That the Southern leaders are, despite vol uble assurances to the contrary, opposed to the education and enlightenment ol the freed men, is daily becoming more evident. What ever they may say they are determined that the black mau shall have no opportunity to remedy by acquired skill his great weakness, that his way out from the state of degradation in which they have kept him for centuries shall be so difficult a road that he will not have the courage to attempt it. They know that the old maxim is true, that knowledge is power, and they have resolved that no power shall pass into the hands of the negro. The latest Illustration of their determined course is afforded by the action of the Legislature of South Car olina in suspending the operations of the University of that State. The University is an Institution weich was established in 1801, and which from the very first has been car ried on chiefly at the public expense. The salaries of Drofessors and teachers have been paid from the State treasury by annual ap propriation. After the suppression ofthe rebellion the doors of the University were thrown open to colored men, and the white students gradually withdrew from its halls. Its work has been excellent, and for the last decade has been done in a quarter where odiipat inno 1 trrArlr ttt n a in AOt nnoilnil I Until within a year the appropriations for salaries have been regularly paid. But for services of professors and others during the last year there is now due from the State the sum of seventeen thousand dollars. The Legislature has not only refused to pay theso bills, but neglects to make any appropriation for another year. It evidently intends to make no further appropriations until some means shall be found to exclude the blacks from the benefits of the institution. Indeed the Governor. Wade Hampton, says as much in his message to the Legislature. But he, at least, advocates the fulfillment of contracts already made by the State, using these words: “Whatever disposition may ultimate" ly be made of the University, the just claims of its professors for past services should be recognized. They were employed by the state, and a just appreciation of the obliga tion thus imposed, renders it imperative that full justice should be accorded them.” Whatever plausible excuses may be made for discontinuing the University, or for changing Its character, there is no excuse for the failure to pay its servants for labor al ready performed according to the contract with the stale. The failure to make these payments is another proof of Southern bad faith. A patent has just been granted to Loring Pickering, one of the editors and proprietors of the Evening Bulletin and the Mcrning Call, newspapers of San Francisco, for a method of rapid telegraphing of facsimiles of stereotyped plates. It is claimed that by this process an entire page of a newspaper can be transmitted by telegraph in from 15 to 30 minutes, delivering the copy directly from the instrument in such form that it can be handed immediately to the printers. In other words, the copy will be a substantial teproduction of the original, except that it may be given in a larger sized letter if so de sired. The stereotype plate requires no prep Ofafi/in fos the aC I._ -r *''**vo*-r“*~ mission, other than the filling of all its de pressions, or spaces between the faces of the letters, with a non-conducting substance which may be quickly applied, the faces of the type being left clean by means of an equally simple process. The plate thus pre pared is placed upon a cylinder arranged to revolve rapidly so as to present each succes. sive letter to fingers attached to a traveling frame. As the cylinder bearing the plate re volves, the frame gradually advances by the operation of a screw; and thus each and every line is successively presented to the fingers or magnetic points already mentioned. Necessarily the circuit is open when the points are passing over the non-conducting surface; but as often as the metal type pre sents itself to said fingers the circuit is closed, and the corresponding magnetic points or pens at the receiving station make the record there in the same letter as the original, de lineated in a series of fine lines, either upon chemically prepared or ordinary paper, fixed upon a corresponding cylinder at said receiv ing station. Another government has abandoned sil ver. Mr. E, B. Elliot, the well-known sta tistician, has received the following informa tion relative to the establishment of a single gold standard in Finland. The Government has submitted to the Legislative Assembly of Finland the draft of a law proposing the es tablishment there of a gold currency. Hith erto there has not existed in Finland a paper currency as in Russia, but a strictly silver currency. The fall in the price of silver, however, to the great injury of trade, caused a very extraordinary sinking in the prices of securities in Finland. It is proposed to make the gold “mark” the unit of the new Finish coin system. There will be coined pieces of 10 and 20 marks each. The worth of the Finnish gold mark is exactly the same as the worth of the French gold franc. It is pro posed to carry this change into effect as soon as possible, so that all Government accounts, from and after January 1, 1878, shall be kept according to the gold standard. The notes of the Bank of Fiuland are to be taken in place of gold coin, at which time the coinage of the latter is to be completed. All con tracts stipulated in Finnish silver marks are to be paid in gold coin at the fixed rate of 1 to 15}, Mr. Elliott adds that it is to be regret ted that the proposed Finish ten mark piece does not contain exactly three grammes of fine gold, which is almost exactly the one twentieth part of the half imperial of Russia, also the precise value of the existing two-yen piece of Japan, and of two of the pesos fueite lately adopted by the Argentine Republic, or of two of the metric dollars which are advo cated for adoption by our country. The Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser is responsible for the statement that Governor Cullom of Illinois had a protracted interview with the Presi dent Monday, when the political and finan cial situation was discussed. The President told Governor Cullom that he approved his veto of the silver bill which passed the Illr nois legislature by an almost unanimous vote, regarding such action on the governor’s par as tending to aid the general government is bringing about resumption within the time fixed by law. Governor Cullom said he be *ieved in remonetization of silver, but not tc make small change a legal tender to an un limited amount, and therefore