Strange Vows.

Tho annals OF chivalry abound in
Secords Of VOWS, more or less romantic or
absurd. says tho New Orleans States.
FOR instance: Queen Joan, of Naples, at
grand feast at her castle of 'Farta,
honored the knight Galeazzo of Mantua
by opening the ball with him. When
the dance was finished tho grateful
Knight knelt down before his royal part.
aer, and to fifty express his aoknowl-
edgement Of the honor he had received
he took solemn vow to wander THROUGH
the world, visiting every country where
ieats OF arms were performed, and not
rest until he had subdued two valiant
knights and presented them as prisoners
ut his queens footstool, to be disposed
OF at her royal pleasure. Sure enough,
me doughty warrior, after year spent
IN wandering over Europe, returned like
Z cat with mouse in her mouth, and
laid his twoprisoners at the feet OF Queen
Joan. The queen took the gift very
gracefully, and, tho admiring historian
tells us. declined her right to impose
rigorous conditions on her captives, and
gave them liberty without ransom"
Often we have the letter with the vow
svaded with some special reasoning, and
tho spirit then broken with impunity.
For instance, a modern Rip Van Wrinkle
rowed that he would never drink another
;lrop of liquor as long as he had hair
On his head. A few hours later he was
lnet coming out of barber shop with q
poll as hairless as that of babe.
Damsels in love often make strange
rows. We all remember the case of the
poor young lady who was so overcome
by her lovers failure to appear at the
wedding that she ordered everything in
the house to be kept unchanged as
It had been on that hapless dav.
Years went by, the wedding feast re.
manned SET on the table, the rich
cakes nodded and were eaten BY the
mice, while the poor, half demented
lady fitted in and out of the de.
serted rooms of the house like a ghost,
always wearing the white dress and
veil which she had put on to welcome
the faithless lover who never came. A
similar case to this was that of a lady of
big h rank in England. who, being Tilted
by her lover, went to bed and vowed she
would never get up again, and kept her
word for twentv-six years. A less excu-
sable case was that OF q man who, find
ing that his wife was disposed to demand
too much hard work from him, took to
his bed with the avowed determination
to stay there. And for twenty-tw years
this worthless old scamp stayed between
the sheets. while his wife waited upon
him and fed him with persistent devo-
ton.
Vows Of perpetual silence are numer-
Gus, the only trouble being that those
who need this vow most do not take it,
Miss Caroline Brewer in 1910 vowed she
never would speak another word to anv
human being because she had a quarrel
with her lover. For thirty-fve wears,
until the day of her death, she was never
known to utter word Some years ago,
three sisters lived together. Two of
them quarreled and vowed never to speak
to each other again. They did not speak
for twenty years, when one of them
died, the other refusing to speak to her
even on her deathbed.

That is the whole story. The poor bond

And yet every Government bond, includ-
ing the interest on the same, is payable
in either gold or silver, at the pleasure
of the Government. Did the world ever

FIGURES To COMPOUND THE
BOLD RUGS.

Right along since the reconciliation
of silver in 1878 the United States has
regularly exported vast sums of silver
while attracting millions and millions of
GOLD from the Old World. We have
sent abroad in seven years more than
5000, 900, 600 of silver, and drawn from
foreign countries during the same period
more than $3.50, DOC. 900 of gold. Some
recent figures regarding the movements
of these metals for a single week in July
are intensely interesting, as well as the
comments Of the Mining Review in treat
ing of the same. Says that Journal:
"The report for the week ending July
Is, showing the expectation OF specie
from New York, presents the following
figures: The amount of gold exported
was SIS, $50, while the expectation of sill
YER during the same time was 1920, 400.
These figures do not afford very startling
evidence in proof of the reiterated charge
that the continued coinage OF silver
would certainly send our gold out of the
country and bring the silver of other ma
tions to our shores. At the time this
statement was made it's utter absurdity
was clearly shown, as it is well known
that there is no exchange of either goods
or the medium of exchange represented
by our currency, without an equivalent.
Not a single dollar in silver. gold, paper,
draft or any other form of currency ever
moved in any direction except in obedi.
ence to the law of exchange, for which
some equivalent in some form was re-
ceived. The terrible disaster of ships
dumping silver upon our Shores as
claimed by the mono-metallists and held
up as a bugbear, threatening dire con-
sequences, was one of the most absurd
propositions ever presented by any body
or class of men assuming to have common
intelligence, and if such a condition did
exist, if silver from any other country
should be thus generously bestowed upon
our people, there is nj reason why it
should be regarded as a calamity, as
under the laws of our Government silver
has a value as currency, and is a legal
tender"

SPEAKER CARLISLE ON THE
ADMINISTRATION.

speaker OarIisle IL oue VI VIC apiess
and best men in public life. He is the
stanch and unyielding supporter of silver,
and in him centers the main hope of the
silver interest in the coming Congress.
He will be reelected Speaker without
difficulty, and we may rely upon it that
he will give the silver men a fair show
on the committees having jurisdiction Of
the subject. 1t is particularly fortunate
for the mining States that Mr.. Carlisle
occupies such relations to his party that
no power on earth can defeat him for
this important post. Sam Randall's fol-
lowing is, as a rule, made up Of monopo-
lists and gold bugs. He was able to
muster only about so votes for Speaker
two years ago, and the same number Of
Democratic votes for his pet scheme to
strike down silver in the closing days of
the last Congress. With Randall as
Speaker. to form the committees, silver
would be degraded to the level of his
favorite pig iron within 30 days after the
next meeting Of Congress. But he has
no show for the place even though the
whole power of the Administration
should be exerted in his behalf. A late
Washington telegram, to the Louisville
Courier.Journal, has this to say of Mr..
Carlisle and the new Administration:
"Speaker Carlisle left for home this
afternoon. During his stay he succeeded
in getting a few Democrats in Office and
having plain talk with the heads of the
Government about the future policy Of
the party in power. Mr.. Carlisle did
not conceal his views as to what he
thought was the wise and proper course
for the Administration to pursue, not
only in regard to the tariff and silver
questions. but upon the subject of Office.
He does not believe that the Civil Service
Commission, as at present constituted,
gives Democrats an equal show with the
Republicans, and says so. He 10 also
opposed to the rule requiring charges to
be made against Republican oficeholder.
by Democrats in order to secure for the
latter what he deems their just rights.
He also thinks that the party should moi
condemn the President too harshly, for,
in his opinion, Mr.. Cleveland is q good
Democrat, and will so prove himself"
