WHEN DESTITUTE OF HUMOR. Swld to lie u Faro Indlcutlull of Mental f Poverty. There appear to bo whole raoea of men—the North American Intlitins anil I the Cingalese Verhltis, *or example,— j that arc destitute .if the sense of the ludicrous. And in th 1 higher races, | says the Fortniphtly lleview, this sense j is by no means universally found. The richest intellects possess it in amplest measure. The ab.-cnoe. of it is a I sure indication of mental jHiverty. I “Here oomes a fool, let's be pravo/'snid Charles Lamb upon one occasion. And j I remember a friend ■ t my own obI serving- of a somewhat taciturn person whom «e had met: “H» must Im* a man of sense, for, although he said little, ho laughed in the right place." That laugh is a manifestation of intellectual abundance or exuberance; it is something over and above the actual work of life. And so we may adapt to our present purpose certain words of Schiller’s in his lA-tu-rs on Aesthetic Kdueatfon: “Man sports (spielt) only when he is man in the full signification of the word, and then only c- lie a complete man (gan/ Menseh) when he sports.” I need hardly observe how grossly this faculty of the ludicrous may be abused. There is nothing more diubolical—in the strictest s-'iise of the word —than to turn into ridicule “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever tilings are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report.” There is no more detestable occupation Ihnn that of “sapping a solemn creed with solemn sneer.” Hut it is a maxim of jurisprudence. “Abusus non tollit usntn." And this holds Universally. CRIMINAL LINES. A Mnn'fl Charneter Cannot Always lie Discerned in HIm I'nce* "I used to ire a strong believer in physiognomy,” said 11. C. Itidley to a Washington Star writer, “but have lost some of my faith in it as a science. In fact, a man’s surroundings have very much to do with the character rhown bj - his face. I had an illustration of this coming Into Washington. When we left Chicago I noticed a group of men two or three seats in front of me, but paid no attention to them particularly, but after wo had gone about 50 miles I saw that one them was handcuffed. He was well-dressed, and at first I thought he did not look like a criminal, but soon saw lines that betokened cunning duplicity and n lack of morality generally. I became so interested that my gaze attracted the attention of one of the officers having him in charge, and he said: ’You seem to lie studying the man I have there. Pid you ever see him Ix'fore?’ I told him I had not, but I was a physiognomist, and was studying the criminal lines in the face. He prevailed upon me to make a report on the man’s character, which was greeted with laughter from the prisoner a-s well ns the officers. Then they explained i.hathe was of irreproachable character, and in a prank had tried on the cuffs, which belonged to the officer, and the key being lost, could not get them off. Then the criminal lines in the face all disap-

peared.”

JUNGLES OF GUIANA. A Mass of Vegetation That Can Scarcely Ho Penetrated. The vegetation of the Guinnas Is a devouring mass of green, which steadily encroaches, and is kept down, only by the ceaseless warfare of one plant upon another. A tree springs up, says W. Nephew King in Century, am! dnds its way to the top by its energy. It is no sooner established than ft parasite begins to climb its trunk and lace itself around the tree, until finally the grip of the parasite kills the tree, and both fall to ruin and decoy, leaving a spare, which is immediately occupied by new forms. To penetrate such a jungle is impossible without the use of a machete and ax. To keep a path open requires constant cutting. If you shoot a bird or an animal, it falls perhaps not more than 300 feet away; but it may require a half hour or an hour to reach it, and unless you can shoot from a canoe, and can drop the bird into the water, as a rule you cannot find your game after it is killed. Words cannot dotcrilie tiir beauty of this mass of green, vigorous vegetation, nor can one comprehend the difficulty of conquering such a wilderness unless one has actually grappled with it.

BUILDS MANY NESTS. Attempt at Fx plaining: an OM Hahit of Male Wrens. The London Field tells of many cases where wrens have built several nests, only one of which has been occupied, and easts about for an explanation. It appears front what T. M. Ward, of Sibtoa, Yoxford, SulTolk, s-iys, that it is the male bird that builds those unused nests. lie also observed that the builder of a nest which was never used jjaused aftej- rneh bit of nest material was put in place to sing in a loud voice. The odd nests are completely finished to all outward appearance. Sundry explanations of this remarkable habit hare been offered, one being that the odd nests are put up for the purpose of fooling the parasitical cuckoo, which depends on other birds to raise its young; but there is a poetical idea that it is the male bird's lone someness that urges him to build. A few American birds build duplicate nests, hut the matter has not been so thoroughly stud-ed by field ornithologists yet to admit of uu accurate explanation of the cause. Grafting flair. A dextrous French feat is that of grafting hair along the foreheads of women with whom nature has been cruel in arranging for the hair to grow too far back on the forehead or when the hair springs in on ugly, irregular line. From other parts of the, head new sprouting hairs are delicately extracted and replanted along the top of an un-i comely forehead.

