Probably one of the most remarkablo
feats of pedestrianisra ever attempted in
tho West is that now being assayed in
this city by a colored man who calls him
self Boh Blackhawk. This individual
arrived in this city a few days ago, and
while along tho docks claimed that he
was able to accomplish the seemingly
incredible feat of standing upon the
head of an ordinary barrel and con
stantly turning around for twenty-lour
hours without drink, iood or sleep. Ho
asserted that he bad performed the feat
in L:stcin ci. 108, and talked so confi
dently that at lust ho succeeded in ex
citing the interest ol a few speculative
parties who determined to test his pow
ers or cndurnn?o. jjlacknawK was
paiticularly anxious lo make tho trial,
just to satisfy tho incredulous that he
could do Wiiat he claimed, and accord
ingly it was decided to gratify him. A
common liquor barrel was procured and
placed in a small room in the third
story of tho llawlcy block, next to the
Central Police fetation on Woodbimge
street east, aud precisely at 0 o c'ock
last evening Blackhawk mounted tho
barrel and commenced his task. Two
tiustworthy men were detailed to re
main with him in the room, whion was
kept secuiely locked io avoid interrup
tion to seo that he faithfully curried
out his attempt. They are to relieve
each other fir needed repose. Shortly
before I o'clock this morning a repor'er
of the l'uxt "fined admission to tho
room where tho private exhibition was
given, and found Bob resolutely shuffl
ing around on the barrel bead appar
ently as fresh us a daisy. At that time
he had been at it nearly seven hours;
claimed to be entirely free from latiuuc,
and was confident that be would fill out
the whole time unless some uulorseen
accident occured. Detroit I'ost.

A Theory of Honey.
The current definition of money de
clares is to be an instrument ot ex
change. But as this definition needs
explanation, an historical sketch of its
subjeot will afford us the biiefcst ac
count of what money really is. The
history cf exchange is in general thi:
First, simple bartcij then, barter ffith
values computed in terms of cattle; then
an extensive use of the valuable metals
computed in values of cattle as a means
of eff'octiug exchanges. That is quan
tities ot iron or gold estimated as worth
so many oxen or sheep were used in ex
change Pu account of tho uuivcrsal de
maud for the metal, and the facility of
transferring them. Ccrtniu weights of
these metals are next stamped, and thus
guaranteed by some authority, and do
voted exclusively to the purposes of ex
change. Mouey in this form is known
os coin. Tho next gieat step begins by
employing simple representatives of coin,
or promises to pay coin kept on deposit.
Hut it was found that more promises to
pay than there was coin lo pay with
might bo safely emitted by banks so long
as the coin on band was sufficient to
meet any demand likely to be made for
tho redemption of tho promises to pay.
This was inflation of the metal currency
by credit, and this is the system now in
general use throughout the civilized
world.
The estimation of security, date of
payment, and interstate tho elements
detctmining the value of piomL-cs lo
pay. When the date of payment is al
pleasure aud security good a promise to
pay is at par witnout interest. When
security is good, date distant, aud uo in
terest, a meie promise to pay is discoun
ted at the ruling rates of money.
Ihe value ol a ciedu currency to tho
world can on 1 v be conceived when we
comprehend the euoimuus extent to
which it is emoloycu. It bus innum
erable disguises, but the principle upon
which all its forms are iouuded is the
same. A small union til ot coin ana the
securities received for the loan of its ex
panded representatives arc made to fur
nish a large cridit currency. The pro
cess of hypothecation and expansion may
go on several times upon the same origi
nal values. 1 his it must bo understood,
is inflation by credit aud is the accepted
system of modern busiLCss. I he dau-
ers to which it exposes tho busiuess
world are very great, because the secur
ities which form the greater part of the
basis ar not always sound, and the pio
portion of standard values or ot coin L
not always sulhcictH to meet the current
demands for payment. An altogether
new stage in the developmcni ol money
seems to be portended by certain cir
cumstances of modern busiuess. A
promise to pay gold, bearing no iutciest
and having uo date, aequiiesa value far
above that nt which it would be dis
counted by being made a legal lender
for certain debts, mid leceived by the
State in lieu of gold. It. is plain that
iis use here as money lends it at least
part of tho value which it possesses.
Ihe question now is. Uau a t-unency
derive it value l'rum Us use alnuu? A
money which is not a promise to pay,
but a receipt for any indebtedness, will
be dependent hr its vulue unon tho ex
tent o! the credit w hich it is competent
to liquidate. If the Govern men t accepM
it for all dues it will have a certain
value. II it is made legal tender lor
private debis its value will bo increased,
because its uses will be increased. The
greater the use to which it is put the
higher its value as compare! with that
f the old standard which it supplants.
If tho Government which receives it ex
tends its control of the business of the
county, lor instance, so as to monopolize
transportation, or the manufacture and
retail ol liquors or cigars, tho uotes
which it wuuld receive for these ser
vices or commodities would acquire ad
ditional value by reason of their ad
ditional use. Thus we cau conceive ol
a meney based wholy upou its use as
money, being in the uature ut a receipt
rather than a promise. Ihe picsent
greenback is not such a currency, al
though deriving great part of its value
Ironi its character as legal tender aud
uovernment note, it is ulso a promise
to pay a dollar in gold anil must be re
deemed, but in that it shows its tran
sitional character. Tho ifsuo between
an iuflated credit currency, represented
as hard money, and a pure aud simple
legal-tender currency cannot be ionght
out over the greenback, for it is a by
i . i , ...
Dria, sirea, nowever, Dy Hard money,
and therefore titularly a hard-money
note. It is a promise to. pay gold, true,
at what some would have the Greek
Kalauds, but what is to be done at all
must be done at some time, and it will
be to the interest of currency refornieis
to get rid of the green-back by redeem
ing it; then they can bring on their
thoroughbred hgal teuder.
The Philadelphia Lciljtr says: It has
been said, with some truth, that no one
can foim a just conception of tho mag
nitude of tho preparations for the Ccn
tcnuial Exhibition without a personal
examination of the buildings. But it
is equally rue that even this examina
tion will givo but an inadequate idea of
the space coveied by the five principal
buildings. Men experienced in estimat
ing dimensions frequently mtide ridicu
lous "guessess" as to the sizo of parts o
the buildings now under roof. The five
chief buildings cover 1,973,110 square
feet of ground. If all the churches,
chapels, meeting bouses and halls used
for religious purposes in Philadelphia
would average each 40 by 00 iect, every
oueoftheni could be stowed away in
the Ceutenuiul Buildings, and 500 out
of the 528 could bo put int the three
larger building tho Maiu Building,
Machinery Hall and Agricultural Hall.
It is quite possible that all the churches
in Philadelphia aud New York could
be put into the buildings, for the di
mensions assumed are reached by very
tew of then', the greater number being
chapels and small churches.

