D?catur Democrat : We neglected to speak ot the deserved tribute of respect tendered to Judge Ilaynes at flunin. where he was in the discharge of his dushs when his term of office expired.

In connection with this excellent letter it may be worth while for u to reviva a delightful o'd London story of the Biropens Lionel de Ro'hchild, the tuo herof Sir Nathaniel. 8 me twenty years ago when Car dinal Wisrmtin presided over the Cthqlic church in Eogland, he ha 1 occasion to consut with Barou Lionel on a matter of bn-i-nei, and for that purp-s accepted an invitation to lunch at the b iron's s-'at of Gunnershiuy. While the pany were atliuich ai Engl fh lady, the wife of a cabinet minister, called on the b troness, who went out and aked her to join the party at lunch, ex p'aining that the only stranger present wa the cardinal.

Ro?tox, Jan. 11. The truth of the following horrible s'ory is no secret in B nton, but it lias not yet found its way into print: Lat Saturday the members of the Athenian club bad their annual dinner. This org tnizttion isc'tnpo8ed of artist?, newspaper men, and ruu-ieian, inclnding. I am sorry to 8y, a few frivolous and irresponsible Bohemians, who do not hesitate to scoff openly at perbovi and things which Bivton culture liold sacred." When the club was in that calmly judicial frame of mind which follows a good dinner, one of the few frivolous members arose and drew from bis pocket two newspaper blip. He was obliged to ak the club's assistance, he said, in a matter that had given him grave perplexity.- He held in his band extrac's from two philosophical drsHarses, which be would proceed to read. The club g-tve its attention to the reading, and then ihe young man explained bis dilemma. O.ie of the two extracts, hefsid, was a passage from a lecture of the Rev. Joseph Cook. He had occasion to-use it in a professional wav, but had unfortunately placed it alongside another clipping, containing the utterances of another philosopher, and there was no wsy of identifying the Cx)k ex'ract except by internal evidence of authorship. He appealed to the club to help him ont of this ditlioulty. The gentlem n pr-seut were greaMy pczz'ed. The editor of a tuoruing newafaner confessed himself nnab'e to fay which was Mr. Cook's phi'ofOpiy and which was the other manV. Nor uM an) b dy else.

The capture of the entire Turkis'i force, at Schipka pas-, iinibt her-gsrded as tattling the tate of Turkty. Even if England were now to interierv, either with arms or diplo macy, t-he could accomplish nothing. She has allowed the movement to pass when her assistance might have prevented Rua-Un mrc fs. With the lossofhtr opportunity, she lia lost her power. Russia, that grtat empire, having 00,000,OOu of population, an area of more than K 000.000 tqtiare milee, and an army of 701VO0 men, bicb can be readdy increased 10 1.2i0,000. is now, in a positioa to grap, with its iirver relaxing hand, an immediate addiiion to that vast territory. At Jast the long coveted priz- Cot stantinople, and the control of the Bxiphorus and the Dardamiles, for the poee-eion of which she has hereditarily maintained a struggle for many veers agait bt the combined foweis of Europe and Asia is within reach. The friendship which at ore period existed between the Enperor Alexander and Napoleon was bruk-tu off because Napoleon resisted Alexander's w ahes to drive the Turks out of Eunpe and gain pOi-?s'ion of C-ns'aotinopl-. During the conference at Talsit Alexander remarked that the Bospho rus was the "k-y 'o his f ioot door," to which Nat o'eon, with hi far r aching sagscity, remarked: "61 re. it is the key to the dominion f the world." That Rusda will now use that key, and that the possessions of England in India are in peril, no one can doubt who is familiar with the aggressive and grasping policy of territorial xretiMon, which ba3 always char aceriz-d the Russian gjvernment since the ruleof Pet-r iheGieu. Tuik-y will t-hare the fa'e of Poland and Hut'gtry, and the aims catamity may yet befall other nations, that have calmly and without any a;pirent concern been idle epecta'or of the heroic struggle of the Turks against the overwhelming hosts of Russia. Cut, to the predictions, the Erst of which are contained in the following lines. They were certainly published before the Crimean war(18o3). anr it is asserted, were made public in 1133: "In twh-e two hundred years, the Bsar, The descent Khali Mil. Hut I' t e Cock and Bull unite, Tue Hi ir k'.uiI not prevail. lut. look. In twice U-n years again, ' iA-t lolxin Know and fear, Therro'S shuil wax, the Crescent wane, Grow pule, and disappear."