had vetoed the Bilver bill. The President said he had giver much thought and attention to this question of late, and had come to.the conclusion tha' it was his duty to recommend in his forth coming message to Congress klhe remonetiza tioa of silver. It was right, and nothing else would sat isfy the country. The Kailroad Gazette publishes some valu able statistics of railroad construction for tbe first five months of this year, with sensible comments thereon. Taking the period re ferred to for each of the last five years which includes the panic of 1873, we find that the total construction was smaller this year than in any except 1875,being 393 miles,against 542 miles last year, and 260 miles in 1875. In 1873 it was 918 miles. Of the total mileage so far constructed, 27 per cent, is narrow gauge, and is of coarse, intended only for local use or as feeders to the main roads. Fifty-four per cent, of the increase was in the two States of Texas and Califorr nia, while Ohio-chiefly in narrow gauge roads—was next. The Gazette points out that there is now very little work remaining to be done on long roads, and that we may look forward to a comparatively small rate of mileage for some time to come, and it adds that this is “a return to something like a normal activity in railroad construction, not a retrogression to unhealthy stagnation.” FkjM all parts of the country there are cheering prospects of abundant harvests. Timely and copious rains have refreshed nearly every section which had been threat ened with drought. The crops of cereals, of fruit, hay and vegetables promise to be of the very best. The Eastern and Middle States will gatherjin a rich yield from nearly every branch of agriculture. The indications in the South are excellent; the great Central West expects even to surpass former years; such crops were never before seen growing in Ore gon, while California, where the outlook was forbidding enough a few weeks ago, estimates the value of her surplus wheat from this year’s yield at fully ten million dollars. Our basis of returning and increasing prosperity is, therefore, of the most substantial charac ter. _ The grasshopper trouble in the West is in a fair way of solution without the aid of a scientific commission. A mysterious disease hss broken out among the pests and they are dying off by millions. A special despatch says that James Rus sell Lowell has accepted the mission to Spain made vacant by the appointment of Mr. Kas son to the Austrian mission. Down in Louisiana they call rifle clubs “Constitutional Associationsthe old name was shorter and more expressive. Current Comment. Does Mr. Hendricks go to Europe with a little inscription of “de facto Vice-President’’ on his hat It might attract notice of one kind or another. The Hon. W. D. Kelley is sounding the praises of the Dollar of the Daddies In four column articles, and the newspapers which are printing them are not even offering a chromo to the unfortunate person who shall succeed In reading them. What does the fleeing'of American states men to Europe mean Mr. Hendricks is to be followed by Gov. Tilden. Is the de facto Administration seekinfT a place for consulta tion beyond the range of the ubiquitous re porter? Or is it seeking recognition by for eign powers? There wasn’t much left of Charles Francis Adams after the last campaign in Massachus etts, but his friends clung to the belief that his standing as a Fenian had been conclusive ly established. Now this comfort is snatched from them, for the leading Irish paper of the state, the Boston Pilot, ventures to hope that Mr. Adams will not be made a figure-head again to repel Irish votes from the Democratic ticket. This is the unkindest cut of ail. And John Kelly said [he was a devoted Fenian, too. The Democrats are now growling because the commission which has gone out to hold a post-mortem examination on Grover and Cronin will cost the Government several thousand dollars. It does seem a great deal of expense for a very insignificant purpose; but then Grover and Cronin are purely Dem ucrauc lusuruiious, uuu, use an mings oi that kind, cost a great deal more than they are worth. If anything should happeu to cause a va cancy in the war department, West Virginia wishes to have it understood that sho hrs just the man for that place in the person of John S. Carlisle, formerly United States Sen ator, and a strong Union man during the war. The consequences of an untimely flurry of snow which came upon Virginia, Nevada, about a week ago, are thus set forth by the Enterprise: “The little trees held up their arms all of a tremble and shook their leaves beseechingly, and as if in protest. The roses drooped and died as though they had been disappointed in love. In the valleys the blossoms on the fruit trees looked up and smiled, as beauty always smiles in the em brace of the destroyer. The sagebrush and bunchgrass snuggled a little closer to the hill sides and never complained at all.’’ There are a good many curious persons turning up in Washington now. One of these is a Judge Sloanaker of Pennsylvania. Sloanaker headed the delegation from Louis, iana which presented the President with a bust the other day, and his appearance at that time has recalled an anecdote of him which was told in Andrew Johnson’s time. Then as now Sloanaker yearned for recog nition. He wanted to be Internal Bevenue Collector for the 3d Pennsylvania district. He seized for his application a moment when Hr. Johnson was in bitter warfare with Con gress, and when sympathy was especially welcome. Wandering about Washington in search of help of some kind, Sloanaker saw|a beautiful basket of wax flowers in a shop upon the avenue, and this decided his policy. He inquired the price. “Fifty dollars’’ was the reply. He had it. although it was nearly all the money he had. He then took some resolution that had been passed at an interior convention upon Gen. Grant’s report on the South. He cut out Grant’s name and in serted Johnson’s, and then wrote them out in his own hand. He then made credentials for himself as an envoy of some Philadelphia club and presented himself at the White House. Johnson was overjoyed at this floral _i _.1 „.1 oi_i hi. office he desired. It behooves the President to beware of Sloanaker. The St. Paul (Minn) Pioneer-Press asserts that in certain Western States, including Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, any scheme of finance or currency is sure of wide popularity which will enable the debtor class to cheat their creditors. Hence, it says, the populari ty of the greenback and ot the silver dollar. The Welsh Language Spoken. The very tune of the Welsh language—that one never varying sing-3ong