FeUfic Citizens: WLen I inform ed tbe llepublicaa State Committee ibat I could speak once during or brief visit, they inquired if it would be agreeable me to epeak in Toledo. I promptly answered yes, for, though knew tuat ycur political associa tions tad been greatly disturbed by questions which sprang out of the hardneea of the times ana tie panic cf 1S73, yet you would give me a patient hearing, and thus ba able better to judge iiow lar we disagree. I naturally Bupposc tbat yon de sire me to epeak mainly on financial topic My official position f x many yearn in tbe Senate connected me th tbe financial legislation ot Congress, and my present office re quires me to carry into execution those laws. Tbev ruate mainly to the public credit, public debt, our coin and currency, and the system of taxes by which tbe Government is suppoited. The topics are necessari ly interwoven wi;.h each other, but each canvass brings some of these into more prominence than others. Now tbe questions most discussed are the silver question and the re sumption question. These are only branches ot tbe currency question, but tLey prefect tbe main difficulties n the administration cf tbe lreasury Department, and will be maiuly the subject of my remarks. Tbe election ibis fait for members of tbe House ot Representatives will practically set tle them. There ought to be no partisan or personal feeling about them, fur we arc all interested alike in promoting the common good, and 1 1 te tl ng upon a sound des 8 tbe cur rency ol the country. In undertaking to address you I will frankly and freely express mv own opinion, but will, while I remain in an executive office, cbeerfullr and freely obey and execute the judg mcnt cf my fellow cuizens as express ed by Conjrrtss, or give way to eonie one who will do so. What I want is the largest amount of curreucy that can be maintained at par nub the established com of the countrv. rroin tbe diversity 01 our uts we must have many different kinds of money, to measure great wants and little wants. We must have coin money and peper money, and plenty of both. What I con tend fjr is tbat, though our money mav be of manr kind?, it must all have the same putchasing power. The essential qualities cf ail good money are stability, equality and convertioil.ty. Tna dollar ot oae kind should bur as much as tbe dol lar of aay other kicd. Depreciated money cheats tbe ignorant and the unwary, and enriches the money changer. The poor man whose de pendence is upon his daily labor is the victim of depreciated money, for be must take what is offered aud is always paid in the poorest money. No dietincnoo thould be made- be tween coin money and paper money, or between the noteholder and the bondholder. Tbe money provided by tbe Government should pay all debts and be used for all debts. Subject to these copditions I am for tbe largest amount of each kind of money demanded for the wants of tuainess, and if you will agree with me ia these general propositions there will be no quarrel between us. USEFUL AGENTS CF ZXCHAXOK. Geld, silver and copper, as well as the modern contrivance of paper money, are all useful agents of ex changes, and ought to bs freely used and always mantained at par with! each other. Minr.r coins cf baser raet&ls are indispensable for the la- j numerable small wants ot life. " To measure these wants silver coin; would have to be small in size, and, therefore, copper and nickle are used, but these metals are so cheap that it coined at their intrinsic Talue tbe j coins would be too large for convert ie nee, so, by eonjmon consent, the old copper cents ere abandoned, and token coins of copper and nickle are issued at several times their intrinsic value, but are mantained al par by tbe necessity of tbctr nse, and by be ing redeemed in money of full Talae when presented in considerable sums. Silver money ia the best and most convenient for the market and shop NATIONAL ISSUES ping transactions ot me. feiiver set ESTABLI HED, 1837. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, coins are, by al! odds, more numer ous than coins of gold, even in countries where gold alone is the standard of Talue. The shillings and half crowns of Great Dritian outnumbered tbe sovereigns many times, and in the United States the silver coins issued from February 1, 1875, to August 1, 1ST?, number 220,820,540, while the whole number of gold pieces issued during tbat time in the United States is 7,710, 040. No form of psper money can profitably tako the place of silver. Our old fractional currency was the best substitute ever devised, but this cost annually nearly four per cent, to uiaiuiaiu ii iii ueceat conuition or nearly the interest cf tho money, while the amount