The demand for the standard silver
dollars for circulation continues at the
rate Of about $3.50, 900 per month. AT
the present rate of coinage and sales, it
is estimated there will be about 81, 000,-

A st. Louis dispatch reports that,
instead of falling off, the negro exodus
from the southern states continues as
strong as ever, and there, is no prospect
of its stopping. An effort is being
made to inform the negroes in the soNth

that they must not expect any help in
st. Louis.
A prominent temperance reformer at
Washington proposes TO have the au-
thorities quarantine against whisky as
a greater destroyer of human life than
yellow fever. He argues that the total
deaths from yellow fever in the United
States during the past two years were
only $1,000, 1900 of whom died last
year. In the anne time, according to
a careful and and probably reasonable
computation, $4,000 men have died
from intemperance, or at the rate of
$1,000 annually.
Previous plans for ventilating the
hall of the house of representatives in
the capitol at Washington, have given
way to new methods, which, it is be-
lieved, will prove more satisfactory.
The principle is to ventilate the prem
ises by sunlight and direct exposure to
the outside atmosphere. For this pur-
pose the south side of the hall is now
being cut eway by an army of work
men. This will require the removal of
the present speakers desk and report
ers' gallery. and extend the present hall
some twenty feet to the outer wall of
the building.
A special to a morning paper says old
army officers on the Indian frontier are
apprehensive that the present move

Paw mountain. Frontier men predict

Truth-Teller is the name of a Sioux
Indian recently converted in Dakota
territory under the teachings of Bishop
Hare, of the Protestant Episcopal
church. The bishop assures an eastern
exchange that the following account of
his conversion is strictly correct:
Upon the occasion of the bishops
visit and at n of his councils with
the Indians who had gathered to hear
the great spirit-man talk, Truth Teller
who was present, suddenly arose in the
midst of the people and advanced to
the front, shook hands with the bishop,
and then, stepping back a few feet and
drawing himself up to his full height,
in a clear, ringing voice, which at once
indicated the deep earnestness and
bravery of the man, he declared his pur-
pose to abandon all Indian ways and to
adopt those of the white man-to give
up all heather rites and ceremonies and
worship only the God Of civilization,
and then, to to attest his sincerity, took
from his scalp-lock a war. eagle feather
the ensign Of bravery and of many
years OF savagery-and hanging it over
to the bishop, said: II give to you this
war-eagie feather; take it, and keep it

Now York Sixty Years Ago.
Sixty years ago a shrewd observer
landed here from England, and wrote
the inevitable description Of the town.
1t was two generations ago, yet the
moderate proportions Of the seaport
had then kindled no sense of rivalry.
Indeed, only a few years before, little
Newport, in Rhode Island, was as
commercially important. SIT is a pleas
ant, opulent and airy city, says the
good-natured observer, ''for which ma
ture has done everything and art moth
ing" The only public building worth
noticing-hear it, urban wilderness of
architectural triumps lis the City
Hall. Poor old City Hall, with its rear
of dark stone, because, according to
tradition it was supposed that the
growth of the city was not likely to
bring the rear into much observation !
The simple economy assumed in this
touching tradition casts a fairy glamor
over the municipal story. 1t suggests
n public spirit, a civic virtue, a politi-
cal conscience, which would not waste
money even upon n public work. 1t is
q beautiful legend of fable. The new
court house is now Immediately behind
the city hall-the Haunting monument
of enormous public thefts and unspeak-
able contempt for civic honesty. But
as the observer saw no splendor, she
also saw no poverty. Within cannon
shot OF the new court house, the mine
of our vulgar ~Sardanapalus, are nov
dens of a poverty and squallor and
crime as wretched and repulsive as
those of any great city; but our observ-
er found only streets Of comfortable
private dwellings in that New York of
the golden age-no dark alleys, no how
els, no dark and gloomy cellars, with
noisome atmosphere and suffering pop
ulation. Successful industry, she ex-
claims, has everywhere fixed its abode.
Before she died the observer had gained
much notoriety in the happy land and
town that she celebrated. For our OBJ
server was Miss Fanny Wright, a ia
miliar name in the angry social, politi-
cal and religious contests of forty and
fifty years ago.-[Editor's Easy Chair,

John Chinaman at North Adam.

John Chinaman at North Adams
That these Chinese do not assimilate
with our civilization is undoubtedly
true enough, nor is there anything in
the life of the community which leads
to suppose that any length of resi-
dence in this country will greatly alter
this condition. The people of North
Adams have been and are now greatly
interested in this experiment of civiliz-
ing and outstanding foreigners thus
brought among them, and the most
systematic and thorough efforts have
been made for these purposes. They
have been so far successful that a half
dozen of the Cinnamon here are reckon
ed to be Baptists, though not in full
communion, and, n has been said,
some of them have partially renounced
their national manners and customs.
But still they live apart, in their own
fashion, cook and dress their own food,
and eat, drink and employ themselves
as when in their W country. The
truth is that the agent who procured
the services of these people in Canton
(he was sent by the company for the
special purpose) secured probably the
best specimens of this nation which
ever emigrated to America, and all that
is possible in educational and civilizing
influences among the Chinese may be
found in this little colony. The churches
haye acted upon the hint, and so have
the citizens of North Adams generally,
and the houses of the latter are opened
evenings for the reception of individuals
of the Chinese, who are taught by men
and m performing the service as a
labor of love, in which they are tho
roughly interested.

OUR CHICAGO LETTER.
Hot Season-Of to Water Resorts
Theatrical Matters-The Mys-
terry of Louisa Haw-
thorne's Death.
To The Eaitor Of he Leader:

10 me EdttOT OF ne Leddef:
CHICAGO, July 81, 1879.
During the first of the summer sea-
son a great rush was made by fashion,
able Chicago for watering places, but
the exodus has gradually subsidized I'M
til very few people are OF the move,
and many who have gone away are
returning feeling, that there is an adj
vantage gained ~ staying at home.
A great many people have prepared
trips to distant parts, and some few
have gone abroad this season. At the
present there are many strangers in
the city from the south, and a still
greater number from that latitude have
gone up in the extreme north.
Mr.. Crafts, the rector of Trinity,
an earnest temperance advocate, and
his excellent and talented lady, will
start for Colorado the first of Septem-
Der, and after All indefinite stay will
return and sail Immediately for Europe.
For a couple of days last week the
weather vas excessively hot, but the
rest Of the time was very cool and COM
Portable, and those who expected that
the millennium was neal at hand in
the shape of an universal bonfire, found
that their fears were entirely prema-
ture.

The mystery which for SO long a time
has surrounded the tragic death of
Miss Louisa Hawthorne, who fell from
the sixth story window of the fremont
house on the night of June 2Sth, '76,
has at last been solved, and the many
admirers of that beautiful actress will
be glad to learn that a correct state
ment has at last been obtained of the
sad event. Miss H~awthorne's death
was not suicidal; neither was the lady
murdered. She was leaning out of her
window listening to some means which
were proceeding from the of one
of the b~oarders, who was i'll, and in
leaning over she lost her balance and
fell, and thus was found a mangled
corpse the next morning. Considerable
blame must attach to those who, at the
time, knew of this and kept silent
through fear of public criticism, and
such criminal neglect to come forward
and give a correct version of the affair
at the time the public mind was so
much agitated over the event, should
condemn them for ever after to bitter
criticism. +. g.