DCGS NOT WELCOME. Jutt Ht l roj«*nt They Art* UnpoputHr It will \ o r«'meiiilx*red tbit the \)oor Indian, upon whose untutored mind the poet condescendingly eontnienls, is exhibited to us as being uml r the erroneous :mpr*v*don that, when la- shall be promoted to an equal sky, bis faithfid dog will bear hint eomixtny, says the Fall Mall Gazette. The im st sophisticated mind of the average I'.riu n does not, perhaps, carry the conception so fni ; still, that Union's idea undoubtedly i.s that where he goes his dog, at his chargee, may go too. It would be well, therefore, to point out at any rate just at present lie and his dog would net go to Leicester, because, though the Leicester hotel keepers would l>c quite ready and willing to receive him, they would in all preliability absolutely decline to receive—or, in legal phrase, to harbor—Ids canine companion. The reason for their declining to do so lies in the fuel that a Leicester hotel keeper has recently, in the opinion of the lord chief justice and Mr. Justice Wright, harbored a visitor’s dog cnee too often. This particular dog belonged to A.; r>., another visitor, at the same hotel, must needs take the dog for a drive in a cab. The dog may have been dissatisfied with the turnout, or he might have had private ends of his own to gain; but, anyhow, he bit the cab horse. The driver proceeded for compensation—not against H., through whose instrumentality the dog had been put in the way of biting the horse, nor against A., who, ns owner, might hare been considered resixmsible for the dog’s actions. The driver knew his dog owner’s net (ISfS), section 2, better than that. He proceeded against the occupier of the hotiseor premises where the dog was permitted to live—the hotel keeper, to wit, and he triumphed. That is why Leicester hotel keepers decline to harbor dogs just now. THE LIBRETTO. It Is th© Most luu»ortRnt Part of an Opera. First and foremost the composer must provide himself with a good libretto,says the Fortnightly Review. On this we should say roundly the whole fortune of the piece depends. A good libretto will make amends for bad music, hut good music will never make amends for a led libretto. If the libretto is light the music need not.necessarily lie flimsy. Indeed, w e can promise tlie composer that he may indulge his most, recondite vein ut times without danger, and throughout, the opera may write his very best and most valued music. The libretto will correct him when he is inclined to prose and become tedious. It will keep him from tripping; it will be his salvation if lie has any theories. Whatever Ilc does the opera will succeed—only provided that he 1ms a good libretto. In the second place he must provide himself with a good libretto. On this we should say roundly the whole fortune of the piece depends. The best music of the world, which sounds elegant ajid even sublime in the concertroom, if by any means itcould be transmuted into the music of the theater would fall flat and meaningless if linked with a bad libretto, so inextricably are the two intermingled—so important is a good libretto to the. composer. In the third place he must by oil means provide himself with a good libretto, for without it he can do nothing. In the fourth place he must do the earoe, and, having obtained the libretto, he has only to sit down and write the very host music which his training and his genius admit of, and with a good libretto his opera will be a success.

Costly UuildlnK IMutorlal. The Cincinnati Knquirer reports a curious occurrence. Early in May Mr. ^ urpin, a teller in the subtreasury at Cincinnati, missed a ten-dollar bill, w hich had been left upon a table. The weather was warm, and the windows were open. After searching the room, Mr. Turpin hunted over the garden and lawn. All was in vain; the bill was gone, and after awhile was forgotten. Some weeks later a high wind blew down n bird's nest near the house, and, as it chanced, Mr. Turpin picked it up and looked at it curiously. ITis attention was struck by a piece of paper of a peculiar color. He drew it out and it proved to lie a ten-dollar hill, the very one, no doubt, that he had lost. It was in pretty bad condition, but was redeemed at the treasury. 11,'ifl 8ta!>lo A) hid. Sydney Smith's son vvas given to horses and dogs, and his conversation savored of the turf, hut he begged to be allowed to appear at nn important clerical banquet which his gifted, parent was about to give, and was allowed a scat by agreeing to be silent throughout the meal. Unfortunately at the latter end of the dinner there occurred a pause, and the son broke in: “Isyour lordship able to tell me what was the condition of Nebuchadnezzar when he came off the grass?” Sydney Smith was horrified at his offspring’s rashness, hut retrieved the situation by remarking: “I’ve always told tny friends that my sou jwvssessed what might properly be called a stable mind.” fJontle A An amusing story is told of how the late shah fell asleep when he should have been the chief guest at a reception. In Persia they believe that a midday awakened person suffers grievous injury. What was to be done? A hand was dispatched to the shah’s resting place, with special instructions to the big drum. The result was successful. Not In the Enihnlralng ItuNlnesH. Once, when a man of great note died, his friends tried to get Hr. Holmes to “say a few kind words about the deceased which might lie published.” Hut he declined. “Ho you see?” he said, “they want to engage me in the embalming business! Hut I cannot help to preserve this fiy in amber.”

