Speak i no of tho Dunoon it Sherman

Bays :
The long delay in oovoring tho let
ters of credits issued to American trav
elers struck a blow at tho financial
reputation of our banks from which
thoy will bo slow to recover. There
a general conviction that tho timo haB at
length arrived for a departure from (ho
present nsago on this subjoot. These
bills should bo covered by ootton and
grain, tbo samo ns other kinds of drafts.
As matters uow stand tho holders of
Amorioan letters of credit aro wholly at
tho mercy of tho bankers. In England
and tho continent of Europe thoro is
onoh a hostile feeling to Americau firms
that they will no longer touch any of
their securities.
Preparations for the issno of silver
coin in place of fractional currency aro
in sotivo progress at tho treasury de
partment. Secretary Bristow thinks it
■will be neoeesary to sell two hundred
and fifty millions of llvo por cent, bonds
for the pnrehaso of currency, in additiou
to ono hundred millions already sold.
This will add materially to tho interest-
bearing debt, but it will give tho pnblio
something tangible in tho way of money
—something that has not been known
for fifteen years. Thoro is, however,
some doubt as to tho authority of Boo-
Totary Bristow to soli those bonds, Ho
claims the right to do ho, and is sup
ported by Senator Sherman, but there
aro other good lawyers who hold that he
has no power to sell more five per oont.s
than enough to mako up tho amount of
tho issno proscribed by law—$500,000,-
000. As thoro are only $07,000,000 of
tho amount issuod, thoro may be somo
trouble over tho matter.
TllH Hermann monument festival
commenced at Detmoid, Aug. 10, with
tho reception of Kaiser Wilholm, tho
Crown 1’rinco of Germany, and Prince
Carl, of Prussia, who were attended by
a nnmoious suite. During tho day
thoro also arrived tho Dnko of Saxo
Meuingen, Prince Frederick Foonthor,
of Bchwarzburg Rudolstadt, representa
tives bearing colors of all tho Gorman
states, and many bauds of music.
There was a grent procession all day
long of peasants, ministers and students.
Fifty thousand pooplo wero without
beds, and slept us best thoy could. Tho
streets were beautifully draped with
flags and evergreens. The collosal statue
of Hermann was unveiled befo
mense concourse of people. The Em-
* peror William and other distinguished
visitors proceeded at noon to Mount
Grothenburg, where tho monument to
Hermann is erected, when the ceremony
of unveiling was performed, in presence
of 15,000 spectators. The Superintend
ent, Gen. Hoppen, delivered a historical
addrcfs, and Privy Councillor, PreusH
made tho inaugural oration.
Mr. GEonoE Hilliard, of Boston,
gives ub words of gold in the following
extract: “ I confess,” says ho, “ that
increasing years brings with them an
increasing respect for men who do not
succeed in life, ns those words are com
monly used. Heaven has been said to
be a place for those who do not sueoeed
upon earth ; and it is surely true that
celestial graces do not best thrive and
bloom in the hot blaze of worldly pros
perity. Ill success sometimes arises
from a superabundance of qualities in
thorns elves good—from a conscience too
sensitive, a taste too fastidious, a self-
forgetfulness too romantic, a modesty
too retiring. I do not go so far as to
say with a living poet that ‘ the world
knows nothing of its greatest men,’ but
there are forms of greatness, or at least
of excellence, which ’die and make no
sign ;’ there are martyrs that miss the
palm but hot the stake ; heroes without
the laurel, and conquerers without the
crown.”

Gustave Dork.—Dore, tho world-fa

street of Paris, with a studio of one
story occupied entirely as his artist
workshop, but furnished with a plain
ness in striking oontraat with the Pom
peian magnifioenco displayed in the
London residence of his rival, Alma
Tadoma. Visitors find him busy with
his pencil or absorbed in creative rev-
er jo—wearing, instead of tho orthodox
artist robe of black velvet and tasseled
cap, a closely bnttoned-np blue coat,
with his long locks disheveled and a
chronic appearance of dust and careless
ness. When a friend remonstrated with
him* upon this, and declared that he
looked as though he lived on paint and
it had mildewed on his exterior, ho re
plied : “ Ah ! when I am at my work,
I am a mason.” Though an elegant
man of the world, ho is singularly
pretending and even child-like in

