the Cumberland Presbyterian Church nearly
forty years ago and has ever been an exem-
pIary member He believed that much If
religion consisted in charity, and in the days
OF his prosperity he gave with a bpunteous
hand, and deplored his mistortunes more On
account of the poor and needy than his own
With a fsith immovabIe and love deep
and a 7iep irIu he pressed on in the path Of
charity, which was the ruling principle al
his life. In that other home which clusters
around the bearthstone and which displays
the best features Of our beat life, W. B. Wal
dram developed all the gentle warmth OF mis-
sfectionate nature. He was loving
husband and father. But as tha wife and
children with bleeding hearts and fearful
'eyes sorrow over his grave they -houid he

the deceased, his moral worth and many
noble traits Of character. he Will be sadly
missed in the community in which be has
resided for over fifty year,, and in which
he has Done 50 much 10 guide public senti-

dram was prompt and punctual in business,
social with his friends, and always true and
reliable. His heart throbbed with good will
toward al and i'll will toward no one. But
few OF the old pioneers are left. Since the
lrosts- OF last autumn began to paint the
foliage of the summer leaves with the bues
OF decay the fell destroyer, who is waiting

nUREAU CROP REPORTS.

As an authority in crop matters the Wash
ington agricultural bureau has been neither
a burning nor shining light The commits
siouer says he could only do what the So,
900 allowed him last year permitted; he
asks for this year $1,000 and promises to
make his reports and estimates "a good job"
If he could supply reports that could be
r,lied upon as to the acreage and monthly
cindiesn of wheat, cotton, and go Oh, with
Comparisons against former years, the
100000 would be we'll spent. Good relia-
bic statements of this kind are favorable to
legitimate business, by decreasing the ele-
meat Of uncertainty, and so decreasing the
power Of gambling margin-operators to carry
on their nefarious traffic. Oae thing that
makes every fair and upright business
man in favor of obtaining correct
crop reports is that it saves the
agricultural producer from gross though
in our present Ignorance Of current
crop detail, unavoidable injustice. What
can be more opposed to our sense Of right
than to see, after a crop has left the pro-
ducers' hands, an advance arise, the benefit
OF which never reaches "the hard-f sons
of toll" whose industry and watchful care
have produced the crop. The sleek, and
scheming, and gambling specnlator gets
wealth out of what cost him no drop Of
sweat, no day of toll. In proportion as the
condition and amount of yield of a crop is
known the farmer gets that Just reward OF
his labor which IL his duesa-

And an aching heart and withered life you ask

IN&ERSOLL AND hELAGlOS.
After all it seems that Ingerson is lit
erary thief, who has made his reputation by
pilfering the beautiful ideas Of others. He
has presumed too much on the ignorance of
the public, IS he never delivers a speech
Without beng detected as a brazen plagiarist.
There is little bird on the Nile which lives
by stealing food from the teeth OF the
sleeping crocodile, and it seems that Iuger
soil subsiss and feeds himself and his per-
ishing reputation by robbing the dead. He
is on land what pirates are on sea, and one
should command about as much respect as
the other The birds which have not the in
eenuity to build Il nest Of their own steal
that Of others, and Ingersoll is one OF this
class of birds. His blasphemous lectures are
the product sof Others, and asyear ago he
suddenly burst forth in rhapsody on tenn
peranee, which captured his audience. But ii
was shown that every word was stolen, rer-
batimaet HfcTutiiR,r from former citizen OF
Tennessee, Br. Gum, Of Gunn's Domestic
Medicines. Zen days ago 1ngersoll deliy-
cred funeral discourse in Washington
City over the burial of achild, and the critics
have exposed the theft OF this brazen pla-
giarist by showing that every word was
stolen. And this man, the robber of dead
mems fame, this pirate upon the great sea OF
literature, is feared by the religious world.
The secular press, whose mission it is to pub
lish the news and to keep the great religious
army posted as to the movements OF the
enemy, is condemned for Publishing the
utferances OF this great literary pirate. tits

Our business men appear likely to hevc
their attention sharply called, at an early
day, to the condition of our finances. The
New York Times calls attention to the fact
thatexchange on London is within a fraction
of the point at which shipping off gold
would become profitable. There has for some
lime been steady tendency Of our imports to
overtake our exports, for we cannot go ON
always selling and never buying; an ex-
portation of gold is inevitable, and may, pos
sibly, be brought about within a week We
h ad an exceptional demand for food products
at time our supply of them was extraordi-
narily large; at the same time much foreign
capital sought investment in American secur-.
tiles. This brought to us an unprecedented
supply of gold. We had next reduced crops,
while Europe had good ones, and heavy pur-.
chases OF American shares held abroad
sharp demand for gold in Paris. with other
causes, have now sent the exchange rate
very nearly to the point where it pays ID ex-
port gold. This fact should lead Us to take
measures for our own protection in business,
as the unsoundness of portions of our none
tary system expose us to possible difficulty.
If our currency was unifornIy one Of gold,
or its equivalent, the laws of trade would
protect us against depletion OF gold. and
circulating medium would be safe from
dangerous fluctuations. As it is, the laNscon-
dennis our government to redeem its notes
in com, and also Immediately to reissue the
edeemed notes. The two laws togethsrexr
pose the governments reserve Of gold 70 a
condition at all times uncertain, and in GER
tain contingencies exposes it TO disaster. sIf
there should be a strong demand for gold
the Times points out, sits first effect would
felt by the treasury. III the redemption
reserve were drawn down low, the govern
ment would be obliged either to enter the
open market to obtain more, which would be
Immediately exposed to withdrawal as
soon as obtained, or TO resort to the
redemption of legal-tender notes in
silver, which would be direct and powerful
blow at the public credit Our weak points
are the continued coinage Of silver into coins
seven or eight cents less on the dollar in gold
value than their denomination requires, and
our compulsory reissue of redeemed notes.
1t viii be well for business men to take note
of these things, and to be prepared for a
possible money stringency. which. when il
occurs, viii probably lead them, az matter
OF self-protecton, to demand that Congress
thall put our monetary system upon :rm
foundation, SO that every piece Of paper IS
sued by the government shall represent an
actual dollar of one hundred eenis, obtaina-
lie at all times, and safe from such threat

Trescott's Report.
To the Presid ent:

To the President:
In further response to the resolution of
the Senate OF the 18th ultimo, calling for
the correspondence between Chilli and Perm,
the secretary OF state has the honor to lay
before the President the purport of the
cipher telegram from the special envoy late
ly sent TO those countries:
Trescott, in this telegram, reports that he
had several confidential conferences with the
minister for foreign affairs of Chill; that the
CHILEAN government disclaims any intention
OF offending the government OF the United
States In the arrest of President Calderon
and his removal TO Gillian territory: that
the good offices OF the United States Will be
accepted by the Chilians; that the Chilian
authorities will facilitate conference be-
tween the United States special envoy and
the provisional government of Peru, with the
exception OF Senior Calderon. The terms OF
peace presented by Chill embrace
the following points: Absolute cession OF
the africa district, and in addition thereto
the payment of an indemnity of SO, 0O0, 000
payable in ten years, during all which time
the positive occupation of africa by Chilli is
required; and should the indemnity be I'M
paid, africa is also to be coded to Chill, and
besides this Chill is to appropriate the
guano deposits of Lober's Land. In the
event of Peru refusing the conditions named,
the Gillian government would decline any
further prefer of friendly interference from
the United States. The remainder OF this
telegram is obscure, and it is uncertain
whether the department of state is able TO
translate from the cipher the exact language,
or even to obtain the sense of the sender
For this reason, as well as from a wish to
avoid disclosing the cipher of the depart
ment, the substance only of the dispatch is
sent. Respectfully submitted