into which every Welsh preacher breaks when he warms to his subject—must be the livingjecho of the adora tion of the Druids, descending without the slightest change. It ts the first note of a seals, the second, and the minor third; and it goes up, and falls, goes up, and falls, a perfect chant there, set in the midst of speaking, used by ev ery singer the same, unconsciously, apparently, as if from the mere habit of tradition. The tone of prayer, too, before this chant is reached, is quite the poetry of self-abasement. “O! Ar glwydd!” a rough Welsh quarryman will ex claim. low on his knees, struggling for the in spiration that shall carry the hearts of some thirty or forty fellow-worshippers with him. Arglwydd Is the Welsh for Lord, pronounced Ar-gloo-uth; and the Welshman will repeat it, “O! Ar-gloc-uth! O! Ar-gloo-uth!” in the pos ture of an oriental and with all the fervor. In the church service, the words, “Lord, have mercy upon us,” sound O Ar-gloo-uth, trig ar hahoortoom! (standing, “O Arglwydd, trug arha wrtbyrn!”) and they come with an effect singularly fine. It is no less striking to bear the shorter of the Ten Commandments: Thou shalt not kill, Na ladd; Thou sbalt not steal, Na ladratta; emphasis being in the very short ness, like a sword’s swift cut. It the English eye, too, rests upon some scriptural terms, it will be reminded of a nearer orientalism, Greece. The Corinthians are called the Coriu thiad, the Ephesians the Ephesiad, Christian is Christion, cherub is cerub (the c hard), purple is porphor, diamond is adamant, a jut is iot, Job is Siob, with other well known Biblical names, Joseph, loan, lago, l’edr. George and Charles, too (without mentioning scores of o:hers,) "become Siors and larlies; the genius of the Welsh lan guage having made no provision for the soft sound of ch and j or g. Other examples of this are given in Siapan for Japan; |n siasmin for jasmin; in siaced for jacket; in siercyn for jer kin.—All the Year Round.

Men and Women. Hobart Pasha is a direct descendant of John Hampden. The sixth daughter of the great patriot, Mary Hampden, married twice. By her second husband (Sir John Hobart) she was the ancestress of the present Earl of Backing* hamshire, the father of the famous Turkish Admiral, who also owns the estates of John Hampden. It is related of Thomas U. Bsnton that a gentleman whose gaest he was went up to bis room on the morning after he had made a speech, taking a newspaper containing a very laudatory notice of his remarks. “Have you read it, sir? Does it do justice to the subject?’" asked the host. "I know all about it, sir,’’ re plied Benton, with great dignity, “I wrote it all myself.” Malherbe was very generous, but, one is sor ry to learn, not religious. He gave a beggar some silver, and the beggar assured the poet that be would pray for him. “Pray do not trouble yourself to do that my friend,” replied Malherbe; “judging from your own condition, I should hardly think you had much credit with Heaven.” This was rather wicked, and reminds one of that queen of Spain who lost her husband, and who was so grieved and so indignant against the celestial powers that she forbade her subjects to believe in God for six whole months, “to give Him a lessou.” Monsieur Thiers has a beautiful library lighted from the top, where he sits at work with some 20,000 volumes massed around him. His 80 years have hardly slackened the rate of his labor. He is up at the first peep of day light and brews his own coffee, and is closeted with Mr. Bartbelemy Saint-Hilaire when the busy quarter round about him is still silent. He is a great economist of his time and health, and sleeps regularly twice in the course of the day. His drinks are milk and coffee, and be eats plain meats. When he wants to gather strength for a long effort in the tribune, a copi. ous glass of coffee appears before him. Madame Wagner—says Mr. Conway—is not beautiful, but she is of distinguished appear ance, and with her ample blonde hair decked wt roses, she might be called handsome* She has a refined and intellectual appearance1 and is much younger than might have been ex noo fa.l in n nn n.1. 1.--1_. _ 1 f m “vv** »w ivuj, n ouujcvn ui conversation in Europe. She is learned in lan. guages and in music, entertaining in conversa tion, and has made man; warm friends From the first the royal family have taken a deep interest in the concerts, and Wagner has been received by the Queen. On one evening the Prince of Wales, having to leave, sent for Wagner and expressed his delight in the mnsio, and his regret that he must go, having made a promise (and the Prince never breaks a prom ise) to visit the Aquarium in time to see Mme Zazel shot from a cannon. The girl the Russian officer leaves behind him when he goes to the war is his wife. Ear ly marriages are very common in Russia, and a very large proportion of the officers of the army even those of lower grades, are married. In the German, French and British armies, an offi cer is not permitted to marry until he attains a certain rank or satisfies the ^military authori ties that either be or his bride can afford to un dertake the responsibilities of domestic life. In Russia, as the Pall Mall Gazette explains, there is no regulation of this kind; and, as the pay of the Russian officer is notoriously very meagre, it.follows that most of those who are married are in a state of extreme poverty, and can with difficulty provide their families with even the necessaries of life. Moreover, very many of the subaltern officers of the Russian army are quartered for long periods with small detachments in out-cf-the-way and miserable villages, where they must perforce live without any society whatever, save that of peasants and their own soldiers In the Gothic archway leading through the oadets’ barracks into the quadrangle, at the West Point Military Academy, there appears and vanishes at regular intervals, from morn’ ing until the hour of retiring at night, a quaint old figure attired In the nndiess costume of a United States soldier. With upright though somewhat feeble bearing the figure pauses ex actly beneath the centre of the arch, and lacing the parade grounds, raises a horn to its lips, blows a call and retires with the regular mo tion of an automaton. This is old Bentz, the ougier or toe Academy, who has been iu ser vice here since 1334, nearly forty-four years. In winter and summer, through all sorts of weather, the old trumpeter has made the hills echo with the notes of his instrument, obedi ent to which generations of cadets have moved to and fro, from class room to study hall or field or quarters. The old man—he is now seventy-one—is looked upon by the lads as