The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1875-11-24

the recent financial disturbance on the
Pacific Coast, where gold constitutes the
circulating medium, aud by the tenn
porary interruption of the supply OF
bullion from the largest producing
mines of the country, caused by the
destruction by fire OF hosting and
other works OF those mines. VI the
silver market, the result thus far has
been satisfactory, and will no doubt
continue to be in future, aid no de-
probation in the value OF legal tender
notes has taken place. On the
contrary, the average value Of paper
currency has been larger than ut any
time since the passage Of the act. Not
withstanding the fact that about 500,
600 of legal tender notes have been
withdrawn aud cancelled, the grad
ual contraction of legal tender notes
and moderate revival OF business will,
1t is probable, 10y the time the neces-
sary stock of silver to commence the
redemption can be prepared, reduce
the gold premium to such point as to
insure the success of the measure.
The depreciation of United States legal
tender notes, which commenced soon
after their issue took place,
caused silver to be exported, and rem
dered the employment of substitute
necessary. The issue of fractional
notes was undoubtedly preferable to
the debasement OF silver coin, but their
permanent use is neither desirable nor
practicable. Tie annual issue has
been about $36, 600. 900, and circula-
ton of from 10000, 900 to 45, coo, 900
shows the average life of the notes to
be fifteen months. The report further
gives some Interesting statistics regard
ing the handling Of fractional notes.
To state the causes of the increase OF
gold premium, or decrease in the value
of United States notes, would involve
d review of the condition of the yari-
Gus industries of the country, its
finances, our foreign Indebtedness, etc.
1t may be stated, however, that some
of the causes may be regarded as OF
temporary character, and that certain
contingencies connected with tue
money market aud gold supply have
tended to make it SO. The total cost
of maintaining 1t Is equal to about five
per cent. Of the annual issue. The
total expense attending the manufac-
ture of the coinage OF the last fiscal
year was $50, $40, or about sixteen per
cent. of the expense of tue manufac-
ture of the fractional currency. Prob
ably 80 years would elapse before any
considerable proportion of new issue
of silver coins would diminish in weight
sufficiently to require their Withdrawal.
The gain to the Treasury in silver coin
will be from 10 to II per cent, being
more than sufficient to detray the necet-
sary expenses of coinage, distribution
and maintenance.

THE royal family of England is said
to be little mixed in its religion.
Queen Victoria dislikes the Ritualists.
and delights in simple form of wor-

contrary. enjoys the forms of the
church whenever he attends, which
is very seldom. His eldest sister is a
Lutheran. Lord Lorne is Presby-
terrain. The Duchess of Edinburgh
is a member of the Greek Church, and
her husband is low Church Episco-
palian.

LUCY LARCoM began to write verses

Lucy LARCoM began to write verses
at the age of seven years, and an
amusing blunder occurred when one of
her earliest pieces was published. The
editor intended to say that they were
written under the inspiration of the
muses., "a word that by the use of
the wrong types was transformed into
i" nurses" much to the amusement of
those who knew her age at the time.

President Wilson met at the State De-
partment at 10 O'Clock this morning,
Senator Thurman presiding in the alb
sence of Senator Boutwell,, who will be
here tomorrow. Mr.. Randall, who
arrived this morning, attended the
meeting. After an hours discussion it
was decided that the funeral should
take place on Saturday next, if agree

and the remains shall lay in state in
independence Hall at Philadelphia,
when en- route for their last resting
place in the native State of deceased.
A subcommittee, consisting of Thur
man and Garfield of Ohio, and Warren
of Massachusetts,, was appointed TO
confer with the delegation of Massa-
chusetts, consisting of General Gielan
and Cunningham, Governor CASTOR
and two members of the Boston Council,
who were to arrive here on an express
train at p. NJ. The funeral pro-
gramme will probably be arranged this
evening.
On Saturday night last Vice-Presi-
dent Wilson said he felt severely his
trouble and pain at the back of the
brain, aud remarked that he must have
more decisive treatment. On Sunday
he said ." If the doctor was here, I
would have a blister applied to the
back of my head" Wood, an attend
ant, offered to apply it; but Mr.. Viii
son said 1--WE don't want to take the
responsibility" He was greatly at

When Boyden entered, Wilson said,
I'm bright looking boy this morn

his rapid convalescence, that he had
made preparations to ride yesterday
evening.
His story of " The Rise and Fall of
Slave Power, is, of course unfinished.
Only sixteen pages of the third volume
are known to be ready.
Obsequies will probably be deferred
until the assembling of Congress.

