bv the French nation to Germany oil
Ave thousand milliards of francs brought
about an unhealthy rise of prices and
deranged the business of the German
empire; while France, Notwithstanding
the prompt liquidation of it's enormous

History repeats itself, and the expert

own experience in former days, seems
not unlikely again to be repeated in this

A currency which will adapt itself to
the existing circumstances is particularly
needed at the present time, and it will be
the province OF Congress to watch care
fully the indications of an excess OF pa
per money, and to prevent, by proper
legislation, the mischief and danger OF
redundant and non elastic currency.

politicians. They are a much abused
class. 1t is the fashion to sheer at them,
but | think they are better men as Il rule
than merchants and bankers and other
representatives Of what is called respect
ability. They make more sacrifices and
do more unseltish work for others than
business men ever think of doing They
cultivate certain chyalric sense of
honor. Even some who are naturally
corrupt VIII refuse the most tempting
brides when the integrity Of their party is
involved. | have seen enough of political
life 10 satisfy me that its influence is ele-
waiting and not degrading | would much
rather be tried 10y Il jury OF my political
opponents who were acknowledged poll
ticlans, than by jury Of respectable
business men who said that they took no
particular interest in politics, but usually
voted the Republican ticket. From them
| should expect gross injustice and preju-
dice ten times as intense as my aVOwed
political opponents would display. The
man who serves a cause if it is not Il pos
itively bad cause, is ennobled by the ser
vice. lie learns to look at men, Us well
as doctrines, from a higher standpoint

around him. lie waved his pistol in the
air and Shot it Oft twice, TO attract his
men. TWoor three gathered around him.
but, as the Indians still continued to al

away. Custer fired ut him and killed
him, and then. seeing the case Quite
hopeless, the Indians gathering around
from all parts, turned his revolver ON
himself, preterrlng to die 10y his oWn

this person was Custer, as he was a chief !:
but they are not certain of the fact. Rain

A touching scene was recently noted in a

clean and ragged dress, and with her hand
resting on the shoulder of boy of 10, whose
head was bowed and whose face was stream

Southern Senators may swagger about the

that Mr.. Conkling will treat suggestions of a