part of the place, and they could not imagine the Academy in existence without him. Don’t wear white crosses, nor black dresses, nor caps with lappets. Nobody has any right to go about in an offensively celestial uniform, as if it were more your business or privilege than it is everybody's,to be God’s servants. But know and feel assuredly that every day of your lives, you have done all you can for the good of others. Done, I repeat; not said. Help your companions, but don’t talk religious sen timent to them; and serve the poor, but for your lives, you littlo monkeys, don’t preach to them. They are probably, without in the least knowing it, fifty times better Christians than you; and, if anybody is to preach, let them; make friends of them when they are nice, as you do of nice rich people; feel with them, work with them, and if you are not at least sure it is a pleasure to you both to see each other, keep out of their way. For mate rial charity, let older and wiser people to see to it; and be content, like Athenian maids in the procession of their home goddess, with the hon or of oarrying the basket,—Ruskin’s Letter to Young Girlt. This is the portrait the Philadelphia Times gives of Senator Lamar: A face that might have come out of cne of Vandyke’s pictures, and needs only the setting off of wide-brimmed plumed hat and velvet doublet to make the vairsemblance complete; Btrongly emphasized features, a heavy dark moustache, which would be fierce if it had an upward cur), but sloping downward is gravely romantic: pointed beard on chin, large hazel eyes, straight hair between brown and black, worn so long that it falls down over the coat collar; a lofty forehead, a form of medium height and well-shaped, save for the stooping shoulders; a sober suit of brown broadcloth—the care with which the coat is buttoned and its velvet collar revealing a tem perate love of dress in its owner. He is of French ancestry, as one can plainly see, for his face never came to him from English parent age. Intensely Southern in his political in stincts, Lamar is nevertheless broad, liberal and national in his views. In all the Southern del egation no one is less a bourbon, no one more sensible and progressive. Very few men in Congress are as well educated or as well read in standard and current literature. Ifioally, he has a good quality that comes with his French blood and is too rarely found in Americans of middle age; be is gallant toward women and fond of their society. Mrs. Fawcett delivered a lecture on Thursday to the pupils and friends of the Royal Norma* College andjAcademy of Musio for the Blind at Westow street, Upper Norwood, oa The Women of Thackary, Dickens and Oeorge Eliot.” She illustrated by many diverting pas sages, at which the blind pupils of the institu tion heartily laughed, the merits of the three great writers; but remarked, on thelother hand, that in Dickens feminine virtue is nearly al ways undersized, easily melted to tears, and more or less idiotic, and that Thackeray repre sented the best of women as subject to absurd jealousy. Dickens’ "Mrs. Jellaby” had done a great deal of harm. Her eyes were always fixed on something far off, as if she saw Africa and Borrioboola Gba, while her children ran about neglected. That had encouraged the mistake that a woman who had sutficient men tal activity to be interested in philanthropy, literature and politics would not care also for her family. Common experience gave no sup port to this impression. George Eliot had more knowledge of women than either of the other two great writjrs; her Itomola, Fedalma Dorothea were admirable. Her minor charac ters—Hetty, for instance—were also perfect and the simply wordly sayings of Mrs. Poysor, Mrs. Cadwollader and the aunts in “The Mill on the Floss” were rapidly passing into the language.—London Times. Fast Time on the Pennsylvania Rail road.—The Fennsylvainia Railroad commenced Sunday night to run a train frdta Chioago through to New York in 25 hours and 15 min utes, from St. Louis to New York in 29 hours.

A Romanist at Heart. Tho Independent deals frankly with one fool ish correspondent: We have received the following request: Mb. Editob.—Will you please, if it is in yonr power, send the enclosed to Mr. Moody? It is a re quest for prayer lor a sick person. Her life and hap illness depend upon this request, as I have faith to Ijellcve. if you receive this, please say in the Inde pendent that you received anil sent a request to Mr. Moody written by a person who signed their name It sceniB too much Joy for me even to hope that It will reach Mr. Moody. Oh! I will be bo glad and thankful if it does, and God will reward you. We have sent the note to Mr. Moody. But we are moved to say a word or two to the writer. Your “faith,” as you call it, is faith less and insulting to God. You honor Mr. Moody more ,than you honor God. You have faith in Mr. Moody that he will listen to vour request; hut you have no faith in God that he will listen to you. You believe that God is a partial, prejudiced be ing, having respect of persons, who will at tend to Mr. Moody’s petition, but who will not attend to yours. God requires of you no medi ator but himself, his Sou Jesus Christ. Yrou, Humanist that you are at heart, must pick out some saint to intercede for you, and that salDt one of those still in the world,struggling against bis own besetting sins. Here is our little ser mon to you. Think that God is your Father— yours as well as Mr. Moody’s. Go to Him,and ask Him to forgive you for the sin of honoring His creators more than Himself. Be very hum ble for the sin. Then ask your Father submis sively for the life and health of your friend. Do not be imperious in your prayer. Tell Him what you want. Ask Him to grant it if it is best; but ask Him to teach you to submit and be content, if it is not best. Then leave the case in His care with the sweet submissiveness and trust which shall be truly Christian. Be a child and believe in your Father; and not a sus picions slave that begs a favorite courtier to tease the king for a bounty. Black Hills.—A Maine man writing from the Black Hills, thus concisely and comprehen sively sums up the situatiou: Some make money; some get just enough to live on; some save what they get; others walk into a saloon, sit down at a gambling table, I>lay cards, lose it, get up and walk away quiet y.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Several Persons Killed by a Collision. Baltimore, Md., Jane 12.—An excursion train collided with the Winchester train near Point of Rocks to-day. Charles Keefer, Rich ard Dutraw, Dixon and Walker were killed. Louis Sibley, Mr. Cottrail and others were seri ously injnred.

