Punishment for Treason.

The last twenty years of the life
of Benedict Arnold were probably
the most unhappy that ever fell to
the lot of man. The British were
willing to use him to promote their
own plans, and to pay him for his
disgraceful service, but everywhere
he was held in such scorn and con-
tempt that for years he scarcely
ventured to appear in public. Be-
fore his treachery he stipulated for
a fortune in cash and a commission
as Maior-General in the British Ar
my. He got both, and soon spent
the former in speculation, while the
latter did him no good, as no officer
in the army would serve under him,
and. although his talents and
bravery were unquestioned, he re-
NAMED to the end Of his days .
General without command, even
at a time when the British Govern
ment was sorely pressed for officers
and men. In 1898, during the
French war, when the country was
anxiously gathering gallits resources,
he applied to the Duke of York for
command, but was refused. He
went home in despair, and said to
his wife, "they will not let me find
Z soldiers DEATH" He never rallied

Bacteria on Bank Notes

Some singular facts concerning
the danger of infection by paper
money have been educed by bac-
THEOLOGICAL analysis of the bank
notes Of the Spanish Bank of Ha-.
vana in general circulation. Atten-
ton was drawn to the subject by
the fact that circulation increased
the weight of the notes in conse-
quence of their acquiring foreign
matter. The examination made
showed on the notes in use for some
time q considerable number of mi
crobes, and on some notes as many
as 10000 microbes were detected.
Eight pathogenic species were
encountered, including those of
diphtheria and tuberlculosis. The
result of the examination was that
general warning was issued to the
public against this active source of
danger. The use of bank notes is
at all times attended with certain
degree Of risk, and especially in
Havana, where children have the
habit of carrying paper money in
their mouths, end are thus very
liable to swallow the germs of some
mortal disease. Pittsburg Dispatch.

Effect Of Cheap Silver.

The effect of cheap silver on the
price of wheat and cotton is met
with ridicule by both the old par
ties. They claim that the price Of
silver bullion has nothing whatever
to do with the high or low price of
these commodities. Such assump-
ton vanishes in the light of cold
business facts and the plain propo-
sition is discerned that silver must
be remonetized or the silver mines
should be sealed up, in order to pro-
tect the industries of the country.
The following, taken from The
Truth, Corsicana, Tex, sheds Cow
of light on this subject. 1t quotes
from Mr.. Abbott's speech:
Mr.. SPEAKER / have with care
prepared from official sources ia
BILE showing the comparative value
of cotton, wheat, corn, and silver
as measured by the gold dollar from
1872, the year before silver was de-
monetized, to the present date.
This very interesting table reveals
the important fact that when silver
is deprecated or falls below its
standard coming value, in almost
the exact proportion the farm prod
ucts named are correspondingly
deprecated; and this is the case
with other farm products. Anyone
doubling the correctness of the
table can find it's verification by re-
ferring to page s, "Bureau of Sta
tistics, Foreign Commerce, for the
year 1884," and "Director of Mint
Report on Production of Metals
for $780," page 233:
