Is answer 10 a remark Of the GAZETTE 5, that 1t
would have been satisfactory to have had letters,
similar 10 that published by Mr.. Davies in the
Tunes printed in the German papers, 4 number Of
communications have been received containing
clippings Of German papers by which Il is clearly
shown that such action has been taken. II appears
that very yigulent attacks against our labor sys-
TEN had been brushed up III several of the German
papers, based upon the abominable charges Of the
Chropicir. These had been promptly met by
letter from tine pen Of gentleman vino was prlCti-
cally and thoroughly acquainted with the whole
labor system Of the Islands. The letter was
reproduced in all the German papers that had
given circulation % the Chronicle calumnies and
further copies Of the c0unter-statement were for
warded for translation 70 Madeira and the Azores.
The Ws-sI Zftug, the paper IN which the couu-
reinstatement appeared, has large circulation IN
Norway SO that the antedote will be read in that
country as we'll and Will no doubt be translated
into tue yernacular OF the country. After hearing
this, We must agree that our German friends have
not been remiss in their duties and that they
have given the widest circulation possible % their
refntation Of the calumuies published against us.

DAVY CROCHET.

In the Texas House of Representatives,
yesterday, the following presentation was made:
Mr. Taylor said:
"Mr. Speaker-In the county of Hood re-
sides Robert p Crockett the youngest and
only living son of Davy Crockett. A daughter
also resides there, and daughter and wife are
buried there.
Colonel Robert P. Crockett is one of our
ces. He desires, sir, to present to the state of
Texas the portrait of his father, now hanging
behind the speaker. This painting was made
in Washington during Davy CroCketts last
term in the United States congress, in 1888.
This painting was regarded by Davy Crock
EFT himself, and is SO regarded by his children,
as the best image of him ever takel, and ii is
the only one now in existence.
Colonel Robert P. Crockett would not part
with this for any pecuniary consideration, but
feels that it ought to be the property Of the
state.
Then, Mr.. Speaker, l have the honor to
present, through this body to the state OF
Texas, painting rejecting the image of Davy
Crockett. lie needs no eul"gy, sir; but when
barbarian cunning and rapaCty struck him
down, it struck from the altar of heroism its
greatest hero And from that dismantled altar
there arises an incense which has immortal
lied valor and put into it soul as fadeless as
the stars.
When he fell there lay at the feet of tyran-
ny immortal youth by the side of immortal
glory.
Hutchinson offered the following:
Resolved, That the thanks Of this body, in
behalf of the state of Texas are hereby extend
ed to Robert P. Crockett for his valued gift,
and for his gift and for his generous self-sac-
rifce in adding to the states treasury the pic
ture of his illustnous ancestor, David Cr0Cket
That copy of this resolution be forwarded

THE OLD CONUNDKTM.

1t is plain that there is TO be no end to the
perplexities ofgovernment in lis difficult task of
reconcling gold and silver as money with the
rules of congressional law in place Of the laws
Of trade. We are not touching this as polit
cal question blu, are not disposed, if it were
necessary to cover up facts important to the
financial interests of the country for The sake
of party interests. 1t is very well known that
this government has been struggling since its
very beginning with this difficulty with the
view to constituting compound money stand
ard. Various efforts successfully failed in
congress, and at last an international congress
was originated by Secretary Of state Everts,
and convened for that object at Paris. That,
too, was falure-one by one OF the powers
seeding and saying nothing much as a big
boy would get out of a presence in which he
had been sen; on a FOOLS GRAND. Now we
have the Committee on Banking and Cumen-
cy graphing the same difficulty in the interest
of the silver dollar The proposition is to
suspend the silver coinage because the silver
dollar is a failure. 1t does not command cir
CulatiOn. The report shows that ''the passage
of the coinage act of 1873 has failed to do
what It's supporters expected OF it, namely : to
increase the price Of silver and to bridge the
gap between it and gold. On the contrary
the bullion value of silver dollars has fallen
As cents since the act became a law"
The report goes on to aver that
! "The causes that have led to the decline Of the
price Of silver, whether they lie the improved means
OF mining or the AZ tons of foreign governments. are
beyond the power OF Our legislation to check that
nothing but an International agreement between the
. leading commercial nations can make governmental
aeon amount to anythi g, and that such agree
mrnt evidently not be reached as indicated
! by tie failure Of the Paris conference "
The nothing but an international agree
ment' is significant. The nations Of Europe
have had wit enough to see that thousand
international congresses engaged on interna-
tional agreements are not going to suspend
the laws Of nature, or legi slate down the "bul-
lion value Of silver" or silver, in any shape as
Commodity in the traffic Of the world. Why
is our government the only one unable 10 COM
prehend this plain matter, with a century OF
perpetual experiment in its history, which no
other government, or nation, has had: Gold
and silver with other governments are neces-
sites, but if the credit Of this government, all
over the world, is as good as silver or gold
which it is, and better than silver or gold
what does it want Of silver or gold for money :
We regard this as great financial question,
which it is about time was solved by the gov,
eminent, independently of party, and in the
interest OF the American people-and, indeed,
OF the people OF all nations who would be
grateful Tor an American government paper

