Evaporation of the Nile.

A peculiar feature of the river Nile is
that from its junction with the Atbora,
for distance of more than 1,500 miles
to the sea, there are no affluents. This
fact, together with the burning sand
and the hot sun of the desert, causes
the most of the stream to cvaporate,
leaving but small body OF water to
flow into the sea.

Goloid-No Moro Panios.

The Adrdnoe publishes communicate
from prominent businessman Of Lynch
burg proposing that there shall be
specie currency composed of say one
third silver and two thirds gold. This is
in substance the scheme which. was pro-
posed in the national House of Representa-
tives some years ago by TIE Hon. ALEX
ASDEa ii. STEPHENS, of Georgia. Dir.
STEPHENS proposed 20 call this composite
metal "goloid," or like gold" But
the proposition met with little or
no favor. The public did not look
with appreciation upon an smalRam cur
rency. In fact, If the object was 10 debase
the currency, Mr.. STEPHENS might as well
have proposed TO use nickel, or steel, or
some other metal to accomplish the end
which he had in view. We favor bimetol-
lism, but not that sort OF bimstallism which
is involved in the proposition to make
coins which are neither silver nor gold.
It would be absolutely necessary to use
some other metal than gold in making
coins TO be worth less than dollar each.
These small coins would DO a nuisance,
1t is true we might substitute government
shinplasters. or what was styled postal
currency" during tho war between the
States. As long. however, as the mines
Of the world shall continue TO produce
that precious metal silver, which has been
used as money ever since the days Of ABRA-
HAM. 1t is not likely that the public will be
content 20 have paper currency consist
ing Of notes Of the denomination OF Al or
less Silver money will stand the test OF
fire. but shinplssters will go up In smoke
In short order if fire breaks out amongst
them. Silver will stand the test OF water.
1t is as good just taken out Of the water
as IL is when Just takon out Of the fire.
IL is Waterproof and hre-proof. Silver
IS a money that can be boarded. This Is
no small recommendation. Silver en-
oourages thrift. 1t induces men 10 be eco
nomical. Silver is cloany. IL does not
spread contagious diseases throughout
the community. In fact, we DO not believe
that the public will ever consent to substi-
tute goloid, or postal currency, or anything
else for silver. This metal has qualities
which no other metal possesses. The
single fact that it Is the only metal which
has the bulk necessary in coins Of less
bullion value thana dollar : an unanswer-
able argument IN favor Of keeping SILVER
AS a part OF our national currency. Silver
il too bulky and heavy to be- used for any
coin larger than a dollar and gold lack
the bulk needed 10 CONS Of denominations
less than dollar. SO we need both gold
and silver CONS
