SUXBURY, Arnili 10, 1874.
ClTtKENCY. Both houses of Congress
Lave by decisive votes declared in favor of
an increase of the paper currency, and Hie
combination of elements seems to be too
strong to be overcome. The 6outh and
west, as represented iu Congress, are al
most unanimous in favor of more currency,
while New England is unanimous the
other way, and in this is fiustaiucd by New
Yorlc, Maryland and the gold States of the
Pacific. This combintion, bays the Ger
mautown Telegraph, has been slowly form
ing for a long time. In the House it took
shape in the Centennial bill. Pennsylva
nia leads the majority and shapes the gov
rrnins policy. So far as can be at present
seen, the volume of greenbacks will not be
increased beyond the origiual four hun
dred millions ; but there will be a large in
crease iu the volume of national bank cir
culation to meet the wants of the middle,
southern and western States. New Eug
laad and Xc w York cling desperately to the
monopoly of this bank circulation they
have bad so long, but ineffectually.
As the natural result of these proceed
ings the gold premium has risen in New
York, and fhould the legislation be con
summated iu the spirit of these votes, the
premium will rise fetill higher. A great
deal depeuds upon the policy of the l'resi
dent, whose views and intentions arc again
reported directly in the face of these pro
ceedings and much iu the same touc as
Lad been previously stated. To add to
the uncertainty, the reBumptionists iu the
Senate confidently predict that the Presi
dent will veto any act for inflation. This
docs not agree with the announcements to
which we have referred, both of which
agree that the President is in favor of free
banking, though he is in favor of making
all the currency redeemable. What seems
to be beyond dispute is that all the fancy
financial schemes are defeated. There will
lw no issues of interest-bearing currency un
der any disguise, and thus compounds,
threc-sixty-fives, and all the rest are hud
died on" the stace in a buueh. Congress
could not be hoodwinked again into sad
dling the Treasury with a load of interest
on mere paper circulation.
It is also gratifying to notice that the
elaborate essays in favor of continued
greenbacks and against the national bank
currency have been treated with cntirr
contempt. The wise uieu who regarded
Congressmen as ignoramuses because they
would not abolish tfie bank currency have
had only their labors for their pains. The
national banking system has given entire
satisfaction to the people, and is now too
Cnnly rooted to be shaken by dreamers
and enthusiasts. We could wish that in
extending the system Cougrcss would guard
agaiust its being again monopolized by one
corner of the Republic, and secure its gen
eral distribution. Also, we could wish
that effort might be made to secure the
redemption of all the greenbacks and bank
i!otos at some future time, f..r even if the
period bo two or three years distant, it
will be something definite to work up to.
The pressure that has forced this action
on both houses of Congress is the stagna
tion iu business, and the general embar
rassment, anxiety and uneasiness of busi
ness men for want of any definite basis of
calculation. In mercantile affairs almost
any basis that ie well adjusted and not
drifting and uncertain can be worked up
to, and though it is true that the rampant
kjteculative spirit in New York gives an
aspect of uncertainty to our currency that
really docs Dot beloug to it, yet it the policy
of the government be once definitely set
tled, the Treasury Department commands
ample power to restrain -the gold premium,
and will use it resolutely.
Before the panic the Treasury held $14,-"-0,0U0
of greenbacks that were retired by
-JcCulloch but not canceled, and ever since
were regarded as reserve in ca6e of emer
gency. When the panic came the reve
nues collapsed so suddenly and alarmingly
that the government had either to use
this reserve or to sell interest-bearing
bonds. Some twenty-six millions of the
reserve was used before the revenues re
covered. This was a loan without inter
est. Rut strictly speaking it was not in
flation, for the currency had been in circu
lation before and had never been canceled,
and was always regarded in the current
calculations of the financial situation as
within reach just as much as the reserves
iu the banks.
In explanation of the action of Congress,
it may be urged that the Secretary of the
Treasury was very solicitous of an increase
df taxation to enable the revenues to meet
current demands, and to this Congress has
been averse. The situation could be re
lieved by selling bonds to raise money, by
increasing the taxes, or by the ihsue of the
reserve greenbacks, and Congress has
chosen the last. Revenue might have
been had by repealing the ten per ccut. re
duction in the tariff. Rut that would not
have relieved the scarcity of currency.
