The Wall Stree. sh.rp


Washington, Dec. 17.-It is stated
that band Of Wall street spectators
has organized to lock up gold in antici-
patton of resumption. The house
banking and currency committee has
under consideration some measure by
which it Is hoped such a scheme will be
defeated. The plan proposed is bill
making 1t a misdempanor to lend
money or collateral security of gold or
silver coin as certificates. A bill of
this sort was passed at the time specu-
lators were in the habit of locking up
greenbacks, effectually preventing this
speculation. The law prohibiting the
loaning of money or greenbacks as
collateral does not, however, include
gold.

right to do. But his political friends
and enemies in the democratic party
comment upon the fact In way to be
despised. First, they say that it is an
admission that the democrats cannot
carry Ohio again, and that will hurt tile
party In the state. Others contend
that Mr.. Thurman confesses he can
not carry Ohio, and therefore he has no

The High School Board

The act of the last legislative session
establishing high school board has
elected greater interest than even the
most sanguine advocates of the measure
anticipated Applications for admis-
sion under the privileges accorded by
the law have poured in upon the board
from all sections of the state, many be.
ing from the most unexpected quarters.
To the board as we'll as to al having
the advancement of popular education
at heart this eagerness is most graft
flying assurance that the public at large
possess deep seated attachment to the
public school system. and that there
exists, even in the comparatively OBJ
scure communities OF the state, an IN
bred desire for higher order of edu-
cation. There have been received
twenty applications, which the board
considers will be all they can entertain,
as it will exhaust the $1,000 appro-
priated by the act, In this wise: Twen-
ty schools at S4OO would take $4,000,
leaving only $1,000 for travelling, pos
tage, stationery, and other needful ex.
penses. Of course some of the twenty
schools, the applications of which have
been received and fled, may not come
up to the standard fixed by the board
and required by the statute. but. in
that event, others will be found which
will gladly avail themselves of the pri
vllege Of filling up the vacancies. Fol.

piled, and are here given in the order

EXHIBIT AT THE PARIS EXH1BI-
TON
Much curiosity has been excited 10
the American section for few days
past by a beautiful case containing
three works of art from California, rep
reseuting a value of over $4,000. One
of them is jewel case made entirely
Of gold and the gold quartz rock from
California, Nevada, Oregon and idaho,
and required the steady work Of five
skillful artisans for six months. The
casket is about fifteen inches long, ten
inches wide, and twelve inches deep.
It rests on four supports Of solid gold,
each Of which represents the symbolic
female figure that adorns the coat Of
arms of California, with the bear at her
side. The figures are in full relief, and
elegantly formed. The sides and ends
Of the casket are composed of solid slabs
Of gold quartz, highly polished, cut in
spheroids and inlaid in gold with orna-
mental surroundings. The four hand
somely wrought pillars upon the 81 'es
are Of Roman -Doric style. The base
is ornamented with graceful foliations
repeated upon the mouldings on the lid.
The top is Of solid gold, inlaid with
gold quartz in the finest mosaic work,
hundreds Of pieces being required for
the construction. Within the cover is
very exquisite piece Of workmanship,
representing q buffalo hunt on the
plains. The trees are in bas relief. In
the foreground it railway track across
which two huffalos are dashing, hotly
pursued by Indian hunters. All Of
this is in alto.relievo, and great express
sion is conveyed although the figures
are extremely minute. This costly b.
jon attracts almost as much attention as
do the diamonds Of the queen Of Eng
and. The other works exhibited are
. porte .monaie and card case combined
made Of solid gold and quartz rock,
beautifully designed in mosaic inter-
spersed with gold; and the other (tell
it not in Askelon) is = ladies' powder
box and puff. This latter bcx is made
Of quarts rock from all the leading
mines Of California. idaho, and Oregon;
its shape is round and it is made to re.
semble Greek dome, the top or cover
being supported by eight columns Of
solid gold qnartz rock, polished, and
erch capped with pure gold. The
cover forming the roof of the dome. is
inlaid with quartz Of variegated colors
filed up with the precious metal, and
is bound on the edge with rim Of gold,
the inside being lined with the same
material. The body Of the box IL
made from one large mass Of quartz
rock, bored out and highly polished on
the exterior, while the interior is lined
with gold, ank rests on. an ornamental

Animal Sagaclty.

Col. Rice, now of Gen. Miles Fifth
United States infantry, was in comp,
any on Tuesday last with gentleman
of our acquaintance, and the conversa.
ton naturally turned on Indian war
fare aud frontier experience, the day
being the university of the Custer
massacre. Col. Rice, who has seen
service in Indian campaigns, related
striking anecdote concerning the saga.
city of a horse which lost his rider in
the fatal fight. Some months after
the battle, steamer having on board
a portion of the Fifth infantry was
pursuing her voyage near the mouth
of the Powder river, on the Yellow
stone. The scout Buffalo Bill, who
was securing the country for indica-
tions Of hostile Indians, saw in the
distance an object moving slowly to.
ward the boat. They anxiously scru-
tinized it as it continued to approach,
supposing that it might be the advance
of body of hostiles. Their suspi-
cions were not lcssend when they dis.
covered it to be q horse, which might
be that of a scout watching their
movements or signaling the advance
of the enemy in forse. When the an
imal came down to the bank Of the
river, however, it was found to be IN
mounted and alone, and on nearing
the boat it neighed aud pranced, man
ifesting every sign of its joyful recog-
milton. The boat was stepped, and,
when the horse was taken on board, it
was found to bear tie brand, "Seventh
cavalry" The place where it was
found was 70 or 80 miles in bee line
from the scene Of the Custer fight.
The horse had evidently seen or heard
the steamer, and recoe enized it IS a
sign of civilization, and. being tired Of
its free life in the wilderness, gladly
embraced the opportunity Of returning
to its accustomed duties.
Another kindred incident, showing
the strength Of the second nature i'm
planted by human companionship in
domestic animals, was related by Col
Rice. Upon one Of the steamers used
in the campaign against the Sioux
was a small dog belonging to Gen
Miles, which one day fell overheard,
and was given up for lost. Six months
afterward, as the same steamer was re
turning. the singular sight was witnes
sed Of a small dog and a wolf trottine
along the shore in friendly companion.

lost overheard The steamer was stop
ped. and the dog taken on board, de
lighted to meet his old friends, while
the wolf On the approach of the boa'
ran back into the bush. The intelli-
gent animal had apparently anticipat-
ed the return of the boat, and patient
ly awaited his restoration to his master
