Twenty-five thousand people were off ndy Hook to-day to see the third iace Ltween America’s Defender and the ritish yacht Valkyrie, and a more badly appointed crowd has never been seen, [fust after the yachts ciossed the line a t boat gets in the way of the Valky- $ and that boat refuses to sail and there no race. Early this morning the racers made leir way down to the Hook from Bay ■ids*', tite-winged and beautiful, hey rcleU in great rings about the gbtaliip until the signal went up for course, and then the skippers took a Jgbt rip of the wheel. They warneu- vered swiftly for position after the pre paratory gun had Wen fired. The tug boats and excursion steamers were crowding around just before the itart, and as the yachts crossed the line I should be changed so as to have the gov ernment exercise the option of paying i out either gold cr silver or both in the the Valkyrie. That boat tvaa compelled j re(Ielnption of ol(1 United States notes turn out of her course to avoid col- ftn a treasury notes of 1890 and thereby lision with the pilot, and as she had lost ! prevent the constant depletion of our early a minute she refused to run the j reserve and forced issues of bonds to keep it replenished, or if this would have the effect of sending gold to a 1 premium and producing panic, then pro- j vison should be made for the retirement I of these notes. The recommendations | of the secretary of the treasury in his I report to congress made Dec. 3,1 $94, for I currency reform, divorcing the govern- j ment from the banking business and j providing a safe and elastic National ; and State bank currency, or some such j wise monetary system, as the plan sug- 1 gested, should be adopted. .[ True bimetallism with gold and silver J coin maintained on a parity in debt pav- gr,or the Defender may refuse to ac- j ing and purchasing power ftnd lhe bitsia cept this race. j of our paper currency should be maintain- Anyway it may be, the friends ot tbe j eil.

J. L. Sweat o» nance. Waycross, Ga., Sepu 1895. Judge A. P. Pcrhain, Editor Herald: My Dear Sir.—Complying with your request lor an article this week on finance I respectfully submit the following: From considerable research and study of the financial question, I am persuaded tliat if our statesmen and politicianswould cease their theorizing, wrangling and abuse aud apply themselves in a proper patriotic spirit to the solution of what ever difficulties exist, upon plain, practi cal, business principles, the condition of affairs could be improved and the coun try would be better off. Ours is a com plex system of finance of gold, silver and paper money, which needs to be revised and improved and not destroyed. We should avoid gold mouomet- alism, silver monometalism, and a depreciated paper currency. Free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver at any ratio, under present con ditions is not desirable because it would have tbe effect practically^ bring us to a silver basis by driving gold out of cir culation, thereby largely contracting the currency; and to close our mints to the further coinage of silver and descredit that already coined by its improper treatment ns redemption money would in effect produce gold monometalism and cause a reduction of tbe circulating me dium. The .policy of the treasury department beat the Valkyrie any day and in tind f weather. Eyes Examined Free. For four days, commencing Wednes- i day, Sept, 11, and ending Saturday night, September 14th, Dr. G. M. Schwab, the j well known eye specialist, of Savannah, j Ga., can be consulted on all diseases of j the eyes, free of charge, at the Southern j Hotel. We cure headacbe, sore eyes, weak eyes, pain over the eyes and granu lated eyelids, with scientific lenses. All thosfe who suffer with their eyes will do well to call at ouce. Spectacles and eye glasses to suit all impaired eyesight. APPENDICITIS. Dr. Hunter McGuire, who used to be Stonewall Jackson’s physician, and who is ex.president of the American Medical Association, read at the recent meeting of the Virginia Medical Association a paper calculated to explode some popu- lar ideas about that dreadful “new” dis ease, appendicitis. He said that he had never, in all of the operations he had gregate and per capita in the principal countries of the world, I find citing only have a much larger stock of money for its development and upbuilding and to meet the demands of its constantly in creasing domestic and foreign trade, and an increase per capita generally through out the nations would doubtless be pro ductive of great good. The estimated production of gold and silver in the United States during the calendar year 1893 was according to the coinage value, gold $35,955,000; silver $77,570,00; the world’s production of the precious metals for the same period being estimated at $157,228,100 in gold and $209,105,000 in silver. The commercial ratio of silver to gold for a period of nearly three hundred years up to a few years ago was approximately about -1 to 15, but in recent years there has* been a steady decline until now it is about 1 to 32. Whatever may have caused this decline, whether from demonetization . so termed, by various nations, overproduction and the lessen ing of the cost thereof, or other causes, the fact nevertheless exists, and whether free coinage by the United States or all of the leading commercial nations would have the effect of restoring it to its for mer commercial value is of course prob lematical, but it stands to reason that iu order to do this, every cause contributing to produce the result would have to be removed. But regardless of the reduced commercial value of silver bullion, it appears that most of the leading nations having wealth, strength aud large reve nues, with either a gold or gold and sil ver monetary system, without any in crease of the legal ratios, maintain silver in their monetary systems on a parity with gold bv making it a legal tender, ei ther in a limited or unlimited way in the payment of all public and private dues and this it should be understood is done by limited coinage, and in many coun tries by making it the only money of small denominations. Great Britain, with $550,000,090 in gold and only $112,000,000 in*silver, none of which is full legal tender, au thorizes the issue of no note of a less de nomination than five pounds, equal to $24.33. France, Belgium and Italy, with $970,000,000 in gold and $518,300,000 in Jegal tender silver, issue no notes of a less denomination than twenty francs, or $3. SO. Holland, with $27,000,000 in gold and $53,400,000 in legal tender silver, issues no paper below twenty-five florins, equal to $10.05. tfpain, with $40,000,000 in gold and Bland-Allison Act, or limited to the product of our own American mines, • continuing tbe full legal tender quality j of standard dollars in the payment of; all debts public and private, except 1 when otherwise specified in the contract between thejparties, and subsidiary silver coins a legal tender in the payment of all debts not exceeding ten dollars in amount, as now, so that with the contin ued unlimited coidage of gold and a safe elastic paper currency, we would have ample money at all times, sound and stable, to meet the ever increasing de mands of our great country.

