Thia is the kind Of stories they tell
cut west: --"Grizzly Dan," the hero Of
Montana led a wonderful life He was
once set upon by whole tribe OF ladi-
ans and obliged to run for his lite. He
headed fera cliff 700 feet high, dodglng
the bullets fired at him as he ran, being
able, through long practice, to tell the
course Of ball by the sound as it ap-
preached frem The rear. He unhesitat-
inely Ieaped over tl,A--':'ai ---.'=s=S'--'
ment of the Indians. As he was falling
Dan turned, raised his Winchester rifle
to his shoulder and pulled the trigger.
An Indian iell over with ball through
his left eye. and while he kept falling
Dan kept pulling the trigger until sew
snteen redskins had balls through their
lett eyes, and were falling ever the cliff
after him. The eighteenth shot enly
carried away an Indians nose, as the
air was so full OF falling Indians between
Dan and the top OF the cliff that his aim
was little confused He struck ieet
foremost IN the river below, and swan
to the opposite shore before the last In
dams dead body struck the water.

But twice in two years has the eastern

Elliot's minstrels-whs claim to be
''the best troupe traveling''-wers here
several days ago,and were to have given
enc of their "highly moral performan-
ces" on the seventh instant. Somehow,
Odsssians were not drawn out in large
numbers on this occasion. and the min
strels, in order to parade their talents
before larger audisncs, postponed their
entertainment until the following eve-
aing. 1t arrived, but brought with It
no more desire, if as much, on the part
of our people, to witness tho sccentrici-
ties et the troupe, or hear its excellent
banjo solos. Their exchequsr was lew.
and, like all prudent landlords. Mr.. w.
K McChesney, OF the Odessa House,
with whom the troupe were quartsred,
seized their baggage in lieu Of the
"wherewith." which had not been forth
coming to reimburse him for keeping
them. They "skipped." as the saying
gees. leaving their baggage behind, as
pay for their hill-s12-and though it
was not very much pay, it was better
thaa nsthlng. Imagine the chagrin.
however, OF mine host whom. few days
ago, he went to take another lsok at the
baggage, to find it non est, gene. aisap-
peared. BY some means an entrance
had been effected the night before. and
every article which had accompanied
the great troupe of artists in their vicis-
situdes Of minstrel life, had been taken
away, and with it disappeared these or
the troupe who had loItsred arsund for
day after the seizure of their goods.
The Herald of last week says 1t was tho
Great Western dramatic conpany. This
is an error, but an unintsntional one, /

Amazing. beauteous change
A world created newt
My thoughts with transport range,
The lovely scene to view;
In all trace,
Saviour divine,
The work is thine
Be thine the praise
See crystal fountains play
Amidst the burning sands;
The rivers winding way
Shines through the thirsty lands:
New grass is seen.
And o er the meads
Its carpet spreads
Ofliving green.
Where pointed bIambls grew,
lntwined with horrid thorn,
Gay flowers, forever new,
The painted fields adorn,-
The blushing rose
And lily there,
In unison fair
Their sweets disclose.
Where the bleak mountain stood
All bare and disarraysd,
See the wide-braEching wood
DifiIse its grateful shade;
Tall cedars nod,
And oaks and pines,
And elms and vines
Confess the God.
The tyrants of the plain
Their savage chase give o'er,---
No more they rend the slain,
And thirst for blood no more;
But infant hands
Fierce tigers stroke,
And lions yoke
In flowery bands.
o. when, Almighty Lord
Shall these glad scenes arise,
To verify their word.
And bless our wondering syese
AThat earth may rise,
With ali Its tongues,
United songs
or ardent praise.

national debt. For these reasons we
desire to see the funding bill so shaped
as to look tc the earliest practicable
payment of tie bends.
AS to the greeubacks. They are a
misfortune as they now stand. They
are a promise to pay, and to keep them
at par require, an immense sum of
idle money in tie treasury, which might
be paid on the debt 1t must always be
so, too,a long as they exist. They are
not the treasury note contemplated by
Jefferson, and sued in various amounts
in 1887. '35. 40, Al, '42. AS, '46, Al
and 81 these notes Dere not legal
tender between individuals, but they
were "receivable i'll payment of ali
debts due the United States including
customs duties" And herein lies the
fundamental difference between the
democratic party and its opponents. 1t
never has believed in the legal tender
quality OF paper money between indl-
viduais, but has advocated a treasury
note receivable for all dues to the gov
ernment. Tho republicans put forth, ,ac-
oording to Mr.: Garfield 1.-THE green
back currency" which twas. and is 50
know in the courts, and so known
everywhere, forced loan--a forced
loan by the government upon its army
and upon ether creditors =
and the primary fact connected with
every greenback is that it is a promise
to pay" They then made this forced
loan payable nolens uoteas to the peo-
pie, but refused to take it tor debts to
the government. The reverse OF this
action would be both constitutional and
democratic.
So that If steps should ebe taken to
substitute for geenbacks treasury
note receivable for all dues to the gov
ernment, fully as greata volume as is
now out might be kept at1oat at par
without the present reserve. They
would have an elasticity which the pres
notes have not, and might aid US To the
extent of half their volume, In the i'm
mediate liquidation OF that much Of the
national debt. Unless this is done. the
time has not yet arrlvad to make good
the promise OF the government borne
upon the face of the lotes. Discussion
OF the subject need not give even a
grsenbacker the rabes-it will have to
be talked about sooner or later. With
over thirteen hundred million dollars OF
circulation in the country, which is
constantly being aided to by large ac-
cessIons OF gold from abroad we are
progressing toward position where we
can afford to talk OF 6 permanent finan-
clal policy. ..-..

OONUNDRUMs IN POLITICAL EOOM-
OMY,

Te the Editor OF The World: Sir;
When l was in Manchester last Sep.
tember | bought what are there called
Chart;.tane blankets, made of specially
prepared paper which was perforated
and lined with layer OF cotton wool.
One, 5 feet by 3, was 81 cents in cur
money; another, feet square, was 60
cents. and one, by 7 feet, was So cents.
One was cream color, another in blue
and the third in scarlet. Some of nv
friends wishing to send cut and got
some, made Inquiries and discovered
that because wool partly entered into
the making OF them the duty would be
at 20 cents per pound, considerably
over the first cost. They are not made
IN this country. Now. wish as
Thanksgiving cenundrum to ask, why
this duty, since it dses not especially
protect anybody? Why should not a
poor man be able TO purchase one oil
these Manchester bed covers, freight
and all included, for say 81, when no
one is especially protected here! Why
cannot there be added to tho tariff law
this provision: No duty shall in any
case exceed the first cost oi an imported
article? That would be poor man s
| and not Garfield, tariff Wouldn't it /?
