THE PLACE WHERE THE SILVER
ALL GOES.

General Dix has received an elaborate
letter from relative residing in Yoso-
hama, says the New York Graphic, pre-
ssntinR in detail the statistics of the alb
sorption of silver by the East during the
past ten years. Even in the last five
years the figures are sufficiently startling.
In 1873 the East absorbed 500. 600. 900 in
silver, and in 1877 over 500, 900, 600.
Though the averaged price was higher
last year than in 1876. yet the exports
from the West to the East were in 1877
in excess of those of 1876. According to
General Di1's correspondent. the West
i. playing madly into the hands OF
the East. The shrewd merchants
of China, India and Japan are SELL
ing off oil their psrishable commodities
in exchange for silver. The West is sac
rifoing one OF it's precious metals, SIM
ply because surplus Of it has been arbi-
trarily created. This view Of the matter
10 the more worthy Of attention because
Mr.. Rathbone. OF Liverpool. has lately
called attention to the danger to lsgit-
mate trade which lies in the large import
ations of perishable commodities from
the East. Like sensible person. Gen.
sral Di1's correspondent sees that the
East IL fully able to absorb permanent
~ oil the surplus silver that Europe and
America can send her, and that as soon
- the present artificial surplus Of silver
10 exhausted, which will DO at an early
day. the price Of that precious metal will
rise. He also recommends that Ameri-
can merchants sell their goods for silver
wherever they can find purchaser at
reasonable rates. The Graphic says
slowly the public mind has become en-
lIghtsned on the silver question. and 1t
will not DO many years before even the
New York press will be able to oompre-
bend tho problem and state the matter
without the introduction of personalities.

4 Queer Convention Of Crows.

PASSENGERS on the S:35 train bound
south Friday morning looked with Won
der upon flock of about five hundred
crows all huddled together on the ice
south of Low Point and about six hum
drcd feet from the shore. They faced
each other about half and half, and
were so close together that they jostled
against each other in hopping about.
About ten feet west of them sat a large
bald-hcaded American eagle perched
upon a cake of ice which had been
thrown up on the main body of the ice
by the action of the wind and tide. 1t
looked as though the eagle had by COM
mon consent been appointed Chairman
of the Convention, and that something
of an important nature was taking
place. So intent was this strange Con-
vcntion upon the business in hand that
neither the roar of the train nor the
shrek of the engines whistle disturbed
it in the least. The sun shOne full and
bright upon the singular spectacle, and
the dignity and solemnity of the preside
ing officer were remarked by all. On
no part of the ice surrounding, for u
long distance, could be seen a dead car
cass of any kind, nor was there any
open water visible, in which the crows
or eagle could fish. 1t was, perhaps, y
Labor Convention, devising ways and
means for appeasing immediate hum
ger. We watched them till the train
shot out of sight around a curve, and
the Chairman was still on the platform,
and the members of the Convention
were still huddled together. 1t is
probable they were in executive ses-
sion" and we shall never know of the
cause of the novel gathering.-Pough-

A Touching Letter.

EVERYONE knows the story of the
little girl who, wishing to ask some-
thing Of Heaven, wrote letter to God,
which she put into the hands of the
Virgins statue in the parish church.
A circumstance nearly analogous has
just taken place near Marchiennes, in
Belgium, A girl named Blanche was
in the service of Monsieur and Mad
anne c., who were much attached to
her on account of her fidelity and piety.
Some days ago Madame c. fell i'll and
died very suddenly.
The day after her death. Blanche,
profiting when the corpse, already pre-
pared for the grave, was alone, made
her way into the chamber of death,
lifted the shroud and then retired pre-
cipitately.
Those who saw her suspected she
might have been trying to pilfer the
jewelry of the corpse. Search was
made and nothing was found missing,
but there was letter in the dead wom-
ans hand. This being opened, was
discovered to be a letter from Blanche
to her mother, dead long time before.
1t was as follows:
"MY DEAR AND Coon MOTHER:
This is to let you know that M. Il. has
asked me to marry him; as you are no
longer here, l beg you will let me
know in dream, if l ought to marry
him, and to give me your consent. In
order to communicate with you profit
by the occasion of Nine. c., who is 60
ing to Heaven"
This letter, which bore the super
scription, ITO my mother Josephine,
who is in Heaven!'' is truly a poem of
Ingenious piety.-RaNinore Bulletin.

