SENATOR BLAINE's VIEws-There is q proba-
bic way out of our difficulty of fixing our
coin standard, especially should the bill
pass and be vetoed by the President. 1t
must be done by a compromise. There are
those who honestly think we must have
more money in circulation-callit it imitation
or what we mayor the debtor class who
number four out Of every five, will 20 on
getting poorer and poorer. Senator Blaine
steps in between the two extreme mesures,-
the Bland bill and single standard, with a
double standard, but making the silver
coin Of a higher standard.
Mr. Blaine is not in favor of dollar that
shall be worth less than a gold dollar, but
he is in favor Of double standard, and
thinks that it can be attained by the issue
of "A 425-grain silver coin. There is no doubt
that Mr.. Blaine will vote against the Bland
bill in any shape in which it will pass the
Senate, and the definition Of his position
on the subject which he gave in his speech,
has, 50 far as this point is concerned,
brought encouragement to the advocates Of
honest money. His definite reputation
of the Bland bill makes the enactment Of
a 92 cert dollar in spite Of the veto of the
President, more Improbable than ever.
Eastern business men have steadily in
sisted that if the worst comes to the worst,
and the silver experiment must be tried,
we should at least put hundred cents
worth Of silver into the dollar Mr.. Blaine
plants n:u>eu on this proposition. He in.
sist that Congress has no Constitutional
right to ..o, Irnr dcmonstized, and pro.
pose ..iar Of 42j grains. The
proposition Is plausible. Neither view ot
the subject is free from difficulties, nor is il
probable that tho last authoritative word in
the discussion has yet been spoken.

Bennett in his curiosities of Animal and
Vegetable Life, says: Tie Australian dog
never barxs. Indeed, it is remarked by
Mr.. Gardiner, in his "iIusic Of Nature"
that "dogs in a state of nature never bark /;
they simply whine, howl, and growl. This
explosive noise is only found among those
which are domesticated." Lonnini speaks
of the shepherds dogs in the wilds of
Egypt as not having tlIis faculty; and
Columbus found the dogs which he had
previously carried to America to have lost
their propensity to barking. The barking
OF a dog is an acquired faculty-an effort
to speak, which is derived from his associ.
ating with man.

A BIC SILVER LOBBY.-.The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore San says:
The belief is growing here that a gigantic
lobby has been organized to work up the
silver idea, not only in the halls of Con-
gress, but with the people. 1t has already
been asceftained that a well-known veteran
lobbyist is'~the engineer of the movement
to secure signers to petitions in New York
and the Eastern States in favor of the silver
bill. With a little money there is no
trouble about getting plenty of signatures,
fictitious or otherwise, to Utmost everything.
That money has been spent here and is
still being distributed. not in an altogether
legitimate way is generally accepted as ad'
mitting of no doubt. One result oi the
nntiresumption movement is already seen
in the future, and that i, the loss of New
York State to the democrats next Fall 10y
$4,000 votes. or this there is no doubt.

Sutro Tuunsl as a Ventilator.

The opening of the Sutro Tunnel
has already had a marked effect
upon the temperature of the air In
the Savage mine. The draft COM
ing in through the tunnel had
cooled down from ITO to 95 de.

current has also set in through The
lower levels of the mine below the
line of the Tunnel, and they are
cooling off rapidly. The hot air
rises and the cool air rushes down
to take its place. The temperature
of the water in the mine has not
changed, and still remains at about
155 degree. Work has been COM
menced in the crosscuts on the
2, 100 foot level. The temperature
in the mine is steadily lowering,
and in few days it will probably
be thoroughly cooled off.

the opening Of the tunnel will have

Some three weeks ago Julien
Ordoigne of Rayou Chocta, came
to me for advice relating to a
child OF four years old suffering
with its eyes he wished to know
whether | thought it advisable,
for him to consult a physician
The child was born with the
white of it's eyes bloody and has
always suffered with them. At
the time he consulted me, the
child could not raise the balls at
all. nor could it bear the light;
was always confined to some
dark corner !; The parents were
in great distress, the fathers
anxiety plainly seen in his face.
/ told him that there was no oc-.
casion to see a physician, the
remedy for sore eyes being very
simple and infallible.
"Let your wife fill a hottie with
rain water let her hold it up and
! ask God to bless it !; then rubbing
it with her hands let her imagine
that virtue proceeds from her fin
gers ends capable of curing her
childs affection, let her rub
one bottle of water about two
minutes, then let the child drink
a table spoonful three times a
day. wash four or five times
using a compress when conve-
nient. If you do this You may
be assured the child will recovern
The man believed and his child
was cured. 1t took ten days to
effect the cure, but in four days
the child was so much better,
that the overjoyed father fetched
it with him to see me. l write
You this for Mr.. A. Roger whose
child ought be so benefited. The
receipt is old but faith which
dwells with the simple of heart
is necessary. If a man sees may
he believe.

FUSION SUGGESTED allow me to
ask a few questions. with a view
of gaining information. Everyone
knows that Chackbay is republi-
can. and as such we are all clad
to see articles in our county pa
per signed by Republicans. W.
regret however that our minds
lack culture sufficient to seize the
full meaning of the letter written
June-2lth, in which a fusion was
suggested what is "an affective
fusion based upon material res.
pect." Does a barrel of money
mean that we will be bribed.
Please let us have plain english
words, no latin, no slang, give us
language like that in which Won
