Last Friday night was one OF the most
peculiar nights ever experienced in this
vicinity. Several hours before sunset the
sky grew dark, and the sun hung like
huge, b,ood-red eye above the horizon. The
rotundity of its shape was as apparent and
its outline as clear as if it had been a great
crystal balloon filled with ruby wine The
sunshine deepened from its usually golden
sunset hue to the deepest orange red, and
seemed 10 stain the whole earth with a
bloOd-red hue. Everyone who noticed ii
was more or less possessed by a
sense of awe. Some predicted a ter

end Of the world will be preceded by Just

burning logs, which IS 50 characteristic of

sunk in the west il was noticed that in the
country fowls Of all kinds sought their

sooner than usual, Just as they do during
an eclipse. When the sun had set and
night came the moon rose in the eastern
sky with the same red appearance which
had been noticed in the sun. Not a star

FIGHTING FOR SILVER.

Messrs. Chandler OF Georgia and
Weaver OF Nebraska, as our dispatches OF
this afternoon show, got in some telling
work in the House to-day against the
proposition to suspend the coinage OF
silver dollars. We believe it is now gem
orally admitted, in both financial and
political circles, that the gold men res
urrected the wrong corpse when they
dug mp the silver suspension bill, and
that nothing now remains but to gently
lay 1t away to rest again.
When such countries ns Great Britain,
Germany and Japan commence clamor-
ing for the white metal for the purpose OF
placing it alongside OF gold, it is not II
pleasing commentary on the statesman
ship OF the men in America who, with the
experience OF the abovc-nmed countries
before them. iill'keep up their warfare
OH silver. Theiconviction. however, that
the fight on their part will only result in
certain defeat, is consolation to the
friends oil silver everywhere.
