B. & o. train at Woodstock, Va,
Thursday. The conductor suspected
an elopement and communicated the
surmise to Rev. W. X. Marshall, Of

same time an enterprlsing friend OF
the pair, brought along as business
manager and master of ceremonies,
being on the lookout for minister,
discovered Mr.. Marshall's profession

stroke made by The manager, for now
no delay whatever would ensue when

WHILE we are looking at the bear
ing of the new tariff bill on our in
dustry let us for a moment see how
silver is compelling (?) our country
to export gold, and how other nations
are dumping their silver upon us in
exchange. Here are the figures for
the last three fiscal years, gathered
from documents issued from the
treasury departments:
Imports. Exports.
1SS3-Gold. SIT, ,734, l49 Sl1,60O,sS0
Silver. 1O,755,242 1880, 1853

1SS5-Gold. 26692,G G96 S,736 2l2
-SilveI. 16,55OG3O 33,O49 423
That is to say that during the
three years named, in spite of silver
coinage, $5,739,113 more gold came
into the country than was driven
out.
But how with silver? The aston
ishing fact is, in face of the plea that
silver will drive gold out, 800, 1O2, ,342
more silver was invited to foreign
shores than came to ours according
tomodern economists Il big gain to MS.
Add to this the gain in gold of
$5,739,113, and it stands S95 ,S41 ,455
altogether IN our favor.
But the truth is, the loss in both
currencies to us was 4,364,229, for
which the movement of neither gold
nor silver was probably responsible,
but, If either, it is clear it was not sill
yer, since the latter appeared doubly
acceptable abroad.

Touching the same subject the Lon
aconing Recieao of yesterday remarks:
The keeping open of the public schools now
rests with the school board. The teachers of
the county say they must have it, and they
are right; the general public, like the teach
ers, believe they are entitled to the benefit Of
the full term. The county commissioners
have not committed themselves, but we are
inclined to believe they will appropriate the
money. By their action in this matter the
School Board will place themselves on record
as for or against the public good.
A letter from Secretary Weimer to
Prof. Buckley, received this morning,
state, that he will call a meeting of
the School Board ar an early date,
presumably to consider the subject
matter of the latter's communication.

Colorado, to Matthias Rodda, of this
place, represents "work ard wages as
the all absorbing topic of conversation
here as well as in Maryland.' Con
tinuing lie says:
would like to state, for the benefit of
those who wish to know, that work in Col
orado is not to be had for the asking. The
coal mines all over the State are doing little
business now, and there are q large num-
Der of good practical miners out of employ
ment at present. Many Of them go to the
mountains during the summer seeking work,
or prospecting" Work in the silver mining
camps will not begin in the newly discovered
camps Until June or July, so you see that a
man out of employment now will have to
continue idle until the work in the noun
tains opens up.
AS to wages-the man who expects So per
day now in Colorado will get badly left, as
there are plenty of good men working for 50,
and have been doing so all winter.
The coal mines, many of them, closed
business earlier this spring than usual, and a
dull time is looked for in the coal camp this
summer. Should it prove otherwise l will
take pleasure in writing you.
The climate here is all that can be desired
by the most fastidious. The sun never fails