And if our increase of bank circulation is
to take place there must lc an increase of
the basis of redemption, which is at pres
ent greenbacks, or else provision must be
made to substitute sieeic for greenbacks
and thus put the Litter iu general circula
tion. The isolated aud sectional character
tf the policy of the chief commercial cities
has been strikingly exhibited iu this con-u-rt.
Their clamor has been incessant
M?a:Mbtthe paper currency, while it now
Hjx ars that a vast majority of the people
s.re perfectly satisfied with it, and are de
termined not to be deprived of what has
served them so well in times of great dan
ger and difficulty. Rut the combination
of Pennsylvania and New Jersey with the
entire south and wet has an important
jolitical significance that should n;t be
overlooked.
Connecticut Elfxtiox. The election
in Connecticut on Monday resulted in favor
of the Democracy. The entire Stato ticket
has been elected, giving Ingersoll for Gov
ernor a majority rauging somewhere Iks
tween l.SOO and 2,MX, aud a majority in
both branches of the Legislature, which
wiil secure the Uuited States Senator.
This result is largely due to the temper
ance party, who ran a separate ticket,
which drew most of their support from the
Republican ticket.
The coffee speculators are in grief be
cause their coffee is likely to be all
"grounds." The recent rise, it appears,
was the result of a speculative movement,
and the jobbers who purchased large stocks
in anticipation of still further advances,
fnd themselves: badly "stunk"1 the supply
cot being short, m was represented. A
ft-w days since the regular steamer arrived
at New York with sixteen thousand sacks,
and an extra steamer brought ten thousand
sacks additional, thus furnishing an ample
f npply for present wants.
Aboi'T Fi:i:s, Ac Under the above
heading some political Solomon, w ho signs
himself "General Reader," ventilates him
self in the last Ih-mormt. What his ob
ject is or what he intends by his communi
cation, tr rather muddle of facts and fan
cies mingled together, is altogether incom
prehensible, lie commences by sayiug
that two of the auditors have assumed the
"perplexing position of schoolmaster in
county affairs.'' This is certainly a uew
office peculiar to the Democracy, and prob
ably means that the "schoolmaster was
abroad"' during the administration of the
Democratic Ring Commissioners, when
plundering the county was the order of the
day a few years since. lie next pitches
into the County Treasurer, aud st cms to
be terribly indignant that tlio Vudilois
should have complimented Mr. Cadwalla
der, the lato Treasurer, for his ability and
correctness in the discharge of his duties
while in that otlice. The simple fact that
the Democratic Auditor, w ho cut his name
from the report after it was confirmed by
the Court, joined iu this commendation,
should be a sufficient answer. We would
simply refer this modern Solomon, how
ever, to the Democratic Auditor, whom he
iguorantly supposed had not signed the
report which had so justly complimented
Mr. Cadwallader. When he explains that
fiisjt it will be time to refer to the "obscur
ity that rests on the mind of the geueral
reader," which, properly speaking, is found
ouly in his muddle of charges. Rut the most
remarkable feature of this communication
is the charge that Mr. Cadwallader is a
defaulter to the amount of 7,832. C3, which
is in the following words :
"I think I can show you in five minutes
that the Treasurer went out of office with
at least S7,S;!2.i3 of the county's mouey in
his pocket, aud if so he should be made to
pay over the same to his successor, with
interest lrom the time of closing their re
port." This, in fact, is the only intelligible
charge made, and the only one worthy of
notice, and as it is a grave charge he is
bound to prove it true, not by mere asser
tion, but by facts and figures. Unless he
does this, lie must expect to be looked upon
by the community as a stupid and wilful
slanderer.
The total receipts from internal revenue
for the month of March were S7,781,CHS 16;
and for the fiscal year to that date, 73,417,
5"0 0'.. The Secretary of the Treasury
thinks his receipts for the cunent fiscal
year will cover all but the sinking fund,
$30,000,000. He is getting customs re
ceipts, gold, about as rapidly as was ex
pected. The legalization of the 8 14,000,000
reserve will of course increase the public
debt that much, but the sinking fund for
this year may be taken from that, lie says
the five million dollars of gold to be sold
during the present month is the only dis
bursement of gold to be made by the govern
ment during that time, and this amount
will hardly be felt, as he anticipates heavy
importations. He favors the government
keeping the gold so as to prepare for the re
sumption of specie payments. He inti
mates his intention, as soon as the Pour
Hundred Million bill shall become a law,
to Euspend the gold sales aud commence
paying out legal tenders.
