that familiarity with the incidents of MUIR

tration should occasion, and the same thing
may he said of capital punishment-The
Gazette says that several journals are max
ing much of their declaration that the Gov
ernment is not responsible for the redemp-
ton of their bank notes; and Mr.. Schurz,

assuming that there is fixed proportion of
coin to circulation, and the placing of bank
circulation one remove from the Treasury

makesit carry twice as much paper by piling
one kind ON another kind. If this were
true, then three or four hundred millions
of State Bank notes redeemable in Nation
al Bank notes, could be added. and thus
the whole inverted pyramid of paper be
made to stand on the basis of the specie in
the Treasury, and yet never to touch the
basis. A great volume of paper, based
on lesser amount of specie, is liable to very
positive and accelerating calls for re-
demption. This comes when specie has
been stolen out of the country until the
"basis" has become narrow, or when for
some reason or unreason there is an appre-
hension that redemption will not hold out
if demanded. In bank of issue its specie
basis is not only its reserve, but the specie
in circulation, which is attainable in the

by using its resources. 1t is not fixed
quantity, for the fixed quantity runs down
as soon as run for redemption begins.

The American people have been so ac-
customed to read the good and bad things
(moytly the latter) that for years past
have been said of them by their English
cousins, that it is quite refreshing to read
the deliberate conclusions OF cultivated
traveller from another country, as to the
state of society that exists here and the
comparative degree of social and intellec
tual progress the people have made.
Count Tarcnne, French gentleman of
culture, has recently returned home, and
gives to his countrymen the result Of his
observations during an extended tour in
America. He says that society, by which
he means "those supports, those sympa-
thetc communications that one has with
others" only exists here to a very limited
extent. He found many American minds
enlightened and cultivated in art, letters
and science, but they associate with each
other almost exclusively, and do not by
any means furnish avery numerous group.
He describes in a'terse and erigrammatlc
style peculiarly Frenchy, what he con-
ceive3 to be a far larger class The pic
ture is made up of a few bold outlines,
but all will recognize the originl mate
rial from which The sketch is drawn. He
SAYS "America is full of men who have
succeeded marvelously, but who are
themselves a failure; whose residences
are splendid, but whose souls are vulgar;
who have pictures and can not appreciate
them, books and do not read them, clothes
and bad fashions, clients but no society,
hatterers but no friends They have ac-
quired fortune by great effort, but they
do not know how to enjoy it. To be sure
there are eminent minds" Our foreign
critics should remember that it is not in
the nature of things that the nouveau
richie should be, or in ordinary cases
could We, people of culture. They have
raised themselves by the aid of unedu-
Gated genius, high in the scale of worldly
prosperity. Middle age and old age are
not apt to take Oh new ways or habits Of
life gracefully. 1t is not easy to teach
an old dog new tricks, but the succeed
ING generations of these will probably
grade up to the average level of European
society.

declaring that nothing in the world has
happened, and that the body was such a
wee thing, moreover, as to be of no man
ner of consequence, but the event has
stirred up nevertheless prodigious

GREAT BRITAIN is the greatest steel
producing country in the world, but the
United States are travelling along after
her at rapid pace, the product of the
past year being within seventy thousand
tons of that of the British Isles, and
greater than the combined production of
all the rest of the world. Whether the
stealing that for time characterized leg
islators and other public officials in this
country has anything to do with the
present boom in the manufacture of that
article, is metaphysical question, and the
STAR does not permit metaphysics to be
discussed in its columns until after the

New York Sun (Ind. Dem.): We hear
much said now of Mr.. Conkling's polit-
ical courage. But he is as cunning as he
is audacious. Wiseacrcs tell us he is for
Grant for the Republican candidate.
No one knows better than he how safe it
IS to be for Grant. No one knows better
than he that for him to support Grant
an impossible candidates. the surest
way to secure the entire Grant strength
to himself. When the hall rang with
loud huzzas at his complimentary men
ton of Grants name, he heard, with the
ear of the future, those same huzzas for
Conkling when Grants name shall be
dropped.
Detroit Evening News (Ind.): One of
the coolest things in Roscoe Conkling's
speech from the throne at the Saratoga
Convention was his eulogy of the re-
sumption policy and its beneficent re-
suits. Whatever credit may be due the
Republican party for its attitude toward
the resumption Of specie payments, GER
tainly none is due to Roscoe Conkling;
for during the whole discussion of the
question in Congress he either absented
himself from the Senate or sat silently in
his chair, leaving the burden of the bat
tie entirely to such men as Edmunds
and Bayard in the Senate and Garfield,
Chittenden and Hewitt in the House.
vicksburg Herald (Dem.): The Bour-
bons assert that discipline must be kept
up or the State will again suffer from
what they term "negro supremacy"
They mean by discipline that niger
be-dam policy should be pursued. Re
solving that the political equality Of all
men shall be guaranteed and protected,
they propose to concede nothing to the
colored voters. A wise concession is not
to be thought Of, say they. "Here is our
ticket; we'll elect H." they cry out, but
when they are asked how they will elect
it without some support of the co'ored
voters they fly into rage and denounce
their questioners as Radicals In oul
opinion the day for that sort of nonsense
is past.

THE WHY AND WHEREFoRE OF IT.

The only difference between a philoso-
phcr and the other man is that the
former is always looking out for the
origin of things, and is tracing out the
relations between cause and effect, and
from any action he may witness, .deduc-
ing motives for such action. While the
other man would pass by hair pin 60,
the highway uumovcd, the philosopher
would at once draw the conclusion that
a woman had been, or was, in the neigh
borhood, and at once institute search for
the rest of her. Seeing a young man
making a hasty exit from a brown stone
front door with the toe of No. 5
boot in close propinquity to his coat tails
would reveal to the philosophers mind
the existence of fair daughter, an
cratic father, and a heart broken and
otherwise damaged lover. To the com
mon mind it would appear to be only a
little bit of sportiye pleasantly between
friends-a hospital effort on the part OF
genial host to "speed the parting guest y

snake literature in the newspapers in

tian King of the eleventh dynasty, in the
Slade collection at the Museum. That is
to say, at period which may be mod

made with a skill which shows that the

which bear inscription of the early Egyp-

numerous examples, such as bead found
at Thebes, which has the name Of Queen

nasty. OF the same period are vases and
goblets and many fragments. 1t can not
be doubted that the story prepared by

that these adventurous merchants

long beforeis certain from representations

"THE End of the World" is the omin-
Gus title to a late lecture delivered by
Prof. Dubois-Reymond before the Berlin
University. The eminent gentleman in
spectacles goes to work in cold blood to

his own satisfaction that in seventeen
millions of years this globe will be only
an iceberg, from the pole to the equator,
and the sun but a huge red ball, having,

An insoluble riddle-but to the medi-
tative, scientific mind it is not insolu-
ble-it is no mystery. The official
figures from the Revenue Office furnish
key to the strange, startling, hair
elevating, loathsome, incredible snake
stories that have come over the land like
a horrible nightmare. These figures show
an immense increase of manufactured and
imported liquors during the last yearl!
If the latter fact is startling, the effects
are more so; but only philanthropic
mind of the first order could have traced
tie connection.
