Senator Morrill on the Resumption Question.

The foltowing is the telegraphic synop. sis of the recent speech of Senator Morrill, of Vermont, in the United State* Senate, on the bill introduced by him to further provide for the redemption of United State* legal-tender note* in Mr. Morrill, in the course of hi* argu*ment, said he thought by Jan. 1, 1878, the difference between paper and gold would be much less than it is now, and that as a forerunner of resumption it would be well to provide that contracts after Jan. 1, 1878, shall be upon a specie basis unless otherwise specified. Thi* would accustom our people to the coming change and bring specie into circulation. He denounced the project for redeeming greenback* with an interconvertible 8.65 per cent interest bearing bond, declaring that the scheme was unsusceptible of any public or private advantage. He likened it to »h offer on the part of the Government to take and keep all the horses thrown out of employment at the commencement of the winter, promising to return them sleek and fat in the spring. He also scouted the proposition often broached that the duties on foreign goods may be hereafter paid in paper. This would virtually repeal the law of 1862 containing the pledge of the country that such duties shall be paid in gold and set apart to pay the public debt This is advocated by a few who are willing to wound but not ready to strike the tariff, as well as those who have wholly cut loose from coin, determined to sink or swim with paper money alone, and also by six or seven honest men who really feel, if we show how much we despise gold and how little we care for it at the Custom-House, that everybody will adopt the same opinion, and gold will then at once drop so low in value that all who have it be in haste to exchange it for paper. With much gravity they even claim this as the swiftest mode of returning to specie payments. By our flattering declaration that black is white we are to make silly bullionists, following the example of the crow in the fable, drop their gold, and,like JEsop’s fox, we are to stand ready to snatch it up. If these honest men are not mistaken, here is to be found a real resumptive boomerang which, though sent off in an opposite direction, is to whirl around and at last smite the rock from which will pour a flood of precious metals. He confessed to an entire want of faith in the boomerang movement. He ridiculed, at considerable length, the idea that we must not only keep and maintain a volume of currency equal to the wants of trade, but that it must be non-exportable currency, claiming that that very doctrine sent our bonds abroad. He also ridiculed the argument, frequently set up, that our only remedy tor currency largely inflated and below par is to wait and let the country grow up to it. The philosopher who waited on the banks for the river to run by was hardly more profound or patient. The bank or paper circulation, with a population of 31,500,000, was $207,802,000. Assuming the standard of 1860, and ot years prior thereto, as equal to the fair requirements of financial health and stability, with the country no larger, unless made larger by the ice of Alaska, we have now such an excess of currency that it we wait until the country grows up to it we must postpone specie resumption until our population rises to 116,646,401, with a corresponding increase of the wants of trade. It was a great delusion to suppose that contraction would benefit the rich and fall heavily upon the poor, while inflation would operate in the opposite direction. It would be exactly the reverse. He spoke at length against the injustice and bad policy of inflation, and reviewed the arguments of the inflationists, warmly praised the national banking system, and said if the banks were only citculating a currency convertible at par nearly all their defects would vanish. What we most needed after specie resumption to completely remedy our financial condition was more real and absolute capital. All financial tinkering in the world would not supply it. All the cheap expedients for making money plenty without earning it or without giving anything in exchange for it would result in disreputable failure. The sooner we learn that money can’t be invented, but must be earned, the better for the country. A debased currency, he said in conclusion, was demoralizing. Public and private expenditures are now too largely based upon inflation, and, so long as payments are made in the cheapest substitute for money, nothing in return but cheap equivalents and cheap service can be obtained. No permanent restoration of industrial prosperity, no permanent employment of workingmen, no safety to working capital can be expected until the Government permits its own operations, the labor of our people and the business enterprises of the country to be based upon the solid foundations represented by gold and paper at par with gold, represented by restored peace and morality, in accordance with the unbroken experience of the wise among nations and in harmony with the instincts of a high-spirited people ashamed of the exploded devices of paying debt* by the renewal of broken promises, and ashamed of the vacillating standard of, mercantile honor, worthy only of a bankrupt people, half maniac and half knave.

“ Open that safe,” said a merchant to an expert who had been sent for. “ Open it in twenty minutes and I will give you twenty dollass.” The safe was open in five minutes. “ All right,” said the merchant, “here is ten dollars—enough for five minutes’ work.” The ten dollars was looked at but not taken, and the next moment the safe was closed as tight as ever. “ Oh, how is that?” “ The how,” said the man, “is that I charge nothing for closing the safe, but twenty dollars more for the next opening—forty dollars in all—and want my pay in advance.”’ Cf course he did, and whoever has anything to say on the subject- can now speak.— Chicago Timet. Mb. C. A. Perkins, the husband of the Princess Isabelle of Bourbon, condemned a year ago by the French courts to a year’s imprisonment and to two years’ “holding of the body” for debts which the court* decided were contracted under false pretenses, has just finished hi* year at St. Pelagieand been transferred to the Conciergerie, there to submit to hi* two yean’ imprisonment for the debt, if the creditor, who has to pay hi* board, does pot sooner release him.