We notice in last week's Dc.sut that
a member of the "Ring" has "found a
subject." It is so seldom that any of the
Ring find subjects except the county funds,
on which the' had been feasting for years
pabt, that they become desperate whenever
they hear the name of any of the present
efficient county officers. This member
wants information, however, which is an
indication that he ii seeking some knowl
edge with a view to becoming a wise Solo
mon among his gang, and asks "what it
costs the county to puff the Commissioners'
clerk" for his elficienc)'. We would state
that, according to the regular rates of
newspaper publishers, the Auditors' re
port, including the iJtraocrat, the costs
will probably reach the "enormous" sura
of S3.30, and we presume that the Audi
tors calculate that the money derived from
"Ring" tax collectors, whose duplicates
counted short, either iguorantly or design
edly, which Mr. Gray, the Commissioners'
clerk, has recovered for the county, and
which amouuts to about 1,050, will more
than ray the costs. At least there will be
abalance left of some sixteen hundred and
forty dollars, of which amouut the tax
payers were no doubt robbed annually while
the King party was in power.

A Patent Poktamle Eire Escape.
We find in the Titusville Ik ml J. the fol
lowing description of a valuable invention
a patent portable fire escape :
It consists of a simple iron tu!e nine
inches in length, with a lever attaehed,and
through this tube passes a quarter-inch
rope of any desired length. The wmlus
operandi of working the apparatus is to
fasten one end of the rope to the inside of
the room, pass it through the tube, and
allow the other end to drop to the ground.
The lever attached to the tube, together
with the tube itself, is held in the hand,
and by the slightest piessure on the lever
the motion downwards is arrested. There
are two belts attached to the tube, one is
evidently intended to sit i:i and the other
is passed around the back aud under the
arms. Everything being in readiness the
operator jumps out of the window, seated
in the sling and holding on lightly to the
tu1e and lever. The descent is rapid or
slow, depending on the pressure exerted
on the lever. It i really a most ingenious
contrivance, and weighs ouly a few pounds.
The election in Rhode Island ou Wednes
day resulted iu a Republican success.
Henry Howard, the present Governor,
was re elected, the opposition to him hav
ing been merely nominal. The prohibition
candidates for State offices polled very few
votes. The principal contest was over
members of the Legislature. The Assem
bly will be largely Republican, the majority
party, however, being divided in their
preference for United States Senator. The
election of the latter will take place the 1st
Tuesday in June. Tho friends of Gen.
Rurnside are very sanguine of success.
Municipal elections were held on Mon
day, in Ohio, and in most of the cities and
towns outside Cincinnati the question of
prohibition was an issue. The crusaders
carried New Lexington and Morrow, and
tho liquor people Washington Court House,
Waynesville, Pomeroy, prauklin, Ratavia
and Pique. In Dayton, the Democratic
city ticket was successful, while a Republi
can Council was chospn.
Report of tite Lehigh and Eastern
Railroad. We arc in receipt of the Pre
sident's report of the Lehigh and Eastern
Railway. The work has already been
commenced to complete the connecting link
of railroad from the New England States
to Sai Erauciseo. The route is almost in
a direct line from Pittsburgh via Sunbury
to Boston and will avoid the seaboard
cities, and will open up the heart of the
lchigh coal business to the Eastern states
aud give them facility for delivering of coal
from the miners every twenty-four hours.
The President of the road, S. P. Kasc, Esq.,
in his roport says :
The following table of distances from the
eastern end of the Danville, Ilazleton and

Cost of Transportation.
The estimate for the carrying coal upon
railroads, ranges from l to If cents per
ton per mile, of 2,240 lbs. It is jieifectly
safe to estimate the cost of carrying coal at
H cents per ton per mile, which will leave
a handsome profit for the railway com
pany. Then basing our calculations upon 11
cents for the shortest route (whicn should
be the standard price to be charged), 344
miles at 1 cts., coal will cost in Boston for
freight $5.16, coal at the mines delivered in
cars, worth if 2. 50, roakinz the cost in Bos
ton 27.6G, delivered directly into the vari
ous coal yards without rehandling, and
delivered from mines every twenty-four
hours.
To compare these prices and advantages
over other competing routes it will be
necessary to enter into the calculation of
what it costs by the Lehigh and Susque
hanna, and Jersey Central, or the Phila
delphia and Reading Railroads, and by
water to Boston.
