TRADE DOLLARS.
How Thousands of Them Are Bought Up,

no" thousands OF Them Are Bought Up,

Trade dollars are still offered, though
not in such quantities as they were at
first" said a member of the banking
firm of William G. Hopper & CO. on
Saturday. During the past thirty
days | should suppose that somewhere
in the neighborhood of 100000 trade
dollars have been shipped from Phil
adelphia to New York, and from there
1t Is fair presumption that they 90 to
China. To-day we purchased twelve
or thirteen hundred dollars, and within
week we got 5000 in one lot, but the
general tenders are in small amounts
and come very largely from the country.
The price given is eighty-fiye cents if
the coin be in good condition"
81 am positive that no trade dollars
are held in Philadelphia by spectators, ="
said Mr.. Stevenson, of Sailer d Steven
son. "Since Philadelphia brokers began
buying this repudiated coin after the
adjournment of Congress in March,
presume that the shipments to New
York must aggregate close on to half
million dollars. We have purchased
lately, and are still taking all that is
offered, but rarely receive at present
any large amounts in single lots. At
one time, l suppose, Philadelphia and
immediate vicinity had 100000 OF
these dollars, and great deal of this is
yet held here. Most of it, however, is
in the possession of those who believe
that Congress will eventually redeem it,
and, as they are so situated as to be
able to hold without inconvenience, they
prefer to do so instead of selling at tf-
teen cents discount. We send our pur-
chases to New York, whence they 90 to
London, and thence to China. Here, l
understand, the most of it is melted up
and reissued."
At William G. Huey & Co.'S similar
information was given. 80 large have
been the China Shipments" said one OF
the firm, "that if Congress does redeem
the trade dollar it will find but few OF
them on the market, We are purchasing
all that is offered us, and every day We
receive various amounts, ranging from
800 up. The offerings are not very
large at present. Most of the holding;
now are in the hands of the wealthy
who believe in their eventual redemp
ton, and do not care to sacrifice the

frozen as they come out of my mouth,
and are thawed in the course of the
summer, making strange noises and
unexpected assertions in various parts
of the church; but, if you are tired Of a
world which is not tired of you, and
YOU are determined to 90 to st. Paul's,
it becomes my duty to facilitate the
desperate scheme. Present the en-
closed card to any of the vergers, and
you will be well placed"

AMERICAN WORKMEN.
How Connecticut Manufacturer Sue

How Connecticut Manufacturer Sue
ceeded with Imported Cutters.
About four years ago Colonel Frary,
President of the Bridgeport Cutlery
Company, while on tour through Eu-
rope, visited many of the cutlery estab-
lishments in Germany, Hamburg and
England. The manufacture of razors
being in Il primitive state in this coun-
try, he decided that he could do no bet
ter than to bring over some OF the work
men to the United States. The work
men in Sheffield, England, were as a
rule, members of the trades unions,
and Colonel Frary had considerable diff
iculty in engaging the men whom he
wanted. A few months later he had
the satisfaction of seeing forty Of them
with their families sailing for this coun-
try, accompanied by the secretary of
the tr;%le union. In Germany and
Hamburg he engaged sixty men, and at
once shipped them and their families to
this country. Separate rooms were fit
ted up for the newly-arrived razor
makers in the shops at Bridgeport, the
GNrmans being in one part of the works
and the English in another
Colonel Frary sand Il had a great
deal OF trouble with my men at first. l
did not have nearly as much trouble
with the Germans as with the English.
The latter demanded a separate work
room apart from all the other workmen
in the factory. If one of the men in my
employ wanted to enter the room while
they were at work, they would throw
down their tools and would not resume
their labors until the visitor had closed
the door behind him. | was the only
man in the entire shop whom they would
let into the room without stopping
work. A peculiar feature about them
was that they would not work after
twelve o clock noon on Saturdays.
Whatever money was left after buying
the weeks supply the men would 90 on
spree with until the last cent was
spent, which was usually about Tues
day morning. American workmen are

