A Boys Reason.

In one of the primary schools of Sa-
lem, Mass, teacher was endeavoring
to ascertain the extent of her children's
knowledge of number. The question
being asked, Would you rather have
three paper bags with two oranges in
each, or two bags with three oranges in
each ?" all but one little fellow ex-
pressed themselves as without prefer
ence. The teacher asked the pupil for
his decision, and he was persistent in
his liking for three bags with two
oranges in each, his reason, when final
ly given, being:
$50 1 could have more bags to
bust"

The ouaker's Horses.

During the war of the rebellion, d
wealthy Quaker in Indiana, whose four
beautiful horses were the admiration of
the place, was asked to aid pecuniarily
in the formation of a regiment of cav
airy. He replied:
" Friend, thou knowest that I cam
not give thee money or horses for war
war is wicked = but as for my four
horses, it is true that two will serve my
needs, and, friend, will say to thee,
that my stable door is not locked, and
if l see thee on one of my horses and
thy friend James on another, I will
keep the peace towards both.''
The stable door was found unlocked
and the Quaker did not go before
magistrate when two Of his fine horses
were missing.

ENGLAND's COMMERCIAL DEPRESSION.

The best thinkers Of England are at present
engaged in profound cogtation on the mer
camille and industrial crisis that has oyertakcn
that country and her press abounds in efforts
to explain ITS underlying causes. One Of the
most striking of these attempts to solve the
difficult problem is made in late number OF
the Princeton Reriep by Therold Rogers,
Professor of Political Economy in the Univer.
sity at Oxford and one of England's most stur-
dy thinkers and trcnchant writers After nam
Professor is thus summarized by the New
York SIM:
The Professor finds the most important,
general and enduring cause of the fall in
prices and arrest in production throughout
Great Britain in the rapid rise in the cCOnomi-
cal value of gold. He points out that while
the annual product Of this metal Is probably
not more than sufficient to cover the annual
wear and tear, yet the demand for it has been
abnormally increased by the monetary revou-
ton of the past five years This dearncss o.!
gold has been reflected in fall of prices,
which entails loss of profits not only on the
stocks of. fabrics which have accumulated un-
der the agency Of higher prices but on those
parts of Il producers capital, such rs buildings,
plant, and machinery which were called into
permanent existence while these higher prices
ruled. No doubt this phenomenon may be re-
marked under more or less acute phases IN all
European countries; and even in France,
where the tolerance of II double standard checks
the natural effects of the drain Of gold, 1t may
be traced i'll the partial eclipse Of certain in
dustrcS But the result must needs be pro-
found and striking III the case Of a world pur-
vcyor like Great Britain, both because gold is
there the only standard of value, and because
the accumulatIons of stock and the volume of
capital locked up in the appliances of produc-
ton arc far greater than they are elsewhere.
The Professor is thus forced TO admit that
England's present fearful distress has ITS orr
gin in her own bitter, tanatical opposition to
silver reconciliation and the bimctallc stand
ard, and her stubborn unwllinmess To glvc up
her prcconccivcd opinion that gold is stable,
or al least but slightly iiuctualng, measure of
value. When she can be- persuaded to inves-
usatc the subject without starting out with the
assumption Of this error, she may get Il clim,
mex Of the light to lead her out Of her present
Distress bu, John Bull will travel a LONG way
down the valley of sore trial nddistress before
his stubbornncss on such a point will Weld To
the dictates Of cvcry-iay experience and COM
mon SENSE

any pretended constitutional provision 10 re

\ very large and earnest canal meeting was
also held at Joliet on SATURDAY, All the
speakers denounced the attempt made by the
rival railroads 10 domOiish the gr,a, water