The lowest rates I am authoratively in
formed, delivered from the mines to Boston,
viz., the last named routes, is about $7.50
per ton ; to this we must add the loss of
handling twice, equal to seven per cent.
Secondly, the transportation by rail to
the various towus, cities and mauufactories
from the seaboard at Boston, say one dollar
per ton. Thirdly, the deterioration of coal
in value when exposed to the atmosphere
six months, eight per cent. Fourthly, the
capital required to purchase coal to keep
on hand nine months of the year, will run
up as follows :
1. Firm cost on wharf in bo!on J7.50
2. 7 per cent, loaa haudtii.g ft-Jt

Now the reader will perceivo the im
mense loss to the New England Status are
sustaining, all for the waut of an all rail
rote to the coal fields of Pennsylvania.
To apply this calculation further we
must coutcmplate the quantity of coal actu
ally consumed aunually throughout the
Eastern States, and compare the difference
of cost by the present rail and water routes
o the all Mil route.
First. Our statistics show a consump
tion of about five million I his throughout
the Eastern Suites that could be reached
by the Lehigh and Eastern and New
England Railroads.
The difference of cost being I wo dollars
and eighty-four cents per ton (52.84), will
equal a loss of fourteen million two hundred
thousand dollars (14,2K),000).
This immense amount of money is lost
to the New England States annually, all
for the waut of expending less than half of
that amount of money to build this Lehigh
and Eastern Railway. But until now no
opportunity has been proffered by the State
of Pennsylvania by granting the necessary
charter, for the purpose of rendering the
facilities so desirable ; but we do only
reach the Iehigh coal field by this all rail
route, but at the western end of the Lehigh
and Eastern we connect with the Danville
aud Ilazleton, which connects with tho
Philadelphia aud Erie, and by its branches
and connecting roads leads to Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, St. Louis, and the great West.
Thus, in view of the fact that this being
at least one hundred and fifty miles iu dis
tance and time saved, the shortest route to
Boston, the great bulk of trade destined to
Boston, Halifax aud intermediate points
on the various roads will necessarily take
the all rail route, thereby rendering the
facility for the transportation of all kinds
of manufactured waies and merchandise
from the East to the interior of Pennsylva
nia and the far West. Return cars will be
laden with cereals of the West, thus sup
plying the Sheffield of America with the
farm products aud necessaries of life with
out passing through the hands of your
commission merchauts, and changing from
car to vessel at your seaboard cities at the
necessary additional expense to the con
sumer. American Locomotives in Russia.
The Baltimore Su.i says : Philadelphia
is about to ship fourteen locomotivus to
Odessa, Russia. The freight is 1,200 per
locomotive. Some years ago the English
were disagreeably surprised when the Bel
gians first competed with them in this line
of business, and this Amcricau venture
will be likely to give them a uew emotion.
Russia has long been a veritable place for
English railway men, although the Ger
mans as well as the Belgians have been
comjH'ting with them. Several new lines
of railroads are to be const tuc ted in the im
mense and still undeveloped region of south
ern Russia. These welcome drafts upon
Americau machine shops may be expected
to increase. Beginning as far back as 1843
it is known that Russia entered into con
tracts with Americans for locomotives, as
well as the full equipment of her first great
railroad of 4W miles from St. Petersburg
to Moscow, the contracting firm including
Mr. Thomas Winaus, of Baltimore, with
Mr. Harrison, of Philadelphia, who has
recently died, and Mr. Eastman. Their
contracts were for many millions of dollars,
aud included, about 18o0, a new one to
"remount" that is, renew and keep in
good repair the whole of the rolliug stock
for twelve years.

Another Fire at iTIIllerstowii.
A FEARFUL LEAP FOR LIFE.
Special to Titusville Herald.
MlLLERSTOWN, April 4.
Tho Hemphill farm, a short distance
southeast of Millerstown, was the scene of
an explosiou, fire aud probable loss of life,
at eight o'clock this evening. It seems
that two men, named Clark and Herrick,
working on the Blair well, wero in the act
of pulling the tubing. Derrick was on the
top of the derrick and Clark was standing
on the floor bcueath, when an explosion
took place, igniting the nil tanks and der
ricks. Clark rushed prccipitiately from the spot
and escaped with slight burns, but Derrick
jumped from the top of the derrick with
his clothes on fire, and ran up the hill,
where some men succeeded in extinguish
ing the flames on his person. How he es
caped without broken bones after jumping
from the top of a fifty foot derrick is some
things which borders on the miraculous.
