silver one, let law be passed authorizing in
clear terms a gold bond. If others prefer a
silver bond let another law authorize silver
bond. Then we shall have gold bond, a
silver bond and the bonds at present author
lied payable in either silver or gold, at the
option of the governm mt.
All that is required of governments in
financial matters is strict, absolute, unvary-
ing integrity-leaning neither to the creditor
nor to the debtor class.
The ratio between gold and silver varies
every century; but the necessity of both for
money has for 1000 years been constant
quantity, and will remain such. 1t is wise
for US to recognize these facts and act on
them without further delay.

recovery will begin. There will no longer
be any use to hoard money; the future will
not be uncertain There will be an increase
of invested means, an increase of consump-

There will be an expansion of actual money
a revival of industry; more land will be put
under cultivation, more stores rented, more
furnaces and mills in operation, more people
at work, more monev in general circulation,

The question of negro suffrage is looming
up at the Cape of Good Hope. In British
South Africa the majority of colored men is
so great that the country has to be compared
to India or Ceylon, rather than to the south
ern American states. When once the Kaffir
shall have learned what voting means, there
will be no withstanding him, should the
system of voting which now prevails in the
Cape Colony be extended over a South
African confederation. There can be no
doubt that the condition of the race has
been infinitely improved by the coming of
the white man; but, were it put to the vote
to morrow among the Kaffirs whether the
white man should be banished out of South
Africa or retained, there can be no doubt
that the entire race would go for Danish
ment.

Twenty Thousand Dollars Exhumed.
IVIcksburg Herald

Some time during the last week in Decem-
Der there was received at the United States
treasury, Washington city. from Vicksburg,
an old tin box. which had been buried in the
ground a number of years by the owner, and
lately exhumed by him, containing $4,000
in the first issue of the government green
backs and national bank notes. The money
had become so rusted by contact with the
box and affected by mildew as to be in great
danger of dropping to pieces. and was conse-
quently forwarded to the United States
treasury for redemption. The exchange for
good money has been msde.

Accident.

A gentleman was lately thrown from his buggy
in Harlem New York, and received a severe spran
of his left ankle besides other bruises. Before he
could reach his residence his ankle and foot were
30 swollen his boot had to be cut from his foot
Failing to get the immediate attention of ply
sician, some one suggested Ponds Extract to re-
leve the intense pain with which he was suffering.
The relief was so prompt and eifectual that when
his family physician arrived it was decided to con-
tnue it for the present, the physician predicting
at least six weeks confinement The patient kept
bandages around the sprained parts, wetting them
every half hour night and day, for five days when
he was able to wear tight shoe to go to his bust
ness with the use of a stout cane, not crutch By
rubbing the ankle three or four times day since
the injured part has become as strong as ever be-
fore, which is unusual in such severe sprains. He
used nothing but Ponds Extract His physician,
who used and prescribes Ponds Extract had never
used it in case like this before, and pronounccs
this as the most convincing proof of the retnHrka
BILE power of the Extract. The above case is only
one of very large number Of cases of sprains from
falls on ice this winter, and from other causes
cured by Extract.

The Martin Heirs,

Mr.. John Martin, wealthy citizen, died
at No. 303 West Court street, last October.
Since that time members of the family have
made charges that he had been poisoned by
some one, who was after his estate. An
analysis of his stomach was made and the
result will be made public this evening
Mr.. Samuel Cooper, an interested party,
states that Mr.. Martin was married in Aus
trala and had four children by his wife
Mrs. Sarah Ann Finn, Emily Wetherwick,
Hannah Cooper and Henry C. Martin-who
are the lawful heirs.
The deceased, after the death of his wife,
married again, Mrs. Homer. He deserted
her, however and fled to this city. 1t is
alleged that this lady is still alive. He then
married Mrs. Burgess, who had been a
bridesmaid at Martins second marriage.
Mr. Cooper now claims that this Mrs. Bur
CESS is trying to rob the legal heirs of Mr..
Martin. The case will be sifted in the
courts.

SNELRAKER AND RYAN.
Their Case Dismissed without a Trial.

When the case of Thomas E. Snelbaker
and George w. Ryan was called in the Po-
lice Court this morning the Prosecuting At
torney made'a professional application for
continuance. He stated as his reason
for making this request that the
two witnesses, Daniel Flanagan and
John Carr, we're absent from the city, and
that due diligence had been made on be-
half of the city to procure their attendance
If they were present they would testify to
the facts as stated in the affidavits upon
which the charges were based; but since
they were not here, nothing could be done
until their attendance was procured.
The affidavits were then handed over to
the defendants, but the Judge, without
waiting for any discussion of the case, dis
missed it entirely, stating as his reason for
so doing that if he should bind the prison
ers over to the Grand Jury on the evidence
contained in the affidavitS they would be
surely dismissed, since the affdavits could
not be brought before the Grand Jury as
evidence.
Mr. Campbell then stated that the atfi-
davits were entirely false and malicious,a and
he objected to their being placed on record
in the Court. They were of a scandalous
nature, and if any newspaper published

he would at once bring suit against that
paper for criminal libel
In reference to the Chief of Police, he
stated that a conversation which he had
with him yesterday greatly modified the
harsh opinion which he had before held
concerning him, and he did not now believe
that his intentions were as malicious as he
at first supposed,

About o'clock last night Greenwood

with an enthusiastic audience to witness
the close of Miss Won Hillern's one hun
dred-mile walk. At the close of her ninety
eighth mile she was so far ahead Of time that
she rested Is minutes, and on her last two
miles she walked slowly, partly on account
of the enthusiasm of the spectators who
crowded closely upon the track. AS she
neared the close the applause became louder
and louder until there was one continued
stream of enthusiastic cheering Her last
mile was finished ten minutes ahead of
time, and when she returned to her dress
ing-room she submitted to amedical exam
ination, which showed the pulsations of her
pulse to be ninety-eight, and the tempera-
ture of her body one hundred, showing that
she had not been severely tested. Next

ENGLAND's RIGHTFuL KING.-It is a Gu
rious fact, and one that is not generally
known, that King Victor Emanuel was, by
the strict law of succession, the rightful
King of England. He,was descended in a
direct line from Charles l. The youngest
daughter of that unhappy monarch, the
d'Orleans, the brother of Louis XIV. She
died, leaving two daughters. The eldest be-
came Queen of Spain, and died childless

when the right to succession to the British
throne was settled by act of Parliament the
House of Savoy was excluded on account
of the Catholic religion protessed by its

Queen Victoria is the representative, was
several removes farther from the direct sue

James l, through Queen Elizabeth of Bohe-
mia, and her daughter, the Electress 30
phia. A striking commentary on the con-
sequences of human actions is afforded by
this story of royal inheritance. When
Charles espoused Catholic princess he
could scarcely have imagined that by this
act he was excluding his direct descendants
from the throne of their fathers; and still
less could his Queen have foreseen that any
descendant of her favorite child, so careful

religion, should ever overthrow the temper

John Bright's father seems to have been
an extremely kind-hearted mill owner. We
are told that on winter nights he would
stand at his mill gates, lantern in hand,
giving directions to men to look after the
children Ito whom he was especially kind
on their way home. His work people were
so well paid as to enable them, if careful, to
make a provision for old age, and for those
overtaken by calamity a pension was pro
vided. He would never give a pair of old
boots to a man in distress, but gave him an
order for new pair. A reformed drunk
ard, who averred that alcohol had caused
the roots of his hair to perish, once went to
him for subscription for wig. Mr..
Bright glanced over the list, and finding
that the contributors were poor people, de-
clined to contribute unless the money was
returned. Then he gave him handsome
wig.
