At first sight it may seem unchsrltable
to rejoice over an event which deprives
many of our citizens of their regular en-
ployme1t, but different view will pre-
vail when we state that the sufferers
referred to are none other than our gold
brokers'. What to them is an ill wind
and unwelcome is to the nation at large
an undisguised blessing. The New York
gsld-room was one of the many affiic-
lions generated by our civil war. Born
in speculative era, it quickly grew from
trivial proportions to be O power which
oyershadowed industry and commerce ;
and its operations, beginning with legiti-
mate transactions in the purchase and
sale of banished metal, soon developed
into q gigantic system of gambling. The
mercurial premium marked its highest
point in July, 1864, when one dollar in
gold was exchsngesble for two dollars
and eighty-tive cents in United States
leeal~tender notes. ThencefOrth the
margin steadily diminished. In 1869 a
daring ring raided the market and pushed
the quotations up from 1S42 to 1921,
only to have the fingers OF most OF the
conspirators badly burned In the MEM
orable reaction of Black friday dis
aster from which some of Grants im~
mediate cronies, if not Grant himself,
are reputed to have gathered considerable
spoil. Since then gold and greenbracks,
impelled by the natural laws of trade,
have been slowly but surely grayitatiDg
to the same plane, which they have now
practically reached. On and after We'd
nesday next all commercial and official
fiscal transactions will be conducted on
gold basis, with silver and greenbacks
legally ranking IS of equal value. The
gold broker, like "OGtellO, finds his
occupation gone, and the mourners will
not be many."

DIVISIONS OF TINE.

A solar day is measured BY the rotation
of the earth upon its axis, and is of differ
ent lengths, owing 10 the ellipticity OF
the earth's orbit, and other causes; but a
mean solar day, recorded by the time
piece, is twenty-four hours long.
An astronomical DAY commences at
noon, and is counted from the first to the
twenty fourth hour. A civil day COM
mences at midnight, and is counred from
the first to the twelfth hour, when it is
counted from the first to the twelfth
hour. A nautical day is counted as a
civil day, but commences, like an astro-
nomical day, from noon.
A calendar month varies in length
from % to 81 days. A mean lunar month
is % days, IL hours, Al minutes, 2 Sec
oDds and 8 "a thirds.
A year is divided into 365 days.
A solar year, which is the time occu-
pied by the run in passing from one YER
nal equinox to another. consists of 365 =
4244 solar DAYS. or 365 days, 5 hours, 48
minutes and 40 $50 II cOnds.
A Julian year is 365 days. A Gregg
risn year is 565. 1925 days. Every fourth
year is bissextile, or leap year, and is
366 days. The error of the Gregorian
computation amounts only to one day in
1871 1926 years.

To BE Continued

A good deal has been said about the
emollient influence which women might
exert over caucus meetings if permitted
to be present at them. An incident in
London may be mentioned as an illustra-
ton. At meeting Of the st. Pancras
Guardians, a scene Of great disorder lately
took place and strong personal remarks
were made by the Guardians Of each
other. Just when one feroeious Guardian
was about to put his fist in the face of
another, and general scrimmage seemed
inevitable, lady Guardian rushed for
ward and parted the wranglers. Ladies
of decided views upon the subject will
know how to work up this little episode
in speech or an essay.

Death of Edward 4. Hollister.