A Bad Cold.

/,£X‘'" > * dool4 ” i ’ “ ° blect swelled and shiny nose may look, and without regard to the fact that his voice is as inaudible and maudlin as that of a regular-bred whisky-bibber. Nobody with the least portion of the milk of human kindness in his breast would laugh at his watery eyes or make unkind remarks when he blew Ms nose. Everybody is liable to a “bad cold.” The rich man as well as the poor man has to succumb to its baleftil influence; and not all the money of the proudest millionaire in the land can purchase him exemption from it. And if it is any satisfaction to the hod-carrier or rag-picker to know that the Rothschilds and Queen Victoria have noses just as red and stuffed up when they have colds as their brethren tower down in the scale of wealth and power, then they can have that satisfaction. A cold in the head generally begins in sneezing. You think if you could only sneezeyou should be relieved from that uneasy tickling in the nose and that heavy feeling in the head. You go to the window and you look at the sun, and you squint your eyes, and hold your breath, and then the coveted sneeze comes —first one, then two, and then half a dozen in rapid succession. Then your handkerchief comes into play, and for about five minutes you feel better. You retire to the fireside and put on more wood, or coal, and wonder what does make it so cold this time of year. By and by there is a “ tight” feeling about your throat and head; every tooth in your jaws seems to have started out a little and it appears to you that it would be a positive relief to take a mallet and drive them back into their places again. There is a sensation down your back as if a mouse with very cold feet war chasing another mouse with still colder feet just on the line of your spinal column, and a good fire is the only thing on earth you especially care for. Food you do not want and herb tea is always the next thing to total despair and misery. Handkerchiefs are in demand, and » half-dozen a day is a very moderate allowance. Blow, blow, is the order of the day, to say nothing of the order of the night. Vou feel cross all over. You wish folks wouldn’t look at you.

You are drowsy and you want your feet on the fender and a blanket over your shoulders. Your teeth start out a little farther. Your eyes are so weak you can hardly hold them open. Your head feels as if a ten-horse power steam-engine had been established therein and was in operation with all the steam on. Every hair on your cranium is sore—that is if you do not wear a wig. Your limbs ache and that old rheumatic twinge in your joints grows painfully troublesome. You huddle up in your chair, and snuff hartshorn, and burn vinegar on a hot shovel, and bathe your sore throat in alcohol. If you happen to be married, and have no regard for the feelings and Ike affections of those around you, you descend to the degradation of eating onions stewed in sugar or molasses, with poultices of the same aromatic vegetable on your chest. All your friend's laugh at you and your woful air, and tell you not to make such a dreadful fuss about a little cold! They tell you it’s the fashion to have a cold; and then they quote that abominably trite saying, which seems to work in on every occasion: “One might as well be out of the world as out of fashion,” and then they hasten to tell you about their colds, and the colds of their children and their neighbors—and so on—ah, you know just hoW it is. And before they get ready to stop you feel as if you could strangle the whole lot of them without a throb of compunction. That night you take a sweat, and wake up in the morning as limp and spiritless as a muslin dress in a thunder-shower, and with a feeling of “ Don’t care whether school keeps or not’’ all over you.— Kate Thom, in N. Y. Weekly.

The Decay of Glaciers.

From a comprehensive article in Harper's by John Muir, upon the above subject, we extract the following: A glacier is a current of ice derived from snow. Complete glaciers of the first order take their rise on the mountains, and descend into the sea, just as all complete rivers of the first order do. In North Greenland the snow supply and general climatic conditioqs are such that its glaciers pour directly into the ocean, and so Undoubtedly did those of the Pacific slope during the flush times of the glacial epoch; but now the world is so warm and the snow crop so scanty nearly all the glaciers left alive have melted to mere hints of their former selves. The Lyell Glacier is now less than a mile long; yet, setting out from its frontal moraine, we may trace its former course on grooved and polished surfaces, and by immense canons and moraines, a distance es more than forty miles. The glaciers of Switzerland are in a like decaying condition as compared with their former grandeur; so also are those of Norway, Asia and South America. They have come to resemble the short rivers of the eastern slope of the Sierra that flow out into the hot plains and are dried up. According to the Schlagintweit brothers the glaciers of Switzerland meß at an average elevation above the level of the sea of 7,414 feet. The glacier of Grindewald melts at less than 4,000 feet; that of the Aar at about 6,000. The Himalaya Glacier, in which the Ganges takes its rise, does not, according to Capt. Hodgeson, descend below 12,914 feet. The average elevation at which the glaciers of the Sierra melt is not far from 11,000 feet above sea-level.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

