School Books to 20 Around.

The number of higher arithmeties re.
quired in the public schools of the Uni.

lower, $3.50. 900; algebras. 500. 600; as
tronomies. 10000; bookkeeping. $780,
600; copybooks, $4,000. o00i compost

natural philosophers, 500, 600; readers,

to the users is estimated 1T $1,000, 900.
As most persons are aware, the change
of text books goes on continually, else
publishers would have no business. As
soon as the pupil is fairly grounded IN
one arithmetic, someone discovers that
the pupils will 60 astray if the book is
longer in use, and new book is intro
duced. This takes its turn to go out as
soon as another has been invented 70

The Silver Certificate Mystery.

In thirteen months the gross issue of
silver certificates has increased $751;
600, 900, or almost 81. 900. 600 a month;
the net issue, $45, 900, 900; the holding
of silver dollars, SIS, 500. 900. In order
to see just what this implies. let US an
alyze the charges during the last
month. The gross issue increased Sc
100000, the net issue practically the
same. and the amount of silver dollars
on hand has increased $50, 900. Now.
If the law has been literally complied
with, nearly all the silver-dollar coin
age of the month has gone into crcu-
lation-say, 50. 1000, 900, less $3.50, 600.
Sc, 500, 600 in silver dollars has been de-
posted in the Treasury by holders;
and, the certificates having been taken
away by these dcpositors, the silver
dollars themselves have been paid out.
1t follows that the payments from the
Treasury during the month of Septem-
Der have included eight and three-quar-
ter millions of silver dollars, OF two mil
lions week. Such o statement as
that is preposterously untrue. The
whole disbursements of the Government
during tile month were only S13, 300,-
600, excepting for the public debt, on
which no silver dollars were ever paid;
and we are forced to believe either that
two-thirds of all the payments by the
Treasury last month were made by the
actual transfer of silver dollars, in all
their bulk and weight, or that this issue
is accomplished cons ructively-that
silver dollars are not actually deposited
as the law provided and niended-BoS-

Testing Ills Affections,

A mean trick as-played on an Aus
tin darkev, Mr.. James Crow, not long
since. He had been paying attention
to one of Uncle Nace's daughters, ii
being generally understood that she
was TO get, on her marriage, n house
and lot, which uncle Mace has reserved.
Uncle Mace is Il sly old coon, and deter
mined to test the genuineness of his
future son-in-law's affections, SO the
other night, as they We're smoking their
pipes, he said:
..Mr. Crow, I has been cogitatin'
ober matters and things, and I has come
to de 'clusion not to donate Matildy dat
ar house an lot on Austin Avenue, for
de reason"
Mr.. Grow sprang to his feet in :; fine
rage. He pulled down his vest. and
singing his stovep1pe hat on the side OF
his head, said:
''Ia dat case, sab, our future rela-
tions done ceases to exist, from dis mo-
ment sab. -
"But let me talk, Mr.. Grow. 1 was
going ter say"
30, go hire a hall, and invite yer
friends to attendr' exclaimed Grow, in
solently.
..AiI right, MIR. Crow. Our future
relations has done cease ter exist; but
only wanted ter let yer know dat de
reason objects ter MatiIdy habin, dat
house on her weddin' day is because
it am too small, SO / am gwine tel
glib her dat two-story cottage on Pecan
Street, which am wuff twice as much. .
Jim tried to explain his position on
the University question, 50 to speak, but
Uncle Mace solennly lifted up boot
the size of ham, and pointed to the
gate.so James took the hint, and refused
to linger. - Texas Stifftsags.

A Sad Case.

The Free Press has received a poem
from n young girl who is evidently
cropping through one of the blacklist
clouds of Opaque grief that ever rolled
athwart the horizon of youthful love.
The sheet upon which the poem is
written is covered with discolored spots
that experts in the Office declare to be
traces of grief-laden tears, but they
may be simply drops of juice which
few out from IN apple she was MUNICH
ing as she wrote. The poem opens:
The tale of woe fain would tell
Would crush all hearts with sorrow,
And call to mind the pangs of-wel,
Eternity s tomorrow
The skill displayed by the presume
bly, fair writer III getting around the
pronunciation of a real bad word will
commend itself to every despiser of pro-
family in the land. The poem contains
about sixteen verses, which are, with
one or two exceptions, in fair state, OF
preservation. The heart-piercing streak
of gilded grief runs through each verse,
and gives evidence that the writer had
it pretty bad. She may have been
little bilious when the sad lines oozed
from her pen, and yet it is seldom that
an attack of the most acute biliousness
will cause such morbid grief. As the
reading of the lines progresses, how
ever, the cause of her terrible tussle
with sorrow becomes apparent, and in
the last stanza the whole truth stands
ont like bay-wineow. 1t runs in this
limpid shape:
No more will see John Mccoy,
He's left his loving Harriet:
He's wrecked my every earthly joy,
He's false as j. IscariOt.
Hes left me for another, who,
Her wfles exerted o er him.
And who ere long will shake him, too
An, cruel fate before him!
The poem has been carefully placed
on ice and will be forwarded to the
next worlds fair for exhibition.

A. Drunken Goat.

There are sorrow AMI anxiety among
the drivers at the ambulance stables of
the Chambers Street Hospital in Duane
street. Billy the white beer drink
ing goat. is missing. aud no tidings of
his whereabouts can be learned. The
last seen of Billy was on Sunday
morning. At the time Driver John
Pilger, the owner of "Billy," was pre-
pairing to make visit up the river. He
had just finished his toilet, and was
about to leave the stables, when he OBJ
served his favoritc goat coming across
the street in slow, unsteady, stagger
ing gait Drunk again. exclaimed
Pilger, on witnessing the debased con-
dition of Billy" who had been sip
ping the dregs from i;he tops of num-
Der of kegs in front Of a beer saloon
opposite. Pi1ger opened the iron gate
that runs across tho front of the en-
trance to the stables, and giving Bill
Iy'' gentle stroke, told him to go in.
The goat braced himself up for mo-
menr and then made one rush into his
place back of one of the horses's sta
bles. After Pilger left that day it ap-
pears Billy slept awhile. Then get
ting up he made his way from tho sta
bles, and was last beheld aimlessly
wandering across Broadway into the
Fourth ward. When Mr.. Pilger came
home one of the boys was sent out to
hunt the goat up. The lad came back
soon and reported his search as fruit
less. Mr.. Pilger the next day commu-
nicated his loss to the captain of police
of the Fourth precinct. A detective
was detailed 10 scour the whole viein-
itv. Up to late last night. however,
Billy had not been found. Billy
is described as being about three feet
high, completely white. with horns short
anu slightly crooked. Around his neck
is q collar of celluloid, pendant to
which is n miniature beer keg colored
in blue.-S4aaday. Mercury.
