Hoarding Legal Tenders

WASHINGTON C1TY, Dec. 49, 99-Considerable
interest has been shown at the treasury in
the statement attributed to Secretary Nc.
Culloch that material decrease
of the amount of legal ten
ders in circulation, and correspond,
ing increase in the amount of silver certi-
ficates is occasioned by the fact that the
legal-tenders are being boarded, while the
silver certificates were freely paid. Secre-
rary MeCulloch stated when questioned on
the subject, that he had been misquoted.
The department had no information Of the
boarding of legai-tenders by indi-
viduals or banks, but tho fact
is noticeable that throughout the
country there is disposition to retain the
legal tender in preference to the silver certi-
ficate, and there is an evident feeling that ii
possesses the greateri value Assistant Sec!
retary Coon said that this fact is specially
noticeable at the principal custom houses,

For THE HERALD.

MEssRs. EDITORS: I have heard
great deal about liens. The people
of our neighborhood are beginning
to sympathize with the poor man
of 1885. Several Of them think
if Geo. S. Mower and DR.. S. Pope
could be elected representatives,
they would surely have that law re-
pealed. A ticket ought to be run,
called Qnti-lien, which would re-
ceive almost a unanimous vote.
The man who is in favor Of liens,
would use his influence that way if
the law should be under discussion.
Mr.. says he is not going to
furnish liens this year or any other
year. He is done with liens for
ever. From this time on he is 60
ing to advance the cash to his hands,
and let them purchase their sup
plies for cash.
This is certainly a good idea.
Look at the heavy per cent. on
every thing, for tobacco to burn and
powder and shot, to shoot at game
and never kill any. We sec men
out shooting atpartridges, and they
shoot as much as one hundred
times each, and kill about a doz-
en- birds. The per cent to each one
in this outlay would be near one
dollar and twenty-five cents, a nice
effect of the lien law.
Sunday morning the rain came
down in torrents, so much SO that
Uncle predicted that all the
strength of the soil would surely be
washed so deep as never to be
brought to the surface again.
While crossing a grain field the
other evening squirrel was OBJ
served eating wheat. After eating
as much as it wanted, some was
carried away, doubtless for future
use. GHENT.

Mr.. Tillman is confident that the
Republicans have reached their
limit because no party has ever
held the government more than
twenty-four years. It must require
long course of political training
to develop such powers of argumen-
tation as Mr.. Tillman here displays.
He thinks that the machine is too
old to last long, and that it will be
destroyed by its own defects rather
than by any outside pressure. An
agreeable delusion, surely! Mr..
Tillman thinks that Judge Field is
the man to lead the Democratic
host, because he stood alone in op-
posing the legal tender decision.
Mr.. Randall, of the Augusta Ckron-
icle, says that Mr.. Tillman's idea is
not only ingenious but profound.
Judge Field has not, so far as we
are informed, been interviewed on
the subject. He may see it the
same light.

OBITUARY.

Went home in the full triumph of
of faith. on Tuesday 18th of March, in
the siXty-fourth year of her age, our
beloved mother Mrs Rosa McNinch.
After a weary invalid life of almost
twenty years, after months of mex
pressible suffering her life went out
calm and beautiful as sinks summers
sun to rest, Us dies wave upon the
shore. Early left widow and meet
ing with sad reverses Of fortune, she
raised and educated by her own eX-
ertion her five children, one son, and
four daughters. phe son who was the
pride and stay of her life fell at Gettsy-
burg. and there sleeps in his soldier
grave. The others whose faithful love
and devotion and the tender affection
of her grand children which she said
prolonged her frail life, are left weep
ing over the vacant chair, ycaruing for
the touch of vanished hand, and the
sound OF voice that is still. Her pure
christian life, her gentle cultivated
manners won for her friends innumera-
Bile, and young and old bore evidence
OF the fact by bringing tributes Of
tears and flowers to our sainted dead.
Precious mother, your room was to us
a sanctuary, your pre$e..ce a benedic-
tion-a firm devoted member of the
Presbyterian church, Your grand, beau
tiful life was an unwritten epiSt,e Of
faith. love, and perfect trust. 81.
williamson, S. c., March Goth, 1884.
Mrs. Rosa McNinch was. a most es-
timable lady, and her death though
expected, was sudden, and to her fam
lily and friends, an event Of exquisite
pain and sorrow. Our acquaintance
with her was of several years duration,
and in that time nothing but 4 Christ
ian character exhibited itself; and now
she has lain down to rest from her
tolls, her pains and her sufferings
which were many and sore, for truly
was she acquainted with griefs. En-
tering upon newer and better life
may She gnd q peace which passeth
all understanding. ED HERALD

