago June 10, 1870, in lie
National House of Representatives., Ne.
Mayham moved to strike out the excep-
ton from taxation clause from the loan
bill by which the 4 per cent bonds were
authorized. T~hereupon this same Butler,
now the enemy of all bondholders, said:
NBy exempting these bonds from taxa
ton we discount our taxes in our interest,"
We say, as we " a right to say, il you
will lend us money we will agree that no
authority under the government shall tax
the income or the interest or the principal
into the contract; il is a part of the con
s~iderations That holds us, and ought to-
do so. Tits the simple. plain
question whether we have power to tax
an ~untaxable bond with IA low rate of In
terest, where we THROWN the tax, if may
use that phrase, discounted tin order to:
drive q good bargain. That's clearly with
m ourpower, and, insmy judgement, clear
" within our discretion. 1t is q proper
mode OF exercising discretion. There
fore / desire that this shall not be stricken
Eont-not that this property will thereby
escape taSationt and i desire no mar TO
go tolthe people and say that we have
issued q bond to escape taxation but i
wish them 90 go 20 thepeople and say that
we have discounted taxation onsthat
bond in advance, as We shall doll we pass
this at q low rate of interest, and we fund
under it.
The amendment was defeated by avote
of nearly four to one, and largely, no
doubt, by this clear and honest explana-
ton. Butler then talkedlike q statesman
and fnancier. Heis now acting the dema-
gogue, seeking office by the votes of those
Ignorant enough to swallow his sophis-
Itries.

1.-The history of the1currency9 from 1850,
at which-time anattempt at reform was
made, consists simply of q change from
one form Of paper to another, until the
panic of 1873, The fcause which led to it
was the large issue Of paper Immediately
after the war Of 1856. The abundance Of
this kind of money induced the belief of a
great amount Of capital,a and undertakings
of all kinds were entered INTO Monetary
affairs in AUSTRIA during, the years up to
1873 we're simply,a reflection of our own,
The Tffldess speculations were engaged in
there a5here, and the end was the same.
The crash came, as come it must with
'sdchea stateIofthingsSSah and TERRIBLE alamis
ties were the result. Since the crisis, ey-
cry effort hasibeen made to bring about an
Improvement, but az yet perfect order has
not come out of the financial chaos.
Such is the experience Of Austria with
paper money. She has tried every arti-
fee which the pseudo economists Of the
United States have urged upon this peo-
pie, and each and every one has failed
leaving behind consequences dis
and %deplorable. It is only another
Of the many proofs that disaster and ruin
follows al imitation Of the. currency
by IN irredeemable issue Of D money.

Ellen Bishop, plaintiff in. breach
OF promise case just tried in Tolland,
Connecticut, is described rs "bru.
netie. with pleasant, regular features,
and large, lustrous eyes, but evident
ly passing beyond the first bloom of
womanhood. She is a schoOl-teacher.
George b. Williams is "good.look.
ing, stalwart farmer. with curly hair,
sunburnt face, and long, tawny beard,
and is approaching middle age" As
long ago as 1870, these two began to
keep company after the Down East
fashion, sitting up" together until
one or two o'clock at night, about
once week. In 1873, the courtship
had progressed so far that marriage
was talked about, and in the next year
Miss Bishop says, Williams popped
the question formally. She remem-
bered the occasion well. hCcsuse she
then for the first time sat in his lap,
and he Tor the first time kissed her.
She made preparations for a wedding,
but the lover. who had already occu
pied six years with courtship, was il
no greater hurry then. He postponed
the wedding-day twice, and iiRally
refused to marry her at all. The jury
gave her a verdict for $1,000.

Perpetual Motion accomplished.

A magnetic clock. invented by Dan

able to he worth description. The
magnetism Of the earth, an inexhaust-
able source Of power, is made to oscil-

Of all the works gives an assurance Of
the least possible friction. At a GER

dulum itself shut off magnetic con-
nection with the earth, and at anoth-
or point restore the connection, thus
securing the condition. necessary to
produce its oscillations. The works
are 20 ingenious that il is no wild as
sertion to make that, were il not for
the unavoidable wearing out caused
by even the small amount Of friction,
the clock would run e long as the
solid earth endures. This clock Is
hung against board partition, with
all the works exposed, subject to the
Earrings of machinery and obstruction
from dust settling on il, yet since
March |, 1877. it has been running
continuously and uniformly, with only
slight reported variations, as tested by
transit observations at noon.

Hosobfs of the Read

A new "brothcrhood" and H. mys-
tic signs has been revealed 10 the
Scranton Ficc Prcss. That paper
say. that n few days since, while a
tramp" was trudging along he met II
man going in the opposite direction.
They compared notes. Il was n meet
ing of Box aud Cox-jour. printer
and Jour. tailor. Both were "fiat
broke" and we're foragiDg on the farm
houses. The tailor asked the printer
if he had ever heard Of "Knights Of
the Road."-a fraternity among en-
forced peripatetics. The printer had
not, whereupcn the tailor proposed to
initiate him; and going into the woods
hard by, the printer was duly "obli-
gated" IL seems that each member
carries hard piece Of red chalk, and
when he gets food at n house he makes
cross on the gate, to signify that il
is the house of the "good man." u
he fails to get food an 0 Is made on
the gate. by these signs other mem-
ber are directed; aud the 0 is under
stood to mean that memlers may IL
their necessities require it, use force or
fiaud to make the stingy man "come
down." His cornfeh or chicken
roost is not sacred to the fraternity,
nor is hi grub pile" il they can

Good opportunity for mental speeu-
lsiion is offered by the following; "ln
Mr.. Boneyis ship building yard the
other day an oak was being sawed up
when the teeth Of the circular saw
came in contact with some hard sub
stance, which completely reversed the
process. the teeth being shorn off,
while the tree remained untouched.
An examination was made, when il
was found that horseshoe was i'm
bedded in the tree, and no point less
than two inches from the surface.
How it came there is, of course, a
mystery" Probably the horse put
his foot in it.

The undersigned. having purchased Of the Paten-
tee the exclusive right in this Hive for nearly all
Of the counties OF Kentucky, nov offer 10 supply
persons with Farm and County Rights and with
the privilege 10 make the same. The honey sea-
son is rapidly approaching. March is the time to
examine your bees, to see that they have enough
honey to last them until the flowers come, to
see that they have not too much. If.too much, the
bees have -; room enough to raise their broad
from the fact that there is too much honey and
part should b, ;aken out with honey slinger, and
the comb replaced, or other empty comb put In It,
place TO receive new brood.
We claim and can show that In i've minutes, any
one can ariScia1y swarm or divide a colony In this
Hive.
II has been before the public seven years, and
has been te@.-i by thousands, aud in no instance
has Il ied to give the highest satisfaction to the
bee-keeper. Those who have tried II will use no
other, Practical bee-keepen pronounce Il superb
or to all others combined, and even a novice In bee-
keeping finds II pleasant and profitable to raise
bees and secure honey with the Tennessee Hive.

Girls is the only folks that has their

one girl can he like several thousand
other girls IL she wants to do anything.
Girls is alike one way, they are all
like cats. Ifyou rub 'em the right
way Of their hair they'll purr and look
sweet at you, but il you rub it the
wrong way or step on their tails,
they'll claw you. So long As you let
a girl have her own way shes nice and
sweet. but just cross her and she'll spit
at you worse nor cat. Girls is also
like mules. Ifa girl don't want to be-
lievc any thing you cant make her.
IL she knows its so she won't say 80.
Brother George says he doesn't like
big girls, but he does like little ones,
and when saw him kissing Jennie
