The Silver ISiil.
We would have had the Bland Sil
ver Bill as it passed the Senate in
our last issue but for Senator Hill’s
speech taking up all our space. The
Senate sat up all night and passed
the bill about 5 o’clock Saturday
morning.
The following is the full text of
the bill as amended by the Senate.
An act to authorize tiie coinage of
the standard silver dollar, to restore
its tender character.
Be it enacted, by the genate and
House of Representatives o f the
L nited States of America in Congress

What the Canadian Goad ex
ment Knows About Sitting Bull.
—With reference to the reported in
tention of Sitting Bull to cross the
frontiers into the United States, the
British Minister has informed the
Department of State that, he has
received from the Governor General
of Canada a copy of a letter fr.mi
Col. McLeod, dated Helena, Mont i"
na, January 22, stating that the last
reports from Fort Walsh give him
no reason to believe that the state of
affairs in that neighborhood had
changed, except that sixty lodges of
Sioux have crossed the line and
joined the Sittiug Bull baud. He

adds that there is no ground for tiie
newspaper reports that the Indians
are recrossing mto the United States,
and that such rumors are, doubtless,
propagated by persons who are in
terested in the establishment of a
military post in the neighborhood
ol Fort Benton.
Mischief Thou Art Afoot.
It is now painfully apparent that
I resident Hayes and his constitution
ill advisers are concocting some
scheme whereby the administration
is to come to the relief of the Louis
iana Returning Board. The plan
already, to some extent, has shaped
itself. First, public sympathy is to
be excited at the North by a vigor
orous crusade against the loyalty of
the people who are persecuting the
offenders. The character of the
presiding Judge is to be assailed,
and the movement against Wells
and his partners is to be made to ap
pear in the light of personal parses
eution rather than with a view to mete
out justice. Sherman’s public
statement yesterday, undoubtedly in
dicates this. To-day President Hayes
gave vent to his feelings equally as
postively by making the assertion
i hat he believed the Returning
Board was the victim of political
persecution, and that it was inspired
by the most deyilish element of the
democratic party in Louisiana.
This he said in the presence of Rep
resentative Loringjof Massachusetts,
and added, morever, that Governor
Nicholls did not sympathise with
those conducting the proceedings,
but in the present state of party
feeling in New Orleans was powerless
to be of any assistance. The plan of
the Administration is to loop-hole
m the law by which the case of Wells
can be removed from the State to
to the United States Court. This
much Hayes expects his law officer,
Deveus, to accomplish, and to this
end has written him a letter official
ly inviting his attention to the fact
that he does not believe the Board
can get a fair trial in the State
Court. In this case Devens is to act.
At the Cabinet meeting to-day the
subject was discussed for an hour or
more. The members decline to say j
what was done, and observe a chill-
ing reticence to newspaper report
ers. It is stated, however that
Wells, through his council, will
make and application to Judge Bil
lings, Circuit -Judge, for a change
of venue to the United States Court,
and that the application will be
granted. Meanwhile every effort
will be put forth to insure a now
trial for Anderson. The fact that
Sherman has appealed to the passions
m his mad shriek in behalf of co-con
spirators fills the more ultra repre
sentatives of the Republican party
with the liveliest satisfaction. They
say that it means, on behalf of tiie
Administration, a return to the pol
icy of sectional hate ; that it is a
kl kiij/ kb Ci T7u |J wiflx nhic - iAu
South he has been casting pearls be
fore swine.
It is learned at a late hour to
iio;lit that the discussion in the Cabi
net to-day over the Returning Board
waxed so warm that the President
was obliged to summarily end the
ihe session to prevent an open rup
ture. Key, who has hitherto been
a very passive factor in the Cabinet
discussions, took a very active and
positive part in to-day’s debate. He
took very decided ground in oppose
tion to Sherman and McCrary.
These two worthies were eager to in
terfere at once—favored putting
down what they were pleased to
term mob violence in New Orleans,
and an insurrection of the rebel spir
it, by the strong arm of the military
necessity. Key opposed this doc
trine vigorously, and asserted that
the affair was a State affair, and
chat neither the President, the Cabi
net nor Congress ought to inteifeic
with the course of the law in Louis
isiana. The discussion was very
heated, and may result in a change
in the Cabinet. Indeed, Key intima-
I red that if the old policy of Federal
interference was to be revived, lie
could not remain in the Cabinet.
On a Col Fee Plantation.
(From “A Trip to Central America;” Scribner
' tor March.)
