AND so after all, the international
conference on the silver question,
which was to do so much for man
kind, has come to naught. The Eu.
ropean delegates have adopted res
oIution declaring that there is no
ground for discussing the question
of international ratio between cold
and silver. Was it worth while to
get up conference and send dele
gates over the ocean to learn this?
The rate of silver like that of every
thing else in the world, as foretold
by those who opposed our humbug
silver bill, must depend on its value
as a commodity; that is, on its rela-
tive abundance or scarcity, and the
conseqent demand for it. The inter
Lational conference may as well turn
its attention to regulation of the
price Of wheat, hides and beeswax.

What Is Gibralter.

The rocky promontory which consti-
tutes Gibraltar projects in the sea a dis
lance of about three miles, with width
of one-half to three-quarterS of a mile.
On the eastern side is the Mediterra-
mean, on the west the spacious Bay OF
Gibraltar, and on the south the strait
of the same name. The rock occupies
about two-thirds of the length of the
promontory, and its inland termination
is precipitous. Beyond, to the north,
the ground is low and fiat for the re-
mainder of the distance to the main
land of Spain. The lower part of this
level strip belongs to England; the
middle is neutral, and then commences
the Spanish territory. 1t is said the
English portion is undermined with a
view to render Gibraltar an island in
case of military necessity. The rock
is rather less than 1,450 feet high, and
its length extends north and south. On
all sides, excepting the western, the
ascent is almost perpendicular, so that
access is utterly impossible except from
the quarter named. The city is built
along the base of this western slope
and faces on the bay. The streets are
narrow and crooked; the houses are Il
mixture of the low, flat-roofed and
dark-colored, with the Spanish white
wash monotony; the shops on Water
port street are dear and mixed in ma
tionalities; the people are Spanish, En-
glish, Moorish, Jewish, red-coats and
nondescripts; the public buildings are
without interest; English and Spanish
coins form the circulating medium; the
port is lively with the large number of
small craft-and such is the town of
Gibraltar, with its population of 1000.
England came in possession of the
place in 1904, when Sir George Cooke
surprised it while held by Spanish
garrison of but eighty men. The treaty
Of Utrecht, in 1913, confirmed it to the
English, who have preserved their own

No Dogs Allowed in the Cars.

IT happened the other day on the Lee
high Valley Railroad The train had
just left Easton, and the conductor was
going his first round, when he observed
a small white dog with bushy tail and
bright black eyes sitting costly on the
seat beside young lady so handsome
that it made his heart roll over like a
one-sided pumpkin. But duty was duty,
and he remarked, in his most depreca-
tory manner:
I'm very sorry, madam, but it's
against the rules to have dogs in the
passenger-cars.
"Oh! my, is that sop and she turned
up her lovely brown eyes at him be-
seemingly. "What in the world will |
do? l can't throw him away. He's a
Christmas present from my aunt"
BY no means, miss. Well Just put
HIM in baggage-car, and he'll be just
as happy as robin in spring"
what! put my nice little white dog
in nasty, stuffy, dusty baggage-carP"
Pm awfully sorry, miss, | do assure
you, but the rules of this company are
as intleXible as the laws of the Modes
and them other fellows, you know. He
shall have my overcoat TO lie on, and
the brakemen shall give him grub and
water every time he opens his mouth. ="

ton to cry that nearly broke the con-
ductor's heart; but he was firm, and
sang out to brakeman, who was play
ing a solo on the stove:
Here, Andy, take this dog over in
to the baggage-car and tell 'em to take
just the best kind of care of him."
The young lady pouted, but the
brakeman reached over and picked the
canine up as tenderly as though it was a
two-week' sold baby, but as he did so q
strange expression came over his face,
like wave of cramp collie, and he said
hastily to the conductor:
Here, you take him minute till l
put this poker away" and he trotted
out at the car door and held on the
brake-wheel, shaking like man with
ague.
The conductor no sooner had his
hands on the dog than he looked around
for a hole to fall through.
"Wh-wh-why, this is worsted
dog"
"Yes, sir" said the little miss, de-
murely. Didn't you know that?"
mo, I'm most awful sorry to say
didn't know that" and he laid the
Christmas dog down on the owner
lap, and walked out on the platform,
Whare he stood half an hour in the
cold, trying to think of a hymn tune to
suit the worst sold man on the road

Mr.. Sarsaper's Refrigerator.

