Cheap Money.

The people of the United States have to in» little to make it and of being worth BEES destruction, a sum which properly belongs to the accountWf'the cost. The loss on coin by abrasion is a known and de-* terminate quantity,. and it is very small indeed. It takes an average of eighteen years of ordinary use for an English sovereign to wear down to the point where the mint rejects it for light weight, and even then it has lost but a fractional per. centage of its value. When we boast of the convenience and cheapness and ease of handling our fractional currency, let us remember that between coin and paper there is a vast difference in this item of absolute loss. If a man loses a coin somebody will probably 'find ft. The loss of the rags we use for small change ia more likely to be beneficial only to the Government that is relieved or the duty of redeeming it The first issue of fractional currency amounted to $20,215,635. Of this sum, on the Ist of August after more than ten years’ effort on the part of Government to call in and redeem this,.“money,” there remained outstanding $4,329,265. This has practically hot been reduced in five years, and it will never be reduced to $4,000,000—50 that the people have absolutely lost 20 per cent or the value of this entire issue. Of the second issue, at least $2,500,000 will never be redeemed, being 10 per cent, of the whole. In all, some $310,000,000 of fractional currency has been issued' by the Government—to say nothing of flie cords of counterfeit “ scrip” which the desire for cheap money has ? evoked—and., ft is safe to say that at least $10,000,000, or more than 8 per cent., has been, up to this time, destroyed, worn out 'Or irretrievably lost. This is a heavy-sum for the people to pay in thirteen years for “ abrasion” of small change only. The loss by destruction of legal-tenders his been. fer greater. The Government has been drawing in all it could get hold of, of the earlier issues, ever since 1869. The" first year $67,000,000 came in; $107,000,000 in 1871 • $58,000,000 in 1872;540,- - in 1874. The amount still outstanding at the close of the fiscal year 1878-74,.was over $58,000,000. We cannot be greatly out of the way in estimating that one-third at least of this amount will never be presented for re-demption-r-in other words, that on the issues of Government money between 1862 and 1869 there has been an absolute loss to the people of about $20,000,000, besides the incalculable relative loss by the depreciation of paper money. Ana on subsequent issues tiie loss will be great enough to make the total on all Government paper money up to the time of redemption, if we should come to specie payments in 1879, little if any short of $50,000,000. This is one of the penalties of cheap money. ft may be said, of course, that any kind of paper currency is subjected to the same danger of destruction. The danger is similar, but by no means so great, under specie payments as under the inconvertible system. Bank bills payable in coin cannot be kept long in circulation. They afe frequently replaced with fresh, notes. The average life” of a note on a Scotch bank is about ten days, and although it may be reissued it is never issued after it begins to be defaced. At the present rate of redemption of National Bank notes in this Country the whole issue would go through the Treasury on an average once in about seventy-five weeks, or a year and a half. It is certain that redeemable bank notes do not cause so great a loss as we suffer with our greenbacks, National Bank notes and fractional currency. To save the large percentage on paper money worn out and lost before it can be redeemed is, therefore ajtpod and an wrtiter.

One Way of Doing It.

We have pressed the Cincinnati inquirer, Inter-(>ctan and other inflation sheets to explain how the Government would proceed to get more irredeemable green scrip into circulation so as. to benefit the “ poor man.” If it buys bonds with new issues, how will that help “ poor men” who have no bonds for sale? Poor men can get all the greenbacks they want now if they have anything to give in exchange for them. But the Enquirer is equal to the task. It replies: Let the Government stop taxation for a few years, repeal the whisky-tax for instance, and supply the deficiency by “more greenbacks” until they become “ cheap and abundant.” Of course this would be adding just so much to the national debt, to say nothing of knocking down the value of the whole currency to tenor twenty cents on the dollar, perhaps, when gold would be quoted at 500 or 700. The next step would be repudiation of the greenbacks as worthless, and in that way they would be “ paid.” Then the State banks Would be revived to fill the vacuum, and we should have again thirty-seven different kinds of wild-cat and blue-pup currency, and every man would carfy in his pocket a Thompton'e BankNote Reporter and Counterfeit Detector to find out how much the stuff was worth.— Chicago Tribune.

A Remarkable Escape and Thrilling Ineident.

