The plea adva»eed then for that measure and for its le-tentjfcu now, that the modern production has Ijeen so excessive a» to overwhelm the demand and the. neeessities for -HP»r- reney purposes', is not burne ou|'by facts, and It will be a still weaker ar­ gument when the withdrawal of* #ihe paper fractional currency and small bank notes *hall have Called o\it of strictly commercial markets, in siihrti- tutiou, a very large amcrtint- «f Ji|ils precious-metal.. « ' :?l4 The discussion of the silver question, and .the fluctuating value of bothgfld and silver in the market lately, halve brought out $<>me interesting faicts with regard to the production of these metals and the amount of them now; in the country as specie. Prof. RaynitAd, commissioner of mining, and Dr. fJn- do'rman, director of the mint. Iwve glveu the most reliable information According to Pr. Linderman's st#|e- ineut and estimate tIke production In all the states and territories in 1S7H .of gold and silver was: Of gold, 346,8a0|jk)0 and of silver ;S38i><H),000 total. #85, 000. This was au increase ol product, for 1870 over that of 1875 of n $8.000,000.-and over that of 187 $1*3,000,000. The production of silver is no abundant as those who are oppose silver as a legal standard attempt make out, and the available production in the future is much more liuuted tfcan manv suppose. The-'gold production lias really been greater in value dutiltg the last few vears than that of silver. The total production of the inineif of the United States since 1800 was,?§of gold, #700.777,092. ftndof *Uver,ft2Sajt)4i,- 627; total, #1 ,( 50,031.619. . $ Our exports of gold and silver ^in and bullion, less than the amount -Im­ ported since 1800, amounted tt> f$06,- 169.9S4. - - The balance remaining in tlie country then, from this production, is $150^1.- <535--that is, gold, #04,090,878, and eilyer •bo.i70.<5^ Suppose thai #5.000,000 a year--jthat is, #2,0v!0,000 gold, #3,000,<X)0 silver- have gone into manufactures 4fuce 1800. we should have a slock on h:jiit3 of ijsCMfli have been in tin#, country the stock vv^s not verv large in that j ear, and tii« played H'itli the specie that was in the country, it is reasonable to suppose the above amount is about the actual stock of specie on hand. A curious fact, however, which slfoiild encourage us to look forward to specie payments, and which accounts for tlie deeliue in the gold premium, is the very large excess of production last ycifr pver the exportation. That is we produced «v«r $85,000,000 and exported a little less than $50.000,opo. Besides, we iinput ted considerable nrore foreign specie and bullion than formerly.

Mr. John Stevens, of Ilobokcn. a young millioiraire, had on his jaw at birth a mother's mark of brown color about an inch Mjuarie^ it grew until in Jus 17th year jt had spread en his neck and at the right side of his head, increasing gretftly the size of the ear. It also became covered with hair. During his travels abroad large sums were offered tq Xelaiion and other distinguished surgeons of Europe, in case they removed the ob­ jectionable ffesli without causing death No physician daretj undertake the task. On the young man's return, Dr Will^rd Parker and his associate, Dr. Stimson, of Pliilauel^liia, \yerp appealed to, and the latter removed the lower part of the flesh. Some months afterward he cut awr.y th^t >vh(ch hung from his head. The patient at both perils >vas in a priticaj fonditiou, but has since been iu excellent health, and much prefers the scar-that r(u«a'"s to what formerly existed. The scientific title of the protruberatice is •'molusemn tibrosiiniV If consisted of anil nerves, wi^hall the organs greatly en­ larged. fiaT A Nevada man, being command­ ed by a robber to throw up his hands, obeyed promptly, and co.npeajed his money in them. The. jobber searched his clothing, but not 'tis hands, and so got net bpoty. Western paper, in describing an accident recently, says, with mupli candor: "Dr. Jcuies wascal led, and un­ der h^s prompt and skillful treati^c^t the young roan died on Wednesday night." Gen. Itorlbut on the Political and Finan­ cial Condition tf the {Mate of LaaMm. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25th.~Gen, Stephen A. Ilurlbut, a member of tUe Louisiana Committee, in speaking since his return ©f the causes of trou­ ble in that State, remarked that New Orleans bears about the same relation to Louisiana that Paris does to France. The eftices, within the city especially, are enormously profitable, outrageously so. in consequence of the immense fees which accrue to those who hold them. The fees of the Sheriff of Orleans eotin- ty, are said to be about $90,000 annually those of tl»e liecorder of Mortgages about $60,000, and those of'other offi­ cers iu like proportion. ihe contest seems to him to be principally far the cputrol of the offices of the city and of the State. A majority of the citizens would be contented with any govern­ ment that would insure peace and se­ curity of person and property, and he has no doubt that many of the proper­ ty holders and business men of' the State would welcome a military gov­ ernment if it only put an end to this perpetual scramble fos office, which is one of the principally causes of the illegal, desperate, and revolutionary acts resorted to. Gen. Ilurlbut says the state of affairs in Louisiana is such that it is almost impossible to make a law-abiding citi­ zen ©f the North understand the actual social condition of the people. He hold that there is no reason, financially or otherwise, for