FORCE OF IMAGINATION.

An esteemed friend of ours, says
the Burlington Hawkeye, heard OF
the medical properties of a certain
spring some distance from where she
resided She had read pamphlet
that enumerated many diseases, from
which she recognized at least halt a
dozen with which she was afflicted.
To her great Joy she was told that
her son had to call at the very town
where the spring was located and a
five gallon keg and strict injunction
were laid upon him to bring back
some of the water.
The key was pat in the wagon,
and, slipping under the seat, was
quite forgotten. He had got near
home in the evening, when, feeling
down under the seat for something
his hand struck the keg. lie there
fore drew up his horses by the side
of wall, near which was the old
sweep we'll from which the family
had drank for century, and filling
the key, went home. The first ques-
ton put to him was:
"Did you get that water 7"
eyes," said he, "but darned it
see any difference in it from any
other water" And forthwith the
key was brought in.
A cup was handed to the invalid
who drank with infinite relish, ant
said she was surprised at her son moi
seeing a difference. There was un
doubtsdIy a medical taste about it
and it dried up as other water did
which she had always heard of min
eral water.
Her son hoped it would do heI
some good, and by the time the key
was exhausted she was ready to Civ
a certificate of the value of the wa
ter, it having relieved her of all he
numerous ills.

FIVE HUNDRED SHOTS A MINUTES
A New CANNON.--A machine
gun was exhibited and tested ycster
day in the Twenty second Regimen
Armory, in New York. Mr.. vii
lard B. Farewell, the inventor, oper,
ator and explained his invention
Among those who saw the expert
ment were Col. John +. Gowan and
Col. Knox, of the Ordinance Bureau,
Col. Porter, and many other officers
Of the National Guard. Mr.. Fare.
wells invention consists of ten steel
barrels, Of twenty five calibre, ar
ranged exactly parallel to each 9TH
er, in metallic frame. From centre
to centre of the outer barrel is three
feet Eachlbarr0l is charged separate
ly from magazine containing fifty
rounds of ammunition.
The charging, firing, and extrac.
ton Of exploded shells are all accom-
plishsd by the turning of one crank :,
at each revolution of which the whole
ten barrels are discharged, emptied
and reloaded. With relays of mag
azines five hundred shots can be
fired a minute. A system of cog
wheels connects the frings crank
with a traverse, and each turn of the
crank traverses the exact width Of
the target. Thus the gun is auto
matte in this particular, designed to
pick off line of battle in regular
detail. lis points of difference from
the Calling gun are in the simulta-
neous loading and firing of ten bar.
rels, the latter loading each barrel
through the same magazine aperture
and firing but one shot at time.
Mr.. Farewell had only one maga>
zine at the trial yesterday, so the
actual rapidly of fire attained was
not demonstrated. The fifty shots
contained by that one magazine,
however, were several times fired
in six seconds. The appearance of
the target after the firing, all the
rhots having struck at about tie
heish! Of mau'S breast, showed
how irresistibly destructive such a
weapon would be in a street fight or
in resisting a charging army.

RUNNING away from injunctiOns
is not novel trick in New York,
but Fox, the well known "Humpty
Dumpty" pantomimist, has led the
court officers an unusually long
chase. Ten months ago a theatre
lessee procured an injunction re-
straining Fox from appearing in
public in his professional character,
the ground of the action being that
Fox had violated contract. Since
then Fox has played all over the
country, coming occasionally within
the jurisdiction of the New York
courts. Whenever he did so the Of
fcers would get after him, but he
eluded them with the cleverness of
his four~footed namesake, at one
time turning a somersault out Of a
back window while they were guard
ing all the doors of New York the
atre to catch him after he left the
stage. At last, however, he was
trapped in Brooklyn on Monday
night. A deputy sheriff, disguised
as a common laborer, applied at the
theatre for work just before Fox
came upon the stage. He was TAX
en- on, and once inside, made short
cut for the dressing room, and shov-
ed the writ into Humty Dumpty'i
hand, who was fairly cornered a
last.
