WE see stated that England last year
shipped 1873, 100000 of silver to India,
the great maelstrom into which the bulk
of the silver of the rest of the world ap-
pears to ultimately drift. There are no
data at hand to enable us to approximate
to the additional amount sent to that
country by Germany, Italy, France and
Austria, but it must have been consider
able. China and Japan are also silver
using nations and our shipments from
the Pacific Coast last year embraced $1O,-
100000 sent directly to China. There was
mined last year in the Pacific coast, in
elusive of Mexico, in the ncighborhood of
S40,0OO,OO0 in this metal, and the alb
,orption by India alone was not much
short Of that figure; so that if the de-
mand from Asia shall go on, and the
production not increase materially, the
danger of silver depreciating in the
markets of the world is remote con-
tingeney that need not greatly unnerve
the advocates of the dollar of the
Daddies."

From Amelia, the present terminus of
the line, it is, we believe, graded on to
Hamersvihe halfway to Georgetown, and
even beyond that point there has been
good deal of work done that ought not
to be abandoned in its present
state. 1t is true that some of
the subscriptions secured at and near
Georgetown have lapsed, but enough re-
main, and more could have been secured,
to largely aid in carrying the work on to
completion, had a rAi determined spirit
characterized the management at the Op-
perfume moment The whole line to
Georgetown passes through pleasant
section of country, and at and about
Georgetown we find district of the most
singularly picturesque scenery in the
State. The White Oak Greek is beau
tiful stream, and the silvery cascades and
rills of crystal water that spring from
the hills that border it are as charmingly
beautiful as any in New England. Brown
County possesses a good many of the
characteristics that are met with in the
Massachusetts hills and streams. Indeed,
some of its tobacco land bordering the
branches are strikingly like those found
in the Connecticut Valley, and the to-
'bacco grown on these bottoms has the
same fine quality that has made the Con-
necticut River leaf famous almost as the
real Havanan, Georgetown is charmingly
situated, and, with easy access by direct
line, could have been made especially
attractive, with its surroundings, for
summer resort, without the fatigue
of a trip to more distant places.
Cincinnati lacks just such retreats for
the summer where our citizens may send
their families during the hot season, and
be able to join them every Sunday. The
line now being worked between George
town and Sardinia can of course nevor be
SO satisfactory as the direct one would
have been il finished as planned over the
Portsmouth line, and it is, as we remarked
above, especially unfortunate that the
road could not be carried forward as con-
tempIated originally to Georgetown where
its ultimate progress to the Ohio River
would have been comparatively easy.
Of its present condition and prospects, in
the hands of Receiver, we have no in
formation, but our regrets are chiefly at
the reflection as to what ought to have
been and of what it seems to us might
have been.

coal to say nothing of the convenience.
This gentleman said the only trouble to be
overcome would be to keep up constant
supply, which would necesstate thesdupli-
cation of boilers at the different stations,
and make the districts very small.

Spanish Women.


I may say that poets have pictured
Seville bellies as "dark-eyed angels"
Like the proverb l quote above, there is
more poetry than truth in this gush-
ing expression. I never yet saw dark
eyed angel portrayed by a painter,
though there may be many Of them
ready to pose for that enviable position;
and I have seen more beautiful women
here with blue rather than black eyes.
A sort of deep violet blue, with black
fringes of lashes, are terribly fascinating
eyes in Seville. You see the same type
in parts Of Ireland, and, by my truth,
"beware, take care, there's danger there"
in those eyes.
In the narrow streets here, where You
can look out the window and shake
hands with your opposite neighbor with
out any undue physical efforts YOU see
such eyes Of unholy hue-deep, dark and
revengeful-that the poet prates about
and calls the "carbon orbs'-fery fel-
lowsl But in the big streets, where you
may jump across the trottoirs and get
into the drawing-room, stables and kitch-
en-, all at one time and in one place,
there are the violet-eyed bellies with "vir-
gin smile and sweetened soul"-what-
ever Byron means by that! Irregular,
loug, complicated, crooked and eel-like
streets here have eyes that the least said
about the better. s..........

pei the panegyrics of any poet who may

they are by no means as pretty or as ex-

ing! How gracefully she handles and

The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-11-13
THE REPEAL OF THE SILVER BILL

Eastern papers are now clamoring for
the repeal of the Silver bill. They be-
lieve that the next House of Represent
atives will be Republican by small
majority, and the Senate tie. This
belief. which is not yet confirmed
fact, leads them to demand the change
from double to single standard. They
claim that after it's great victory the
Republican party can afford to put our
monetary system. on what they are
pleased to term, "a perfectly sound
basis. This means the demonstration
of silver, which the Republicans, as a
party, have been in favor Of. All the
national banks, bondholders, and great
corporations in the country, favor the
single standard, because it will benefit
them at the expense of the debtor and
working classes. The money lenders
want gold for the loans which they
made in greenbacks, when they were
deprecated, and as their will is law to
the Republicans in Congress, the Silver
bill will be repealed as soon as the Re-
rublicans have control of both Houses.
This may not occur in the next Con-
gress, and for the good of the mining
interest of Nevada it is to be hoped
that it will not. The Greenbackers, of
whom two of Democratic proclivities
have been elected in Maine, and three
OF Republican proclivities have been
elected in Missouri, it is thought, will
hold the balance OF power between the
Republicans and Democrats in the
House of Representatives. If such
proves to be the fact the Silver bill
will not be repealed by the next Con-
gross, as the Greenbackers are opposed
to the single standard. The cry of "no
change i'll the revenue and monetary
laws of the country" reiterated by the.
Republican press and echoed by the
stump speakers during the canvass, will
lie forgotten, so far as it relates to sill
yer, the moment the Republicans have
control of Congress. This policy is
clearly ,foreshadowed by the RepubIi-
en- press of the Eastern States, which
low demand it, because there is prob
ability of their party having majority
In both Houses 8s
