let us rend its own promises, lor the

you know what that means, you have

ing life. .November hardet'ia the cold
ground and locks the flowing streams
tit its migeii embrace, fruits' ami
dowors die, and earth and water, wood
and niotnls all Naluro shrink and
dwarf, until tierce December enwraps
them in ils snowy shroud, and stays
thorn, in death-like inertness. Do I
overdraw tho picture? Look about
you, and in the light of the tacts nee
how dim in my coloring.
"SiHX'ie pay men la, and when they
are attained, and not until then, free
banking.". So says lf6 ltcpublicaii
platform. Cieutlciucn, do you fully
understand that provision? I have
shown what contraction is. Immedi
ate ivu motion of specie payment will
produce the same results. , Every debt
will be iiicreaiwd ten nor cent. Every
salary )aid by your government will
be iiiereaiHMl toil per cent. Kvcry dol
lar ol accumulated capital, every nxod
income, will be iucroased ton per coat.
r.vory article, you have to sell tho
cropn on your land, tho cattle in your
pastures, tho stock in your stores, the
machines In your niaiittluetories will
bo diminished in prico ton nor cent.
WHAT THE REI'lULK'ANS WILL DO.
The lienublicans say they will force
this result, and thou they will have
free banking. They will stop business,
paralyse enterprise- ruin the debtor,
keep kilo tho luoorer, in order to reach
specie payments, and then they will
establish live banking in order that
the liauks and bankers may expand
the currency at their pleasure.
it an cxpunsion ot tho currency is
necessary, why flint reduce tho cur
rency ? 1 will toll you why. In order
that canital may be benefited bv the
contraction, and that banking capital
maybe benefited by thu expansion:
that money may bo made more valuable-
by tho contraction, and that the
money thus enhanced may at once
draw interest on tho bonds dojiotiited
and profits on tho circulation.
1 1 hut tho circulating medium may
he expanded or conn-acted according
to the demands of trade and commerce"
Shall tho currency be cxnuiuled or
contracted awarding to the will of
Congress, responsible to tho people, or
according to the will of the bankers?
Shall they be intrusted with this migh
ty power of hard times or easy times ?
Shall they make plethora or panic? I
would not huve the ctirroncy the play-thiiigofiMliUosorthefoot-ballnf
part ion,
1 would not have its fluctuation ii'ucli
there must be subject to the control irf
private speculations. I know it is
harmful to business. I do not believe
it necessary. If I must confide this
power somewhere, 1 would choose to
contido it to Congress rather than to
the banks. I would say with David
of old, "Let me fall into the hands of
(ind, for Ho is murcifut ; let me not fall
into tho bund of man."

A7.Vff KOFFEE'S UMBRELLA.
Among the trophic carried to Eng
land from tho recent campaign against
tho Ashantecs was King Koflec's gi
gantic and gorgeous state umbrella.
It is made ol black and crimson velvet,
trimmed with broad gold-lace, and was
0110 of the most valued articles iu tho
King's treasury. Ho wonld have sac-
ritlced a hundred wives to ransom it,
and, it is said, felt more humiliated hy
its loss than by tho capture mid de
struction of his capital. The English
comic pajs'rn were mistaken in hcn-
ing ndiculo on the nmbrella trophy,
though it was, it must Ik conii-ssed, a
very tempting subject for the satirist
ami tho caricaturists.

splendor and amplitude.
The Proposed Anolo-Frknch Fun
nel. In a paper on tho Dover-Calais
tunnel read before thu London Society of
Arts, Mr. William linwes says that a
continuous stratum of chalk underlies
tho Channel, which is easily accessible
for tho purposo of constructing such
a tunnel. This bed of chttlk consists.
on tho English sido, of 175 feetof while
and 205 feet of gray chalk, and on tiie
r rench side ot 2i0 1cctol white and
480 of gray chalk, which is quite im
pervious to water, and from its plastic
nature must nc rrco irom fissures.
The lengtli of the tunnel will be twen
ty-two miles. By using Brtiuton's
tunneling machine, and working from
tho Dover and tho Calais side simulta
neously, it would require only two
years to drive a driftway from sovun
to lime leet 111 tiiumcter across tlio
channel. Tho action of this machine
is twofold. It chips away the material
from the face of the chrilk bv an un
ceasing ojHMittion, and it collects the
debris produced, deositn it 011 a baud,
am nnany delivers it into the wugmm
which carry it away. Tho most care

the driftway at 1,000,000. Should
tho driftway bo driven successfully one

THE

, N'ALISiC. :,i
in commenting upon (he failure of
Mr. J. Y. Scaiuinon, of Chicago, as a
newspaper fnanuirer. McCullati-h. of tho
cessful journalists of the nest, tells a
plain 1 111 1 li in the following words:
"Tlio business of journalism will con-,
tinue to be an inviting field for experi
ment to those who have a large amount
of money and a largo amount of ego
tism. A man who, having edited a
uewspaH?r until he was forty, should
suddenly announce himself a lawyer,
would be regarded as a fool by the
legal profession ; and yet, wo often hoar
of lawyers of Ibrty nialtingpretr"iong
to journalism. There is an idea that
tho business of editing requires no ap
prenticeship ; that editors come forth
from law ofliccs Biid colleges fully
armed for tho profession, like Pallas
from the tirow of Jove. It is a mis
take ; thoro is not in America to-day a
single journalist of national reputation
who has not devoted mora time and
more hard work to his profession than,
with equal fitness and application,
would havo made him a great lawyer
or good doctor. And yet ninety out
of every hundred men you meet on the
streets will hesitate nnotit carrying n
hod or making a pair of shoes, where
as there will propubly not bo one in
.a i,nnilred who can't accordimr to

in tbo country bettor than it is edited,
no matter in what manner or by whom.

HISTORICAL PHILADELPHIA LANDMARKS.
From Frank Lealie't Illnttrated Newrpaper.
Thin is one of the oldest landmarks
in Philadelphia. A greater part of the
present cditico was built in 1711 one
hundred and sixty-three years ago
but it is well known that there was a
church there as early as 1700. Tho
' structure was built of logs, and at first
I !t wa" intended to be used as a Quaker
nioeting-house. The present building

Iu 1746 a tine large copy of the Bible,
with the Book of Common Prayer
bound with it, and a beautiful com
munion set, wero presented to tho
church by titicen Anno, and they have
been iu constant use ever since, and
are still in.good condition. The Bev.
Edward Y. Buchanan, D. D., the pres
ent rector, is a brother of the late Ex
President Buchanan. Tho graveyard
of this church is full of old-fashioned
gravestones bearing quaint inscriptions,
and somo of them aro almost illegible.
One dated 1708 contains several verses
of singular rhyme. The following is
an extract: .

"Sardines in California. A new

tho end of Treadwcll's wharf, near

cleaned with tho kuifo, after which
they are cleaned hy a stream of water.
They aro then salted, packed in per

volume of dry steam, and occupies
about an hour. The next stage of the
process is packing them into the regu

after which tliry are placed in the steam
chests. Here they aro tuorougniy
