 Jonathan Watson of TitusvilIe, Pennsylva. nia, has given spiritualism a back. Some years ago Watson was an owner of several oil wells and was worth million dollars. He married spirit medium, and began to follow her advice in boring for oil. Whether or not she could look into the future, it is certain that she couldn't look any great num- Der of feet into the ground, and he sunk his entire fortune in unsuccessful wells. For several years he was bankrupt, but lately his luck has turned. A few months ago he in- duced friends to advance money enough to put down a we'll near Titusyille. Oil was struck in abundance, and he is again on the road to prosperity. To people who had ridi- culed his delusion he declared that in Iocat- ing the new we'll he had implicitly followed the directions of the spirits. But his part ners tell different story. They say that they wouldn't agree to his location and sunk the well regardless of the spirits at a spot selected by themselves.

I've made it close study ; While the Declaration of Independence was being read from the orators stand the Bra- gillian Emperor, with bowed head, and eyes fixed intently on the we'll worn document before him, followed the reading word for word. The reading concluded, the venerable Emperor, with bowed head, still kept his eyes on the last words of the document be- fore him; then looking up, eyes dimmed and voice betraying emotion, he remarked, "A wonderful document; wonderful documentP Te me, ,as recall the incident, there is pathos in it; there is prophecy in it." remarked MT. Hayes, as he concluded his story.

TERRY's ASSAULT ON JUDGE FIELD.

TERRY s ASSAULT ON JUDGE FIELD.
 The assault made by David P. Terry upon the person of Justice Field, of the Supreme court of the United States, at Lathrop, Cal, ,, in August last, and the killing of the assail- ant by deputy United States marshal who had been deputed to accompany Justice Field and to protect him from anticipated violence at the hands of Terry, in connection with the legal proceedings which have followed, sug- gest questions which, in my judgment, are worthy of the attention of Congress. rec ommend that more definite provision be made by law, not only for the protection of fed eral officers, but for a full trial of such cases in the United States courts. In recom- mending such legislation, do not at all im- peach either the general adequacy of the provision made by the State laws for the protection of all citizens, or the general good disposition of those charged with the execu- ton of such laws to give protection to the officers of the United States. The duty of protecting it's officers as such, and of punish- ing those who assault them on account of their official acts, should not be devolved ex- pressly or by acquiesence upon the local au-
 Events, which have besn brought to nay attention, happening in other parts of the country, have also suggested the propriety of extending, by legislation, further protection to those who may be called as witnesses in the courts of the United States The law com- pels those who are supposed to have knowl- edge of public offenses to attend upon our courts and grand iuries and to give evidence. There is a manifest resulting duty that these witnesses shall be protected from injury on account of their testimony. The investiga- tions of criminal ofenses are often rendered futile, and the punishment of crime impossi- ble, by the intimidation of witnesses.

THE SILVER QUESTION

The law requiring the purchase by the treasury of two million dollars worth of sill yer bullion each month, to be coined into sill yer dollars of 4121a grains, has been observed by the department, but neither the present secretary nor any of his predecessors has deemed it safe to exercise the discretion given by law to increase the monthly purchase to four million dollars. When the law was en- acted February 28, 1870, the price of silver in the market was $1. 90 40 per ounce, ,mak- ing the bullion value of the dollar 9S cents.

THE NEW REPUBLIC.

The recent revolution in Brazil in favor of the establishment of Republican form of government is an event of great interest to the United States. Our minister at Rio de Janeiro was at once instructed to maintain friendly diplomatic relations with the pro. visional government, and the Brazilian repre- sentatives at this capital were instructed by the provisional government to continue their functions. Oar friendly intercourse with Brazil has, therefore, suffered no interrup- tion. Our minister has been further in- structed to extend on the part of this govern
 ment formal and cordial recognition of the new republic as soon as the majority of the people of Brazil shall have signi6ed their as- sent to it's establishment and maintenance.

NO COAST OFFENCES.

Judged by the modern standards we are practically without coast defences. Many of the structures we have would enhance, rather than diminish, the perils of their garrisons if subjected to the fire of improved guns, and very few are so located as to give full effect now making for coast defence uses. This general subject has had in consideration Con- gress for some years and the appropriation for the construction of large rihed guns made one year ago was, lam sure, the expression of purpose to provide suitable works in which these guns might be mounted. An appropriation now made for that purpose would not advance the completion of the works beyond our ability to supply them
 with fairly effective guns. The security of coast cities against foreign attack should not rest altogether in the friendly disposition of other nations There should be second line wholly in our own keeping. very ur- gently recommend an appropriation at this session for the construction of such works in ! our most exposed harbors.

