All exchange gives the following tan reason* why people should spend their money at home. They are forcible and well put. 1st. It !r your Iwbm; yon cannot imprare It much by taking tnouey away to »ptnd or Invett. 2nd. There Is no way of Improving a place s* much as by encouraging food merchant*, good schools, amlgoml people to Mettle among you and this cannot be done unless you spend your moneY at home. 3rd. Spend your money, it home, because there Is where you geuerally get it. It h your duty. 4th. Speud your money at home, j)>ecait8e when It Is necessary for you to get credit, it is of your own mer­ chants you have generally to get it, and they innst wait for the mouey.-- Therefore, when you have the cash tu hand spend it at home. 6th. Spend your inonev at home.-- It will make better merchants; they can and will keep better assortments and sell at lower lates than If the only business they can do is wliat Is cred­ ited out, white the asoney goes ttf other places. 6th. Spend your money at home.-- You may have some sons growing up who will some day be the merchants In town. Help lay the foundations of tlietn now. It Is a duty. It may bo your pride in after years to say: By my trading at the store I got my son a position as clerk and now he is pro­ prietor." Then you will think It hard if your neighbors spend their money out of town. Set the example now. 7th. Spend your mouoy at home.-- Set the exampie now. Buy your dry good?, and groceries, meat* and srery- tliing at home, and you will see a wonderful change in a short time in the business outlook of the place; therefore, deal with your home mer­ chants. 8th. Spend your money at home.-- What do you gain by going off? Count tiie eost; see what you could have done, at home by letting your merchant^ have tne cash. Strike a balance and see if yon would uot have been just as well ofi, besides helping your mer­ chant. 9th. Ppend your money at home.-- .Your merchants are your neightior* your friends; they stand by you In sickness--are your associates; without your trade they cannot keep your business. No stores, then no banks, no one wanting to buy property to settle on And build np this your place. 10th. Merchants should do their advertising at home. They should get their bill heads< circulars, cards, letter heads, envelope*, and all their printing nt home.of their own newspaper, who aid them in man] ways, and advertise them hundreds of times without any pay w hatever. Merchants should set an example to theircustoir ers by pat­ ronising t heir home newspapers. Men and woineu are Imitative and animals :ue prone to follow examples set them. How can merchants expect their neighbors to trade with theun If tliey set the example of goiug away from home for their printing and ad­ vertising? Let merchants and peo­ ple ail patronise home enterprise, and home t rade. So shall they all be pras* perotis aud happy. A Novel Experiment. Per Imps the most lovel sight that was ever seen In Michigan was wit. oessed here, says the Farwell (Mich.) Heg'mter, in the way of a railroad en­ gine running through the woods on a common wagon road. The engine ar­ rived a day or two since on the Flint and Pere Marquette Railway; from Pittsburgh, made expressly for their railroad north of tills place, used for hauling logs to the Muskegon River.-- After its arrival here, the query was how to get the engine to its destlna. tion--some fifteen miles distant. Two hundred dollars having been offered for the Job without avail, the mana­ gers conceived the novel plan of get­ ting up steam and trying the wagon road, which was put into execution.-- Steam was gotteuJip and the engine started northward on the Ionia and Houghton Lake State Bead at the west end of town, with cheers and hurrahs fro.n the assembled ctowd. It moved off slowly and steadily without any ap­ parent difficulty, followed by a force of men with levers and teams with wa­ ter and fuel to supply it wants. The "sight was curious and novel, a railroad engine puffing through the tall* pines vomiting fire and smoke and startling the astonished woodsmen along the line. An astonished messback came into town the same day and declared he had seeu the devil "back here in the woods." The story of the steamboat looking for water mav not be hard to believe after this.

