silver, was passed. He vindicated congress
from any suspicion of a selfish motive in re.
storing silver to its former status. He said
nearly half of silver purchased by the treas.
ury Of the United States had been bought in
London and according to the best authori.

1NsTRuCTING DELEGATES.

Notwithstanding the existence ola strong
public sentiment against the practice, many
of the county republican conventions re.
Gently held in Dakota have seen fit to bur-
den their delegates with instructions re-
garding the direction in which their votes
are to be cast. Newspapers generally ad.
vised against this course, but it seems that
our political gatherings have not yet, as a
class, reached that condition of immunity
from the control of professional politicians
which will enable them to heed good u
sci. Communities elect representatives to
nominating conventions from among their
most intelligent men and if those men arc
worth the confidence reposed in them they
should certainly be permitted to exercise
their " judgment when called upon to
vote in the general assemblage. Circum-
stances always arise within a convention
which change the entire aspect of affairs
and where men are free to exercise their
" faculties they can achieve more salts.
factory results than when held in one chan
mel by the iron-clad instructions of those
who sent them. The party representatives
should assemble and consult together as to
how the best interests of the party can be
attained, their own intelligence and honesty
of purpose being the guide for slltheir acts.
If they do not possess those requirements
that is sufficient reason why they should not
be made members of a convention. 1t has
been held by numerous nominating bodies
that the instructions of the primaries are
not binding upon delegates, and for good
reasons. Men are elected as delegates that
they may represent the party. They are the
party, in fact, for the time being, and not
the special representatives of any local in.
terests or prejudices. As q whole they are to
labor for common interests, in the broadest
sense of the term. To the end that this
may be accomplished they must be left free
to follow the course of events as they are
shaped by the prevailing sentiment, and not
tied down TO the narrow idea of a precinct
caucus ora county primary. We urge that
the convention Of Thursday next take action
upon this question, that's precedent may be
established for future political operations,
end that we may obtain on that occasion
an intelligent expression from men, com
petent to decide on an important matter.

Wings against Steam.

There was q race lately from Dover to
London between the Continental mail g.
press train and q carrier. pigeon conveying
a document of nm urgent nature from t-t
French police. The pigeon, which was
bred by Messrs. Hartley & Sons, OF Wsn.-
wich, aud ''homed," when n few wecNs
old, to a building in Onnnon Street, Ciy,
was of the best breed of homing pigca =,
known as belgian voyageurs." The hi.i
was tossed through the railway-cnTr &c
window by n French official as the tn
moved from the Admiralty Pier, the wi'-t
being west and tho atmosphere hay, Ut
with the sun shining. For upwards 81 n
minute the carrier-pigeon circled round %
an altitude of about half n mile, and tEcn
sailed away towards London. BY ttis
time the trnin which carried the EuroperE
mails, and was timed not to stop betWt"l
Dover and Cannon Street, had got up '
full speed, and was proceeding ut the r
of sixty miles NJ hour toward London
The odds at starting seemed against the
bird, and the railway officials predicted
that the little messenger would be beaten
In the race. The pigeon, however, us soon
rs it ascertained its bearings, took the
midway between Maidstone and Sitting
bourne, the distance, /" Us the crow flies, "
between Dove and London being seventy
miles, and by rail seventy-six n q half
miles. When the Continental mail-express
came into Cannon Street Station, the bird
had been home twenty minutes, having
beaten Her Majesty's Royal Mail by n time
allowance representing eighteen miles.

Big Crops and Good Prices.

"Good crops and big prices will set the
transportation interests on their legs again.
The railroads can again earn money with

RUNNING IN DEBT FOR A FARM.

The first thing to understand is the
nature and character of compound interest,
or the amount Of money one has to pay
towards a debtin a long run of years. Sup
pose q hundre acres of land are bought,
one-third paid down, and n debt of four
thousand dollars remains. At seven per
cent. this amounts to two hundred and
eighty dollars per annum and after the
purchase of tools, seeds, animals, etc, and
supporting his family, in connection with
paying shopkeeper's and blacksmith's bills.
The young farmer will do well if he keeps
down this interest without reducing the

L Printer's Dream.

