The OAKNAND REPUBLICAN VICroRY.-
An exchange says some of the Republican
papers are rejoicing over this little triumph,
and making all the capital possible out of it
for their party. This is correct, this is as
it might be expected. But it reminds us Of
drowning men catching at straws, or boast
full army after sustaining defeat upon defeat,
making a grand flourish of trumpets at a
little victory over skrmishing party. De-
struction glares upon it from all sides, the
country is witnessing its dying throes, and
no little spasmodic effort such as that of the
Oakland victory can give assurance Of con-
tinued strength. The reverses recently in
the East, are too fresh in the public mind.

MY TREASURE.

It's but a dark and curling tress,
That I steal away to view;
A lock from the brow l often pressed,
Ere l bade the fond adieu.
And Oft when l am alone,
As the evening shadows fall,
l cream of one l left at home,
The dearest of them all.

And forget each little pain,
While picture out the woodland bowers,
Where we ne'er may roam again.
think of how used to WATCH
For your return at night
And the sound of footsteps would catch,
Told of the long days fight.
And when at eve, we gathered round
The warm and cheerful fire,
I eer source Of pleasure found,
In knowing you were there.
In watching for each varying smile,
And listening to each word
1 was gathering treasures all the while.
As dear as the miser's hoard.
Only dark and curling tress
take from its hiding place,
And bestow on it fond caress,
For the brow it used to grace.
Only jetty lock of hair!
But, ah! It's dear to me.
I know that it once nestled there,
On the brow cannot see.

SUBSIDIES TO THE ALLIED POWERS.


The French were everywhere victorious, and
Pitt was constantly asking for money. The
bank at last gave way. 1t was told with
triumph in impoverished and bankrupt
Paris, now living chiefly upon the plunder
Of it's neighbors that the great financial in
stituton of its insuar foes had been thrown
into hopeless disorder. The French be-
leved that the paper money Of England
would fall to a level with their own worth
less assguats, and that financial distress
might reproduce Marats and Robesperres
even in London. The victories of Dumou-
riez and Napoleon had been followed by no
more startling consequence than the appar-
ent destruction of English credit. Yet the
bank had striven boldly against its inevita-
BILE fate. 1t had supplied Pitt with money,
even when trembling for its own solvency;
it had hoped at least for successful battle
TO save it from financial shame. But in vain
had the Directors and the Minister looked
abroad for some CLEAN of promise. Ruin
had fallen upon those vast armies which had
been gathered with the gold of England to
crush the fierce and divided French The
mercenary troops had fled before the legions
animated by starvation and despair. And
in the opening of 1897 tie triumphant Re-
publcans proclaimed their design of cross
ing the Channel and plundering the work
shops and the banks of the modern Car
tbage. All France teemed with
PREPARATIONS FOR INVADING ENGLAND.
All England trembled at the fierce spirit of
rapne and destruction that menaced its
long line of unfortifed coasts. Suddenly in
February news came that the invasion had
begun, that the French had landed, and
panic ran through all the centers of English
trade. On Saturday, the 25th, the Bank of
England was beset by camorous throng,
eager to exchange their notes for gold. Me-
chanics and workngmen, farmers. women,
merchants and capitalists, pressed to its
counters and drained its secret boards.
Bank-notes were looked upon as worthless.
In its wild alright London would be salts
fed with nothing but the precious metals,
that could be most easily hidden until the
danger had passed away. All that dis
astrous day the bank paid out slowly its
diminishing stores. Another day must re-
duce it to utter ruin. But on the Sunday
that interviewed, the Government came to Its
aid. The Council assembled at Whitehall,
and directed the bank to stop cash pay
ments. On Monday the merchants met

We have gravel roof on our house, and
the other day some workmen were up there
fixing it. They had block and tackle
rugged on the edge of the roof, with rope
reaching to the ground for the purpose Of
hosting the tar and gravel. Our girl went
out washing in the yard at the time, and
somehow the hook On the end of the rope
caught in her hoop-skirt as she walked past.
The man on the roof was discussing the
Darwinian theory, or the tax on rum, OIL
something at that moment, and seeing the
rope shake, he considered it was the sigma
to haul up, 50, without looking over the
edge, he began to wind the crank with We
locity. A moment later the next-door
neighbors heard fearful screams, and as they
rushed to the windows, they perceived an
athletic child of Erin swiftly ascending to-
ward the blue ethereal heavens.
The man at the crank fairly ached to look
over and see what the noise was about, but
he couldn't stop, he thought, until he got
the bucket at the top. But he put on more
vehemence, and in moment he was amazed
to see human head, adorned with red hair,
looming above the gutter spout. His first
impulse was 10 leC go Ine Crank ana run
But overcoming the earlier shock of fright,
he held on the crank with one hand, while
with the other he seized handful of warm
red hair, and hauled the owner upon the roof
We live in one Of the row of houses which
are joined together, and they do say that
the impetuosity with which that girl of ours
charged upon the man who mussed her hair .,
and chased him over the roof clear up to the
corner, where he saved himself by crawling
down the chimney fue, was at once i'm
pressive and exhilarating. She stood over
the chimney expressing her views concern
ing the youg mans present character and
future prospects until she was exhausted, i,
when she walked home to our roof, lifted
the trap-door, descended-and went to bed.
And when the man emerged and brushed
the SCOT off his face, he confined to his ccl-
league, while distributing the gravel, that
he would rather dive at once into the bowels
of burning volcano than to meet that hired
girl again in a place where there was no
chance to run.--Max Adeler.

SCHOOL STATISTICS.

Twas Saturday night and the teacher sat
Alone her task pursuing;
She averaged this and she averaged that
OF all that her class were doing.
She reckoned percentage, so many boys,
And so many girls, all counted,
And marked all the tardy and absentees,
And to what all the absentees amounted.
Names and residence wrote in full,
Over many columns and pages;
Yankee, Teutonic, African, Celt,
And averaged all their ages
The date of admission Of every one.
And cases of hagellation,
And prepared list of the graduates
For the coming examination.
Her weary head sunk low on her book,
And her weary heart still lower,
For some of her pupils had little brain,
And she could not furnish more.
She slept; she dreamed; it seemed she died
And her spirit went to Hades,
And they met her there with question fair,
" State what the per cent. of your grade is.'
Ages had slowly rolled away,
Leaving but partial traces,
And the teacher spirit walked one day
In the old familiar places.

And saw it was lined with figures.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

The story of the Bank of England is full
was founded by one of the most visionary
of projectors in the reign of William and
Mary, when the English Government hal
first assumed liberal form. An elective
King sat on the throne; new period of
progress was opening upon the nation. Yet
within a short time from its foundation the
bank was forced to suspend the payment of
specie, in the commercial crisis produced by
the reform of the coinage and the embar
rassments of Continental war 1t soon
resumed again, and passed successfully
through the disasters of the South Sea spec
ulation. When, in 1745, the Pretender and
the Highlandcrs advanced upon London,
the credit of the bank was again shaken,
and it was saved from suspension only by
paying its customers in shiings and six
perses, and winning an illegal delay. The
invaders were driven back; London was
saved; the panic passed away. From this
time the bank maintained its reputation
until England, at the close of the century,
had indiscreetly resolved to force back roy
atty upon unwilling France. The first vic
tories Of the French Republicans filled the
kingdom with disasters. A general ruin fell
upon the country banks in 1894 5. In 1876
the large advances which the Bank of Eng
land was forced to make to the Government
filled its directors with alarm. The gold
and silver of the country flowed away to