Later despatches state that Louis Sibley died from the injuries received before being re moved. Col. Chas. Trail is reported to have been fatally injured. Ooe or two more may die, but the others will recover. The collision is attributed to gross careless ness and negligence of the train men. Messrs. Keefer, Trail, Falconer and Col.

Washington, June 12.—The Cabinet Coun cil tu-day lasted two hoars, but beyond giving attention to certain affairs of minor importance there was no business of extraordinary interest. It is understood the subject of appointments to the positions of Collector of Customs and naval alliairs at Baltimore, was discussed, but no conclusion leached. The President and the Alabama Delega tion. In view of the conflicting reports of the in terview held lyesterday with the President by the Alabama delegation, headed by Marshal Turner of that state, the following authorized statement is made: The gentlemen informed the President that after the returning of ex Gov. South’s delegation from the Cincinnati convention, they failed even as a committee and did not pretend to manage the canvass in Alabama. That canvass was managed entirely by the ltepublican committee, of which Chas. E. Mayer is chairman. The President ex pressed some surprise at this statement and said the appointments ho made in Alabama might have been mistakes, but he could not now recall them. He auswered the delegation he would make removals only for cause, that when the officer’s term had expired he regarded the office as belonging to the appointing power to reappoint or appoint a new one, as might seem best. The conversation then turned on the subject of “carpet-baggers,” when the President said that he did not regard as a “carpet-bagger” a man who went South to become a bona fide resident. Only those who went South for the purpose of holding office as a matter of business should be stigmatized as “carpet-baggers.” The interview lasted half an hour and the gentlemen of the delegation left with the impression that the President would make no further changes in Alabama, except for cause or where the commissions of office had expired. Additional Circulation leaned to Banka. To correct various published misstatements in reference to the amount of additional circu lation recently issued to national banks in the city of New York, the Comptroller of the Cur rency furnishes the following: The total amount of additional circulation issued to all national banks of the country since the passage of the act of January 14,1875, to date is $27,311,825. Of this amount $3,402,770 has been issued to banks in the city of Hew York as follows: From January 14,1875 to Jan uary, 1876, $186,780; daring th e year 1876, $1, 223,200. From January 1, 1877, to June 10, 1877, as follows: January $381,740; February $140, 040; March $387,720; April $659,600; May $423,600; to June 11th $46,100. The greatest amount issued to any one bank during the year ending June 1 was $675,000, issued in instal ments during the six months previous to the month of April, 1877. Circulation of the na tional banks in New York city was in October, 1872, $28,000,000; in October, 1873, $27,000,000; October, 1874, $25,000,000; October, 1875, $18, vwjvw f vviuuoif Aviv/, ii’XT,i>o-,vuu, vm.uiauuu January 1, 1875, was 824,800,000, and April 14. 816,283,000. So tbe circulation of New York city banks will need to be increased 88,000,000, or one-half the present amount outstanding at date of passage of the act of January 14,1875. There is no foundation whatever for the state ment that a national bank in the city of New York has had issued to it 81,000,000 additional circulation, three different times during the past week, as the whole amount issued to all the banks in New York city during the present year has been but slightlv in ex;ess of 82,000, 000. President Dayrt in Favor of ilic Double Standard. President Hayes, althongh in former years predisposed to adhere to the prevalent doctrine of finance writers in favor of a single gold standard, has materially changed his views during the progress of the general discussion regarding the wisdom and propriety of the act of 1873, which demonetized the old legal tender silver dollar. He is now in favor of its remon itization and of tbe readoption of the double standard of gold and silver, or in other words, he favors full return to the condition of things n relation to these subjects what existed previ ous to legislatien of 1873, being convinced that such return fo its former system will greatly promote resumption to specie payments, an ob ject that he regards of the first importance. He considers the legislation of 1873 to have been hasty and uncalled for interference in the legal tender powers of a large portion of our circulat ing medium. He has not yet formed any de termination to bring the subject officially to the attention of Congress, although it is by no means impossible that he may hereafter con clude that some recommendation on his part of the nature above outlined will be admissa ble. Various Matters. In reply to a delegation of Louisiana colored people to inquire whether he thought one-third of the patronage for various positions in the custom was too much. Secretary Sherman said if men of integrity and intelligence were chosen be thought they were entitled to a fair share of patronage, and further remarked that he would write to Collector King at New Orleans, on the subject. The revenue receipts to-day were 8207,240, customs 8314,315. The Secretary of the Navy has issued a cir cular urging economy in public advertisements in accordance with law. The books of the Treasury department show the total of one and two dollar notes in circula tion to be 851,404,511. The amount of such notes in the Treasurer’s office and reserved for use is 810,183,387. The amount in bureau of eugiaviug uuu iniuuug prepareu, or oeany ready tor delivery to the Treasury is $9,704, 972. Seven hundred millions of 4 per cent, bonds are open for subscription by our people, and subscriptions of from $50 to $100 will bo thankfully received by the Secretary of the Treasury. Frank P. Hastings of Maine, lately a clerk in the department of state, was to-day promot ed to the office of consular clerk. The offices of this grade in the consular service are per manent in the tenure. Forest Fires. San Francisco, June 12.—A despatch from Lompoc, Santa Barbara county, states that an extensive fire is raging in that vicinity, burning over many miles Equate, destroying grass and grain crops. A great number of cattle were overtaken by the flames. The fire will neces sitate the slaughter of a great deal of stock on account of forage. A Los Angeles despatch says that great for est fires are raging in the mountains west of that city, extending down lo the plains.