The Island OF Sicily.

Soon after dawn, on the oath, the
passage of the Straits of Messina was
safely made, and snowy Etna doomed
up nearly II 600 feet above the level of
the sea. The base of the volcano is said
to be eighty miles and the crater two
miles in circumference. Its sides rep
resent all the varieties Of climate. AT
the base is the balmy Sicilian atmos-
phere; higher up is the wooded belt of
medium temperatures; higher still are
the great lava beds, without veget:-
ton, and Gaping all is the snow-coy-
cred crater. At present there are no
indications of activity in Etna, not
even that of issuing smoke. Sicily is
the largest island of the Mediterra-
mean, measuring about 100 by l75
miles. Its products are oranges, lem
ons, olive oil, hemp, flax, licOrice. etc,
as well as considerable trade in wines.
The population is about 2,5O0,O0O, the
mo, Catania, Mcssina and Syracuse.
The latter is the remnant of the great
Syracuse of ancient times, which with
stood the siege of the Greeks under
Alcibiades and Nicias. and aftcrward
succumbed to the Romans in spite of
the effective mechanical genius of its
son, Archimedes. At the latter end of
the seventeenth century Syracuse was
almost totally destroyed by an earth
quake. 1t was at Palermo, on Easter
Day of 1882, that the celebrated coup
detat known as .hc Sicilian Eespers
was effected. Charles of Anjou. King
of France, had been placed on the
throne of Sicily by the presumptive in
vestment of Pope Urban w. The
rightful heir was Peter ILL, King of
Aragon, whose wife was Il daughter of
Manfred. The latter had murdered
his brother. Frederick H., to obtain the
succession, but was slain in the warwhich
placed Charles of Anjou in power after
his appointment by the Pope. At All
understood signal the Sicilians arose
on Easter Day, slew all the French on
the island, and crowned Peter III. of
Aragon King of Sicily. The King of
France sent fleet to restore his au-
thority, but it was defeated by the adj
herents of the King of Aragon, whose
throne was thus finally made secure

The Effect OF Poisonous Literature on
the Minds OF Boys.

On Wednesday last, in New York, a
boy of twelve shot another aged eleven,
and dangerously wounded him. This
other, in New York City alone, since
the LIST of January. Other instances Of
a similar nature have been recorded
from Boston and elsewhere. 1t seems
that new kind of crime is thus forcing
itself upon the attention of the authori-
ties. A few years since this kind of
infantilc tragedy was comparatively I'M
known, but now hardly day passes
that the telegraph does not announce
from some part of the country death
or dangerous wound inflicted by play
mate on comrade, and, generally, the
ages are about the same as given
above. The principal cause of this sort
Of thing is not far to seek. During late
years there has sprung up sort of toad
stool literature, which poisons the I'M
matured intellect of boys even more
surely than the genuine toadstool would
poison him corporeally. The traffic in
this vile trash has grown to such an ex-
tent that determined crusade should
be made against it until it is sup
pressed. Boys read the stuff, and they
want to be pirates or robbers, ant, live
in caves and escape from tyrannical
strongholds, vulgarly termed jails, and
annihilate minions Of the law, alias po-
licemen. They want to prowl and
flash fire from their dauntless eyes, and
wear a cold, stern, hard demeanor,
which is supposed to show a secret grief
within. In other words, they want to
make unmitigated fools of themselves,
and they succeed. Their natural pro-
pensities are bad enough, without slim
illus being given to them by the miser-
able lunacies that make the boys pub
locations of to-day unfit for any sane
person to read.-Detron Free Press.
