THE OLD WORLD ACCEPTS
THE GREENBACKERS'
IDEA.
The Demonstration Of Silver
Denounced ~ the Inter-
national Congress.
THE UNITED STATES THANKED
John sherman's Policy after Running the
United States About to Bring Great
Disaster Upon Europe.

L
monetary conference has adjourned
sine die. The American delegation
urged some positive action, but only
obtained a declaration formulated in
the reply Of the European delegates
yesterday. A correspondent. sum-
mariZing the general result of the
conference, says existing cOmplica-
tions preclude the formation of a
monetary union. The English nego-
tiators pronounce the consequences
Of German decentralization disastrous.
MOno-metalism is only advocated by
three small States. The sentiment
against further decentralization is
overwhelming. The influence of the
conference is deemed unimportant
for the future of silver. The Euro
pean delegates adopted resolutions
thanking the United States for bring
ing about change of opinion on inn
portant monetary questions; also
stating that in view of the divergence
Of opinion which has been manifest
ed, and the impossibility Of even
States having double standard
making any engagements in regard to
the unlimited mintage OF silver. there
is no ground for discussing the ques-
ton of international ratio. SignOr
Rusconi of Italy stated the confer
ence had not decided that the ratio
between gold and silver was impossi
BILE, and as under the French law only
slight fluctuation occurred, by a
bi-metallic treaty with France and
England the United States might fix.
IA permanent ratio. The Belgian and
Swiss delegates held the double,
standard was impracticahle. Mr..
Goschen of England considered
universal gold standard inconvenient
and dangerous. but he also considered
an international ratio of values be-
tween the two metals impossible.
LONDON. Aug. 3o.-The Times
Paris correspondent says the Ameri-
can delegates seem to have dispelled
any idea that the Bland bill was de-
signed to the prejudice of bondhold-
ers, or that the conference originated
in self-interested motives.
CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-The following
cable dispatch is published in the

London special says the advance of
the rate of discount by the bank of
Germany to five per cent. is regarded
rs evidence of the grave disturbance
In the monetary affairs of Europe,
which is to he apprehended in conse-
quence of the complete cessation of
the supply of goli from the United
states and the strong probability that
the latter in future will draw gold in
large quantities from Europe. The
Bank of England sought to check the
outflow of gold by raising rate to
five per cent. Germany is now fol-
lowing Ivy an advance to dive, and
further advance by the bank Of Eng
land is predicted. The supply OF gold

sM ALL RDYS,

Last evening we really thought that we
had, or were about toget hold Of an item, to
pluck 1t, as 1T were, In the bud Five small
boys, evidently first-class representatives Of
the much dreaded race had procured small
ladder, by means OF which they climbed upon
O. fence ten feet high, belonging to mansion
on Esplanade street, and there, walking and
galivanting on foothold OF not more than an
inch and half wide, gave us strong hopes
that some Of them, at least, would not die OF
yellow fever. The vicious purpose Of these
small boys following the bent Of their
| nature was to leap from the top Of the fence
| to the pavement beneath, hoping thereby to
| bring grief upon their parents by breaking a
| limb or so. But there Is, SO 1t Is reported, q
god for drunkards, and there certainly
must be one for small boys-we
want 1t to be understood, however,
and their god not our god, not by any means
We could not agree. We watched those boys we
took their names down, ages, and description
| in our note book; with grim pertinaCity WE
then a CLEAN of hope, would flash across our
mind, when one of them, standing upon the
'pernicious height" would sway backwards
and threaten o fall that surely must
have broken p his back or o,! head 81 o.
nothing but mischief in them, and will take
malicious pleasure even in depriving poor
reporter of an item for his Monday morning
paper. They climbed up to the uncertain
fence, leaped to the ground climbed again
and indefinitely continued without even the
slightest sprain of al ankle to enliven the per
formance We retired In disgust. We SHOOK
the dust of our feet upon the uneventfu
scene, but we went away grimly satisfied anc
serenely smiling to ourselves, pervaded with
the consoling and unalterable belief that these
small boys will begin their vicious play over
again tomorrow, and the day after, and tht
day following, etc. until one of them vii
have brought grief upon his family with {
broken head, q fractured limb, or mayhap
but we dare hope this much, IN accident tina
will diminish the race by at least one Of th'
| pestiferOus creatures,

Dlslmfecting Hce-The Process Adopted by
NatChft0CEaes.

Dlsinfectipg Hce-The Process Adopted by
NatChitOclaes.
For the benefit Of those cities, towns, VIII
lagos and hamlets which have quarantined
New Orleans, the following method Of
DIsINFECTING ICE
adopted by the authorities Of Natchitoches Is
submitted. The process was witnessed by
passengers on the Bart Able, and by one of
them is thus detailed:
The boat landed and put off several casks
of Ice; all other freight was refused. AS soon
as the casks were on shore O gang of men
seized on them. knocked out their heads,
dumped the ice, rapidly but carefully scraped
from it all adhering saw dust, which was re-
turned to the casks, and they were then
thrown into the river. ...y
Tn eice was allowed to remain on the river
bank in the sun until considerable portion
OF each block had melted, and then the gang
of men, who had retired to respectable dis
lance, returned, put the ice in their casks and
packed it in with new sawdust CarboliC
acid was then freely used on the spot where
the melting had taken place.
It is believed by the best physicians Of this
city that IL this process is strictly followed by
all places where ice is received that there will
be no danger of yellow fever being intro
duced by that commodity, and some of our
physicians go further and say that II the
Board Of Health of New Orleans had dropped
on the method and thus disinfected all Lex
received there would be no yellow fever In this
CITY to-day

A GLIMPSE or YOUTH,

+
Maiden, thank thee for thy face,
:, Thy sweet, shy glance Of conscious eyes;
For, from thy beauty and thy grace,
My life has won glad surprise.
I met thee on the crowded street.
A load OF care on heart and brain
And for d moment. bright and fleet,
The vision made me young again.
And then / thought, as on [ went,
And struggled through the thronging
ways,
How every ages complement
The age that follows overlays,
The youth upon the child shuts down;
Young manhood closes over youth;
And ripe old age Is but the crown
That keeps them both In changeless truth
So every little child [ see,
With brow and spirit undefiled,
And simple faith and frolic glee,
Finds still In ne another child
Toward every brave and careless boy
Whose lusty shout or call hear,
The boy within me springs with joy
And rings an echo to his cheer!
What was 1t, when thy face [ saw,
That moved my spirit like breeze
Responsive to the primal law
Of youths enhancing harmonies ?
All? little maid--so sweet and shy
Building each day thy fair romance
When ] returned thee glance for glance
For all my youth is still my own,
Bound in the volume of my age,
And breath from thee hath only blown
The leaves back to the golden page!