Coffee culture is very interesting,
nd the growing crop is very beau
tiful. The trees at maturity are
from five to eight feet high; they are
well shaped and bushy, with a glos
sy dark-green foliage, and planted
eight or nine feet apart. The flow
ers are in clusters at the root of the
leaves, and are small but pure white
clliu Wl ** v *“ a
and very fragrant. The fruit has a
rich color, and resembles a small
berry or a large crauberry, it grows
ai clusters, close to the branches,
anil when it becomes a deep red is
ripe and ready to be gathered. Ihe
trees are raised from seed aud do not
Oeo-iu to yield until the third )eai,
in Central America they bear well
for twelve or fifteen years, although,
I m exceptional cases, trees twenty
years old will yield an abundance of
fruit. The tree is particularly beau
:iful when in full bloom or when la
den with ripe fruit.
VILJi #
The process of preparing coffee toi
market is as follows: the ripe berries
vhen picked are at first put throug i
a machine called the “despulpadoi,
which removes the pulp; the coffee
grains, of which there are two m
cacti berry, are still covered with il
sort of glutinous substance which ad
heres to the bean; they are now
spread out on large ‘‘patios, niade
specially for this purpose, and let t
there, being occasionally tossed
about and turned over with shovels
until they arc perfectly dry. They
are then gathered up and put into
the Tetri 11a, ’ a circular trough in
which a heavy wooden wheel, ‘ shod
with steel, is made to revolve, so as
to thoroughly break |tho husk with
out crushing the bean. The chaff
is separated srom the grain by means
of a fanning mill, and the coffee is
now thoroughly dry and clean. Af
ter this, it is the custom of some
planters to have it spread out on
Jong tables and carefully picked over
by the’lndian women and children,
all the bad beans thrown out. It
only remains then to have it put in
to bags, weighed and marked, be
fore it is ready for shipment to the
port On some of the larger planta
tions this process is greatly simpli
fied, with considerable saving in
time and labor by the use of improv
ed machinery for drying and cleaning
the coffee.
Papal Funeral—Blow Plus IX.
will be buried.
The following account of the
method of Papal funerals will give
some idea of the obsequies
attending the burial of Pope
Pius IX:
If the Pope die at the Vatican the
remains are placed in the Basilica
of St. Peter. Julius 11., who died
the 21st of February, 1515, was the
first Pope embalmed iu the modern
manner. hen the process of em
balming is completed the peniten*
ciers rcclothe the bodies in the ordi
nary dress—a white cloth cassock, a
girdle of white silk, with golden tas
sels, scarlet shoes surplice, amice,
scarlet camauro and stole.
The penitenciers expose the body,
thus dressed, upon a parade bed cov
ered with a cloth of purple and gold,
and surmounted by a baldachin; at
the corners burn gigantic candles.
The penitenciers pray, and the Swiss
form the guard up to the moment
when the body is carried to the Sis
tine Chapal. Here the penitenciers
clothe the dead Pope in all the pon
tifical garments of scarlet, as on oc
casions of great solemnity; they
put on his sandals, liis glove, the
ring, the palium and the golden
mitre.
Scarlet has not always been the
color worn. The bodies of certain
Popes have been found clothed in
violet; other, as that of Adrian IV.
(1159), have been robed in black.
The deceased Pope receives, up to
the time the coffin is closed, the ho
mage of those who pass before him.
They kneel as if he were still living,
but the soul has appeared before its
God, and the account the Pope has
to render is graver and more serious
than that of those to whom he had
been doctor and master.
The celebration of the obsequies
called Novendiale3 lias been definite
ly arranged in til ft hull Of
rio. me general character is thus:
The large door and the small door
of St. Peter’s are ornamented with
gold fringe, and surmounted with
the escutcheons of the deceased.
The body is exposed iu the middle
of the chapel of the choir upon a
catafalque, surrounded by the innu
rae.’able candles and guarded by the
Garde Noble with reversed swords.
The first day of the Novendiales
the cardinals, by invitation of the
Dean of the Sacred College, go to
St. Peter’s. They wear the cassock
and amice of violet without a mantle.
Taking off the cappa magna in the
sacrisity, they proceed one by one
into the elupel. After them come
the patriarchs, then the assisting
Archbishops and Bishop, to the
throne, the four prelates of Fiochets
ti the non-assistant Bishops, the or
ientals prelates, the auditor of rote,
ihe consistorical advocates, the mas
ter of the Sacred Palace, the gener
al and attorney general of all the re
ligions orders, finally all the eccles
iastics and laymen who have rank
in the Papal Chapel.
In entering the choir all bend the
knee,not only before the altar, but to
the right and left before the Cardi
nals, because, although yet unknown,
the future Pope is in their midst.
The first day: solemn mass Pro
Papa Defuncto is celebrated by the
Cardinal Dean. The Cardinal Bish
ops celebrated it the five following
days, the Cardinal Priest the last
three days. The chantus of the
chapel chant the mass Dies lim and
the Liberia* Costly distributions of
white wax are made to the people.
The seventh day after mass, the
five pontifical absolutions commence.
