On Tuesday afternoon as Israel Wanna
man who drives the bread wagon for F. e..
Mount, was loading up for his evening
round, on the sidewalk in front of the
bakery, another man drove team upon
the sidewalk which is very wide just there.
Israels horse took fright at the ratiling of
a bread pan against the tire of his front
wheel, and started to run, jamming the
wagon between the corner of the school
house fence and the other wagon, there not
being room to pass between. The swinsle
tree breaking, the horse freed itself from
the shafts and dragged Mr.. Vannaman
from the wagon over the wheel, his head
Just missing the fence post as he fell lie
managed to get clear of the lines which
were wrapped around his hands, before
being dragged far, and the horse took a
run around town before being captured.
Mr. Vannaman was considerably bruised
but fortunately escaped without serious
injuries but he says he don't want any more
such for $1,000.

Charles H. Smith, of Haddonfield the
popular stock dealer, well known here, had
an amusing adventure a few days since.
Crossing the ferry from Philadelphia to
Camden, he became engaged in discus
sion with friend on the Congressional
candidates and being Hires man, was
advocating the SENATOR Chains when
stranger Ito him) sitting near, took part in
the conversation with disparaging re-
mark concerning Mr. Smiths tavorite.
This was resented by Mr. S. who--as the
story goes-told the intruder plainly that
only his gray hairs saved him from a
smack in the mouth. This was too much
for the stranger who burst out laughing
and Smith discovered that it was Senator
Hires himself he had been paying his re-
CARDS to, and who had engaged in the con
versation by way of joke. This form of
scraping acquaintance is not laid down in
the hand books on etiquette, but i'll this
case it answered the purpose.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The steady and rapid accumulation of
standard silver dollar pieces i'll the Treasury
has compelled the Secretary of the Urea
sury at Washington to make additional
provision for the storage and safe keeping
of these coins Experience has demon
strated that these silver pieces cannot be
forced into circulation Under the act Of
February 2S 1873. about q 300 600 silver
dollars are coined every month, only to be
stored in the vaults of the Treasury Dur
ing certain months of the year, when bust
ness is most active, an amount equal to the
monthly coinage will be driven into circula-
ton, but as soon as settlements are made
by business and commercial men, these
dollars are exchanged for certificates and
are returned to the Treasury Thus the
entire coinage for the year may be said to
find lodgment in the Treasury vaults in
stead of finding circulation among the peo-
pie. The folly of continuing this excessive
coinage of silver dollars has become so APP
parent that many of those who were the
earnest advocates of unlimited silver COIN
age prior to the passage of the act of 1918
now favor suspension of further coinage,
and a bill introduced by Judge Kelley is
pending before the House of Representa-
tives for this purpose. 1t could not be ex-
pected, however, that partizan leaders in
the face of a Presidential election would
permit action to be had on a measure
which would influence the electoral vote
of the silver product ~ States, and there
fore Mr.. Kelley's bill was quietly laid
away until the next session of Congress.
In the meantime the coinage proceeds,
and the Treasurer must provide for its
safety. All available storage room is oe-
cupied or will be before Congress again
convenes, and it therefore becomes an inn
perative necessity to erect additional vaults.
The Treasury now holds, in round mum
bers, 1876, 000 900 silver dollars. While
this money is subject to the order of the
Treasurer of the United States, it is not, as
is believed by many persons, held in the
vaults of the Treasury Department. at Wash
ington. Indeed, very small amount of
this large silver surplus is actually held
here, for the excellent reason that sufficient
accommodation has not heretofore existed
The bulk of the silver is stored at New
York the remainder being distributed
among the larger commercial cities of the
country, only about 5,000,0 900 being ac-
tually held at the Treasury Department
at Washington.

Are You Going:

Two events take place in Philadelphia
next month which will doubtless attract
large numbers of our people. The first is
the International Electrical Exhibition held
under the auspices of the Franklin lnsti-
tute, in large structure erected for the
purpose at Thirty -second and Lancaster
Avenue, adjoining the old Pennsylvania
Railroad passenger depot at Thirty
and Market streets. which building is also
used for the exhibition and connected with
the first named by passage way. The
exposition will embrace all the machinery
and apparatus known to science, operated
by electricity, and includes electric light
ING. the telegraph and telephone systems,
signals. electric motors. The exhibition
opens ON the 2d of September, TUESDAY
next and continues until October 18th.
AT this writing We have not learned partic-
MARS as to price of admission, railroad ex-
cursion rates, etc. but will endeavor to
give full information in 4 later issue.
The other event is the Pennsylvania
State Agricultural Fair which Will open
ON Monday, September sth, at North
Broad street and Lehigh Avenue, and CON
tinue until September Goth. Our people
are probably familiar with the exhibitions
of the Agricultural Society and any de-
scription of this particular one will be
superhuous at this time.

Schoolmates, farewell! for now the time has

Let union sweet and dear esteem dwell richly
in each heart;
Let us resolve, with one accord, before we
bid adieu,
That we will search the word of God and its
precepts follow true,
For this will make us truly wise: with it we

1t is by far the greatest prize by mobiles e'er

The richest honors ever graced the marble

IT'S not the gold in Ophir found, nor the
riches of Peru,
Can give true honor, and renown that's pure
and lasting too.
While we ascend the hill of fame with Vir-

We should reflect upon the coming life we all
are tending to.
We've no abiding city here that can deserve a
passing sigh,
And If on earth we meet no more, o may we

my Teacher kind,
While thus we from each other part, may yet

PIEDMONT, Mo-, April 10th, 1884.
| Ed. Reglster-I notice, in an article coming
| from your Goodland correspondent, very
| broad assertion in regard to sermon preach
| ed on the fourth Sabbath in March, ut Mount
| Pleasant. He states that the text selected
was good one, but the speaker did not
| touch the text, and consequently could not
hold his attention. VIII Mr.. T. c. be so kind
as to tell us how he knew that the speaker
did not touch his text, as he paid no atten-
ton to the sermon? His attention was di-
| rected toward some very handsome young
ladies who were just seated opposite, look
ing very lovely. Mr.. T. c. has given me q
key that unlocks the mysteries connected
with the preaching of the gospel at the pres
ent day. 1t is because they pay no attention
TO the Word preached; it goes in at one ear
and out at the other. Their attention is al
ways upon something else, and unable to tell
you what text of Scripture the preacher used
on the occasion. Now, the apostle is very
plain on this point He says, therefore we
ought to give more earnest heed to the things
which we have heard, lest at any time we
should let them slip" We are not to go
there simply as spectators, or to and be
seen, but to pay strict attention to every
word the preacher says. 1t is not enough
that ysu attend divine service; you may at
tend every Sabbath, and the preacher may
present all the beauties of Heaven, painted
in glowing colors, and with all the eloquence
Of the great apostle of the Gentiles, land, with
out attention upon your pant, you will leave
the house unidentified. He might present
the wonderful love of God to poor, lost sin
ners in such eloquent strains that wandering
angels in their flight might pause and look
with intent interest on the scene. It is at
tention that rivets conviction to the SOUL
Mr. T. G. must be wonderfully wise that
in moment Of time, by looking the preach
err in the face, he conld tell that the sermon
did not touch the text. MARION.