Aprintar sat IN his Office chair, his boots
were patched and his coat threadbare, while
his face looked weary and worn with care.
While sadly thinking of business debt, old
Morpheus slowly round him crept, and be-
fore he knew it he soundly slept and,
sleeping he dreamed that he was dead, from
trouble and toll his spirit had fed, and that
not even a COW bell tolled for the peaceful
rest c: his cowhide sole. As he wandered
among the shades, the smoke and scorch in
lower Hades, he shortly observed an iron
o u tina: creakingly swung on hinges ajar,
but the entrance was closed by a red-hot
bar. and Satan himself stood peeping out,
and watching for travellers t~hereabouts, and
hIc Z" the passing printer spoke, and with
growing voice the echoes woke: Come in,
ny dear, it shall cost you nothing and never
fear; thisi is the place where l COO the ones
who never pay their subscription sums, for
though in life they may escape they will
find when dead it is too late; / will show
the plnce where l melt them thin, with red
bot chains and scraps of tin, and also where
I comb their heads with broken glass and
melted lead, and if of refreshments they
only think there's boiling water for them to
drink; there's the red-hot grindstone to
grind down his nose. and red-hot rings to
wear on his toes, and if they mention they
don't like fire I'll sew up their mouths with
rodiot wire; and then, dear sir, you should
see thsin squirm while I roll them over and
sook to q turn" With these last words the
printer awoke, and thought it all q practical
yoke; but still at times SO real did it seem
d,at he cannot believe it was all a dream;
and often he thinks with a chuckle and grin
of the fate of those who save their tin and
never pay the printer.

CayFEE IN CEYLoS.-There are at the
present moment in Ceylon, 257 900 acres of
cultivated coffee, divided into slightly more
than l, 200 estates, and giving employment
to 1850 managers and superintendents,
nearly all of whom are Europeans. About
60, acres of these estates are not in proper
bearing through being either too young or
too old, and therefore 2lo, 900 acres may be
taken as the extent of the plantations of the
island, which are accountable for the present

A Phase of a Gamblers Life
rambler in his confession says:

- RhluhAtA Ia III n.y.
II once knew an eccentric gentleman who,
although not ostensibly a professional gam.
bier, really made short cards q business.
He WIS fond of a little game of draw, Just
to kill time, you know but the result was
that he always got the best of il, and, ming.
ling with moneyed men, his winnings were
large. l got into a series of games with
him, and as well as 1 understood cards my.
self I invariably got the worst Of it. ]
knew that there was something wrong, and,
1 resolved to discover it if possible. I care
fully examined the backs of the cards, and
understanding how this sort of work sdone,
l very soon satisfied myself that the backs
were al right. / watched his deal. He
threw them round with great rapidity. His
shutting was square.
Zone day l procured a powerful magni.
flying glass, and went carefully over a pack
of cards that he had won with the night be-
fore. Along and careful search revealed the
ace and face cards q series of trifing c~oncavi-
ties. The punches were so slight as to be
invisible to the naked eye, but, upon pass
ing my finger over them, 1 could feel them.
A gamblers fingers are or ought to be soft
as velvet Subsequent investigations re.
vealed his work. He had, on the inside OF
his lingering, a minute punch.
ain the beginning Of a game he would
manage to turn the faces of the aces and
face cards, one ut a time, so as to bring
them against his punch, and then onein-
dentation or two or three in certain locality
would designate the cards. So nice was his
sense of touch that in dealing he would
naturally pass the face of each card over the
end of his left middle finger, and, no matter
how readily he dealt them, he would know
the position of all the face cards in the pack.
OF course this gave him n heavy percentage,
and The result WIS he invariably won"
