The . partmalar'tabsnrdity which he under- j - tookjto expose by that motion was t.H a.whittmprewgroieeqii" thin tho, at- tenipti now making in Congress to en act that ninety cent's worth of silver shill he.a dollar, Waiving the scien- lilio obicctions to a double standard of -ft' w value, iris obvious that the idea of two standards is pieposterotis unless, at the lime ihey are established, they are at par or very neirly at par with each diher. If in a law fixing the standard bf weights and mejsUTos it sbonld be I gravely enacted ordaining thatiseven pintsrand eiht pints shall he- equally a galp'r)or.ihat tJi'irty inchts and tjnr tyix shall be equally a yard, the. law. m iking power would be hooted for jts conlusiug JtSance of cqininou sense.

Tho silver quotation ca bled from London yesteiday eho)ved thai tho present pijo of silver, as measured by gold, is 5.TJ pencil per ounce.

It would be more cou tisil'iit to rodjice tho gold stan Ian ten per ceul.. This, indeed, would be equtlly dishoilest toward the public creditors, but it wou'd avoid tho coil-, fusion ami absurdity ol two widely dit lertnt standards. Is there nny body hrafcen enough to advocate a dobise- ment of the gold standard by coining eagles cont-iinjng only.ninu dollars' worth of gold and making them a full tender lor the discharge of gold duots contracted under the present elandard? But there is precisely tho same dis honesty, tho same Iraud, in authorizing a noli! debt ol a thousand dollars to be di-charged by a tender of nine hun dred dollars' worth of silver.

Chambers' Journal. Hewitt is the richest man in the National House ot Representatives. ,. Workmen on the ComstocJt. Thb. Virginia J2iterpr'so saye: We beliee it to be right and that we are doing ithe fnimis and other working iios by warning thitn agiinst rushing hither in the expectarion of obtaining employment, expetidrng- tfi so doimr the last cent (in the majority ol cases) of their slender means. The advance in price of ,jthe leading mining stocks which followed the new ore develop mem on the l,!)00font level of the, Ophir mine would seem to have turn ed hithcrward all the wandering uu decided laboring men of the Pacific coast. Nolini; tho rise of stock:?, and the corresponding improvements in limes along the Coin stock, idrii in search of ihe Comsloc !H1 tO fllld employ Lc ivatcrally conclud. ed iliac ild he an opportunity Iqr them to Uud w'ork in the mines, milL', or on ihe surface, in some of tho towns, asreat numbers have lound to their sorrow and their cost. There aro miners enough and work men enough of every kind belonging here on the comstpek lode to do twice there is at present to ha doue in any bianch ot busiuess. The sooner this is understood ahroadftho better the 'betted lor us who are here .J find that they have made their journey and ex pended their little meaus for naught. Let persons at a distance call lo mind the lines liny have seen formed in front of pest offices in early dajs, and. thev Will have som"3 idea oKhe chance there is of getting woikj1 here whin we tell them that at every mine, and mill in tho country there aro men enough waiting for w ork to lorra a line from 10 to ,40 rods in length. Tntse lines are not actually formed but the condition lo aflairs here h sub manually ihornrnuas lar as outsiders are concerned, as though '.hey were. The nun are here, waiting tnd watch ing. As fast us ouo man Meps out of a mine, oris killed, another steps in takes ii place, provided men ,aro larfen at all. For a considerable length of time puny more men have been drafted out ot the minus than Ui6 been taken in. All these aro low hero wailing and hopiP0: that something may occur jhat will cause additional forces ol h'oikiiigmcn to be put to work in tbe principal miiu-s. What chance, then, lor newcomers, when so tnauy old min ers aro out of em ploy ment? k' It in y nv0t bo generallytiown to the outside world, nut owing to the scarcity of work hetc at this time there are many lathilies that an- being con stantly assisted by ourlveiiet Commiti tee. Women and child n n, and not un freql ;ntly men aro seen to come"ofl bliiijr in order to gel what lood may happen lo be Ml in their lunch pails. Mm coining lure now will not only obtain no imployinent, but ill pro-jA.-d thvy conic without means to get awxjr swell tits ranks ol the destitute ami add,, lo the distress ol those who are already (he recipiuits of charity. What has been said .above in regard to the prePf.nl opportunism of obtain ing employment in minis and mills apply equally well to ajl other indus tries' and brandies ot business. Our c n p liters had no woik worthy of the name lastsummei; tho painters found next to nothing lo do; blacksmiths and mechanics of all kinds were out ot unployment, and boats ot wotkmtiiiii all lluse trades arc still searching lor work. Jlleu who want work will do better in the small mountain towns of Galr forma,' or on the ranches ot lhal State, this winter, than by coining here. T .ere they will at leisl be sure of get ling something to cat, even though the wages they recievo be small. Let men who are out of work go to the ranches and cplit rails, dig ditches, herd stock do anything rather than to swell tho army of the idle. A young lover wants lo know how high stripi'k stoikinga come. High stuped stocking conio just like the other kind. They are woven.