France (the ock) and England (the bull) eent a fleet to the entrance of the Dardanelles, and otTered mediation, which b-ing rejected the porte ih clared war in October. 1853. Tbis waa the bpginnmg-of the "Ciimeau war," France and England having dclaie1 warin alliance wiih Tutkey against Rmsia, in March, 1351 In 1853 eacfl was concluded by congress at Paris. "The bear did not prevail." Twice ten years" from this period, brings us to 1876, during which year disturbances commenced in Herz-govina, Dsnia, Bulgaria, Montenegro and Bervia, which finally involved the porte in a war with the last two named provinces, and although attempts at compromise and mediation were made by the congress which assembled at Constsntinop'e in the fall cf 1876. 8?rvia alone yielded to Turkish authority. Montenegro refused all overtures looking to submission, ahd Russia, having completed preparations for the war, made haste to take such action as has already given assurance that The Croa shall wax, the Crosceut wane, Grow pule and disappear." The o.'her remarkable- prophecy is known as "Mother Shipton'e," and was published in 11S3. It was republished in 1GJ1. All tbe events predicted in it, save the last, which is to happen in the near future, have come to pass: Ctrr'agea wlihont ho-se shall go. Ami ncct'ienia All the world v th woe. Aronn i the world thoughts shall fly In the twinahmtnf an eye Water khnll yet more wonders do, "Now trang, yet haii be tru. The wo'M upside down hail be, And gold b found at. r ot of tree.

' The world to an eno ah ill come In lhleeu hundred and elghiy-one." Roth of the prophecies quoted are remarkable for tbe c ear and explicit statement of the everts which were predicted, end the lit ral fulfillment of both of them, so fnr as the ns,st is concerned, is not only remarkable, but very wonder'ul.

Tbe Mpe' bed chamber is an unpretending apartment, of no great t-ize, scantily furnished, and witrTbut fireplace and without car ix-ts rhe bed is simple and unadorned with curtains. Tne room contains no sofas or easy chairs, nor any of those articles of luxury to h found in the bed chambers of the wealthy. The window hangings and coverlet of .the bed are of red tilk. The doorof this bed room opens on a small room or pitsage, used as the pope's dining room, and leading into his private library. In tbis intermediate room an altar was recently placed; and his holiness, lying in his bed, with tbe room door open, was enabled to abit at maw. For thirty days Pius IX reiuainei In the bed room, receiving bta floors ait'ing up in his bed. Twice a day the windows were opeued for a few minutes ata tim to admit fresh air. Tire room was never warmed by a brazier, and tbe cardinals had no room to ait down when visiting his holinefs. His holiness, hss not. yet been ahle to make much use of the movable chair procured f r him from Paris by Cardioal de Falloux. In the private library to which the pope was moved on tbe 231 of December there is much more space, ant! there will be plenty of roorn or holding the consistory. IVrhaos the oontistory msy be held in the throne room, anl not in the library. Cardinal Manning, at his private Interview with the pope on the 23 1, did not observe much Ceroep'ihle alteration io the appearance of Is holiness, but could not fall to notice the weakness and debility occasioned by such a

long continuance in bed. The debility, It is hoi-ed, will s-Mn di-appear, especially as his iolines hss taken nourishment freely during tbe last ten days. M1.VKF.