cred DIR. Beddoes at once concluded
that it must necessarily be a spe-
cific for paralysis. A patient was
selected for the trial. Previous
to the administration of the gas the doc
tor inserted small pocket thermome-
ter under the tongue of the patient. as
he was accustomed to do upon such ac-
casions, to ascertain the degree of ami
nal temperature, with view to future
comparison. The paralytic man,
wholly Ignorant of the nature of the
process to which he was to submit, but
deeply impressed from the representa-
ton of the physician, with the certainty
Of its success, no sooner felt the Their
mometer under his tongue than he con-
cluded the tai Snlan was in full opera
ton, and in burst of enthusiasm de-
clared that he already experienced the
effect of its benign influence throughout
the whole body. The opportunity was
too tempting to be lost DR.. Beddoes
desired his patient to renew his visits
on the following day, when the same
ceremony was performed and repeated
every succeeding day for fortnight,
the patient gradually improving during
the period, when he was dismissed as
cured, no other application having been
used. Cures effected by the imposition
of royal hands, by stroking, by mesmer-
ism and the like, are proofs of the same
principle, a principle of which the ju-
diciorls physician may sometimes avail
himself for his patients sake, but which
he will never exercise as an instrument
for his own ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Advert
| ing, therefore, to the numerous
phases which superstition in past
ages has assumed there is none which
exhibits the human understanding in a
more degraded light than that con-
nected with the cure of bodily infirmi-
ties. Few if any of these cures had a
show of reason to recommend them to
the cultivated mind; andeven these few
were 50 clOuded with mummery and
jargOn that one is apt to treat them
with ridicule, believing that more vir
| tue was ascribed to the mode of admin
istration than to the potency of the
article prescribed. Nor did these su-
| perstitiOns exert the sway over the vul-
| gar mind alone; the rich and great
were equally under tEeir influence, and
INDUCED in them all The more that their
circumstances afforded them the means.
1t was left for the progress of science
to disSipate these errors, and though
the simple and uniformed, in remote
districts, may still ding to some of
these beliefs and qmcks and empires
be ever ready to impose on their credu-
lily, as a nation we are now happily on
the path to more rational and effective
modes of procedure Broobly'1 Eagle.

THE JUNE CRICKET.

In the Madison square Park.
Tented in the short green grass.
While the moon shOnc in the sky
A cricket, close to those who pass,
Uttered the old familiar cry.
Little needed he the noise
OF the crowded city street,
But blew his lutte with strideDt voice
Unmindful of the tramp of feet.
Hundreds briskly hurry by,
Listless to the song they pass;
No policeman stops his cry,
Or orders him: Keep off the grassP'
who note the steady tune
That he with such relish plays,
Wonder how this note of June
Came to take the city ways.
Far from native haunts Withdrawn,
He sings the old song at my feet
The prelude of Il country lawn
Statutes the curious city street.
Rustic scenes are not at hand;
Norippling rivulet wanderS near:
Hard it is to understand
This voice in such an atmosphere.
Brave little cricket pipe away;
Let your bitterness melt in SOngl
Ills the cheerieSt rOundelay;
] shall thank you for it long.
Torn from spring-time, robbed of June,
Shut up to the city street,
Much thank you for your tune
Uttered from this strange retreat.

MAKING BOOKS.


English Method.
A great mistake with English authors
is the use of the commonplace book, in
which extracts from the works of others
are alphabetically arranged to be used
again. In my opinion we read toe
many books. What we want is tC
come in contact with life. There are
those who make books from books and
those who make books from what they
see. There are books which are only
the successors of other books, and these
are simply old works done up as new.
According to my ideas a book should
only be written when one has some
thing to say, Don't 90 to your com
mOnplace sheets and collect together a
number of extracts and dish them up in
book form. Go to the window and
look upon nature. Then let us hear
your own ideas about it. Many people
imagine they have ideas when they are
merely impregnated with those OF
Others which they have read. 1t is a
great mistake. The greater part of the
novelistS of to-day never portray real
life. They have certain sterotypes for
heroes, certain models for heroines,
certain pictures for scenery. Pshaw! it
is sickening. Shakespeare was great
not because he wrote Romeo and Jul
liet'' and "Othello," but because he
came in contact with existence. All
his characters are living. Their fidelity
to life is simply astonishing. The same
can be said of Balzac. Shakespeare
and Balzac are great manufacturers Of
beings. Daudct, in NeO York Times.