His injuries are severe, although not neces
sarily fatal. The oil as it poured its liquid
fire down the hill toward Millerstown
threatened to ignite numerous other tanks ;
these tanks, however, did not happen to be
full and the oil burned itself out after des
troying one dwelling and fifteen hundred
barrels of oil.
Severe Battle in Cuba. A letter
from Havana says the information obtain
able about the recent battle of Guasimas
shows that it was one of the hardest con
tested fights that have taken place between
the insurgents and Spaniards. Of the
wounded brought to Havana most all have
received their injuries by the musket. They
report that there were over two hours'
fighting at close quarters. Brigadier Ar
minan, with about three thousand men
cavalry, infantry, ana artillery becoming
aware of the massing of the insurgents un
der Maximo Gomez, marched forward,
aud ou the loth encountered them in large
force. The attack was immediately begun
by the Cubans, so that Arminanhad bare
ly time to form a square, placing his artil
lery in the centre, the cavalry being or
dered to cut its way through the enemy's
lines aud procure reinforcements at Puerto
Principe. The cavalry was fearfully cut
up, very few being left to bring the news
of the critical position of the Spanish cot
umn. These succeeded in reaching Puerto
Principe, their pursuers being close at theii
heels. Brigadier Basiones. with a column
of two thousand, started out. but had
hardly gone leyond the suburbs of Puerto
Principe before he was attacked by the
Cubans. Basioues succeeded in pressing
ou, and had another severe encounter with
the insurgents, finally uniting his column
with that of Arminan. The losses of the
Spaniards were very severe. It is reported
that over 40 officets are killed and wounded.
Both sides fought with great bravery.
Desperate Valor ok theAshantee
Warrior Natives. A correspondent
writes from the field : "Tho Ashantees
fought like demons. They were present in
enormous numbers, pouring on our gal
lant troops by thousands, yelling and
screaming hideously. Although our firing
told on them immensely, they had to be
driven from point to point, and even when
pushed out of the successive villages re
turned to the attack. In the thickest parts
of the brush thej' climbed the trees in order
to fire more effectually upon our troops.
The order of advance from Insarful was as
follows : The attack was made in the form
of a square, through the middle of which
ran the main road, and the line extended
about 300 yards on either side. The Forty
second rcgimeut. preceded by Lord Giffbrd
and his scouts, formed the frout line, with
two of Raft's guns in the centre, Gordon's
Houssas in a dense corner of the jungle.
It really seemed as if nothing but the fail
ure of their ammunition would drive them
out. Now at one point, now at. another,
along the hill crest they poured down
crushing volleys. Life they counted at no
price if only a white man could be killed.
It was the same desperate obstinacy we
had seen at Ahrakrampa. They climbed
trees to fire with more deadly effect, but
the mass just lay down and shot till 6hot
themselves or short of ammunition. Sir
Archibald Alison, brigadier of the white
troops, declares he never came under a
fiercer fire iu India or the Crimea.
A Murderous Assault. While a
party of about twenty persons were return
ing from a visit to Campbell's Church, near
Carboudale, 111., on Saturday week, they
were fired upon from an ambush, and two
of them Mrs. Hansell and David Bullmer
were dangerously if not fatally wounded.
The assassins are unknown, but the affair
is supposed to be the result of an old fued
between the Bullmer family and some of
their neighbors. In the same fued Bull
mer's father lost his life three months ago.

IIOSS TWEED'S TROUBLES CREMATION
THE POLICE DETECTIVES AND WHAT
THEY DO INFLATION TE5IPERANCE
THE OERMANS.
New York, April 7, 1S74.
BOSS TWEED
Doesu't like his quarters at Blac&well's
Island. It was expected by the burly Boss,
and his friends, that the officials on the Is
land would not dare to treat the great
swindlers as other criminals were treated,
but they were grievously mistaken. Boss
was shaved, and cropped, and arrayed like
Joseph in a coat of many colors, with pants
to match, and he was put to just such ser
vice as he was fit to do. Consequently he
has tired of it, and invokes tho law to get
hira out. He wants to go to Ludlow-st.