The catafalque disappears, and is
replaced by 7 a richer, nobler monu
ment, surrounded by lights, inscrip
tions, emblems and paintings com
memorative of events in the reign of
the deceased. At the four corners
are the stools of the Cardinals, who,
with the one who celebrates the mass,
must pronouce the absolutions of
the last three days.
After the holy sacrifice has been
offered the celebrating Cardinals aud
the four other, who in the mean
time have resumed the amice, the
alb, the stole, the black cope, the
miter and gloves, decend from the
altar, preceeded by the cross and
torches, and range themsencs
around the monument. Ihe one \\ ho
celebrates recites the non Intros, to
which the choir responds amen.
They chant the Suvsermte
Dei, and during the last Kyrie the
youngest of the four Cardinals swings
the incense and intones the 1 aiei
Xoster. The members o! the Sa
cred College then take a lighted.torch
from the hands of their trainbearer
and hold it while the five absolve.
The ninth and last of the
Xovendials, after mass, an orator
selected by the bacred College pro
nounces in Latin the funeral orison
of the deceased.
Iho last Libera being chanted,
the body is placed in a coffin, m
which the Major Domo incloses three
scarlet velvet purses containing med
als of gold, silver and bronze, with
an effigy of the deceased, and a
parchment upon which are recorded
the principal eyents of his reign
The coffin is then carried to the
marble sepulchre and scald up under
the door of the cupola of St. Peter's.
Pius IX. will take the place of Gre
gory XVI., and will in time be re
placed by his successor co descend to
his final resting place upon earth.
Sherman’s Mysterious Visitor.
Nashvilh American.
Now it is all fixed up, and very
neatly, too, The “veiled woman
in white,” who wanted to meet Sher
man “Alone,” and sang “Meet me
in the Willow Glen,” in his back
office, has been heard from again.
We gave the other day the New
York Times' special sensation about
the mysterious person who dropped
into John’s office and croaked “Nev
ermore!” when he told her to go.
Still her shadow kept floating on the
floor and John was not able to de
termine whether it was the devil or
a personafied Louisiana subornation,
or a meteriahzed clerical error, or
an incarnate false count, or wither
ed bankruptcy taking visible form
and shape and returned to plague
the inventor of bankruptcy by whole
sale. John thought of the homes
destroyed, of emaciated forms of
little children and hungry women
shrunken to spectres, and expected
to see this mysterious figure rise like
the gaunt figure in Shelley’s* 4 Re-
volt of Islam.” and exclaim, “I am
famine.” There tire so many things
horrid and awful which might come
to plague his soul that lie was not
improperly divided as to whether he
should melt, or freeze, or fly. The
geode which ii John Sherman an
swers to the cavity occupied by the
heart in most men contracted its
narrow stony walls. His hair stood
on end and his tongue ceased to lie
—in its usual place, and clave to the
roof off his mouth. The situation
was a grave one. The woman want
ed the clerk to retire, but John
dicliTt. What might have happened
to Sherman can never bo known. In
the language of .Eneas, the nymphs
shriek on the summit of Olympus at
the bare thought. A demon—in
disguise—he might have been whis
ked away to ‘‘fast in penal fires for
deeds clone in his nature.’’ Famine
—he might, with his poetical jus
tice, have been in a moment starved
to a dry skeleton. The devil—lie
f i • . , * i(J uuni. m
think what <_> *' r ‘
As the ciciiv, who wore, no doubt,
a cross on his seal ring, declined to
leave, nothing happened.
The Times had a fearful story of
alleged secrets, proposed blackmail
and conspiracy, to entrap the unso
phisticated and guileless John. Now,
however, the Times has anew story.
The woman has written to John,
declaring that she has no secret,
knows of none, never had any, and
has no claims on John Sherman.
She only wanted an office for her
husband, ‘‘who may”—the Times
naively adds— ‘ prove to be a very
deserving person.” The husband
will get the office. The btate secrets
are sunk in r. denial, signed by the
person Avlio created such conster
nation There was nothing in it at
all. Grown men get scared at noth
ing, of course. A little office wash
es of this deed, and it is well to
say beforehand, that the fellow is a
deserving person.
Look Out lor Counterfeits.
The Treasurer of the United States
furnishes the following description
of the recent counterfeit five dollar
notes of the Central, German and
Union National Banks of Chicago
and Farmers National Bank of \ ir~
ginia, Illinois.
° rn i , 4-aa Pai ta nVP 110 W Jill
~ These counterfeits are now all
made from the same plate as the
“Traders,” of Chicago, are printed
in this way. The counterfeiter print
ed a number of notes from the lia
dor's” plate, leaving the note
National Bank of -Illinois, and
as a number of these notes are still
in the hands of the counterfeiters,
they are enabled by having the title
printed in to make anew counter
feit. This is the way the fives on
un the Aurora, Canton, Paxton
and Penn banks are now made.
