The silver Question on the Pacific
Coast.

San Francisco Bulletin, July 10
When the depreciation OF silver Get in
our financial system responded to the
European quotations. There was moth.
ing else at that date to produce a depre-
citation, except in the case of the trade
dollar, which had been coined in excess
of local wants. But since then the ex-
pertinent of substituting silver for the
fractional currency at the East has been
commenced We have, as a consequence,
fallen under the commercial preponder
snee of that part of the country. The
law of supply and demand now comes to
US filtered through New York. The
proof is found in the fact that though
silver has fallen in a couple Of weeks
from 525 pence the ounce to 479 pence
something over 10 per cent.-the quota
tons for subsidiary silver coin have not
been greatly disturbed. They have re
NAMED during all this time at an aver
age discount Of 64 to G. This is about
the equilibrium between the two sections
Silver has been quoted in New York at ]
per cent. premium, which would make il
worth 800 cents-the average Of paper
money being S94. 1t takes about q pei
cent. to ship the silver to this citJ-thai
is to say, II freight and | for boxing and
other charges. That would bring up
Eastern silver to SO cents landed here.
The selling rates for the week have been
934 to 933.
There is, therefore, no trace to date OF
any effect produced by the late fall OF
silver to over 10 per cent. But it can
not long remain so. If there has been
any boarding of silver money, as Is
alleged, it will soon begin to make Its
appearance again. Silver is now com
mercially far below paper in value. The
tall in its price since the LIST OF January
has been nearly % per cent And this
for fine silver. The fall, of course, in
half dollars is greater, for they were
coined below their face value, and on
quarters and dimes still more for the
J same reason. AT present quotations, it
takes nearly 20 grains Of silver to buy
grain of gold. In May last the equation
was l6 "a for /; in 1864, l5 80 for in
1851, Is 46 for / in the first halt Of the
present century, 10 So for /; the ratio in
the seventeenth century was ISL for L
in the sixteenth century, IL 8 for l; in
the fifteenth century, IL % fer l.
We have here a total fall in silver in
375 years from IL rs grains for o Of
gold to nearly 20 for one. In all this
time the course of silver has been down
ward, with the single exception Of a few
years after the discovery Of gold in Cali
iornia and Australia.

sudden

From the Literature of Kissing.l
Its related of Curran, the famous
Irish orator and wit, that he was
one evening sitting in a box at the
French opera between an Irish
noblewoman whom he had accom-
panied there and a very young
French woman. The ladies soon
manifested a strong desire to con-
verse, but neither Of them knew a
word of the others language.
Curran, of course, volunteered to
interpret, or in his own words, ''to
be carrier of their thoughts, and
accountable for their safe deliver
ance." They went at it at once
with all the ardor and zest of the
Irish and French nature combined;
but the interpreter took the liberty
Of subtituting his own thoughts for
theirs, and instead of remarks upon
the dresses and the play, he intro
duced so many timely turned COM
pliments that the two ladies soon
became completely infatuated with
each other. At last, their enthu-
siasm becoming sufficiently great,
the willy interpreter in conveying
some very innocent questions from
his countrywoman, asked the
French lady "if she would favor
her with a kiss" Instantly spring
ing across the orator, she imprinted
a kiss on each cheek Of the Irish
lady, who was amazed at her sudden
attack, and often afterward asked
Mr.. Curran, "What in the world
could that French girl have meant
by such conduct in such a place %
He never revealed the secret, and
the Irish lady always thought
French girls were very ardent and
sudden in their attachments.

A Romantic widows Mistake.
From a New York letter.

Among King Henry's George
Rignold's) admirers was a rich
young widow of Fifth avenue.
Every evening this infatuated de-
votee ATTENDED Booths, and regu-
larly engaged all the lower stage
boxes, so that no hated rival could
be so near the adored object as she.
This ran on until one day she pre-
sented herself at Business Manager
Flanigan's office. "Sir," said she,
her face crimson with bushes, 81
will give you five hundred dollars
to be allowed to stand in one of the
stage balconies in the Entry of
London scene for a week" The
matter-of-fact Flanagan assented,
and the money was paid. 1t was
arranged that the lady should come
every night, with the requisite dress
under her cloak. AT a certain mo-
ment she left her box, waved her
scarf with the rest during the pro-
cession, and then retired. On the
sixth evening her maid was re-
placing her wraps in the box, when
the door was flung open, and Harry
of England clanked min his armor.
"Are you Mrs. -?" His wor-
shipper faltered out an assent.
"And did you give Flanagan five
hundred dollars to let you stand in
the balcony" 81 did," ~reverently
murmured the widow. "Deyil take
your simple head why didn't you
give it mel" and the door slammed
after the hero like ono Of the can
mons at Harfeur. The sequel was
a reluctant and ilIiberal "divy" by
Flanagan.

The Marrow seat-DEeAdTu I ChAnge
in a Young Mans IneltnatiOns.
Waco PatrOn.l
Sometime ago there lived in our
city a young gentleman and lady,
who, for convenience sake, We will
call Ned and Kitty. They were
frequently seen together exhibiting
unmistakable evidences Of tender
attachment which were fast leading
them toward the vortex of matri-
mony.
Buggy riding was a fayorite pas
time with the young lovers, and
there was scarcely a woodland glen
or a prairie flower for miles around
here that did not, at some time,
witness their happy love-making
as they rode by, or stopped a mo-
ment to bill and COO and exchange
vows.
When the young man wanted a
buggy, he invariably wrote about as
follows to the livery man:
MR. Nc: Please send the narrow
seated buggy to my door at five
o'clock pm, and Oblige, yours,
NED.
P. S.-If you can't send the mar
r~Ow-seated buggy, don't send any.
NED.
In the course of time they were
married, and a few weeks aft, the
event transpired Ned presented
himself at Mes Office and told him
that he wished to take Mrs. Ned to
the country for a few days recrea-
ton, and desired him to get ready
a buggy.
Cali right, old boy; Pm glad to
see you round again, and l can let
you have your faVorite buggy"
(Which ?"
"Why, the narrow-seated rig, Of
course"
"Never mind it, Nc; that one
will do" and he pointed to a buggy
that two persons might have sat in
!. with a yards space between them.

whistles for a policeman, and hur-

to see a coat-tail disappearing over
the fence. Then he begins to
realize the situation.

Quite a heavy rain fell yesterday ten

The Burial of Dead sultans.

London Times.l
A correspondent at Constantinople re-
ports a conversation with one who has
long been a resident there, and who has
an intimate acquaintance with Turkish
lite and manners. He says: And how
are the SuItans buried2' | asked. II
will tell you" was the reply, what was
told me by a Turk among Turks-one
who knew and would tell the truth. The
dead Sultans have always been buried
like dogs, The great thing is to get rid
altogether Of the idea OF a dead Sultan;
for never was there a people among
whom is so literally carried out the idea
that lie Roi de meurt pas When it is
| quite certain hat a Sultan is about to
die, those round him hardly wait for the
breath to leave the body. Most Of them
run away to be ready to do homage
to the new occupant OF the
throne. Then follows an odd arrange
ment. All homage is due to the living
