What is Money.

The value of a commodity limits
its quantity. Anything which can
be obtained in a limited quantity,
with a certain ascertainable amount
of labor, and which is diyIsible, will
serve the purpose of money. FurS

tries as money, cattle in others-as
in the "Iliad," in the estimation OF
the respective values of the shields OF
DiOmedes and Glaucus, the one
worth nine oxen, and the other a
hundred Oxen-bricks of tea in Tar

purposes of a measure of value. Bull
lion is chosen because it complies
with these two conditions. difficulty
of acquisition and divisibiIity, better

not strange that we should turn this
servant into our master, and elevate
chat which is a mere medium for
avoiding the Inconvenience of bar
ter into the Indispensable necessary
of life. hardly secondary to food and
clothing? If by some CONFUSION of
nature the precious metals, gold and
silver, were utterly destroyed, the
world would be impoverished by the
loss of commodity on the discovery
and manufacture of which much
labor and time had been expended,
but the only result would be that we
should have recourse to some other
contrivance. The main business of
life would go on as before, and the
only difference would probably be
that we should be obliged to have re-
course to paper currency, based en-

HOME NEWS.
The Doings of Yesterday Briefly
Told.
The Usual Murders, Fires and Deeds
of Violence.


Washington, April 19.-District At
torney Corkhill to-day received a note
from Guiteau, stating that Scoville has
nothing to do with him or his affairs,
and that Chas. II. Reed has entire
charge of his case in banc. He also re-
ceived a notice from Scoville that he
would be ready to argue the case May
10. The district attorney told Reed
he would not take notice of either COM
%munlcation, but when the case Is called
in the general term, whoever is present
will be recognized.
1t is generally conceded that Ban
croft Davis is soon to leave the state
department to return to the court of
claims. Judge Mott is absent, ill, in
North Carolina, and as the law requires
a majority Of the court TO give judg-
ment, three judges o here are obliged
to agree, one case cannot be decided.
Judge Davis is worn out with work in
the state department will be glad to re-
turn to his former place on the bench.
The position was held open for Hunt,
but he preferred to go to Russia.
The report that the president was
dissatisfied with the conduct Of the
state department by Frelinghuysen is
authoratiyely denied. Arthur is not
disturbed by criticisms in regard to the
Irish American suspects.
There is no member of the cabinet
more firmly fixed than Frelinghuysen.
A member of the cabinet is authority
for saying that the president said on
signing the commissions of Teller and
Chandler, 'he felt qualified to think
that he had no wranglers in his cabinet
and to his entire sati sfaction, he hoped
there would be no necessity for further
changes.
The foreign affairs committee are de-
termined to bring Shipherd to the book,
and intend to put him through a rigid
examination.
The republicans are well pleased with
their work in the house to-day, and are
in better spirits tonight than for a
long time. They say even should they
lose the congressional elections this
fall on the Pacific coast, through anger
at the veto, q successful working Of the
present bill, if it is signed, will put the
party in shape for 'S4.

London, April 1S.-News of a respite
was communicated to DR.. Lamson yes
terday.
The daily Telegraph says: "What
has not been shown, and what must be
shown, if the convict is TO be reprieved,
is that he was irresponsible when he
plotted and carried out a horrid MUIR
der"
The Standard says; 1.-The respite
must be regarded simply as a further
act of courtesy towards the United
States"
The solicitors Of DR.. Lamson have
made afidavits that the prisoners rela-
tives informed them, prior to the trial,
that Lamson's mind had been destroyed
by morphIa. The above line Of defense
they say, however, was not adopted at
the trial because the prisoners counsel
was misled by statements of medical
experts. 1t was decided that the &C
tual defense was good and sufficient
without touching upon the mental con-
dition of the prisoner.
The friends of DIR. hanson are not
without a hope that the prisoner may
escape the death penalty despite the
statement of H~arcourt's letter.

Washington, April 18.-Secretary
Hunt received a dispatch from Hof-

under date Of March 81, enclosing a
letter from the chief engineer, Melville,
dated June 81, and written at a point
on his way to the mouth Of the Lena,
333 miles beyond Yakutsk. Hoffman
states, ''the governor Of this port ap-
pears having shown much good will in
sending your orders of January 10Th to
Melville, as Estafette had been ordered
and paid for to Yakotsk only. The
speed with which it went through is
quite remarkable. Lieut.. Danenhouer
telegraphs me under date of January
2Sth from Krasmojarok, about 1900
versts from st. Petersburg that he may
be expected here about April Goth.
Chief Engineer Melville in a letter re-
ferred to says he has every reason to
hope to find DeLong and his people.

st. Louis, April ia report just
gained circulation here that the Ford
brothers who killed Jesse James were
hung at st. Joe this morning. Upon
inquiry this proves to be false, but in
Quiry elected the fact that the grand
jury found an indictment against them
for murder in the first degree this noon
and about an hour later the boys were
brought into court, pleaded guilty and
we're sentenced to be hanged on the
10Th Of May.
Sheriff Timberlake and squad, and
the Kansas City police, heavily armed,
arrived on the midnight train Sunday
and attended the trial. They expected
that on receipt of the pardon, the boys
be quietly taken to Kansas City before
day break. There they have friends,
it is feared they will be in danger at
st. Joseph, the jail being closely guard
ed during their confinement, and no
suspicious applicants admitted. Mrs.
James to-day received her husbands
arms by order of the probate court, and
returned with them to Kansas City
tonight.
Later.-Governor C%rittenden granted
unconditional pardon to the Ford
brothers, who this afternoon pleaded
guilty Of having killed Jesse James at
st. Joseph, and sentenced to be hung
May 10th.