Totals .. 213.309 c0,li0,7ai It appears, on combining bullion and coin, thtt the silver movement for the eleven years was as follows: Domestic exrons, $2211.719.944; exports of imports. $74 890,765; aso:reizt exports, $304,O46,7c9; imports, $101 373 100; excesj of exjKjris over import, $203,273,009 Our exports of go!d for the came prixl were $1J9,U59 903, yr not- far from double of our exports of silver. Tais proportion indicates that our chances of retaining and accumulating fci'ver, as compired with gold, are about two to one in lavor of the former metal. B 'ginning with fiscal year 1877, a slatement is to bu found of the different kinds of domestic silver co'n exported. Of the $9.292,743 sent abroid in that year, trade dollars comprised $8,072 olHi. the rest being fractioual coins. .Sjfjra.it ho statistical record has been published, the exports of these dollars since the clo-e of the tiicat year have bAen as follows: July, $1.331.192; Angusr, $38 17G; September, $t29.7t8;- October, $381. G08; total, $2,879,791. At the same rate ot export for the remaining eigh( months of the fiscal year the amount would rucb a total of $3 039 32. or little short of what it was in 1877. With such a state of fact?, it is exceedingly ptrange that the secretary 1 f the treasury, in his annual report dated December 3, 1877. should say : ' lu October last it becime apparent that there was no further export demand for trsde do'Iars, but deposits of silver bullion were made, and such dollars were demanded of the mint for circulation of the United States, that the owner might secure the difference between' tbe value of Euch bullion in the market and United Suites notes. At the time tbe mints were fully occupied by the issue of fractional and otbercoins on account of the government. Tnerefore, under authority of the law referred to (joint resolution of July 22, 1876 ) the secretary directed that no further issues of trade dollars should be made until necessary again to meet an export demand." In pr int of fact the exports of trade dollars were $477,875 in October, 1876. or only about 25 per cent greater than in October, 1877. It is remarkable, therefore, that our export of $3S l,(x8 should have been taken as evidence of no further export demand." On such a basis, the conclusion seems to be a forced one, illogical and arbitrary. Even the secretary's exercise of authority in directing the mint officers to stop the coinage of trade dollars appears strained, because the joint resolution did not contemplate an absolute stoppage, but limitation merely, tbe language employed beirg ''to limit coinage thereof to such an amount as he may deem sufficient to meet tbe export demand for tbe same." Forasmuch as the statistical record shows that the export demand, at the time of giving the order, was about 73 per cent, of what it had been at the corresponding -time in the year previous, the object of the joint resalu tion was defeated by directing a stoppage of tbe coinage, that object bring to supply, export demaod, not to take away the supply. The secretary's action suggests huch hostility to the silver dollar as will brook us coinage of it in any form whatever. Taking the combined movement of coin and bullion, both gold and silver, in tbe 11 years we have specified, the exhibit is as .follows: Domestic exports, $093,360,328; exports of imports, $110,916 374: total exports, $804 300.702; imports. $215,047,206; excess of exports over innoris, $559 -59,436 an adverse balanco which certainly docs not prop up our power to resume ppecio payments, nor afford a hopeful ou' look. American and Foreign Dwellings. The Plumbcr.l A gentleman of experience who has lately returned from abroad makes some -comparisons between the hduse fitting, in England and Scotland and thoe in this country which are greatly to tbe advantage of tbe latter. Being of foreign birth, though -a resident of New York, his views may therefore be considered impartial. He remarks that while in respect to exterior appearance the fine dwelling boues abroad are superior to those in the United States, they can not compare with ours in respect to interior arrangements and comfort. Many conveniences which are in universal ue here, as speaking tubes, bells, dnmb waiters, burglar alarms, stationary tubs, closets, basins, anunciators, etc., aie rarities, or at least exceptional, inordinary, private houses in Great Britain. . In respect to plumbing work in particular we are far ahead of our British cousins, especially in respect to the finish and execution of tbe work. Juntas in English railway trains a wa'er closet is an unheard of . convenience, so also many things wbich we deem essential to health and comfort are absent from, Eng'dsh residences. The interior wood work of the latter clas of houses Is also Inferior to what may bo seen here. Yet English joiners have a . very exalted opinion of their o n attainments. We can recall an occasion when an English steamer was stove in on her voyage to this port, but her captain refused to have her repaired in New York on tha ground that

the work could b-j better done at home. No one would deny that it could hjve hern done there at lets co6t than in New York, but that the work would have been done any better there than here is pure assumption. The boose joinery in Paris is no better than that in England. As evidence of this we may quo the authority of the London Socie yof Art's n port u ion the Paris expesi. tion, which contains the following oj.iuion by an Englieh carpenter expert upon French jo'nery: x'Carpentery is gradurlly falling into disuse in Paris, in comequence of the eubstitulion of iron for rood, ar.d fetich specimens of work by French j .iners as we taw were mostly of a very rude kind. Their jmrtitions were made of rough and crooked tcantling, which any En?li:h purveyor would have condemned; thir j lists were placed at irregular interval, and as if laid at random by laborers, instead of being fixed by mechanic; their floors were tongued together and nade of boards of any length, so that often the board was joined half wsy between the j ists, with no more security than that given by a- narrow wooden tongue m l a support underneath; there was ai pjrefiily no knowledge how to wedge up a pice of framework; and in constquence of certain Uchtical mistakes in workmanship the doors In TJris almost invariably drop on ti e outtlde edge." In regard to Ftench plumbing it is even worse than the carpentry. Tbotigh the Paris sewers are world reno wned for their extent and conipleteneM, yet tke domestic water supply is not tibundant nor the sanitary conveuieuces ai all tdtquste. AT COLLEGE.