lost, wasted and destroyed was a heavy tax uDoa the peoplo who used it. It lasted on an average only fifteen months, while coin lasts thirty years. The largest possible use cf silver and its freest circulation are indispensable to any system of money that can be devised out, like an otner money, it mu3t be maintained in some way at or near the intrinsic value of the other money. If eilver is coined at les3 than its market value and issued without limit it will as surely displace cold as water will, displace air. There fore, fractional silver is limited toj $50,000,000, and is only issued when i required in exchange for United states note3. it . it becomes too abundant it comc3 into tho Treasury or taxes aca is paia out only wben r"eaianded or willingly received. bo tbe coining of the new silver dol lar, though a legal tender for nil purposes, is limited by law to from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 8 month. Tbe silver in this dollar is worth less in the market than the gold or even the paper dollar, and, if issued with out limit, the silver dollar will sure ly depreciate below the gold dollar aud will become the single standard of valce. This is as certain A3 the march of time. GOLD INDISPENSADLE. But gold is also an indispensable standard ot value. It measures all tho larger transactions cf business life. It is used 83 such by most Christian and civilized nations of the world, and its demonetization would be as great injury es the demoneti zation of silver. Now, fellow-citizens, I am in favor of so adjusting this matter that both metals will circulate at par with each other ; that you will have gold eagles and silver dollars, and a dollar of either will purchase precisely the same commodities. This can be doze while the market value of silver is lower than iu legal ratio with gold, either, First, by liaauinar tie amount of silver to bn ie&cd, or . Second, by readjusting the relative weight of tbe two coins, either by in creasing the weight of silver coin or loweiing the weight of gold coin, or equalizing them by increasing tbe weight of silver and lowering the gold, cr, Third, by the International Con ference between bi-metaliic nations now in session, which I sincerely trust may arrive at some practical result. Either plan or anv other to keep these coins on a oar with each other will mtet my hearty concurrence, but I am utterly opposed to any measure that will deprive us of the use cf either coin, circulating side by side, of equal purchasing power, at par with each other. I assure you in all frankness tbat the silver ques tion must be solved in some such way, or we will have to adopt the single standard of silver like tbe Chinese cr other Asiatic nations. And now, fcllow-cliizens, I come to the mobt important question of this cduvtss. Odr paper currency is now hap pily brought to very near par with coin. Will you insist upon keeping it at par, or will you, by repealing the Resumption act, retrace the steps already taken and embark again upon tbe sea of irredeemable paper currency : Shall cur psper money bereaitcr be redeemable in coin upon the demand cf the holder and be maintained at par with coin, or shall itbewhatit3 friend? call a "fiat money, irredeemable in coin, depend ing upon tbe daily trade marks of bankers and brokers for its value and upon tbe changing majorizes in Congress for its amount and quality? This county of Lucas has always been a good Republican county. It earnestly supported the administra of Abraham Lincoln, supported all the measuns of the war, and in patriotic exertions and sacrifices for tbe cause cf the Union was not excelled by the same population in any portion of the United States. It is to you as Republicans I wish to address what I have to say to-night. TUE PAREST OF GBEESBACK. It wits the Republican party which devi-ed and issued tbe green back?, and which has thus far sus tained iLeiu &i:d advanced them by slow and g-adu.il processes to par with coin. No donbt there have been honest differences, as it is Datura! there would be, as to tbe means by which the result has been brought ttbout, but there should be no di fferesce among Republicans as to the desire that tbe money contriv ed by their policy, and the chosen instrument by wbicn tee lorces ot the United States were marshaled during the war should be made and kept equal with coin. However varying currents cf public opinion or temporary depression ot industry may tend to disturb the public judg ment, it should be the will and the duty of tbe great party to which we belong to make good tbe promUes printed on the face cf their United Mates notes, especially wben tbis is demanded not only by tbe national honor, but by the clearest public