Jail, where a man may have as many rooms
and just such living as he chooses to pay
for. Judge Davis seutenced Tweed to im
prisonment in the "county jail" which he
corrected to ''the penitentiary." The
Boss's counsel insist that he had no right
to make the correction and that Ludlow-st
jail is the place where he must be confined.
They want the Boss in quarters where he
can reorganize his court ; where wine and
wassail will be as of yore, where bj can
bring together the scattered hosts Ci" Tam
many, and be once more the dictator of
New York Democracy. For after all they
miss the great organizing ability he un
doubtedly possesses. The Boss will get out
before long entirely. Then look out for
a ring that will be a ring
CREMATION.
There has been a society organized here
for the purpose of doing away with burying
the dead burning the body instead. The
members pledge themselves to be burned as
fast as they die, and, as if to show the world
the value of the idea, one member died last
Friday and was burned. The coffin, we
are told was placed in an upright position
inside a fire-proof receptacle, through which
artificially heated, air was forced ia a cur
rent, carrying all the noxious gases up a
chimney, and leaving after the process a
small residue of snow-white ashes only.
The process was completed in twenty min
utes, at a cost for fuel of $2.23. The ashes
were gathered and placed in an urn in the
parlor of the father of the deceased. Those
who are urging it say that the cost of dis
posing of remains is brought to a very small
point ; that the idea of consuming a body
by fire is not so repugnaut as to put it into
the ground to decay ; and that as ceme
teries are certain to be crowded, cremation
is better ou sanitary grounds. The papers
are all discussing it. It will doubtles.s come
into quite general use.
THE POLICE.
To keep such order as is kept in New
VorV- r..nirp onnrmv nf rm!i,.pmen In the. :
-- J " ' ' -
iiuiiiueroi z,;.uv, which cosis iuu uujr iiuuui
$3,500,000 per annum. This includes ouly !
the regular policemen. The ;
DETECTIVES i
are a body by themselves, who, while they
are regularly appointed, get no pay from
the city, but from those for whom they
work. These men seem to be a necessity,
but it is questionable whether they do not
make more crime than they suppress or
prevent. The first requisite is to know,
personally, every thief in the country, their
peculiarities and manner of work. We will
suppose a bank has been robbed and a de
tective sent for. He looks at the work,
notes how the thief or thieves got into the
building, and how the safe wasopcrated on,
and determines in his mind exactly
, i .!, i us proprietor's ciaim ior ii, is ampiy proveu
i mind exactly wuoi.f. ; ;-Y..
did it. He recognizes his work as accur
ately as a shoemaker would a shoe he had
made. Suppose bonds to the amount of
$50,000 have been taken. The Bank offers
$10,000 for the recovery. The astute gen
tleman knows that "Jemmy Dav.son"
"cracked the crib," and he knows also that
the finding of Jemmy would be an impos
sibility. But he knows Jemmy's woman,
or one of Jemmy's friends, and so in his
good time he informs Jemmy's woman that
the recovery of the bonds stolen from the
Bank, of-so-and-so is in his hands, and
waits. Presently Jemmy's woman enters
into negotiation with him, the bonds are
returned, the Bank pays the $10,000, which
the thief and detective divide, and it is all
over. There are very few arre.-ts, and
convictions of big thieves, for the reason
that the thief is necessary to the detective,
and the detective to the thief. They have
a common interest in fact they work to
gether. To arrest a skillful, daring and in
dustrious burglar would be to destroy his
business. Another use these men arc put
to is
MIADOW1NO
suspected people. For instance, if a bank
officer or merchant suspects an employee of
appropriating money ,a detective is put upon
his track. Wherever he goes, there will be
behind him a gentlemanly man, who never
losses Bight of him. The number of times
he goes into drinking places the very li
quor he drinks, the kind of money he pays
for it, the gambling places he goes into,
and the houses of ill fame be visits all
these are recorded, and so recorded that it
can all be bi ought home to him. Tbey
never know they are being followed, for the
detective is too adroit for that. The result
of his bbservations are given every room
ing to his employers, who have no difficulty
in coming to very accurate conclusions. If
the suspected man has a salary of $5,000
per annum, and no other resources, and if
he is living at the rate of $10,000, they
have no difficulty in coming to the conclu
sion that he is stealing from tlicni $5,000
per year. And then, ju& when he fancies
he is all secure, he is taken to task. He of
course denies the charges, but the detective,
with his fatal book, catches him, and he con
fesses his sins. But these are not the only
use they arc put to. If a woman suspects
her husband of unfaithfulness she resolves
her doubts by the aid of these convenient
persous, and rice versa. They are paid high
salaries, and may be of some use to the
community, but I doubt it. They make
thieving a safe business, at all events.
