PARIS, March 5.-Peronnier, the
soldier who by firing his revolver in
the Chamber CT Deputies on the 25th
of February forced the SAFE to take
notice of him aud his grievances, has
already had an imitator. While bu,i-
ness was at its height this afternoon in
the Paris Bourse, strange man in the
gallery drew attention by making ap-
parently aimless demonstrations. Sub
seQuently he took bottle containing
an explosive liquid from q pocket aud
cast it down among the brokers upoa
the flor OF the exchange, crying gu.
as he did so give ansrehiel' The
bottle struck no one, remained intact
and made no episo le. A few specu-
lators who were interrupted in their
observations by the mans conduct
swore at him and asked why the
police did not remove him. The man
then drew a revolver and shot three
time down toward the man floor. He
soon had the gallery to himself and
continued to brandish his revolver and
yell "Vive anarchie !" Tremendous ex
element reignGd for a while in the
Exchange and all business was sus
pended
The disturber WAS soon seized and
hurried from the place, but none tex
soon, as the crowd, when they re
covered from their fright, became
furious aud sought the offender will

NEW ROHEME.

Do Lesseps is meeting with an owl
ton on the Istbmus, but notwithttand-
ing the prevalent opinion is that the
canal affair is in a very precarious con-
dit,ou. There is manifestly too little
work done for the money spent. 1t is
now said thai new scheme is on
hand. The cutting so far has been OF
soft earth, but there is a formidable
amount of hard rock to be excavated,
the cost OF which will be very great.
The new scheme said to be in contem.
plation Ia TO abandon altogether the
idea Of digging a level canal from
ocean to ocean, and to save a large
amount OF rock cutting by going less
deep than WIS intended, and intro
ducing locks enough to keep the water
up to the necessary hight. This would
be giving up the pre-eminent quality
of the Panama canal, would be COM
plete eclipse Of the fame OF Ds Les
seps, and the canal would be no
better at Panama than at Mica
raRua. Probably worse, for, though
rock cutting were saved, the
tremendous contingencies arising from
the ChaJres river would still remain.
The idea OF grand waterway, level
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific, was
grand one, aad the world will not
readily be willing to- give it up, and
De Lesseps's glory with IL.

The walls OF the house at Parthenon
Heights are covered with pictures,
mainly representing portraits Of the
ancestors OF the Rogerses family. One
OF the best pictures in the house is by
a celebrated Dutch painter, represent.
ing stout country lover with his
sweetheart on his back, crossing
brook. The look of rapture upon the
faces Of the two as he treads light as a
feather with his mountainous bnt
precious burden upon his broad shout
ders makes the picture stand out
among the grim-visaged Rogerses con-
ventiopal faces OF the family portraits,
as did the Winters Smith letter OF per-
feet joy among the Rogerses album Of
letters.
The Rogerses are constant subjects
OF wonderment TO the BladensbuIg
people. Bladensburg, although it is
only four miles from Washington, is
as remote in reality from the circle Of
what is going on as II it were in the
most extreme southwest OF Texas.
Few Of the residents of Bladensburg
ever 90 to Washington, and not over
half a dozen Of them read the newt
papers. They understand generally
that the Rogerses are very smart PEG
pie, and have done something by
which lightning can be harnessed up
and made useful. But just what it lie
none Of them appear TO know. OAR
kies, geese, dogs and COWS wander up
and down the streets Of BladensbuTg
in close intimacy. 1t is a sort OF a
coloTed citizens paradise. No one
ever heard Of any one doing any work
in Bladensburg. The dogs, the geese
and the darkies jus. loaf up and down
and gable ana bark at each other.
There used to be a little hotel here,
which bore the ambitious name OF the
Spa House. It's spa was beer keg

ties, but within the last two or three
weeks the proprietor Of the Spa House
has died. The house is now closed.
Only one or two saloons are left open
to give evidence of any commercial
life in this once busting tobacco port.
The old swinging sign Of the Spa
House, bearing on one side portrait
of Washington, the same colonial sign
which was put over it when the house
was built, is still there. 1t is possible
that the house may be opened again
some day, but when no Bladensburg
man would presume to say. Perched
up above this sleepy hamlet the Rog-
eTs are camped, and in the old house

SILVER AND THE TREAsUsY.

In reply to questions from the House
OF Representatives, Mr.. Manning, Sec.
Rotary OF the Treasury, has responded
in his reply-especially as TO whether
his policy in the future, with respect
10 silver, will be the same as in the
pait--with direct, clear and simple
straightf)rwardness. II 10 in strong
contrast with the confusing of the sill.
yer question with other topics as seen
in the late speech Of Mr.. Beck. Dis
tinctly and unanswersbly it is show
that the only way TO bimetallism is in
an unconditional suspension of the
silver coinage. The unnatural meth
DDS by which silver 10 bought, and
coined at an artificial value, reduces
the dollar to a mere subsidiary coin,
The attempt TO accomplish the impos-
sible work Of putting all the silver now
coined into circulation would end in
introducing a single metallic standard
into the country, and that a silver
one. The result would be that gold
would cease to circulate and be trans
ferred to European Golfers. The
Bland silver law was adopted
only as a supposed means Of establish
ing the bimetallic system elsewhere.
1t has failed to do 80, and the coinage
is now carried on without its original
ing object. Coming only to accumu-
late, and ioreing an unwilling circala-
ton, only diminishes respect for the
coin and tends to lower its circulating
value. A forced circulation leads II
the silver dollar being taken mot for
the silver that is in it, but for the gold
that ia behind it." When there is not
gold enough to give in exchange for it,
it will circulate for only the value Of
the silver that is in 1t, The Treasury
has tried by every means authorized
10 get the dollars coined into circula'
tioD, short Of forcing receipt oil them
60 as to disparage them. Notwith
standing the prominence silver has
occupied in recent controversy, the
United States law gives to the gold
d lllar only the function Of CUNT oil
value" The act Of February u, 1878
declares the gold dollar Of the United
States the unit of value. No other
law has changed that function Of
the gold dollar, or to-day endows Eny
other dollar with the same attribute.
It's value Is the unit Of value, its meas
ure Is made the only measure, and to
that MEASURE every other dollar must
conform. Dispute upon this, says the
Secretary, is impossible, "it has made
nv duty clear" He declares, ::there-
fore, that, conforming to the spirit
and letter Of the laws plain require