An ear nest, effective speaker, filled with a sense of the importance of his mission he has been the means of great good, Joseph Grinnell of ^Xew Bedford, was born November 17, 1788.

Was educated at New Garden Boarding School of Friends (on the battle ground of Guilford), his last school year at Westtown, Pa. He has spent most of his time since as a pnblic schoo1 teacher of the West. Most of his spare time from the school room has been devoted to the temperance cause with his wife. Has been a Son of Temperance since 1817, a Good Templar since 1854, and has signed every temperance pledge he coaid get his baud on since he was old enough to know how. ne is at the present time Librarian of the Y. M. C. A. free reading rooms in Lswiston. Mrs. M. N. Hunt was born at Dublin, Ind.* May 3,1831. Was educated at Friends’ Board’ ing School, (now Earlham CollegeJJRichmoud’ lad. Was married to D. W. Hunt in 1853, and went to the then new state of Iowa. la com pany with her husband (who was workiog un' der tho auspices of the Sons of Temperance,) she canvassad the state of Iowa on the temper ance question the year of 1855, at which time sbe made her first appearance as a public speaker. Her husband, being a teacher, and the price of teaching at that lime be ing too low to support a yoang family, she learned the Pit of photography and became a very popular artist. Under the old discipline of Friends, she had been disowned for accomplish ing her marriage “contrary to Friends’ usagep,’ and for many years had no connection with the Society. Sue was converted at a Methodi st meeting in Indiana in 1818, and at once began preaching. Shortly after she rejoined the So ciety of Friends; and was soon recognized as one of their bast public speakers. Iu 1872-3 the Western Yearly Meeting employed her and her husband to canvass several counties in In diana in the interest of the temperance cause. During their labors the crusade broke out in the West, and she at once went to the front as one ui men: leuuers. oue 10 j me crusaoe iu me cities of Southern Indiana and Louisville, Ky Herself and husband have canvassed over sixty counties of Indiana, a number of counties in Illinois, Kentucky aud Ohio. Last fall she came East, spent a few weeks in New Hamp shire, reaching this city in December. She is now living in Lewistoa. She preached last Sab bath at the West End Congregational church, on the subject of “Layiug up treasures in heav" eu,” and so well pleased were the people with her effort that she was again invited to preach there last night.

He was converted and began preaching about the year 18GC. He preached two hours next day, and has averaged two hours every day since. Hi9 ministry is em inently apostolic, and he has been the instru ment in God’s hands of converting a great many hundreds of persons. He devotes his en tire time to the spread of bis Master’s kingdom, the one central thought of his soul being the conversion and salvation of the people through a crucified Savior. He was married in 1852 to Phebe Beynolds of Ogden, Indiana, and hence this year makes the anniversary of their “silver wedding.” Their two sons are now grown and are following in the footsteps of the father. John Jessup was born ia Wayne county, In diana, in 1821. Has spent his life on the old farm as a farmer. He has a birthright in the Society of Friends, and is a brother of the well known and popular minister. Dr. Eli Jessup He was converted and began preaching abou t sixteen years ago. He is a very eloquent speak er and an earnest revivalist. He is one of the leading spirits in what is known in the West as the “Forward movement,” but which ia reality is only a return to first principles as taught and practiced by Fox and bis cotemporaries., The following is the programme for the an nual meeting of New England Yearly Meeting to be held in City Hal), at 7.30 this evening: Meeting opened by chairman of committee, James P. Boyce, Lyno. Beading Scriptdres, William Jacob, China. Address of Welcome, Hon. Neal Dow. Annual Beport with remarks on work, by chairman. Ten minute addresses by Martha B. Hunt of lodiana, Charlotte D. Holmes, Ehode Island, Eli Jones, China, Harriet Dalton Collins, Bhode Island, Edward S. Hacker, Brunswick, Jaco b Hunt, Indiana, J. W. Jacob, China. GENERAL NOTES. There having been some inquiry as to the mciuuu ui ap|iuiut!ti^xiicuu Luiuiaicis, tt piUUl" inent Friend in this city has kindly furnished us the following. The method has been much simplified by the discipline of 1871: If a brother or sister in Christ gives proof Of an evident call to the ministry of the Gospel, the Monthly Meeting appoints a committee to whom the name or names are consigned for in vestigation. If the person gives evidence of an experimental knowledge of salvation and a regenerated heart and God given powers to im part intelligently to others the saving knowl edge of the Faith, with a heart inspired by the power of the Holy Spirit, and filled with jearn ing for the redemption of our fellow race, the name is submitted to the Monthly Meeting, who, after prayerfully ;consideriDg and debat ing the matter, report the case, (if the decision be favorable) to the Quarterly meeting, where it is carefully and prayerfully considered. If the decision of that meeting confirms the de cision of the Monthly Meeting, the men's and women’s meetings uniting with the proposal in both cases, then the person is recorded as an acknowledged minister of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the ministerial record of New Eng land Yearly Meeting and Its subcrdinates, Snch