Will any person please tell US why the

an exclusively monopoly over the coinage
Of this country to the mine owners and
bullion brokers in silver and goldP Why
not say to the iron and copper producers,
Gentlemen, bring all the surplus ore to
the United States mint and have it coined
into eagles, half eagles, dollars and hall
dollars? The government has given this
special privilege to the gold Shylock.
Why not say to the boot and shoe maker,
Each boot end shoe you have on hand that
you can't dispose of, bring to the mint
and have it stamped five dollars? Why
not say 10 the farmer. Every buahel Of
beans you raise shall be a legal tender for
three dollarsp There would be as much
sense in this as there is in making the
mine owners commodities legal tender
and giving them aprivilege to stamp their
bullion into dollars. We want no such
special privileges given to any class to
make corporate monsters What need is
there for gold and silver money in this
country? Do not greenbacks answer ev.

A Dog that Drinks Beer.
From the PHILADELPHIA Record,

From the Phllhdclpha Necords
They have a dog out at Bergner &
Engel'S that drinks beer. "He drinks
much more as you do," said one of the
attaches Of the brewery, tall muscular
German, slightly out of 'form" by the use
of the beverage of the Fatherland. The
dog, DANISH hound, was lying in front
of his kennel, to which he was secured by
heavy chain, his nose close to the
ground, his eyes closed, save now and
then, when he opened them lazily rs wag-
ons piled with empty kegs came into the
yard and dumped their loads into an al
ready immense pile of empty packages.
Felix, the dog, is described as ''bad 'un. "
He is kept chained during the day, but is
allowed to roam around the yard at night
to make acquaintance with intruders.
He spends his freedom in shifting around
the kegs and watts, seeking beer. In the
morning before being chained he is given
some beer which he laps up with relish
and says "Ah!" The men say he will
drink a half bucket OF the liquor a day;
that is, in summer. In cold weather he
will take a great deal more. seeming to be
aware that there is heat in the malt, Felix
was imported from Vienna, and probably
contracted taste for beer before leaving
home However that may be, he is o con-
l6rmed beer-driuker now.
''Do any Of the horses drink beerp"
was asked Of the tall German spoken Of.
"0h yah; dots what makes brewers
horses so fat. We got big pipe running
over to der stable, and we keep dem full
up
"But your hostlers say they never saw a
horse drink beer"
"Ohl veil, dey don't give 'em a chance,
dots all. Dey want der beer for DEM
selves, and then the speaker told Of how
they gave post horses wine in Austria
when there is not time TO stop for dinner.
He said they take a large basin, filled
with WINE, into which they put slices Of
rye bread. This, he said, the horses ate
with gusto and went off with great speed
and required no food until evening.

A letter from Il lady residing in Califor'
mia recalls romantic episode connected
with the writer The lady, school
teacher in the country, estimable and well
educated, who had passed out of her
twenties, but was of a very romantic and
imaginative disposition, about two years
ago, while on visit to Franklin Pa,
formed the acquaintance Of a lady who
had brother, a bachelor, IN California.
This brother had written to his sister to
procure him lady correspondent in the
East. The sister showed the letter to Miss
S., and, after some persuasion and warm
praise of the absent brother, obtained her
promise that ii he would write to her she
would reply Soon after her return home
she received letter, and this vas the be-
ginning of quite an animated correspon-
dence. Photographs were exchanged,
and finally, the gentleman proposed and
was accepted by the lady. But now came
the startling proposition for her to JON
him in San Francisco, where they would
be married To this the lady demurred,
but after a good deal Of pleading upon his
part, and the plea that his business in
terests would not allow him to come East
for sometime, she consented, and he sent
her money to defray the expenses of the
Journey, and about a year after the cor
respondence began she set out alone to
meet her unseen lover. After a pleasant
trip she arrived in San Francisco, where
Mr.. C. met her. 1t was case Of mutual
love at first sight, and neither had any
wish to secede from the contract. A car
riage was procured, and they were driven
to the residence Of a relative where they
were speedily united, and at once pro-
ceeded to Mr.. G. S residence, about twenty
miles from San Francisco, where he had a
home prepared for his bride, and now,
after the lapse of a year, the incident is
revived by the letter referred to, in which
the lady writes that she has no reason to
regret that she threw up the ferule in
Jefferson County. and set out towards the
setting sun to seek her fortune. She
speaks in glowing terms of her lovly, lux.
urious home on the Pacific Slope, and
eulogizes in fond terms him who she says
is "the best husband in the world"

GOLD, silver, nickel, copper, platinum,
tin, iron and all other metals which have
been used as substances upon which to
stamp money are inferior for that use to
paper, because coins are too heavy to carry

unsafe to freight.

MONEY needs not to possess value in
itself, for all the function money can per-
form is to certify that the bearer has per-
formed a service to the human family and
is entitled to receive the valve of his labor
in something he may wish in exchange
for it. A paper bill will do this better
than a coin.

SPURIOUS coins are not so easily detected
as spurious bills. 1t is difficult to de-
tect false material or short weight IN
coins. Coins are sand-papered, filed,
Clipped, scrapcd, bored hollow, and filled
with lead, eaten with acids, and punched
for the sake of the metal which can thus
be stolen from them. Greenbacks are not
subject to these ills.
