The Gold I'm the World.

The entire amount of gold In the
world at present Is estimated at nearly
seven billions ($7, 900, ,000, ,0O0) of value
in United States coinage. A billion Is
such big number that the average
mind scarcely takes 1t in. A thousand
million is more readily cOmprehended;
consequently seven thousand millions
means more, verbally and financially,
than seven billions. How much solid
gold would that make? Pure gold is
more than nineteen times as heavy as
water, and cubic foot OF water weighs
1000 ounces avoirdupOis. A cubic foot
of gold would weigh, therefore, over
$4,000 ounces avOirdupOis, and each
ounce of fine gold is worth, as we
reckon, rather more than SIS; SO that
a cubic foot of the precious metal
would have a valve OF about 1886, ,33333.
A cubic yard of gold, being twenty
seven times as much, woulI be worth
over $4,000, 900, and 200 cubic yards
would contain considerably more than
whole sum of gold on the
globe. All Of 1t might be contained 10

changes of policy that party proposes, and
have seen the terrible effects of those pro-
posals upon business and industry of all
kinds. The country can now judge intelli-
gently what disasters would follow the
| threatened reversal of policy. 1t can judge
whether it would pay to leave the Solid South
to take care of the war debt, and of the vast
financial and industrial interests which stand
or fall as the Government is faithful or faith
less. This is not a matter of sentimental
Unionism. 1t is a terribly practical matter to
the labor of mills, mines, furnaces and facto-
rics, and to the capital of banks and financial
institutions. Those who want Democratic
government want financial revolution and'i in
dustrial earthquake.
Bankruptcy of the Nation has few tertors
for those who feel that its debt was incurred
in their defeat. 1t is not strange that this
House has caused large deficiency of reve-
nue. already by its mere threats of change;
not strange that, notwithstanding that def
cheney. it has voted to cut down the revenue
by twelve millions, and to increase the ex-
penditures by sixteen millions. But the
claims and jobs, amounting to many hundred
millions. upon which this House has not act
ed because the Senate would certainly defeat
them, remind the prudent business man or Ia
borer of the probable result if a Democratic
House and a Democratic Senate meet next
year.
1t ought to be the first duty of men who
care for the business prosperity of the coun-
try, whether capitalists or workmen, bankers
or borrowers, lenders or depositors. manufac-
turers or operatives, to take care that DEM
ocratic House shall not be elected next Fall.
That party ought to be punished by its own
conservative voters, for the fearful losses
which its misbehaVior this year has caused.
1t ought to be punished by all who care for
the honor of the Union, because it has been
restrained from reputation only by Republi-
can votes. 1t ought to be punished by all
who want sensible legislation, for its stupid
ity and incompetence.

Meadow Talk.

A Bundle bee, yellow as gold,
Sat perched on a red clover top,
When a grasshOpper, wiry and old,
Came along with skipand hop.
"GOOd morrow :" cried he, ''Mr. Bundle Bee
You seem to have come to a STOP"
''We people that work."
Said the pee with jerk,
''Find benefit sometimes in stopping;
Only insects like you,
Who have nothing to do,
Can keep up perpetual hopping"
The grasshopper paused on his way,
And thoughtfully hunched up his knees;
''Nhy trouble this sunshiny day."
QuOth he, with reflections like these?
follow the trade for which was made;
We all can't be wise bumble.bee
There's time to be sad,
And time to be glad;
A time both for working and stopping;
For men to make money,
For you to make honey,
And for me to do nothing but hopping"

Farmers Wives.

