How It Tories in Different Countries. Congressman Warner, of Ohio, the author of the Warner silver bill, has prepared an elaborate comparative state? ment of the volume of currency in the United States in 1865, 1873 and 1878, showing also the amount per capita in actual circulation at these periods, and the volume and amount per capita in circulation in the principal countries in Europe. It was orepared at the request of Congressman Muldrow, of Mississippi, and is as follows: House of Representatives, wa3hixgtox, D. C, June 30, 1879. Hon. H. L. Maldrow, Siarkville, Miss.: Death Sik?In reply to your request of June 10,1 have compiled from the most reliable sources the enclosed tables. The figures giving our own currency volume at different periods are taken entirely from official treasury statements made at different times. I have included nothing that was not strictly currency, although immediately after the war, and lasting for some time, treasury certificates, quar- j termaster certificates and other evidences of public debt, passed from hand to hand, j and to some extent, a'; least, performed the functions of currency, and helped to swell the effecting volume greatly beyond the volume given, but as they were not money in any proper sense, i have left them all out, and included only what is embraced in official reports as constitu? ting the currency. As you will observe, I Lave given the circulation of each pe? riod per capita, which is a necessary com? parison when considering the question of volume of money. I am very respectfully yours, A. J. Wabnee.

But plainly neither this coin nor other currency that has been purchased by the sale of bonds and held under the resumption act as a hoard or gathered in the treasury as the result of an excess of revenue over expenditures, onght to be counted as a part of the circulation, for certainly it can have no eflect whatever upon prices. Taking the present population of the United States at 49,000,000, the above volume ($680,424,643) gives $14 per capita. No account in the statement for either of | the above periods have been taken of the gold and gold notes (now about $1,500,000 of the latter) in circulation on the Pacific coast. The coin in circulation on the Pacific slope has been variously estimated from fifteen to twenty millions, but whatever it may be it has not changed enough to affect the" comparison of the different periods given.

The nations nations, which snows the effect of na? tional debts in the distribution of metallic money. Russia has an inconvertible paper currency of about $800,000,000; Austria about $460,000,000; Italy about $240,000,000, but thero are no rcliablo estimates of the quantity of the precious metals held in these countries outside of the public treasuries, but, as specie pay? ment is suspended in these States, the amount is not large. The quantity of coin in circulation iu the three countries given?England, France aud Germany? it should be remembered, too, are esti? mates by those most competent to make them. In compariug the volume of cur? rency in different countries, it is neces? sary, in order to correctly measure the relation of volume of money to prices, to consider the business habits of the peo fle and the economizing appliances used, hus in England the clearing house, the bank check and other forms of credit do a part of the work which in France is done by money only. In other words, iu France there is less* use of credit instru? ments and greater use of money, and con? sequently the money volume is larger. But in France there is less expansion contraction, and fewer panics than in England. While these differences in the money volume of different countries ex? ist, it nevertheless is strictly true that prices depend on the relation of the money volume to commodities and trans? actions, and it is a matter of the most vital importance to understand that the voluma of money in any country can never be materially toitracted without breaking down prices, checking enter? prise, stifling production and producing idleness, bankruptcy and the long train of miseries that follow. There is no other cause of the present prolonged stagnation of trade and business in this country but the reduction of the volume of money?first, the reduction of the paper volume, then the reduction of me? tallic money from gold and silver to gold alone. This change was nothing less than a high crime against the whole peo? ple. As nothing but the withdrawal of money from the channels of trade and business has produced the present condi? tion of things in this country, so nothing but a stop to this reduction and the full remonetization of silver and the libera? tion of the treasury hoards will restore prosperity. The healthiest thing to do at this time, perhaps, would be to let more be paid out of the treasury, and les3 collected?in other words, lighten taxation for a while and let the money hoarded in the treasury be drawn upon a little more for government expenses?or, perhaps, better still, use the accumulated store to cancel so much interest bearing debt. Above all things, let both the precious metals, without limit or restric? tion, be retained as money. extraordinary powers of a lad of Ten Years.?There is in this city one of the most remarkable boys in the world, probably. He is a son of Colonel Fuller, ex-Postmaster of Bangor, and is now ten years of age. His intellect is perfectly wonderful, and almost goes be? yond belief. The first that his friends noticed of his precocity was about a year ago, when they accidentally discovered that he was almost infallible on any date he had ever seen or heard. He was sent out West with his parents at the time, and as he was walking in company with some relatives, in a cemetery, they observed that he would look at a tomb stoue, read the date of the death recorded, and the exact age of the person buried there, and then glance up and tell what day of the week the dead person was born on. This happened on several occasions, and but little atten? tion was paid to it. Finally, however, one of his relatives took pains to look into an old almanac covering some of the dates he bad meutioned, and found that the day of the week had been given cor? rectly in every instance. This caused them to ask him questions, when it was discovered that he could almost instantly tell the day of the week on which any date within the last seventy-five years fell. Only yesterday the writer gave the lad dates from 1812 to 1840, and in every case Charlie (that is his giveu name) gave the day of the week corresponding to that date, and gave it correctly. The longest time occupied" in any one case was eight seconds, and the shortest was three seconds, the average being about five seconds. It should be remembered that while he answered, there was no book or any other article near him from which be could get any aid. If he has once heard the date of birth marriage or death of any of his friends he remembers it, and, of course, from what has been said above knows on what day of the week the date fell. If one calls his attention to any person and in? forms him that the individual was born on a certain day of the woek and month, he will, on seeing that person months afterward, speak up and say that that man's birthday falls on a certain day, which is the date he was casually told so long before. Not a great while ago he walked up to one of his relatives aud in? formed him that it was so-and-so's birth? day, the date of the person's death hav? ing been told him long ago. For curios? ity, the relative took Charlieby the hand and walked to the place of business of the friend mentioned. "Charlie," remarked the relative to the friend, "says this is your birthday; is it?" "Well, I didn't think of it before," replied the friend, "but no doubt this is my birthday." ?A well-known physician of this city is responsible for a story that, although disgusting, may serve to show how the yellow fever germ was preserved through the intense cold of hist winter. A South 3Iemphis woman, whose husband died of the fever last year, not only preserved the clothing which he had on when he died, but even tlm sheet upon which he lay, covered as it was with stains of black vomit. She keeps these relics in a wood? en chest, and every now and then takes them* out, because as she says, the smell reminds her of her dear Willie.?Mem? phis Avalanche. ? The Philadelphia Record charges that of two hundred and one bodies re? ported as buried by the coroner in the Potter's Field only eighty-one reached the grounds, the remainder having been sold as subjects for the dissecting room. The coroner receives a fee of eight dol? lars for burying an adult and five dollars for a child and if tho Record's statements are correct, the city has paid the coroner nearly one thousand dollars for inter? ments that have never been made. ?

