The possibility of gold bringing a
slight premium in the future has led to
discussions of the past, and the fact is
stated that the currency price of gold
reached its maximum on July IL, 1864,
when it touched 2S5 on the New York
Stock Exchange-that is, 1886 in cur
rency was paid for 800 of gold coin.

stances which are not likely to exist

The Puritans were right when they
insisted that gentleman should dress
in plain clothes of neutral tint. But
it required years for this idea to make
it's way among tailors and their custom
ers. Even boys, one hundred years
ago, were dressed as guys" The pu-
pills of the Edin burgh High School
were rugged out in q scarlet vest,
bright green jacket, and brown cordury
breeches, tied at the knees by snowy
knot of brown cotton tape. Long wors-
ted stockings were worn in winter and
blue cotton ones in summer.
The shoes, fastened by brass or cop
per buckles, were large and clumsy.
They were not rights and lefts" but
made to be worn on either foot, AMI the
boy was required to wear them on al
tentative feet daily. The vest had two
rows of buttons on either side, which,
when one side got dirty, was convenient.
The shirt was fastened at the neck by
black ribbon, and round black hat
completed the costume.
The dress of the gentlemen and
ladies of that period was even more fam
tastic than the boys clothes. At par
ties the men wore coats and vests OF
gorgeous colors, frills and ruf1es, sill
yer shoe-buckles and side-curls.
Stately matrons appeared in large
hoops and many colored satins. Young
ladies' walked in high heeled shoes or
stood still while their powdered, poma-
TUNED hair, surmounted by lofty head
dress, was admired.
The manners of the day were formal,
for the age was ruled by those social
martinets who viewed more leniently
breach of the ten commandments than
| they did violation of etiquette Yet
it was a coarse age, one which tolerated
swearing and drunkenness among men,
and course manners and language
among the boys.
| Lord Cookburn, an eminent Scotch
Judge, says that SO barbarous were the
boys of the Edinburgh High School
that no lady dared to be seen within its
walls. The masters were as vulgar and
harsh as the boys were brutal. In
stead of alluring their pupils, they drove
them by constant whipping.
| Gentlemen, at a dinner-party, would
keep sober until the ladies had adj
journed to the parlor; and then they
would get drunk. 1t was the fashion
for gentleman to swear. He support
ed every assertion by an oath. If he
found fault, he swore roundly at the
offender, who would not have felt the
censure unless an execration had wing
| ed it.
A Scotch nobleman apologized to a
lady whom he cursed at whist for play
ing the wrong card, by declaring that
: he had mistaken her for his wife.
Masters swore at servants, officers at
soldiers, and scarcely any one thought
the practice odious, much less sinful.
The world has moved since those
days. Our manners are less formal and
more refined. No one now thinks it
gentlemanly to swear. If a guest
should get drunk at dinner party, he
would be sent to Coventry"

The San Francisco Bulletin says;
A few years ago it was enough to say
of any kind of manufactured goods pro-
,duaA in this State that they were
"CaliforniA made" That brand insured
the highest quality. Blankets and all
kinds of wooden goods made at home
had an especial advantage from that
fact. Probably this advantage holds
good to-day. When q new article of
home manufacture was put upon the
market it was great help to the sale
to show that it was actually made in
California. It would follow as mat
ter of course, that it was the very best.
But the Bulletin alleges that this high
opinion of California products is not SO
generally entertained now as formely,
owing to inferior articles having been
put upon the market. This is espec-
tally true in regard to canned fruits,
canned salmon, etc. Many Of these
goods have been unsatisfactory to buy
ers and consumers. In the matter Of
canned fruits, the lowering of the
standard, even by few Gamers, has
been very damaging business. It has
lessened the demand for canned fruits
where the demand ought to be rapidly
increasing. Fruit growers are already
much concerned at the apparent limit
put upon the market. OF course,
one of the methods Of relief is to
dry the fruit. It is said that there can
be no limit to the demand for dried
fruit. But here again the same law Of
demand prevails. It is always for the
best. A very large demand abroad has
been created for canned salmon. The
demand finally began to decrease rap
idly. The inquiry disclosed the fact
that many brands could not be depend
ed upon. They actually stood for goods
which had little or no commercial value
when exported. Careless packing, poor
Ssh, and an apparent indifference about
maintaining high standard a. to quail
ity, had wrought the evil. The Bulletin
claims that Califoania still has the
best fruits and the. best salmon.

