The statement was prefaced by these words:
There has been and is being so much said
about the amount of currency there was it
circulation in 1866, that the figures below
have been taken from the Treasurers report
June 80, and August IS, 1865, for the pur-
pose OF giving the readers of the Ne,r Era the
truth as stated by the proper authorities at
the time, and before there was any reason for
throwing dust in the eyes of the people,
There we're ten kinds of currency as follows:
A day or two later the PRESS thus COM
mented upon the statement of the Neav Era:
THE Ne,o Era has already opened the fall
campaign, and begun the repetition of the
inaccurate and false statements the publica-
tion of which made it notorious last year. 1t
gives pretended extract from the United
States Treasurer's report for 1866 which does
not appear in that or any other report by the
Treasurer, and on this false assumption
builds up an argument to prove an enormous
contraction of the currency.
The Era now says the question is a ques-
tion of veracity betweenitself and the PRESS.
Exactly-and not only question with the
PRESS but with United States Presidents and
Secretaries OF the Treasury aud Comptrolers
of the currency. Our charge that the pre-.
tended extract from the United States Treas
urer's report for 1865 does not appear in that
report we repeat Conscious that it made
misstatement, and that it had been found out
the New Era now makes another misstate-
ment. Before, it contented itself with forg-
ing paragraph. 1t now invents an entire
report. We give its words:
To make it certain beyond all doubt that
the figures and items are correct, the NeD
Era will again refer to the report and copy
them from that and not from its own previ-
Gus statement. The report before the Neac
Era now is headed as follows: "A statement
showing the amount OF State, Nadonal-Bank,
and United States Notes, &C., (what the
&c. covers will be seen hereafter,) out
standing at the c'ose Of each fiscal year from
1860 to 1878 inclusive. Prepared at the
Treasury department, July Is, 1878. John
Sherman, Treasurer The following is an
absolutely correct copy from that report:

ms is, to use the words of the Neo Era,
The truth as stated by the proper authori-
ties at the time, and before there was any
reason for throwing dust in the eyes of the
people," Now the Ne,o Era finds reason,
satisfactory to ITSELF for throwing dust, and
asserts in the face of all these authorities,
that the currency in 1866 was over 81 ,9OO,.
100000.
Thus it appears:
The Ne,o Era misrepresents official author
tiles, attributing to them statements they
never made.
1t makes pretended quotation from the
treasurer's report of 1866 that cannot be
found in that report.
Convicted of this literary forgery it goes
to work and invents treasurer's report for
1878, and signs it with the name of a man
who never was treasurer.
1t includes the 7-30 bonds and other inter-
est-bearing obligations 10 the amount of cur
rency, in the face of the fact that the bonds
were not currency and not legal-tender.
Its entire article is tissue OF misrepresen-
tations, gotten up to deceive its readers.
We close the discussion with the following
from the Neao Era, quotation, which, singu-
larly enough contains no Misrepresentation,
though it abouLds in incorrect quotations.
NOW which journal, the New Era or the
Portland PRESS is the 'perverter of facts?'

The Masks We Wear

was reading to-day the strange,
mysterious story of "The Man in
the Iron Mask" That one leaf Ia
ken from the history of France con
tains enough romance to make US
willingly believe the adage, seTrdth'
is stranger than fiction" For
years the prisoner lived in his lone
ly cell, supplied with every luxury,
treated with unusual Difference; yet
never allowed to raise the mask
which concealed his identity, on
pain of instant death. No one ever
saw his face, no one ever knew his
name, except the King who had
condemned him to this awful fate.
Even after he had died and his
crime, whatever it may have been,
was expiated, his history still re
manned unknown. He died as he
had lived with the mask still be-
fore his face, fastened with iron
clasps.
Reading this strange story of
this strange prisoner reminded me
of TIE other kind of masks that we
nearly all of us wear, to some ex-
tent. Men with base motives, sell
fish and ignoble minds, may, and Of
ten do, hide their aims behind the
mask of purity and goodness. 1t
is bnt too often that innocence be-
comes a mask for crime and deceit
becomes a jailer, so powerful that
evenin the hour of death the iron
claps are not unfastened. Were it
not for these masks, many who are
revered and respected would suffer
disgrace and defeat. But the mask
which holds the greater portion of
us with its iron clasps is the musk
invented by society. 1t is intended
to disguise all our thoughts and
feelings, and the rules of society
are such as to exclude all persons
who will not wear the mask. The
''verdant" is simply name applied
to all who do not thus conceal their
thoughts and impulses. And rath-
er than have this term applied to
them, many will clasp this mask sc
tight that even death itself cannot
undo it. Many of US use masks
unawares, deluding ourselves will
the idea that we never use them
and before we know it, the clasp:
will have so rusted with time anC
age that we caunot unciasp then
even if we try our best; ant
we are doomed like the man 1 tolC
you of, never to raise it from be
fore our face till the judgement day
Reader do you wear mask?

They worked in this way for five
years, the boy earning more money

Transferring Bees.

Having been in the bee business
several years, claim to be practlc-
al. If you want to transfer bees
from an old fashioned hive to new
one, it can be done in any month
when it is warm enough for the
bees to fly, and it can be done
whether the bees are building comb
or not. 1 prefer that they have
very little honey at the time. l
have no objection if they are gath
ering. Avoid robbers by not ex-
posing the combs too much. The
first thing in transferring from an
old box hive is to smoke the bees.
This causes them to fill their sacks.
In about fifteen minutes they are
full and docile and have lost their
resentment. Now move the old
hive say feet to the front, set the
new one in place of the old, dlsplace
the frames, spread cloth over the
bottom section, if it is wo-story
hive. so che bees will not be scat
tered through both sections. Now
turn the box hive bottom end up
| spread a cloth over it, continde a lit
tie smoke for a few moments, then
move the cloth so that you can split
the box open, or prize of one side
without damaging the comb,so as W.
can cut out the comb one sheet a
a time. Each sheet will have mor'
or less bees on it, which we mus
brush off at the entrance to th'
new hive. This comb should b'
f, placed in a box covered with a clotl
so as to keep out neighboring bee
4 and robbers. When the comb is al
e removed if bees are clustered ol
4 the old box shake or brush then
), off as above directed. Now retlr
J to a room, cut out your comb an
t fit it into your frames, confining
bv means of thin strips of plan
tackled with OF. tacks around th
edges of the frame, and place theI
It in the hive. Ia or 3 days remoy
e the strips or clasps as the bees wi
;, have the combs welded up tight t
q the frames. If you should find on
Il stock very poor either in brood 9

Gone-to that blessed home altar,

Where the stars eternal shine in glory ever

proved movable comb hives. But
it is important that your hives be
made alike so as the frames may be
interchangeable. Otherwise you had
better stick to the old box gum. If
you prefer comb honey you may
use cases to hold say a pound of
honey in sections so as to be inter-
changable with your breeding
frames. If you want good honey,
either comb or extracted, never take
it till it is ripe and sealed. Imma
ture honey is no more fit for use
than a green water melon. Bees
never seal it till it is ripe. When
sealed it will keep for years without
soaring. j. B. BRAY.

Don't kick a man when he's down,
You know not what his temptation has been,
His fall may be caused by weakness and not
the result of sin,
So don't kick q man when he's down.
Don't kick man when he's down,
But help him to rise again;
The act will give you pleasure and perhaps
will relieve him of pain;
Then don't kick man when he's down.
Don't kick a man when he's down,
For though now you are standing erect,
You too may be weak and tempted and fall
when you least expect;
Then don't Fick man when he's down.
