The shipment Of small quantity OF
gold to Liverpool to meet the CONNER
cial balance against our country has
created a little furry in monetary
circles, and afforded the opponents of
the coinage Of silver an opportunity to
predict monetary panic, If the pres
ent laws in regard to the matter are
not speedily changed. 1t is certainly
unwise in our government to continue
to purchase and coin silver dollars 30
greatly in excess of the demands OF the
people, but we do not believe that the
evils likely to follow will be as great as
predicted. 1t is unfortunate that the
silver dollar does not contain a sufficient
quantity of metal to render it equal in
value to our gold coin, as in that case
no objection could be urged against Its
use, except that of its weight or bulk.
Any act demonetizing silver would be
most unwise. The men who favored
that course few years ago, may well
hide their heads in shame. The evils
they foretold have not come to pass, but
in their stead many advantages have
been experienced
The silver OF our country constitutes
large portion OF its wealth. anu .ht
people can only derive advantages iroii
it by it's use. They are not prepared tt
lock up so much treasure merely u
oblige dealers IN gold on this Ut any
other continent. The iessehihg OF th'
circulating medium Will increase INT
purchasing power OF gold' ana lesser
the money value OF all species OF prop

The death of William Lang, whose re-
mains were inferred in the Wilmington
& Brandywine cemetery to-day IL not
only loss to his family, but to our
city. There are few who will be more
missed, when the dread summons comes,
inthe circle in which they move. His
father dying while he was but young
man, he united with his mother and
succeeded in building up quite a large
business, and rendering their hohse
the leading one of the kind in our city.
From very small beginning, through
enterprise and attention, the business
was rendered profitable.
New machines and appliances were
introduced, and every facility to supply
the demand for Lang's crackers were
applied. Had not his health failed q
new building would have been erected
in addition to the present one at Fifth
and French streets, and other steps TAX
en- to increase their already lucrative
trade. Although seconded in his effort
by his two brothers he was the leading
spirit, and was looked to for counsel and
guidance.
Through the advice Of physician he
went to New Mexico last fall, and his
dying away from home is a source Of
great regret. Stricken down in the very
prime of life, his decease is the more
severely felt, particularly by his wife
and four little ones left to her care.
Luckily, he succeeded in providing a
competence for them, and they are thus
blessed above many, who have the mis-
fortune to he deprived in early life OF
their paternal protectors His decease
creates vacuum that cannot easily be
| filed. His example is worthy ofimita-
ton, and we must add our mede OF
commentator.

Arthur and His VOCATION.

President Arthur appears to be having
q very pleasant time visiting friends in
New York State. He IS much happier,
perhaps, than if he were the Presidential
candidate of his party, and the question
whether or not he was born in this coun-
try was being discussed. All things con-
sidered. however, it might have been bet
ter for the Republican party if ii mad
nominated him. The Republican papers
now and then contain paragraphs that
are very complimentary to Mr.. Ar
thur. Some of them hint that it
would have been a wise thing TO nave
nominated him. The fact is, Blaine's
record takes all the party enthusiasm out
of decent Republicans. That record is
written by Blaine himself over his own
signature, and there is, therefore, no de-
nying 1t. 1t goes against the grain for
honest men to support a man for the first
office in the gift of the people who, when
holding the third office Of import
ance, proved recreant to his trust.
1t is not to be wondered
at that, under the circumstances,
Republicans who have respect for honesty
and honest methods should sigh for Mr..
Arthur The President may not be a
great man, but he has shown himself
equal to the duties of his Office, and he has
kept his administration free from scan
dals. He doesn't, however, exactly suit
the men who are now managing the Re-
publican party. They are willing to in
dOrse his administration, but if he had
been nominated they wouldn't have gotten
along with him as well as they do with
Blaine. 1t is probable that the campaign
would have been conducted in an entirely
different manner.

How a snakes Bite was Cured.



The death of Snowman Reilly from
rattlesnake's bite has excited cOnsidera-
BILE comment here. Old farmers say that
he would not have died had he been bitten
in this locality, where snake bites are of
common occurrence and do not result IA
tally one case i'll a thousand. Samuel
Mooney went SEEMING a short time ago in
the Chattanooga river, small stream in
North Georgia. He cOrnered q fine bass
and drove it into a hole in the bank.
Drawing the seine close up to it he ran
his arm into the hole to drive the fish out,
when large cottOnmouth moccasin; the
worst snake there is in this part of the
countrV-WOrse than the RATHER
struck him on the wrist. He fell over in
the water and would have drowned but
for some men blowing near by. They got
him out and gave him, they say, quart
of whisky. 1t had no effect on him what
ever. He chewed and swallowed three
plugs of strong tobacco before he began to
feel sick. What is known here as snake
weed, an old Indian remedy, was made
into tea and given him to drink, and a
poultce of it was put on the wound,
which was found to be in one of the veins
at the wrist.
For two weeks MONEYS life was de-
SPARED of. Doctors came from all quar-
tiers to see him, but none could do any
thing for him. The farmer continued to
feed him on snake-weed tea and apply the
poultice. He got well, and is now as
hearty as ever. For weeks after he began
to limp around his body from head to foot
was as blue as indigo, but it gradually
faded away and his natural color return
ed. He says that at the instant he was
struck his heart gave great bound, and
felt as if it had burst into a thousand
pieces. His narrow escape is attributed
to the fact that the poison entered the
vein and Immediately affected his heart.
Had it been only in the flesh he would
easily have cot over it.