EDWARD A. HoLLIsTER, son of Hon. NJ. +. Hol
lister, died at the home of his parents at Easton
Nd, on the It'll inst.
| While to those who saw him on his visit to OF
tawa last winter the above announcement 10 nc
surprise, 1t will be read with pain by many warm
friends of the deceased in this community. E. A
HOLSTER was born in South Ottawa August 9th
1887, and grew up here to manhood. An only
child, with An exceptionally keen intellect, ye
NAL sparkling wit, the highest social qualities
and household as well as society pet from his
youth, no wonder in his earlier days he was q
spoiled boy" and fell prey to habits which
though in maturer years he herOically shook off
yet had much to do with undermining his consti
tuition and fastening his early demise. Having
while young man studied law, he was early ad
mitted to the bar, and for number Of years
while his father was Judge of this circuit, held
the responsible position of Master in Chancery
Along with his legal studies he had devoted him
sell to music, and became an exceptionally fine
pianist, really comparable in that respect with
the masters" He had also in some way &C
quired an accomplishment of whistling with his
lips SO marvellous that he could have made a liv
ing by it on the stage. No wonder this ''boy
was universal favortc and his society courted
nearly to his ruin.
He had, however, the good quality Of cherish.
ing an abiding love for his parents, from whom
he never separated. When, in 1866, Judge Hol-
lister was appointed Consul to Buenos Ayers he
accompanied his parents to South America, re-
manning there until 1859; and in 1871, when his
father was appointed Chief Justice of Idaho, he
accompanied him to that far.of Territory, filing
a clerkship in his court, Long before this time,
it is to be noted, Ed. had ''sown his wild oats"
and not only joined the Episcopal Church in
Boise City, but became one Of its most active and
useful members--one Of the ''wardens," indeed.
1t was perceived, however, that his health was
failing, and 1t was largely on his account that
Judge H. resigned his position in Idaho and pur-
chased home on the Eastern Shore in Mary
land in the hope that the change to milder eli
mate might prove beneficial to his son. The
change, however, Gf the fell destroyer consump-
ton can .,e, be battled by such means), came too
late, and for nearly the entire ak months the
family has lived at Easton, Ed. WAS confined
to his room He was perfectly convinced of his
condition, and bore his illness with entire resig
nation, death having no terrors for him. The
Rev Mr.. Wilson, OF Christ Church, Easton, was
a constant vsitant at his bedside, and the day
before his death administered to him the com.
munon. When the dread hour came there was
no pain, no struggle, but he fell calmly, peace
flu lily asleep, leaving with his aged and grief
stricken parents the divine consolation that
"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for
they rest from their labors."

r. r. ACcIDENT-The Peru Accommodation of
Monday evening met with an opon switch, just
east of the La Sale and Peru depot, near the N.
I. Coal Il Iron Co.'S shaft, while running at 10
miles per hour The engine and baggage car
were thrown from the rails, and the track being
close to and about 10 feet above the canal the
engine was hurled into the water, but the bag
gage car did not roll down the bank, though it
was afterwards cast into the canal to clear the
track. The passenger coaches remained on the
track The engineer, Patrick Brislen, was killed
it is supposed by the fall, and by drowning be-
fore help could reach him, AS the only mark on
his body was a black spot on the breast. He may
have struck the lever OF his engine, which is also
suggested a cause. The fireman was thrown
out of the window Of the cab, though quite .
large man, and was badly bruised On board
the train were about dozen passengers, none Of
whom were badly hurt, though considerably
shaken up Brislen had been in the employ Of
the company for % years and had accumulated
property at EnglewOod valued at some $40, 600
so that his family is provided for. The fireman
will be out again in a few days The RESPONSE.
bity for the accident has not been fixed, the
Waterman claiming he had done his duty. The
company is OF the opinion it was maIciously mis-.
placed by tramps or others. The coroner sum
moaed a jury on Tuesday, who viewed the body

The Prosser TWIN Cylinder car, mentioned last

The Prosser Twin. Cylinder car has made one
or two more trips to Mendoza during the past
week, carrying the same load Of wheat, which
they claim has been improved in quality one full
grade by the $40 miles travel. The claims of su-
periority OF this car over the ordinary grain car
are numerous, among which may be mentioned
the following They are smaller-they are cheap
er-they are lighter-they are more durable
they occupy less space on the rail--they are Of
much easier draft-they can dry wet grain in the
car, and prevent it from souring or heating or
moulding while in transit, besides many other
advantages; and it is conceded by those who
have seen it that 1t must in time come into gen
cral use, entirely superseding the cumbersome
box car for carrying grain
