An American AuthOress to Marry an
English Lord

The Rome correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Bulletin writes : n Before all
other matters I must mention piece OF
news which will be interesting to your
readers. Amongst the American society
of Rome at present there is young
American lady of twenty-five years of
age whose name is Miss Fletcher. 1t is
no sin to write her name in full, because
Miss Fletcher is somewhat of a public
character, having written a book which
has met with success and insured for It's
authoress an honorable place IN present
literature. She had, therefore, a pleas
ant and productive career before her. L
say had, because it has pleased an Eng
lish nobleman, Lord Wentworth, to in
terrupt that career and to offer, instead
of a laurel crown, a more substantial one
in the shapeo a countess corOnet, which
Miss Fletcher has wisely accepted, to-
gether with the heart and hand of the
noble lord. So little Miss Fletcher, as
she was called last winter, becomes next
month an English peeress, and those who
care for rank and titles well know that
an English peeress, in the aristoeracy of
Europe, ranks above an Italian,princess,
or a German baroness, or French duch-
ess. Here is, then, our little Miss
Fletcher at the head, not only of Roman
society but of European society in gen
eral. "And she isn't bit prettyI" ex-
claim the enyious. ''No. But she is q
bright, sparkling girl-and that is bet
ter" say the gentlemen. After all, they
are the best Judges of the good points il
the fair sex. l can state, however, thai
Miss Fletcher, if not quite as beautifu
as most American women (who came
over here to astonish our eyes,, hai
lovely golden hair, and this alone would
be a great charm, even if she had M
other. The marriage willbe celebrated
at the British Embassy. Good luck tC

Bloated BondhOlders.

One of the most common charges of the soft
money leaders is that the resumption legisla-
ton of the country has increased the price of
bonds and diminished the price of Steers,
etc. Many men swallow such shallow appeals
as these without thinking whether they have
any basis of fact Or reason. They seem to forget
That U. S. $40 six per cent bonds were worth
120 when the resumption bill was passed, and
that when resumption was accomplished they
were worth only para fact which upsets the
basis on which the 'steer" appeal stands. All
that the government has done relative to its
bond promises, it has done for its greenback
promises, viz, to redeem its pledges. But as a
matter of fact this redemption of its pledge
has not benefited bond-holders, but the whole
people; inasmuch as it has so improved the
credit of the government as to enable it to bor-
row money at per cent. where previously it
paid six per cent. AS to the effect of bringing
up the Greenback dollar to 100 cents, on the
price of "steers" and everything else, it is not
for greenback leaders who declare themselves
gold, to complain. 1t is inevitable that an in
crease of the value of the greenback dollar in
which prices are measured, would correspond
ingly reduce the apparent but not exchange
able price of everything-the articles which we
want to sell. No man can find fault with that
unless he takes the ground that the-greenback
ought to have been kept deprecated. But the
real fall of prices in STEERS" pork and butter,
that comes from the largely increased Western
supplies brought East at low rates. the rise in
wool and potatoes that comes from an increased
demand and the ravages of the potato bug, are
due to operations OF the law of supply and de-
mand and not to financial legislation.

The Weather as Pain Producer.

