"While tlie recon struction measures were passing through Congress, an accidental flurry in Wall street pnt up the price of gold to 140, and the National Intelligencer instant ly sounded the alarm that such a poli cy would ruin the business of the coun try. The Journal of Coni)ner:e told a wonderful story of some English gen tlemen who had come here to invest two millions sterling in the purchase of cotton lands, but who " abandoned their purpose, in view of the uncertain ties of the future since the designs of certain Radical politicians have become more full' disclosed." The rapid de cline of the price .of gold since the passage of the act is showing the fool ishness of the attempted scare, and proving that what is really wanted is the settlement of a policy. Confidence ill now hare a solid foundation to rest upon. X". II Post. " Yankee Doodle " Ix Spain. Mr. Bryant, in closing his last letter from Spain, mentions the following : I have mentioned the Basques, and I have an incident to relate which con nects them, curiously enough, with our own country. Some time since, when Mr. Perry, secretary of the American Legation at Madrid, was in one of the Basque provinces, he heard a band playing their national airs. The Bas ques have preserved whatever is pecu liar to them, their language, their cus toms, and many of their political rights, from the earliest periodin which they are known to history ; . their national music is claimed to be of the same an tiquity. After tiie baud had played several other airs it struck up " Yankee Doodle," the very tunein every note, which is so familiar to American ears. Mr. Perry immediately claimed it as our national air. " It is one of our old tunes," said a gentleman to whom he poke, " and I can convince you of the fact. For hundreds of years it has been a popular air among us." The gentleman afterward made good his assertion by showing Mr. Perry a manuscript of great antiquity which contained the identical musical notes of " Tankee Doodle." Cnir.NON Crawlers. A sensation is creat ed in Northern society by the announcement made by a scientific writer in the London Lancet, that in every waterfall not composed of the natural hair of the wearer, (and pos sibly in cases even where the hair is natural,) there are myriads of parasitic gregarines. The female portion of that society are busily engaged in examining their chignons, and the papers contain ''astounding develop ments" of the horrors revealed. One writes to the N. Y. World: "I have long felt something moving all over my head, and there has been a constant tendency on my part to shall I say it ? to scratch. I now know the cause. I have abandoned my chignon, and have forbidden the wearing of them by my daughters. 1 eacc and quiet now reigns in a lately nearly distracted household. Those who wish for similar happiness inut leave off their waterfalls." A Paris Stout. A story, now current in i ans, as lollows : A lady, in the first society, was . recently obliged to dismiss her nurse on account of an excess of firemen and private soldiers too uuen repeated. Ti.-I . ... Alter cuoosing a successor to the crimi nal a very pretty girl, explaining why the urst was sent away, enjoined it on the sec ond not to do likewise. She admitted that she should'nt. u " I can endure a good deal," said the lady, hut soldiers about the kitchen I won't en dure." After a week or eight days the lady came one morning into the kitchen, opened a cup "oad, and discovered a youthful military character. " Oh, ma'am !" cried the girl frightened, I give you my word I never saw that sol dier before in all my life he must haVe been one of the old ones leftover by the other t'irl !"
