General Garfield was party to the
enactment of the law that thus "de-
monetized silver and added $500, ,O00,-
600 to the public debt, "and hence ''in-
flicted n gross injustice on the Tax
payers of the country" He refused to
vote for the restoration of the Silver
Dollar. The bill restoring the silver
dollar was passed principally by DEM
ocratic votes. 1t was vetoed by Hayes,
and Garfield sustained the veto but
the bill was finally passed into a law
over the veto by the Democrats, aided
by the Greenbackers and few Re-
publicans.
Tens and hundreds of thousands of
people throughout the country took
the same view of the matter that
Captain Mcclure expressed in the
above quotation, and in supporting
Garfield will have to stultify them
selves and swallow very upsavory
dish of crow.

Good Manners.

A man who is deficient in fine man.
ners is likely to commit many errors in
dealing with others, whether they are
his interiors or superiors in position, So
cial standing OF age. The mistake an
inferior is likely to commit in dealing
with his superior is to act as though he
were the latter's equal. and the danger
to which the superior is subject, in con-
versing with his inferior, is the dan
ger Of asserting, or over-asserting, bis
superiority, instead Of leaving it to the
other to establish the fact by insensibly
conceding it. But your equal obviously
cur commit either blunder. He may be
arrogant and presuming, or he may
show himself apologize, timid and un-
easy. Either blunder serves to ihttey
duce an element of awkwardness and dis
comfort into the conversation, and, Il the
blunder be one of large propon
tons, renders the situation intol
cradle. He has no sense of the
fitness of things, and you suffer in
consequence Another thing that is in
consistent with good breeding is vulgar
familiarity. A person of fine manners
is never familiar with his superiors. even
ostensibly never familiar with his n
feriors in reality, and not often familiar
even with his equals. Horse-play Is an
extreme type of familiarity, and SHOULD
be the exclusive amusement of country
pumpkins and gutter-children. It Is
subject for much regret that this coarse
kind of diversion has been found de-
ightful by those who are called the
highest In the land" To pull man
out Of bed In the middle of the night;
to throw his bedclothes or the contents
of his portmanteau out of window to
the lawn; these, and other practical
jokes Of kindred nature, are consid-
cred the height Of wit by the perpetra-
tors, but are most annoying to the VIC
tim.

Ninety-nine or Nine Hundred and
NinetY.nina Years.

The reason for the use of the odd term
in leases, 999 years or SO years, is given
In the New York Journal of Commerce.
Lessees and mortgages in possession of
real estate for 100 or 1000 years de-
missed the same at an annual rental, re-
tanning reversion for the last year of
the original term.
The object of this was an unwilling
ness on the part of the under tenant to
become bound to the performance of the
covenants contained in the original
grant; and also, the importance to the
lessor of a reversionary interest; with
out which, under the old English prac-
tice, he could not recover his rent by
distress.
Sometimes this reversion was only for
three days or even for one day, but usu-
ally in long terms the last year was re-
tanned. Out of this came the popular
notion that the law provided this re-
straint, and hence leases were made
for SO or 500 years, when there was no
reason whatever for any such odd pc
Rod Of time.
In England there was, In special cases,
a restraint on corporations or ecclesias-
tical persons, prohibiting the demise of
lands belonging to them to the impover-
ishment of their successors, for term
beyond 100 years, and such leases were
made for SO years. There is no such
restriction In this State.

CONSISTENCY.

There's time to wake and time to sleep,
A time to SOW, time to reap;
There's time for work, a time for play,
A time for haste, a time for delay;
There's time to rejoice, time to weep,
A time for the living, time for the deep;
There's time for hope and expectations,
A time for fulfillment and realizations;
Poor mortal, whatever thy lot may be,
Cultivate flashes of consistency.
There's time for love and time for haze,
A time to augment, time to abate;
There's time to adhere, time to secede,
time to wound and time to bleed;
There's time to endure, time to forbear,
A time to do and time to dare;
There's time for silence, time to unfold,
A time for the meek and a time for the bold;
Poor mortal, whatever thy lot may be,

There's time to abide, time to absterge,
A time to caress and time to scourge;
There's time 10 intrust, time to decry,
A time for decoy and time to espy;

A time for pity and tune for might;

Editors and MatrimOny.

