TRAVELLING STONES.

Many readers have doubtless heard
of the famous travelling stones of Aus
tralia. Similar curiosities have recent
ly been found in Nevada, which are
described as almost perfectly round
the majority of them are as large as a
walnut, and of an irony nature. When
distributed about on the floor, table,
or other level surface within two or
three feet of each other, they immedi-
ately begin travelling toward a common
center, and there lie huddled up in a
bunch like a lot of eggs in nest. A
single stone removed to a distance of
three and half feet, upon being re-
leased, at once started off with won-
derful and somewhat comical celerity
to join it's fellows taken four or five
feet, it remained motionless. They are
found in a region that is comparative
ly level and is nothing but bare rock.
Scattered over this bare region are lit
tie basins, from few feet to a rod Or
two in diameter, and it is in the bot
tom of these that the rolling stones are
found. They are from the size of a
pea to five or six inches in diameter.
The cause of these stones rolling to-
gether is doubtless to be found in the
material of which they are composed,
which appears to be lodestone or mag
netic iron ore.

A FOX STORY.

According to the Cooleskill On. "
Herald A. NJ. wUbster'e fox atnry 10
the latest. A few days ago, while
plodding along after his plow, in deep
meditation, his attention was attracted
to large fox trotting along between
the two horses. Now, Webster never
gets nervous nor acts on the spur of
the moment. In this case he cody
took in the situation and carefully re-
volved the question in his mind, how
to capture that fox. He soon had it.
He would bury him alive! Suddenly
striking the horses smart blow, and
engineering the plow with double
jointed twist, over went the fox in the
furrow, and over the fox went cov-
erlng3of earth. Nothing but the hind
legs of the animal were visible, and
these Webster seized, and, whisking
his foxship out of the furrow, dashed
his brains out on a stone near by.
There are parties in town who say
they have seen the field where the oc-
currence happened. others have seen
the stone upon which the fox was
dashed, and still others who vouch for
the fact that Webster was plowing,
but as yet no one claims to have seen
the fox.

new life to plants. Even if a little is
sprinkled over the earth at their roots
their growth is invigorated.

his speech at Napoleon, Ohio, Septem-
Der Goth, 1879, said:

"The other financial question re-
naming is that which grows out Of
the existence of the National Banking
| system. There should be but one Opin-
ion among Democrats upon this sub
ject. The greatest successes the party
has achieved are those that followed
its struggle with the system in the
days of Andrew Jackson. The law
creating National Banks is clearly un-
constitutional. The banking power
was not delegated to the general gov
ernment in the Constitution. There is
no more authority in Congress to es-
tablish bank than to create any other
private corporations. The present Ma
| tiOnal Banking system is objection
able, besides, because it constitutes q
class interested in the perpetuity of
the public debt, the evidences of
which are made the basis of the bank
circulation. In addition, the laws
creating these institutions enables the
wealth of the country to consolidate
and manage its capital for the control
of legislation and of elections. The
Democratic party, therefore, propose
no rechartering of National banks and
such gradual substitution of treas
ury notes for bank notes as will neith-
u Au uPoiH-VcStou HiSu utS uOT cIuCoEToca
the business of the country"
Senator Thurman has likewise ex-
pressed similar opinions and senti-
ments concerning the national banks,
as also has about every other leading
Democrat in the country, whether call
ed hard Or soft money. 1t is a point
therefore on which all Democrats
all patriotic people-can unite and
make the fight against the Republican
party in 1880, which is the only party
of the national banks and honeymoon
opolists. That fight is now on, and it
is for popular freedom under nation
al law, or slavery under national banks.
Let this issue, therefore, be clearly
made and the battle conducted with
vigor and earnestness, as it should be,
and the Democracy with the people,
will be sure to defeat the monopolists
and money corruptionists and win a
grand triumph for the people in 1880.

A DECAYED AMERICAN INDUS.
TRY.

Before the advent of cheap cotton
the production and manufacture of
fax were important industries in this
country.
In 1910, when the population of the
country was but little more than T.
100000, there were produced in the
United States over 2I,OOO,OOO yards
of fiaxen cloth made IN families. At
the present time, when the population
of the country is believed to be 5O,-
coo, 600, the total annual production of
fax and linen fabrics is probably not
oyer 5,OOO,OOO yards, and not yard Of
fine linen ia made in the country.

And many others. The State of Cali.

al argument on the financial provi-
sions in the Constitutions:
"These two provisions are indus
triously followed and completed, by
denying to the States all powers of
emitting bills OF credit, or making
anything but gold and silver q tender
in payment of debts. The whole con-
troll, therefore, over the standard of
value and medium of payments is
vested in the general government.
And again, collating the grant to Con-
gress, and the prohibition on the
States. just reading of the provis-
ions is this: Congress shall have the
power to coin money, regulate the
value thereof and of foreign coin, emit
bills of credit, or make anything be-
sides gold and silver coin, legal
tender in payment of debts.'"
These opinions it behooves every
Democrat-every patriot who loves
his country-to now consider with re-
newed purpose and application. It
was for following and acting upon
them, aud against banks of issue, that
the Democracy of old got the name of
a hard money party. This name was
incurred, not because the Democratic
party was opposed to the issue of le-
gal-tender treasury notes, but because
it was unalterably hostile to the issue
of bank notes by private corporate
banks, of which latter are all of the
present national banks, and any other
banks of issue.
