| IRON the New York World.
The De Sancy claim came about in this
way: 4 new Yorker of fortune, married
to a Boston belle, having had child par
aIyzed through the neglect Of IL bOUuc,
made their home rather unhappy. He
wanted his wife to ISOLATE herself from the
world with him. She was pretty, musi-

Like Son Like Father
From the Worcester (Mass. J Spy.

A young man in Boston recently re
ceived bequest of $4,000. He had beer
poor and the sudden acquisition of wealtl
rather turned his head. He began t
spend the money in reckless dissipation
in spite ofthe efforts ofhls father torestrair
him, and kept on until only $l1 900 wa
left. The father begged that this remain
der might be given him for safe-keeping
and the son, being then i'll from drunken
ness, and very penitent, readily complied
The father put $l0,950 into pocket il
his shirt, and started out to spend th,
other $50 in a frolic. That night h,
slept on bench in barroom, and in tn,
morning every cent OF the money wa
gone.

From the Hartford Post
The Corrugated Metal Company Of East
Berlin on recent payday placed S.
gold piece in the envelope of each employe.
One of the persons thus paid thought to
surprise his wife, dropped the coin within
doorway through which he knew she
would shortly pass. But the family cat
preceded her mistress through the en-
trance, and caught up the bright coin
within her teeth. In tossing it about
playfuIly and biting it, pussy accidentally
swallowed the treasure. Various sugges-
tions have been made TO the owner OF the
cat for the recovery Of the money, but
none seem practicable. The village
butcher offers $3.50 for her. Her owner
says she is not for sale.

Of pork, and with this the shark was

| Special to tho Kansas Clty Jourla.
JEFFEUsoN CRY, ,Fcb.7--A few days ago it was
asserted by your correspondent that article, OF
impeachment against the state treasurer had
been prepared, and that 1t was with difficulty
that the author could be persuaded to hold them
back until the report Of the special committee
to investigate the affairs Of the treasury in its
transactions with the ring of banks could sub
nit its report, Some lau died at this idea, and
said no such resolutions had been prepared, and
none would ever be- introduced
You may well imagine that those gentlemen
were somewhat taken by surprise this morning
when the very first thing. ON the House con-
vening was iOr Mr.. Alanistrc. Of 1t. Louis To
rise and present the following resolution and

By the voice of the people, the acts of

the greenback is cOnstitutiOnally lawful
money. The labor they pay for the goods
they purchase and the debts they discharge
are as well, as satisfactorily and as really
paid, purchased and discharged, as though
gold had been employed instead. Every
lahorer, manufacturer, farmer, producer
and man of trade and business is aS well
satisfied with grcenbacks as they would be
with gold. We have not got the gold to
take their place. Such decision of the
supreme court would precipitatc the most
disastrous financial condition the world
ever saw. The whole business of the
country would be wrecked and ruined.

increasing the currency. That would give
only fictitious prosperity. We would have
to get down to hardpan some time!"

this is what those who take their opinions
secondhand repeat, They assume that

low wages, want of work, poverty and

Is IT not time that the law-making power
ofthis country was doing something to at.
tract the wealth of the country to the mat
tor of producing property, thereby en-
pIoying hundreds ofthousands of men and
women who would gladly work could they
obtain employment. Hundreds of mil
lions of dollars of money, or of wealth are
now locked up by some kind of trick Of
Legislation, drawing support from indus
try to the support of idleness. When the
law shall declare that money or property
that is in idleness shall receive nothing
whatever in the shape of interest or COM
peusation, and every man is able to put
his hand to the plow and to help on in
the works of enterprise shall work Oh
starve, then every man who can work will
find opportunity to invest his life and
strength in that labor, he will secure ia
himself a reward, and those who are vii.
ling to work but cannot for want of health
and strength, can be cared for by those
who, being in health and in prosperity,
can do their duty by their fellow men who
are in distress.
