about contracting and expanding the
currency, and which do you believe in?"

circumstances. In some cases should
advocate contraction of the currency,
and in others an expansion of it. 1t is
according to the circumstances->that is,
the condition of things"
"But what is the difference between
the two, and how does circumstances
affect them? That's what 1 want to
know. Charles.
"Oh. that's easily explained" said
CHARLES. in a tone of great cheerfuluess.
For instance, when We are alone We
both sit on one chair, don't we?"
Yes"
"Well, that's contraction. But when
we hear your pa or ma coming. we get
on two chairs, don't we?'

So you see, it is according to circum-

walls, leaving small holes to
drop other earnings in. Up to
a month ago he lived alone in
his house, allowing no one to

GriHey not PrOfane.

We were mistaken in our article in
Tuesday mornings issue referring to
the doomed man, Steve Griffey, who
is sentenced to bang at Newport,
Cooke county, week from tomorrow,
for an aggravated case of rape, in that
we said that when first approached on
religious subjects he repealed it with
curses. We are informed by those
who have charge of the Jail that he
has never been heard to
utter an oath. He is naturally
of retired and respondent
disposition, and at first maintained a
stolid indifference on thesubject of his
prospects, but soon after the ministers
and others began to visit him he ap-
peared a changed man, and as far as
he was mentally capable, seemed re-
pentant. At his own request he was
given a cell by himself, where he has
been kept ever since, so that he may
be apart from the other inmates of
the Jail. A petition is now being cir
culated with the object of getting q
reprieve or his sentence committed,
on the ground of his evident mental
incapacity. Whether it will avail
anything or not we can not say.