A farmers wife is indignant at the
"bOsh" written about farmers wives as
household drudges and objects of com.
miseratiOn. She says there are many
women in cities who work as hard and
have not the pleasant homes, pure air
and plenty that surrounds the farmers
wives. But what can they do bu;
work, If they have not the means to
hire help to assist them In their work?
True, farmers must work, but IL
they should spend their summers
picknicking, and donate their fruits,
etc., 10 hospitals, who would provide
bread and butter for their city cousins,
who are engaged in intellectual pur.
suits, but who are so nearly allied to
their country relations that they must
be fed with the common herd? And it
is not true that most farmers are trying
TO get all the land they can, and ne
gltct to provide comforts for their
families. Very many are trying to pay
what they have, and give their children
better educations than they themselves
have had. Women of this nineteenth
century are no more slaves than their
husbands are tyrants; and all women
cannot be Mrs. LivermOres and Anna
DickinsOns, though we do all admire
then,:but they can fill the positions
they have been PLACED In. l am sur
prised that 1t is not well>known fact
that the machinery that saves the
farmer saves his wife as well, As 1t does
away with the great bugbear OF u
farmers wife, strange men in the
family, and gives the farmer,mOre time
to assist his wife. Let us'not as Ameri.
can women learn to look down on our
work, and think it degrading, but let
US so teach our daughters to love their
work and save their muscle and nerves,
and they will not be household
drudges, but happy, cheerful women,
doing their part well in the great
drama OF life, for women must work
and women must pray while the world
stands.

Saved by a Buffalo.

The butfalOes of India are domestica
ted. Though uncertain as to theiI
temper towards strangers, they are
very much attached to their keepers
Reared from the day of their birth in
the hut OF their master, they grow UP
with the children and cling to them
through life. A Buffalo bull will de-
fend his master from the attack of IL
ger, and buffalo once saved her mas
ter's life by her attachment TO him.
Among the prisoners taken by the
English troops, on the day after they
had thrashed a rebel chief, was a man
with wife, mother and q buffalo
COW. He was not a soldier, but camp
follower. The women were let 20, the
cow dashed into the jungle, and the
man marched off.
The march was a long, hot one,
through valleys and over hills. But the
buffalo never lost sight of her master,
though she would not come near the
soldiers.
While marching through the thick
jungle, the man would now and then
give call. Immediately the faithful
buffalo, answering with grunt, would
come crushing through the thicket.
When she saw the red coats of the SOL
diers, she would stop, utter below
and disappear.
About the middle of the afternoon
the troops halted by the side OF small
stream. All we're tired, hot and hun.
cry. The native looking at the COM
mander, said:
'Sahib, If you will unite my hands, 1
will give you all milk
His hands were united, and he called
to mis- buffalo. She came out of the
jungle but would not approach the
troops.
'Sahib,' said the man, you must let
me go to her. l will not run away
Very well,' replied the officer, you
shall go to her. Bnt mind, il you run,
this rifle never misses. You'll drop
dead before you've gone three yards
Taking glass drinking vessel from
one of the men, the native went to his
buffalo, MIXED her and returned. The
milk was very refreshing to the tired
men, and the officer was grateful. He
determined to release his prisoner.
That evening the prisoner was told
to be off. With a low prostration he
blessing on the officers
head, and bounded into the Jungle.
The last heard of him was his cali to
the buffalo and her answering grunt
as she ran to meet him.

The Democrats, when they look at the
matter closely, will not be able to congratu'
late themselves upon the action of the major
ity of the Democratic House. What good
legislation it proposed and adopted is several
times oyer balanced by the bad legislation
consummated and the omission to do the
things that should have been done. The
Democratic leaders in Congress have failed to
fulfill the pledges upon which they were
elected. The appropriations are fully $40,
000, 900 in excess of the requirements OF the
country. Had they been made wisely and
judiciously, the appropriations for ordinary
expenditures should not have exceeded $40,
0O0, 900 at the outside limit, while the extra
ordinary expenditures would not have ex.
ceeded six or seven millions, making the total
appropriations less than $14S, 100000. In
fact, had the Democratic leaders in Congress
redeemed their pledges, the total sppropria'
tions ordinary and extraordinary would not
exceeded $145, 900, ,ooo 1t is no defense Cor
them to point to the fact that the last Repub'
licau Congress appropriated $177, 1000, 900.
1t was Republican extravaganza in the House
that changed the political complexion Of that
body, and a Democratic majority was sent
there in the hope that saving of from $25,
ooo,o 900 to $50, 900, 900 per year would be ef'
fected. Nor is it good defense to say that
the Senate increased appropriations. In the
matter of creating and fixing revenues the
House is almost omnipotent, and if it will place
itself on the right ground, public opinion will
always compel the Senate and Executive to
come toit. The Democratic party has lost its
opportunity by the failure of its leaders in Con
gress to redeem their pledges Of retrenchment
and reform.

