Now the deeper the pond is t he greater is t he jires.su re at the jMv.nt where the screen is, and in drawing jmnds arranged In this way tlie screen is often fouled bv trash. and once stoj'jied uj the out :!' of water i CHt otT and there ia trouble onjhand. This is especially the case in ionds stocked with carji, for they mot a great deal like hogs, often burying the screen mouths beforehand. Such a screen once eioggei with a th diatelv 1 cannot in- reached except stitk or rake, and then the are often so tightly stopped : leaves removed are imme- sucked back. In any at- tempt to re al most siiia lieve it the screen is al to Ik- damaged. Through any ojmngs thus unintentionally made, the small fish escajve, and their scales lcing torn otT death ensues.

The wire screen over the end of the rluaie be-i-oming clogged it takes on such pressure that it is often blown out or sj)lits acra)s.s, mid once torn it cannot be mended. The water rushes through with great force under such conditions, however much the gat may Ih closed, and the fish go out Willi it and are torn in their exit mon the ragged wire. Any attemjit to ut a screen at the! lower end fails, as the jiresauro still J remain. A person drawing such a jioiid will kill or loose his fish or dinarily. His wire may bo rotten so rus to give way. or it may clog so that he oatinot clear it without mak ing a large ojx'ning, or if he used to eopH'rwirv with iron or galvanized tacks entirely consumed by galvanic action and the screen ready to fall away from the tmx.

' 'T observed the enemy were pre i jiaring to charge the battery in such I overwhelming numbers that I 1 feared it woold 1h' captured, and so ordered it withdrawn. W hile re treating I saw I. lent.

On my askintr him the ' jurose, he rejdied: i "For God's sake, Cajitain. get ; the battery into 'lay and save the j day." The advantage of the jiosi tion struck me at once, and we rajiidly mi limbered. Py this time ! the Mexicans were advancing, and i we orvened fire at very short range. I The effect of the discharge was , murderous, and the ehemy fell ; back shattered and broken. At j this moment, when the report had ; hardly died away, and the smoke' i still lingered almut the muzzles of! the guns, Gen. Taylor came gallop-1 mgdown, followed by his staff. He wore an old straw hat, very much the j j worse for wear.

Ki'iri'K Ji 'iT.NAi.:-In your is Mie ot y e-terday you say that in my opinion ihe etlect of demonetizing silvi r would be most disastrous. The statement was made without my knowledge. I do. however, most unhesitatingly say that to demone tize silver, the effect cannot be otherwise than disastrous. To withdraw from cit dilation, or to take ,iwa the legal tender proper tics of Mier w hich constitutes one h .tl i i the meta'.ic currency of t he country will, in my judgment, greatly augment the depression that now exists. It will greatly en hance the purchasing powers of gold. It will greatly depreciate the value ot real estate and will still greater reduce the prices of every art ich '1 produce that is raised m untry. It will reduce the the laborer. It will in- i he burden of indebtedness the same time reduce the it the debtor to meet his this c wages crea-e and at abiiit v obligations on account of the de preciation in the value ot his proj erty or his produce. As only one side ot the question has been heard, and 'is you have without my knowl edge expressed my opinion about it, I will furnish y ou from time to time some arguments to prove to any unbiased mind the correctness of t he opinions I entertain. I herewith send you some ex tracts from a pamjdilet jmblished by .Inhn T!iomjson, President of the Chase National Dank of New York. William H. Oliver. e now have had twelve years of warfare over the two precious; metals, one party contending for a; single (noo. gold standard; the1 other jarty contending for the con tinuing of the double standard. It is a contest between debtor and creditor The advocates of the mini,, gold standartl commenced the trouble. In 1 ST.'!, Germany having obtained a thousand millions of gold from France indemnity money) undertook to substitute gold for silver. At the commencement of this movement silver was at a pre mium, but the natural effect to sup ply and demand soon followed. The : German silver overstocked the Lon-1 don bullion market; this, together : with the absorption of gold, caused a violent jiarting of the market value of the two metals. Follow-1 ing the lead of Germany; Sweden, Denmark, Norway and this conn-; try, demonetized silver France, Iielgium, .Sjiain and Italy stopjied coining it, and in July, lSTf., 4 of i gold was equal in the London bnl-! lion market to 5 of silver. In 1S78, our Congress ordered the jurchase i and coinage of two millions of silver jer month, this being about . one half of the out-put of our mines. i He fore any change in our coiuage1 laws can be had, there will have been L"!..,H0.00 of legal silver dol ; Iars coined and held by the people' and the C. S. Treasury. i Gold as money is jiractically un known by the jeople; they handle' silver and pajer money only. If the paper money is redeemable in com. then it is equal to coin and is' more satisfactory than the coin it-1 self. ! The debtor class is ten to one of the creditor class; the mortgagror' are numerous as compared with the iifirtqrujt'i s. The debtor knows full well that the conversion of silver' into merchandise instead of being; monetized, will fully double the burden of his debt. l'RKDICTIN Having stated only a few of the iniiisjuitabie iacts involved in tnei currency discussion, I will venture a jirei'.iction at the risk of being called a false projihet. Congress will not demonetize silver. It always has been and will -ci in t ' :; He to be money. The eiVoit. now in full force to tlood the country with fractional j coin, will soon load the merchants! with money which the banks will 1 re! Use to t, ike except at a discount, to coer the expressage to some1 -lib trea.-my . and when there it will he leiieell vcr cert i ii i';n a!iy. ilelin 'he! i. silver will w ill lie III i I regie: talk olid if : ii silver dollars or sil- it I he determination to silver is jiersisted in, be the standard and gold chaiKllse. the necessi ty of this pi am do sincerely hope that -nine uiea.-uie can be adopted to1 pei pet uat-e t he double, or bi-nietalic -tandaid. The equities, as between ; debtor and creditor should not be. iolated.

