THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.


The call for n statement OF the conditics
OF the national banks at the close OF bust
ness July 1 contains, for the first time, a
note to the president or cashier OF the bank
addressed that, under the head OF specie,
they report the amount OF silver coins SEP.
arately, instead OF the aggregate, as has
always been done. This request is made
with a view to getting accurate statisticss
as to the location OF silver. 1t is proposed
to ascertain the extent Of the use and the
distribution Of the various forms OF money.
One OF the more immediate purposes is to
aid the treasurer to get the minimum OF
silver coin nitc circulation. In his opinion
there are, at least, $50, 900, 900 of frac-
tlonal silver which the people want and ,
which the treasury is very willing to put in
circulation. Public convenience demands
an increased supply Of minor coin in sew
eral portions of the country, and the treas
urer proposes to ascertain where the sup
ply is short, and to make every effort to !,
get the coin out of the treasury vaults and )
into active circulation.
The commissioner OF agriculture has ap-
pointed Prof. NJ. S. Kern to be forestry
agent for the agricultural department.
Kern is a distinguished landscape gardener
OF Columbia, Mo-, and author OF several
works on rural gardening.

Degenerate SONS Of Statesmen,


Washington Letter to Philadelphia Times.
Any one who attends the Presidents
receptions is struck by the physical con-
trast between the prominent statesmen
OF the day and their hopeful sons. 1t is
we'll known that all the United States
Senators, with three exceptions, and
nearly all the able men in the House of
Representatives are above the aver
age height, and OF very ample proper
tiOns.
They are self -made men, and required
all the vitality or their large frames to
raise themselves in the world They
are an honor to the White House, and
lend dignity to the receptions. But
what a pitiful lot are their Wretched lit
tie dudes of sons, with their spindle
legs, dWarfed frames, sunken chests,
and col0rless ces-ambitionless, dissi-
Dated, worthless, without even manly
vice.
There are some marked exceptions,
but the average society young man as
seen at the White House is anything
but an object of admiration. 1t is a
common sight to see handsome stately
Girl with one of these little objects trot-
fling across the room at her side, scarce
IL reaching her shoulders. That wo-
men don't admire the puny things is
proved by the rarity of marriage in

Where Song Mrltaru lnt Ide,a.

"Some melodies seem to be born Of
the people," said Harry Kennedy, the
song writer, land it pays to listen to
whistling boys and humming girls. This
is the way new strain of music IL
caught sometimes, and it is often the be.
ginning of popular song. The tune q,
the words of wait Till the Clouds Roll
By had vagabond life through the
country before the man who made q
fortune out of it put it into a permanent
shape.
when new tune gets going, If you
watch and listen, you will find that it il
sung in new time and changed tones by
hundreds of persons who make tn,
change unconsciously, and, because they
are more pleasing. This is where a song
writer gets his ideas. It is a good plSr
to walk through the crowd that has Just
come out from an operetta, and cstct
the variations of some of the more catch
ing tunes. 1t takes quick ear and Q
retentive memory to make the best us,
of points gained in this way. y."-New Yorl

HEALTH HINTS.

For sprains, some physicians highly
recommend wet clay bound about the
joint, while others immerse the part,
when it is possible to do so, in water as
hot as it can be borne for twenty min
utes, followed by bandaging and rest.
Everybody has cure for sore throat,
but simple remedies appear to be most
effectual. Salt and water is used by
many as a gargle, but little alnmn and
honey dissolved in sage tea is better. An
application of cloths wrung out of hot
water and applied to the neck, changing
as often as they begin to cool, has the
most potency for removing Inflammation
of anything we ever tried. 1t should be
kept up for number of hours; during
the evening is usually the most conven-
lent time for applying this remedy.
Hundreds of women all over the
country are sufferers from neuralgia to
such an extent, in many cases, as to find
life burden. The following extract
from the British Medical Re0ie,o gives one
solution as to the cause: ''There is no
recognized reason why of late years neu-
ralgia of the face and scalp should have
increased so much in the female sex as
compared with our own. There is no
doubt that 1t is one of the most common
of female maladies-one of the most
painful and difficult of treatment. 1t is
also cause of much mental depression,
and leads more often to habits of intem-
perance than any other. This growing
prevalence of neuralgia may to some ex-
tent be referred to the effects of cold
upon the terminal branches of the nerves
distributed to the skin, and the reason
why men are less subject to it than
women may, to great extent, think,
be explained by the much greater pro-
lection afforded by the mode in which
the former cover their heads when they
are in the open air. 1t may be observed
that the surface of the head which is
actually covered in man is at least three
times that which fashion allows to a
woman; indeed, the points of contact
between the hat or bonnet and the head
in the latter arc so irregular as practi-
cally to destroy any protection which
might otherwise be afforded. If l were
to report to the journals case OF facial
neuralgia cured on the principle of pro-
tecting the lateral and frontal surface of
the face as well as the superior part of
the scalp, it might excite a certain
amount of ridicule. 1 can assure you,
however, that my patient considers that
her case ought to be reported; for she
says that, if we cannot do much for neu-
ralgia with our prescriptions, we ought
to oppose fashion when we find it preiu-
dicial to health and productive of suf-
fering."

cred in a moment. He had sunk, as 1
thought, to rise no more, but as he
reached his knees he braced himself for
one supreme effort. He slowly raised
his pistol, rested il on his arm and took
aim. He halted moment, passed his
haud over his face as If to clear the
blood from his eyes, and then resumed
the position to shoot. Zollicoffer ele-
vated his pistol. At that moment Mar
ling fired his third shot. As he did so 1
saw Zollicoffer's right hand jerk up. The
ball had struck the guard and inflicted
slight wound on one of HE fingers. He
lowered his weapon.
At this moment Marling fell over on
his face and Zollicoffer turned and walked
up Cherry street, and to the Banner. As
he passed me | looked at his face. 1t
was unmoved. l followed him. A
crowed had gathered about Marling, who
was, MS l thought, dead. Mr.. Zollicoffer
sent for physician and had his hand
dressed. He spoke but little Marling
was carried to his room in what was
thought to be dying condition. The
ball had entered just above the right
eye, ranging outward and breaking the
skull, He lay at deaths door for weeks,
but finally appeared to be recovered.
But his health was shattered, and Presi-
dent Pierce sent him as consul to Guate-
mala, not only as a reward for political
services, but in the hope that the climate
would revive him. 1t did not, however,
and he died there, and, as many think,
the injury received in the duel hastened
his death. No legal prosecution grew
out of the affair"
