The nrs rise OF the curtain until the close of the

roar of laughter. Shouts and applause greeted
every appearance Of the great comedian, and all
seemed TO be indulging in broad, general grin,
which he at, will, converted into uncomfortable
laughter The great presentation scene" at the
conclusion, was complete success, and as poor
Joshua, after his poetic presentation speech holds

INC rise In cold, and its CauSes.

The Rise In Gold, and its Causes.
The rise in the price Of gold to a point
1t has not touched before In two years IS
not so difficult 10 understand, when all
the facts are considered. It Is always
easy to blame the rise on spectators and
Corners" but spectators and operators
for rise base their dealings on substan'
tial facts, and althocgh they frequently
overdo the thing, they could not succeed
as they II the public mind did not COIN
eide, insome mcasure,w with their judgment.
Last Saturday gold advanced to III.
On that day the statistics oil the commerce
OF the port Of New York for that week
were made public. Look for a moment
at the figures:
Foreign imports at New York for the 90. no

Exports OF gold since July l, 1874. 80. 4g,6isl7S
Exports Of gold same time previous a.. M,
Increase in exports Of gold. 2iGi5,!;7
These figures tell their own tale. A
nation which imports fourteen millions
in one week and exports only five and a
quarter millions, must export gold to
make up the deficiency, and apeople who
exports nearly fifty million of gold in
thity.nine weeks to pay Ltor their excess
Of imports, must not be surprised OF the
gradual but steady advance in the premi.
um on the gold they are so lavishly ex-
porting. Less than two years ago the
government had over hundred millions
Of coin in It's Treasury; now it has only
sixty.sIx millions. The difference has
gone to Europe to pay forimpOrted goods
and as the government reserve Of coin
dwindles, the premium on coin increases.

But this is not the worst oft. Millions

furnished exchange with which 10 lIqui-
date tho balance Of trade against US. This
has temporarily put of the evil day, but
the day OF payment and settlement looms
big in the future, and meantime there Is
the interest on the bonds to pay, which

We cannot go on forever, lor much long

shrewd enough to put all these facts to-
gether and draw the unavoidable COnclu-
sion that gold must inevitably advance;
and it would be well If all the people Of
the country could see the facts as clearly
and draw the proper conclusion. "The
prudent man torseeth the evil and hideth
himself; but the foolish pass on and are

An ALCOHOL SWEAT.

A few evenings ago young Blivins,
who boards up on Monroe steeet, told
his landlady he had caught fearful
cold, and if she would lend him dish
he would take an alcohol sweat. Now,
that is the simplest mode of sweating in
the world and can be taken in two ways
You can pour alcohol down your throat
and in about few hours the police
magistrate will make you sweat, or you
csti use it as Blivins did, and you won't
want TO sweat again for two hundred
and ninety-seven years, eight months
and three days. .....
Mr.. Crowley, his roommate, viewed
the preparations with great alarm. He
placed a soup plate under cane-seat
chair and then poured it full of alcohol.
1.-TWO tablespoonsful is dose). Then
he deyested himself OF his raiment,
gathered Il blanket close around his
! neck and pinned it there. Then he
climbed up on the chair and squatted
down, while the blanket fell around
him to the floor, making him look for
all the world like Captain Jack at a
council in the lava beds.
Then he requested Mr.. Crowley to
raise one corner of the blanket and
drop bit of lighted paper on the alco-
hol. Entertaining some gave doubts as
to the result, Mr.. Crowley demurred at
first, but finally, after obtaining an in
Identifying bond from the sweater, he
complied. $3.50. -u; aj
The blanket having been in use on q
board nghouse bed for seventeen years,
was thin enough to reveal the scrawny
outline of Blivins' legs and body curled
up over Pickering blue fame with
angry white tips. that was rapidly as
suming the proportions Of conflagra-
ton. The sweat poured from Blivins
forehead in rills and rivulets, and as he
rose into more erect position he said
'' Suffering Moses!' in tone Of inter-
est. ~ ...e. t.
Then he ascended into half stand
ing posture and shouted, mercy of
heaven! must these continue?" and
then he planted his feet fiat on that
chair aud with the perspiration stream
ing from every pore he shrieked,
Souls of the martyrs! help me out Of
thisH' and then feeling as though he
had incautionsly stuck his feet into o
smeltin. furnace he rose up in the air
till his head struck the ceiling fell
back on the edge eff the chair and
kicked over the alcohol. and with wild
curses fed from the room while Crow
ley raised the alarm of fire.. r... ..a.
They found young Mr.. Blivins ont in
the back yard with his feet in a tub
and his head under the hydrant repeat
ing formulas that no paper can publish
and retain respectable standing and
circulation. II says he always knew
that alcohol wasn't intended to burn
outside of the human stomach and brain
and when he gets able to speak-his
cold is 80 much worse that he cannot
talk in whisper-he will tell what he
knows about sweats. -tf ..4 H. t,fi