Secretary Sherman and the Silver MIL He accept# gracefuffy the titudtion.-- A peep into the Treamry.--Mourning for Brother• Tomb and Temple.--A Uvek/ Debate in the Senate,--The Sti­ ver Certificate«. [From our Special Correspondent.] Wash two vox, D. C., Xsrch tSd, ISfl The enemies of the Silver Act, by which the double standard of gold And silver was re-established, are disposed to assail Secretary Sherman for frankly admitting that he was mistaken in his preconceived opinion in regard to the efleet of that measure. Like all these who opposed remonetization, he thought that its effect would be to en­ hance the premium on gold, to depre­ ciate the value of the Government bonds, and to render more difficult the! resumption of specie payments. He now simply confesses that he was In error, aud for his candor in owning the fact he is assailed as fickle In purpose or false to his f riends. In other words* he Is blamed for refusing to shut his eyes to palpable facts. In his "interview** with the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday, Mr. Sherman gave it as his opinion that "the Silver Bill has had some adverse efleets, and it has had some favorable effects on the question of resumption." It has stopped the sale of 4 per cent bonds, and it has stopped the accumu­ lation of gold in the Treasury. Anoth­ er bad effect hns been to cause the re­ turn of United States bonds from Eu­ rope. He states, however, that the bonds have been returning for a year past, but that thay have come back more rapidly since the Silver Bill passed the House tn December last.-- This effect is partly due, as we suspect, to the vast balance of trade In favor .of this country, which must be paid for lu money or bonds. Importers of Ameri­ can produce would avail themselves of every favorable phase of the markets to buy the bonds, and send them to this country. The outgoing gold to pay interest has not been equal to the excess of our exports ever Imports. The beneficial cft'ects ef the Silver Act are stated by Mr. Sheirman te be the following: "In the first place the Silver Bill satisfied a strong public de- uiaud for bi-metallic money, and that demand is uo doubt largely sectional. No doubt there Is a difference of opln- ion between the West and South and the Last on this subject, but the desire for remonetization was almost univer­ sal. In a Government like ours it is always good to obey the popular cur- reut, aud that has been deue. I think, by the passage of the Silver Bill. Re­ sumption can be maintained more easily upon a double standard than up­ on a single standard. The bu^lky char­ acter of silver would prevent payments in it. while gold being more portable, would be more freely demanded, and 1 think resumption can be maintained with a less amount ef silver than of gold alone." Yesterday A sub-committee ef the House Committee on Banking aud Cur­ rency called at the Treasury Depart­ ment and Interviewed Comptroller Knox, Tieasurer Gilfiilian and Secre­ tary Sherman upon the amount, ef standard and subsidiary coinage in the Treasury, the sub-treasuries and in all tfie banking institutions throughout the couutry with a v.ew of ascertain­ ing the exact coodition ef the Trsasary aud the bauk«. and their ability a« re­ gards the amount or coin on hand, to commence resumption, have as regards tiie national banks, concerning which they had not the date needed, tiie Treasury officials were unable to afford the desired information. The House Committee Ou Bankiug and Currency does uot lielieve that the Secretary of the Treasury will actually have the amount of coin which he claims en hand when the deductions for the sink­ ing fund aud paymeuts for interest on the national debt have been made.-- The committee will endeavor toobtaiu the Information which they seek by sending out letters aud circulars aud by calling for bank statements. The M'lsonio celebration at the Foundry Church last night was grand aud Impressive iu the e"xtrome, the oc­ casion being a special meeting of Mithras Lodge of Perfection, No. 2, A. A. L. R., for the purpose of holding a lodge of sorrow iu memory o< John Adams S ewart, «ixteenth degree, and John Barrett Wadsworth, thirty-teo- oud degree, who died within tiie last year. The handsome auditorium was crowded by a large and fashionable audience, who appeared strangely and deeply Impressed by the awesome aud solemn character of the mystic cere­ monies. The myriad of twiukllng lights in the branches clustered round the columns shed a dim and chastened light upon the silent throug, while be­ hind the alter-rail sat several ot the highest dignitaries of the great Ma­ sonic order decorated with their mag­ nificent aud glitter!ug regalia. Prom iueut among these, with his venerable white hair and handsome face, sat Albert Pike, the pre-Hl-ig dignitary-- Albert Pike the statesman, soldier, poet and Jurist. "The alter rails were hidden by a forest of green leaves and by the choicest flowers, while round a hand­ some black, velvet covered casket, richly decked with silver monntlngs, banted the mystic tapers of the nioutn- Ail ceremonial. Upon the wall behind hung the three white banners ef the departed knights, the name being em­ broidered upon each. Midway tip the aisle, against two of the pillars, sat enthroned above the audience* one upon the right band and the other on the left, the Senior Warden* Mr. Wm. R. Singleton, aud S. F. Schofield, the Jun­ ior Warden. The solemn services were read--the ritual and responses being recited and made by the presid­ ing officer, the wardens and the other Masons present--In the most Impressive manner. When the solemn valedictory, "Farewell! Farewell! FarewellVf was repeated, the twenty-seven brethren standing In front of the alter-rail In full regalia, with meekly bended heads, crossed their white gloved hands upon their hearts In reverent sorrow, and then raised them all to heaven In mute appeal, as if moved by one hidden impulse. Wheeling simultaneously rouud, these marshaled mourners marched half round the auditorium three times as the solemn farewell in­ vocation was repeated. Tli»5 ceremo­ nies concluded with eloquent and affecting eulogies of the deceased. That upon Sir Knight Grantham M. Smith was .delivered with great power and pathos by Gen. Albert