The CONSERVATION, az Geld.

(SenatOr n. Z. Hill IN y. \. RevieW.j
The consumption Of gold for other than
monetary purposes in Europe, America and
Australia has more than quadIupled in thirty
years, and has quite treb:ed III twenty years.
IT is more than five times what it was half @
century ago. The great mass Of gold which
has flowed from the mines has been absorbed
in the same opulence and luxury of the
times which have swallowed up the flood of
gems, great in volume beyond any former
precedent, from the diamond fields of South
Africa, and increasing prices will be quite
as likely to whet the appetite for both as to
check it. Five-siztts of the current
production of gold is absorbed in the arts
and manufactures, in the western
world and in British India A part
of the remaining sixth is lost in the wear Of
coins and by fires, shpwrecks and forgotten
boards. What il left to increase the stock Of
gold money in proportion to the increase of
population, exchanges, and wealth Of the
worids 1t is possible that the production Of
gold may increase. 1t is also possible that it
may decrease as 10 actually has been decreas-
ing for many years; but there is no uncer-
tainty about the consumption Of gold, which
is sure to grow peIi passu with the growing
opaAence and luxury Of the world. It has
trebled within the past twenty years. and If
it only doubles within the next twenty years
it will exceed the production, even at the ex-
IRENE rate which it attained when tie Cali
fornia and Australia out-turn was at its
highest point.

the prairies of the west and I rise or sit

dom and loss of my life, 1 do not consider
there can be, for one moment, any ques-
ton. No, sir. The might of the tyrant might
crush my bleeding heart under the iron
heels of pitiless despotism, but it never
could chain my pulsing life; it never could
fetter my living body, sir!" he shouted in q
burst Of beautiful enthusiasm, "sir, before I
would bow to the will of any living creature

just then the doors Of the small parlors
where the caucus was in session opened, and a
wild-eyed, resolute-loo1ing woman of 80
bright summers, wearing a sun-bonnet and
severe dress, looked in, glanced around until
her eyes fell upon the orator, and then she
said never word, but simply extended her
arm in a tone-countenance more in anger
than in sorrow, and crooked her forefinger
once, twice, thrice. Then she disappeared
silently as she had burst upon the impassioned
scene. Mr. lebanon nervously felt in
his hip-pocket for his watch, and re-
marking in a somewhat desultory
and embarrassed fashion, that he had an ap-
pointment to meet man who wanted to sell
him a pair of chestnut horses and buck
board, hurriedly left the assembly. A dali
silence fell upon the caucus like damp COW
erlet, and in a few moments the sad, monot-
onous nocturne, as of man walking the floor
with weeping infant drifted in from the di-
rection OF Mr.. Telamon's palatial wigwam,
mingled at irregular intervals with sporadic
cases of a wonan's voice, not sweet and low
exactly, but rather tart and appetizing- like,

was greatly surprised at the position taken
by Hooker, and on my return to Washington
went Immediately TO Gen. HalIeclI's Office
and reported the interview, with q suggestion
that as Gen. Hooker was waiting for orders
it seemed to be expedient that there should
be no delay in sending them After listen
ing to my report Gen. Hailecll replied
''There is not word of truth in the state
nents he has made to you;" then reaching to
his secretary he took out bunch of gapers
and read several communications which had
passed between Hooker and the president
from which it appeared that Hooker's idea
was, during the absence Of Lees army, to
make an attack upon and capture Rich
nlond. The president had replied in nearly
these words, which were strongly impressed
upon my memory: General, you may be
right, but it seems to me you are wrong. 1
think it would be q poor exchange to give
Washington for Richmond L, as you say,
the enemy has scattered himself in long, thin
lines, with one flank resting at fredericksburg
and the other on the Potomac, why can't you
keep your shoulder well up to him; break
through his lines and beat him in detail: this
it seems to me, would be a,much better course
After reading these papers Gen. Halleck put
on his cap and left the Office He returned in
about half an hour and quietly remarked:
Hooker will get his orders" In about two
days announcement was made that Meade
had been placed in command Of the army.

