A young lady ct Athens, Ca, some
time since retired to bed without blowing
out the, lamp, when her eye caught sight
OF mans profile on the wall, hideons
and menacing. Greatly alarmed, she
sprang from her bed and rushed ipto the
sitting room, telling the faulty that q
man was concealed in her room. The
males of the family, armed with clubs
proceeded to the room. The image was
still there. A search under the bed and
throughout the house, however, revealed
nothing. The mystery was unsolved,
though IL was noticed that the terrible
apparition was seen only when the lamp
was on the table. No one in the house
slept much that night. At intervals for
months the face would appear on the
WALL nobody would occupy the room
and it was given up as haunted. A few
nights ago q lady expressed q desire to
sleep in the room and unravel the mys-
teryif she could. She retired to bed
leaving the light nblaze and the human
head clearly defined upon the wall. She
decided that the reflection was cast by
some object in the room, and scrutinized
everything that came to view. She was
about giving up IL despair when her
vision rested on the fireplace, where a
cheerful wood blaze was burning. The
fuel was Upheld by pair of old-fash-
Toned andirons, their tops ornamented
with the figure Of mans head, the exact
counterpart Of the shadow on the wall.
The mystery was solved. Doubtless many

stantia1 foundation

Proposed Silver Convention at Los
Angeles.
From the s. F. Bulletin


We have received letter from COM
mittee of the Board of Trade of Los An
geles informing us that it is the intention
to hold convention at an early day in
Iiciting our views on the general topic. It
is quite certain that no more important
problem can be made the subject of pub
lie discussion in California. If the coin
age of standard dollars should cease, sill
yer would most likely fall to a dollar an
ounce or less. Silver is now ruling at
lower price than has prevailed for some
wears. If the metal should still further
be depressed by the cessation of coinage
the effect would be disastrous in the
whole tier of silver States and Territories.
But the financial consequences would be
more general and alarming. If the coin
age of the standard dollar, which alone
of the silver coinage is legal tender for
all amounts, should be suspended or
stopped, the single standard of gold
could easily in time be substituted FOR the
double standard, which is now the law.
The object held in view is no doubt to
pave the way for such scheme. The
subsidiary silver, that is to say, the
halves, quarters and dimes, are only
legal tender for SO.
The result of the elimination of the
standard dollar would be contraction on
q very large scale. There was in the
country, according to the estimates of the
Director of the Mint on July /, 1884,
1851, $50, 442 in gold coin distributed as
follows: Treasury, $160, 336 1856; Ma
tional Banks, $61,O45, 1888; other banks,
s7I,O45, 63S, other banks and general cir
culation, 1920, 24g,71S. The total sum
amounts to about one-fifth of all the gold
in circulation In the world. II the single
standard of gold should lie set up all
debts. public and private, would ulti-
matelv have to be liquidated out of that
S551, 532, $50. All the paper money that
is afioat is based on that gold. paper
note only circulates because it is an order
for so much specie. The arrangement
would make gold very scarce and dear.
/ It would have to discharge, not only its
own proper function, but in time that of
the S175, 800, S25 silver dollars coined at
the date above given, for much of the lat
ter would gradually disappear. This
would produce a contraction moro severe
than any we have yet gone through. Con-
traction is a convertible term for depre-
citation of prices, strikes and industrial

The SIT. louis College Band.

The above musical organization has now
been year in existence, and during that
time the members have attained to a very
creditabie degree of efficiency. To Mr.. G.
Michiels belongs the credit of having train
ed the members of the band, which was or
ganized by Father Sylvester, at the request
of His Lordship the Bishop of Olba. The
worthy Father has found time while at
tending to the duties of the College of which
he is the head, to keep the members of the
band (who are all pupils in the College) up
to the work of practicing with the musical
instruments. Mr.. Michiels has been I'M
firing in instructing the pupils, and the re-
suit is that the College band is quite prof.
cient in the art of discoursing sweet music.
The band formed from the scholars at the
Industri school, under the training of
Prof. Berger, are also we'll drilled, and both
are credit to the City of Honolulu, and to
the musical tastes # the Hawaiians.
Last Monday evening the Bishop of Olba
was entertained at the College by concert
given by the st. Louis band, and expressed
himself much pleased and gratifed at the
taste and skill displayed by the performers.

CGranada Cor. Gin Enquirer.
Wine is abundant in Spain, but in my
experience it Is all fiery and crude, com.
pared with the wines of France. Wine
free stands on every table In great decant'
erS at every plate. Should you empty q
whole decanter, the waiter will refill it
without even shrug. And wine by the
quart or pint you pick up for song at
every railroad restaurant, along with the
sandwich and cheese The Spaniards
drink it just as we do water or milk,
which, by the way, we could not get pure
in all Spain; but travellers, / notice, always
call for Bordeaux, or, if French, Bour.
gogne Champagne seems to be drunk
only by, or in company of, ladies. Spain
is the soil of soils for the vine. but the
Spaniard is tcO lazy to improve 1t, so the
Spanish wines remain the same as In the
last century.
The true son of Spain does not improve
anything. Of his neighbor in France 1t is
true, Mill tetigit non ornavit, but the
Spaniard leaves 1t where it was. All the
fruits, the vegetables, all products of the
soil, remain unimproved. The Spaniard
does not even take the trouble to fertilize,
or, what is far more needed. to irrtgate
the land. The sun is so hot that 1t f9rces
the growth of seed, which is little better
than strewed upon the surface For they
do not plow in our sense of the term
they only scarify the surface. I
speak now only of Andalusis. The north
of Spain, the Basque provinces, CASTLE
and the coasts are to be cultivated with
zeal. 1 speak only of what 1 saw, and do
not say it reprehensibly; of course II
would make no difference If did, but
should speak, in justification Of the In
dolence of the Spaniard, of the extremely
enervating influence of the climate. II
was Just about as much as we could do In
Spain TO pack our baggage and see the
sights. Languor is the synonym OF the
climate in south Spain. The atmosphere
is infected with it, and travellers, being un-
Rcclimated, suffer most.

A Novel Clock.

The adoption of uniform standards
Of time all over the world, and of the
twenty -four-hour dial-which Is pro-
bable within . short time-will make
some changes in watches and clocks;
bat the American genius for inveu-
ton has already discounted the
change, and "universal" clock has
been constructed, or rather a univer-
sal dial, which tells the time OF any
given meridian on the globe. By an
ingenious but simple arrangement OF
figures the face of the clock shows at
. glance over what meridian the sun
IL on ut any hour. and which
half of the earth Is in daylight and
which Ia dark ness. Longitude, OF
course, can be told by the clock i'm
mediately from one observation. 1t
ought TO prove of great value in nav
igation, aud more especially in
schools, where the subject OF longi-
tude and time Is seldom clearly un-
dersto0d. This clock makes the re-
latiou between the two perfectly clear
TO the eye, as we'll as TO the mind.
