Turkey has an issue of paper money that
Is disturbing Its statesmen a great deal. It
Is impossible to keep this money at par with
gold. Some time ago the Porte discovered,
or thought 1t had discovered, means Of
sending the value OF its paper currency up.
It announced it's intention Of redeeming these
bills at an early date, and, at the same time,
entered into an arrangement with the bakers
OF Constantinople, whereby the latter. In re-
turn for liberal monthly compensation from
the government, agreed to sell their bread to
the people at Its original price in paper
money, or for about one-fourth of Its true
value. The trick was soon discovered; the
people knew very we'll that the government
had no gold with which to redeem its notes.
and became naturally suspicious. Day by
day the value OF the paper dollar grew less
until 1t was finally worth only eight cents,
The government grew desperate, and at last
issued an order filming every citizen who re-
fused to take this paper money the sum OF

Mrs. Polk, widow of ex- President Polk, ia
yOrs the removal Of the remains Of all the
Presidents to national cemetery at Wash
ington. She calls attention to the neglect in
which the graves Of our Presidents are.
Their relatives are with few exceptions, In
shortened circumstances and unable to keep
their tombs In repair. The graves of Jeffer-
son and jackson, In particular, are In con-
dition dlsgraceful to the whole country. Mrs.
Polk thinks that the government owes 1t to
itself to keep these graves in repair. Scat
tered, however, as they are, over the country,
1t Is impossible to do this, and the only remedy
will be to organize q special cemetery-to
serve as q sort Of Westminster Abbey for this
country wherein to keep the remains Of our
deceased Presidents.

Parson Conway has not yet negotiated a
loan for $4,000, which he has attempted In
the East, for the purpose of chartering
steamboats, to take off the ''perishing" ne
gross from the banks OF the Mississippi and
translate them to the uninhabited prairies OF
Kansas. Even philanthropic Boston failed to
be aroused by his appeals, and refused to
lend the amount required. Conway's record

thinks himself entitled. 70 know man too

A HISTORICAL INCIDENT.

The meeting OF the Convention on Tuesday
last was attended by most dramatic Incl
dent, which we feel it our beunden duty, as
contemporary historians, to chronicle.
The Convention had just been called to
order and members who had not spoken or
risen to privileged questions on the day pre-
cediDg were deeply immersed Ia the Journal
Or the morning papers, and were just begin

The Republicans now admit that their judi
cial ticket, recently 50 badly defeated In Chi
cago, was not worthy to be elected. The
Tribune says it was too intimately connected

To criticism and OF whose legal ability there
was no question" This is late admission.

Now. OF the above amounts, it will be noted
that the first two items are simply carried to
the credit OF the respective funds on the
Auditors books, and, therefore, can, Of
course, have no connection with nor effect
upon any portion of the States funded debt,
The samesis equally true OF the ST. ,096. 1853
warrants Which the reports recommend to
be converted into the new bonds proposed to
be issued. Therefore these three items,
together making $2,425,850, must be laid
aside as being sources from which the
holders Of the States consols can de-
rive nothing at all for their present bonds.
Deducting this S2,425,85O from the total
we have, apparently remaining for the hold
ers Of consols to look to for whatever COM
pensatfon may be thus afforded, ST ,65e,5OO OF
the committees new bonds. This would in
deed seem small against the twelve millions Of
State consols, but the actual facts with refer
ence to this item show that even 1t is an
equally Elusive and impossible source of COM
pensation to the bondholder. The terms of
the ordinance are explicit that these 81. 656 500
new bonds shall be given In exchange ONLY for
the above named bond5,"i. e., the New Or
leans and Nashville Railroad Company. the
Relief OF the State Treasury, and the Lou
isiana State Penitentiary bonds: for the iden-
tical and original pieces of paper representing
these issues, and for nothing else. Now, In point
OF reality all, or at least more than ninety
nine one-hundredths Of these particular
issues, have long ago been exchanged for con-
soils, and the original bonds themselves cam
celed and burned up. 80 that they can never,
by any possibility, be presented for exchange
or for any other purpose, as the gentlemen
well knew; and as the ordinance gives no
right, even to those owning consols repre-
senting these issues and 80 identifiable to OBJ
tain the new bonds on presentation of them. |

Where seems to be q serious delusion prevail
ng extensively, not only In our own commune
ty but In other parts of the State and country,
that the measures embodied In the ordinance
recommended by the majority report Of the
State Debt COMMITTEE. repudiate the existing
funded debt to the extent about of two-thrds
only, leaving the remainder (say 81 os2, $3.50
as good and valid obligations OF the State.
This is serious Misrepresentation OF the full
significance OF that report as Is readily
demonstrable

to be recognized Is as follows:

Too Old for Them.