A correspondent of the Boston JdMKSSiSSeM G * rmaDy>arrateß a pleasant-faced young woman, going, I. think,forthe first time-after her marriage, „ to visit her parents at her old home, to show them their two fine grandchildren. At least, this was the little history I bultt 1 up for her in my own brain from a word' or two that I heard between her and her young husband at the station as he put her into the carriage with an affectionate farewell. I always watch with great interest the farewells and greetings of >ny fellowtravelers, and have a fashion of thinking out far myself the whole story of their previous Uvea from the little hints that I get-in this way. It nAo me as if I were permitted to open the second volume of an interesting romance and allowed to read only one short scene in this, and risked to guess as nearly as possible from this one acene the previous course of the story and the characters of the actors in ft. r ■ i, The youngest child waa an, infant of about three or four months old—very rjuiet and good; the other was a pretty,.restless little girl of three, who could not be still M’fcfngle moment, and kept the careful mother busy by her questions and wants and childish prattle. ■ She was not at all 1 bashful, and soon talked to us also in such a natural, coquettish, condescending way that we were quite in love with the Channing little lassie, and begged her mother not to check her innocent advances to US. - Jh wwqnd " When we had been traveling together fdr two at Three hours, and begatf'to feel quite like old acquaintances, while the train was going at full speed, the mother ■ half rose from her seat to place the Tittle girl, who had left her place, again on the How-hrtippeped I never understood; it-WMwae of those accidents which seem impossible, and, in fact, only happens once In a hundred thousand times; but, just as she stood half-erect, holding her sleeping babe upon one arm arid her little, frolicsome maiden somewhat awkwardly on the other, the little girl made one of her sudden, quick movements, and in an instant she was gone from our eyes. What a moment! The poor mother stood fixed and rigid in exactly the same attitude, her arm stm .benfeiAAtoMigh around her child, gazing with wide-open, fixed Mes at ths place whence she vrinTsKem She' seemed* literally suddenly turned tt* . stone; with the rest of ?s the case was almost the same. How long thia lasted not knQW; ft ||emned to us much longer than-ft realty |vas. Th’entheyotingmother seehidd to come to herself, and made a sudden movement as if. ahe would spring through the window after her vanished darling, nqw far away. I caught her quiCkiy fnst and held her while the kind young lady who sat opposite to me took the baby from her arms, anti we all began to talk together, no one listening to the other, about what was to be done for her: Somehow w*» and the mother, withouVspeaking to one of %s, dr even looking at us, left the train, supporting herself on one arm-of. the sympathizing .guard, while he held the still sleeping baby fast :ibthe ouMri J ’',; r ' l Of course the train must go with increased speed to make up for the moment of delay, so there was no chance for ue to see more of the poor bereaved mother. “Telegraph to Us at the next station,”> said one of the railroad functionaries to the'guard. “Yes, yes, be sure to do it immediately,” cried a dozen voices; for in some mysterious way the news of the accident had run through the train as if by electricity, and a long row of sympathizing faces watched from the earri&ge the disappearing forms of the mother and the guard.

“It will take her half an hour to reach the spot, and it is just thirty-five minutes now to the next station,” said the stout gentleman in the corner, taking out his watch and holding it open in his hand, his eyes fixed upon it. He had struck me as ohen of*-the most selfish* rind disagreeable ojd gentlemen possible; scarcely answering a polite question from a neighbor, ahTthen in the shortest mid gruffest manner possible ; he had seemed completely absorbed by his newspaper and his snuff-box, riot having noticed the little fairy, in any’way except to glance at her now and then .with a savage expression as her clear, childish laugh had disturbed his reading. Now his whole soul seemed to be fixed oil the watch before him, and he “chided the tardy flight of time’ 1 again and again in words more forcible than ornamental. Now, at last, we aw there; the train halts and one of the guards runs quickly into the little office over which “"Telegraph” is painted. Everybody who can' possibly get his or her head out of the window, en that side, thrusts it out There is a moment of intense suspense; here comes the guard again, with'a dispatch in his hand; he Stands about midway between the ends of the train and begins to - read it out in his clear, loud, official tones : “Child perfectly sound; alighted .on a pile of straw in a field, not two feet from a stone wall!”

Then what a scene! Everyman at the train windows has his hat off in a moment and is waving it and cheering as ifhe would split his throat; eveiy woman is buried in her pocket-handkerchief, crying and laughing together. ' The stout old egotist and the- vain yuung dandy have thrown their arms around- each other, and are embracing with that heartiness that belongs to the sons of the Vaterland, although they never met before this morning.' The stiff old maid in the corner' has shaken my hands in both hers so many times that I feel they are quite sore. All the inhabitants of the little village come running around tile train: "Whal is it ? Where is tie? Is it the Kaiser him. self, or is it the Kron Prinz?” they ask in bewildered excitement at the sight of ours. But all the Kaisers and Kron Prinzes in Europe put together could not have aroused the flood of feeling that surged through that train. It was sympathy with a sentiment far older than loyalty—older than the Kings to whom loyalty is due—which was stirring every heart; it was sympathy with a mother’s love! The presence of tiie prairie-chicken season is increasing the interest of all clwt the science pf trigger-nomftry,

An English boy was fatally injured through an act of carelessness not at all infrequent among farmers and their boys in this country. He was sliding down the side of a hay-stack, when he struck upon the prongs of a pitchfork leaning against the stack. One prong entered his back and broke off, leaving six inches of steel imbedded in his body.