MISTAKEN FOR Confidence Men.
New York SJIn.1

Gen. W. Il. Slocum and Gen. McMabon
have recently returned from an inspection of
the Soldiers home at Dayton, Ohio. On Sat-
urday morning they stopped at Philadelphia
for breakfast, aud, while waiting at the
Broad street station for the signal to board
their special car, Gen. Mcmahon observed a
man whom he thought he recognized as an
acquaintance. The general, being Of a social
turn, eyed his man, and then approached him
and shook hands cordially, saying:
'tHow DO you do, Mr., Mr."
"Bradford," obligingly replied the stranger.
"Of New York, if 1 remem5er!" continued
Gen. McMahon affably.
''No, of Bryn Mawr," responded the
stranger.
''Ah, yes-Bryn Mawr. had forgotten
Glad to see you. When did you get to townp'
Just then Gen. Slocum came up. He had
caught the name, and recollected a Bradford
who served in his command during the war
"Why, hello" exclaimed Gen. Slocum with
effusion, delighted to see you. My name
is Slocum, you are Bradford, of Bryn Mawr.
Knew you well during the war. IL isn't pos
sible you have forgotten nleY'
Bradford meanwhile had edged toward
policeman in the depot. "I can't say, Mr.
Slocum, that I remember you or your
friend,n said he, ''but I don't propose to join
you in any kind of game this morning.
Fact is knew you both to be confidence
operators from the frs; moment saw you"
The policeman, who he'd evidently "caught
on" made grab for the two gentlemen,
who rushed for the special car that was just
about moving off. As they scamhsed on
board the policeman dashed for the telegraph
office. The special car, however, made no
stop, and the gentlamen haFeso far escaped
the lookup.

A stranger who was hanging around the
state fair grounds yesterday morning acted
in manner to attract the attention of q
policeman, who proceeded to make some in
quiries touching his business.
"Its all right, officer-an right" replied
thednan as he rested his back against the
fence. sfMy names White-Jim White, of

'That's satisfactory"
"And reached here only two hours ago,
after walking most of the way. I'm here to
take this thing al in"
"Yesn
"Last time was here to the fair only had

time I've got S22, and nobody gets a cent.
There's 81 in each boot, Sc in my undershirt
pocket, and the rest is sort o. scattered around
promiscuously in my various pockets"

sYou bet! Last time was here it cost all
my cash to buy fodder. See that bag? Well.
I've got four ioaves of bread, ten pounds of
meat, and thirty-two boiled eggs in there for
fodder, saying nothing of pickles and crack
ers. don't reckon any restaurant will get
ahead Of me''
"You are well fixed, indeed"

calf here. The three of US are going to sleep
together in the stall, and that will save lodg-
ings. I've got my watch tied to my pocket,
neither dust nor wet can hurt my clothes,
and If any one goes for me I've got lot of
pepper to throw in his eyes"

EVOLUTION IN TEACHING.
New Appliances and Paraphernalia
OF Schools and Colleges.


New York SUM-
"'There has been evolution in both the
methods and implements of teaching" said
Principal B. D. l. Switzerland, of grammar
school No. 9. even chalk has evoluted.
The old-fashioned chalk was an ungainly
lump, and it was always problem whether
it would make q thick mark or thin one,
or in fact, any mark. Now we have chalk
IN the form of pencils which some ingenious
Yankee has covered with varnish, so
that writing may be put upon the black
board with thin or shaded lines as neatly
as you can write with pen, and without
soiling the fingers. Blackboards have evo-
iuted too. Instead Of the old-fashioned
painted boards, rough and saturated with
chalk, we have got great stooe states, and
silica 5 tcS of all sizes on which it is a pleas
ure to lite. School furniture has also been
the subio Of evolution. Instead of the an
cient, Uncomfortable benches with DO backs,
there is q great variety of school furniture,
made of smooth wood, and tolerably COM
Portable. The best arrangement is the sepa-
rate desk and chair placed so that the teacher
can pass through the class and reach each
pupil.
''Even the slate pencil has been improved.
The clumsy German clay pencils have been
replaced by clear soapstone pencils, some Of
them enclosed in 'wond-ii1e lead pencils,
which make white mark on the slate, dono6
scratch and do not soil the fingers. These
are TRIES, but they show how even in little
things there is Improvement. And there are
many improvements in weightieT matters
The heating and ventilating Of the schools
are now carefully looked after, whereas in
former years they were never thought Of
School buildings are now constructed with
special reference to 4 constant supply Of fresh
air, with tho least possible discomfort from
cold currents of air.
Gin text books the progress has been rapid.
There IS now 4 great variety to choose from.
The list Of supplies authorized by the board of
educatiOa comprises over a thousand articles,
and is good-sized pamphlet. Each princi-
pal has large variety to select from. Gen
orally his selection is approved by the local
boards. There are, for instance, over thirty
different kinds of arithmetics and about the
same number of different text books on his
tory and geography Other branches Of study
have improved text books. These are pre-
pared with elegant Typography and profuse
illustrations unknown to the scholars of past
times. There is not, as yet, much apparatus
supplied in the public schools for teaching
natural philosophy and chemistry, and the
want OF it IS Eeenly felt. Even the DISPOSE
ton to furnish such apparatus by private
subscription is somewhat interfered with by
the strict rules of the board relating to the
collection of money from pupils But in the
city college and other similar institutions
there IS very ample supply of costly appa-
ratus fer Illustration in the higher branches.

The Irishmen were aggressive. They looked
upon the peaceful one with a careless indif-

acquainted was not accepted by the elderly

the Irishmen-the larger of the two-again