These statements are gleaned from the last annual report of the secretary of the treasury, who recommends that in order to provide a wider field for the active circulation of our silver coins and certi ficates which now constitute about one- fifth of the entire volume of our currency and to protect the treasury as far as pos sible against the accumulation of certifi cates returned in payment of customs and other dues to the government, that no national bank note of a less denomi- A Matter of tveeplng Young. One notices considerable discussion of late over the question of how certain ladies, uotably Patti, Ellen Terry, Mine. Bernhardt and Mod jeska, all of them 50 or past, are still able to charm tho mul- titude today to all the height of enthu siasm they called out 30 years ago. Modjeska r.ncl Ellen Terry are the sweetest Juliets on tho stage, and Mme. Patti’s glorious voice still draws greater audiences than any other singer, living or dead, ever did. One writer explains it by saying that actresses are young because their lives are free from monotony and potty wor ries. In so far as monotony is concerned ho is right. Nothing is so deadly and aging to the human mind and body as falling into a of rut aud’Staying there till yon dry np and blow away. But as to the petty worries, if act resses do net have more of them than even other women do, then it is merely because actresses will not have them. Bernhardt declares that she keeps her self young by never fretting over any thing either that she can or cannot help. In other words, youth and health and strength are preserved largely by exer cise of the will power—the power of mind over body. This seems to be the view of the case taken by Mrs. Eleanor Kirk in a little volume entitled “Perpetual Youth.” In that bock, indeed, Mrs. Kirk claims it, and claims if boldly, that there is no need of growing old at all. She affirms that we can absolutely rid our minds of fear and worry of all kinds and hold ourselves in a tranquil, happy frame of mind. If we resolutely hold fast to the good in onr minds, “thinking right thoughts,” the good will come tons, and we shall always stay young. This is a very happifying doctrino. Perhaps it is what has enabled the ladies above mentioned to retain their youth.

An unusual celebration, named by the German papers a “Negerfest,” took place in Berlin recently. It was noth ing less than a reunion of the colored people of Germany. Most of these ap pear to have gone from tbe United States, judging from the ceremonies that ruled the feast. By far the most imposing event was one which the Ber lin journals call a “Kuchenreigeu,” and which went off to the accompaniment of slow music. Here in America wo call it a cake walk. This tickled the Germans immensely. There were nearly 200 negroes at the feast. Thero was some speaking too, chiefly in English, and it must be re corded that the black orators gavo their German brethren an amount of taffy that could not be surpassed even at a banquet on ship board between officers and visitors of rival nations. They called history to witness how the Ger mans of North America had permitted the black brethren to take part- in their festivities, just as the black brethren here and now in Germany were permit ting tho natives to participate in their race feast.