The "Hermit" of the Troy Times writes:

schoolteaeher, whose acquaintance he
made at clearinghouse. She after
ward went South as governess, and they
maintained correspondence, but how
any weman could decipher Greeley's
hleroglyphics is wonder. At last he
went to Richmond and brought back his
bride, who preceded him to the grave
only few weeks. Bennett married
bright girl whose parents kept thread
and needle store. 1t Is said that their
acquaintance was made at fair held in
behalf of Roman Catholic church,
which Bennett was requested to notice
favorably. The favorable notice" led
to the mutual notices of a more import
ant character, and finally a matrimoial
alliance was the result. 1t was then the
day of small things, and the BENEFITS
little dreamed of the immense wealth
which was before them. Bennett was
then glad to 60 up to New Rochelle as
Sunday resort and eat clam chowder
at the public table, where, as the pope
says, he could "damn the climate like a
lord.' David Hale's wife was one of the
most remarkable housekeepers on record,
and although he was even then moder-
ately successful, she voluntarily opened
large and fashionable boarding house,
which was well known as Mrs. Hale's.

The Seven Bibles of the World.

The seven bibles of the world are the
Koran of the Mohammedans, the Eddas
of the Scandinavian, the Try Pitikes of
the Buddhists, the Five Kings of the
Chinese, the three Vedas Of the Hindoos,
the Zendavests, and the Scriptures of the
Christians. The Koran is the most recent
of these seven bibles, and not older
than the seventh century of our era. It
is compound of quotations from the
Old and New Testameets, the Talmud
and the Gospel of St. Barnabas. The
Eddas OF the Scandinavians were first
published in the fourteenth century.
The Pitikes of the Buddhlsts contain
sublime morals and pure aspirations, but
their author lived and died in the sixth
century before Christ. There Is nothing
of excellence in these sacred books not
found in the Bible. The sacred writings
of the Chinese are call the Five Kings,
skiing" meaning web of cloth or the wrap
that keeps the threads in their place.
They contain the best sayings of the best
sages on the ethico- political duties of
Life. These sayings cannot be traced to
period higher than the eleventh century
B. G.. The three Vedas are the most
ancient books of the H1ndoos, and it is
the opinion of Max Muller, Wilson,
johnson and Whitney thst they are not
older than eleven centuries B. G. The
Zendavesta of the Persians is the grand
est of all sacred books next to our Bible.
Zoroaster, whose sayings it contains, was
born in the twelfth century B. G.. Moses
lived and wrote his Pentateuch fifteen
centuries B. c., and therefore has clear
margin of 800 years older than the most
ancient of the other sacred writings.

MY LITTLE WOMAN.

A homely cottage quaint and old,
Its thatch grown thick with green and gold
And wind-sown grasses;
Unchanged it stands in sun and rain,
And seldom through the quiet lane
A footstep passes.
Yet here my little woman dwelt,
And saw the shroud of winter melt
From meads and fallows;
And heard the yellow-hammer sing
A tiny welcome to the spring
From budding sallows.
She saw the early morning sky
Blush with tender, wild-rose dye
Above the larches;
And watched the crimson sunset burn
Behind the summer plumes OF fern
In woodland arches.
My little woman, gone away
To that far land which knows, they say,
No more sun-setting!
Iwonder if her gentle soul,
Securely resting at The goal,
has learnt forgetting.
My heart wakes up and cries in vain,
She gave me love, l gave her pain
While she was living;
know not when her spirit fed,
But those who stood beside her SAID,
She died forgiving.
My dove has found better rest,
And yet love the empty nest
She left neglected;
l tread the very path she trod,
And ask-in her new home with God,
Am Iexpected?
If it were but the Fathers will,
To let me know she loves me still,
This aching sorrow
Would turn to hope, and l could say,
Perchance she whispers day by day,
'He comes tomorrow.
I linger in the silent lane,
And high above the clover plain,
The clouds are riyen;
Across the fields she used to know
The light breaks, and the wind signs low,
Loved and forgiven"
