History of the Ratio.

The number of grains of coined silver eoual to one grain of coined gold is called the ratio. This is an arbitrary enactment of law. The original ratio 0,000 years before Christ was JO to 1 . Julius Caesar, I'mperor of Home, in the vear -15 B. C fixed the ratio at 12 to 1. Thi.the fall of the Hoinan empire, A.I) i-ui. I lie ratio fixed iv tlie act ot me l imed Mates congress ot n'J i 1 I V . Ii1.. M . i was 15 to 1. The French ratio al that time was 15 Si to 1. In 1S87 eongressehanged tlie ratio to 1G to 1. 'Hie. reaon for remonetizing silver that ratio now is that it would be : 1 i' 1 1 And now I luntinylmrc is also to i)t) blessed (?) with a .so-called a "(!ood Citizens' League," presum ably to enforce the Nicholson law. The News ventures the assertion without fear of successful contradiction, that there is no town in Indiana ot cmiul population in liquor laws are as well in Huntmgburg. But, the organizers of this not satisfied with the are roine. and nronoso to take the enforcement of the laws out of the hands of the proper city ollicials, and set themselves up as sneaking hypocrites, prowling about seeking whom they can find violat ing the liquor laws. "Jedes lluerchen hat sein I'laesirchen." Hriarlield bridge two miles north of Iluntingburg on the Jasper road, was recently covered with a new shingle roof and otherwise repaired. Phis bridge is one of the oldest cov ered bridges in the county and has been considered "weak a lon time. Kx-trustee Bamberger in forms us that the old board of commissioners instructed him not to have any renairs made on this bridge, as it would have to be re placed by a new one soon anyway, The present board of Comniipsionioners, however, ordered trustee Behrens to make the repairs. You may perhaps not have thought of it, but it is truo all the same. 1 lie president, vice-presi dent, ceileral superintendent and chief marshal of the Fair Associa turn have each had a boy baby at their homes during the past year, and at least one director is the proud father ol a jxirl baby.

Detective Hugh Hale, of Rockport, arrived m this city Tuesday looking for a horse-fliief, who had stolen a horse and buggy near Troy in Perry county. The trail led to this city and soon after his arrival Detective Halo had located his man. He found him in tho north east part of the city and it was not long before he had him behind the bars of the city prison The man gavo his name as liorkIcv and claimed to he from near Newtonville, bpencer county. Ihe horse and buggy he stole he had taken to Illinois and traded there for a gold watch and $10 in cash.

LINCOLN'S HESITANCY TO MARRY.

Apprehensive That the Pathway Was not One of Flowers aid Sunlight. Letters from Lincoln to his closest friend, Joshua Fry Speed, subsoiiient to the latter's marriage, be tray an anxious and impatient de sire to learn if marriage is a path way ot tlowers and sunlight, and lot of darkness and pain the two bad morbidly feared it to bo. John Jilnur Speed presents these hither to unpublished letters hearing upon 'Lincoln s Hesitancy to Marry," in tho October Ladies' Home Journal. In one Lincoln says : "It cannot bo told how it now thrills me with iov to hear you say you arc 'far happier than you ever expected to be." That much I know is enough. I know you too well to suppose your expectations were not, at least sometimes, extravagant, and if the reality exceeds them all, I say, enough, dear Lord. I am not going beyond the truth when I tell you that tho short space it took me to read your last lcttor gave mo more pleasure than tho sum total of all I have enjoyed since the fatal 1st of January, LS I 1. binee tben, it seems to me, I should have been entirely happy but for the never-absent idea that there is one (referring to Miss Mary Todd) who is still unlappy, whom I have contributed to make so. That still kills my soul. I cannot but reproach myself for even wishes to be happy while she is otherwise, hhe accompanied a large party in the railroad cars to Jacksonville last Monday, and on her return spoke so that I heard of it, of having enpyed the trip exceedingly. Uod be praised foi that. One thing I can tell you which 1 know you will be glad to hear, and that is that I have seen Mary and scrutinized her feelings as well as 1 could, and am fully convinced she is far happier now than she has been for the last fifteen months past." Eight months after Speed had married Mr. Lincoln wrote him : "Hut I want to ask a close question: 'Are you now in feeling as well as judgment glad that you are married as you are?' From anybody but me this would be an impudent question not to be tolerated, but I know you will pardon me. Please answer it quickly, as 1 am impatient to know." Mr. Lincoln's object in asking the "close ouestion" is manifest. Mr. Speed gave the answer quickly anil satijfactorily, and on the -Ith of Novembei ( 18-12), one month exactly after the question had been submitted, Mr. Lincoln was married. A cigarette is a roll of paper, tobacco and drugs, with a small fire at one end and a large fool at tho other. Some of tho chief enjoy ments are condenb'ed nightmare, fits, cancer of the lips and stomach, spinal meningitis, softening of tho brain, funeral processions,' and families shrouded in gloom. There aro plenty of subjects left,hovever, who ire perfectly willing to undergo trials of such a trivial nature for the sake of putting on a certain amount of stvle. Mt. Carmel Register. The Hochester, N. Y., banks, which recently shipped .$ 250,000 in gold to tho sub-treasury in New York, aro out $1,500. The government stamp on this coin indicated that there were 25.8 grains of stand ard gold in each dollar. But when they were weighed they were found wanting, lho government stamp could not prevent tho motal from wearing away, and tho ho'dcr of tho coin had to stand the loss when turned into tho treasury, because light weight coin when it coices to rcco ining box and shipped to the mint to bo made over into full weight dol law. This actual occurence, which is the second during the last two weeks, shows thnt tho claim of tho golditcs thnt the metal in n gold dollar is always worth 100 cents is an error, rtie metal m a gold dollar is only worth 100 cents when it weighs fully up to the amount fixed by the law of the Amcricnn Congress as necessary to constitute a gold dollar. There is another lesson tojearn from it and that id that it is not as reliable a metal for domestic currency as silver, because it wenrs away so much faster and ceases to bo money when it becomes light weight.
