London Cor. y. y. sun.
In Great Britain everybody, approx
lmately speaking, drinks wine, ale or beer
women and children 10. excepted A
very large majority OF the Eng lish people
look upon ale and beer rs being quite as
necessary part os their living "a tea and
cutiae-and as beng quite rs legitimate.
In the United States drinks that Will
iltoxicsLe have been nearly banlshed
rom good soclery, except in fashionable
circles and among the lower strata OF
the peUp.e. In England man VINO
does not drink is au oddly. Abstinence
is looked upon as u wnim; tew can detect
in IL real principle.
When the temperance people get to-
getuer they do indeed make fair mus
Ter, but when they have dispersed, and
all gone hither and thither TO their
homes they are few and far apart Near
~ All lamiues keep a jug OF beer or ale
~ the house, and hi partake daily.
When the jug 8 empty, the wife or
daughter thinks no.hInS OF running into
the public house Tor anew supply.
IL the United States our drinking
places or salons" (tuey are never call
rd saloons in Great BrItain) are mostly
places where woman is rarely seen,
and where men are often ashamed to be
seen. The English pubic house IS COM
paraliyely respectable. The occupation
Is itself considered reputable, and the
most attractive house fronts IN almost
any business street, are those OF the pubht
houses. Wnhln, theY contrast very
isvorably with other places OF business,
and the tidy, good looking b@rmaids are

AN ELOPEMENT.
The Beautiful Bride Hugs Her Re-
IentIess Papa on. the StreeI.
New Orleans Democrat.

New Orleans Democrat.
1t occurred in the First District very
recently. They loved one another fond
ly. He is said to be handsome. AS to
the bride, sno is a beautiful brunette,
whose eyes sparkle like black diamonds,
and with a mouth that would satiate q
swarm OF bees, and waist winch has
become proverbial among all those who
know her-and withal, she has the be-
nign countenance of saint. Why the
old man would not consent to the union
we have not been informed.
tie has money Mayhap the BRIDE
groom has very little, but bride like
his is worth q fortune. So one day they
sought the services Of minister and
were made one flesh, and there was q
vacant chair at the old mans breakfast
table next, morning.
They were living very happy at one OF
our hotels, their bright honeymoon being
shaded only by a little cloud-tne want
of u reconciliation with pGteJtGmaLiGS
who remained obstinate ard inheXIble
notwithstanding the touching appeals ot
his daughter.
One evening last week-Thursday, we
belleve-as the new couple were prom
enading OIL Canal street admlrlng the
woudroas display of the toy shops, the
daughter spied her father leaning against
one OF the versndsh posts at the corner
Of Royal, and suddenly leaving her
young husbands arm, dashed toward her
parent, and clinging TO his neck, lavish
cd upon his fearful cheeks hundred
sweet and overwhelming kisses. Not a
ord was spoken, ana the trio walked
away silently, leaving an astonlshed
crowd TO form their conjectures about
the curious scanse.

A Mules Hind-feat.

Highland Record.
One day last week a deer was chased
from the mountain into Jackson's river
near White Sulphur Springs, closely FOL.
lowed by pack OF hounds. The deer eros
ed the river a,d jumped into field near
by, belonging to a. 7. Stevenson, Esq.
A small mischievous mule was grazing
in the field and as soon as he spied the
deer, took up the chase, followed II close
ly until the fence on tho opposite side
was reached, which the deer attempted
to clear, but failed and fell to the ground
whereupon the mule struck it with its
fore feet and held it there until the dogs
came up and captured it. The
leat was witnessed by several respect
able gentlemen of Jackson's river who
will testify to the fact.

A disguised and satirical Athenian once
stood up in the Legislative assembly OF that
State and made formal proposal that q law
should be enacted declaring that asses are
horses. The particular absurdity which
he undertook to expose by that motion was
not whit more grotesque than the attempt
now making in Congress to enact that ninety
cents worth Of silver shall be dollar.
Waving the scientific objections to
double standard Of value, it is obvious that
the idea of two standards is preposterous
unless, at the time they are established,
they are at par or very nearly at
par with each other. If in law
fixing the standard of weights and measures
it should be gravely enacted ordaining that
gallon, or that thirty inches and thirty-six
inches shall be equally yard, the lawmak-
ing power would be hooted for its confusing
defiance of common sense. The standard
coin Of country being the measure OF
other values it ought to have all the steadi-
ness attainable If gold is to be standard
and silver is also to be q standard the coin
age in the two metals should be so adjusted
that the market value of the metal in the
one should be equal to the market value OF
the metal in the other at the time the COIN
age law is passed. Otherwise it is like u
law declaring that asses are horses.
The pending Silver bill enacts that
412 1-2 grains of standard silver shall be
dollar, repeating tho provision of the
statute OF 1887, which prescribed that
amount of silver as the equivalent of a gold
dollar. That law was passed in january,
1887, when the price of silver, rs measured
by gold, was GO 3-8 pence per ounce. The
silver quotation cabed from London yestef-
day showed that the present price of silver,
as measured by gold, is SO 3-4 pence per
ounce. The Alp IL grains of standard
silver which Congress is asked to stamp as
a dollar is to-day worth shade less than
ninety cents. 1t is simply ridiculous to
propose that we shall have one dollar worth
ninety cents and another dollar worth a
hundred cents, and that they shall be
equally standard for measuring all other
values. 1t would be more consistent to re-
duce the gold standard ten per cent. This,
indeed, would be equally dishonest toward
the public creditors, but it would avoid the
confusion and absurdity of two widely diff
ferent standards. Is there anybody brazen
enough to advocate debasement Of
the gold standard by coming eagles
containing only nine dollars worth of gold
and making them full tender for the dis
charge of gold debts CONTRACTED under the
present standard? But there is precisely
the same dishonesty, the same fraud, in au-
thorizing gold debt of thousand dollars
to be discharged by tender of nine hun
dred dollars worth of silver.