policy. This money is our own, in wbicn we nataraiiy tate priae. we guarded it in its cradle when it was reviled and derided by our political adversaries, at a time when it was said it would wander like Cain with a mark npon its brow, dishonored and repudiated. We believed in it then and we believe in it now. When ws issued it we promised to redeem it in coin, and every rresn issue was accompanied by a fresb promise. In 1SG6 we not only, by SEPTEMBER 4,1878. law, promised to redeem it, but pro vided for tbe gradual contraction of tbe amount. In 18CS we suspended the con'.rsction and renewed the promise. Ia 1SC3 we solemnly pledged the public faith to redeem these notes in coin. No step, how ever, was taken to redeem the pledg es, and, under the Blimulus of infla tion, speculation ran riot, visionary scn-emes were entered upon, extrava ganca prevailed, until in September, is 1 6, tbe bubble bust, prices fell, the wua aeiasions or the time were ais eipated and business men bad to face the inevitable evils that always como from irredeemable paper money, men, atter fifteen months debate in Congress, and before tbe people, as a remedy for the evils we were suffer- intr, the Resumption act was passed ite only object was to make our paper money equal to coin. It was not the best possible measure, but was the only one that could be agreed upon. It was very general in its provinions, but did not give ample power to prepare for and to mantain resumption. It did not abolish the greenback. Oa the contrary the greenbacks were expressly to be re tained to the extent of $300,000,000 as a part of the permanent currency of the country, and tbis was, on the let of January, 1879, to be made as good as coin, to bo redeemable in coin, to be issued and re-issued as the money of the people, the founda tion of our currency. This was to be the fulfillment of our promises. This wa3 our answer to those who said the greenback would never be redeemed. RESUMPTION ACT YIXDIC.VTED. And now, fellow-citizens, the Re sumption act has vindicated itself. We will be prepared when tbe time Gxcd shall arrive, to execute it and maintain it, with entire confidence in its happy effect in tho revival of butlaes3 and the restoration cf confi dence. Four months before the time fixed, silver and gold and paper are almost on par with each other. Your greenbacks will now buy within one-half of one per cent, as much provision, clothing and other things as the best gold coin ever is sued from the mint. The laboring man has a standard of value equal to that of the bondholder. The only promise unfulfilled by the Republic an party is almost performed. Now, the stepsby which the result ha3 been achieved were simple, law ful, and beneGcient, and, perhaps, it is best for me to state them as brief ly as I can. iirst. Silver com was gradually substituted for fractional currency. The amount of fractional currency redeemed to tho 17th of this month is $25,080,C00. The amount of frac tional saver com issued to toe same date is $39,307,C0. Here ha3 been no contraction, but an increase cf over $14,000,000 current money by the substitution of a durable coin for an expensive and wasteful note. Second. A gradual retirement of United States notes from $332,000, 000 January, 1875, to $346,081,016 now. Tbis reduction was made only as circulating notes were i3sued to National Ranks, and only to the ex tent of eighty per cent, or lie notes so issued. This was to be continued until the amount outstanding was $300,000,000, but Congress, during tbe recent se3.-ioD, in view of tbe general desire to stop reduction, sus pended it and fixed the amount of United States notes at $436,6SI,0IC, the amount then outstanding. Though tbis adds to tbe difficulties cf execut ing the Resumption law, still I have entire confidence in our ability to maintain that amount in circulation. Third. By the accumulation of coin in the Treasury in view of re sumption. The authority to thus accumulate is plainly given by tbe Resumption act, and was the chief means provided to sernre and main tain resumption. My predecessors, no doubt believing that tbis accumu- tion ought not to commence during their terms, bad taken no steps under the provisions of tbe Resumption acL ben I assumed tbe duties of my present office, after careful study of the whole question, I determined that it would be necessary to accu mulate, in addition to tbe surplus revenue, the sum of $100,000,000 of gold coin, and that it ought to be accumulated at the rate of $5,000,000 a month from the 1st of May, 1877, to the date of resumption. It was confidently declared by those who opposed the law that it would be impossible to accumulate this coin without putting op the price of