living stream of lard, on the banks of

holding their chins in their hands and
having their mouths open. In a pan

hill, gathering coat of gingerbread

brandy that is forever falling. All the

Chinese Money,

Coined money was known among the
Chine sc as early as the eleventh century
before Christ, but their inability to COM
prehend the principles upon which
currency should be based has led them
into sll sorts of e1travagances, which
have been attended by disorder, famine,
and bloodshed. Coins came ut last to
be made so thin that 600 of them piled
together were only three inches high:
then gold and silver were abandoned;
and copper, tin, shells, skins. stones,
and paper were given fixed value, and
used until, by abuse, all the advantages
to be derived from the use of money
were lost, and there was nothing left for
the people to do but to go back to bar
ter, and this they did more than once.
They cannot be said now to have coin
age; 900 years ago they made round
coins with square hole in the middle,
and they have made no advance beyond
that since. The well-knovn cash is a
cast brass coin of that description, and,
although it is valued at one mill and 8
half of our money, and has to be strung
in lots of /, 200 to be computed with any
ease, it is the sole measure of value and
legal tender of the country. Spanish,
Mexican, and our new trade dollars are
employed in China; they pass because
they are necessary for larger operations.

PODe Leo XIII.

The accession of Cardinal Pecci to
the "Chair of Peter" is hailed with
manifest satisfaction by his subjects.
This satisfaction is based exclusively. of
course, upon his reputation as prelate
and his personal qualities as a man.
While opinions appear to differ concern
ing his probable course in relation to
the vexed question of the temporal
power, criticism, Protestant and Catho-
lie, Is unanimous in praise of his ability,
his courtliness of address, and dignity of
character. IF his assumption of the
name of Leo XIII. may be accepted as
the key to the principles by which his
administration is to be motived, the aus
pices under which his reign begins may
eliminate In a record of splendid service
to art, civilization, and humanity, for
which the Office of pope affords perhaps
greater opportunities than that Of any
other crowned ruler.
Indeed, in appearance, in characteris-
tics and in tastes Leo XIII at once sug-
gests Leo XII. This one is So; Leo
XII. was ga when installed. The lat
ter, though greatly worn by sickness,
possessed the suavity of address which
has been so much observed in Cardinal
Pecci. Like him, Leo XII. was of un-
usual stature. OF hne, frank cOuntenance

The Mexican BOrder-Cruel Effects Of
the GreaSer Raids.

From the voluminous testimony given
before the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions by Judge Russell, of Brownsville,
Tex the following interesting informa-
ton is extracted Judge Russell is at
present the City Attorny of Brownsville.
He has been District Judge and Senator
for the Rio Grande District. He has
lived in that district eight years, during
which time predatory warfare, by Mex
leo, against the property of Texans has
existed. The manner in which it has
been carried Oh has been so extensive as
to warrant the belief that it was with the
knowledge if not with the connivance of
the Mexican authorities. The raids have
been mostly for the purpose of stealing
cattle, but many of the most wanton and
cruel murders have been committed by
the marauding par ties when necessary
to accomplish their object or prevent
discovery. Uaited States Custom
Houses have been invaded, Postoffices
sacked and burned, the wealth of the
the country destroyed, citizens killed on
the highway and in the presence of their
families, and women violated on the Rio
Grande borders below Laredo to such
an extent and in such a manner as to
challenge belief. For many years an al
most organized war by a great number
of the Mexican population against the
border inhabitants has existed. But few
days, at any ne time, have elapsed with
out the community being startled by the
news of the killing of citizens and the
driving of cattle into Mexico by the rob-
bers These raids have extended into
the interior of Texas, distance of $50
miles from the border. Formerly the
stock-raisers were in independent cir
cumstances, but now nearly all within
100 miles of the Rio Grande are compar-
atively impoverished. It is a common
thing to find parties who few years
since had considerable stock and now
have none. For about 100 miles back
from the river there has been almost
total destruction of the cattle-wealth.
With the people who make these raids
the extradition treaty is no remedy, and
does not apply to the parties committing
them. = Washington Cor. Chicago

HIimDSeS of Lincoln.

