A Premium on Gold.

A correspondent writes to the Phila-
delphia Press: yesterday I had coca
sion to purchase gold dollar, went to the
Mint and to receive one to pay $1.25 for
it. Is this right? Does the extra
quarter go into the pocket of the en-
ploye, or does the Government receive
it?" One of the officers of the Mint
who was asked about the matter said
that they had no gold dollors on hand
for general circulation, and on account
of the heavy pressure upon the Mint for
other coinage on Government or private
account, Superintendent Snowden could
not undertake the manufacture Of any
at present. What are called "proof"
COINS, he added, were struck every year
from polished dies On hand-press for
cabinets and coin collectors. The extra
IS cents was charged to cover the ex-
pense of manufacture. This also yields
q profit, which is not large, the work
being done as public accommodation.
The receipts are paid into the. Uuited
States Treasury every quarter, accom-
panied by detailed account OF all the
proof coins sold. Proof silver and mi
nor coins are only sold in sets, but gold
coins can be bought singly at an advance
of Is cents each above their nominal
value. The only gold dollars that can
be bought at the Mint are the proofs,
which are $12 cents each and cannot
be sold for less.

Washington Correspondence.

washington correspondence.
There are only three rooms in the
White House now that are not open to
the public on reception days. These
are the Presidents private chamber
Mrs. McElroy's room, and little Nellie's
chamber. Mr.. Arthur has taken great
pains in fixing up his little girls room,
It has two large windows that overlook
the Potomac and the park in the rear of
the White House. Miss Nellie invites
her young friends to her room when
they come to see her, and there the
children enjoy themselves by getting up
mock receptions and all manner of
games known to young children. He
is always welcome, but story is ex-
acted of him by way Of toll. When the
President is particularly bored
by of6ce-seekers and President
makers he escapes. to Ne]he's
room and forgets his cares in listening
to the innocent prattle of the young
people. Mr.. Arthur has great fund
of stories at his command. Should he
tire of political life he could make
fortune as e. novelist or story writer.
Miss. Nellie's favorite story is entitled
the "Gothan Princess" This story has
never been copyrighted by Mr.. Arthur.
but if it were published it might make
as big sensation as Mr.. Blaine's book.
It is bold sarcasm on NewYork soci
ETY.. It has a good ending, however.
The Gotham Princess puts all the other
New-York young ladies to shame and
marries Prince Rosebud. Together
the Prince and Princess moor their bark
in quiet waters after having passed
through many stormy seas: Miss Mel
lies room is handsomely furnished
The furniture is blue, with curtains to
match. Several pictures adorn the
walls. Mrs. McElroy's room is adjoin
ing. Mr.. Arthurs room is pronounced
by those who have had the: good fortune
to see it to be dream. i.

T. Portentcas Army.

There are vast armed forces in India
that are not under British control.
Letters to the London Times show that
population Of 49, 05O, 900 Hindoos and
Mohammedanns under princes Of their
own, main tain armies numbering 34",-
S35 troops, with an artillery of 4,23tj
guns. In sill the native states q war
like apirit prevails, and the discipline
and the weapons are, as a rule, excel
lent. The 100000 soldiers of the Ma
harajah of Nepaul would ask nothing
better than be lod to battle, whoever
the adversary. Before the consolida-
ton of the British dominion the troops
were redoubtable antagonists to the
best European skill and discipline.
Now these soldiers are simply thu toys
Of the princes. They have no duties to
perform, for British rule preserves
peace from the Hin1alayas to t}~ ocean.
But it is possible that in the course Of
time some sagacious and ambitious ma
tive prince may unite these immense
forces, resistance to which could not he
offered by the comparatively insignif-
cant number of soldiers under great
Britain's control.

Mr.. Moody talked on the needs Of
young men in New York. He said ::
Your Christian work won't go on I'M

months and nobody will ever speak to
him. 7 have heard sermons on recog~

be good plan to recognize them on

Life's Journey.
CARLYLE.

carlyle.
The last stage Of lifes journey is
necessarily dark, sad and carried on un-
der steadily increasing difficulties. We
are alone; all our loved ones and cheer
ing fellow pilgrims gone. No
welcome shine Of q human cottage with
its hospltable candle now alight for us
in these waste solitudes. Our eyes, If
we have any light, rest only On the eter-
nal stars. Thus we stagger on, imped-
iments increasing, force diminishing,
till at length there is equality between
the terms, and we do oil infallibly ar
rive. So it has been from the begin
ming; so it will be to the end--forever
mystery and miracle before which hui
man intellect falls dumb. Do we reach
those stars, then? Do we sink in those
swamps among the dance of dying
dreams? Is the threshold we step over
but the brink in that instance, and our
home thenceforth an infinite inane?
God, our Eternal Maker, alone knows,
and it shall be as he wills, not as we
would. His mercy be upon us!

