Secretary Sherman in recent
speech at Cumberland, Md, in treat
ing Of the matter of resumption, "in
gold and silver" as required by law,
says:
s'The bullion in the two coins is of un-
equal value, the silver in the dollar being
worth, in gold, only 50 cents. II the
market value of these metals was at or
about the relative value fixed by law for
their coinage, resumption In Dotn me
tails would be much easier than IN either
It would be very easy to resume IN silver
dollars alone, but it is resumption In gold
coin, as we'll as silver, that is PROVIDED
for by law as we'll as by public policy:
The coinage of 81, 900, 900 monthly OF
silver dollars of full legal tender is dis
turbing element which we cannot now
compute. We can only hope that, be-
fore ita issues is greatly increased. Con
gress will either limit its amount or
make it contain enough silver TO Oe
equal in value to gold.
just SO. There is only one Of two
things to be done. One is to stop
(,ot Hmit) the coinage Of silver, or
else make the silver dollar equal IN
value to gold. The present silver
dollar is fraud upon Its face. That
kind of resumption" which provides
that we shall accept 85 cents in sill

note worth SO 6-1O cents in gold, is
lust about as contemplate a petty
larceny as can be imagined-even if
IL is perpetrated under the forms OF
law.

Mr.. Stephens, Pugnaeitx.

New York Times: Those who have
seen Alexander H. Stephens, and
marveled at the atom he is, would
not be likely to think of him as a
combataut, since he appeared, poor
man, to need much more than the
little strength he has to fight against
death, ever threatening him. Never
theless he is and always has been
testy and pugnacious when his mo-
tives have been impuged or his hon.
or questioned. and it is no fault of
his that he had not repeatedly taken
part in duels. He has challenged
Herschel v. johnson, Ben. III. Hill,
and other politicians, but they de.
clined to accept his challenge, though
avowedly adherents to the code,
thinking it preposterous, no doubt,
to GO out with the little invalid. One
might as we'll shoot at the edge of a
razor as at the attenuated hgure Of
the distinguished Georgian. During
a heated campaign in his native
State (1846). he had an alteration
with Judge Cone. prominent South
ern politician, and nearly lost his
life. The Judge. meeting him at a
hotel in Atlanta, called him trai
tor, and Stephens, who was unarmed
struck his insulter across the face
with a small cane. Cone, in a rage,
drew dirk knife, and attempted to
stab him to the heart. Although
large and muscular, his punny oppo.
nent prevented the deadly thrust,
but received eighteen or twenty
wounds on different parts of his
body. Finally. Cone drew the plucky
little fellow down, and forcing his
head back on the floor with his left
hand, as though he had been a child.
he held the knife before his eyes,
crying, "Apologize, or I'll cut your
throat" The laconic reply was,
Never. Cut away" The blade was
descending. when Stephens caught
and arrested 1t. nearly severing his
hand in the effort. Both men in the
struggle got to their feet again. and
were continuing the one.sided com.
bat, when common friends interfered
and so parted them. Stephens
wounds, fortunately. were dressed at
once. Had there been any delay,
be would have bled to death from
cutting OF an intercostal artery.
This is a good example for his in
domitable courage. His suffering,
shrunken form contains a
big soul. Stephens refused to ap-
pear against the Judge on his trial,
aud their aimable relations were in
timately restored, the Judge having,
after the Southern fashion, bitterly
the painful occurrence.

Twice already had the marriage

Twice already had the marriage of a
young doctor and rich Belle of Mount
Sterling, H., been postponed, when the
cards were issued for u grand wedding
party last week. The feast was set, the
guests were met, but no bridegroom was
there. The young lady went out to seek
him, and found him in his room, dead
drunk Going to the railroad station
she took the first train that passed, gave
the conductor a ring to pay her fare, left
the cars at MacOmb, and was only found
next day by her father and the sober
and repentant lover. He was anxious to
marry her at once, but she refused ever
to speak to him again.

Life for the Gar.