A special to the Pa.it-Itixp'Ztch from Little Rock, Ark., says: Advices have been received from Bienville parish, La., to the effect thata reign of terror exists in some parts of the parish.

Senator Stanford is a leador in a movement in California to raise ?250, 000 for the Grant monument in Golden (fate Park. Father Hyacinthe declares that war cannot be dispensed with and that those who advocate its abolition are "danger ous, almost criminal LTtopians. " The sparrow has not lost caste abroad, but he is losing it at home. The coun try papers of England .'are fdled with a discussion by farmers as to the bo6t methods for his extermination. Reports from New England say that the chestnut harvest this year is not so abundant as usual, bnt that the nuts are larger and of better quality than usual. Probably the price will not fall below 83 a bushel, which is a high figure. The smallness of the compensation is the complaint of the special delivery messengers in nearly every part of the country. In Savannah the messengers averaged "i cents p?r diem for the first three days. Adelaide Detchon, who for a season bloomed at Wallack's, is winning great favor in London as a unique warbler. Her imitations of different birds are pronounced delicious. She is fast mak ing a fortune. A church in Orlando, Fla., having shown signs of falling on a recent Sun day, the congregation fied in a body, and a local paper, speaking of the inci dent, remarks that it occurred just as the collection were about to be taken up. At a recent sale in London of an or nithological collection the high price of 21 guineas was paid for a single speci men of a duck, but it was the little buffle head, or butter ball, familiar to American sportsmen, which had wand ered as far as the Norfolk Broads. This bird is rarely seen in Europe. The sentence of a thief in the North ampton, Mass. , House of Correction ex pired last Monday and he was released. On his way out he entered a prisoner's cell and stole two bair chains. The theft was quickly discovered, the ex convict rearrested, and immediately tried and sentenced to a new term. A town meeting at Derby, Conn., decided that the town should relinquish all claims to a bequest of $5,000, de vised by a deceased Justice of the Peace, on condition that the town should not touch any of the money until it amount ed to 85,000,000. It was calculated that the bequest would not become operative for 200 years. The heirs at law now get the money. Dr. Fothergill, a greatlv respected English authority on dyspepsia, speaks strongly in favor of milk puddings and stewed fruits for the dyspeptic, the bilious and the gouty. He says: ''Sugar is undoubtedly objectionable to many, but it 16 by no means necessary to add sugar to stewed fruit. If the acidity be neutralized by a little bi-carbonate of soda, the natural sweetness of the fruit will be brought out and the dish be made more agreeable than though artificially-made sugar were added." The flag of the St. Mary Cannoniers, a Louisiana Confederate -battery, captured at Irish Bend, La., in April,1863, by the Thirteenth Connecticut "Volunteers, has been delivered to the Adaoas Express Company in Hartford to be returned. The flag was presented to the battery in 1862, and bears the inscription, "The Ladies of Franklin to the St. Mary Can noniers." With it is sent a nw silk flag inscribed, "Thirteenth Connecticut Volunteers to the Ladies of Franklin, La . and the St. Mary Cannoniers." Tbeold-fashioned spinning wheel was introduced a short time ago into the Isles of Man Insane Asylum with the Idea of amusing the patients. The lat ter seemed delighted that they could in in this way contribute to their support, and became so absorbed in their new occupation nhat their nervous symp toms no longer predominated. As Dr. Richardson, tbe medical superintend ent, expressed it, the direction of the nervous force was