The Monetary Conferencc at Paris.
PARIS, August 19.-At the sitting Of the
International Monetary Conference to-day
the delegates all explained the ponetary
condition Of their respective countries.
Mr.. Gaschen, OF the British delegation, said
that although England has gold standard,
she is greatly interested in the matter OF
silver retaining its monetary condition. He
believed the world would remain divided
into. two parts-one having gold and the
| other double standard. He maintained
| there was no harm in this being the case.
The Swiss representatives supported MIR.
| Goschen's views.
M. Mees, representatives Of Holland,
| thought that the United States would only
be supported by nations laboring under a
forced paper currency.
| M. Leon Say, the French Minister of FL
nance, said the monetary question would
remain too obscure for France to take sides
so long as Germany had considerable
stock OF silver which she could throw upon
the market of France. He, however, APP
proved OF the initiative having been taken
by the United States in this matter.
The conference adjourned until Thurs

forgotten to mention to Aunt Dinah that
he was receiving ten dollars month for
keeping the books, and he had uniformly
forgotten to turn over to her the aforesaid
ten dollars, but had squandered the same
for his own little personal expenses; that
some unknown demon had informed
Dinah that Old Nose was getting ten
dollars for keeping the books, and conse
quently, when he remarked the other
evening that it being time fnr him to go
to the lodge, and upon requesting her to
hand him out the books, instead of doing
so she sat down on the trunk, and posi-.
lively refused to turn over the documents,
until he paid over the ten dollars. When
he told her the ten dollars were hisn
for keeping the books, she rctorted
