refused to make him Governor again
he acted and talked like man OF
sense He wrote to Prof. Calderwood,
of Ohio, Sept, 80, 1881, saying: The
Prohibitionists of Ohio are hurting
the good cause of Temperance by
affiliating with the worst en- emy tenn

Refused to Pay Gold for Silver.

New York, August s.-The Nation
al Broadway Bank has refused to fur
nish its allotment of SIS, 900 of the So,
900, 900 gold which the associated
banks agreed to loan the United States
Treasurer in exchange for subsidiary
silver coin. On inquiry at the bank
to-day the following statement was
made;;" The United States Govern
ment has not asked the banks in this
city to exchange $6,ooo,ooo of their
gold for the same amount of silver
worth about $5,ooo,ooo. losing there
by to the stockholders $1,000, 900. but
such exchange has been made by all
the banks save one, without authority
ofthe stockholders and directors of the
several banks in this city and contrary
to the national currency act, under
which national banks exist. If bank
presidents can give to the Treaserer of
the United States $4,000, 900 of gold
for silver, why not give to any party
$1,000 900 900 of gold for like amnt
of silver, and lose by such exchange
SIS, 900! OuI bank has not been a
party to the exchange, neither was it
represented at the informal meeting of
bank officers when the proposition was
made to exchange gold for silver, which
silver the banks have not received,
but which is still held by the United
State Treasurer in trust for a special
committee"
Members of the Clearing House
Committee said that the action of the
Broadway Bank was unworthy of any
attention.
One member said: "It is only freak
of the bank. 1t may be true that we
have no right to make the exchange,
but since 1861 we have done many
things that were not strictly according
to the letter of the law"
The President of a prominent Wall
Street bank remarked: This scheme
has been botched from the very first.
There is no doubt about the law, and
the Broadway Bank is right in refusing
to make the exchange"

Trades For American boys.

The trades in our country, of late
years, have been almost monopolized
BY foreigners. The American boy,
however, when he does take a trade,
goes straight to the top of the ladder.
1t seems as if our boys would rather
be tourth.rate lawyers, or physicians,
than to earn their living by working
with their hands. Only the other day
read in New York newspaper of a
young lawyer in a distant city, whom
knew some years ago when resided
In that section OF the country, who lit
orally starved to death. He made
scarcely any money, was too proud to
tell of his want, lived as long as he
could on crackers and water, and was
found one day in his Office, dead from
lack of fnourishment. He should new.
er have entered the legal profession,
for he had no ability in that direction.
As farmer or a mechanic he might
have lived long, useful, and success
ful life.
No boy, of course, should enter a
trade unless he feels himself fitted for
it; but, on the other hand. he should
not, it seems to me, let the false pride
against the manual labor, which now
prevails 10 such a wide extent in our
country, prevent him from endeavor-
ing 10 do better work with his hands
than in his inmost thoughts he knows
that he can do with his head.-M

.RIEL'S SENTENCE

MONTREAL, August 4.-The fate OF
Riel was the leading topic OF conver-
sation on the streets yesterday. Many
French Canadians express the opin.
ion that his condemnation was pre-
concerated affair, and that the Judge
was not impartial in his rulings. Some
OF the more rabid declare that the
Government dare not bring Riel to
the scaffold. They also say that Pc
titions will be signed asking for RieTs
pardon on the ground that the rebel
lion was justifable. Subscription lists
are being rapidly filled to secure funds
to enable Rel to take an immediate
appeal.

Tobacco, in its raw state, or pre-
vious to sweating in bulk, is very pow
erful in its effect, and will certainly
drive vermin from the hens nest. The
whole leaves may be thoroughly dried
SO as to crumble easily, and put in the
nest of the sitting hen, as a lining un-
der the eggs. With this precaution
she will not be driven from her nest by
vermin before the time of Matching
arrives Tobacco is often erroneous

But it is really as easily raised as corn

EDITORIAL NOTES,

The Southern Exposition at
Louisville, KY, of 1855, win continue
from Angus, l5th to October s4th.
The "nckle me Davy and III
tickle you" business in politics, has
worn the partisan cloak so thin that
the angular joints of political trickery
have become plainly visible.
Those who have been receiving
lectures from our neighbor on the lit
erature introduced into their families,
should note the mess Of slush &C fur
nishes them this week in regard to the
violation OF a city ordinance.
The democratic papers are
awakening to the fact that there is a
sort Of umbilical connection between
certain democrats and republicans IN
the first congressional district. A
dextrous severing of this connection
will reduce the parties so attached to
political imbeciles and then the funer-
ais. spoken of by the NesO Century will
be in order

the time for the delivery Of the books
is sixty days past due. Promptness Is

TO THE YOUNG.

Education Is necessity; without il
you are barred from positions of honor
and trust. from the society of learning
and culture, from the enjoyment OF
the full exercise of your powers, intel
lectual, moral and esthetical and from
the attainment of the high est happi-
ness and the best good. The tune was
when only the wealthy could sfferd the
advantages of sound education. That
time is past. Young men and women
everywhere are, by industry, perse-
veranee and economy, paying their
own way through Colleges and Uni
verslties. A large number OF our stu
dents are self dependent. They attend
school and then labor at whatever
their hands finds to do, andbo continue
TILL they reach high attainments and
fitted by their learning and experience
to become skilltul in business and ac-
tive IN society. If your parents are
unable to help you, you can, if you have
health, help yourselves. All is poss,-
Bile to the industrious. persevering
young IN this country. Your success
or failue will depend upon your reso-
luton, energy, perseverance, and ability
to overcome the difficulties and to
surmount the obstacles that lie in your
way. You can if you will.

Gold Excitement IN Wyoming.

LANDER. Wy. T., July 31.-The
air here is full of gold and rumors OF
gold. Specimens of pure gold nuggets
weighing seven and elght pennywights,
pried from the rocks In Atlantic Gulch
with the blade of knife, have reach
ed here. Of such purity was the metal
that it was eagerly purchased to be
converted into breastpins, shirt studs,
and other jewelry in its native state.
Atlantic Gulch is some fifty miles south
of here in a region that has long been
noted as good depository. Whis-
pers and rumors multiply daily in re-
gard to a dazzling gold strike in this
immediate vicinity, but the exact loca-
ton has not yet been made public.
Watchful eyes and eager ears are on
the alert however, and the chances
are that the hidden treasure will be
very shortly located.

yesterday, "that my pet ca. has been

seventeen year locusts. watched
her one day creep up ON one that had

snapped it up and ate it with the
greatest possible relish Several times
since then have caught her eating
them. One of my friends, who has a
very fine fox hound, says the dog has
likewise manifested strange fondness
for the locusts. This is very unusual
circumstance, because ordinarily you
could not drag either cat or dog near
live bug, and l never knew one to
eat bug or insect, whether dead or
alive. There must be something par
ticularly luscious about the locust" :"
Several Chinese laundrymen in the
city have taken to eating the locusts.
They stew them up with rice and and
dish them up in the form of hash.
