A recently-published statement of the
yield of precious metals shows that IN
1882 the output of gold in the en- tire
world was valued at Sis, 900 1000, and of
silver at 1914, 900, 900. 1t is a fact not gem
orally understood that Russia is the
third greatest producer of gold, the weld
OF that country being $50, OOO, 900, only
$2l ,400, 900 less than the United States and
$1,000, 900 less than Australia. The Uni
ted States is the greatest silver producer
the yields in 1882 being $40, 95O, 900. Aus
tralia, though second in the production
of gold, contributes scarcely any silver
to the worlds supply, while Mexico, a
great silver-producer, yields but little
gold. The comparative data show that
the United States is the only nation in
which both of the precious metals are
found in great abundance.

Mr.. THOMAS II. HOWARD, a gentleman
well known in the newspaper circles OF this
city died yesterday by his own hand. While
his head was white and his body was bent
and irail, yet it was caused more by disease
and suffering than by age. His life had been
an eyenl'ul one. His early history was
marked by great activity both in the legal pro-
ies5ion and as a writer. His contributions
have been published in all the leading publi
cations Of the country, and Of the great
amount Of literary work he accomplished he
claimed no credit nor asked for no reputation.
There are men high in public life to-day who
owe much Of their success to his brain in
shaping the events of their career. Success
iul in his early life in business, he had made
aud lost three fortunes, and until atil icted by
disease he had no knowledge of the value Of
money. lie was a man strong in his
prejudices and firm in his friendships,
Although raeked and tortured by disease he
frequently informed the writer that he ought
to live 40 years longer, and one can but pity
and forgive the iTesolution that caused him
to desire to plunge into the unknown before
his time. But he was not in love with life,
and, to quote Ingersoll, ale had not passed
on life's highway the stone that marks the
highest point, but, being weary for moment,
he lay down by the waysde, and, using his
burden for pillow, fell into that dreamless
sleep that kisses down his eyelids STILL" His
faith was Spirtualism, and il he finds that
peace and contentment among good and
kindred spirits he will have solved the problem
Of death. Peace to his ashes.
