SoLoN CHASE has been nominated for
Congress by the Greenbackers. Mr.. Chase
is the man who declared in 1871 that "specie
payments is the one thing needful in our
present condition, and will cure us of many
financial ills. The moment you .have got
specie payments, Pendleton's and Buffers
theory of paying the bonds in greenbacks,
which means neither more nor less than more
and meaner money, becomes obsolete. If
Congress in its blunderings did not agree to
pay the principal of the bonds in gold, it
ought to have agreed to, and specie pay
ments will make that agreement what it
ought to be. The wit of man cannot devise
any scheme that will bring about specie pay.

gold; that is, let somebody else have some
good money besides the bondholders."

The man who doesn't believe that
there is an electric current passing be-
tween the minds OF human beings should
have been at the West Philadelphia de-
pot last evening when a train went out
just forty seconds ahead of man who
had planned to be In New York this
morning. He ran down the depot. yell
ling and gesticulating, but he could
neither stop the train nor overtake it.
When he stopped he was close beside a
bootblack, who had witnessed the whole
performance, and with grin clear
around to his ears, the boy observed;
"No, it can't, for Beecher says there's
no such PLACED"
The stranger looked at him for about
minute, and then handed him quarter
and turned away. Now, if there is not
q mental electric current, how did that
boy know what that man was thinking
of?
