themselves expected to see on 90
dark and stormy q night. DR.. Har-
vey laid aside his lecture on "The
appearance of Man in America, " and
entertained his hearers by descant-
ing on the subject of " Heat" and
the wonderful impetus given the
study of it's laws by the early sug-
gestions of Count Rumford. He re-
viewed the history of Benjamin

tive of the knighted student and

the Academy a total stranger, the
remarks of the speaker stamped him
as a deep thinker and ripe scholar.

Mr.. Blaine in Better Health.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Senators
Blaine and Chatfee, and ex-Secretary
Robson, returned from the Arkansas
Hot Springs last night. Mr.. Blaine is
thoroughly restored in health and
strength. His physicians ut his home
in Maine and in this city do not find the
remotest connection between his recent
illness and that of 1876. His sudden
and serious illness in October was the
result of poison from sewer gas. His
residence had been undergoing repairs
all summer and the plumbing got out
of order. The house was thoroughly
filled with gas. 1t was in this condition
when Mr.. Blaine, arriving at the called
session with his family, slept in his
house and received the nOXiOus poison
from which the Hot Springs baths have
finally restored him.

The King then summoned Prince Hum

increased. The King then summoned
all those who were in the habit of APP
preaching him. He addressed to every
one present Il few words, and few mo-
ments after died. The news of his
death soon spread through the city and
caused great emotion among the peo-
pie. All the shops were closed and
Prince Humbert was proclaimed King
of Italy. He confirmed the present

A determination to lend only on the
gold basis may be regarded by some of
the people who look upon all oppo-
nents of the silver movement as Shy
locks, us a threat. 1t is nothing of the
sort. 1t is merely a measure of prOtec-
tion against an assault upon the class
of goods in which they deal. No bank
is under obligation to lend any of it's
funds, No bank ever does lend when
it sees fair chance of losing. 1t may
be that the people of the West do not
comprehend the fact that, if the move
ment they are engaged in should be
successful, it would drive millions of
loanable capital out of the market and
out OF the country. But they are likely
to- discover that it is grim truth if

ion is certainly unfounded so far as
Iowa is concerned. The leading dailies
are nearly all fol- the solid silver dol
lar; that is, a dollar with enough silver
in it to make it equal to the gold dol
lar. Iowa is not in favor Of gold coin
only. The popular demand is for the
coinage of both gold and silver, but any
attempt to make the coins of either
metal of less than standard value will
be heartily denounced by our citizens.