the revolutionary processes to which that State is con­ stantly subjected. Louisiana has pro­ duced this year about $55,000,000 worth of sugar, cotton, rice, anil other coinrno* dities, and by the use of free labor, the cost of production this year does not exceed $20,000,000. The people ©f that State consequently divide, as their pro- lit of their labor for the year, about $35,000,000. The great majorilty of the people eutside of the city of New Or­ leans are, as a result, contented and prosperous. THE MAN WHO DON'T HKAD. The man who don't read is always prating about how thing^'used to was" He is a knowing fellow, full bf worn out truism, lie is a rich and inex­ haustible mine for every sharper who travels on his wits, selling poor clothes at high prices, or an expired patent right. TI)P man who don't read has a very large disgust , for "«e^ fa»gh>d things" and believes iu his children getting along as he did and boasts that he never we;it to school#but two quar­ ters.' We like this sort of men, there ought to be one in every community, just for the parents who do believe they do owe something more to Me 'r families am] themselves, than to be mere dull, brutal machines. The man who don't read usually has a mission-- it is to grow corn anil pork, and pay taxes, or work through the week at his bench or forge as a mechanic. Ills home is a place to eat anil sleep, his life around of , drudgery, a struggle only for bread and butter. The man who does not read falls be­ hind the age in which he liveSyhe drop* into the narrow grove.of his personal ohservat ion, and declares the progress around him to be departures from the virtues'and goodness of bygone times. Every day has a superstitious sign, every change of the moon, every sud­ den varji.tion in the weatiier fills him with prophecy which bodes everybody ill-luck. The man who does pot, read misjudges tlie common natural laws of matter, the easily explained changes of vegetable and animal life qre subjects for superstitions dread and trouble. The great progress of the tvorld in literature science and arts, the news of the day at home and abroad are blanks to thp man who does not retail.--I A PLEASANT LAWSUIT IN MAINE.--A pase was recently tried in Norridge- wock, Maine, involving the sum o( forty cents. The parties are Summer Smith, o( Fairfield, and James Rowe, of Smithfield. The case was originally brought before a justice, a verdict given for the defendant, Rowe, from which the plaintiff appealed, and the case went to court whence it was re­ ferred. The claim grew out of a trans­ action between the parties, in which Smith gaj's that he by mistake paid Rowe a lifty-cent scrip for a ten cent The entire cos. will prohi^bly amount to $75 or more. The award be­ ing returnable to. oourt, is not yet public. |@*Howe's Great London Circus and Mauagerie has come to grief while traveling down South. A«STew York printer had a bill of $32 t000 against the concern, and becoming somewhat alar­ med about the pay, as well he might be, for a bill of that size, made a levy upon it while performing in Georgia town. Other creditors soon pounced upon the great show, and it must no\y come under the sheriff's hammer. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. WASHIH«TON. D. C.. Jan. mil, 18IT. The great events of the past week among the i*ich and fashionable of this ciry have been the celebration of two anniversariese--owe taken place in Ma­ sonic Temple, under the auspices of tbe Burus Club, in commemoration of the one hundred and eighteenth anni­ versary of the birth-day of Robert Burns; and the other being a grand party given by Madame Mantilla, wife of the Spanish minister, in honor of, and to celebrate, the second anniver­ sary of"the ascension of King Alphousa to the tKrone of Spain. These festivi­ ties were both attended by the efite of the District, the President and Cel. Fred Grant being present at the far­ mer, and with Secretary Cameron, Gen. Babcock and other distinguished guests, partaking of a delightful supper at the close of the entertainment which consisted of speeches,sentiments, songs and dances all rendered a la Scottishe, The music was wholly that of pipes the pipers all In fuU Highland costume, Several of the ladies appeared in Scottish dress and many others wore rosettes and^sashes of Scotch plaid in favor of the oocasion. At Madame Mantilla's there was" no music nor dancing nor entertainment of any kind,excepting refreshments of course, si in ply conversation and a promenading through the beautifully arranged rooms. The affair was a unique one on this account aa well as for the artistic adornment of the house. The profusion of flowers, converting shelves, clubs anil mantles into perfect banks of bloom, was quite remarkable for this season of the year, and ilie ef­ fect correspondingly fine. The result produced by blossoming Camilia, Lemon and Orange trees, arranged about the rooms, was heightened and beautified by the soft and mellow light from numerous wax candles that par­ tially relieved the glare of the gas­ light. The great events of the week among the sick and poor and miserable have been the establishment of several soup- houses and the daily distribution of above a thousand loaves of brea^ among them. The suffering in this class has been intense during the^a^jt few weeks, partly because of tlig tin- usual severity of the weather and part­ ly because of the hard times. Many are too sick to get out to ask for help and until lately medical aid has #»t been freely given so they could uot re­ sort to that. Things are on the mend­ ing hand now, thanks tjo private chari­ ty and a $20,000 appropriation by the Government which is now being dis­ cussed. It is pitiful in the extreme to, see the hundreds of want, worn, hag­ gard quil hungry faces th^t crowd around the souprhoiises during the hours of distribution. A loaf of bread is given to each quar» of soup that is tajien tpvay and twe slices wjth each bowlful that Is eaten on thespot. One of these houses issued over a thousand dinners Saturday. Those whp bring cups, cans or other vessels are allowed to lake them hoin.