In our present English currency there is
discriminal ion against silver for sums
exceeding forty shillings, gold or paper
backed by gold is the only legal tender In
India the discrimination is the other way.
Gold is unknown for currency purposes,
and all debts must he discharged in silver
or paper hacked by silver. In France, be
fore 1873, both metals were used indiffer
ently-that is to say, the French mint was
always prepared to coin as much silver and
RS much gold rs any one chose to bring to
It, and the debtor having obtained his
coins of either color, might discharge his
debt with those which suited him best

is interesting enough, but the chief
point in Miss Stephens case il that she
is greatly gifted in talent for music,
both as singer and player, and is now in
Boston to take thorough musical educa-
ton. IL one may judge from the notices in
the Boston papers the society Brahmins of
that city were not well informed on Indian
affairs, for when invited to meet "Chero-
kee songstress" they were surprised to find
her well educated, tastefully dressed and
refined lady, with conversational powers of
rare attractiveness. Apparently a squaw
in red paint and feathers was about what
they had pictured in anticipation, but hav
ing met the lady they are enthusiastic in
promising for her great career and posi-
bly, an international fame as the first prima
donna of her race.
AS a matter of fact the Cherokees have
an excellent system of schools and a fairly
good government, and have had many able
and educated men at any time during the
past fifty years. Long before that Sequoyah,
the Cherokee Cadmus, gave their name and
| literature n worldwide fame, and now that
culture has so far advanced as to produce
n musical genius the advent of Miss Ste
phens may well be regarded in Boston as
quite an event

President Says Stevens Caused the RevO-
 lutIon-The Terms Onered By Minister
 Willis in Behalf of the United States
 Refused by the Queen.
 WASHINGTON, Dec 1S.-President Cleye- land sent his message on Hawaii to con gress this afternoon.
 The message takes the report of minis ter Blount as its text and insists that ex-Minister Stevens was the cause and sole support of an unjust revolution.
 The president also announces that no other annexation treaty with Hawaii will be submitted to congress.
 Much of the correspondence between the state department and Commissioner Blount is submitted.
 The overthrow of the Hawaiian govern ment was not wished by any large per centage of the inhabitants, the president holds, and Minister Stevens recognized the provisional government sci up at Honolulu within an hour after 1t was framed. This is something unprecedented Regarding the instructions to Minister Willis the president says that Willis was instructed to inform the queen that the United States would aid in her restoration to the thrown. provided she would grant amnesty to those concerned in the revolu | ton.
 Willis was also instructed to so inform the provisional government.
 Later dispatches instructed Willis to in sist on amnesty, and a further telegram was sent instlucting him to inform tho queen that the United States could not use | it's army or navy to assist in her restora tion, or in maintaining her on the throne.
 These terms were not agreeable to thu queen and she declined to accept them.
