Globe Democrat: Mr.. Beecher does
not possess to any great extent that ad-
mirable virtue of Emerson's-serenity
He turns upon his critics with a sar-
casm that is not significant of Christian
feeling. He shows himself to be nettled
by their structures. Emerson's imper-
viousness to anything of the kind was
remarkable. He would enter into no
controversies. He seemed utterly un-
concerned as TO the manner with which
what he uttered was received. 1t it was
true, he said, it would take care of it.
self. If it was not true it would be
taken care oil and demolished. The
thoughts were given to him, and he ap-
parently disclaimed all responsibility for
them. This is a height which Mr..
Beecher evidently can not reach.

Republican voters should look to
their tickets closely. We understand
that thousands of Republican tickets will
be put in circulation with Clicks
name on them for governor.
Then the notorious Sam Wood is W
to his old tricks. There never was an
election in which hsfwas Interested that
we know of that he did not issue some
kind of secret circular on the eve of ell.
ection. He has implicit faith in trick
cry. Wehaye seen one OF his circu-
lars dated at Topeka, October Goth, the
object Of which is to fool Republican
voters by having his name printed on
them as one of the congressman at large.
The circular reads as follows:
"My chances for election as one ofthe
four congressmen-at-large are daily in
creasing, and now feel confident of
my election, which can be made certain
If an honest and reasonable effort in my
behalf is made by my friends. Regard
ing you as one of my friends, write to
ask If you will please have my name
put on the anti-St. John Republican
ticket in your county, IN place of one of
the Republican nominees. care not
which one"
If Sam could make this trick win by
getting a good vote in each county he
might be elected, but the people know
his character and history so well-know
him to be an arrant humbug and adven-
turer-that there is no danger of his sue
cess. The circular will only excite de-
rision and an expression of contempt
that he could stoop to such a trick to
catch votes. However, it will be well
enough for voters to look we'll to their
tickets before voting. See that the
names OF the four Republican nominees
for congressmen-atlarge, Peters, Per
kins, Morrill, and Hanback,, are on the
tickets, and that s. N. Wood is given q
decided quietus as pay for his resort to
a miserable trick to get votes.

ROAD.

Boston Herald: The Atchison will
hardly reduce its payments to the stock
holders while the roads earnings are
increasing as they are now doing. The
Atchison has, possibly, a weak point in
its large capitalization, but Atchison is
becoming a road of great earning capaci-
ty, and parties we'll informed as to its
merits entertain no doubt of Its ability
to return a fair interest, say per cent,
on the money invested therein. The in
vestors generally do not share the senti-
ment of the street as is shown by the in
crease in the number of stockholders.
January LIST, 1879, when the capital was
$685. 600, they numbered $50, the
average holding being about 254 shares.
The next dividend, due November 18th +,
will be paid to 5,400 stockholders, the
capital being in round numbers $780,
5000, and the average holding being
about 103 shares. Since the last divi-
dend, ninety days ago. the stockholders
have increased from 4,700 to 5,400, their
individual holdings being from one
share TO 800, and the owners being
scattered all over New England; in
other words, permanent investors are
taking the place of speculative holders
of Atchison stock.

GOLD AND SILVER PRODUC.
TON

Some interest is attached to the bal
ance sheet of gold and silver production,
and coin circulation in the United
States. According TO the estimates OF
the annual report of the director of the
Mint, the production of gold in this
country for the fiscal year has been
$91 SOC, 900, and of silver, $44,7OO, 900
a decline of $1,000, 600 in gold and an
increase of 100000 in silver upon the
estimated production of the previous
fiscal year. The falling off from the
production was Occasioned by the d.
minished yield of the gold fields on the
Pacific slope, as indicated by the d.
minished deposits at the San Francisco
and Carson minis.
Theconsumption of the precious. met
ais in the United States for use in the
arts during the year is estimated at
$12,OO0,O00 of gold and 100000 of
silver, of which 100000 of gold and
$6,0OO,0 900 of silver was of domestic pro-
duction. There were issued from the
New York assay Office for the use of
manufacturers, 81 100000 more of gold
and $500. 900 more of silver bars than in
the preceding year.
Interesting tables are given in the re-
port of the amount of the coin in cir
culation. By adding the net gains in
United States coin from coinage and
from imports, less exports and the
amount used in the arts since 1878, the
estimated circulation at that time be-
ing S135, 100000 United States gold
coin and 100000 United States silver
coin, the total coin of the country is es-
timated to have been at the beginning
of the year $439, ZIG, 753 gold and $171,-
459, 766 silver-a total of $611 1856 $40,
and at the close of the year $500, 776, 1853
gold and $199, Ass, 1853 silver-total $780,
236,519, a gain of $61. 100000 in gold
coin and $2s,000.OO0 in silver. The
gains from coInages less Tecoinage, were
$sS.s14'091 in gold and 27,651 $40 in
silver, and by the imports of United
States silver coin $517,77s; but the ex-
port of United States gold coin was
$25, zoos, $50 greater than its import, and
including $2,7OOOOO used in the arts,
reduced the gain in gold coinage to
about $61, 100000.

young boy II years old, named Henry

about o'clock. The circumstances at