The house of Romanoff. which has
filed so large place in European
history, narrowly escaped. extinction
in the very year OF its rise. owing
its safety entirely TO one of the very
peasants whom it has so often per
secuted. After the expulsion from
Moscow, in 1912, of the Polish usur.
per Vladislay, it became necessary
to elect new Gear, the line of Ruric
having ended with Feodor Iyanovitch
the son of Ivan the Terrible: The
choice fell upon q Russian noble
named Michael Feodorovitch Romo-
nof, who was then at YaroslaVl, in
North Russia. with few attendants.
The Polish King, hearing of this,
sent band Of men to surprise him
On their way thither they halted at
the cottage OF a peasant named Ivan
Susanin. giving themselves out as
foreign soldiers on their way to take
service with the new Gear. But, as
one of them dismounted. he happen
ed to stumble, and in his rage utter:
ed Polish oath, which Susanin's
quick ear overheard. The peasant
instantly OWNED their purpose. but
could find no better way OF battling
it than to offer himself as their guide,
while he secretly dispatched one OF
his sons to warn the Car Of the
meditated treachery. Then guiding
the traitors into gloomy defile of
which be alone knew the outlet, he
boldly ayowed what he had done,
and fell beneath their swords, defy
ing them to the last. This heroic
self-sacrifice was not made in vain.
The timely warning enabled the Gear
to overtake and destroy his intended
and Sussnin's devotion
was rewarded with the permanent
exemption of his family from taxa
ton and the erection of statue to
his memory. This statue is still to
be seen in his native town of Kostro-
ma, which, by singular coincidence.
was also the birthplace of the pea

most popular of Russian operas,

What a Fly Did.

A Carthage Qll.) journal furnishes
the following: Mr.. James Howard.
of Walker, married an interesting
young lady named Symonds, about
a year ago, and they lived costly and
happy together ever since. But the
other morning, at breakfast, an in
quisitive and hungry fly dropped
down from his perch on the ceiling,
and, stretching his legs, began skir-
mishing around for his breakfast.
He crawled slowly around Mr.. How
ards coffee cup once or twice, sniff
ing the delicious aroma, and wonder
ing how he could manage to get
drink, when his foot slipped, he lost
his grip, and in a moment more was
tounderiug around in the liquid.
His strugglings attracted the atten-
tion of James. and he pulled him out
and playfully tossed him across the
table. The unfortunate fly aligbted
in a wet and bedraggled condition
on Mrs. HIS plate. She indignant
ly grabbed him and flung him back
into her husbands plate. James
gazed steadily at her a moment, and
seeing blood In her eyes, deliberate
ly picked up the fly, and with sup
pressed rage, threw it back on her
plate. Then began game of regu-
lar shuttlecock between the two, and
that fly few back and forth until he
was completely worn out. Then the
young wife burst into tears. seized
her bonnet, and rushed from the
house to the residence other parents.

father of the much abused wife came
over with team and removed all her
baggage, and now they "meet as
friends no MORE" They have sep.
arated for good, and thus two lives
are rendered miserable by the sim
pie misstep OF fly. On such small
things do our destinies depend.

a. T. STEWARRT'S BODY STOLEN
: FROM THE EMILY -YAHLT

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Judge Hilton
rushed into police headquarters this
morning greatly excited and held CON
sultation with Inspector Dilkes. He sta
ted that the body of A T. Stewart was
missing from its resting place in the
family vault in st. Mary's church-yard,
Stnyvssant Place and I'd Avenue. The
vault, he said, had been broken open
and the casket found in the vault, but
the body was missing. Inspector Dilkes
at once sent out the following general
orders to all the precincts t'The re-
mains of A.. T., Stewart were lost last
night, stolen from the family vault in
st. Mary's church-yard. The casket was
found broken ane the body removed.
The decomposition of the remains is SO
offensive that they cannot be concealed.
This is apparent from standing at the
opening of the vault this morning, con-
sequently it cannot be taken across the
ferries without discovery. Csuse dill
gent search to be made in your precinct,
as the remains are, evidently stolen in
hope of reward. .s

Russian journals urge the Czar to aid
the Ameer of Afghanistan with arms,
men and money. If England wants to
measure strength with Russia, she now
has suitable pretext. TIE feeling of
bitterness between the two countries
continues to grow. Russia gives every
evidence of an anxiety to try the strength
of the English Government. She re-
fuses to withdraw her troops from neu-
raj terr itory, and docs not seem to be
at all governed by the Treaty of Berlin.
The English journals are very angry,
and advise the Government to see that
the late treaty is faithfully carried out.

The More Farmers, the Better
Times.