The Danube Ri er has figured largely in history lor 2,000 years, uud it again bacomes tha object to which the eyes of the whole world has turned. It furnished a high-way for the Turks in ihe six teenth centuries lo penetrato Europo a hrjis Vinnnn. iml in tho Crusades it becimo an outlet for the religious en-, thusiam ot Europe to flow to the Holy Land. The D iiuhe, from its sourco ia Bulen to. the Black Sea, is 1,820 miles long, and it drains, with its tributar ies, an area of over 300,000 square miles. It passes throug Bava.'ia Aus tria, Hungary, and Servia, to the Car-' pit hun Mountains, whero it sepafatoi Ivoum-iuii and Uulgaria, ocd passes into tho Black Sea, through several mouths, the principal one beiug that of .Siiliua. ThoDinubeis navigable for steamers as far as Ulm, in Bavaria. At.NicnpoIis, in the fourteenth cebtu ty, 100,000 Christians wero driven by the Turks into the Danube, and in tho fifteenth century 40,000 Turks wera slain on its shores at (ho siege of Bel grade. rtg , The King ol Texas cattle ,king is probably Captain Richard King, vVho has a firm about thirty miles from Corpus Cristi, in that state. A local journal speaking of his great transac tions in live stock says: Tn March last he sold to one person from Kan sas 20,000 head of horned cattle (all out of his own stock) for tho sum. ot $327,500 deliverable in Ilaya City KaiS S38, 100,000 paid down in cash and tho balance on delivery, nnd in April fia sent oQ the slock in thirteen droves, wLieh arrived all safo. To be certain to havo tho nequiaito number to bo de livered he added 5,000 extra head, and still has lelt sonic 00,000 head, besider 25,000 head ot sheep and 7,000 or 8,- 000 head of horses and mu'e stock', He has romo 60,000 sores cf land tin der fencing in 90,000 acres more, and still has 140,000 acres in and about tho same tract. It look 700 men to driva , this lot of stock, and upward ot 50,000 for tho outfit. New SewIng Machine Motob. Wo road in Eastern exchanges of 4 new sewing machine motor, wliioii u slid to bo "set cheap nnd so simplo that it seems as if it' would at onco coma iulo very geniral use. The motor consists ol a tabular boiler. 18 inches high, incased in cibinet work, throngh which steam is engendered by a small pallor lamp being placed underneath it. The apparatus which connects it with tho sewing machine is very sim ple, and consists ot only three pieces. It takes only a lew minutes to get up steam, and the speed is regulated by a littlo ppring. The invention ia coriJ pict, neitand and clean, i great sav ior of health nnd, strength, and in a'p peirance resembles a little psrIor stove incased in cibinet work. The in ventor of the mach,ina is Mr. T. Wood, 01 Newark. N. J." Pick up th tools and put thorn un dei cover.