•' Feather-cake.—Take two cupfuls of! of hsbftig powdstr, flavor with lemon. This is excellent. •,■ -< To Cook Turnips.—Wash quite clean, do not peel or eat or soak. Boil them whole in their “ jackets. ” When, by toying them with a fork, they are found quite tender, take them up, peel them, press moderately and mash with butter. Cream Tapioca.—Soak two-thirds of a cup of tapioca in warm water till soft; boil a quart of milk with the yelk of three eggs, well beaten, and two-thirds of a cup of sugar. Boil till thick, stirring carefully; beat the whites of the eggs with two-thirds of a cup of white sugar, flavor and pour on top of the pudding. Set in the oven to brown. - To Clean Glass.—This mode of clean ing fine glass gives it a great brilliancy: Take fine powdered indigo, dip into it a moistened linen rag, smear over the glass with it and then wipe it off with a perfectly dry cloth. As a substitute for this, fine sifted ashes applied by a rag dipped in spirits will answer just as well. Spanish white is apt to make the glass rough and injure it — American Agriculturist. Paths and Roads.—lcy paths and roads are dangerous to man and beast. After every fall of snow the roads should be broken down by a snow-plow or a stone-boat, and the paths shoveled out or packed down in a similar manner. A heavy plank drawn along the paths will clear off or pack down the snow. Coal ashes or sand are the best material to scatter upon roads and paths when they become smooth and slippery. To Make Boots Durable.—The durability of soles of boots and shoes may be greatly increased by coating them with gum copal varnish, which also has the effect of making them water-proof. Four or five coats should be given, allowing each coat of varnish to dry before the succeeding one is applied. Soles thus treated possess twice the usual durability, and generally outlast the best uppers. - The leather uppers of boots or shoes may be rendered soft and water-proof by rubbing into them while warm, before the fire, a mixture composed of four ounces of hog’s fat and one ounce of rosin.— Ohio Farmer.

New Year Thoughts.

At the beginning of a new year evety farmer ought to review the past year’s operations and endeavor to draw from his successes and failures lessons which will be of great value to him in the coming year’s labors. We believe one of the most serious obstacles to success, among farmers, is a want of close observation and comparison ot results. Very rarely are accounts kept with fields, crops or stock, and, whether failure or success attends any particular venture, causes that led to them are not sought for. The same thing is repeated next year, the same errors blundered into, with invariably the same results. A careful record of successes and failures of the year, with observation of causes, probable or certain, would help very much’ in the plans for the year to come. The time is most favorable for this retrospection and the forming and perfecting plans for the future. It is not only the close of a year, but it is the actual close ot a season’s work on the farm. Every crop has been garnered and sold, perhaps, even to the hog crop itself, and no other entries are required. It is a season of comparative leisure, also, giving plenty of time for this most important work. No wise man, whatever his occupation, will neglect this cleaning-up process—this starting anew. Such a system places guideboards, so to speak, at every turn of the road, warning of danger or pointing to safety and success. Good resolutions, promising reform, are also now in order. There are plenty of men who fcnow how to do better than they practice. Hundreds will give the willing assent of the mind to a plain, practical exhortation on duty, who never go any farther. If anyone is conscious of imperfections in method or practice, let him now resolve to amend, and endeavor to accomplish all that is possible during this centennial year of 1876—the 100th of American independence. There is no time to spare. A year passes very quickly. If we would accomplish a good year’s work we must not only labor energetically, but thoughtfully, wisely, judiciously, taking advantage of every help which our own experience or that of others will afford us.— Ohio Farmer.

Keeping Apples.