All genuine five dollar notes on the
Central and German National Banks
of Chicago have the name of John
Allison as Register, while the coun
terfeits have the name of S, B. Colby
as Register. .
AH genuine fives on the union
National Bank of Chicago are dated
Jan. 14, 1805; the counterfeits are
dated May 10, 18G5.
All genuine fives on the Fanner s
National Bank of Virginia, 111., are
dated September 1, 1865; the coun
terfeits are dated May 10, I&GS.
The public will do ivell to exam
ine carefully all fives on Illinois
• banks, as some of these unfurnished
bills are sail in existence and can be
readily changed to anew counter
feit. * Bankers noticing any new
counterfeits will confer a faun b)
, reporting the fact at once that nee-
essary information for their detection
may be furnished immediately upon
their appearance.
Pillaging Propensities.
The remarkable difference in the
pillaging propensities of the two ar
mies may be accounted for on tiie
ground first, that the Federal army
was in an enemy’s country, and all
tilings were considered legitimate
game and little inquiry made whether
or not the owners were Union people;
second, the foreign element in the
Federal army was' very large, and
with them was the riff-raff from the
large cities, who entered the army
more from motives of pillage than
patriotism. Regiments raised in cit
ies were more troublesome as pillagers
than those from the rural districts.
! In the Southern army these con di
tions did not exist. There were no
enlistments in that army prompted
by motives of invasion and pillage,
and their were few large cities to
send out “wharf rats,” roughs and
pickpockets into the army. Besides
the foreign element in the Southern
army was very small. And for this
reason 1 doubt if the whole Southern
army had been poured into the North
that the robbery and pillage would
have been as great as that which
marked the course of the Federal ar
my in the South. The personel of
the two armies differed widely in
the points above mentioned. The
pillagers and robbers in the Federal
army did not spare the Union people.
The first who committed several out
rageous robberies, and it happened
tlut the victims in every instance
were*Union men. This had an un-
happy effect, one of the victims at
least thereafter transferring his sym
pathies from the Union side to the
Confederate on account of bis ill
treatment. The outrages, robberies
and pillaging which took place wher
ever the Union army moved is trace
able to a small minority of the sol
diers, and almost invariably to the
foreign element among them enlist
ed in the large cities. ' The officers
used to say in explanation that every
lloek had black sheep, and that a
thousand men, picked up promis
consly, would always contain a few
desperate characters who went in
Horn motives of plunder. This is
no doubt true, but the bummer ele
ment in ti e Union army was certain
ly larger than iu the oGier. I knew
regiments of Southern troops to en
oamp around premises for weeks and
not even rob a lieu roost, but when
the other sine came then chickens
and all other movable property, ani
mate and inanimate, had to be under
the eye of its owner, and often this
did not protect it.
The Confederates usually paid for
what they took lor the use of the ar
my in Confederate money. Indeed,
payment was the rule seldom violat
ed. Ihe Federals, when upon or
ganized foraging expeditions, usually

pousible soldiers, without an officer,
that the people mostly suffered. Of
ten in our neighborhood would they
kill a fine cow for instance, take a
quarter, or what they could conveni
ently carry, and leave the rest to
waste. In fact, every living animal
lit for food was in constant danger
from irresponsible forragers and
stragglers. \\ lien men are hungry
they must eat, and cat they would,
when they could get anjthing,
whether Union or secession: but the
union soldiers were by far the most
inveterate, wasteful and reckless for
ageis. The farmers and country pco
pie who traded in tiie camps of both
armies had to skin their eyes when
in the camp of the “Yankees,” as

Mr. Nathan Appleton, a member
of the Franco-American union,
which has charge of the colossal sta
tue of ‘-Liberty Jinlightning the
World,” by Bartholdi, for the harbor
of New York, has asked the Post
master General that postmasters be
authorized to receiye and hold sub
scriptions for the pedestal which is
to be furnished by the American
people. The Postmaster General re
plies that the committee are at lib
erty to make such au arrangement.
The standard remedies for all diseases
of tlie lungs are Sciienck’s Pulmonic
Syrup, Sciienck’s Mandrake Pills, and
if taken before the lungs are destroyed
they effecta speedy cure- To these med
icines Dr. J. H. Schenck, at Philadelphia
owes his unrivalled success in the treatment
of pulmonary diseases. The Pulmonic
Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by an easy ex
pectoration, and the patient has relief from
the prostrating cough. The mandrake
Pills must be freely used to cleanse and
stimulate the stomach and liver; they re
move all obstructions, relax the gall blad
der and start the bile freely and the liver
is soon relieved. It assists the digestion
by toning up the stomach to a healthy con
dition. So that the IjoJ and the 1 ultnon*
ic Svrup will make good blood; then the
lungs heal, and the patient will surely get
I well if care is taken to avoid fresh cold.
