An attempt has been made to create an impression that the amount of sil- yer coinage issued by the government was assuming immense proportions, threatening to inundate the avenues g of circulation and become an idle and cumbersome factor with which it would be difficult to transact business. As a matter of fact, a certain amount of currency is absolutely necessary to transact the business of the country, and the best fnancie, are united upon the point that certain proportion of metallic currency gives frgnness and stability which cannot be secured m any other manner. Recently gather. ed statistics show that at the present time in this country the amount of metallic currency is S797, ,s5O,26l, of which S6lo535,02S is gold and only $1s73l5,253 is in silver Thus it is shown that the amount of our silver currency in comparison with the gold is so insignificant that it cannot. if permitted to operate unrestricted, pro- duoo any perceptible effect upon the value or circulation Of the gola coin age Chicago Mining Review.

The act creating tho Fish Commis. sion. in 1881, by reason of the ap- poiutment of inefficient men to the positions, has been rendered abortive and the failure is so appai ent as to cause committee of the 18th Legisla. tive Assembly to recommend the abolition of the Commission, for the reason that it has been partial in its operation The action of the Com. mission, so far as tic public is in- formed, is a sealed book. although the act creating it requires gu annual re- port of it's proceedings, expenditure of money, etc, to the Governor, who is enjoined to give publicity, through the Legislature to the reports.

IF a New York papers state ment can be relied on, the boys in that State have an original way of sowing their wild oats. The jour nal referred to says: "One day last fall small boy named Wash ington Denison, who Is learning to be a barber at Hildebrandt's shop at White Plains, had hls ears filled with oats by some boys with whom he was skylarking in barn. The boy scratched and cleaned out, as he thought, all of the horse feed, and went home about his business. About SIX weeks ago the boy was taken with a se- were pam in his ear. His head swelled up and he was in awful agony. All remedies failed and his mother took him to Dr. White, of New York city, and he removed two kernels of oats which had sprouted and taken root ir the boys ear. He is now perfectly well"

THE scenes of ofice-seeking in W ashington since the 4tk of March are laughed at by ol1 ob- servers. An old correspondent for the New York and Western press kept for personal reference an exact record of all removals, resignations and appointments day by day so far as obtainable at the departments and from the press, from the 5th of March to the 5th of September, 1861. By the list of April every foreign mis- slon and consulate of any import ance had been vacated and filled, as also very large proportion of the domestic presidential appoint
 ments. In the executive depart ments as early as March 9th heads began to fall. Hundreds were off before the 1st of April, and the decapitation continued unceas
 ingly for months. Even in the state department, out of a total of twenty-six clerks, eleven lost their heads. The number of clerks in that department is now about sixty. Strange to tell, more than one department clerk, decapitated as a copperhead in 1881, was a Federal general long before 1865.

OUR esteemed cotemporarY. the

OUR esteemed cotemporary, the St. Johns (Apache county) Herald, commenting on an article in the CLARION of April 22d, in regard to the boundary line of Graham and Apache counties, says: ''The Ken lucky decision will not apply in this case. The general understand ing in Apache, county and espe- cially among the old settlers, and also the settlers who now live at or near its head, is that the head of Black river is at a point just south of what is Known as Elk Horn, or Horton's ranch, a voting precinct of Apache county. At this point the several branches that form Black river meet at the head of long box canyon, and at this confluence is the actual head of the river. A lineade east to New MeSiee would leave Bush valley from 12 to l5 miles north of Apache's south line"

TIE Rochester, N. H., girls have adopted a plan of attack in the matrimonial warfare which leaves the marriageable young men of that town no excuse for remaining bachelors. The excuse of the young men for continuing their single blessedness or single lone Illness has been that wives were too expensive luxuries for men of their limited means. The young ladies were determined that no little excuse of this kind should keep them tramping along the golden path of maidenhood. They assembled about a month ago and prepared a document proving conclusively that families of from two to SIX (tbey provided for the future, you see, can live well on S9 a week. This expenditure in cluded rent, fuel and provisions. And then the maidens showed their heroism and their skill by proving that the woman who can not dress stylishly on SS0 a year is not worth the marrying. Copies of the document were sent, one to each of the eligible young men. If the Rochester boys do not hurry up and embrace the opportunity and the girls, the town will soon be overrun with sturdy young bachelors who are in search of just that variety of wife.

UNIQUE in the history of strikes Is that of the priests of Bulgaria. A dispute arose, and the govern ment sought to bring the holy fathers to tune by stopping their pay. The latter responded by refusing to officlate at all christen- ing, marriage and burial services, This state Of affairs continued for several weeks. The people sided with the priests, and the govern ment finally found it prudent to surrender and provide the clergy with their salaries. An immense number of marriages were crowded into brief space of time as a re- suit of the strike. l. Is not re ported whether any burials were postpone-l tlom the same cause.