The following characteristic little sketch is from the Natchez, Miss., Demo? crat: "Halloo, stranger, you seem to he go? ing to market?" "Yes sir, I am." "What nie you carrying that plow along for?" "Going to send it to Pittsburg." "To Pittsburg, in Pennsylvania I" "You're mighty right, I am." "What are you going to send it there for?" "To get sharpened." "All the way to Pittsburg to get shar? pened ?" "You bet! We've starved our black? smith out. He pulled up stakes the other day and went to Texas." "Well, that's a rather novel idea my friend?sending a plow so far to get sharpened." "Not so novel as you heard it was. We do our milling in St. Louis." "Is that so?" "You're right it is. We used to have a mill at Punkinvinc creek, but the own? er got too poor to keep it up and so we turned to gcttiug our grinding done at St. Louis." "You don't mean to say you Bond your grist all the way to St. Louis by rail ?" "I didn't say nothing about grist?we hain't got no grist to send. But we get our flour and meal from St. Louis." "I see you have a hido in your wag? on." "Yes our old v.?w died last week. March winds blowed the life out'n her. Sendin' hide to Boston to get it tanned." "All the way to Boston? Is not that rather expensive, my frieud? The freights will eat the hide up." "Thats a fact? clearner than the buz? zards did the old critter's carcass. But what's the use beiu' taxed to build rail? roads, 'thout you get the blood of 'em ? Used to have a tanyard over at Liekskil lett, and a shoemaker, too. But they ker flummuxed." "Kerflummuxed?what's that?" "It means gone up a spout?and twixt you and me that's mighty nigh tho case with our State." "When do you expect to get your leather?" "Don't expect to get no leather at all ?expect to get shoes, some day, made at Boston or thereabouts." "Rather a misfortune to lose a milk cow, my friend." "Not so much of a misfortune as you heard it was. Monstrous sight of shuck in' and nubbin in a cow, and milkin' her night and morniu' and gotton only bout three quarts a day." "What are you going to do for milk?" "Send North for it" "Send North for milk?" "Yes; concentrated milk and Goshcu butter." "Ohl I see the point," "Mighty handy things, these, railroads ?make them Yankee fellers do all our jobs for us, now?do our smithin', and grindin', and tanin', and milkin', and churnin.'" "Yes, we go otir bottom nickel on cot? ton. Sendiu' it up to Massachusetts to get carded, spun and wove. Time'll come when we'll send it there to be ginned, then we we'll be happy. Mon? strous sight of trouble runuing these gins." "That would be rather expensive, sending cotton in seed." "No more, so than them Western fellers pays when they send corn East and get a dollar a bushel and pay six bits freight. Besides as, I said, what is tho use of pay? ing for railroads 'thout we use the road?" "You seem to appreciate the value of railroads." "I think we ought?we pay enough for 'em." "I reckon you fatten your own pork ?" "Well, you reckon wrong, stranger. I get them Illinoy fellers to do that for mo. It's mighty convenient, too; mon? strous sight of trouble toting a big bas? ket full of corn three times a day to hogs in a pen, especially when you hain't got none to tote it to." "I should think so." "There's one thing lacking though to make the business complete." "What's that?" "They ought to send them hogB ready cooked. Cookin', and preparin' wood for cookin', takes up a heap of time that ort by rights to be employed in the cot? ton patch. I was sayin' to my old wo? man, the other day, if we Mississippi folks got our cookin' and washin' done up North and sent by express we'd be as happy as officeholders." "Your horse in the lead there seems to be lame." "Yes, needs shociu.' If he wasn't the only horse I've get, and can't spare him I'd send him up where they make the horse shoes and nails and get him shod. Can't get such a thing done in our parts. Perhaps I can at the depot." "How do you manage to live in your parts, my old friend ?" "Why, we raise cotton. My road turns off here, stranger. Gee, Ball, back Brandy, I'm glad I seed you stranger." How to Grow a Mustache.?A la? dy thus writes to the Philadelphia Times: I noticed in your to-day's issue that one of our own fair sex is in a great predica? ment because her son is unable to raise a mustache. My own husband was in the same unpleasant situation, hut by using tho following remedy his mustache com? menced to grow vigorously, coming out nice and full. It is because that I am in sympathy with the men that I write this letter: Take a teaspoouful of bay rum, one drachm of turpentine, one drachm of glycerine, and put in ounce bottle and ?11 up with common lard.

