"Just Keep Quiet"

1t may be remarked that soldiers,
possibly from professional association,
prefer to see a strong man in the pulpit,
one who has what may almost be called
an "overbearing" manner. Of such a
class was one of the most worthy and
distinguished whllom servants Of church
and state, the Rev. G.. r. Gleig, once
chaplain general, who, having fought
CALAMITY as a combatant officer through
the Peninsular and American wars, aft
erward took holy orders and devoted his
great powers to the spiritual well being
of his old comrades and their successors.
We well remember how, on one Occa-
sion in winter, when he was addressing
q large depot there was great deal of
coughing in chapel which disturbed the
sermon. The venerable chaplain general
at once assumed an air of an officer in
front of battalion and said; "Now,
my lads, I'm an old man, and if you
make so much noise, | can't make my
self heard. Just keep quiet. " The tone
Of command was magical in effect, and
there was not sound heard till the
very practical discourse was concluded

there are few remedies which cure deep

VICTIMS OF CHEAP MONEY.
Macaulay's Description Of Those Who suf-

Macaulay'a Description Of Those Who SUI
fered by Clipped Coins In the Seven
teenth Century.
Free coinage at 16 to 1 is equivalent
to clipping from - 20 30 cents from the
present dollar. 1t would give US de-
based dollar Of varying value The
world has had experience with clipped
coins Poorly minted coins during
Queen Elizabeth's time made it easy to
clip them Coin clipping was carried ON
extensively during the rest of the six
tenth and during all Of the seventeenth
century BY 1875, Macaulay tells US,
lit could hardly be SAID that the coun-
try possessed, for practical purposes,
any measure Of the value of commodi-
ties -
Speaking Of tie effects upon the peo-
pie at large Of this debased coin Of un-
certain value, this great historian says
that lit may we'll be doubted whether
all the misery which had been inflicted
on the English nation in quarter Of a
century by bad kings, bad ministers,
bad parliaments and bad judges was
equal to the misery caused in a couple
Of years by bad crowrs and bad shil-
lings." He describes the workings and
effects in the following language:
But when the great instrument Of ex-
change became thoroughly derangod,
all trade, all industry, were smitten as
with palsy. The evil was felt daily
and hourly in almost every place and
by almost every class, in the dairy and
on the thrashing floor, by the anvil and
by the loom. on the pillows Of the ocean
and in the depths Of the mine Nothing
could be purchased without a dispute.
Over every counter there was wrangling
from morning to night. The workman
and his employer had aquarrel as regu-
larly as the Saturday came round On
a fair day or a market day the clamOrS,
the reproaches the taunts, the curses,
were incessant, and il was well if no
booth was overturned and no head
broken Nomcrchant would contract to
deliver goods without making some
stipulation about the quality Of the coin
in which he was to be paid Even men
Of business were often bewildcred by
the confusion into which all pecuniary
transactions were thrown. The simple
and the careless were pillagcd without
mercy by extortioners, whose demands
grew even more rapidly than the money
shrank. The price Of the necessaries
Of life, Of shoes, of ale, of oatmeal, rose
fast
The laborer found that the bit Of
metal which, when he received it, was
called shilling would hardly, when
he wanted to purchase a pot Of beer or
loaf Of rye bread, 90 as far as six
pence. Where artisans Of more than
usual intelligence were collected in
great numbers, rs in the dockyards at
Chatham, they were able to make their
complaints heard and to obtain some
redress But the ignorant and helpless
peasant was cruelty ground between
one class which would give money only
by tale and another which would take
it only by weight. -" Macaulay's His
tory of England.

The Origin Of a Name.

There is a general belief that Gun
ner's run, in Kensington, received its
name from the fact ttat a great many
sportsman frequented the banks Of the
stream before the time Of Kensington
becoming a portion of the built up city.
This belief is held by some Of those who
live in the vicinity. Asa matter Of fact,
the now malodorous stream received its
name from one of the early Swedish
settlers who took up his residence on its
banks. His name was Gunnar Rambo,
or Ghunar Rambo When the English
settlers came TO Kensington, they soon
corrupted the name to Gunner, and this
was in time applied to the stream. -
