the Indian and his pony The confident

party started out to the country, and,
ON reaching The spot where the deer lay,
the men saw the body oil an Indian by

ELEMENTS OF discord are once more
observable in Spain. The presence oil
the two Ex-Queens, Christina and Isa-
bella, has developed intrigues OF not a
very honorable character and yet with
very mischief making tendencies. The
aim of each of those intriguantes is SIM
ply to get her hands into the public
treasury. They want money. To get
this, they must win over certain men,
bers of the government. And to this
end all their intrigues are directed. But
Spain is poor, and money is hard to
raise. The young King needs all he can
get for carrying on his government and
supporting his royalty. On top OF these
royal intrigues comes the question OF
federation; and the prerogatives of the
priesthood as to churches and schools
are also called In question. Amid all
these troublesome complications are
heard the mutterings of a red commun-
ism, the people groaning over the bur-
dens they are compelled to bear, until
evolution seems the only avenue OF re-
heI' rls-a is danger OF further trouble

A Hundred Years to Decide a Bet.
TFrom the Pjttsburg Dispatch,7

By private letter from Germany the
following facts regarding singular and
novel wager are communicated: Two
wealthy and influential Berlin bankers,
desiring to provide for their children's
heirs, and fearing that through disas-
trous reverses they might become poor,
and therefore be unable to do SO, have
made a wager concerning the United
states. The one bet 8, 900 marks Ga mark
Is equal to about % cents of our money }
that the United States will not remain a
republic, but advance to higher know
ledge of the arts and sciences; while the
other just as confident OF winning as the
other, of course, bets 1000 marks that
our country will remain a .repuOlic all
the time intervening between this aud
the second Centennial, bat will not re-

Turkish GreenbacISs.

In order to meet the financial eXigen-
cies of the war in which she Is now en-
gagged, Turkey has docreed the issue of
paper money of the Government to the
amount of 100000 900 piastres, equal
to $13 636, 900. The edict under
which this issue of paper money
is to be made is not unlike the law regu-
Iating the issue and use OF cur green
back currency, from which it seems to
have been derived. 1t provides that
special contracts made payable in any
designated money shall be binding as
between the parties. 1t limits the issue
to fixed sum, being the sum above
named. 1t is to be stamped with the
government seal AS authenticity of its
genuineness. 1t will be received at par
in payment of all dues to the govern
ment, except customs and charges for
telegraphing, which are to be paid in
silver as heretofore. A sinking fund is
to be established for its ultimate re-
demption. 1t is to be legal tender in
the absence of express stipulation to the
contrary.
The plates for this currency are now
being prepared from some cid plates
furnished some years ago, but which
had not been used. The people do not
relish the proceeding; but there is nc
help for it. The Sultan can no longer
borrow money on his bonds, and he is
compelled to take this method OF effect
| ing a forced loan from his subjects
| Already prices of commodities have ad.
vanced, and silver is boarded on all
hands. 1t is doubtful whether this loan
Will ever be repaid by redemption Of
these bills. The Turks are not very
ceremonious on the matter of repudia
tion under any circumstances, and par
Jicularly SO when their subjects are the
creditors of the Government.

THE examination made by Gen. New
ton of the condition of the He'll Gate
reef since the explosion goes to SIGNIFY
that the demolition of that ancient rocky
obstruction is complete; and that moth
ing now remains but to free the channel
OF the broken fragments of the once
solid wall of granite that projected from
Hallets Point into the East River.
This, however, will be work of no
small magnitude. The whole vast struc-
ture, though shattered and broken
by the terrific blnst of fifty thou
sand pounds of dynamite, nevertheless
remains beneath the waters of the chan
mel. Much of this will doubtless be
found in huge masses, whose removal
will be necessary and the work tedious.
The chief resistance, however, having
now been overcome, the completion Of
the great undertaking is secured; and
what remains to be done involves no
more than the application of ordinary
means to finish the wonderful work.

THE POPE's HEALTH.-A French ply
sician, vino has just been received by
the Pope, thus reports to the Roman
correspondent of the Paris Univers:
"The Pope is healthy and vigorous;
has no disease. All his organs are in
perfect harmony, and his countenance,
voice and gesture are those of a man
sixty five, not of eighty-fve. He Can,
and even should, apart from the unfore-
seen accidents, 1--we thus ten years
more" .l.. . .. a
The Univers, on the other hand, is pro-
foundly silent as to Cardinal Antonelli,
and this goes to confirm the belief that
he is in hopeless state.

THE SILVER CoMMIssIoN.-It will be
that just before the ad-
iournment of Congress Committee was
appointed to, investigate, consider, and
report upon the question of the use OF
silver as coined money in this country,
and as u legal tender in common with
gold. That Commission has commenced
its preliminary work by the selection Of
experts to assist in their investigation.
We are pleased to see that Hon. WIN.
GRoEsBECK, Of Cincinnati, is among
those named from whom the three eX-
perts are to be chosen.
Letters of inquiry have been ad.
dressed to European Governments re-
lating to the proportions OF gold and
silver used in their coinage and cur.
rency, as we'll as concerning their
special legislation relating to monetary
affairs. The discussions already had
among the members of the Commission
do not look favorably to the restora'
tion Of silver to its former
position in our monetary system. But
perhaps these are by no means the tina
conclusions of the Commission upon
that point. 1t would be strange if they
were, being made in advance of theil
investigation. Nor would it matter
much it they were, as the chief function
of the Commission is to collect facts
and data; and whatever may be thei
own opinion, the sense of the peopl,
must ultimately be taken on the ques
| tion.

The managers of the New York State
Fair lost money this year, ana men who
bought the privilege of selling certain
articles were not repaid for their ven-
lures. The chief cause of the loss was
The placing of the admission fee at 80
cents. Hundreds OF farmers who had
come with their teams many miles re-
fused to pay the price demanded and re-
turned home. On the last day the price
was reduced to 20 cents, but this action
was too late TO be of much benefit.
