What Is Houe,,

The value Of a commodity limits its
quantity. Anything which can be
obtained in a limited quantity, with a
certain ascertAinable amount of labor,
J and which is divisible, will serve the
purpose Of money. Furs have been
employed in some countries as money,
cattle in others-ss in the "Iliad.y in
the estimation Of the respective value
OF the shields Of Diomedes and Gla-
Gus, the one worth nine oxen. the 9TH
er hundred oxen-bricks of tea in
Tartary, cowries in Africa, rock salt in
Abyssinis. other African tribes cal
culate in ndestes, q money of the mind
which has no substance corresponding
to it, but the value contained in which
has been sufficiently ingrained in their
minds to answer the purpose of a
measure of value. Bullion is chosen
because it complies with these two con-
ditions, difficulty of acquisition and di.,
visibility, better than any known sub.
stance. Is it not strange that we
should turn this servant into our mas.
ter and elevate that which is a mere
medium for avoiding the inconven.
fences of barter into an indispensable
necessary Of life, hardly secondary to
food and clothing? If by some con
vulsion of nature the precious metals.
gold and silver, were utterly DESTROYED,
the world will be impoverished by the
loss Of commodity on the discovery
and manufacture of which much labor
and time has been expended, but
the only result would be that we
should have recourse to some other
contrivance. The main business of
life would 60 on as before, and the
only difference would probably be
that we should be obliged to have re-
course to paper currency. based on
whatever might be found, after care
full consideration, to be the most con-
venient or least inconvenient standard
value The question would be, as it
is now, question of remedying the
Inconvenience of barter by provi-
ding some means of fixing prices.
That would be all.- Fiscount .Sher.

Arab Bali Plav.

About fifteen Arab boys and men
some of the latter with white boards
some with sabers, some with guns slung
across their shoulders, were tossing a
leather ball about as big as an orange.
One would take it, let it fall, and send
it into the air with blow of his foot;
all the others rushed to catch it before
it fell. The one who caught it repeated
the action of the first; and SO the group
of players, always following the bali,
were in constant movement from one
point to another. The curious part Of
it was that there was not word nor q
cry nor smile among them. Old men
and boys, all were equally intent upon
the game, as upon some necessary La
Dor, and only their painting breath and
the sound Of their feet could be heard.

LOCAL MATTERS.
PoDIIam's PeccadiIlO.

Some time ago il was given out that
Colonel John Il. Popham was wanted on a
warrant issued 10y United States Commi,-
~ioncr VI. +. Plcasant>. charging him with
forgery and cmbczzIemcnt. The warrant
Wa, returned with an endorsement to the
effect that Colonel Popham was not resi-
dent Of the state Of Virginia. md it
vas then forwarded to United states
District Attorney {. -. Corkhill, OF
Washington, but no arrest was made
by this officer. II was soon after an
nounccd that Colonel Popham had r.
signed hi, Office ~ superintendent OF the
iOldine-room Of the House OF Representa-
tiyc-. and that successor 10 the office Of
clerk u the United States Court here,
which he also held. had been appointed 10y
Judge Robert W. Hughes. The amount
Of money named in the warrant was
p. 100. These facts were all given to the
public at the time i'm the DiSpufch.
Last Saturday the amount Of deficit was
made good by Colonel Popham'S friends,
ana the warrant was quashed; Whercupon
certain Washington papers yesterday stated
that Colonel Popham had rctTncdt 10 wash
ington from Richmond, having saii,fac-
torily arranged the matter between himself
and the courts, adding that the press had
greatly exaggerated the matter and had
made sensation " il. This wa, certainly
not done in Richmond, only the naked
fact. having been stated. Furthermore,
Colonel Popham has not been in Richmond
since the issuance of the warrant
II appears that the amount OF money
