The EhglIshmen Afraid of Lee-His LaUe
Race AJ Henley,

NEWARK, N. J., July 16.-The following tel
egram was received here yesterday:
LONDON, July Is, 1878.
To Triton Boat Club:
They will not let me enter In the MetrOpoli-
tan regatta. They are afraid Of me. LEE.
The friends OF Lee have been in great doubt
about the real cause of his failure to win the
previous race with Edward Moss al Henley.
They express themselves now as satisfied that
Lee really won the race, but lost 1t through
mistaking the exact stake point, and that the
Englishmen knowing his power are shy Of
further contest with him.

The peculiar temperament Of the native
troops in British India, and the most eftica-
cious method of dealing with them, are
strikingly illustrated by story told of q
veteran English officer who is still living.
Shortly after he had assumed the command
Of the -th Native Bengal Infantry, a COm-
plant was brought to him one evening OF
theft which had just been committed in the
barracks, to the perpetrator OF which there
was not the slightest clue. The next morn
ing, on parade, the colonel passed along the
line, giving to each man, in turn, thin strip
of bamboo, and when all were supplied, sad
with solemn emphasis, my men, there IS
thief among US, and Brahma has revealed
to me how I am to detect him. Come for
ward, one by one, and give me your bamboo
chips, and the guilty man, let him do what he
may will have the longest piece" The sol
diers. not little startled at this mysterious
threat obeyed without word; bat before the
| first dozen had filed past, the colonel sud-
denly seized one of them by the throat and
| shouted: You are the manW The Hindoo

| Iaamed to the ground before the dreaded ''Sa-

senior major, VINO had been looking on in
| silent amazement, came up and said: Col

"It's a very simple one. my dear fellow" an
swered the colonel, with a smile. you see

same length, to begin with; but the thief
fearing to get the longest piece bit off tht

FIAT MONEY

John Law tried fat money more than
l50 years ago on very large scale, and
settled the question for all time. Law
was sincerely 10 earnest; moreover, he
was a practical business nan OF great
ability, as well as doctrinaire. About
100 he published an able treatise that all
property ought to be used as The basis of
currency to the great advantage of the
public. To prepare the way for this, be
argued that silver and gold were very
fluctuating in value, and that the edict of
the state was better calculated to give sta
bility to money than the amount of labor
put into the material of which money is
made. In this oracular nonsense lurked
his ruin. He urged Parliament to relieve
the prevailing distress by issuing paper
notes and lending them, taking land for
security. Thousands listened TO his spe-
clous eloquenee, but finding too small a
field at home he went to France. France
at last responded 10 ham from the depth
OF her poverty. She accepted his doctrine
that there was no standard OF prices or OF
| money aud that credit was everything.
He organized The Company OF the iudies,
based upon the scheme OF coloniziug the
East and West Indies aud North America
aud issuing money on expected profits.
