pean commodities can be sold at high
profit in our market. Then the resump-
tion experiment will begin to be tested;
then the tide of money will begin
to flow back into Europe, and greenbacks
will be offered at the Treasury to procure
gold for expectation. IT, after the stream
is turned, there should be prospect of
short crops in America and an abundant
harvest in Europe, it will require all Mr..
Sherman's skill to weather the change.
The governments is trusting altogether too
much to luck and accident.
The most urgent duty incumbent ON Con-
gress is to withdraw the greenbacks with
nearly the same swiftness with which for
eign gold il coming into the country and
thereby arrest imitation. What the country
needs is, to repeat the Presidents ex-
preston, ga safe and stable currency"
A circulating medium which mounts
as ours is now m mounting is not stable and
therefore not safe. We had money enough
before, and the greenbacks ought to be re-
tired in about the same proportion that
gold flows in, one process keeping, rs
nearly as practicable, even step with the
other.
This cannot be done without legislation.
Congress ought, without delay, to repeal
the absurd act of May 81, 1878. passed by
the inAationists, which prescribes that
when any of the government notes are re-
ceived into the Treasury ''they shall not be
retired, cancelled or destroyed, but they
shall be reissued and paid out again and
kept in circulation" Besides repeating
this idiotic law Congress should confer au-
thority on the Secretary of the Treasury
and make it his duty to fund the excess
of the legal tender notes over the coin
reserve held against them, allowing a
reasonable time for the withdrawal, so that
the national banks may make preparations
for supplying deficiencies in the circula-
ton if there should be any. The coin re-
serve in the Treasury should go into the
banks to replace their greenback reserves,
and the other gold in the country
flow into the channels of circulation as q
substitute for paper. If unequal to the
retired greenbacks the deficiency would be
supplied by new issues of bank notes.
There would then be no further danger Of
imitation and the country have reached ''a
safe and stable currency"

Prince Alex ander's Troubles.

The world need not be needlessly
alarmed about Prince Alexander of Bull
garia, who, according to telegram from
Sofia, has informed the Gear that he desires
to abdicate. It is natural that an alien
ruler, planted so unceremoniously as
he was upon throne, should at first
find his crown sit uncomfortably. We
remember how often the Prince of Rou-
mania has threatened to leave his
often he was eaAily induced to resume
his princely functions. Prince Alexander
may. indeed, sometimes wish that he were
again q simple army lieutenant at the quiet
little capital Of Hesse Darmstadt, just to
escape for a moment from his present life
of care, responsibility and monotony. His
appeal to the Gar is not made with any
serious intention, and nobody knows bet
ter than Prince Alexander himself that he
has little to fear from his Bulgarian SUBJ
jects, who have quite enough TO do in fight
ing and quarrelling among themselves. A
recent incident well illustrates the charac-
ter of the people over whom the
ITluCe WbS cieCtcu W Iulcs lue ln-
habitants of Widdin were told that
the Prince was about to visit their city.
Many triumphal ARCHES were erected, and
among them one was set up and decorated
ut the expense of the Jewish community.
Arriving within fifty yards of this arch
Prince Alexander was disgusted to see
mob of Bulgarian Christians break down
the arch, tear up the banners and hangings,
pelt the Jewish deputation with mud and
stones and finally attack them with sticks
and slaves. The Israelites endeavored to
defend themselves as best they could, and
Prince Alexander himself rode in among
his infuriated subjects, uttering, if we
are correctly informed, the most passion
ate exhortations and bitter reproaches
in vain. Prince Alexander had the NOR
tifcation of seeing the weaponless He
brews driven away from him, pursued with
curses and hootings by their fellow "Chris-

been put to any test fitted to expose its
weakness. The short crops of Western
Europe and the great abundance of our
own have sent tide of gold into the coun-
try SO much in excess of our wants that
there is no motive for drawing coin out of
the Treasury by presenting notes for re-
demption. We do not need gold even
for the payment of duties since
paper is received at nll the custom
houses. There has accordingly been no
strain to test the value of our fair weather
resumption. But the situation may change;
it is already changing. Symptoms of new
imitation are presented all around us. The
prices of all commodities are rapidly ad-
vancing and the stock market was mover
moro feverish. When the money that has
been needed in the West during the autumn
for moving the heavy crops flows back to the
commercial centres a new impulse will be
given to this imitation. Meanwhile the influx
of foreign gold continues. The upward
tendency OF prices will be strengthened by
the stream of paper currency from the
West and the stream of gold from Europe.
These two streams, meeting from opposite
directions, will cause monetary swell on
which all property will be lifted. Nobody
can foresee the height to which prices will
rise with this increasing redundance Of
money. Even Congress may be made
thoughtful by the middle of the session.
AS soon as prices rise high enough q
flood of foreign goods will come pouring
into the country. The drain of money
from Europe will lower prices there, in
fation will enhance them here and Euro

How to Clear COWsheds and Stables
of Flies.

The Breslawer Laadwirth no .
tees variety of methods by which
this desirable object may be accom-
plished. One good plan is to place
small dishes of chloride of lime i'm
mediately under the roof, and fire
quent lime washing of the walls is
also said to be of great assistance.
Another method consists in the en-
ploymenty of a. preparation COM
posed of one hundred and. twenty
parts of4lycopodium. The mixture
should be kept in a pigs bladder
furnished with a quill nozzle, and a
little of it sprinkled from time to
time where the flies set thick to-
gether in the early hours of morn>
ing. Its poisonous effects upon
them will be made evident in q
very few minutes. A cheaper plan
consists in suspending small
bundle of mugwort, or mother
wort, or a small willow bush,
from the ceiling of the room,
kitchen or s able, when the
flies apparently attracted by the
smell, will settle upon it, in great
numbers, as evening sets in. A
wide-mouthed bag is then held i'm
mediately under the bundle, aud the
string which suspends the , latter
cut through with sharp shears, The
bundle with its load Of flies falls in.
to the bag, and can then be de,
stroyed with fire or water or other
convenient means. A still furthel
plan is to fumigate the rooms with
dry rotten cow-dung, which should
be allowed to burn slowly in par
of charcoal. Flies appear to be ut
terly unable to support its pungent
odor, and if the doors and windows
are now opened will hasten to make
their escape through them. The
same holds good also of moths
gadhles, wasps, and many other un.
desirable visitors belonging to tn,
insect world.

The reputation il has attained, IL consequence Of
the marvellous cures it has produced during the
last half century, is sufficient assurance to the
public that it viii continue to realize the happieat
results that can be desired. In almost every
section of country there are persons, publicly
known who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs, by its use.
All who have tried il, acknowledge its superiority;
and where its virtues are known no one hestates
as to what medicine to employ 10 relieve the dis
tress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary afrec-
tons. CHERRY PICTORIAL always affords in
slant relief, and performs rapid cures of the
milder varieties ofbronchial disorder, as well rs
the more formidable diseases Of tie lungs.
As safeguard to children, amid the distress
ing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest Of
Childhood it is Invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to health.
This medicine gains friends at every trial. rs
the cures it is constantly producing are too re-
markable to be forgotten. No family should be
without it, and those who have once used It
never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the country
prescribe it, and Clergymen often recommend it
from their knowledge of its effects.
