An old judge, who was an admirer of the
fair, entered railway car and took seat by
a gorgeously beautiful woman. She was as
modest looking as beautiful. The Judge gave
her some nice peaches, and she answered his
questions modestly. At last he told her he
was certain they had met before, but he
couldn't recall the place where he had had
that pleasure. She replied, laying aside her
me up for thirty days last year. and have

A SHERMAN LIE NAILED.

The Cincinnati Times, Republican,
since its conversion to the true faith, has
become very bitter toward the gold
bulls, and shows up the fallacy of their
arguments against silver as follows
The Comptroller of the Currency
whose duties are so light that he can de.
vote most of his time to attacking re.
monetization, and who is said to have
been prime mover in the original de.
monetization bill, has just crowned his
work with an effort Of gigantic proper
tons. 1t is given out through the
Treasury Department to the reporters of
the gold. bull papers, and it is in the
shape of table showing that the silver
coins of all countries have deprecated
in the past two years, while the gold
coins have remained stationary in value.
The hugeness of the joke in this show,
ing consists of the fact that the measure
of value in both cases is gold. Could
there by any possibility be more asinine
piece Of logic OF course the gold coin
is worth just as much in gold as it was
two years ago and, Of course, the silver
coin is worth less in gold because of sill
yer demonetization. But if we estimate
the comparative values in some outside
measure, what do we find ? We find
that silver has not deprecated that it
will buy to day as much, and more, of
the necessities of life than it would two
years ago, while gold, because Of the
fictitious value put upon it by demone,
tization, has risen still more rapidly.
Such ignorance, or such deceit, as IS
evinced in the Treasury statement re-
ferred to, exposes clearly the nature of
the war against silver.

THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER ON
AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

The clever Bishop of Msnchester-Who
was one of the British Commission who
came over here twelve years ago to ex-
anime our schools has lately been CIV
ing it as his opinion that the American
elementary schools attempt to teach too
much. Every knowledge and teachable
thing under the sun was crowded into
the curriculum, he said, and when he ex-
pressed doubts whether Euclid could be
mastered in six months, and whether
the same period was sufficient to dispose
Of other subjects, it was admitted that it
was too short time. The result was
that there was no solid instruction; and
as an instrument of mental discipline,
that farrago Of mullifarious, and he might
say omnifarious, learning was great de-
lusion and q prodigious snare. To learn
a few things we'll and thoroughly was, he
was quite sure, the right method Of dis
ciplining the mind.
