PAPER MONEY.

Paper money is a promise to pay, not
running on interest, and the promise Is
to pay or redeem in specie on demand,
that ID, in gold or silver.
Silver has been, until demonetized,
equal with gold a metal of redemption,
that is, one of the two precious metals
recognized as money the world over.
Banks issuing their promises as money
are supposed to be prepared to redeem
at all times although only required to
keep a certain amount OF specie on
hand, about one. third of their circula.
tion formerly In state bank days When
not secured by bonds OF the general
government as now.
Bank paper Is put into circulation by
the bank loaning to private parties who
give their notes with approved security
and with interest. This then is an ex-
change of notes promising to pay but
one with interest and tie other not.
Bank paper money is only an evidence
Of individual indebtedness.
Government paper money is also a
promise to pay, but it is debt Of the
government, plain and simple. 1t is a
ready way of the government borrow
ing without interest; and when the
government receives its own paper
circulation for all revenue purposes,
without exception, there is little or nc
danger OF it depreciating.
The money schemers, during the wal
between the siates, got the Congress to
make the greenbacks legal tender foI
all purposes except for duties on i'm
potts and interest on the public debt
these being payable in specie, and silver
then rated higher than gold.
1t may be seen from this why green
backs declined, until specie was worth
three to one. This doubled our wa
debt, for on the average, the bond
brought not over so cents on the dollsl
in specie, as the bonds were sold 70
greenbacks, dollar for dollar. 1t was
big thing for the money cliques snC
gamblers.

A BISHOPS ADDRESS.
Providence Ruled In the Recent War
and We Should Assume Our Re
sponsibilities Bravely.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 16.-Right Rev.
William Croswell Doaue, in his annual
address to his priests of his diocese,
made reference to the Spanish war and
acquisition of territory. He said in
part:
"And step by step, in the unaccounted
for destruction of our battleship, in the
unparalleled victory of Manila, in the
blind blunder of Cervera, in the match

out His will and revealed His way. Not

ministration of military affairs accus-

been taken out Of human hands as to

EASY FOR MoRPHY.
A story of the Great Chess Master
and n Celebrated Painting.


On reading the notes on Paul Nor
phys visit to Philadelphia am re.
minded of an incident in connection
with his visit to Richmond about the
same time, which was related to me
some years ago by the Rev. Mr.. II. Of
thet city. do not remember ever to
have seen it in print. Mr.. Morphy was
Mr.. II. Is guest while in the city, and
on bis arrival was first ushered into the
library, and his attention was at once
attracted by q painting over the man
tel, which was fine copy of a cele-
brated painting representing game Of
chess between young man and the
devil, the stake being the young mans
soul.
The artist had most graphically de-
picted the point in the game where It
was apparently the young mans move,
and he seemed just to realize the fact
that he had lost the game. the agony Of
despair being shown in every line Of his
features and attitude, while the devil
from the opposite side of the table gloat-
ed over him with fiendish delight. The
position of the game appeared utterly
hopeless for the young man, and Mr..
H. said he had often set IL up and
studied it with his chess friends, and
all agreed the young mans game was
certainly lost.
Mr.. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied it for several minutes, when
finally, turning to Mr.. H., he said:
"I can win the game for the young
man."
MIR. II. was of course astonished and
said, "Is it possible?'
Mr.. Morphy replied, "Get out the
men aud board and let us look at It,"
The position was set up, and in few
rapid moves he demonstrated complete
win for the young man, and the devil
was checkmated. Robert Munford in
