The fact that only three of the 2565 couples

him to think that ''the state of mind which

THE MONEY OF THE FUTURE.

In Wednesdays LIGHT it was our purpose
to show that the national policy Of the remote
future would infalliby be free trade. To-day
we propose to put spoke in the wheel of
the Greenback party by showing that the
future money OF the Republic, the standard
dollar Of the Government, must infallbly be
of paper. We do not propose to disturb ex-
listing relations, nor in any sense inaugurate
the greenbaek dollar as the probable unit of
an early day, but to give it finally the post of
honor. Silver has always been favorite
money. The legal tender dollar Of to-day
was the pet Of the fathers of the Republic
BY the remorseless vigor of the laws OF trade
it is hewn down low in the nineties, reposine
in vain on fallible Congre ssional edcts, for
Congress with zeal that has never abated
has squared it with the crisis of every era.
since the money revolt was first instituted.
Condensed within the compass of a nut
shell, the following is the true gospel OF
money;
I. II is a standard Of value, established and
declared by competent authority.

Iiepjamln's Domestic Ii 10

The illness of Judah Z. Benjamin, which
has caused him to abandon his law practice,
has brought out the following bit OF gossip,
which appears in the indianapolis Journal;
"Benjamin's domestic life was unfortunate.
His wife. II beautiful woman. had a cloud
upon her reputation. MIR. Benjamin, who
then lived in New Orleans, used all the de.
vices OF intellect, money and personal pres.
tige to have her received in good society
to no purpose. He gave magnificent par.
ties, to wi ich all the men in New Orleans
went, but at which not u womai appeared.
He went to Washington as senator from
ment, and repeated his endeavor to secure
favor for his wife, with no sue.
cess. She went to Paris, determined
never to return to the United States.
Again, at the auction of her elegant house
hold goods, he said bitterly to friend that
he was bankrupt in purse, heart, and repu-
tation. Mrs. Benjamin refused to live
away from Paris. Mr.. Benjamin felt OBJ
liged to live in London, and he paid her
frequent visits and INDUCED her without
limit" This story is wholly untrue. Mr..
Benjamin's wife had no cloud upon her
reputation. On the contrary, she was one
OF the most accomplished and estmable
ladies IN New Orleans. She belonged TO
family of wealth, and moved in the highest
&C nal circles Mr., Bcujamn's marital
experience, however, was brief aud unfor.
tunate. He was married with great pomp
and splendor one day, and his wife left
him and returned to her parents the next.
II was said that the cause was the same
that led to the early separation of Charles
Sumner and wife.
