Some Hard Pan PrODosltions.

From the Chicago Express.
Hard panner-"There is as much mon.
ey IN circulation as there ever was"
Tramp and Mudsill-"0ur experience
repels the proposition.
H-"The rich came to the rescue and
saved the nation"
7. and M.-0ur experience is that the
various kinds of money which prosecuted
the war was issued by the government, Or
nearly the whole of the same, and that the
war was nearly or quite over before this
money was taken from us and other mon
ey substituted. Further, we have some.
how come to believe that capital is not
very sympathetic or patriotic. Also, we
remember reading some thing of the camel
and needles eye, the rich man and heaven,
etc."
H-"The bonds should be exempt from
taxation"
7. and M.-"We have heard something
of nobility and of people: something Of
Hamilton's rich and well born. and the
mass of the people, and are mindful that
Hamilton has his followers and his pup
pets to this day"
H-"The value of commodities, includ-
ing gold and silver, depends upon the
amount of labor required to produce
them"
7. and MAJ one time 100 pounds of
pork was worth $40; now it is worth So.
1t took no more labor, to produce the 100
pounds of pork in the first instance than
in the latter"
H-"The government has no power to
take men and property for public use,
therefore no power. to make greenbacks a
lien on the whole property of the nation
for redemption" "
T. and MA state has power to take
the whole of our property for taxes, and it
would seem strange doctrine that the ma
ton has less power than a state"
H-"Gold and silver were made by God
for money"
I. and M.-"We wonder what should
be the penalty Tor demonetizing silver,
and thus violating Gods law.

From the New York Sun.
Sadrian Ross, Jewess, Just turning in
to her sixteenth year, is the daughter o
John Ross,'a clothing dealer, at 0 Hamil
ton avenue, Brooklyn, who has among BIZ
customers many sailors from the vessels
that anchor at Red Hook Point. There
are several daughters in Mr.. Ross fam
| lily, who by turns assist in the store
Sadrian frequently fitted coat to light
haired mate of a Massachusetts, schooner
Charles Dodd, and he in turn fell in love
with the pretty Jewess, and they married
clandestinely. After the marriage, Sad
rian went back to her home and attended
in the store as usual, but she confded her
secret to one sister, then to another, and
they told their father,
Mr.. Ross at once sent to Scandmann'
hotel for Charles DOdd. The Sailor, not
aware that his father-in-law had been
taken into the secret, promptly called.
He found himself in hot water at once.
He was accused of abducting Sadrian,
and Mr.. Ross followed him around the
parlor, shaking fist in his face. Then
Mr.. Ross called in three men from an ad-
ioidng room, and they fell upon DOdd.
He bore the pummeling until one of the
men struck blow that drew blood. Then
with a sailors sheath knife, he stood at
bay and then ran out OF the house. Blood
streamed from his face and head
Mr.. Ross hurried to Justice Fel1y's
Court, and took out warrant against
Dodd for assault and battery but when
the Justice learned the facts he released
the sailor.
Mr.. Ross then determined to keep his
daughter a prisoner in his house. He
locked her in room, and had some mem
ber of his family watch her all day,
while he slept on a mattress outside
her door at night. Dodd, however, had
told his bride that he would stay in the
hotel near by, and then he managed to
slip a message to her.
On Tuesday night last the imprisoned
bride feigned slumber, and, after she
heard her father breathing heavily, she
gathered her clothes in bundle, slipped
over her fathers body and made her way
to the roof. Here she dressed herself,
and then, with her shoes in her hand, she
crossed over the roofs of the houses until
she reached the roof under which her hus-
band slept. She descended through the
scuttle and was soon at his side.
Mr.. Ross was very angry on Wednesday
morning on learning that his daughter
was in the sailors hotel near by with her
husband, and, calling his family together,
he formally disowned her and bade his
other children not even to speak toher.

DARE TO SAY NO.


III sNlDEh.
Dare to say, No, when tempted to drink;
Pause for a moment, my boy, and think;
Think of the wrecks on life's ocean tossed,
For answering, Yes, without counting the cost
Think of the mother who bore you in pain;
Think of the tears that will fall like rain;
Think of the heart-ah how cruel the blow;
Think of her love, and at once answer, No.
Think of tkc hopes that are drowned in tht
bowl
Think of the danger to body and soul;
Think of sad lives once as pure as the snow
Look to them now and at once answer, No.
Think of manhood with rum-tainted breath
Think how the glass leads to sorrow and
death;
Think of the homes that, now shadowed with
woe,
Might have been heaven had the answer been
No.
Think of long graves both unwept and un-
known,
Hiding fair hopes that were bright as your
own,
Think of proud forms now forever laid low,
That still might be here had they learned to
say, No.
Think of the demon that turks in the bowl
Driving to ruin both body and soul;
Think of all this as life's journey you go,
And when you're assailed by the Tempter say,
No.

From the Louisville Commercial
About seven years ago William Elking-
ton was living in England, but unfortu-
nately his wife became insane and was
sent to the asylum. She had not been
there long, before he received news of her
death. The body was sent to her relatives;
who together with her husband mouned
over the remains as those of Mrs. Elking
tour. Shortly after the funeral he wa
married again and came to this country
Finding work in this city, he moved here
and went to housekeeping, and, to hel in
financial matters, his wife took man
named Penny to board. Two children
were born to bless their union, but as usu-
al a change came into their little heaven.
The green-eyed monster jealousy took
possession of Ellington, he thinking that
Penny had won the affections of his wife,
and IN fact such was the case. A few
weeks ago Ellington received word that
his wife in England was still alive, and
that the body buried was that of another
inmate from a distant part of the country.
This settled matters, and his wife left him
and went to New Albany, where she al
owed Penny to call on her. They became
engaged and would have been married
last Wednesday had it not been for Elk
ington receiving word that his wife died
last month, and that he had become the
possessor OF some property, but this good
news caused her to return to her husband.
They were to have been remarked next
Tuesday. Yesterday morning, while Elk
ington was at work at one of the presses
in the Bromaker-Moore paper mill, the
large iron lever which he had in his hand
was caught in the cog-wheel and twisted
from his hands. The handle of the lever
struck him on the head and knocked him
senseless, in which condition he was re-
moved to his home on Fifteenth street.
DR.. George Griffiths was called to dress
his wounds, and found tina. he had receiv-
ed a severe concussion of the brain; his
jaw was fractured, deep cash cut on the
right forehead over the eye, and his body
and arms were badly bruised, but it is
thought he will recover.