MEssRs. EDIToRs.-One day
while alone l was looking through
some old waste papers and CHANGED
to find some of my old compost
tions. One especially drew my at
tention; the subject ''The Ruins of
Time" AS 1 gazed over the lines
in pensive thought, silently they
brought before me faces shall see
no more, one was a blessed brother
who died in the bloom Of youth.
Then the precious memory Of by
gone days come back to me like a
dream; in my time of meditation,
recalled with emotion the "sweet
hour of payer" in the old home,
where we were allassembled. This
brother would lead in the singing.
Our other brother, whose remains
are far away from this land he loved
so much, but whosebright spirit
l hope is mingling with those who
roam the fair field of the Heavenly
Eden, would read a chapter in the
old family Bible and our father
close the services by prayer. Oh,
what changes since then. When
thinking of such changes and
viewing with silent awe what a
desolating effect time has upon
every surrounding object, we are
struck with amazement at the frail-
ty and short duration, of all exist
ing creation. Every thing breathes
in US that they ere passing away,
that life is a journey, yet q journey
of unequal lengths, some are long
on the way. Storms and sunshine,
shade and light intermingle. At
length the journey ends. Bowed un-
der the weight of years, like shock
of corn fully ripe they go to the
grave. The empty chair, the vacant
seat beside the hearth stone is pain
full and gives US the solemn warn,
ing that all worldly things are mark
ed with instability. Let US strive to
spend the short space allowed here
in the acquisition Of pure and un-
defiled intelligence, that shall make
US happy here and that shall fit US
to enter that temple not made with
hands, and upon which time has no
effect; where there is neither be-
ginning of days nor end of life;
where saints immortal dwell, and
the spirits Of just men made per-
feet. X. X. X.

To Repair Damages.

Dear lady, there is probably no use
telling you that fashionable life in a
great city is a rough one on your
beauty. Late hours, loss of sleep and
mental excitement will leave you by
and by shorn of those beautiful tresses
which drew lovers around You in other
wears. Artificial substitutes can never
pass for those rich and glossy locks.
Parker's Hair Balsam will stop your
hair from falling out, restore its nat
ural color and softuess, and prove

WHY NOT?

Very many persons, of undoubt'
ed intelligence, are in favor of ma
: king nominations for county off,
GERS by primary elections; and they
are entitled to a respectful hearing,
even among those who prefer nomi-
mating conventions.
Several respectable newspapers
of this State are in fave of adopt
ing the :.primary PLAN for making
congressional nominations and
they are entitled to their opinion,
regardless of the opinions and
preferences of others.
One of our exchanges has this to
say. "We should like to see all the
candidates, from Governor down
to coroner, chosen in this way
by primary elections. Why not !?
Unless the elections are multiplied,
is it not to be feared that our peo-
pie will have some time to devote to
other pursuits than politics :? Can
it be doubted that we would better
promote the general good by hav-
ing a spring canvass, one or two
summer canyasses, and an early
fall canvass followed by a canvass
in the winter? Then let US adopt
the primary plan" or any other
plan that will keep the political
caldron eternally bubbling! ..
We are patiently listening for
some one to propose that the Presi-
dent and the members Of the eleeto-
raj college be nominated by the
primary plan? Of course a ma
jority vote should be required so
that two primary elections, at the
least, must precede a nomination.
The Republicans, too, must be in
duced to adopt the primary plan"
so as to give additional life to the
old land. Then, by nominating
our town and city councils by the
primary plan" we can safely count
on political revival such as a civ
illzed country never saw, and will
pray to be delivered from for all
ages to come.
1t may be speciously argued that
the convention plan costs less
money and consumes less time,
while it engenders less bad feeling;
but intelligent voters will not allow
themselves to be deluded. How
can we spend our money or con-
sumo; our ime to better purpose
than in saving the country? Are
we not born politicians? Do we
not talk politics from childhood,
and snuff politics on the breeze ?
Is not politics our trade, and should
we not ply our trade ? Z. a.. ....-
Seriously, is it not high time for
our people to realize that we have
too many political canvasses, and
devote themselves more unremit-
tingly to their private duties We
think so.

Col. Cash, it is said, will sue
