A Bath in the Dead Sea.

A correspondent of the Washino,o.
Star, who has had bath in the a.
Sea, describes his experience as follow
The water, which is quite clear and
nearly the color of the Niagara R;ro-
below the falls, seemed to me Gt,Ia
more bitter and salt than that ofS,J,
Lake, although brighter and more
attractive to the eye when seen closo

me as little greater, also, than that "a
Salt Lake, as the body floated moro
easily and the difficulty OF swimminS
was greater on account of the insbiEtv
to keep ones feet under water. s.
large quantity of salt is held in soIn.
ton that the water has what is called
| believe, a 'ropy' appearance, much
like that of a plate of well made tapjoco
soup. ! observed, however, that when
we came out of the water there was NOT
50 large deposit of salt crystals on the
body as after bath in Salt Lake, and
the feeling of the skin, instead of being
dry and prickly, as l expected. was
rather oily and sticky. Our dinner that
night was seasoned with salt made from
Dead Sea water by solar evaporation.

best article OF brown sugar. us CRYSTALS
were large and hard, and, though for.
eign substances were evidently present
in considerable quantity. 1t was not
unpleasant to the taste. | was tod that
two quarts of water will produce one
quart of salt, but this is probably an
exageration. To complete the statistics
of this remarkable body of water, may
add what many of my readers may
already know-that there is no living
thing of any kind in il; that even the
driltwood brought down by the floods
in the Jordan i, speedily cast upon its
shores; that its length is about forty.fye
and its greatest width about ten miles
that it is over 1900 feet deep at the
deepest place; and that the immense
quantity Of fresh water poured into it
daily is undoubtedly taken up by
evaporation, as its great depth below
the basin of the Mediterranean must
preclude the idea of subterranean
outlet"

Happy Effects of resumption.

For the six weeks ending last Saturday
$2l 800, 900 in gold was imported into
this country from Europe. This is who'll
ly unprecedented in the commercial an
nails of the United States. There is ev-
cry reason to expect that the importation
for the current six weeks will be still
greater. The gold has had the effect of
expanding the volume of currency in the
country to the extent of its value. Such
are the effects of specie resumptiOn-an
expansion of the currency instead of
contraction as predicted by the advocates
of irredeemable and perpetually depreci-
ated paper money.
New York City is the commercial and
money center of this country, and what
ever affects the bank balances there affects
the business of the whole country to a
greater or less extent. The New York
Tribune says: s'There is good reason,
therefore to expect more easy money
market here than has been seen for some
weeks past. So long as gold comes free
ly from aboard in amount quite sufficient
to supply even the extraordinary drain
upon the banks which the large move
ment of produce causes them. there ap-
pears to be no cause for any other than a
| mOmentary stringency, such as the man
ipulati0ns of operators may at times pro-
duce. By the middle of October too, the
return of currency to the banks of the
country will probably exceed the outflow,
anu Tile JSIluOI1Cy Is, IuCGcIOEG, GOWdfu a
glut of unemployed money here not unlike
| that which is seen in Europe, though due
| to wholly different causes. The next
| step will be the rapid investment of that
capital in more permanent forms, in con-
| nection with great industrial enterpris-
! es. In effect, our wheat and pork and
cotton and petroleum are purchasing from
Europe the means wherewith to build us
| factories and mills, to open new mines,
and to become still more independent of
foreign industries
Such is the plethora of the coin in the
Treasury that the Secretary finds it nee
essary to use little gentle force, as it
| were, to induce the farmers of the West
to take their coin in exchange for their
surplus grain, pork and beef-so sound,
safe and valuable have greenbacks and
bank bills become under the Republican
| financial management. Yet now come
| Thurman, Ewing, Reemelin, Cary,
Voorhees,, Piatt, Tullis, Mrs. Lawrence,
All Groom, and all of the motley host of
! the "opposition' to the Republican party,
demanding the reversal of all this, and
| the people of Ohio to declare bv their
votes this fall that the resumption act and
all appurtenant legislation shall be re-
pealed, that war measures be adopted,
in time of peace, and that the country
again embark upon the tide of extraVa-
/ gance, paper initiation and uncertainty
the end of which must be disaster and
ruin, universal sufferin g and bankruptcy

to have. Mr.. Robbins gave them the fol-

Mr.. X. was shown the back of the note,

goods bought by me of the Cooperative Fertilizer
Company, and the above is in full demand of every

self to date of this note NJ. o. ROBBINS
When Mr.. Robbins had signed this mere
statement, or 'smere matter of form, you
know" contract, his note was endorsed
by himself, and he was held. for the
amount. This view occurred to Mr.. Rob-
bins all too late, but he started in pursuit,
aud fortunately found the swindlers at
Utica, where he had them arrested. The
Herald states that others have been vic
timizeG In the same manner. Are we
wrong in our caution Farmers, do not
sign your name to anything?
The. Utica Herald in reference to this
matter, says it has emo sympathy with
those who become victims to such swind-
Elers:
tsIt seems to be useless to warn farmers
to keep out of all transactions of this kind
with strangers. Every farmer can find
| well-known and trustworthy business
men in their own town or in the nearest
city, who will provide them with every

me Romanco Of a Lost HeIress.

The Romance OF a Lost AeAreSSs
There is an estate worth over 100000
awaiting Rosa Dietche, or Rosa Noll. and
a reward of 81 600 is offered for lnforma-
ton that will lead TO her discovery, by
Mr.. Dietche. who is making an industri-
Gus search for the lost heiress. The story
is quite romantic and interesting. About
TWENTY-FIVE wears ago the Dietche family,
from Baden, Germany, arrived in New
York. The family scattered, and one OF
the girls, Rosa, shortly afterward mar
ried Henry Noll, in Syracuse. After be-
coming the father of one child, Cathe-
rine, Noll deserted his wife and went to
Chicago from Westport, where the family
then lived. Mrs. Non, three years after
ward, returned to Syracuse and found
employment in the family of DR.. Blan-
chard Fisgate. This is as far as she has
been traced 1t has been aseertained that
after the separation Henry Noll proceeded
| to Chicago, and by hard labor and frugal
habits amassed a large fortune. Ten or
| twelve years since he was taken sick,
and, after a lingering illness, died. On
| his death-bed he repented of his unfaith-
| full conduct toward his young spouse, and
willed her his vast estate; amounting to
| $50, 600. This will was admitted to pro-
bate, aud during this long period of time
has never been claimed by the legatee-
The interest accruing has swelled the
amount until it has reached the hand
some sum of $l00,0 900 and upward. The
gentleman who was in search of Mrs.
Noll is an own brother. He says his sis
ter is now over forty-tive years of age,
and the daughter about twenty-fonr-
Mrs. Noll's personal appearance is de-
