4 Novel Revenge.

A new and novel way of seeking revenge
came to light in Oakland few days ago
A man named Page, for non-payment o
om.rent, and also for being on too famil
lar terms with spirits of a host of the de-
partment whom he nightly communicated
with to the great alarm of fellow dodgers,
was elected from a lodging house. As he
departed from the house he informed the
land lady that he would send the undertaken
after her. The lady did not comprehend
the significance of the remark until she had
been "called on by nearly every dead wag-
on in the city. She "tumbed" at last and
her ire was great.

Arlie, young lady of that place, is gradu

spreading rapidly. A somewhat romantic
story is told in connection with the fact in
which the young lady is made to appear
the victim of curse. 1t is said that her
father, a prominent South Carolina planter,
shot one of his negroes dead, and the wife
OF the latter invoked upon the head of this

DON'T USE BIG WORDS.

In promulgating eseteric cogitations or ar
ticuating superficial sentimentalities and
philosophical or psychological observations,
beware of pladtudinous poAderosity. Let
your statements possess a clarified concise
ness, coalescent consistency and concentrat
ed cogency. Eschew all conglomerations Of
hatulent garrulity, jejeune b&bblement as as
mime Alterations. Let your extemporaneous
descantings and unprecedented expatiations
have intelligibility and veracious vivacity
without rhodomentadc or thrasonical bonn
bast. Seduously avoid all polysyllabic pro-
fundity, Prittaceous vacuity and gandiloquent
vaPidity; shun double entendres, prurient
jocesity and Pestiferous profanity, obscurant
Or apparent. In other words, talk plainly

NATIONAL SUICIDE

That the policy of the government Of the
calculated to retard the growth, develop
ment and prosperity of our country, there
can be no doubt. In any other country ir
the civilized world the elements of strength
are fostered and protected. In Americs
alone are they neglected and made tributary
10 the prosperity Of other nations, who may
at some time use this advantage to our injury
if not destruction. Gold is given fctic
ious value in Europe by legislative action
which compels the Bank of England and
the German National Bank to buy all gold
offered at a certain price, and pay for the
same in their notes. II these legislative
bodies can thus establish the value Of gold
they can change the standard and price.
The necessities of foreign nations are such
that they are compelled to purchase silver.
The United States is producer instead Of a
purchaser of that metal. Our government
could fix its market value, and buyers would
De compelled to pay their price.
A member of the English Parliament has
said "The effect of the depreciation Of
silver must finally be The ruin of the wheat
and cotton industry of America, and be the
development of India as the chief wheat
and cotton exporter of the world"
Thus we have three Of our greatest indus
tries threatened-silver, wheat and cotton.
Cripple these industries and you cripple the
whole nation. The history Of the world
does not show anywhere in its pages an ex.
ample of any other nation refusing to profit
by the means within its reach, and the ques-
ton naturally arises, why is it so with us2
Are our statesmen herd Of asses, or have
our leaders a personal interest in the de-
struction Of our resources?