The other day man with sachel
called into ferry dock saloon,
wherein fifteen or twenty old salts
were lying about their adventures on
the high seas, and, after warming his
hands at the stove, he said to the
bar keeper:
"Sir, am the agent OF French
wine house, and should like to sell
you few barrels OF brand now over
100 years DID,"
The salooniist thought he wouldn't
invest, and the man took plat bot
tie from his sachel, held it up to the
light, and, looking around on the
crowd. remarked:
Gentlemen, this Is q sample oil
wine over 100 years old. / have nc
doubt that you will all do me the
honor to taste it."
A perfect shower OF tobacco -quids
and half-consumed cigars fell on the
big stove hearth, and the crowd had
its mouth all ready, when the agenl
scrutinized the bottle and said:
"Ahl 1 am mistaken. l left the
wine at the hotel. and brought along
my hair invigorator in place OF IL
Gentlemen, please remain seate,
while 1 go and fetch the old wine.
At the end OF long hour he hac
not returned, and one Of the victims
slowly arose and said:
Gentlemen, you hear me! II
meet that man on the street, will
kill him and drink his hair invigora

"SoIl II" shouted all the Others
and they opened their tobacco boxe
and went on with their lying.

Hilton a conspicuous place among
New York millionaires.
Probably Mr.. William H.Vanderbilt
is to-day the richest man in New
York. He inherited the bulk OF
Commodore Vanderbilt's fortune, ho
at the time OF his death was account
ed richer man than either OF the
present Astors. With the single ex-
ception OF Mr.. William H. Vanderbilt,

which has sunk fully one-third since
1873. II the Astor fortune was then

grown with rapidity hitherto un-
known in any OF the great centers OF
population OF the world, aud the
growth gave wealth to the few who
bought or inherited city real estate
Their descendants are among our
richest citizens. Chief among city
reel estate owners who rank as mil
lionaires are the Astors, the Rhine

the list, AMI who occupies on the

OF all the gentlemen we have named,
who together represent certainly be-
tween $lOO,OOO,0OO and $l5O,000,O 900
real estate, not one concerns himself
personally about municipal affairs.
This reflection addresses itself with
peculiar force, not only to millionaires,
but to our moderately well to do class
es, and to all those who own proper
ty in this city. II sharp remedy is
not quickly applied to the present
uselessly and criminally extravagant
mode of municipal government the
profession OF millionaire will soon be-
come extinct. aud the preservation of
accumulated wealth at this center
can be classed among the lost arts.

l arrived at Aurora on the 18th OF
November, and began plowing for
wheat the next week, and continued
so to do until about two weeks ago,
when it became too cold to ride my
sulky plow. In regard to our couh-
try, would say We have as fine grain
growing country as you will find any
where between the Atlantic and Pa

vantages or inducements for the en-
igrant; and We have as fine. il not the
finest, county in the State. 1t is
about twenty-four miles square, and
is drained by numerous streams. The
Platte bounds this county OH the
north. and affords splendid pasturage;
the Blue, which rises in the western
part OF the county and runs through
the southern portion. is the site OF
several mills, and the Beaver, nor.h
OF the Blue runs in an easterly course.
The Lincoln river lies between the
Beaver and the Platte. and on its
banks is situated the town OF Aurora,
the county seat OF Hamilton county.
These streams furnish perfect drain
age to the county. and along their
banks Is found considerable timber.
The soil is iiue. with nothing to pre-
vent the tiller from using all the late
improved implements, which does
away with a great amount OF hard
labor, and enables the farmer to tend
about double tho number OF acres

and valleys stretching out as far as

, home for himself and family.