Astonishing Resemblance OfTwO
Brothers.

St. Louis Globe Democrat.
In this city are two twin brothers,
whose resemblance to each other is so
strong that it is daily occurrence for
for one to be mistaken for the other by
their most intimate friends. They
compose the law firm of Thomas &
Thomas; the one ia Theodore H., the
other Herman Il. They are about %
years old. The only difference that
can be perceived between them is that
the nasal organ of one turns about the
hundIedth part of an inch TO the right,
while that of the other is bent Just as
much to the left.
MesSrs. Thomas & ThOm.S are very
genteel in their dress and department.,
small of Stature-abOut five feet six and
1lalf-and quiet in their intercourse
with other men. Both speak German
f1uently, and both are shorthand wri-
ters. They have the same tastes aud
appetites, drink the same quantity of
water during the day and eat the same
amount of food. Their similarity in
dress is the result of taste, and not of a
design. When one gets suit OF clothes
made he does not consult the other,
and ii always happens that both select
the same material, and have 1t made
up In the same fashion. They are IN
married ,and live together OnGeyer ave-
nue. and occupy the same business Of
flee. 1t frequently happens that eli
ent, meets the other and reneWs the
subject, and marvels when told he Is
talking to "the other Thomas" 1t is
related-but this is probably an inven-
tiOn-that one of the brothers paid his
addresses to young lady, and made
so favorable an impression that Ii was
thought there would be match; but
the other happened to see her, and ia
king a fancy to her also, compile
ted the conquest which his brother had
begun. When she saw them together
she could not decide which she loved
best, and SO the matter remained in
Obeyance.
1t is a rule in the Circuit Court that
but one attorney on each side shall ex-
anime witnesses. In q recent trial, In
which Thomas & Thomas were engag-
ed, this rule was violated by them in a
very deXterOuS manner. Stepping to
one side as If for private consultation,
they exchanged chairs, and no one
could tell that 1t was not the same one
who had before occupied the seat. In
Obio way tACy lCIICNSu SdCu ObucIg
while the lawyer on the other side had
to stop from exhaustion.
Mr.. Thomas said circuit Judge a
short time ago, are you ready to argue
that motion now?'
What motion, your HONOR
The motion you spoke of yesterday
Your Honor, [ was not in the court
room yesterday
Your memory must be very short,
sir. l saw you here.' tt
Not me, your Honor
Il know 1t was you; and if you trifle
with the court / shall have to fine you
for contempt, SIR il
Your honor, it was my motion, said
the other Thomas, entering the room.
The judge looked at the two Thomases
in amazement, and recovering his good
humor, remarked that nature had |
plagiarism In the case OF
one of them, he couldn't tell which.
Many amusing incidents might be
related of the every day life of these
duplicate men, but as they |
are extremely modest gentlemen, and
dislike notoriety, the above must suf-
flee for the present.

AN English gentleman writes to say
that he never found FrenchInan who
could pronounce this: "Thimblerig
Thistlethwaite thievishly thought to
thrive through thick and thin by
throwing his thimbles about, but he
was thWarted and thwacked and
thumped and thrashed with thirty
three thousand thistles and thorns for
thievis hly thinking to thrive through
thick and thin by throwing the Thin
bic about" So should suppose. But
the English people are just as unable to
pronounce the French liquid as the
French people to pronounce the En-
glish III. But it is still more difficult
for any one who is not Spaniard TO
pronounce Madrid In Spanish. The d
must at once be d and dh without
being either.
