comp osition." Touching the idea itself,
it may be noted that there is in it a
fundamental error, or, rather a cOun-
teracting element, which soon checks
the increase of ancestors, then neutral
ICES it, and finally diminishes it. This
cause is the "brother and sister" ele-
ment. 1t is soon found that in tracing
up ancestors, for example, two men and
woman, who ought in the preceding
generation to have six parents, being
brothers and sisters, have only two.
Hence, every mans pedigree, if it could
be fairly traced out, would be repre-
sented as double conceive cones.
Joined at their basis, the apex of the
one being himself, the apex of the 9TH

such family tree would be an ellipsis.

We're Not There.

The Shylock papers state that there
were no fnanciers at the great mass
meeting Of citizens who favor the re-
monetization Of silver at the Taberna-
Gle, an account of which is given in
another column We must confess
that there was q notable absence of ten
and fifteen per centers, of bondholders
and Eastern mortgages. It was not
a good atmosphere for such people.
No sensible man would have expected
them to be there. They would have
| felt in that meeting good deal like a
lculprit at an execution. But it can be
safely alleged that none of those classes
who happened to be in the city that
night went to bed until they had
heard all about the proceedings, and
used language concerning them that
would not sound we'll in cultured So
ciety. ii was not the men who lend
money who composed that meeting,
but the men who are engaged in legit-
innate, productive business, and who
are both selfish enough and generous
enough to object to the grasping, heart
less Shylock being the only man in all
the nation who is able to do a pros
porous business.
It is also alleged in some of our city
Journals that the meeting was COM
posed of men who had failed in bust
ness, land it is inferentially claimed
that snch men have no right to make
either demands or suggestions with
reference to finances. While it is not
true that the meeting was composed of
any such material, suppose that it was.
/ Why haven't such men or any class of
men. the right to make any demand on
our legislators which they may think
is for their own or the public good? Is
the victim Of the bite of the snake to
be forbidden to kill the snake? If our
business men have had their substance
CONSUMED by a fallacious system OF
legislation and finance, is there any
principle of justice that will deny them
the right to remedy the system? It is
simply another way of expressing the

The Assets of the Oonfederacy.

Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press.
WASHINGTON, December 23. = The
revival of measures to recover from
the Bank Of England the unexpended
balances on the credits to the late Con-
federacy on account of cotton has not
been successful. Solicitor Raynor, some
time since, called the attention of Sec
rotary Sherman to the existence of
these assets, and urged that steps be
taken to recover them to the United
States, it being the legal successor to
the COnfederacy. The Secretary, SEN
Sible Of the delicacy of the subject, re-
ferreo it to the Secretary Of State and
to the Assistant Secretary Of the Treas

adverse report, On the ground that it.
would open many delicate questions
that this Government was not anxious
to enter into. The Secretary of State
himself objected, for the reason that he
was not willing to ask any favors of

suits in their courts. It was also re-
membered that in the inquiries insti-
tuted by the Administration of Presi-
dent Grant, through it's agents, Caleb
Gushing, Judge Redfern and Judge
Titus, who were sent there at different
times, the British Government express
ed itself perfectly willing to recognize
the United States as the executor Of
the defunct Confederacy, and to turn
aver its assets, provided the United
Estates were willing ioasissume It's liza
bilities to British subjects. Assistant
Secretary French, in an exhaustive
opinion, also reported adversely, con-
| Guiding that in view of the attitude of
the British Government on the cues
ton, it would be a useless expense to
prosecute the claims. This may be re-
garded as the end of this question. The
amount Of these assets is estimated at
i$1O,0OO,OOO.

answer inspired the Bishop with conf
dence, and he then said, after giving
his name and address: 81 want YOU to
so to certain place and get bundle
for me, and bring it to my hotel. There
will be a charge Of $8; here is the
money to pay it, and half a dollar
which you will keep for doing the Ell
rand" On his return to the hotel. the
Bishops friends laughed at him for
his cTedulity, telling him that he would
never see the boy or the bundle or the
money again, but in half an hour the
young chap returned, bringing the bun
die and receipted bill for $3.50, the
Bishop having made a slight mistake
as to the amount that was due. Glow
did you manage to pay the extra half
dollar?" he inquired. 81 took the
money you gave me for the job. I

Exclusiveness.

No man (unless he be himself sex
clusive'') can possibly be deceived by
the notion that it requires a person of
brains to be exclusive. A pig may be,
and, if my observation is trustWorth-
thy, generally, is exclusive. Exclusive
ness is, indeed, q sure sign of piggish-
ness. People can be piggish in various
ways, negatively as we'll as positively
Even VIXEN person is not a pig in the
commonly-accepted sense, you will find
the piggish element in his character in
some form if you hunt long enough.
If the exclusive pig does not show him
self by trying to keep the whole of q
car seat, he can just as well show him
self by refusing to have anything to
say to anybody out of his "set." If he
do not eat more than anybody else, he,
can, nevertheless, reveal his presence
by driving past every traveller on the
road without asking him to ride with
him, OF by keeping all his books and
newspapers to himself, or by refusing
to join any good movement in the com
munity. Because pigs do not precisely
these things, you have no reason to say
that the spirit of their doing is not
piggish. AS pig, then, the exclusive
person may be accurately pictured; or
in the truer sense, he may so picture
himse f.-E. r. Champlin.

