Young Mrs. jackson, with very be-

entertaining Miss Ann Antiss for the
first time at her new home. All the
glory of paint and paper the old home
stead had received, all the new furni-
ture, had been exhibited and admired
before the two sat down in the pretty
east room, gaywith the tasteful arrange
ment of wedding presents that Annie
called her own, when suddenly young
Mrs. jackson startled Miss Antiss into
dropping whole row of knitting by
saying:
Aunt Ann, how did it happen that
Harry came to the farm that morning
Just after you had gone away, and how
did it happen that he had yow to bless

TREASURY DEPARTMRN'


DEAR SIR: The extract which you quote
from Kelley's speech is but part of the dia-
tribes which such men as Kelley have used to
excite the popular mind and create war be
tween capital and labor The amount Of
United States notes TO be redeemed is less
than $3.50, 100000, of which more than S5O,OOO,-
600 are constantly in the Treasury in some
form. The s65,0OO,0O0 available are now
nearly S00,000,0O0, with some months further
to accumulate. The Silver bill, in one respect,
makes resumption easier by broadening the
basis of coin resumption. What is driving
the people to pauperism, etc, is the insane
warfare upon capital, which destroys conf-
dence and prevents prudent men from en-
barking in new enterprises. Could anyone
expect sensible people, having property or
money, TO embark it in the hazards Of trade in
the face of such appeals as are now quite com
mon, and Of which this is "a specimen. At this
moment our country is more prosperous than
any in the world, though many are idle and
out OF employment. What is needed most is
confidence In the stability of values, and this
can only be secured by a resumption of pay
ment in coin Very truly yours,
JOIN SHERMAN.

At all times ships of one kind or another
are floating about at sea, abandoned by officers
and crew, In what seems a hopeless condition.
Some are dismantled and mere hulks, some are
swimming keel upwards, some are water-logged,
but being laden with timber will not sink, but
are driven hither and thither as the wind and
waves may direct. So people afflicted with ca
tarrh, bronchitis, and consumption, are aban-
doned by physicians and friends as incurable,
yet thousands of such are annually restored to
perfect health by the use of DIR. Sage's Catarrh