GUNPOWDER IN EARLY DAYS. \Ya> Poitf.lhiy !'«#»«! lu Warfare l., furo the Ueftlnning «»f llinfory.

It is a very que r mixture, made upuf three simple it d well-known substance*, no out of which will exph’de, although two will burn, says Lieut. John M. Ellleott in St. Nicholas. Nobody knows when or bow r vv as discovered, for a« far back into the dark ages as records or tradition will carry us, we find that gunpowder, though not used for guns, was know n. It was, no doubt, looked upon with awe and fear by the ancients on account of its flame, its noise, and its rending force; 1 ut their limited mechanical skill could suggest very little use for it. Possibly it was used in warfare long before the beginning of history; but the first wnn in historical times to form an idea of the terrible destruction which this awful, bursting, fiery substance might produce was tut English monk named Eoger Paeon. Monks, in his day, were the chemists, scholars and writers of the world; and this Roger Bacon traveled and studied much, and made continual experiments in his laboratory to prove for himself and to develop what he learned from others. He probably saw gunpowder among the Moors in Spain, and tried for himself its explosive effect. Then he wrote of its coiuiKvsition in the year 12G7, and in his writing suggested that it could he vised in engines of war to deal death and destruction to armies of men. Soon after Roger Bacon’s time his suggestions were taken up and guns were constructed first by binding iron l«rs together with hixvps to form a tube, then by easting a tube out of brass, with one end closed. Stones of suitable size were selected ns shot, and the powder had to be carried around in chests or barrels and shoveled into the muzzles of the guns, the stones l>cing rolled In after it. In spite of these drawbacks very large guns were built, for there was one used by Mahomet II. against the Greeks at the siege of Constantinople in 1453 which threw a stone weighing GOO (vounds a distance of one mile. MONEY USED IN WAR TIMES. Hare Collection of Currency Employed In Trade Durtuj- the Rebellion. There is a collection in this city.suys the New- York World, which is warranted to make the eye of the relicseeker glisten with delight. It is a coin collection, not of antiques which have the history of ages stamped on their faces, but of eoinsnone more than 55 years old, but each one of which tells not only the story of the nation, butalso u personal history. The coins are of 628 varieties, and represent the various metnl moneys issued by private individuals during three years of the rebellion. Each bit of brass or copper lias a different design stamped on it, and others a name and address. Occasionally a wag has announced in brass tones “I owe you one cent.” Delmonieo, the gatherer in of silver and go hi, found it necessary to send forth bits of metal stamped with Ids name. Of shoemaker, grocer and candlestick makers there are any number. One man announces to the world that 5,000 people are annually cured by his pills, while another inculcates the moral of “little by little,” presumably pennies, to insure wealth. The interest of the collection is not confined entirely to the comic, but to the manner in which they have been set up. Dr. George I!. Bond, of New York city, collected the coins with great care not later than 18G3, and arranged them in a design representing the front elevation of the capitol nt Washington. Brass pieces are so arranged as to suggest the windows and porticos. Around the coin design are arranged pieces of paper money used during the war. Including duplicates, just 1,282 articles have been employed. It is probably the only collection of its kind in the cottn(ry. The whole is inclosed in a frame five feet eight inches by four feet, an 1 is the property of Mrs. Kirschmnnn, of No. 140 Fifth avenue, Brooklyn. A Svritn'H Wliu;. The first surgical case that I had in the state of Arkansas vvas setting on arm that hud heen fractured by a blow from a. swan’s wing. The accident occurred on Swan lake, near Shawnee Village plantation, in Mississippi county, in the winter of isio, says a physician in Forest and Stream. The path nt, a hunter for the Memphis market, was “fire hunting” at night, and a hand of swans flew at the light. The man was in a little pirogue, and instinctively threw his arms up to protect hi* head. Th: 1 left arm vvas struck by the wing of one of the birds and sustained a compound fracture of the forearm, both bones being broken. PuiJe/l Two I octli for Kovcn^o. Hr. Dnugul was a famous Scotch physician, and as eccentric as h arm d. One day a inun came to consult him, in an agony of pain, arid, after an examination. the doctor told the patient he had an ulci rat d tooth and advised him to poultice the jaw. An argument ensued, during which the sufferer cried out; “What do you know about teeth?" At this, the doctor seized a pair of forceps and shouted: “I’ll draw every tooth in your head!” The alarmed patient ran out of the house, with the doctor in pursuit, who finally overtook him in the market place, and took out two of has teeth, in themidstof an interested crowd, A IltMlly-Broken Spine. James Stiles is in the hospital at Easton, Pa., suffering from a broken back. A year ago h© fell and broke his spinal column, and in spite of the doctor’s ideas be recovered. Since then he has broken his spinal column five times and has spent most of his time in hospitals.