Texan Manifestation of Friendship. A friend gives us tho following little anecdote as illustrativo of the neighborly love of tho people of Texas: He aud a Texan, who was contemplating the pur? chase of a ranch somewhere in Truckcc Meadows, were out on horseback looking at the farms and cattle ranges alone the river. As they leisurely followed the nicanderiugs of the stream they presently saw two horsemen on the opposito bank. As the two parties approached each other the Taxan with our friend recognized in one of the men.on the opposite bank of the river an old friend, and a man who was one of his nearest neighbors at home. The two men hailed each other from the opposito banks of the stream, and, ex? changing greetings, many friendly ques? tions were put and answered. The men were evidently delighted to meet each other, and their only regret appeared to be tbat they encountered one another in a place where it was impossible for them to clasp and shake hands, the river not being fordable on account of its swiftness and the rocky and treacherous nature of its channel, while the nearest bridge was five miles above. Both men lamented theso unfortunate circumstances very much, but at length a way of getting over tho difficulty suggested itself to the dro? ver, whoso pet name was "Broncho Bill." "I say, Sam!" cried Broncho, "it's a little rough for old friends and neighbors to meet away out here, thousands of miles from home, and then have to part in this way. Got yer pistol with yer?" "I hev!" cried Sam; "allers carry her!" "Good! That's some comfort! ef we can't get across this ynr dam streem to shake hands, why' thar's nothin' to pre? vent us from taking' a shot at each oth? er. Jist ride up to yer left thar a rod or two. Thar, now, jist one good old neighborly, home shot!" The men rodo aside, and bang 1 bang! went their pistols. "Yer smashed the pummel of my sad? dle," cried Broncho; "yer sec the cussed boss shied a little jist as yer turned loose, or yer might a plumped mo good." "You done better, Bill; you got into the flesh of my left arm?'bout half an inch. Good morning to you, a safe jour? ney to yer and tell the folks at home we met and had a good sociable time togeth? er." "Thanko yer an' the same to you?bet I'll give 'em a good account of you." Sam then turned to our friend and with tears in his eyes said: "God bless him I It is a great comfort to meet an old fiieud and neighbor like him away out here in this wilderness place.

