but what the people desire at present cannot M DC

as there Is doubt concerning the result
Mr. Phier, Pres dent OF the FIRST National BANK
OF Philadelphia being found In his oifce was asked,
what do you think, sir, OF the condition OF the
country to attempt return to specie payments e
Mr. PHILER-The question is at present earnestly
considered In all quarters Only last evening q
number OF my friends were engaged In It's discus
sion. The great difficulty Is TO ascertain the
amount OF gold actually IN the country.
LET US SAY THAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN GATHER
EIGHTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN COIN
Then let the government announce that upon Q
certain day 1t will resume. You remember the
run during the last crisis and you can imagine the
run which would be made Immediately upon q
proclamation OF such nature. There Is an
amount of 1885, 00O, 900 in legal tender notes. A
very large portion OF this sum - held oy the ma
tional banks. These banks would at once run
upon the government and demand that their legal
tenders be redeemed for gold. A single day would
exhaust all the gold the government could collect
torether Hence 1t seems TO me that, IA earnestly
as we all desire IL. resumption oil specie payment
is entirely out OF the question.

Nobody's Kitty.


Peeping out behind the shed,
Purring down from overhead,
Hiding under pi es of wood,
Starving for tue lack of God,
Watching vainly for mouse
In the ira ii behind the house;
None to caress him and no one to pity,
Liyeth and dieth nObody's Kitty.
Venturng out from his retreat,
Vaiuly tri' s to cross the street.
Dogs and boys are fond of play,
Sot e. chase the cat away;
FIJI. htened, seeks he crack or shed
Where 20 hide his weary lead
Poor little wandei i'm, homeless Kitty,
Whom nobody ever stops to pity.
When the night is dark and still,
Kitty weers and wall at will,
Cries for very woe and fear;
Little recks the foe Is near.
Till, from windows around,
Boots and pokers strew the Srounu.
Suddenly quiet with no one 10 pity,
Sleepy and hushed is poor nttie hltty.
The little birdie has his nest,
Mice find a olace wherein TO rest,
Dogs have somewhere home to own:
Only one little beast alone
Fin Is the great town cruel and nd
When he's Young and when he's old
Poor little wanderers, filling the city.
Fri htened and helpless, woe, woe, little Kitty
We who send with willing hands
Pence or tracts to heather lands;
We who open wide your door
To the hungry or the poor,
Don't look 80 very far away;
Walk out in your backwards today,
Finding enough to care for and pity.
Love and admire, in nobody Kitty.