changed, and thsir condition was improved. The experi ments is to be tried in other asylums. It is said that the first restrictive liquor law evar passed in this cauntry was enacted in a little town in Rhode Island and read as follows; "Every saloon keeper who sells jnore than one gallon of liquor to a minor shall be fined one dollar and cost." The first temperance pledge re membered in circulation in New England was thus worded: "I solemly swear to abstrain from the use cf intox icating liquors on all occasions except on training days, wedding days, ban quets, and other occasions," A will, in which the testator, a Bridgeport (Conn.) man, directed, "I will that not one of my connections shall have a dollar; also that not one of my wife's connection shall have a dol lar," is now occupying the attention of the courts of that State. His will pro vides that two charitable bequests shall i be paid and the rest of his property I turned into cash to be used discretionat ' ly by the Selectmen of Bridgeport for I the special benefit of the "worthy, de ! serving, poor. Democratic, American Protestant widows" residing in Bridge port, A decision ia expected this month. Sportsmen should be careful not to eat of meat from animals which have i been much tortured by dogs during the j death agony. Dr. Detniars of the National Society of Microscopists, in ex amining samples of the meat the eating ; of which had killed several persons in I Momence, 111., found change which were clearly attributable to a frenzied condition of the animals from which it i was taken. The Doctor's opinions upon the subject were formed after careful miscroscopical examinations of hun dreds of samples of meat from cattle ' slaughtered in Chicago while they were in a frenzied condition irom irignt. I Some time ago Prince Alexander, of Bulgaria, proposed for the hand of a . princess belonging to one of the great ' reigning families. Although the lady i herself was not averse to the match, her : parents scouted the idea, telling the ! suitor he must rise a good deal higher before he would be fit to mate with their daughter. The Prince took this rebuff , in good part, merely remarking: 'A ery well, then, since you will not accept a ' mere Prince for a son-in-law. I must ; trv to i&ake myself a King. " This was : regarded at the time as a mere idle vaunt, but Prince Alexander's present ; enterprise gives the utterance something ' of the character of a prophecy. I Among the audience 'at Stratford-on-', Avon on the occaeion of Miss Mary ' Anderson's production there of "As t A'ou like" was Mr. Fox, a London artist I in hair, of much repute in theatrical circles. It was he wbo provided the ' leading wigs for the company. After : performance, we are told, Mr. Fox fell a-talking with one of the actors, who, ( full of the triumph of the hour, could f not help turning toward the church where the dramatist sleeps and remark ing, musingly. "How pleased Shake . .spearo would have been if he could have seen our performance." "Ah. sighed Mr. 'Fox, "how pround he would have been if he could have seen how the piece was wigged." If the teller of a French bank has t d iiibts as to the honesty of an unknown ci istntuer.hedoos not trustlto his memory tc recall the features of the person he st spects. but calls on science to prottct tin.' bank. He gives a private signal to thi' cashier, and that responsible oflicer. wLule the teller is in the act of making payment, brings the photographic cam . m i conveniently placed beside hum. but invisible to the customers, to b 'ar upon the unsuspecting part, and on leaving the bank he leaves a proof of his identity after him without in any degree being conscious of the fact. A this experiment has only been at work for a short time, it would be premature to pas- a hasty judgment upon h-nierit-. Professional Cards. CHAS. H- BROWN, A T T O K N K Y - A T - I, A V .