ministers have liberty to appoint meet ings within limits of their own Quarterly Meet ing. If in other portions of the Yearly Meet" ing, the certificate of their Monthly Meeting is required. If in United States, outside of New England, the certificate of their Monthly Moet ing endorsed by their Quarterly Meeting. If to cross the Atlantic or in other lands beyond the sea, the special sanction and certificate of the Yearly Meeting are required, signed by its clerk and the recognized corresponding agents of the Yearly Meeting. It is a fact Dot generally known that it has been proposed for several years at the Yearly Meetings of the Society of Etiends, at New port. to hold a session in this city, more especi ally in order to aceommodaie the eastern people “The Yearly Meeting” holds a large amount of property, the original nucleus of which was de vised by various persons for especial purposes, and the amount of the whole has now increas ed to a very large amount. „It is proposed for instance to sell one gpiece of property in Rhode Island for half a million of dollars! Well, in order to give legality to the holding of the an v/a VUU liu (iUUl LUO Legislature of Ithode Island was necessary and was duly obtained. It was also thought neces sary to obtain an act of allowance from this state. Accordingly the act was passed at the session of 1875. After the law had passed all the preliminary stages, and sometime between two days, before the final passage some practi cal joker, not having the interest of our state and city befors his eyes, outrageously in terpolated into the bill a short section provid ing for the taxation of the property of the Friends for the year, that it might hold its ses sions here. Of course it was only a practical joke by some legislative or Augusta wag. The law was passed dually the next morning, no one noticing the interpolation. Of course this section alarmed the Friends and justly prevent ed their assembling of themselves together in this city last year. During the; last winter’s session of the Maine Legislature the act was duly amended by repealing the taxation clause, so the Friends could come into our moral state taxation free, and we are gl„d they have come, and hope that they will enjoy their ses sion so much that they will come again. It is highly probable that the Yearly Meet ings of New England Friends will hereafter be held alternately in this city and Newport. The Friends expect that the Yearly Meeting will adjourn Friday. The Hicksites or Unitarian Friends ate hold ing a meeting in Newport. Mrs. M. N. Hunt preached to a crowded house at West Ead Congregational church last night. That she won the confidence and es teem of her audience was shown by the warm hand shaking and the hearty “God bless you,” and “Won’t you come again,” from almost the entire audience. Her sermon was followed by a few earnest words by her husband. Bowdoin College —Commencement parts have been assigned as follows: Salutatory ora tor, Little; orations, Chapman, W. C.

Believes that the union of wounds will be perfect in most cases Jtf hot water dressings are used, if the parts are not closed, until hemorrhage has ceased, if tbe sutures are used so that no strain is brought to bear on the edges of the Wound, if coaptation is. perfect and cleanliness is ob served. i Instead of reading a paper on Catarrhal Phthisis Dr. Dana of Portland made some propositions which he hoped would elicit dis cussion in respect to this subject. Ou motion of Dr. Foster, Dr. liana was re quested to present a paper on this subject at the meeting next year.

Adams.“dypbil's” EVENING SESSION—8 P. M. Oration by Dr. Geo. F. French, Portland. Subject: “Materialism.’’ Hleam on Hired Railwari. I was recently in Philadelphia and bad an opportunity to inquire into tbe results of the experiment going on there for some months, of running cars by steam power instead of horses on the street railways. I noticed first that the cars ran along smoothly aDd rapidly, and were even more easily controlled and stopped and started, than horse cars are. I noticed that on heavy up grades, when the cars were full of passengers, they were run from six to eight miles an hour. On such trades horses must go at a walk, a hard pUlj ttt that, and must even have an addition to the number. The common horse car can be easily changed to a steam car, because the boiler and machin ery can be accommodated on the front platform. There is no noise or heat to disturb the passen gers, and the cars may always mD much faster than horse cars do, because they are more easi ly stopped to receive or drop passengers. The machinery costs about as much as a pair of good horses, will last indefinitely if properly cared for, and it is run at less cost than horses caD be. Any man caoable of making a good driver of horses can easily be taught to run the engine. I took especial pains to notice if horses which met the “dummies” in the streets were fright ened, and saw that they took very little notice of them, generally none at all. The experi ment is regarded in Philadelphia as an entire success. _ n. I>. Verdict for Injuries.— Thomas C. Wiley of Bucksport, has just recovered from the Win nisiment Ferry Company of Boston, a verdict of 84414.G7 for personal injuries. The plaintiff, on the 17th of March, 1875, was a passenger on one of the ferry boats of tbe company from Boston to Cbelsea. The boat struck against one of tbe piles of the wharf oti the Chelsea side, and the top of the pile was hroked off, and fell upon tbe plaintiff, injuring him in the head and elsewhere.