Debt has some streaks of light around its dark mantle. So has death. Debt represents the fact of character. It may be a past fact; nevertheless, at tho time when it was incurred its victim had char? acter. Thus debt stands for something. It is the lowest possible condition to be too poor to get in debt. The next low? est is to get in debt. Tho highest is to be able to get in debt and not do it. It is like the ability to Bin, which argues great confidence on the part of Creator, aud which, unactup.lized, argues great exalta? tion or. the part of the creature. The happiest condition is, having been in debt to get out again?so you can feel that no man has auy claim against you; that no man can justly say, "I own a part of his life." Many a poor soul, in these days of hard settlements, look up? on heaven as endowed with new attrac? tions in that there will be no dobt there. The hardest strain on character is to be so encased in debt that whichever way one turns he strikes against some impas? sable wall. To beat about in such a cage, aud be forever struggling to do jus? tice, and honor God, and preserve integ? rity, iB the highest test of character. Brother, if you are overboard in mid ocean, it will try your quality to swim your best?but God is developing you. Swim as long as you can, and God may either send a ship or a whale to take you up. If auy land appeals along the hori? zon anywhere, swim towards that. It is not absolutely necessary that you should reach it. It i9 necessary that you should swim your best. That will save chaiacter. It is not necessary for you to die, leaving a good estate. But it is necessary that you should proierve perfect integrity. Pov ei*y is not the worse thing in the world; sin is the worst thing in the universe. Make a dead fight to pay your debts, and keep your integrity. Don't lie down. If you are knocked down, that is not your fault. Den't dodge. If you are hit, accept it as a part of provi? dence. No man comes to his best development of manliness till he has looked tho wolf out of countenance. It is a heavy strain on your nerve, but it is one of God's pro? cesses. Poverty and debt are tho professors in God's University, to whom is committed the perfecting of the Senior Class. The lessons arc long and hard, but tbat is the way ability is matured. To live on short rations and habitual? ly deny one's wile and children the lux? uries and comforts of life, because one's earnings justly belongs to somebody who has had tho confidence to lend a helping hand; to poise every investment over the poiut of obligation to a creditor; to care? fully study one's endurance as so much due to another, aud use it as a trust fund in such a way as to get the most out of it for another; to make a sixpence do the work of a shilling; to explore every pcu ny for its last and utmost capacity; to study how to do without things 1 to learn how not to want things?all these are the lesssons in the higher classes of God's University. Broiler, stand firm. The outer man shiver and tremble under these loads, but the inner man?the real man?can grow strong and acquire a beauty tbat will break out of the hard bud in the genial light of the world to come. Stand up to this training, aud when you have graduated, whatever men may read on this side of your tomb, on the- other side of it saiuts and angels will read : "Graduated with honor."?The Be A Liberal 'Wer.

THE countenance is pale and leaden colored, with occasional flushes, or a circumscribed spot on one or both cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pu? pils dilate; an azure semicircle runs along the lower eye-lid; the nose is ir? ritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds; a swelling of the upper lip; occasional headache, with humming or throbbing of the ears; an unusual secretion of saliva; slimy or furred tongue; breath very foul, particularly in the morning; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a gnawing sensation of the stom? ach, at others, entirely gone; fleeting pains in the stomach; occasional nausea and vomiting; violent pains throughout the abdomen; bowels ir? regular, at times costive; stools slimy; not unfrequently tinged with blood; belly swollen and hard; urine turbid; respiration occasionally difficult, and accompanied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive; uneasy and disturbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth; temper variable, but gener? ally irritable, &c. Whenever the above symptoms are found to exist, DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE will certainly effect a cure. it does not contain mercury in any form; it is an innocent prepara? tion, not capable of doing the slightest injury to tlte most Under infant. The genuine Dr. McLane's Ver? mifuge bears the signatures of C. Mc Lane and Fleming Bros, on the wrapper. -:0: DR. C. McLANE'S LIVER PILLS are not recommended as a remedy " for all the ills that flesh is heir to," but in affections of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints, Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, or diseases of that character, they stand without a rival.

Cast of Col. J, C. Branson. Kingston, Ga., September 15,1871. Gents?For sixteen-years I have been a great stillerer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms. I have been confined to my room and bed for fif? teen years with scrofulous liberations. The most approved remedies for such cases had been used, and the moot eminent physicians consulted, with? out any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, dis? tressed, desponding, i was advised by Dr. Aver, of Floyd County, On., to commenc tho use of your Compound Extract stillingia. Language is as in suUiclcnt to describe tho relief I ob?lnen from the use ol the Stillingia as it is to convey nn adequate idea of the intensity of BIJP s Ufering before using your medicine; sufltclcnt to wy, 1 abandoned all either remedies and continued the um of your Ex? tract of Stillingia, until I can sav truly, "t am cuied of all pain," of all disease, with nothing to olistruel (he active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this rc murkable cure, without any return of tho disease. For the truth of the above statement, I refer to any gentleman in Itartow County, Co., and to the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the deepest gratitude, vottr obedient servant, J. C. BRANSON, Atl'y at Law. A MIRACLE. West Point, C\., Kept. 10,1870.

In March, following, pieces of bone be gau to work out of tho right arm, and continued to appear till all the bone fron the elbow to the shoulder joint came nut. Many nieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg.' The cose was then pronounced one Of White Spelling. After having been confined about six years to her bed, j and the ease considered hopeless, I was induced to try Dr. Pemberton's Compound Extract of Stillin? gia, and was so well satisfied with its eifects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over with? out help. She now sits up all day, und sews must Of her time?has walked scran the room. Her general health b> now good, and I believe she will, as her limbs gain strength, wall: well. I attribute I her recovery, with the blessing ?f Uod, to the uso of your invaluable medicine.