As the crop is short and prices have ruled high, it is all the more important to preserve apples in the best condition. The main element of success is a low and uniform temperature, just above freezing. The house-cellar is the farmer’s fruitroom in winter and if properly managed answers the purpose perfectly. But there is a great deal of carelessness in guarding against extreme zero nights and the apples and vegetables are frequently frozen before the owner suspects any danger. Banking the under-pinning with a thick mat of leaves, straw, old hay or evergreen boughswill keep out the frost. These are within reach of every farmer and are easily kept in place with boards or poles. But some'cellars are very moist and the temperature is likely to be too high rather than too low. This can be remedied by having a window that can be shut or opened at pleasure. By consulting a thermometer, which costs but a trifle, it is quite easy to keep the temperature in the cellar between thirty-two and forty degrees, which is even enough for all practical purposes. The apples keep better in barrels or in small tight packages than m open piles or shelves, because they do not feel the changes so soon. For the same reason some wrap each apfile in paper or pack them in sawdust or landplaster. This requires a considerable labor, but nice fresh apples in May and June are worth working for. In dry cork sawdust they keep sufficiently well without wrappers. If this is not available, dry hard-wood sawdust should be used in preference to pine or other resinous woods. These affect the odor and sometimes the taste of the apples. If no packing is used the barrels should be overhauled once a month, and if any decayed apples are found they should be carefully removed. Keep the barrels headed. Look at the thermometer every night and mom-

’ Id ir if too entirely. It 1 take* but a moment to regulate the tMD iperature. By thia simple process we have never failed to keep winter apples in. good condition until spring.* - rlgrgMiffifn’if Xiy? DOT* •. Q ■ ;

The expense Is only about four cents per week, and we do not know where such a small amount can be more profitably employed or bring so large a return as it will if invested in a year’s subscription to the Manufacturer and Builder. Send for a specimen copy to the above address and pass your own judgment , • Schenck's Pulmonic Strut , Ska Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.— These deservedly celebrated and popular medicines have effected-* revolution In the healing art, and proved the fallacy of several maxims which have for many years obstructed the progress of medical science. The false supposition that “ Consumption is incurable” deterred physicians from attempting to find remedies for that disease, and pttients afflicted with It reconciled themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. It is now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, and that it Aos been cured in a very great number wf cases (some of them apparently desperate oues) by Schenck’s Pulmonic Syriip alone; and in other cases by the same medicine in connection with Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of the case. Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted >■ nod health for more than forty years, was supposed, at one time, to be at the very gate of death, his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery, many thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schenck’s preparations with the same remarkable success. Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck unless patients wish their lungs examined, and for this purpose he is professionally at his principal office, comer Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advice must be addressed. Schenck's medicines ar* sold by all druggists.

What Shall We Do?

It is no wonder that we hear this question on every corner. So many are dying suddenly of disease* of the brain in these day* that everyone is alarmed, and is asking: “ What shall we do?” There is alarm on account of dizziness of the head, a whirling sensation when rising up suddenly, a bad, “ all-gone” sensation at the pit of the stomach, like the gnawing of an ulcer, with a feeling like a load after eating, pains in the back, sides and chest, at times, with costive bowels, scanty, high-colored urine, sometimes voided with pain, appetite poor, and when food Is eaten it oftentimes distresses; the skin, after a time, becomes dark, cold and elammy, eyes sunken and tinged with vellow, spirits dejected, with evil forebodings. When any of these symptoms are present no time should be lost In using a proper remedy. The one that we have Known to operate with the most certainty Is the BHAKBR EXTfiACT OF ROOTS OB UUBAtivb Bybup (not a patent medicine), sold by Druggists and A. 3. White, 319 Pearl street. New York. ; Economy.—You will save money by using Procter <fe Gamble's Original Mottled German Soap. It* will not waste nor become soft like ordinary yellow soap when used in warm water, nor is it cheapened with articles injurious to clothes. Remember, you obtain a full one-pound bar if you purchase their brand. To protect their brand from imitator* Procter & Gamble patented it, and the patent was sustained in the United States Courts. Examine the stamp on the bars when you buy. Take their Soap only. Gentian was our grandmothers’ hobby for a tonic, and no bitter would be considered complete without it; hence it enters into nearly all. But experience has proved that it is injurious to the stomach if frequently used. A far better tonic is found in Guarana Bitters. Pebsonal.--E. Boughton, Ashbourne, Pa.— “ I have been greatly afflicted for the past two years with general debility, and have tried various remedies. Was induced to try LIVER REGULATOR, which, after the use of one package, has made me feel like another being.” A Massachusetts lady writes: “ This morning early, as I sat by my open window looking down upon the busy street, 1 saw a woman-butcher jump from her wagon and take a piece of corned beef round to the side-door of the residence across the way. How neat and tidy she looked, with a dark calico dress, blue checked apron and white over-sleeves which came to her elbows, with a brown hat and a red scarf tied carelessly about her neck. She came out, jumped briskly into the wagon, took up the lines, at the same time putting her foot upon the brake, for it was a down-grade, and drove off like any other butcher.”