Marrying Under Falso Pretenses.
A judge in a certain county in Now
York has recently ronderod a dooision
that commends itself to the notice of
mutch-making mammas and matrimo
nial speculators of both sexes. A man
applied for a divorce from his wifo on
tlio gronud that ho had been deceived
into tho belief that she was a healthy
woman, and not the vory fragile and
neuralgic creature that she wuh. It was
proven that tho reluctant bachelor, for
whom single life had its blessing which
ho was loth to risk upon matrimonial
venture, hod been cajoled into tho belief
by tbo friends of tho young lady that
slie was a paragon of virtues and, physi
cally, a model of a Greek Venus. When
tho doctor’s bill bogan to pour in upon
the husband, ho saw that ho had made
a mistake, and he implored tho oourt to
grant him u dissolution of tho connubial
knot. The bencu sympathized with the
applicant for a divorce, but instead of
granting a formal decree of complete
sepration declared that the marriage
wus no marriugo at all, that as murringo
is a civil contract under tho law, fraud
in either party mode the covenant of no
effect. The husband was, therefore,
released absolutely, and went his way
seeking anothor mate. Now, while u
decision of this Bort is no unusual
thing, its point in this instance, is
Capt. Jinnsby would obsorve, “lies in
tho application on it.” It is a warning
to both sexes that everything is not
fair in the race for a husband or info.
If a woman beforo marriage begnilos a
man iuto the belief that her cheeks are
flushed with mounting huos of health,
when the color is artificial; that her
teeth are her own, when they are hers
only by purchase ; that her hair was not
once the crowning glory of another
beyond his kon. rfis curiosity was
fully exoitod, for ho felt that ho
lmd struck a bonanza of somo kind;
perhaps tho gravoyard of some pro-Ad-
arnio giants. Ho oontinued his explora
tions, n»d within a fow foot of, -whom
ho found tho first relic of somo departed
mountain of nuinml life, ho found a
number of other hones similar iu..pro
portions to tho first. Tho discovery
oamo to tho cars of our Woodman, who
is olivo to anything that may reveal tho
wonders of nuturo, particularly if it
oomos from our own stato, and lid
opened negotiations with the old
farmor, which resulted in his boooroiug
the owner of tho bonea tho right
to soaroh for more. Among those ho
now has aro many of the prominent
ones, which will give an idea of tho sizo
of tho animal to whioh thoy bolongod.
The shouldorblado, whioh appears us
perfect ns if it oamo from tho nuimal
yesterday, is throe and a half, feot long
by threo feet wido, and when turned up
presents a snrfaoo largo enough for an
or.linary-sizod family to flino on.
Tlio lower bono of the hind leg, join
ing tho knoo with tho foot, called by
naturalists tlio tibia, is ab^ut thirty
three inches long, about thirty-two
inches around its iurgofct cud, and is
heavy enough to load an ordinary man.
Tho parts of the backbone forming the
joints are from ton to twelve inches
across ; and one bono alone, belonging
to the foot, is twenty«oight inches
around. All tho other bones aro of like
tromendous proportions. When tlio
bones forming the pelvis aroli nro placed
in position they form niu>pouing from
two and ono-half to three feot high,
which would easily admit tho passugo of
a barrel. Tho bones aro all in a mag
nificent stato of preservation. Tho
sockets in some of them are large
onoiigh for a wash bowl, and the small
est portiou of the collection is sufficient
to convoy an idea of tho grest size of
tlio animal. It would bo difficult just
oportions, but a
comparison with bones fouud in otlior
places will enable us to judge. Iho

