Coneeivoof the enormous lo-ses which tlio workiiiKuieii must suffer in the course of a year from Ihicliialing currency.

Tho tendency of "cheap money is to get cheaper and cheaper, and at every stage oflli" decline the working-man is cheated. Speculators in stock or real eslato and niiildli'meu who buy and sell from day to day and mark their goods hie1' nigh to cover possible decialions ma id an advantage in cheap currency. i i he masses et this country aro work-eis eir prosperity must depend to a '-stent oa a sound currency. The vol I. in wheii ho earns a dollar real dollar, nut the "ll.it money" of dreamers and demagogues which is based on nothing and must bu subject to every fluctuation.

Such a currency double defrauds him. It robs him when ho receives his wage and it again robs him when he pays the money for the necessaries of life. The commodity which the workiugnian sells, consisting et the labor of his hands must be disposed of as the days and hours pass, and is tho last to rise in price, while Up commodities which ho must consum-' in order to live mount in price with rvery depreciation of tho currency. Heme, workiiigiuen, whether tlcy toil by or brain, must bu tho worst suf-feieis from irredeemable paper money, or fie "fl it money'' of tho demagogues. If lie wmkingiiien of this country value their own iiitore.itsthey will bo contented Willi nothing but real niunoy, which is the only exact and honest measure of the wages Ihey earn and tho necessaries of luxuries they consume.

They will not permit themselves lor one moment to bo cejolcd with vagaries about "absolute money'' which has no bash except in the imagination of financial lunatics and demagogues.

In 173-1 the American Friends publicly recommended tho society to "udviso and deal" with such as en-gaged in the slavo trade. Again tho slave-holding members wera urged not only to emancipate their i.laves, hut care fur their morals and treat them h.u-manelv. In I'M tho British friends came up to this and more decidedly in Kill and 17a. Tho Phi'adelphia yearly Meeting of 177-1 declared all mem-bers disowned who traded in slaves and in 177.1 took a final step by directing that all owners of slaves who refuse to execute the proper instruments for their freedom be disowned likewise.

THE MARYLAND Alinl.ITIOV S01IICTV. Thus it will be Friends had early been taught to discourage slavery with all their power, and wo have abundant eviilenco of their zeal and devotion to the cause. Following the example of Pennsylvania, Maryland organized tho fourth abolition society in the slates, for the abolition of slavery; for the relii of free negroes unlawfully held in bondage, and for improving tlio condition of tho African race, in It was lormed in Baltimore under the title of the "C'otisli-tutionalSociety." Thefollowing were its first mem tiers: John Pierce, Joseph Iiojd-Alonzo W. llarnes, 'William 11. Morgan, Amos Vest, V.

Of these twenty one persons only ono is known to bo still living, mid that is Mr. Needles of this city, who was secretary of the society. Mr. Needles can recall many interesting remiuifcences cf the old llaltimore slave jails, and in conversation with tho writer some time ago told of some special eaies that came under the notice of the society among which was one that repetition here. IulSlaor thereabouts, a cole-red woman was imprisoned in Wolfoulk's jail who was to bo manumitted on January 1.

She was released, and a few months afterwards gave birth to a boy. When ihe child bad grown to bo a man of thirty the former owners of his mother seized him ai.d held them as their property, chiming that ho w.is born before his mothor received her freedom, and consequently was theirs by law. Tho society heard of the case, and Sir. Needles had tho claim contested in court. By a most, singular bit of evidence the truth was ce'tablishcd and the case won by the society.

A lady was placed upon the stand who testili-ed that she distinctly remembered when a child of going to the hmev.f id' the mother, which was near her own hotiie, and seeing the infant who had ju-it been b-ini. She could not the month of the year, but siie was conlulent that at the lime she carried in her hand a twig of a pouch tree with blossoms on it. Vpon this evidence the eouit declared tiie man free, because the fact that peach trees woro blossoming at the time of tho birth indicated conclusively that it must have been after the first of January, This is but ono of a thousand strange and interesting stories that have their original! these old jails, which if ever ful KAIN ON THE ROOF.

Jt is a stono structure, of antique- design, two stories in height, with iittto square windows that more clearly indicate the extreme age of tho building than anything else about it. It is in the centre of an oid yard that might have been green with verdure when the big gaunt trees that are bending and splitting under their far. reaching boughs were much younger than tluy are now the walla are blackened by the hand of time, and the steep roof is crumbling under Hie coating of soft mos.i. The stor.e wall of the yard that bounds the lot on Pratt street has two rusty iron doors in it, which mark tho entrances two large cavernous passages tltut extend beneath the yard.

If you should open them, (though such a thing has not been done for these many years), you would linn yourself in an archway that leads into utter darkness. Light your way along either of the passages, amid the dust and cobwebs, frightening the rats and spiders in their solitary domain, and you would imraergo into a squaro cell, floored and walled with solid blocks of granite, with here and there a rusty iron ring imbedded in the stone, which at once suggests to your mind Hie nature of the place you are in. There are other iron doors to bo distinguished in dark comers, and if you should draw their bolts you should coma upon other strong cells like the first eight in all. Some of them have trap doors at the top opening into the old bouse above, and in others rusty chains still hang from bolted rings, awakening sad visions of oppression. There is not much more to bo seen here but damp dirt, spreading cobwebs and perhaps the wreck of a beer keg from the bar up-stairs, for the old house is II ItllR I 'UPl.

A correspondent from the national capital says: The traditional ingratitude of republics could hardly be more pointedly illustrated than it is by the misfortunes which have fallen upon some of the living representatives of the family of George Washington. The public is aware of the mailers of tho newspaper press is a fruitful one. When ever any dhreputablo women chooses lo start a dirty story about'ff'r aouiu couspiuious lull -lie man, sho at once counts that practically one-half the press of the county will act as her allies and efficient agents in promoting her blackmailing scheme. That is to say, she assumes that, any newspaper winch is any way hostile to a prominent politician will jump at the chance to print a dHioputabie story about him. Knowing this she goes lo the politician and threatens him with tiie publication.

Nintimes out of ten, whether innocent or guilty, the threat is equally effective. If however, the intended victim does resist, she can make her publications raise a tremendous hue and cry about it, and then try to be bought off. Cases like this aie constantly occurring, and tlic press of the country will deserve more respect whin itih clinesto aid black mailers by standing ready to swallow credulously and proclaim with lungs of braes the nasty story about political op-ntnt which any nasty women chooses to Y.

This is Wolfoulk's Jail, at one time the best known and most flourishing slave jail in all the South.

THE FOUNDER OF THE Austin Wul'oulk was an old negro trader, whose extensive reputation for cruelty made his name a dread and terror to the blacks. He was the proprietor of tho jail for a long time, conducting the house itself as a tavern. There were several other jails in the city, but Wolfoulk's was the chief among them. One known as Skitters, was on Pratt street, near How-aid, and Donovan, another well-known tradei', had two places one on 'Jamden street, near Eutaw, and another, yet standing, on the south side of Pratt street, near Light, once occupied by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad as a freight depot.