gold, and th'is defeating tbe object, but the experiment shows tbat it was not only feasible hut advantageous to the current business of the country. We accumulated readily during eizht months of that year at tbe rate of $5,000,000 a month, with gold constanly declining in price. Tbis proce33 was arrested by tbe debates m Congress and tbe threatened re peal of tbe Resumption act, but was again resumed in the spring of this year when it was found sti'l more easy to accumulate coin by the sale of 4 i per C3nt bonds, and the origi nal plan was executed sooner than was anticipated, by the more rapid sa'e of bonds, so that on the liih of this month the Treasury of the United States was supplied with $209,011,753 15 gold and silver coin and bullion. THE LABOR QUESTION And now, fellow-citizens, in conclu sion let me invite your attention briflev to the agitation of the labor question, not only ia this country, but in other countries, where produc tion bas exceeded consumption, and thrown out cf employment many in dustrious laboring men.and paralyzed important branches of industry, es pecially in the iron and coal indus tries. I know that n some places labor is depressed, that wages are low, that many a willing nana ends it hard to get "work, and sometimes hungry men, women and children want clothing, and shame be to him who does not sympathize with such suffering and relieve it if possible. No wonder tbat honest labor grows soured at the inequalities of life, and sometimes listens to tbe ery of tbe demagogue that human laws have caused this distress, and that if he was in office be could furnish redress. TT 1 cm Tho same distress exists ia a far greater degree in Great Britain, France, Germany, and a'l civili.cd nations, whatever may ba their forms of currency or standards ci value. Modern inventions which supply wonderful machinery which consumes only water and coal, as a substitute for the skilled mechanic, have great ly diminished tbe cccupation of la bor. Fewer laborers are required for the same work. The only remedy would seem to be to pursue new in dustries and seek new markets to be supplied. Oar own country is bless ed with cheap lands inviting labor, and the energy of our own people, as I have shown, is already discovering increased employment ia supplying productions heretofore made abroad, and ia sending our home productions to foreign countries. All that tbe Government can do withia its limit ed powers it ought to do to encour age, protect and loster laoor. And I can eay of our laws ana in stitutions they are far more favorable to the laboring man tha those of any other country, and any idea, or re form, or measure that is proposed to relieve and protect labor finds ia the Republican party its earnest ana sympathetic advocate. Tbat party has done moro for the protection and development of labor than aoy other. Our Constitution and laws guaran tee to every man equal civil and po litical rights. Uroperty is more equally distributed than elsewhere except ia France, and excluding tho negroes, who but recently acquired the right to vote, a greater portion cf our citizens are property holders. More than two thirds of our voter, with this exception, are property holders, and the rest want to be, hope to be, aud can be. This coun try of ours is not the permanent field fur tramps and Communists. Our laws for tbe distribution of property tend J'rectly and rapidly to distrib ute large estates. Property here is required to pay more tribute to labor than ia any other country ia the world. PROPERTY EDUCATES the children, maintains all your char itable institutions, maintains ycur streets, roads and local -.mprove-ments, and all parts cf national, State and local government. The very few taxes that attach to those who have no property are on whisky, tobacco, and beer, which are volun tary taxes. If the government caa da more to protect labor, it will. It offers to every citizen a homestead on tbe public lands. It offers every man an equal chance. Every office and honor is open to equal competi tion, and it gives to no man right, ti tle or suvantage, except what he Liraself acquires. Tbis is all tbat a free government can do. It cannot take tbe property of the rich and di vide it among the poor. It caanot, as is proposed, take the public treas ure, collected by taxe3, and distrib ute it any other way except for the limited proper objects provided for by the Constitution. It cannot con trol contracts men make with each other, except where tbey are grossly immoral or violate public policy. Its office is spant when it secures freedom, equality and equal chance in the race of life. While the sympathies of the Republican party must ever be with the laboring man, it