Serious Riot ut What Cheer Coal Mine
Iowa.
Des Moines, Iowa, Special: A telegram from
the sheriff of Keokuk county was received at
the executive Office Wednesday morning, ask
ing for military aid to assist in suppressing
serious riot reported to be in progress at the
What Cheer coal mines. The points regarding
the origin Of the trouble are meagre, but from
information at hand it is learned that recent
strike Of the miners at these mines led to the
usual remedy applied to such exigencies, viz,
the importation of colored miners. The indig-
nant Caucasians attempted to stay the influx Of
the sable hired brethren by the persuasive in
fuence of shot-guns and clubs. This led to
open hostilities, and in the rough and tumble
fight that followed the negroes were compelled
to seek safety in fight Several of them were
seriously injured, The sheriff was summoned,
but on learning the magnitude of the task be-
fore him, telegraphed the governor for troops
to maintain order. The governor Immediately
ordered Company G, of Muscatine to repair to
the scene Of the riot and restore peace.

Beautiful But Dirty.

The Indian of Cooper's novels no
longer exists, if he ever did live. The
red man of the forest has his good
traits, no doubt, aud some of his bad
ones are either copied from his white
brother, or have been developed by two
centuries of unjust treatment. But he
is not q romantic being. Nor is his
squaw. Nor is his pappoose. Nor is
the Indian maiden, pappoose no long
er, but not yet sluaw. The United
Service describes one of these latter,
and one feels as though her photograph
would be more acceptable than her
bodily presence.
She was not too tall, and was finely
formed, though want of food had mar
red the once rounded contour of her
young and shapely limbs. Her hair
was long and of rich purplish- black.
Her eyes were large, lustrous, full of
natures fire and brightness.
Her eyebrows were dark as her hair,
and perfectly arched. Her lips were
full and of vivid red.
Her teeth, like those of most Indians,
were beautifully regular and brilliantly
white, though tooth brush had never
touched them. They seemed. however,
like all Indian teeth, to have been made
to eat raw flesh. I cannot better de-
scribe the appearance of Indian teeth.
Her cheeks and forehead were
touched with the vermilion dye the
squaws use for the purpoee of personal
adornment; for they too, like too many
of their white sisters. endeavor to i'm
prove upon nature. Her matted hair
fell in long elf-locks and inextricable
tangles; it knew nothing of comb.
She looked like q savage edition of a
head have seen among Julian's crayon
studies.
Her dusky arms were bare. A few
brass rings ornamented her wrists.
Her dress was composed of two rectan-
gular pieces of dark and coarse wool
en- stuff, bordered with red, the latter is
q favorite color of Indians. These pieces
were joined at one end, place being
left open for the head to pass through.
A piece of buckskin bound them around
her waist.

should have hesitated to lend her

to don it again after she had worn it, I
should cause it to do duty for some days

Mexican scouts, guides, etc.. removes
the unpleasant consequences of Indian
wear.
The perfume of the wild red rose was
not remarkably agreeable.
Judged from dancing school point of
view, her step was not graceful. Like
all Indians and other untutored chill
dren of nature, she turned out her heels
and turned in her toes.

There are frequent references in the
papers to the "Black Hawk War;" and
many will be glad to know what it was.
During President Jackson's first ad-
mnistration, the Sac and Fox Indians
of Illinois, under their leader, Black
Hawk, gave the government so much
trouble as to cause war. Their lands
had been bought by the United States
quarter of a century before, but the
Indians still continued to live on them,
and when the mark of civilization
brought settlers 10 their borders they
refused to withdraw and held out so
successfully against the troops of the
government of Illinois that at last Cen
eral Scott was sent against them with
nine companies of artillery. His troops
being overtaken by cholera in Chicago,
he could not reach the scene of action,
but General Atkinson, in several de-
cisive battles, the last of which occurred
August 2, 1882, defeated the Indians
and took Black Hawk captive. After
spending some years in the East, the
Indian chief saw the futility Of resist
ance to 90 powerful nation, and was
allowed to retire to Iowa, where he died
IN 1883.