A Nocturnal Ramble and what Came OF 1t.

Some genius-we suspect him to belong to
the jovial order OF humanity-has said:
1.-THE day to drone and dream, the night to
learn and ramble." We do not propose to
dispute this worthy's view Of the matter, but
present herewith the experience Of a Phila-
delphia journalist, Mr.. William H. Cum
nington, 1712 North Twentieth street, one
of whose nocturnal rambles he thus refers to,
beginning his narration rather peculiarly,
however: " am not a rheumatic, and have
been troubled very little with bodily pains.
Last Tuesday morning experienced a very
annoying stiffness of the neck, which grew
worse as the daywore on. Toward evening
it became very severe, and / could scarcely
turn my head in any direction. Arriving
home at tea time it was with difficulty that
/ could eat my meal. My wife wanted to
rub my neck with St. Jacobs Oil, but I re-
fused, saying I thought the afliction would
soon pass away. Tea over, against the
remonstrances OF my family, I left home to
ramble toward the new Chestnut Street
Opera House, about two and a half miles
from my residence. I started in the midst
OF a heavy snow storm, and remained at the
theater until the close OF the performance,
although I could feel my neck getting worse
and becoming very painful. Leaving the
play the trouble came TO reach home. The
storm continued; the car in which I was
became blocked in nearly every square, a
cold current of air swept through the car.
and I did not reach my home until toward
2 A. NJ, by which time my neck had become
absolutely rigid Then / consented to the
use of 81. Jacobs oil, which my wife ap.
piled. two or three times before 1 arose. I
continued its use that day and by evening
l was free from pain, and the next morning
l amused myself by twisting my neck in any
direction that suited me, and not a vestige
OF stiffness remained."-Boston Herald.

Straw for Fuel.

"The Americans burn money, we
burn straw" says the Mennonite settler.
How they keep warm in winter and
cook the year round with no other fuel
than loose straw, is a mystery to the
average American. The, Mennonite
emigrant, when choosing alocality, is
quite unconcern d ct the total absence
Of timber, and will settle many miles
from wood or coal with Indifference as
to the fuel question, in localities where
an American would never think of MAX
ing q farm. He sees fuel for the first
year in the miles of grass about him;
the second and succeeding years he will
have the straw from his crops, and straw.
stacks are his favorite substitutes for the
wood-pile and the coal-bin. We first
saw straw IN use for fnel at the house of
a Russian Mennonite bishop in the col
ony of Mcpherson county, Kansas. Din
ner for fonr Of us was to lie prepared.
A vigorous young Mennonite girl van
ished with a bushel basket, and re-
turned with it full of loose straw, then
placing her kettles, ETC., on the top OF
the cook range, opened the fire-door,
and thrust in two large hardfuls of
straw, touched the match, closed the
door, and the kettle commenced sing
ing almost Immediately ; in about two
minutes the door was again opened, and
two more handfuls of straw. were thrust
in and the door closed. Our dinner
consisted Of ham, eggs, potatoes, Rus.
sian wafles and excellent coffee, all
! cooked in less time than an ordinary
stove could have besn male shot fol
biscuits" The fire was "dead out
before the dinner was half consumed,
and the house none the warmer for the
fire, the surplus heat all escaping