cannot violate the fundamental principles ot free government to favor any class, or refuse to protect any class in the enjoyment of life, property and the fruits of their own labor. In the general management of your affairs tbe Republican party has done all that it could do to develop tbe national rest tiroes and maintain tbe national honor, to protect all men in equal rights, to secure to all men equal privileges and equal chance in life, aod tbat it is ready to adopt any proper and constitutional mode of relieving distress and advancing the interests of any portion of the peo ple. I caa safely appeal to all of you who have shared ia the honors and labors of this party to still stand by its flag, now tbat the difficulties, of tbe recent past are passing away, with the full hope that our country alwaya advancing and prosperous since liberty was fir3t proclaimed by our Revolutionary fathers, is still destined to advance under the guidance of the Republican party, to higher honcr and greater prosperity. THE TRADE DOLLAR. Mr. Sherman, during his speech, read a letter from a correspondent of tne Cincinnati hnnuirer of to-day. in which tbe following questions were asked about tbe Trade dollar: Firrt. What is the matter with the Trade dollar? 1 expect you tossy it is not legal tender. Second. The Government received dollar t-r dollar wben it put the irade dollar out. Third. Did the person on receiving the trade dollar from the Govern ment do so with tbe understanding that he had to take it to China to spnd it. If any body is to blame, wbo is it : He said that the trade dollar was not a legal tender, bat it is worth ninety cents as baluon. Tbe stan dard dollar is legal, and therefore worth par. That is the difference. To tbe second question be an swered that the Government did not receive dollar tor dollar for tbe Trade dollar, bat received 1 cents for coin ing each dollar for private bullion owners. I bat was alt It was the miller that ground the grist for a small percentage. To the third question he replied tbat tbe bullion o-aer did receive tbe Trade dollar for exportation to China, a device to give him a mar ket for bis bullion, and upon tbe fall of silver it was perverted by him as a means of cheating our own peo ple.

Rnpll T ran, It la Xfr York. Wbea aa elevated railroad was proposed, it was t tardea A3 a iraatic and futile chimera. To-day there are two elevated railroads. When the first iron pillars wero raised along Greenwich Street and up the Ninth Avenue, it ai declared that it was aa intolerable nuUanee aud disfig urement of the street. To-day main streets are occupied with the trestle work of th; railway, and the aerial traveler shoots by stcani through tho thoroughfares from Centra! Park to the Battery and from the Battery to Ilarlern. No spot ia the world, withiii tho satno tine, can show a more miraculous change thaa that of tho Now Amsterdam of Governor Stuyvesant to the New York of May or Ely; and as the passenger wbiri3 across the island in the time that old Governor Peter used to stomp fr--m end to end of the Battery, he may curiously wonder what municipal niarveid the next two centuries will produce. Should this printed leaf flutter down to the reader of that day, be will be glad to know somethiag of the beginning of elevated street railways. If he will imagine, tliea, going down a little street by the south side of Trinity Cdurch-yarJ, which nowsurrounds Trinity Church, he will find in tho next street parallel with Broadway a structure which covers it like a massive long bridge. He looks np the long perspective of rafters underneath, and that is all he sees of the street. Ascending a woodea staircase to the top of the bridge, be Cads aa office, where be paj3 tea cents for a ticket, and pa.3- es immediately into a car remarkable 1 for its light elegance. Ine form of the seats and the weed-work is grace ful ; the seats for It is summer are of cane, and there is a general freshness and coolness cf aspect which is very agreeablo. In a mo ment the train is moving with a cu rious solidity of action, the wheels running in grooves that would make the mishap most to be feared that! of leaving the track quite iropossi-j ble. There are a dozen na-'Sf jrer I in the car, aad as many in -r-j ia each ot tbe three ca:s of too traiu. and there is a train from tiie station we have just left every three min utes. We roll along at the 1- el cf tbe second-story windows ol .te hrer houses, stopping at frequent s'.a: :otis, which are gay and pretty w- da buildings, with gates aud wari.'ngs to prevent heedless steppit.