We have not doubt that men who
are influenced by mania to debase the
coinage will venture upon SO reckless
revolutionary policy. But these men
do not know Ruthford 3. Hayes. He
is as immovable as q rock when he is
conscious that he is right, and therefore
we believe he would not falter, even If
the government should be cut off from
its appropriations, when called upon to
sanction the making of 4121 grains of
silver as good as gold dollar in paying
the interest upon the national debt. As
true man, he understands the priceless
value of honor and faith to our country,
which for ninety years has preserved a
credit SO stainless and SO noble that
though a young nation, it to day borrows
money at lower rate of interest-which
implies the worlds confidence-than
any other government upon the earth
excet one. The president of this great
republic will not cast aside SO priceless
q heritage, and which has been handed
down to rs by the teachings and the ex-
ample of such illustrions patriots as

THERE is an effort developing to re-
duce the letter postage to two cents.
One bright and shining light proposes
to charge one cent on any letter circu-
lating within the county i'll which it is
mailed; two cents on letters destined to
points within the State, and three cents
for all others. While there are many
who cannot see the justice in charging
as much for transporting letter two or
three miles as for sending it as many
thousand, if thay will give the subject a
moments reflection, they will see the
impractibility of grading postage accord
ing to the distance. The cause of this
agitation is the fact that the postal de-
partnent loses to the government over
five million dollars per annum. If the
expenses of this department would be
reduced, let its officers cease making
criminal contracts with ''star" steamship
lines; reduce thousands of salaries and
curtail the pay of contractors on certain
''routes", which make them suddenly
rich. Let all mail which goes by water
routes be sent as freight-it vii, go just
as quickly and in many instances at
one-hundredth part of the price paid for
Email steamship service. - Without
changing the rates of postage, the postal
service of the United States can be
made self-supporting.

A PORTSMOUTH man was going East
with his wife last week, and the train
started off very suddenly while he was
talking with bis friends. He grabbed
hold of woman, chucked her on the
train, jumped after her, and away they
went, fifty miles an hour, with his wife
shrieking and tearing her hair on the
platform, and a woman he never saw
before going into high pressure hyster-
les in the car, calling him monster,
and yelling "save mel By terrible
mistake he had got hold of the wrong
woman, and the conductor, refusing to
listen to his explanations, kicked him
out of the car, the brakeman chucked
him into the ditch, the Sheriff met him
before he was halfway back to town
and put handouts on him; and, when
ut last he got home, he saw his business

TaE invention of glass printing-type,
recently noticed in Ties. columns as
having been patented in France, bids
fair to be AN important one. Besides
being as durable as the type now in use
It has been found that they eau be cast
in more delicate shapes, so that the diff
ference between the thick and the thin
strokes can be more clearly defined.
Finally, it is found that the new types
can be east in exactly the same mods as
the old. and that there need be no ex-
pense incurred in altering the machinery

ture.
