Writing before the panic caused by
the failure Of the City of Glasgow Bank,
but with a tolerable clear appreciation
of the cause which, more than all others,
led to the, great disaster. the London
Telegraph remarked that something
had gons wrong with silver" and that
certain political economists insisted that
this metal had fallen in value becauss it
is becoming too plentiful. The Telegraph
doubts this. It asks:
"But what are the signs that silver has
declined in value? Is he who wants to
exchange his somewhat laden-hued
electroplate for solid metal, more able to
crafty his wishes now than he was
twenty years ago? Is the silver teapot.

any cheaper than in the days when lac
uuer and plating were unknown? Does
the form not 60 just as for as it did
three years since, or is the little shoe.
black less eager to welcome sixpenny
bit because the bullion brokers' circulars
tell him him that bars have "reoeded'
from SD. per ounce to 51Md.? His SIX
pence does not "recede," and II his
market is "stagnant." it is owing to the
absence. not the plethora. Of supplies.
Manifestly, to the superficial view OF the
ordinary consumer, silver might be as
high in price as 1t was during the Ameri-
can cival war without his being in any
respect the worse, The s1chanReable
value Of metal, however has certainly
sunk considerably, and nations or indi-
viduals who have to convert their silver
coinage into gold or their property meas.
ured by silver standard into gold
value must lose, and have lost, greatly:
India is a striking example of this, and
as it has lately become more and more q
debtor of England, the loss accruing to
it by the discharge Of those debts IS
very serious.

A LUDICROUs ACCIDENT.

Yesterday afternoon a certain we'll known
young man was walking down Nevada street,
meditating upon the vicissitudes Of the stock
market, when he was abruptly aroused from
his reveries by feeling something lifting him
from terra frma rather violently, and in a
like manner prostrating him in the dust. The
motive power was an immense Newfoundland
dog, pursued by another large and belligerent
canine, who in the flight from mis- pursuer got
between the pedestrians legs and made the
latter lose his equilibrium. There were no
bones broken, but the young man nearly dls-
located his own jaw by hurting anathemas at
all dogs, irrespective of size or age. If We
mistake not, a similar accident befell this
same young man about five years ago. In
that instance the motive power was tame
sheep. He was accompanying young lady
of this city home, carrying paper OF eggs
for her, when tame sheep, which was loung-
ing about the street where the couple we're
walking, was frightened by dog, ran against
the underpinnings OF the gentleman, and in
an ungentle manner placed him upon the eggs
which he was a moment before carrying in
mis- hands The situation was trying one,
as our readers can we'll imagine. We forget
now whether the young man went after a
fresh supply Of eggs or not. We rather think
absent minded about that time.

Postmaster Day, Of this city, for
warded to the department at WASH
ington, on the 22d Of November, a
design Tor a new postal card, which
has since been recommended by the
committee Of the House of Represents
atives, and is likely to be adopted.
The proposed card is somewhat larger
than the ordinary "postal,' and on one
side contains the address and message,
and on the reverse side the return ad.
dress, and below it the answer. Each
side Is intended to be of different COL
or, and each will bear the impress of a
one cent postage stamp. The plan is
to erase the address and message on
receiving the card, and after writing
the return address and answer on the
reverse side, to forward the same as if
1t were an original Of tie common
kind Its advantages are apparent in
several respects, and it is to be hoped
the idea, or similar one, will shortly
be adopted and brought into every
day use. u

Senator HOultODIn]ll.

From tho St. Cloud Times. y
During the political campaign last
fall, we copied from the Elk River
News an article which reflected very
severely upon Mr.. w. H. Houlton, Of
ElkRiver, at that time the Republican
candidate for Senator in the Both Dis
trict. We had never met Mr.. H.,
knew nothing at all about him, and, as
our symphathies were naturally on the
side of his Democratic competitor, we
copied the article alluded to, believing
that no journal would publish such
statements without some foundation
for them. MIR. Houlton was elected,
and, during the session Of the Leg,sla>
ture just closed, wc became intimately
acquainted with him. We found him
to be pleasant, agreeable and hon.
orable gentleman in every sense of the
word, As Senator, he was in
telligcnt, straight forward and con-
scientious in the discharge Of his
legislative duties, and was highly
esteemed and respected by his
associates Of both political par
ties. We are free to say that our ae>
qua'ntance with Senator Houlton has
Convinced US that not a word of truth
was contained in the scurrilous article
copied from the News, and we now
desire to make what reparation we can
for its appearance in our columns.
We will add in conclusion that if the
Both district Is to be represented by a
Republican no more able or faithful
servant can be selected than Senator
Houlton.,