Pike, while those upon John B. Wadsworth and John Adams Stewart were made by the Rev. Win. Mortou Ireland. Thursday afternoon was a field day in the Sena'e, which witnessed the bitterest debate of the session. Sarg­ ent opened his batteries upon the Secretary of the Interior, whoie chief offence seems to be that he did not have the grace to be born In the Uni ted States, and who further offends '« that be has called the people Who cut timber from the pnblic lands and sell It hard names. During this speech Mr. Sargent reflected upon Massachusetts In such a manner as to call forth a very severe and personal reply from Mr. Dawes. Mr. Sargent demanded an apology, which was understood to be grouted, as uothiug was said about Bladeusbttrg. But when Blaine, with a hat full of bricks, and bristling all over with fight, came in'o the field, tlia debate at once assumed a tragical form, and there was manifested on all sides an Intense Interest. But after making sundry charges against the Secretary In his most aggressive style, and running rough-shod over Dawea,, Christiancy, and Ingalls. his invective was finally checked, and his attack upeu the Administration (for of course that was the animus of it) was brought to a "most lame and Impotent conclusion" by means of a very effec­ tive speech from Mr. lloar aided by Senator Matthews, both of whom showed very clearly that although there were Jmnfshfp* connected with the laws affecting the timber lands, the Secretary having called the attention of Congress to them, he had no other duties in the premises than to have the laws executed until amended or re­ pealed. Senator Eustls, of La., also spoke agatnst the Secretary, on ac­ count of some irregularities respecting the seizures of timber In his State, but It turned out that the instruct Ions given these agents by Secretary Scliurz were all right but the agents had failed to carry them out In some cases. The Secretary holds that the cutting of timber for "peculating purposes from the public lands Is as much stealing as if taken from an Individual, and he pro­ poses to euferoe the laws against the molded companies who deal so largely tn this business in the far West. Tiie Bureau ef Engraving and Print- ing to-day began the work of printing the silver certiflcate*,commencing with the denomination of #10. It is expect ed that certificates of all the denomina­ tions will be ready for delivery by the first of next month. Orders for them have been received from most of the large cities, the largest order being from New York, for about eight mil­ lions. fQrThe Mexican people are showing an energy that should win them eredlt and honor, In their efforts to meet the payment of the debt due to the Unit­ ed States. Don Victorlano Nieves, a millionaire of Carmen Island In the Gulf of California, has personally con­ tributed •10,000 toward the fund for the settlement of the American claim, and many othei cltlsens are giving In proportion to their means. The pro­ ceeds of theatrical entertainments are also being forwarded to tiie national authorities for the same patriotic use. --N. Y. Sun. W School Books and Writing Paper Cbsap, at O. W. Owen's.

" Don't stop to a»k questions,1* before the burglar could answer. Mnse your revolver.** These words had the desired effect and the negro fled for his life, fortunately for Mr. aud Mrs. Mitchell, for there was no leaded weapon In the house nor servants near enough to hear any out­ cry. The thief had selected valuable clothing to take away and had evident­ ly approached the bed in hopes of securing a watph or purse, but left the house so hurriedly that he took nothing at all away with him. Thieving and picking of pockets is fearfully common here now, and It !sn4t safe for a lady to hold her pocket book in her hand for a moment on the street. Secretary Sherman told On^gms^||| Tuesday that he would be able to resume specie payments by January lv 1879, If Congress would let hlui alone, aud perhaps as early as July next, without detriment to publio prosper­ ity. i . Mary Clemmer writes to the N. T. Independent. "I have knowki many Senator's wives who have been emphat­ ically their husband's right hands. Conspicuous among those Is Mrs. Lo­ gan of Illinois. Only God and her husband know what he owes to that bright, beautiful, self-abnegating we- mau.** There Is no doubt but Mrs. Logan has been a very charging wo­ man and there is uo doubt but she has furnished her husband with the politi­ cal power that has held him in place. Nor is there reasonable doubt that she is "self-abnegating," for when a wo­ man makes up her mind and carries out the determination to "become all things to all men.** for the sake of gaining their support for her husband, she can truly be called self-abnegating. Mrs. Logan bat been one of those lobbyists who don't go Into the lobby to do their work. One of those who give receptions and dinner parties, invite Tom, Dick and Harry--anyone Whose votes are wanted whether con- geulal or repulsive, make themselves familiar, agreeable, " bright, beauti­ ful " ftid then say, "Now yon'tf vote for J<din, wont yeu? Oh you must you know! I wont let you go Qff withont a promise,** etc. There are several young ladles in Washington this winter who are laud­ ed as wonders because they are young and yet have charge of society house­ holds. Sec*y Schurz'8 daughter Is per­ haps tho person most praised. In thil respect and without doubt she is very capable for a girl of tier years for she is the mistress of her fathers house- held, wnlth includes tho two little boys; but it strikes me that the hero­ ism, or even the capacity, she exhibits ;n this is no greater than that of many and many a young thing who takes upon herself the burdens ef wifehood, motherhood, and poverty, and lives and dies unknown to, and unpraised by the world. The marvals of matur­ ity first mentioned simply have the oversight of matters. They have ser­ vants to do all the work, tutors and nurses for the young children in their charge, and servants of all woric to sfifef nd to every beck and call, whereas the latter named are their own and their families teacher, servant, seam­ stress, oook, washerwoman, anil nur*e. l v ' : SOke Time to Host, « Most men and women must keep In the traces, and keep polling ilia ye«r round.
