} _. the Druggists’ The Dail r Transeript v NEVADA ITY, CAL. nl a Tuesday October 20, “1874. The: Gurréncy. The financil question is destined . ; jlo be the leading issue at the next . “Presidential campaign. ees of the’present currency or a .witidrawul and speedy resumption of specie payment is what will be presented ‘for decision. plaint in the East of a searcity of money to, meet the ‘exigencies of trade. Hard . times sre upon the poor e and many are the causes asi Some Peace gapce in railroad building: some be~_ Tievé the cause rests solely with the ‘people who have been living too _fast for.the last decade, and others think the present stringent condition of monetary affairs is caused by a blind subserviency to a false monetavy system. They believe that the National currency’should bea legal tender for all purposes whatever, and should be interchangeable at the holders option, with Government bonds bearing a fixed rate of interest. ‘They believe that such notes would inaugurate a self-adjusting system, which would be beyond the control of any combination. That the amount of ‘currency im circulation would be entirely dependent, upon the wants of trade, fur as soon as enough has been issued to accomodate the wants of the community, the surplus would be eonverted into interest bearing stock and returned to the Treasury to be reissued. As the system now stands, there isa fixed and unalterable amount issued, At one season of the yearit is far be. yond the wants of trade, while at another seuson,: for instance, when the great staples of the country are to bé brought forward and. paid for, it is entirely inadequate. These de-. fects they claim wonld be remedied ‘+y the proposed issue of legal tender notes convertable at the option of the holder, into bonds bearing interest, said bonds being again convertible into said legal tenders. When trade demanded more currency the Government could issue enough to meet the demand. Whena surplus was in the country laying idle it would at once be invested by its owners in interest’ bearing bonds which could at any time be converted; again into cash, This plan is said _ to have originated with Pliny Freeman, ‘President of the Globe Life Insurance Company, and is being advo' gated by the New York Mercantile The Dry Goods Journal, Journal, the Hard; ware Price Current, the Grocers’ Priee Current, and in the thirteenth Annual. Report of United States Treasurer Spinner, he reeccommends the passage of sucka law. With a ‘view to secure unity of action on sd important a measure, @ secret 80-ciety has been organized, called the ‘National Currency Leagne,”’ with Journal, ‘¢ headquarters at New York City. . By addressing the league and en-elosing stamps for return postage, any one will be furnished with such instruction as is necessary to enable << to take thésproper position to eceive information relative to the We believe the principle a vequal the ¢ ‘ sanguine. The school at Eureka Sotith or Graniteville, is being taught by Mis Mary Madigan. She has 20 pupils in attendance, which is considerably more than is usual for the school. A taxias been levied for the purpose ef erecting a new school house, and the assessment roll has been completed and we believe the coltector commenced work yesterday. ‘The season is so late that it is prob‘able that the building will pot be put up until Spring. The people of the District are very much pleased with Miss Madigan and the school is pro.gressing very rapidly. ~ Advertisements, Many of our advertisements are crowded out to-day, to give room for the publication of a long United States law, Inthe next issue they will be found in their proper places. itil Rain.

They don’t phase the éstablishment in the least, and the Enterprise gets the start of them every time. The fight reminds us of what 4 colored citizen said about the discussion at Grass jValley, two years ago, between Frank Page and Paschall Coggins. On being asked how the discussion came out, the colored gentleman .replied: ‘Why sah, Page chawed Coggins up, then spat him out, and then chawed him up again and ‘spat him out again, and dat was de last of him.’’ That is just the way the fight will end against the Enterprise. Spenceville School, Welearn that J. C. Boynton, of Rough & Ready-has taken the school at Spenceville, There was not money enough in the.schoolfund belonging ‘to that district to’ keep school regularly; and we presume Mr. Boynton “has gone there only for two or three months to teach out what money isdue the district, The ‘Trustees at Rough and Ready would not think of getting along without Boynton, —_ _ Advertised Letter List.

He was eating some food and from some cause it entered his throat before he had thorouglily masticated it, and lodged there. He could neither breathe nor speak, . and finally fell to the floor utterly . helpless. By a thoughtful introduction of her tinger into his throat, his mother after two-or three attempts dislodged the eause of the difficulty, otherwise the result must have terminated fatally. oe ~~?

From his tesiing house kept by an estimable German Catholic named Switzher, near the M. &-O. Railroad. She easily imposed-hérself upon the gcéd nature of this fidy, and was permitted to stop with her, paying her board in work. She behaved badly’ again,and Mrs. Switzher discharged her. Instead of going off, however, she went up into Mrs, Switzher’s room, (it was immediately after breakfast) and’sent for this lady from. the dining-room, When she got into her . presence shé conimenced to abuse her in a most shameful manner. Mrs. Switzher tried to quiet her, and expressed sympathy for her. 4 Bridget told her that she had better . sympathize with herself, and made at her, Mrs. Switzher rushed down stairs, Jeaying her three children, consistitig of-a little boy 4 years. old and two daughters aged. respectively 6 and 10, inthe room. The oldest says that the two children were in the bed with the’ mosquito bar: fastenéd arotind it and that Bridget de. liberately took the lamp and satnrated the bed and children with coal oil and then fired it. Before assistance cot ld reach them ‘the passage was a solid sheet of flame, aud the two children were burned, with the house and thost of the furniture. The fiend is in prison ‘}and the poor mother nearly distracted with grief at her terrible loss.— Tar rus Epucation.—The true education of -cbildren should commence at home, and it might be even confined to that locality if the proper influences prevail there. It is the father and the mother of the. h family who control the future of the boys and girls of the eoming generations. If their conduct be proper, . their examples worthy of imitation, all legislation in the direction of compulsory education in* public or private schools is an impertinent interference with private rights; ; nd, if the home associations are hurtful, all such legislation is’ utterly useless. tellectual faculties alone which is to elevate the human race to the desired height it should occupy. The most infamous and shecking crimes have been committed by men highly distinguished in the world of literature; and the most accomplished and dangerous villains who fill our State Prisons are men of finished scholastic education. All the learning that the receptive mental powers of boys and girls may enable them to appropriate will be ineffective in ‘detering them from evil courses, in after life, if they are subjected to the contamination of bad moral examples or teachings in the domestic circle, Schools, as adjuncts, do much to benefit the youth of the land, but they are powerless, for good, unless they are supplemented by correct counsel and — in the family life, Nine-tenths of the hoodlums who disgrace our city are not boys. and devoid of book-knowledge, but 1 outgrowth of unbappy homes—the i York Insurance clerk, while waiting ina crowdat one of the Brooklyn ferries, playfully picked a bandkerchief from the pocket of a companion, when he was instantly. tapped }.on the shoulder by a genuine pick:pocket, who had just relieved him [had made suc’a mistake, * that she must look out for another . ’ dence she went tothe hotetor-beard. . — ‘Y assortnient oF Fromthe Paducah Kentuckian, _ : It is not the wattigation of the in-}* Hicuiy Compuimentary.—A New} of his. pocket book,but who returned}.it with ‘the apology that he never . . knowingly operated on a brother .