1t is familiar experience that certain bodi-
ly pains vary according to the weather. A se-
ries OF observations on this subject, made with
much ability and perseverance, has lately been
reported to the American Academy of Sciences
by Professor Mitchell They are by Captain
Catlin of the United States Army, who lost
leg during the war, and since that time has
suffered great deal from traumatic neuralgia
He carefully noted, during five years, the ef-
fects produced on him by changes in the wealth
er. For the first quarters of these five years
there were 2,470 hours of pain, for the second
quarters 2,100 hours, for the third quarters, D.
056 hours, and for the last quarters 1921 hours.
The best ''yield of pain" is in January, Feb
ruary and March, and the poorest in the third
quarter, July, August and September. Dur
ing these five years, while the sun was south
of the equator, there were 1862 hours of pain
against 4, 1853 hours while it was north of the
equator. The average duration of the attacks
for the first quarters was % hours, and for the
third quarters only 17.9 9hours. Taking the four
years ending January 1, 1879, it is found that
of the 537 storms charted by the Signal Bureau,
29S belong to the two quarters, against 239 for
the summer quarters. Hence we have the ra-
ito of the number of storms of the winter and
summer quarters corresponding to the ratio of
the amount of neuralgia for these respective
periods; and the ratio of the average duration
of each attack for the same time corresponds
closely with the ratio of the respective total
amount of neuralgia for the same periods. The
average distance of the storm centre at the be-
ginning of the neuralgia attacks was six hun
dred and eighty miles. Storms from the Pa
ciic coast are felt furthest off very soon after
or as they are crossing the Rocky Mountains,
while storms along the Atlantic coast are asso-
ciated with milder forms of neuralgia, which
are not felt until the storm centre is nearer
Rain is not essential in production of neuralgia
The severest neuralgia attacks of the year
were those accompanying the first SHOWS of
November and December. One other interest
ing Conservation is as follows: Every storm
sweeping across the continent consists of vast
rain area, at the centre of which is moving
space of greatest barometric depression. The
rain usually precedes this storm centre by five
hundred and fifty to six hundred miles, but
before and around the rain lies belt which
may be called the neuralgia margin of the
storm, and which precedes the rain about one
hundred and fifty miles, This fact is very de-
ceptive, because the sufferer may be on the far
edge of the storm basin of barometric depres-
sion, and seeing nothing Of the rain, yet have
pain due to the storm.

A Trap to Catch GullS.

Ii there remains any doubt on the mind of
any Democrat who believes in sound currency
and specie resumption, as a matter.of principle,
he should carefully read the suggestions and
assertions in the Portland Argus of the 18th.
He will be likely to get his eyes opened con-
cerning the use that is being made of him. In
course of an article upon the prospects of the
Greenback party, the Argus says
It is true that many Democrats who voted with
the Greenbackers last year will resume their place
under the old time-honored banner this wear, They
sympathize heartily with the movement and acted
with it last year to help it along; but seeing now
that it has strength and momentum enough to carry
it swimmngly, they will return TO be in position
for the great contest of next year.
Here is the precious confession, unblushing-
ly made, that many Democrats voted with the
Greenbacker, doubtless under instruc-
tion, not that they believed with them but
to help them along, and to make them believe
that they were increasing rapidly. Having ac-
complished the deception, "they will return.
II seems that part Of the Democratic tactics
is TO keep Jauus-faced column. to face either
way, at the word of command, and be either
hard-money men or Greenbackers rs required.
But the organizers OF the corps always careful
ly man9uvre them to aid ia their purpose of
getting into office. Hard money Democrats
will note this confession.

Some Good Lessons.

A Slippery Adversary.

When one sees the Greenback orator and
the Greenback organ repeating with the ut
most coolness tie statements which were ex-
ploded and shown to be false year ago. he
comes to the conclusion that the parties re-
ferred to are slippery adversaries. For in
stance, few days since a Greenback orator
deslared that the French Government obtained
the money to pay the German war indemnity
by giving the inhabitants of that country paper
money for the coin required, and that such a
policy had made France prosperous while ev-
cry other country was the reverse. Now every
intelligent man knows that there is not par.
ticle of truth in such statement-not even an
approach to a fact in such declaration. And
yet it is made to do duty in most Greenback
campaign speeches. 1t has been shown by the
best authority that the money to pay Germany
was obtained by the sale of interest-bearing
bonds of small denomination to people who
hoard coin because they have no savings insti-
tutions or other means of investment. 1t is a
well-known fact that the French Government
has not issued paper money for many years,
but has licensed the bank of France to do so
under certain conditions. 1t is also we'll
known fact that France brought about specie
resumption in that country after the German
war by the same plan which was adopted by
our Congress by fixing day for spe-
Gle payments and making preparations to carry
that plan into effect 1t is also worth while to
state that France was prosperous from Novem-
Ter, 1873, when the circulation of the bank OF
France was $602 100000 to December, 1875,
when it had been reduced to $404, ,903, 100
showing that contraction Of nearly one-third
of the volume of paper money did not check
the prosperity of that country.
We have only called attention to the above
because it aptly illustrates either the dishon-
esty or the ignorance of men who go about the
country preaching the fiat money heresy and
grossly misrepresenting, even to entire perver-
France. Can men who insist upon repeating
such glaring falsehoods be believed when they
assert that there are at present no indications
of better days?-Boston Journal.