Eunice's Twins.

mo, can't say that I've had pros
porous season." observed one passenger
to another. "Last spring mo and my
old woman thought we'd keep summer
boarders and make some money. We
have big house, able to accommodate
eighteen people beside our own folks,
so we writ to orr sons and darters in
the city, tellin' 'em what we had de-
cided on, an askin 'em to say good
word for us to their friends. Well, we
fixed the old house up in fine shape and
waited for our boarders. Purity soon
our darter Mary came down from
town with her three children, and said
she had spoken to all her friends
about us. In about week Barter En-
came with her four children. She said
the same thing, an though they wasn't
profitable boarders we hoped for new
kind, and felt much encouraged from
what they told us. The next arrival
was my wife's sister Sal and her two
nearly grown-up children. I was
good deal discouraged then, but my old
woman braced me up by sayin' some
payin' boarders was comm and we
could 'commodate six more anyway.
The next arrival was my darter Eunice
with her husband and two children. They
all settled down as if they lowed to stay
all summer, an was purity badly broken
up about it, Itold my old woman things
were getting down to q fine point an not
much left of the garden truck She en-
couraged me by sayin' we still had room
for two boarders, an we'd charge them
enough to run the whole house. Two
days afterward I saw strange man
stop and go in, an thought luck he'd
turned at last, and killed two chickens
before I got to the house. When I did
get there I discovered he was my broth
er, Jim, who hadn't seen for twelve
years, come to spend the summer with
me. That settled me on the summer
boarder business, though the old woman
said we still had room for one boarder,
and by making the hired man sleep in
the barn we coud take in two, an that
would clear the house. When I come
in from work the next night my darter
En- met me On the porch, and sold
smilingly, Father says she, we've got
two new boarders. They came this
afternoon. Come up stairs and see
them wait till I dress up bit, says
I. So I washed, put on collar, and,
feeling good deal encouraged, went
mp stairs. There was all the girls and
my old woman. Pap says she with
tears in her eyes, the house is full at

HERvoUs ORATORS.
Een Who Always Shake and Tre1nb1e Be-
fore Masking Great Speech.


Great orators are almost invariably
nervous with apprehension when about
to make an important speech. Luther,
to his last years, trembled when he en-
tered the pulpit; the same is true Of
Robert Hall. Mr.. Cough confesses
chat he is always in Iremor when COM
ing before an audience. Many of the
leaders Of the house Of commons have
given similar testimony. Ginning said
he could always tell in advance when
he was about to make one Of
the best speeches by chill running
through him, caused by fear Of fall
IRE. Lord Derby, father OF the present
Earl, when a young man, WAS one of the
best speakers in Parliament. He was
known as the "Prince Rupert of de-
bate" and seemed 80 self-possessed as
10 be incapable of embarrassment.
But he said: when ] am going to
speak, rny throat and lips are as dry as
those of man who is going to be
hanged" He also told the late Sir A.
Allison that che never rose to speak,
CSOA LII Hi1 aAUSA uI'oh NI1AIoi faSnCLuOAy /,
without experiencing 8 certain degree
Of nervous treuor, which did not 60 of
till he warmed to the subject"
It is recorded of Cicero that che
shuddered visibly over his whole body
when he first began to speak" In the
Life of Lord Lyndhurst," by Sir The
odore Martin, we are told that he did
not prepare his speeches. "Though,
like all great orators, he never
rose to speak without nervous emotion,
this in no way interferred with his pow
er of thinking as he spoke, and calling
into play the fttest language TO express
what he thought. The intensity with
which his INTELLECT work ed became con-
tagious. He got Lis hearers minds
within his grasp, he made them think
with hun, SEQ things with the same
:learness as he himself saw them, AMI
50 led them insensibly up to his own
conclusions. Tierney, whom Lord
Macaulay calls one of the most fluent
1eDators ever known, said he noverros
II parliament without feeling his knees
Knock together. 1t is one Of the com
,ensations of nature that the nervous
temperament which occasions the
rembling is also o,,e of the causes Of
oratorIcal SUCCESS In fnct, It may al
most be SAID that no one can be great
orator, or really effective speaker.
Tho does not experience the feeling.

e. III arked. Youth.

Years ago, there lived III the interior

who also worked at the trade Of u pot

whenever the farm CT the pottery re-
laxed their hold upon him, he would
be found repairing some damaged arti

His father was poor; the farm was
small and could only be enlarged by
clearing mp the primeval forest. This
boy was anxious 10 acquire knowledge,
but his services were so necessary to.
his father that he could not 10 spared

school.
But the boy was in earnest. With
The aid of his brother, one year bis jun

crops, and then asked as his compensa.
ton to be allowed to attend school dur
ing the winter OF course the father
granted his wish.
When the boy was seventeen, the
fathers pottery business had so in
creased as to demand 3 more extensive
factory. A carpenter was hired to build
he new building, and the boy assisted
him.
So familiar did he become with the
tools and the trade, tllat he determined
with the aid of the younger brother, to
erect a two-story frame dwelling house.
Coz his fathers family.
The two boys cut the timber from the.
forest, planned and framed the struc~
ture, and then invited the neighboss to
assist at the "raising." They came
from far and near to see what a lad of
seventeen had done, When every NOR

"Seest thou man diligent in his bus

that the man who has done we'll in little

shall not waste himself on work to