Last Saturday, about sundown, four
miles east of this place on Biloxi hay,
occurred a soono calculated to send a
thrill of horror through every human
heart, and to mako even tho boldest
tromblo witli four. Two littlo girls,
dunghtors of Mr. Elam R. Bluokwoll,
living on tho Blaok hay of Biloxi, whilo
bathiug in tho boy imraodiatoly in front
of his dwelling, wore attacked by
enormous alligator. Tho oldest, a girl
of about sovon years of ngo, was hold
ing tho youngest, au infant of two
years, in hor hands, and wus quietly
enjoying her bath, when suddenly hor
littlo sistor was snatched from hor and
borno swiftly from tho shoro, Torriflod
beyond measure, and unable to render
any assistance to lior unfortunate sister,
tho fatlior scomod to reulizo that tbo
doop water immediately in front of
thorn onoo reached, pursuit aud rooov-
ory would bo oliko impossible ; both,
thoroforo, rodoublod thoir oflorts, tho
ouo to reach tlio poiut, tho other to
prevent it. Iu this strugglo, although
sinking to liis waist in tlio soft mud nt
tho bottom at onob bouud, tlio fatlior
successful. Ho sucooedod iu grasp-
bis child by tlio arm about ton foot
from (loop wator. Tbo alligator, which
all tlio whilo bold tbo child's foot in its
mouth, perooiving itsolf overtaken, and
alarmed aud oonfusod by tbo liolduoss
of tho assault, roleasod its hold and
nmdo its way rapidly iuto tho doop
wator in front of it. Tho father, oom-
plotoly exhaustod, ralHod bin ohlld out
of tho water, and porcoiving that it
still lived, by doBporato offort sue-
ooedod in regaining Iho shore and de
positing tho ohiM safely iu tlio arms of
its mother. Tho littlo girl is unhurt
with tlio oxooption of a couple of bruisos
on its foot, made by tho tooth of tho

Remarkable Effects of Arctic Cold on

Lieutenant, Payer, tho Austrian orotio
oxploror, has boon laying some of tho
results of his explorations beforo tlio

ring to tho influenco of oxtromo oold on
tlio human organism, ho related that on
March 11, 1871, ho and his companions

klar glaoior, in ordor to mako observa
tions of Frnuois Josoph land. On that,
day tho oold mnrkcd 58 deg. Fall, bo

cold, M. Payor and a Tyrolese weut out
boforo suuriso to mako observations aud
sketch.
Tho sunriso was magnitticout; thoBuu

high degree of mid, by small suns, and
its light appeared moro dazzling from
tho contrast with tho oxtromo oold.
Tho travelers wore obliged to pour

would havo been as dangerous as if thoy

soon nothing but apieooof ioo remained

Tho motal of tho instruments was just
like rod hot irou to tho touch, as wore
some lookots, whioh somo of tho travel-
ors, romantically but imprudently, con
tinued to wear next tho skin.
M. Payor says that so groat an amount
cold parnlyzes tho will, and that, uu-
dor its influence, men, from tho nnstoad-
Incss of thoir gait, thoir stommoriug
talk, and tho slowness of thoir moutai
operations, Boom ns if thoy wore intoxi
cated.
Another effect of cold is a tormenting
thirst, whioh is duo to tho evaporation
of tho moisture of tho body.
It is unwholosomo to use snow tc
quonoli tho thiyst; it brings on infiam-
motion of tho throat, palate, and tonguo.
Bosidos, enough can novor bo taken to
quench tho thirst, ns a tomporatnro of

Tho group of trnvolors who travorsod
tho snow Holds woro surrounded by
thick vapors formod by tho omnuatiouB
from thoir bodies, which beoamo con
densed, notwithstanding tlio furs in
whioh tho trr.volors woro enveloped.
Thoso vapors foil to tho ground, with a
slight noise, frozen into tho form of
small crystals, and rendered tho atmos
phere tliiok, imponotrublo, and dark.
Notwithstanding tho humidity of tho
air, a disugrooablo sensation of dryness
was folt.
Bound diffused itsolf to a vory long dis
tance, au ordinary conversation oould bo

roport of guns from tho tops of high

Whou locomotion stops, tho solo of

It is somowhut curious that tlio beard
does froezo ; but this is explained from
tho air expired, falling, boing immedi
ately transformed into snow. Tho cold
causes dark beards to become lightor ;
tho secretions of tho oyes and nose at
ways increases, whilo tho formation of
tho perspiration altogether ceases.
Tho only possible protection against
tho oold is to bo vory warmly clothed,
and to endeavor as much as possible to
prevent tbo condensation of tho atmos
phere, whilo tho much vauuted plans of
anointing and blackening tho body aro
pronounced to havo no real vuluo.
