Interesting Facts About Gold and
Silver.

A correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce writes to paper:
An interesting question recently rose
with much display of ignorance, as TO
the value of gold produced since its
first discovery. and the value now ex-
listing. say in coin and bullion, and in
plate. the arts. etc, and as 70 what is the
estimated loss beyond recovery? The
same also as to silver

Humboldt Is the best authority on that
point. a few years ago Mr.. Senior made
a careful computation of all the coin in
the world of bouh metals, ald gave the
result at about two thousand million
sterling, or say ten Thousand million
dollars silver coin in use wastes, ac-
cording to British authorities about five
shillings, aud gold about Que shilling
three pence per cent. per amum. The
annual loss by wear of coin has been es-
timated by standard authorities at ten
million, dollars per anum. The annual
use of gold and silver for ornamental
purposes has been given 1t between
seventy and one hundred million dollars,
but no inconsiderable p5rton of this
comes from the fusion Of dd plate.

4 Picture of Russia.

4 few words on the condition of Rus
sian peasantry, who constitute three
fourths of the whole population, may not
be uninteresting. A traveller cannot
traverse the country without having
forced upon him the conviction that the
condition ofthe peasantry is most deplor-
able. In all Of the rural districts, and
some of the places called towns, the
homes Of the people are low, miserable
looking wood shanties, surrounded by
the evidences of only a semi-civiiiStion
The war enabled Us to to see the peasants

nearly every station. awaiting transpo,

Almost every man was dressed in a rough,

completes the picture of
people whose condition is apparently the
lowest in Europe. These are the mil
lions formerly known rs serfs, and though
they have been emaucipated, their free
dom Is "a yet only nominal. The execu
tiou of the emancipation act eutailed
such a heavy financial burden on the
government through compensaJing land
owners. that the serfs are required to
repay the enormous sum before they can
leave their respective communes. Tn
der the plan now being pursued, the al
ready impoverished serfs can scarcely
Iiquidate the debt in less than fifty years.
IN addition to this burden they have an
other equally generous one on their slender

monk or nun is stationed at every shrine
to solicit contributions OF money for can

TINS HUMBUG AGE.-We notice that
in number OF the Northern States,
that workingmen's Conventions have
been held and tickets put in the field
for the various offices to be filled. The
folly Of this step would be elaborated
if the bankers, or owners of real estate
would adopt similar programme.
Then we would have dose of confu.
sion sufficient to satisfy every malcon.
tent. But will this state OF things
furnish work for tho unemployed, or
bread for the hungry No Precisely
the reverse. ltwas decreed thousands
of years ago that man must work, and
his physical organization demands that
he be employed at least ten hours out
of every twenty-four to constitute him
truly happy. Those OF the race who
propose to avoid this law, and expect
to have plenty and enjoy prosperity,
will be disappointed. The doom Of
man is: He must either work, beg, or
steal. Reader, which class do you pre-

A CYCLONE

The great bridge which spans the
Missouri river, between Council Bluffs
and Omaha, was struck by a cyclone
on Saturday morning the 25th inst, and
two spans turned upside down into the
river. The bridge was built in 1872.
Those who were fortunate enough to
hear the rapid advance OF the storm
cloud which brought so much dcstruc.
tion and spent its fury, it might be said.
in a second, tell this story The roar
of heavy wind was heard in direc.
ton bearing little east of north. and
apparently coming out of quarter ly.
ing along theriveras it leaves Omaha to
the northeast. The noise momentari-
ly grew heavier, and the breeze which
had been blowing all the night sud.
denly ceased, and all was quiet while
on and on marches what was then
known to be the terrible tornado. lt
now appears quite evident that the at
mospheric oommotion was high above
the country during its flight, and when
the sudden fall Of the river embank-
ment was reached it swooped down in
its course, spread havoc in its path,
and as suddenly lifted itself again
above the surrounding country to waste
its strength upon the unresisting air.
Within few moments after the first
sound was heard the gigantic blow was
struck. As the tornado met the sur
face of the Missouri river it is said the
waters were tossed and scattered and
cleft IN twain, much as were those off
the Red Sea when Moses made his eel
ebrated march before the irate Egyp. |
tians. The waters were beaten into
foam and piled high on either side Of
the track of the storm, which was
very narrow.
With lightning like rapidity the at.
mosphcrio monster struck two Of the
spans of the Uuion Pacific railroad
bridge and lifted the massive iron su.
perstructure off the piers. The wrought
iron strngers and columns were twist
ed and bent like SO many pieces of
paper in the hands of child, wrench.
ed from their resting place and plung.
cd partly into the river and partly
against the steep embankment. These
destroyed spans were each two hun.
dred and fifty feet in length. The
spans destroyed were ut the eastern
terminus of. the bridge, resting upon
the Iowa shore.

A NOBLE TRIO.

With John Turnkey, of Franklin
Yenango county; William P. Schell, Of
Bedford, Bedford county, and Amos
G. Noyes, of Westrort, Clinton county,
the Democracy of Pennsylvania will
sweep the field this fall. Three better
men for the respective positions for
which they have been named were
never before the people of our State.
A glance at the State map shows their
peculiar triangular location in q geo.
graphical sense, besides the varied 10 :
Dor interests they represent. Our nom
inee for Judge halls from the centre
of the oil regions, and the nominee for
Auditor General resides in the midst
of a great coal and iron section of the
State, while the nominee for Treasurer
lives in the heart of the greatest lum-
Der and coal region in the State. These
three gentlemen are the embodiment
OF Law, Labor and Finance. Each fully
the particular wants of
their sections and know how, and are
willing to adjust public affairs, if given
the power, soas to restore our paralyz-
cd business, and furnish labor for the
thousands who have been made idle
through the mismanagemcnt of our
affairs. Therefore, let those who do
sire a change in the policy of our
State affairs mako common cause with
our nominees, so that the CONNER
cial and business interests of the ooun.
try may take new departure and
thereby remove the embargo which
chills the furnace, stops the saw mills,
closes coal mines and awards starva-
lion wages to the laborcr. Voters, rc-
