Success of the Scheme for Putting Sill
yer in Circulation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Treasurer
Jordan said to-day that the policy
adopted by the Treasury Department
to secure a better circulation of silver
coin is meeting with gratifying sue
cess. During the month of August
just ended, there was paid out from
the different sub-treasuries 81 ,677 ,444
in standard dollars, and 81, 1855 in
fractional silver coin, which amounts
were largely in excess of the cores
pOnding month last year. Mr.. Jordan
says the withdrawal of one and two
dollar notes from circulation was
made necessary by the rapid accumu-
latiOn of silver in the sub-treasuries.
1t was expected in this way to create
a demand for silver coin. That the
plan was successful is shown by the
large output of silver during the past
month. So far no formal complaints
or protests against the withdrawal OF
one and twO-dollar notes have been
made. Applications have, however,
been received for large quantities Of
small notes. In each case answer has
simply been made that the issue OF
those notes has been suspended fol
the present. Treasury officials ex'
press themselves as much encouraged
by the present state of the finances
and predict an Improvement in the
general business Of the country.

FROM almost every section of mid
die Tennessee there are complaints Of
drouth. There has not been Il good
general rain over the State for about
seven or eight weeks. Some parts
have had very good local rains with
in that time, but at this writing there
is general complaint Of dry weather.
Corn fields everywhere are very
much. parched, pastures are drying
up, and there has been little or no
preparation for wheat sowing, and
can be none until we have general
rains. The army worm has made its
appearance in Rutherford county, we

In THE discussion of the negro
question instigated by the Nashville
American that paper has used great
many spiteful epithets, and a num-
Der of other papers throughout the
State have been just as naughty in
their retorts at the American. We
have never understood the American
as advocating social equality, and
many of the papers have been unjust
in charging such upon it. We regard
the springing of tbe question and its
discussion as ill-timed, and prOduc-
tive of anything but good to the

anybody else. Better let it &iOne, for

ruR RnERGEnox COURSE.
Lecture BY Henry J. Fleischner At
The Church OF The RedeeIper.

Lecture BY Henry J. Fleischner At
The Church OF The RedeePer.
Dr. Henry J. Fleischner, who delivered the
emergency lecture yesterday afternoon in the
lecture room of the Church Of the Redeemer,
took up the subject of commissions; the va1i-
GUS kinds and their treatment.
Apoplexy is the most sudden and for it
little can be done excepting putting the pa
tient in bed. Uremia is best treated with
hot bath with cold applied to the head, the
patient being allowed plenty of fresh air.
For epileptic commissions nothing can be done
better than to give the patient air and keep
the head cool and the feet warm. In all
cases never control the commissions, but let
them take their course. Hysteria is stopped
by sudden shock.
The commissions which children are liable
to are of three kinds; essential, symptomatic
| and sympathetic.
| The first is very dangerous being almost
always fatal. 1t must first be found which
| kind of CONFUSION is to be treated which is
| difficult and requires time. Sympathetic
| commissions are those to which teething
| children are liable and the child should be
| plunged Immediately in hot water and dosed
with bromide of potash. The symptomatic
are due to disease and are indicative of scar
| let fever and some other disease which has a
long course to run.
Coma is a sort of stupor or faintness caus-
ed by congestion of the brain; the patient
| should be rubbed vigorously.
| Syncope is its opposite and can be cured by
| causing the patient to lie with his head lower
| than the feet.
The next topic was the different modes OF
suffocation from coal gas, etc. In all these
cases artificial respiration should be resorted
to- The method of barrel rolling for the
drowned man suggested. =
The last subject was the Group. Dr.
| Fleischner recommended that no emetics be
used for the Group with the hoarse cough, as
| it is caused by disease of no organ that will
hurt the child. On the contrary true Group
is dangerous, being an insidious disease and
almost always fatal

Washington Territory, the Puget Sound
country, British Columbia, and Idaho will be
visited, the party returning through Utah,
the same as the others. The scenery upon
the Columbia river, around Puget Sound and
throughout that region is magnificent, and

Mountains, southern California, the Yosemite
Valley, the Pacific Northwest with its grand
mountain scenery, the great plains, Great

and the Yellowstone National Park also, if
