Values in the Time Of Henry VIZ

In the part of the sixteenth century,
Just before the Reformation, the ounce
of silver was was worth 3s. 4d., or, in
other words, the shilling of Henry VIII.
was in intrinsic value 1.55 the modern
coin. The wages Of an ordinary labor
er were 6id per day. The rents of
cottages varied from 2s. Sd. to As. per
annuln. Six or eight days labor was,
therefore, sufficient to pay the years
rent. At the present day, taking an
agricultural laborer's wages at los.
week, and cottage rent at 2s. week,
95 a year, it requires 40
days labor to pay the yearly rent.
No doubt the cottages at that time
were mere novels; but I fear large
number at the present day are little
better. About the same period wheat
was 6s. Sd. per quarter, the price of n
pig 3s 3D., and of COW los. a labor
er earning 64d. day, or 3s. Sd. per
week, could purchase a quarter ofwheat
with fortnight's labor, which would
now require three weeks, or n pig with
o,le weeks work, which would certainly
now require the labor of three Leav-
ing ont of view the cost OF clothing and
of the higher agremans which mod
nrn habits require. there can be no doab,
ti,at the common people before the
Reformation enjoyed an amount Of r;l,ls
plenty which has never since beer
canaled.-Notes and Queries.

South African Diamonds.

The latest news from the Diamond
Fields of South Africa gives q dreary
picture Of the state Of business matters
there The vicissitudas of fortune
caused by the collapse of the mines are
as remarkable as any often heard of in
connection with those who have hasted
to be rich through mining speculations.
A correspondent, writing from Kimber-
ley, says he met a man the day before
who had the offer two years ago of
e2S0 900 for his interests in one claim
and refused it. Now he is without twen-
ty shillings to his name Another who
could have got ETC, 900 for his interest
now keeps n butchers shop. The pre-
sent depression has killed dozens one
way and another, and not few have
broken down in health and gone off the
felds-too glad that they had means
sufficient left to enable them SO to do.

An American Story.

Lord Coleridge is delighting his Eng
Hsh friends with stories of his Ameri-
can visit, and among them with
this He was at Mount Vernon
with Mr.. Eyarts and, talking about
Washington, said: Il have heard that
he was o very strong man physically,
and that, standing on the lawn here, he
could throw dollar right across the
river on to the other bank" Mr.. Eyarts
paused moment to measure the breadth
OF the river with his eye. 1t seemed
rather 'tall" story, but it was not for
him to belittle the father Of the country
in the eyes Of a foreigner. Don't you
believe it?" asked Lord Coleridge.
"Yes," Mr. Evarts replied, 'I think it's
very likely to be tue. Iou know a
dollar would go farther i'll those days
than it does now"

Aztec THREE MONTHS,

Three months ago a Democratic nd
ministration was established NJ Washing
ton.
For twenty four years, the Republican
party had been in power there, and it had
been kept in power in large part because
the people had been fearful Of any change.
The transfsr of the government from
the Republicans to the Democrats was
dreaded even by not a few timid Demo
cratic capitalists. They were afraid that
il would provoke disturbance which would
be hurtful 70 their ~pecuniary interests,
andsfor that reason many cf them voted
for Garfield when at heart they preferred
Hancock. This feeling Of the business
community was, of course, adroitly slim
ulated by Republican politicians, who also
kept alive distrust Of the South and phil.
anthropic solicitude with regard 10 freed.
men under a Democratic administration.
Well, we have had q Democratic ad
ministraiion for three months. The Union
still exists, no disturbance has occurred,
the wheels Of the government move
smoothly there has not been a single jar.
Instead Of the danger apprehended from
a change, the people find only improve
ment and more reason for confidence. The
mere sweeping out Of the Republicans
from the white house has wrought . great
reformation. and when they go out gen.
erally from the Offices the good work viii

APRopos Of that terrible duel described
in yesterdays LEADER and alleged to have
taken place here in the early days, a SINH
lar affair has happened recently in n West
Virginia town between two maidens who
by means oft sought to settle a love
affair. They loved the same young men
and quarreled over his attentions, which
were pretty equally divided. There was
no appeal to the code-possibly from the
fear that a far-off spectator might be in
jured, OF that the fair amazons might
really hurt themselves instead of each
other-but a resort was had to nature
weapons, fists and stones. 1t is told hat
the encounter was fierce and hat victory
trembled in the balance for a considerable
time. Then one Of the ladies struck the
other sauarely between the eyes with a
stone, and while the latter staggered from
the blow followed up her advantage with
several more, ending the contest in fine
physical style, with applause from several
~bystanders- The victorious combatant
then claimed the young mans entire heart
and their marriage speedily followed.
This modern method Of settling difficult
ties of the heart is certainly an improve
ment on the ancient days of OF. when all
three took ''pizcn. II has its draw
backs, to be sure, and couldn't be called
inspiring even by a spring poet, and its
effects might be dampening ON tho young
man who is to marry the victor and whose
melancholy future is thus foreshadowed.
But with all its disadvantages it is iur
more sensible than taking poison, and as
such must be recommended.