A farmer boy in Ohio, recently ob
serving a small flock of quails iu his
father's cornfield resolved to watch
their motions. They pursued a very
regular couass in their foraging beg'n
uiug on ono side of the field, taking
about five rows, and following them
uniformly to the opposite end, returuiuu
iu the same manner over tho next five
rows, They continued in this course
until they had explored the greater part
of the field. The lad, believing thai
they wero pulling up the corn, fired
into the flock, kill'tig but ono of them,
und examined tho ground. Iu the
whole space which they bad traversed
he lound but one stalk of corn dis
turbed. This was neatly scratched out
of the grouud, bui the earth still ad
hered to it. Io the crop ot tho quail
he found one cut worm, twenty-one

Tub VsAon PbuhI'KCT. The Uarrisburg
Patriot in alluding to the prospects of this
.... . . m
crop says. Xlie peacn growers oi Mary
land and Delaware are making unprece
dented efforts to scok ft profitable market
for their fruit. One of tho most extensive
growers has viHiteu our oinie among
others, with iho view of ascertaining tho
condition of the peach crop in the peach
growing sections of these stales, aud tho
probablo ohanco of finding a direct market
for the peninsula crop, and he gives it n b
his opinion, based on personal obsera-
tioiis and a perfect knowledge of peach
culture, that the crop in nil sections of
these stales is nlmost a failure. Governed
by this impression ho has cfi'ected arrange
ments of the Fruit Growers' association of
Delaware nd Maryland to ship peaches,
in full car loads to Ihe following places, on
ihe Pennsylvania laihoal, at tho afllxed
prices per car loxd: Laucaster $7o; Harris'
burg $8-3; Mililin. 105; Lewistown, $110;
Il-mtiugdon, $120; Tyrone, $120, Altoona,
Johnstown, i?110; and Pittsburgh, $1-50
Hsretoforo tho proweis have sold I heir
orchards lo a ''Peach ring" .-undo up of
dealers in Kew York Philadelphia and
Baltimore, who charged just, what they
pleased. This season the growers huvo
taken tho matter in their own hands. The
consumer will therefore learn by the close
of the season whicli party has dealt the
most fairly. Those of our citizens who
wish to securo peaches during the season
had better make engagements with ihe
agent.