The One Issue of T1 ij Campaign, The sole question upon which the contest lor four years’ control ot the IVderal (iovei'iimeiit will be made, in November, is whether onr money system shall be ha-ed upon gold and silver, or upon gold alone. The iieptihl eau party lias declared for the gold .standard, while the Iteinoeratie party hits declared for independent and equal bimetallism, at the present ratio. The EepiiMit an party will he reinforce J by I temoeratie gold bugs, and by foreign and domestic banking institutions of New York anil l he ot her great oilies, w ith their clients. The Democratic parly will he reinforced by the earnest advoi'ti'es of free coinage, without regard to previous party affiliations. The teiniKirarv calm which is following the storm at Chicago, affords a favorable opportunity to present the facts which underlie the controversy. In doing this, we will state only what is accepted history. In IkTii a small number of gold operators in Europe and America succeeded in securing the closing of the mints of the United States to the coinage of silver, which, equally with gold, is named in the Constitution as a money metal. Until that time the mints ot the United State- had always heen open to the free and unlimited coinage ot both metals on equal terms. Without a suggestion from any portion of the people, and without notice do them, without any debate on the subject in cither House of Congress, or the slightest reference to this mighty and far-reaching change in the law, silver money was struck down in the United States by the stealthy insertion, where it would not be noticed, of a provision in a bill of no general interest, to which it was not germane, anil which purported to he n mere revision of the laws governing the mechanical and administrative operations ot the mint. This perfidious legislation was the culmination of years of ctl'ort on the part of the great money lending and debt owning class. It doubled every debt, by reducing the value of the property of every del dor one halt. The world's total supply of each metal being about equal in coin value, the demonetization ot silver reduced the volume one half, and doubled the purchasing power of the remaining halt. The quantity ol all money i.st he measure of the value ot all property. The less the i|nantity of inoncy, the more property each piece of money will buy. These are familiar axioms, which none in good faith deny. The confiscation ot one half of all propcrlv other than money, for the benefit of those only who deal in the latter, was not instantaneous. Values tlid not fall to one half at once; they coiiiiueuced falling gradually, and the decline has continued ever since and is still continuing. Gold is the only property which is not daily depreciating in value, and is therefore hoarded by it- owners instead of being invested in the varied enterprises by which employment could be given to the millions now in enforced idleness, and profits to the investors. Business is paralyzed, and gloom and discontent prevail to an alarming extent. Efforts to restore free silver eoinage have only heen baffled by temporary expedients, which have been reluctantly supported by free silver representatives in Congress in their desire to preserve harmony in their respective parties. If they had acted together on this one question, just once, as the advocates ul the gold standard have invariably done, they would have prevailed in 1n7>. The BlandAllisnn art of that year restored the legal lender qualitv of the silver dollar, but limited coinage; the Sherman purchase act of IsiMi increased the amount of silver to be purchased and coined, hut thecomiujud to coin it was construed away, and the accumulation in the treasury of bullion tints caused was given as the reason for the repeal ot the law, which was accomplished in Ikltii. Having removed from the statute book the last enactment that provided for the coinage of any legal tender silver money, the enemies of bimetallism deny the legal tender t ualit, of the four hundred ami thirty mil ions of silver dollars now in existence in the payment of public obligations. The Secretary of the Treasury, following the example of his immediate predecessor, ami with the approval of the President, refuses to use -ilvcr dollars for redemption purposes, although by law even obligation of the gov eminent is payable either in silver or gold at its option. The operations the Treasury are thus as fully based on gold as though the legal tender quality of the silver dollars had already heen abolished by law. We are told that “the endless chain”at the Treasury Department will continue to revolve so long as the greenbacks or Treasury notes are presented for redemption. Neither gold nor silver is circulated in this counU'y. It is never demanded except for export. For this purpose it will he needed so long as we buy more than we sell. So long as our railroad bonds held in Europe are forced upon our market for whatever the_\ will bring in greenbacks, just so long will these greenbacks be presented at ourTreasury for redemption on foreign account. It is not the fearof silver coinage that Irightcns the holders ot railroad bonds, but the failure of the railroads to earn the money with which to pay interest either in gold or in silver. These reduced earnings are caused by the low prices which make production and inaufacture unprofitable. It will lie vain to hope for a balance of trade in our favor while the discredited bonds of our railroadare a leading article of import. The Republican party has eagerly supported the policy complained of. It has zealously upheld the Administration in the policy of gold redemption and the nullification of the law which makes silver a legal tender. It has professed to believe that thedruin on the gold in the Treasury is the result of diminished revenues, although not a dollar ot revenue is payable in gold, Its great financial leader Jtas
