In 1873, after a discussion, last- ing pore than two years, Congress pass ed Vi act demonetizing silver. At that tiatesilver was a legal tender for all debts. The;dvocates of demonetization contend- ed tht inasmuch as silver had become a marktable commodity : its value being fixed y the supply on hand and the de mand the markets of the world, that it was must and dishonest to continue a debasd coin of this kind as a legal ten der an, compel creditors to receive it in paymet ot debts. This argument pre vailed :imce 1873. silver has only been a legal Render to the amount of live dol lars. I is now proposed to order the coinage if the old silver dollar, which wa wbrtlftifee cents more tlfan tlie'gold dol lar, maid all other silver coins according to that shndard, and' then remonetize sil ver by itakinsr it to the same extent as the nofcs of the United States Treasnry, a legal ender. ; Secretary Sherman be lieves tjat remonetizing the silver dollar will aid in resuming- specie payments by talnsr the place-of the Treas- 1 j c ury nots exchanged for it.

O v. . jL'umam'8 tsons, wno nave a puousn ing house dn FiftJi Avenue, are issuing near- ly every w ek, an unpretending little pam. phfrthlch 'cofttahis tin tddTess' delivered the Transcendental school at the Masonic Temple, corner of Twenty-third streetnd sixth A ven ue; where, Sunday after Sunday t one of the most intellectual audiences of New York gather to hear liim speak. Here may 86611 P1 Bd mund Stedmau, aud men of thatstamp, who are i &e advanced guard of the Liberals or nationalists, and with : them large nurobere of intelligent Israelites, who have either lefl Israel a ehurch havn ing no religious services on that day, come H9 an inte,Iectual treat to hear one of the finest speakers of the city who, by the force of his intellect, has ' won himself a prorai nent position, and is denounced aa a heathen by his opponents, and almost worshipped as a demi-god by jiis followers. A believer in the humanity,' but not in the divinity of Christ, Mr. Frothingham stands between what The New York Wtirtd calls the "Gosh and Gush" of Brooklyn, and the open unbe lief of Standard Hall, where, at the same hour, another audience gathers for the pur pose of "ethical culture," which leaves out of consideration; all religious elements and eon fines itself to the study of those prob lems which bear directly upon human rela tions as such, and concern men in their daily life and intercourse with each other. Felix Adler, a son of the old Rabbi of the Temple of Emanuel, is tAe lecturer of Standard Hall, where there is neither prayer nor praise. In the Masonic Temple there is bo'h, but the prayer is "aspiration" not a petition for ben efits ; Christ is glorified man not God ; and the "scriptures of Confucius" or Budna, are read as well as the Sermon on the Mount. Mr. Frothingham tiolds that "men must 9 ltP to new beliefs before they can profit Dy tnem, ana must out grow oia Deiieis De- fore they can safely dispense with them." He regards the fall of Adam as a puremytbr the christian idea of Satan as a fiction a mere imagination ; holds evil to be, "not an intrinsic essential entity in tne universe, nut a negation, a shadow, a cloud, a name given to the realm of ignorance." While holding to the ethics of Christianity he discards its theology, deeming it "mythology," but he believes in Dreams. as well as Duty, while Aiiler and his followers discard the "dreams of a future state," and hold only to the duty due humanity from humanity in this world. As God has given man infaJibility only in mathematics, they would reduce everything to equations in mathematics, and would pull down what they call the veard house of religion," They have, discovered that all leligion is a form of nature worship, and be gan in the worship of the sun, and think they have only to ahow what the worship of thesuq was among jimntellectual rude lx- ple, and religion is "discredited. To this, Mr. Frothingham replies "About two hundred years ago it was dis covered that the diamond was composed en tirely of carbon, was, in face, pure carbon, was simply a lumpol coal. The experiment er succeeded perfectly in reducing the dia mond to charcoal. Has the iprice of dia monds fallen ?. Not at all, Jor charcoal has rever yet. bem exalted into diamond." "So it may be true that the finest religion in the world grew out of nature worship, but until your an by some process show how -nature Sffi1- Uful conceptiotis remain as beautiful as they were before the exposure was made. Our worship is as noble, our seutimeufc ad .heav euly,.our hope a- transcendaut.".. ..-j lere,ln iNurth Carolina, we have not "out grown" Christianity.

' ' iacemingiy ne took ! no account 01 time or of health. His plans, hia past history and his grief were communicated to no one. He had no confidant in. the land ,o the cactus and brigand. Among the .army of railroad men at that , time engaged at the Maltrata centre, h face was the sad dest of alL Many a time he would saddle his mustang and gallop toward the snow covered Orizaba peak. People who saw him while on these rides say that hid face was gloomy and that he rode recklessly. Once he was seen walking away, from his cabins towards the hills and then for hours he faced the plateau, with the sleet and rain heating nnon his head. He nnar- relled witlLno one ; but while at play in a cafe he was insulted, when a pistol en: counter followed, ending in, the wound ing of .McKay and tlie , death of . his assail ant. Th,e same eyemng a (. por woman approacJied him asking for charity, whien he emptiefl hia, . pockets . iito, t , her band. McKay wasJat this timei drifting rapidly into the wildest dissipation. He courted monte and drank the hry rum 01 the conn- try,. besides frequently facing the poison ous night winds, until-a fearful cough be gan to rack mnju .nfh.n thrench troops abandoned the distant metropolis and pre pared to march towards the Gulf, a panic seized the projectors of the road and the numerous bands of ( men on the Cumbres and along the linef the railway scatter ered hither and thither. McKay, too, worn out and sick, bade adieu to the bills and cliffs forever, and drifted down to the lowlands. He was sick and without money. Bitterly did he then repent of his folly. Without some means of subsistence a stranger must fall by the way, for with all the tropical fuluess and wonderful powers of production of the soil, to one without money the land seems a vast desert. A Mexican can look upon a starv ing man without one jot of sympathy. He never dreams of charity. 1$o wonder the younger engineer of the Cumbres looked gloomy as he made a survey of the future. I saw him as he sat on the balcony of the hotel the day of his arrival. Indeed, he was then compelled to ac cept help from his old comrades who were passing out of the empire. And McKay was a changed man. From this time on he touched no liquor, and, when once solicited to play, refused. But he would sit for hours together on the bal cony, his face turned toward the east, with a look of woe. He listened to the Doctor's plan of moving him to the coast, and believed that lif e might be prolonged in the warm air of the lowlands. But the lower coun try was swarming with guerrillas ; so time wore on, McKay remaining in the Spanish-Mexican city of Cordova, surely and swiftly drifting towards dissolution. And when tlie spring rains had ceased. in the valley and the coffee-trees, had grown red with ripening fruit, the host at the hotel grew uneasy about hia rich guest's poverty and probable decease. McKay would accept charity from no one. He was proud as a large, landed baron. He owed no one. Even his losses at faro were liquidated to the last farthing. He looked upon his advances of his few friends as so many loans to be cancelled upon the arrival of- a remittance from Boston. And he was growing restless about the delay. Each mail was a fresh hope and at the same time a bitter disap pointment.' But hope died at last; and from that day on no smile ever stole into the face of the sick engineer. A little girl, beautiful as a lilly,- wonld now and then present him with a wild flower, and while he thanked the girl in a eourteons way his eyes travelled out toward the east, and when the little one s questioned him lie answered not a werd. " - One day he overheard the landlord complain of delinquent guests. Ho-knew that he was meant, and he was. It was a cruel allnsjion. It struck home. The face hitherto pale, underwent a change it grew older in an hour.