91.2 cents per ounce, reducing the bullion value of the dollar to 70.6 cents.
 Within the last few months the market price has somewhat advanced, and on the first day of November last the bullion value of the silver dollar was 72 cents.
 The evil anticipations which have accom- panied the coinage and use of the silver dol lar have not been realized. As coin it has not had general use and the public treasury has been compelled to store it. But this is manifestly owing to the fact that it's paper representative is more convenient. The gen. eral acceptance and use of the silver certif- cate show that silver has not been otherwise discredited. Some favorable conditions have contributed to maintain this practical equal- ity in their commercial use between the gold and silver dollars. But me.Aof these are trade conditions that statutory amendments do not control and the continuance of which we cannot be certain of.
 think it is clear that if we should make the coinage of silver at the present rates free, we must expect that the difference in the bullion value of the gold and silver dol- lars will be taken account of in commercial transactions, and fear the same result would follow any considerable increase of the present rate of coinage. Such result would be disereditable to our financial man. agement and disastrous to all business inter ests. We should not tread the dangerous cage or sucn 8 peril, ana 1noeeo noenlnS more harmful could happen to the silver in- terests. Any safe legislation upon this sub- ject must secure the equality of the two coins in their commercial uses. I have al- ways been an advocate of the use of silver in our currency. We are large producers of that metal and should not discredit it. To the plan which will be presented by the secre- tary of the treasury for the issuance of such notes or certificates upon the deposit of sil- yer bullion at it's market value, have been able to give only nasty examination, owing to the press of other matters, and to the fact that 1t has been so recently dde eration, but the general plan suggested by him seems to satisfy the purpose to continue the use of eilver in connection with our cur rency and at the same time to obviate the danger of which have spoken at 8 later day. may communicate further with Con- gress upon this subject.

The enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act has been found to be very difficult on the northwestern frontier. Chinamen landing at Victoria find it easy to pass our border ow- ing to the impossibility, with theiforce at the command of the custom officers, of guarding 80 long an inland line. The secretary of the treasury has authorized the employment of additional officers, ,awho will be assigned to this duty, and every effort will be made to enforce the law. The dominion exaets @ head tax of $50 for each Chinaman landed, and when these persons, in defiance of our law, cross into our territory and are apprehended, our officers do not know what to de with them, as the Dominion authorities will not suffer them to be sent back without second payment of the tax. An effort will be made to reach an understanding that will remove this difficulty.

That County Road.

The refusal of the County Courts to
appoint an engineer for the projected
county road has forced the Freehold
ers to take the bill authorizing its
construction into the Court of Errors
for a review of the Supreme Courts
decision.
The courts action was an unantiei-
pated stumbling block in the way of
the schemes for until the Court
appoints an engineer the Freeholders
cannot reach the control of the
millions that will be expended on the
great drive. One of the differences
from the letter of the Judges, read to
the F~reeholders yesterday, is that they
believe the act will not be sustained on
appeal. The other inference is that
the Court is unwilling to entrust so
important an undertaking to the
existing Board of Freeholders, and
that its postponement OF the matter
pending the result of an appeal, is
only to delay the selection of the engi-

John Morgan, of No. s16 Grand street

PROLONGED Goodbyes.

A friend of mine during his vacation
saw a little scene in the Lake Shore depot
at Toledo that amused him amazingly.
few minutes before the train for the
West pulled out an elderly couple anne
on to the platform. The old man had a
huge carpet sack, and his wife a valise
and two or three packages. They hoisted
themselves into the cars, and, after stow
ing away their baggage, returned to the
platform. 1t became evident to the few
Spectators who stood about that the old
man was to travel alone, and did not take
kindly to leaving his wife behind. They
were both Germans, but they conyersed
in English.
The conductor came along and an
nounced that the train would start in n
minute. Then began a diverting struggle
between the old man and his wife. He
wanted to kiss her. She was determined,
as any young maiden coy and discreet
might be, that he should not. He took
her in his arms, but she threw her head
back so far he could not reach her lips.
He grew desperate, and throwing his arms
about her generous waist waltzed with
her, now this way, now that, trying to get
his mouth near her cheeks at least. But
she was the stronger or the more agile of
the two. Whenever he made a direct at
tack she bobbed under his arm or swayed
from side to side so that he could not Jake
When the cry of "An aboardr' came
the two were still involved in the amatory
struggle. She saw the train begin to
move and cried:-"Run, Adolph, the cars
are movingi'' And her husband loosed
his hold, and with a look of love and
anger mixed, jumped on to the steps in
the last car. He had the modification of
seeing his comedy spouse throw q kiss
Iaughingly at him, while the brakeman