£ tilled with soup and others are furnished with bowls and spoons and placcs at a fable to eat their allowance. For three hours dai­ ly this table, which will accommodate forty persons, is full, the places being filled as fast as Vacated by eager «*nd hungry mortals. '4'he citizens pf the District have been a long time in awak­ ening to the reality pf the suffering around them but once ^wakened,every eflor^. Is being made for its relief. Hardly a night novy passes but sees eu- tertsinmeius for some charjtable socir ety. The guests qt the leading hotejs of Washington are giving pound pal* ties, clubs audliterary societies getting up readings, ljaasquerades, dramatip en­ tertainments, concerts and sq QU. Government employes are subscribing certain amounts for the puvphftse #nd distribution of bread, etc. The great political excitement is, of cpurse, over the Compromise or Elec­ toral Bill which the president will either veto or sign to-day. The Sen­ ate struggled over it pna nlglit, the House wrangled over it all another night, both bodies passed it, Speaker Randall and Vice President Ferry signed it, and still the thing regains to be settled. There is little tlnubt, however, that the bill will become a law toTday or to-morrow aqi| in three days more the suspense will bp over and the country will ki^pw who (s to be its next President. MAXWELL. NO. 28. Boys Clothing, at F, G.Mayes. AilVE V* A The body of a man who went to Call* fornia to regain his health was recently shipped in a metalic coffin for his fen- mer home iu the Eaal. When the Ceu- t^al Pacific arrived at Otgden Junction, the corps was consigned to the Union Paeifio Express Company and placed under charge of Express Messenger Frank Burgess. While th» train was in the western part of bra^kn. Mr. Burgess heard sounds Aom the cotftn tltat led Uim to believe that the dead man had come to life. Is (Was in the night, and he heard Dbp Sounds a^he lay dozing and half asleep Again the sound was heard, and tUe- at* tentlon of the messenger was riveted to the coffin, and the hotrible possibil-, ity that the dead might be alive tlirust( itself upou the messenger' so forcibly that he called the attention of other employes to it, but after listening ft moment, they merely laughed at him. The convictions of the express m«s|eu- ger, however, were so strong that he had heard moans from the vofiiu that he had the case onened when the train made Its next halt. The weather waa very cold, and upou the inside of the glass piate of the coffin there had accu­ mulated a thin film of frost, euoh as mtght have been deposited by tha breath of a person confined In such narrow quarters. The face was also drawn up against the glass plate, and other disturbances indicated life, Whila Burgess li;ul ne doubt that the mau, though dead then, had been alive iu the coffin, the other employes explained the accumulation of frost en (he glas? as the natural exhalations of the dead body, and the disturbgitpeq of the corpse as due to the moveuieUls in the shipping. A private dispatch receive* from Chicago last night, says that whei* the coffin arrived at its destination aud was opened, unmistakable proofs of tha terrible truth was discovered. Tha hands were clinched; the lips bitten, aud the mouth filled with hloody froth, The man had been alive, and it washla moaning tii^t bad beeg heard but not recognized. John Bqdtin'i Remark* to Qlrle About Drew Dress as plainly as your parents will allow yeu. but in briirht pojors (if they become you) awl in the best materials, that is tos»y, in those which will wear the longest. When you are really i® want of a new dress buy it (or make It) in fhe fashion, but never quit an ei0%^ one merely because it has became un» fashionable. And if the fashion be costly you must nat fallow it. You may wear broad stripes or narrow, bright colors or dark, short petticoats or long (in moderation,) as the publig wish you; but you must uot buy ye?da of pseless stuff' to make a knot or . flounce of, nor drag them behind you over the. ground, and your walking ijrisss must never touch the ground at all. I hayelost much of tha faith f. once had in the common s*usa, and eveu in the persoual delicacy, pf tha present race of average English women by seeing how they will allow their dresses t o sweep the streets, if it is tha fashion to be scavengers. Learn dress* making yourself, with pains and time# and use a part «f every day lu noedla--gffi work, making as pretty dresses as yet^ / pan for poop people who have not the ^ time qr tas£e to make them nicely for themselves. You are to show them i«* your QWU wearing what is n\°*t right and graceful, and help tbem to choosa what will be pettiest an4 ifte^ bec9uV» iqg in their own station. An Irish hodrf^rrier, at work en a building,-was complaining of his hard lot; said he, uJf I thought I'd have to carry a hod in Heaven, I'd tie a stone around my neck, and jump into the middle of the say t itqd stay there as long as I-lived!"