RUM AT THE CAPITAL.

The Vice President and Speaker OF
the House of Representative are max
ing an honest endeavor to enforce the
rule against keeping intoxicating
liquors in the Capital building. This
is good as far as it goes, but it does not
go far enough. Washington should be
freed from the influences of rum shops.
The Capital of the Nation should be
purged. The demand should be made
in the name of the Constitution, of vir-
tue and humanity-that all intoxicat-
ing liquors should be banished from
the Capital-that a Prohibitory law
should be passed by Congress, with suf-
ficient provisions to enforce it, and
thus exclude from the District of Co
lumbia the manufacture, sale or use of
intoxicating beverages. To this it must
ultimately come. The sooner the bet
ter. That portion of the Nation who
do send sober Senators and Represent
atives to Congress, will demand that,
if other portions will not follow their
example, such law as Will prevent
the disgraceful scenes SO frequently ex-
hibited by drunkards and roWdies-
legally called Senators and Represent

many Of them-ought to labor for these
results. Under that clause of the Con-
stitution which says: each House
may determine the rules of its proceed

beha0aor, and with the concurrence of
tWo-thirds, expel a member every
Senator or Representative who gets
drunk should be expelled telling
those who elect drunkards to office that
they cannot serve in Congress. The
Constitution gives this power-for sure
ly drunkenness is ''disorderzy behavior
and constitutions are for the protec-
ton and benefit of the minority. Ma
jorities need no constitutions to tell
them what to do, but minorities can use
the constitution to demand justice. It'll

the minority Admit it; and yet we
demand of Congress that it 'soataaish"

Curious Calculation.

A very ingenious speculation was
published about half a century ago as
to the number of mans ancestors. It
was said that as every man must have
two parents, four grandparents, eight
great-grandparents, and so on, it might
fairly be assumed Of any given man
that the number Of his direct ances-
tors, if living at the time of the Con-
quest, might mount to upward of s.
100000, presuming that the number
doubled about thrice in each century
There are several curious sequences Of
this idea, which are given by Sir Rich
ard Phillips, in Morning Walk from
London to Kew" Gray, according to
Walpole, in 1949, had computed that
"there must be million Of ancestors
in twenty generations to eyerybody's

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
The birth of a new potato is thus

The birth of a new potato is thus re-
lated by the Rochester Union: "David
S. Almstead, Superintendent Of Mount
Hope Reservoir, last Summer planted
a row Of peachbloWs, and on eacn side
Of it row Of early rose, but when he
dug the middle row he found heather
peachblow nor early rose, but an appa-
rent cross between them. The product
was a potato resembling the early rose
in shape, but of the peachblow color,
with pink eyes. The yield was far bet
ter than either rose or peachblow, and
the quality was excellent. They were
planted in sandy SOIL"
There are a few general rules which
should be we'll understood, and which
if Understandings applied, will enable
those who raise their own vegetables
to keep them in good condition in
nearly all instances much longer than
is often done. These rules are:
1. To keep them cool without freez-
ing and without alternating changes of
temperature.
2. If they dry up and shrivel Cas-
beets and parsnips), apply by external
means a certain amount of moisture.
3. If they do not shrivel but rot Gas
potatoes and squashes) let the air
which surrounds them be dry and
cool.
These rules may be easily and read
lily applied in various cases. Potatoes,
for example, dry very slowly, but are
liable to rot, and they may therefore
| be subjected to moderate currents OF
air in cool place. Light should be
kept out to prevent their becoming
green and bitter. If rot attacks them,
it may be checked by repeatedly dash
ing on cold water, which makes them
clean, and by evaporation which cools
them. IF on q lattice bottom, both
drainage and the admission of air will
be effected. Turnips, beets and pars-
nips, unlike potatoes, dry up soon if ex-
posed to air. When intended 10.

many changes made in competing ma

any degree of success are those which were

DROWNED IN THE SUKF.-TuJoro, n. c.,
May 2O.--Late yesterday evening Miss
Melissa Smith, daughter of Mr.. William
Smith, of Hatteras Island, Dare county,
was drowned from the new lighthouse,
which is surrounded by water. Miss Smith
was on the point of retiring and had
thrown open her door to get the sea breeze.
As she lifted the pillow from her bed it fell
from her hand and rolled into the stairway,
the slide being drawn, and in attempting
to pick it up she slipped and fell, her head
striking the iron steps. She fell into the
water, gave three piercing screams, and
was carried out by the surf just as her
father came to the door. She was beauti-
full girl, the belle of Dare county, and
known as the lighthouse keepers pretty
daughter. She was to have been married
on Wednesday, and had parted with her
betrothed only half an hour before her
death.