A COUPLE of weeks ago Mr.. Sarsa-
per told his wife one morning that he
had got about tired of buttering his
bread with Il spoon, and so that day he
sent home q refrigerator. 1t was a
beauty, and he felt proud of it, so much
so that he had a good deal to say about
it at the store.
Il suppse you have to put ice in it,
don't you?" said one of the clerks.
Certainly" said Mr. s., " but then
it takes very little. It's an improve
ment on all the others ever made Full
of little boxes and places for all sorts of
things. Keeps everything separate

everything nice, cool and crisp, instead

be without it again for no money. |

the first time you're going by. It's
curiosity, and | know you II get one as
soon as you see it. Don't bother about
ceremony-run in any time" Bob
said he would.
About two o'clock, one morning last
week, Mr.. Sarsaper was wakened out
of the slumber that always keeps COM
pany with an easy conscience, by his
wife poking him in the ribs. and call
ing on him to hustle out and see what
the matter was. The door bell was
jingling like all possessed
Mr.. Sarsaper crawled out of bed, and
after banging his nose on the door-post
till the blood started, giving himself a
black eye against the corner of the
mantel, and falling down over pretty
much everything in the room, he finally
made his way to the front part of the
house, threw up a window and peered
out into the wet and murky gloom.
who's there?" he demanded, look
ing down at the top of an umbrella.
''Men came up in thick voice from
the under side of it.
"Who's me?'
"Bob.n
"Oh, it's you, is it? What's the mat
ter, Bob? Anybody sick?"
so no. You see I've been out to Sc

refrigerator of yours as was going by,
and so thought I'd stop in and see it,
without ceremony, as you said. Come
down and let me in. I'm in hurry to
get home, and can't stop but min
ute.n
Mr.. Sarsaper said something that
would bend the types double if we
should undertake to print it, and
slammed down the window.
He remarkedto Bob the next day that
for downright freezing GOODNESS his re-
frigerator was bake-oven compared to
the prank practiced on him. -BreaktaSt

A Gallant Huntress.

FIVE miles from Eureka lives pros
porous farmer named Robert 10y, who
is engaged in raising sheep, having a
large flock, which range at large over
the hills and praries, where their white
forms may be seen dotting the surface
and rendering it the beautiful scene
which nature with her lavish hand has
intended.
His boys are all girls" and one of
his daughters, Mary Belle 10y, barely
fourteen years of age, is the shepherdess,
whose rosy cheeks, sunburnt face and
graceful form, as she mounts her pony,
who knows well the soft voice attuned
to her vocation, would excite the envy
of many city bellies, and charms the eye
of connoisseur in search of asensitive
rose to complete the latest work of his
easel. Some days since, while looking
after her woolly wards, she discovered a
full grown wolf of the coyote species,
and an uncommonly large one, stealth
lily approaching the flock, when she put
her horse to his speed, and the wolf,
feeling that his sanitary condition in
that locality was very unsatisfactory,
the race and chase commenced, over
the hills and prairie, until finally he
was compelled to consider himself "run
down."
Now came the " tug of war;" and any
one who has ever seen a coyote at bay,
swapping and snarling, holding his
position against dozen dogs, can real
ize her situation as the aggressor.
Nothing daunted, however, She UNI
buckled her bride rein, and with the
ring at the end, and this only, made
good her position, and, without alight-
ing from her saddle, she had soon dis
abled her foe, saved her lambs and de-
prived him of at least one toothsome
morsel. Then she started out for the
nearest neighbor to the battle ground,
nearly two miles distant, for assistance,
but found no one at home who could as
sist her save another girl, who mounted
another pony, and armed only with a
dull knife, these two young girls were
soon galloping over the prairie to save
the scalp for which the county pays a
royalty" when presented to the proper
officer.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-07-27

The real truth is, farming is a noble
and attractive pursuit; but so also is
the law, so is mechanical labor. so is
the calling of good preacher or novel
list. Nature is not so limited in re-
sources that she exhausted her magma
ton when she invented pillow. Nature
has a broad mind and heart, and was
as delighted when she made pen or a
piano as when she made harrow or a
corn planter. Having ordered all the
family of man to 90 to work, nature
was under some obligations to make
all work honorable, and to forbid the
man who might own reaper to look
with any contempt upon him who
might run a locomotive or a fire engine.
There is no respect of persons as a
general rule in this little earth on
which we move to and fro. Thus a
predetermined nature tells us that we
need not sigh for farm if we are
preachers or lawyers, and that the far
mer need not mourn because he is not
in the courthouse or the church, for
in each lot there is, as a general law,
one happiness and one misery.
The farmer, if he possesses any emo
tiOnal nature, is mad about one half of
his time at his neighbours cow or pig,
and is veXed half the time at the
weather. The preacher who comes
home from an empty church, and the
! lawyer who comes home with an adj
verse decision in pocket, do not cast
themselves on the lounge with deeper
disgust than fills the farmers soul
when the fortieth day of rain sets in
and his hired man comes back to the
barn from the muddy field. The aver
age farmer will be awake at night to
see if that cloud will not pity his
parched field, or will not spare his half
drowned wheat. Neither preaching,
nor law, nor medicine, nor literary pur-
suits are at the mercy of the weather
as are the hopes of him who tills the
soil. And to the torments of mind
which the weather brings, throw in
some mental pangs caused by the late
frosts and fly, and rust, and wind, and
cheat, and much of the roseate hues
which tip the shingles of the country
home fade. What we all want is hon
orable work and good food and fresh
air, and some learning, and some fun,
and some friends, and some sort of an
honorable name, and, then, beyond
those ideas, it does not matter in the
least whether we hold in our hand a
ploW-crook, or an engine-lever, or q
gOose-quill. --AUidnce.
