Shamed Him.
Austin (Tex.0 Gazette.

A woman, who apparently hailed
from the rural districts, followed her
liege lord into bar-room recently. She
wanted to shame him from taking a
smile, by first ordering one for herself.
She laid down 81 bill, and said that
she would take sugar in hers" Her
husband said he would take some of
the same, and she drained her glass
like topper and called for another, and
that seemed to tickle her palate so
that she continued to call for drinks.
Her husband seemed to be shocked
but took a glass every time the wife
did, saving that he would not be out
done by any woman, much less bis own
frau. After drinking several glasses
they staggered out on the sidewalk.
She popped herself on the top Of q
barrel, but he chose the pavement for
seat, as that required no exertion to
reach. And there they sat, both per
fectly under the influence Of too much
fre-water, lovely, free-and-easy pair.

Yer coins are to be substituted in place
of the fractional currency, they should
be made heavier than the old silver
coins, because the quantity of silver
which was worth dollar, ten or twenty
years ago, is not worth a dollar now.
So of the smaller coins, it takes more
silver now to represent their nominal
value than it did when those coins were
first authorized by law The difference
is great, and it should be recognized in
putting out a new issue of silver, by
making the coins really worth the value
that is marked on their faces.