Bates and Osgood of Yarmouth, and Dr. Ammi Brown of Boston, were among the arrivals at the Preble yesterday. Detective Sterling was in Saco yesterday, searching for a team belonging to a Cape Eliza, beth man, stolen from the front of Bailey’s auction rooms Saturday. New Music —Among the very seasonable lyrics recently published by Oliver Ditson&CG* are: “Cow Bells in the Lane,” by W. S. Hays Music add words are good, and the picture title is a charming couutry scene. Then comes a song of the ocean, “Nancy Lee,” with a jolly “Yeo, ho!” in it and a brave song by Miss Lindsay, “My Laddie far away.” The piano music also has a sea-side flavor, being, 1st, “Sailor Chorus,” from Wagner’s Flying Dutch man, and 2J, “Beautiful Hudson Waltz,” by Nelson, after which we have, for contrast, “Little Jennie March,” with a sweet air in P, and a good deal of brilliancy. Mount Desert.—The “Mount Desert” of Mrs. Clara Barnes Martin is a model guide book. In it all tbo information which the tourist needs as to the topography of the island the best ways of reaching there, and the exeur' sious to be taken while there, are happily con veyed. But much more than this is given, for the little book is as fascinating as a sea poem by Longfellow, or as a description of a favorite picture by Buskin. The old stories which at tach to the lost dominion of Prance, the founda tion of St. Sanveur and the mission of the Jes uits, and of Cadilliac, “Lord of Mt. Desert,’ are charmingly told, and the accounts of Echo and Eagle and Otter Cliffs, the Spouting Horn, the Ovens, Witch Hollow, the Gorge, Adam’s Grave aud the Twins, and other wonders of “The gray and thunder-smitten pile” are as good as the excellent photographs with which the volume is embellished. The book is good to read by those who have never seen Mt. De sert, indispensable to those about to visit the place, and a charming volume to those who have ever passed any timo there. The publishers, Messrs. Luring, Short Harmon of this city, have just issued a fourth edition of the guide-book, containing in addi tion to the original matter notes upon the routes to Mt. Desert and the excursions to be made there, in the hopes, the author says, of makiDg it “serve the double purpose of a guide book at the Island, and at home on wintry days a souvenir [of pleasant summer-time.” The hope has beeu amply realized. As iu former editions the photographs of Schooner Head, the Great Head, the Devil’s Oven, the Clois' ters and Valley Cove appear,and there is given retained by loops within the covers, a large map printed from the original plate belonging to the Coast Survey. Those who have ever taken the delightful trip from this city on the good steamer Lewiston, under the courteous charge of Captain Deering, will be pleased to learn thatlMrs. Barnes considers it the best as it is certainly the favorite route. She says: “Those who have enjoyed this.trip.on two bright summer days, will agree that! nothing could be pleasautcr.

The largest manufacturing concern of sur gical instruments in this country, if not in the world, is undoubtedly that of George Tieniann Co. of New York city. To this enterprising house the medical profession is indebted for a largo nnmber of important improvements and inventions in that particular line. Their goods are of beautiful finish and superior quality, as has been acknowledged everywhere. At our Centennial Exhibition Tieniann Co. received the only award given for surgical instruments in competition with most every manufacturer of this country and a number from Europe. Lately they have added to their list a new bead saw to take the place of the ordinary chain saw. The Improvement consists of using small circular beads strung on wire, which enables the operator to use the saw with greater facility than the ordinary chain saw, and allows him to repair the same in case of acci dent without any loss of time, as he is simply obliged to place the beads on another wire. The thermo-cautery takes the place of the galvano-cautery, and enables the operator to control the heat to just the amount desired. The price of these instruments is less than those used in their place heretof jre. The new patent bent self-registering fever thermometer is another of the many inventions made by this house. The registering portion or index cannot bo united with the main column of mercury in the bulb except by design. The device of the bend fulfils the object of guard' ing against accidontal loss of index. The por tion of the thermometer intervening between the bulb and the commencement of the scale lies in juxtaposition to the bulb, and the as cending mercury is therefore subjected to the warmth of the parts asjwell as the bulb, and is not exposed to external temperature. Tieniann Co.’s only agent for Portland is Mr. Scblotterbeck, who keeps a large and varied assortment of their goods on hand, and is always supplied with new additions as fast as produced. His assortment at this time is much larger than ever before, and goods are sold at prices that commend themselves. Hivoonn P, C T> _til nlnsn on exhibition to-day at the rooms of F. O. Bailey Co., 33 and 37 Exchange street, twelve of their very best pianos. These pianos contain all the modern improvements and are their best specimens. Oar citizens should re member that Portland is the only place where Messrs. Vose Sons ever sold a piano at auction, and that the twelve pianos to bo sold by auction to-morrow were taken from their salesrooms and are the same instruments iD every respect that they are retailing and selling their agents all over the United States, and the same that have given them a reputation second to none. Every piano will be warranted for five years by the manufacturers.

Schenck’s Pulmonic Svrup, Sea Weed, Tonio and Mandrake Pills.—These medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con sumption than any other remedy known to the American public. They are compounded ol vege table ingredients, and contain nothing which can be injurious to the human constitution. Other reme dies advertised as cuics for Consumption, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug ia all cases, and it taken freely by consumptive patients, it must do great iDjury; for its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in the system, which of course, must make a core impossible. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain a particle oi opium: It is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver stomach and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body. These are the only means by which Con sumption can be cured, and as Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrap, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which operate in this way, it is obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is accompanied by full directions. Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal office, comer Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters tor advice must be addressed. jul eodlm&wsnlm WARNING To Dealers and the Public.