The idea that more farmers will
still more depress the market for
produce by over-production is the
subject Of note by the American
Agriculturist. 1t says: "The unex.
ampied increase in the current Of
emigration westward at the present
season, is remarkable. A fair idea
of the extent of the movement may
be gathered from q statement Of the
sales Of lands by land grant railroads
during the first months 1873, com.
pared with those for the correspond
ing period of 1877. Last year the
sales from January to May 1 we're

in value nearly $2.O00.OoO. This in
crease is 354 times. In this are not
included the vast number of home
steads Of presumption entries along
the routes of these roads. which sur
pass in number the settlements upon
purchased lands. The emigration
consists in great part of mechanics
and laboringmen who have to i'm
prove their circumstances by working
for themselves instead Of for others,
and of business men, who have sue
cumbed to the pressure Of too many
men in trade. 1t is not to be feared
that the great increase in production
will injuriously affect the interest of
farmers elsewhere. Every carload
of produce grown in the West, or
elsewhere, in fact, gives work for
many hands in transporting and
it creates also a
market for tools, clothes, stock and
other necessities. which, in the ag-
gregate, makes employment for thou
sands. Thus. general industry is
excited, and the increased product
is needed to feed those whose labor
is required to dispose Of it at home,
as well as for enlargiug foreign mar

at a certain conference meeting the
Rev. DIR. Blank was good deal pester-
ed by jealous brother who was very
much edited by his own exhortations,
and it was often deemed necessary to
"head him off," by calling on somebody
else to pray or speak just as he was
about to begin. On one occasion, as he
rose to speak, the pastor gently inter
rupted him by saying, Brother, will
you lead us in prayer" The brother
hesitated but moment, and made an
swer: 81 was about to offer a few re-
marks, but perhapsI can throw them in
to the form of a prayer"

How to Get on in the World.

The Boston Transcript gives this
advice to young men who are trying
to get ahead : Never complain that
your employers are selfish. Not that
they are otherwise, but it will help
matters to growl about it. They are
selfish. Their employers. when they
were young, were no doubt selfish,
and from this they learned the les
son. You, too, will learn it. and
when you become employers you'll
be selfish, too. It is from selfish
motives that men engage in trade,
and selfishness rules their actions.
OF course it would be better and
wiser, and all that, if they were not
selfish, but they are. Now, what
are you going to do about it? Why,
make it for their selfish interest to
do better by you. and they will. Re-
spect yourselves and you'll make
them respect you. Remember that
you are at a disadvantage; that
there arc q hundred ready to climb
into your place il you do not ill it,
aHd that those who employ you are
fully aware of the fact and ready to
make the most they can Of it. Re-
member that il you are getting 81
600 this year and want $1,000 next
year. you've got to earn 81 500 this
year. You've got TO pay for promo
tion, often an exorbitant price, and
as you have no other means to pay
with you've got to pay in work. OF
course it's unjust, of course il seems
hard that your employer should keep
and spend money that you have just.
ly earned, but, Causeur's word for
it, it won't pay to fret or growl about |
it. Never be satisfied with having
learned your money" Earn more
than your money, and then. in a
manly. straightforward, business
like way, ask for more pay. Ten
chances to one you'll get it. If you
don't look about, and as soon as
you've found a better place, dis.
charge your employer. The hard |
work you have done, the record of |
it, and the reputation you will have
established for hard work, will make |
the task Of finding new employment
comparatively easy. Your capacity
for work is your only capital. In
vest heavily and you are sure to
win -r~.

Returns from the late Congress

plete to warrant an accurate state
ment of the membership and polite.
al complexion of the next House OF
Representatives. In the estimate
we give two districts in Wisconsin
and one in Kansas which are yet
doubtful, and in which our chances
are as good as those Of the Radi.
cals-Messrs. De La Matyr, Of In.
diana, Ladd, of Maine, and Lowe, of
Alabama, are put in the Democratic
column-for the reason that all three
are directly or indirectly pledged to
act with US, and two of them, at
least. will go into the Democratic
caucus. Congressman Murch, of
Maine, who is set down as a Green
backer, it is we'll known, will act
with the Democrats on all important
questions, party or otherwise. From
these figures we ascertain the abso-
lutte Democratic majority, over all
opposition, to be seventeen. It is
barely possible that this may be re-
duced By subsequent intelligence, to
fifteen or twelve. and it is quite prob
able that it will be increased to twen-
ty-one. California is left out of this
calculation entirely, as she does not
elect until next year. There is one
vacancy in New York.