- ia f.mt of the constant trains, baddenly our speed is slackened almost to stop ping, and we turn at right angles down a street, and presently, at 'he same angle, resume cur northerly course. This involves great loss of headway, and consequently of speed, which will be remedied some day. As we roll oa, our view is confined to the faces cf tbe houses and tie glimpses and vistas of the croe.3 streets. Bat a3 we reach the broad Sixth Avenue we seo more of the life of the shops and sidewalks; we are opening out irato the broader parts of the city ; there are stately churches and lofty houses ; and sud denly there is the green country be fore U3 -vp are at Central Park, and it is tweniy or twenty-five minutes since we left Trinity Church. To the passenger there has beea but one discomfort the smoke aad fine dust from tLe locomotive. It has been a surprisingly delightful journey. Omnibuses and street cars are the monsters of a distempered Jancy. Going dowa town or going heme is a charming excursion. But while tbis 13 bis own personal experi ence, the passenger, 3 he has caught sight in his flight cf a chamber in an upper story, with tbe bed toward the window, the bureau, the table and the chair a seclusion invaded every moment by hundreds of care less eyes, by a continuous roar, and a puff cf dust and smoke has won dered what the lodger may thick of it all, and what the lodger, with ru ined privacy and murdered sleep, may have to say to the landlord, hot and profane from tbe mere apprehen sion of complaint and warning. These rooms are darkened some times ; there are sickness, suffering, death in them ; bat the rattle aad tbe jar aod smoke and duet go storming by incessantly. Tbe passenger sees also the shops below, and bis imagi nation goes into them, accompanying the "shopper"', wiping dust from her sacque and cinders from her eyea, and 'cheapening the goods'' amid tbe ramble of the train, and he won ders if the noise and the smoke aad tbe dust promote the prosperity cf the shops. The carriage horses pass ing under the frame-work of the rail way do not se-m to be frightened. Tbey lift their bead.-, perhaps, as the train comes thundering over, but that is all. Indeed, every body is com pelled to observe that here is a new thing, another step forward, another improvement of the nineteenth centu ry which has eime, and, despite chambers aad lodgers aad ltadlonlij and shop-keepers, ha "come " to I stay." There have been protests of prop erty-holders and physicians, aad suits bave been brought and meeting held. Tbe railway h3 been de nounced as tbe result of a monstrous usurpation of public force over pri vate right, forecasting the Commute itself. But tbe conviction of pabiie convenience will probably prevail over ail, aod the problem cf rapid transit will have been solved by tbe aerial method. It most produce great changes of value. Streets through which su'.-b railroads run will cease to be streets of dwelling houses r of small shops. These will withdraw into the neighborhood adjacent, near enough for the use and out of the reach cf the noise. Tbe current of increasing population will be turned from New Jersey and Long Island to the region between the North River and tbe Sound, wbieh will thos Lave a swift and di-j rect connection with the lower city, unvexed by ice or fog or storm. Bat tbe sagacity of the city must now se cure aa certainly a quick and cheap freight connection with the West, or it may find tbe increased facility of local transit will not alone retain the supremacy of New York.

Never tell a mia that ho u a liar unless you are certain tbat yoa caa lick him : for, as a general rule, when you say that it means a fight, I have arrived at this conclusion ihroutrh sad experience. I kaow it is n;t safe to give tbe !ie to a muscular Christian. I did once. I am s.rry for it now, A3 I never grieved for anything in the whole course of my life. We were standing on tlie side walk in front cf tho club tslki.i pol itics, wben I mado the sutemtAit ; and men who talk pjlitits aa I ;-t mad over it, are, to pat ii milUiy, lu natic?, or eice want an of!ii.'e. Tae man made aa assertion touching tbo fair cam cf trty fa7orite caat'idate which I btli'ved t bo untrue. It U probable that if it fca 1 teea ai true tn it was fale, I siioul 1 have taken tho same course, becau-o, you understand, a maa has no sense n r.o talks politics, anyhow. I thiak I said tbat btfore, but it is all the nam?. I want to make it strong, and get yoa to uader- stand how I got rey oraameatal eye. I mildly sng je-ted that a maa who would make such a statement as tbat was lost to all sense of shame aad would be guilty, of any base crime. He disagreed with me 03 that point. As for himself ho never made a statement except upon the most ample proof. .My candidate was the mean est man unhung. I told hirn ho lied. I Lava been kicked by a mule; bave fdllea out cf a second Btory window oa a-hard paremon'; eatea greea persimmon; heard Mi-s Alow read p iry for to hours aad a half ; skated ; buati-J : rodo oa a thar;-bjck?