We read in an old book, "'Thc Voyage
OF Italy, by Richard Lasseis, Cent?, that
travelling Dakes a n1an sit still In his
old age with satisfaction, and travel ov-
er the world again In his chair aud bed.
Since these words were written great
changes liavo come over the world. II

he would open bis eyes wildcat the mod

The most remote points OF the globe
have. IN ourDwndiy, come into close con-
tact with each other Every quarter of
the formerly inaccessible, and to our
ideas, uncivilized world at large has
been brought, fguratively speaking, to
our very doors by the increased facilities
of communication. There is hardly a
country that is not girded with the iron
rail; the telegraph penetrates as well the
jungles of India, and the land OF The
Flowery Kingdom, as it connects, with
its slender cable buried deep, the
Chiet nations of the civilized world.
Travel, to those who undertake it in.
telligently, cannot be valued too highly.
1t is a great educator aud enlightener.
BY bringing to notice nations and people
with different systems of government,
and different manners and customs from
our own, it enarges the understanding
and removes at the same time many OF
the preiudices an1 self -complacent mo-
tions which the various races of man
kind are wont to Indulge in. We find
that there are other happy and prosper
Gus nations be.ide our own, each one of
which can boast of some one thing wor.
thy of being initiated, and, insensibly,
we become endued with the spirit of the
universal brotherhood of the hu man
race.
There is lasting 'p leasure to be de-
rived from travel; it furnishes one with
stock OF delightful memories which no :
thing can ever erase. Sydney Smith
says, that "a man is made happy for life
by once having taken an agreeable tour.

In reading Of the middle ages one is
struck by the accounts given OF feats Of
strength, ETC., of the HE actors OF those
times. The suits Of armor worn, would
certainly indicate the possession OF greats

by men In these latter days. What
wrought the change? Men lived In the

The Silver Bill in Congress.

That our readers may understand The
situation of the silver legislation now
pending. we annex . copy of what "
known as the Bland bill, which passed
the house OF representatives by vote o'
ls3 to ~
AN ACT 10 authorize the free coinage oi
the silver dollar, and to restore it, legal
tender character.
Be Il enacted By tie scHGte Grd house q
representatives Of tic United States o.
| America i. congress assembled, that there
shall bc coined, at the several mints OF
the United States, silver dollars OF the
weight of tour hundred and twelve and
| a half grains troy or standard silver, as
provided in the act OF January cigh.
teenth, eighteen hundred and thirty.
seven, on which shall bc the devices and
SUBSCRIPTIONS provided by said act /;
which coins, together with all silver dol
lars heretofore coined by the United
States OF like weight and nominal value,
for all debts and dues, public and private,
except where otherwise provided by con-
tract: and the owner Of silver bullion
may deposit the same at any United
States coinage mint or assay Office. TO be
coined into such dollars for his benefit,
upon the same terms and conditions as
gold bullion is deposited for coinage
under existing laws.
SEC. 2. All acts and parts OF acts In.
consistent with the provisions Of this act
are hereby repealed.
The effect OF this bin, ii made a,lsw.
win be to simply restore the silver dollar
to the place it occupied prior to February
~, 1874.
Az reported back to the Senate by the
Finance Committee. amendments were
recommended striking out the concluding
clause of the first paragraph OF the above
from the word contract" to the end,
and inserting the following clause in its
place:
"And the secretary of the treasury IL
authorized and directed, out OF any
money in the treasury not otherwise
appropriated, to purchase, from time to
time, silver bullion, at the market price
thereof, not less than two million dollars
Der month, and not more than four million
dollars per month, and cause tho same to
be coined into such dollars and any
gain or selgniorage arising from this
coinage shall be accounted for and paid
into the treasury as provided under ex.
listing laws relative to the subsidiary
coinage. Provided, that the amount OF
money at any one time Invested In such
silver bullion, exclusive OF such resulting
coin, shall not exceed five million dollars"
When the bill comes up tor consider
alton IN the senate. as it will in a short
time, the first question will be on the
adoption of these amendments. 1t is
understood, however, that before. this
bill and its amendments shall be acted
upon. the senate will pass upon Stanley
Matthews resolution, declaring that the
government bonds shall be payable in
| either gold or silver. MIR. Edmunds'
resolution, declaring that the bonds are
payable in gold, has not yet been re.
ported back from the finance committee,
| TO which 1t was referred.

A Heart Twice Won; or, Second
Love, by Mrs. Elizabeth Van Loon,
said to be Memphis lady, published
this day by 7. B. Peterson & Broth
ers, Philadelphia. Now and then a
new writer appears to take the reading
world by storm. In this category may
be placed the author of " A Heart
Twice Won" "a capital title), in
which the mystery of the plot is at
once veiled and half revealed A
most experienced critic, who has
probably read two-thirds of the novels
of the last forty years, says, :" A
Heart Twice Won must hit the pub
lie taste, and be brilliant success,
That it is by a new writer, is very
evident; it is equally obvious, from
the dolicacy and force with which the
plot has been framed and worked out
10 a legitimate conclusion, as wei as
from the development of the respec-
tive characters, that young lady is
the author. it is pure as well as pas
sionate. Moreover, the incidents
sometimes startling, are put together
in a skillful manner, and are all with.
in the legitimate limit Of probability
The scene, alternately in Virginia anC
in Europe, is always accurately real
istic-whether the action takes plac'
on a Southern estate, or amid fashion
able society in London, or (still NOR
difficult to depict in an Earl's ances
tral castle in rural England. Moth
ing can exceed the easy grace, an,