So much has been written about Lin
coins private life and personal habits,
that it seems unnecessary now to add
more than word. He was simple in all
his tastes; liked old songs and old
poetry. He was always neatly, but not
finically dressed. He disliked glover
and once I saw him extract seven or
eight pairs of gloves from an overcoat
pocket, where they had accumulated
after having been furnished him by Mrs.
Lincoln. Usually he drank tea and
coffee at the table, but he preferred milk,
or cold water. Wine was never on the
table at the White House, except when
visitors, other than familiar friends, were
present. The Presidents glass was al
ways filed, and he usually touched it to
his lips. Sometimes he drank a few
swallows, but never a whole glass, prob
ably. He was cordial and affable, and
his simple hearted manners made
strong impression upon those who met
him for the first time. I have known
impressionable women, touched by his
sad face and his gentle bearing, to go
away in tears. Once found him sitting
in his chair SO collapsed and weary that
he did not look up or speak when ad-
dressed him. He put out his hand, me-
chanically, as if to shake hands, when I
told linn had come at his bidding. It
was several minutes before he was reused
enough to say that he chad had
mighty hard day." Once, too, at a re-
ception in the White House, I joined
the long "queuo" of people, shook
hands with him, received tie usual
"Glad to see you Sir" and passed on.
Later in the evening, meeting me, he
declared that he had not seen me before,
and explained his preoccupation of man
ner while the people were shaking hands
with him by saying that he was think
ing of man down South" 1t afterward
came out that "the man down South"
was Sherman. Once, when visitor used
profane language in his presence, he rose
and said, 81 thought Senator @. had
sent me gentleman. I WAS mistaken.
There is the door, and wish you good
night" At another time delegation
from distant State waited on him with
written protest against certain appoint
ments. The paper contained some re-
Elections upon the character of Senator
Baker, Lincoln's old and beloved friend.
With great dignity, the President said
"This is my paper which you have
given me ?" Assured that it was, he
added, "To do with as please p " Ger
tainly, Mr.. Pre- sident. Lincoln stopped
to the fire place behind him, laid it on
the burning Goals, turned and said,
GOOD day, gentlemen. Noah Brooks,

DAVID DOMAINS CAREER.
From the GalIows to the Presidency
the Missouri State Senate.

the Missouri State Senate.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
The Hon. Fred Horn, one of the early
settlers OF Wisconsin, and who has
served several times as Speaker of the
Assembly of that State, is writing some
interesting letters to Milwaukee paper
about the old settlers. He relates as
follows of well-known citizen of Mis-.
souri,:
"Another tragedy, in which one of
the old settlers, who could be found
here during the sessions of the Terrific
rial Legislature as an outsider or an Off
Ger, played part, took place in Wauke-
sha county in the year 1916. David
Bonham was elected by the House of
Representatives in that year Sergeant
alarms, and soon after shot and killed
man at or near his homestead in dis
pute about the possession of saw-mill.
Bonham was standing in the mill armed
with gun, and deliberately waited the
coming of his unsuspecting victim, and,
as soon as the latter was in sight, shot
him down and killed him on the spot,
without warning. The jury 5000 agreed
on verdict of murder in the first de-
gree, and the criminal was sentenced to
be hanged at Racine; the gallows was
erected, the military from Milwaukee
had gone to the former place to keep
order on the day of execution, when, a
few hours before it was to take place, a
paper arrived from Gov. Dodge COM
muting the sentence If my cid friend,
George P. Delaplalne, the private sec
rotary of Gov. Dodge and the special
messenger on that occasion, had delayed
on the road but q few hours, David Bon
ham would never have been President
of the Missouri State Senate, which
place he occupied some twelve years ago,
but would have swung from the gallows
erected for him at Racine.
"Bonham was good natured but an
impulsive. and easily-e1cited English
man. He never felt any remorse for
the murder he committed; at any rate 1
could detect nothing of the kind in a
long letter written to Mr.. Noonan while
the former was at the height of his glory
in Missouri, and which Mr.. Noonan gave
me for perusal The letter was full of
expressions of gratitude to Mr.. Noonan
for having saved his life, and showed at
least that he remembered his friends,
which is a virtue not often to be found
in these degenerate days when every
body is filed with selfshness, and is cal
culating on future contingencies by
stepping over the bodies of his slaugh-
tered friends to obtain higher honors. :"
