HARD MONEY VS.. PAPER.---Here'

HARD MONEY VS.. PAPER Here
the best story for hard money orator
to tell on the stump we have struck in
some time:
Ten Thousand Dollars in the Suds.--.
An ex.banker of Cincinnati, Ohio, who
went under during the late financial cri-
sis, and was compelled by outside pres
sure to " shut up shop" and endeavor
to " realize assets amply" sufficient to
cover all his disabilities, was thrown into
a wild state of excitement, on Tuesday
last, so humorously remarks the Cam
mercial, of that city. He was, in fact,
in condition of mind bordering upon
phrenzy. 1t seems that he has queer
habit of having breeches washed. He
sends them out to laundress. Last
Thursday, the ex-banker's whisperables
went out as usual-one pair at least
but the washerwoman, from some unex-
planned cause, was dilatory, and did not
put The bifurcates into suds as promptly
as she was wont. Saturday came, and
she concluded to lay the job over until
the first of the week. Monday she was
interrupted, and the unm ntionables
again put aside until Tuesday. hat
morning, however, she resolved to dis
pose of the contract, and accordingly
she prepared the instruments. She got
the water not, the suds made, and held
the brecks' by the waistband, and was
about to subject them to hydrophatic
treatment, when her hand was suddenly
arrested, and her heart sent struggling
into her throat by furious rapping at
the door.
She hesitated, stood aghast between
terror and her wash tub, but before she
had time to collect her faculties, her pat
ron stood before her, his features distor-
ted, his eyes blazing with frantic ex-
citement. Surveying her an instant, he
screamed, ripped and roared, rather
than interrogated: Have you-have
you-washed my breeches ? You've
ruined me-ruined me have you wash
ed my breeches ?-but suddenly catch
ing view OF the garments still clutched
by the suspended hand of the terrified
laundress, he leaped forward with ner-
vous energy, and 'snatching them from
her, he ran his own hand hastily along
the waistband until he met something
that seemed TO satisfy his desires, and
sinking down in chair he fairly went
into Mysteries. By this time the poor
woman found voice to ask him: why
Mr.. --, what is the mattcr?' %
woman, woman he said, what an es-
cape! There is ten thousand dollars
in those breeches. Where's your scis-
sors ? Get them quick. Had you
washed those breeches l would have
been ruined. What an escape The
laundress got the scissors, ripped the
seam of the waistband, and before her
astonished gaze beheld layers of bank
bills, of what value she knew not, save
that he repeated, "Ten thousand dollars!
What an escape !"

NEVER RETRACT.-A distinguished
editor was in his study. A long, thin,
ghostly visaged individual was announc-
ed. With an asthmatic voice but in a
tone of stupid civility, for otherwise the
editor would have assuredly transfixed
him with a fiery paragraph the next
morning-the stranger said:
Sir, your journal of yesterday con-
tanned false information
Impossible, sir; but what do you
allude TO 2
'Yon said that Mr.. M-had been
tried
True
Condemned
Very true
Hung
Yes
Now, Sir, I am that gentleman
Impossible
l assure you it is fact, and l now
hope you will contradict what you have
alleged
By no means
You are deranged.'
'Imay be sir, but I will not take it
back
L will complain to magistrate.'
'As you please, but never retract.
The most can do for you is to announce
that the rope broke, and that you are
now in perfect health. l have my prin-
ciples: never retract.'

The THREE CoMErs.-Tbree oftbose /

The THREE CoMETs.-Three ofthese
visitants have made their appearance,
afording astronomers an opportunity of
making simultaneous observations upon
each. Only the brightest of these ran
be seen with the naked eye. 1t has
well defined tail or appendage of about
two degrees in length, and is rapidly in
creasing in brightness. 1t is supposed
to be about 140.000,000 miles distant
from the earth, the orbit of which it is
gradually approaching. tits calculated
by the first week in October that this
comet will attain to an unusual splendor.
1t may be seen about an hour after sun
set in the northwest, so that all remain
visible to the naked eye but few hours.
AS it rises higher above the horizon
each successive evening, we shall have
clearer and more prolonged views of the
illustrious stranger.
The brightest of the three comets,
says the New York Ecening Post, is
supposed by DR.. Gould to be identical
with the comet of 1764, and the first of
the three comets seen in 1927, and to
have period of 81 years, although this
conjecture is based merely upon a sup
posed identity of motion. The second
comet which can only be seen by the
telescope, is supposed to be the return
of Faye's periodical comet, which has
an interval of 271S days, OF 7,44 years.
But its present position differs so much
from the former movements Of Faye's
comet, that this Identification is extreme
ly problematical. The third body,
which is also telescope. is conjectured
to be the great expected comet of 1864
and 1856. All astronomers agree in ex-
tolling its splendor. It's tail is said to be
more than 100 degrees in length, or one
half of the visible heavens. Its first ap-
pearance was ON the night of the death
of Pope Urban ". The interval in
cluded in the two former epochs of its
appearance is about 293 years, which
would place its return in the year 1S4S.
Accordingly, its return has predicted in
that year; but it was subsequently dis
covered that in consequence of plancr-
ary disturbance. its return will be be-
tween the year 1856 and the close of
1860. One class of elements would lead
US to expect Its return in August of the
present year and hence its supposed
identity with the third body now appear
ing in the northern heavens.

The Empress Eugene of France has
involved herself in an unpleasant diff
Guilty by pretending to be younger than
she really is. 1t appears that she was
born in 1921, which would make her now
thirty-seven years old, but she had Off
cially announced on her last birth day
June 4) that she was only thirty-two.
BY this statement she would have been
born June 4, 1926, but some seekers
after curious bits of family history. have
discovered that her father died in 1922,
and have been able in consequence of
her foolish vanity to cast a doubt upon
her legitimacy.
