De repente ell espanto Sc apacigua,

Lie repente Ell espanto Sc apacigua,
IN murmullo de satisfaction circula

rostro serene y la cabeza sana. La

macion de algeria:
-iQue fortuna! Use ha roto una

Hay otra fortuna, que es moder-
ma, fortuna que Sc hereda, que SO

malgasta.
Fortuna cuyo temple es la bolsa:
su vida la speculation: 81 miste-
rio, ell negocio. Fortuna irresistible
que al fin ha vencido q la otra for

La fortuna de Cesar, de Napoleon,
de Newton, la fortuna antigua ha
tenido que refugiarse como sus uni

The Lewiston journal has the fol-
lowing Just comments upon Mr.. Bland :
silver bill, which has just passed the
House of Representatives. This bill
makes The silver dollar of Az ~ grains
iull legal tender for all debts. public
and private, except where otherwise pro
vided by contract. The Journal says
IAN attempts to amend the bill so as
to restrict the amount OF silver coinage
as in France, or so as to limit The legal
tender quality to small amounts, failed /;
and the bill has been sent 10 the Senate.
The impression is that the bill will be 50
amended in the Senate as to prevent some
OF the evil consequences OF attempting
to maintain two dollar standards OF value
one (gold) worth one hundred cents.
and the other (silver) only ninety-one
cents. The inevitable effect of such a
measure would be to Danish gold coin
from the country, give US money basis
less stable than that of other commercial
nations, reduce our dollar standard about
eight per cent. and thus place US at dis
advantage with the great commercial
nations of the world whose standard of
value is gold. From The nature OF The
case there can be only one real standard
OF value in any nation, although there
may be more than one kind OF money.
If The law OF any country attempts to get
up two standards, that OF less value will
become the actual standard, and the other
will be Withdrawn from circulation. The
practical effect OF the Bland bill would
be to Danish gold coin and give us only
silver. s. long as gold is the standard
OF the commercial nations with whom
we compete, it is obviously our interest
to maintain the same basis. II we use
silver coin to greater extent than is con-
venient for "change," then the silver dol
lar should be increased in weight so as
to make it worth as much as gold dol
lar"

a band of tramps robbed freight
train on the Pennsylvania railroad at
Westchester Junction, Saturday night,
and fired on the employees who tried to
rescue the property. Subsequently more
railroad hands arrived, and at two o'clock
Sunday morning, raided on the camp of
the tramps in the wood. where they were
shaking dice for the spoils. A fight en-
sued and two railroad men were badly in.
jured. Four tramps were also shot and
wounded, and with - others were cap
tured, locked in a freight ear and guard
ed.
Between one thousand and fifteen hun
dred tramps are wandering through the
country traversed by the Pennsylvania
Railroad between Drownington and Pitts
burg. A large number Of train plumber
ers were arrested and severely punished
by the courts, but this does not seem to
abate the outlawry, and outrages are more
numerous and fragrant than ever.
Two trains were boarded and stopped
near Lewiston Sunday morning, and only
after a desperate resistance Of the con-
ductor and assistants the would be train
robbers were driven off.

SINCE the conviction of Cong ressman
Smalls of South Carolina the Democratic
papers have been investigating his history
and find that his career OF crime began
during the war The first downward step
was taken, they say. when he made his
escape from slavery by stealing rebel
boat and running it through the lines OF
the Union army. Heretofore this has
been held TO be one of the heroic deeds
of the war. but in the era of "concilition"
il is held a crime. One OF the best Dem
ocra,ic journals, the Hartford Times, says
of it: mo matter whether his master
was violating law by his rebellion, the
act of Smalls 10 running away with the
vessel was not in the line of lawful acts
or moral conduct" In view OF this doc
trine Gen. Grant will perhaps be wise to
remain in Europe, for il he returns they
will have him arrested for robbing the
states of Mississippi and Virginia of the
cities OF Vicksburg and Petersburg. No
matter whether these states were violat-
ing law by their rebellion. the act oil
Grant in taking the cities was not accord
ing to the new Interpretation, in the line
of lawful acts or moral conduct.-PreSs.

-THEoDoR CHRIsTLIEB, the German
theologian who figured so conspicuously
at the meeting of the Evangelical alliance
in New York few nights since, has dis
covered that the spirit of Christ" has de-
parted from us, and he has great fear for
the future of this nation. As evidence
of our fallen state, the only evidence too
that he presents, he declares that he has
seen a man come home and find his wife
sitting in the best chair in the room, and
not only did she not rise to get his dress
ing gown and slippers, but she did not rise
at all. The married man had to take
the second-best chair. This is dreadful.
Unfortunately there is too much reason to
believe it is true. Indeed there are cases
on record where the wife has refused to
get up first in the morning and build
the fire, and has even compelled her hus-
band to split the kindlings, Whittier are
we drifting? The question is serious
one, to which there seems to be no solution
except the profound one advanced by the
accomplished German. Certainly "reform
is necessary."-Press.