INFLATION.
The proposition to inflate the currency
meets with the inost determined opposition
in this city. The press is howling against
it, and the citizens back the press. The
Herald holds that inflation means repudia
tion and that if it is persisted in, it will
provoke a civil war. The fact is New York,
having so much of the wealth of the coun
try, wants as little currency as possible, for
the less there is the more secure her grasp
upon the country. Then again the purple
nosed old gentlemen who are out of busi
ness, with a million or two, waut the pur
chasing power of the dollars they have to
be as great as possible. Their view of the
case is purely selfish. They do not lake
into account the needs of the country. They
want to continue to hold in their own hands
the financial destiny of the country : to let
on the steam and turn it off just when the
turning on and cutting off' will make them
the most power. The Herald's talk of
trouble is alUbosh. There is a great of ar
rogant egotism in a great city, but the city
of New York knows very well that while
the country cau get along very well with
out New York, New York can't get on at
all without the country. The war between
the East and West which the Herald is try
ing to force, would make New York a de
serted city in six months. The war with
the South illustrated ibis. The great trade
the trade that had been courted was
tho Southern. A Southern merchant was
made as mueh of as a Barbary prince,
while the western merchant had no atten
tion shown him whatever. The war broke
out, and six months after the firing upon
Fort Sumter nine-tenths of all the houses
in the soutnem traue were nanKrupt.
The Western trade is now the big trade,
and any interruption of relations would be
fatal to nine-tenths of the merchants and
bankers. Whatever sectious may get to
warring with each other, New York and
the West will not be the combatants.
TEMPERANCE
continues to be the absorbing topic iu all
the churches, and it has got its grip on peo
ple outside. Some thirty divisions of Sons
of Temperance have been organized in this
city within three weeks, and also a very
large number of othe secret societies having
the same object in view. Cases of "swear
ing off" are as thick as blackberries. Say
what you will about the work of the women
in the West, it has had the effect of awak
ening the public conscience to the evils of
liquor drinking, and has resulted in organ
ization against it everywhere. For the
first time in this country, an organization
of Germans opposed to liquor has been
made. Some sixty Germans met Friday
night and agreed not ouly not to use stim
ulating liquors themselves, but to labor
among their countrymen to change their
practices and opinions. And they are
making converts. A great many Germans
have discovered that they can get on with
out wine or beer, and that life is endurable
without it. If the new idea gets a foothold
among the Germans, it will be very near to
the control of the city. Piktro.
'Housekeeper" of Health.
The liver being the great depurating or
blood cleansing organ of the system set
this great "housekeeper of our health" at
work, and the foul corruptions which gen
der in the blood, and rot out, as it were,
the machinery of life, are gradually expell
ed, from the system. For thi9 purpose Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery with
very small daily doses of Dr. Pierce's Plea
sant Purgative Pellets arc pre-eminently
the articles needed. They cure every kind
of humor from the worst scrofula to the
common pimple, blotch or eruption. Great
eating ulcers kindly heal under their mighty
curative influence Virulent blood poisons
that lurk in the system are by them robbed
of their terrors, and by their persevering
and somewhat protracted use the most
tainted systems may be completely reno
vated and built up anew. Enla rged glands.
tumors and swellings dwindle away and
disappear under the influence of these great
resolvents.

Dear Dr. Pierce :
When I was 12 or 15 years of age I took
what is called King's Evil, and by constant
doctoring it would heal in one place and
break out in another. 1 first found your
name in the Christain Advocate, and sent
10 miles for the first bottle, which did me
more good than all other medicines I ever
used. I am 2s years old and doctored witn
five doctors, and not one of them helped
me so much as your bottle of Discovery,
I have got well aud able to do a good day's

it is important that remedial agents should

Davis' "Pain-Killer." the fame of which
has extended over all the earth, Amid the
eternal ices of the Polar regions, or beneath
the intolerable and burning suns or tne

found relief from many of its ills. The
effect of the Pain-Killer upon the patient,
when taken internally in cases of Cough,
