A Vigllant Watchman.

Rather funny incident, writes a
Washington correspondent to the Gin
cinnati Times Star, occurred at the
grounds Of the agricultural depart
ment few days ago. Senator George,
of Mississippi, who is not the most Dig
nifed looking man in the senate, went
to tie agricultural department with
young lady acquaintance. The grounds
of the department are very handsome
" laid out and ornamented with How
crs, some of which are very attractive
to passers-by. There are tho usual
notices pasted about the grounds,
Don't pick the flowers or break the
shrubbery." The young lady admired
the flowers very much, however, and
the senator. to show his gallantry and
authority, declared that she should
have some. and proceeded to gather
some for her. A vigilant and sturdy
watchmau, probably thinking to make
himself stout with the new adminie-
tration, came hurriedly to the front,
and with moro Yigor than delicacy be-
gan to hustle the offending stranger
very roughly for his violation of the
rules which were posted so plainly be-
fore his eyes. The senator, who did
not fancy this sort Of thing very much,
replied rather tartly, which only in
creased the fervor of the now thor
oughly aroused watchman. The result
was that he then and there proceeded
to put the sacred form OF the senator
under arrest.
'sYou evidently don't know who 1
am, said the senator, haughtily. '.Aly
name IS George, and am senator
from Mississippi"
Don't care q who you are, /"
was the response. II propose to car
~ out my orders and arrest whoever
violates the rules Of these here
grounds.
BY this time the senator was il a
state Of rage bordering insanity, while
his fair companion scarcely knew
whether to be alarmed or amused.
well, take me up to the aoricul-
tural department building" said the
senator when he saw that there was no
getting rid Of the jealous guardian Of
public property. II viii find some-

Oh, no. said the watchman coolly.

But Latude only made friends of rats

himself with mice when occupying the

The poet Alfiori was proud of his

Cowper was at no time so happy as

Among the other relaxations Of learn

Calvin's game of throwing dice along
q table. whereas Luther was great in
ninepins. Whom he knocked down all
the pins at a stroke his delight knew
no bounds.
Boileau was very fond of the same
game, and when he prostrated the nine
pins he was better pleased than il he
had completed his best ode.
Massillon, the preacher, used to as
scmble Oratorians and Jesuits in his
room, and set them to play OF chess to-
gether, meanwhile exhorting them new
er to engage in any less innocent war
fare.

Charlemagne's chief relaxation and

In like manner, Tasso's liveliest

Cambridge, : q correspondent of the
Boston Journal makes some sound sug.
gestions. He says: ST have read with
interest your comments on the commune
cation Of An Independent Voter on
the silver question, and ask the favor Of
making q few remarks on the general
subject.
1.-THE Journal seems to lay much stress
on an established ratio of value between
gold and silver, to be agreed to by
Britain, France, Germany, our own
country and others. For this, provided
we have a sound, reliable currency, we
see no occasion. Such a currency would
command gold and silver at all times
when wanted, and would be the very
provision necessary for international cur.
rency, which will never be anything but
gold and silver bullion. Such a cur.
rency sufficiently abundant for all the
uses of money, is the grand desideratum
on which our prosperity depends, and
should be the one aim OF Statesmen until
accomplished. It is the one thing that
woald restore and preserve the industrial
prosperity of the country without inter.
ruption for generations. At present we
have no.system Of adaptivity Of the cur
rencytto the wants OF industry, all being
guesswork aud experiment, creating one
evil and then two others in efforts TO
remedy that. For years now the cur
rency has been contracting instead OF ex-
panding with population, which ia the
whole cause OF the long-continued stag
nation Of industry and business through
out the country. In Mr.. Arthur's first
message he says the standing question
remains how to avoid the consequences
OF the contraction of the currency from
paying off the bonds, etc. Herein lies
our whole difficulty, and which can only
be remedied by the adoption of a diff
ferent system as regards the coinage of
silver and gold. The mining interest of
the country is so vast in mou and inns
p~oreance az to justly call on the Govern
Inent to coin both gold and silver to un-
altsrsble standard national coin for all
who bring bullion to the Mint, leaving
owners to put it in circulation ia their
own way. The final result Of this would
DO that nc more would be coined than
wouid be to the advantage of the country.
This is what it must finally come to, and
probably the sooner the better. In such
o measure would he embodied a principle
OF justice and OF business universally
understood. Such national currency as
we have described, legal tender for every.
thing, would, if made permanent, be a
more eyen standard OF value than gold
or silver and would be the only thing
meant when price was asked and paid
and the whole question of international
currency, single or double standard,
might go to the wall and stay there.
Under such q system of currency, o ia
our belief difficult to provide, every man
would find work, and the masses having
the means of providing for the wants Of
their families, all kinds of business would
be permanently good"

land it is altogether different. Common

They are not dressed either in m even
ing or a morning dress, and tumble in

more to say. but the doorkeeper told him
that common folks had almost as much
rights as others, and besides he, the door.
keeper, did not have time to listen to
any further remarks just then. The
dude left in thorough disgust.