-l hors'i cf mustang parentage, aa adept ia tho art of '-bucking;" saffored grief of variou? kind, and still clung to life ; but all these are feathers ia the bal ance compared with that little word liar. Immediately after sajiag it, I sal down not ia '.he way people osuilly sit down. I sat down on ti o rim of my rijrh; car, about tea feet from thn spot where I bad been standing when I mado usa of the expression quoted above. I am not und to silting in that position and I d not think it agrees with me. I have beard cf people who "got up 03 their ear" and walked off. I wish I kae.v how to do it. aa 1 I would have propelled myself away from that spot immediately, if I baj posseted this happy faculty. I pro ceeded to bring myself to a perp-.wi-dicular, fully intending to U90 the inoaas of locomotion which na;ure had g'vea mo.; but when I came right side up, something heavy ran against my aoi-e, ana as I full rather tired, I sat dowa oa the ether ear. I like a change it h too nonotoncu.3 doing tbe same thing over aod over again. Somebody took my largq friend away, and I was quite pleased when be was)gone. I have concluded to look twice at a maa before I give the lie again. My eye is in mourning, my nose is swelled to the size of a citron with the color of a b'ush ro?e, ami my store clothes look as though they had bee a rua through a sausage ma chine. I would not have tbat man'. temper fur anything in the world. Sat oral lurlwaltle,. Oa land, a short distance south east from the Weir station, Taua loa, .Mass., is a double tree composed of a complete living apple tree, out of the truak of whijh grows a liao e'm, thirty feet or more. Aad near tbe hourio of Dr. Dean, ia the sarno towa, EtanJs aa clra, near the fot cf which there spring, or did at !a.,i accounts, the butt of a vigorous grape vine, which, at a considerable i.i tance from the ground, grows entire ly into the tree, then it re-appears aad is at length once more entirely lost. Oa tho farm of a Mr. Rjed, in the same vicinity, there is a wil low of considerable size grown from seed brought to maturity in the orig inal tree over the burial spot of Na poleon I., at St. Helena. A fourth wonder in this neighborhood is the grapevine on the Richardson estate. The trunk of tbi-s viae is more thaa twenty-sevea inches ia circumference, and several of tho branches girt s aad 9 inches. We doubt wueihcr tbe famous Hamptou Court vine is much bigger thaa sohij of its hum ble relations. About fjur m:Is northwest of Speacer, ia Indiana, stands a sugar tree on the brow of a hill, which has two distinct trunks that start from the grouad four feet apart Tbey are eight inches in diam eter, and uuite ia one trunk of about twelve inches in diameter, at nine feet from the ground, forming a &A id, compact body trom thai point upwards. On tbe baax of the Kan sas river, a short distance north tf Udora, staads a water elm, about 21 inches ia diameter. At about twelve feet distant, another of the same spe cies leans toward and eaters into the larger trunk, and becomes a part cf it at about fifteen feet from the ground. One of tbe most curious, and at the same time most useful of trees, is the bamboo botanieally a grass, yet practically a foreign tree. It grows as high as eighty feet and has clums bo Btrong that they are used for mast?, joists cf houses, pipe, aad every purpose to which poles caa be applied. The tender young shoots eerve as a vegetable ior the natives, and are used for pickles by the Europeans; they serve, when sewn together, as garments, aad are also used as thatching the vrAi of houses. The wood cat into splint is worked into basket?, twi.ted into cables, and, ia fact, ia lome form or other, furnishes the bed, mattress, chair, table, curtain, pipe, chopstick, flute, broom, fod, garment, book, pa per, fuel, etc , etc , of a large class of human tieiogs. OaeoftbemoDl re markable instances of abnormal growth is that of a decaying sugar tree, ia Township Fifieen, about one mile east of llockvilie, Iadiaaa. From some cause its top has bean bent down to tbe grounJ, againet a hillside ia such a maaner that its branches became ia time covered with earth tbat was washed down the hillside. This resulted ia its ta king root at the top. Then followed a series of sprouts, that became dwarf trees, alon the upper side of tbe main truak, forming a faataV.ic arch over the little hollow. A Hartford entomologist says there are at least a thousand kinds cf bujs in that city. This will give one an idea of the number cf boardirg houses.
