A SILVER BILL.

Cali. Sproule, Of the Free Press,
received a dispatch from Senator
Jones this morning stating that the
conference report on the silver bill
has been adopted and will become a
law.
This law provides for the purchase
by tho Government of 4, 100000 ounces
of silver per month, to be paid for in
certificates which shall be a legal
tender for all debts both public and
private, and redeemable in coin at the
option Of the holder. So far SO good;
but what is to be done with the silver
80 purchased, and what is the price
to be paid for the silver?.
We admit that we do not thorough
ly understand the measure, but it
looks like silver, under this new law,
is still held as commodity subject to
the fluctuations of the market, with
gold as the standard, and that the
coinage of silver dollars is left to the
discretion of the Secretary of the
Treasury. We are a little anxious
for the Carson Tribune to explain
wherein this law is better than free
coinage, for we confess that we are
unable to see it in that light.

They have not received sentence yet,

CHAPTER IX.

But have gotten q long way off. at
first Diana felt embarrassed at meeting
Mosely, but his easy manner and bright
wit soon wore away her constraint, and
sho found herself laughing at some
jeu d'eSprit Of his with zest that after
wards shocked her. When he left after
a twenty.minutes' talk she could not help
casting a regretful glance after him and
thinking how much more pleasant it
would be TO have him for companion
than Mr.. Florin. and that young gentle
man was glad to return to the hotel, she
Was so absent-minded and duh.
Mosely sew great deal of Diana
during the weeks that followed. They
walked together, they rode together
along the quiet country roads and
throngh the dim old forests, and they
promenaded the long yerandas in each
others society when the soft moonlight
threw a shimmery veil over the world.
Mosely often had dim consciousness Of
business tina. demanded his attention at
home. but still he fingered. He some
tines tried TO snalyze his feelings
toward the little beauty. but as he inva-
nably and without difficulty decided
that he was in love with her the task
grew monotonous and no ceased to talk
to himself about her, but sought every
opportunity to talk to her instead In
this he WAS hardly SO successful as he
could have wished, as Mr.. Florin haunt
ed her continually, and besides being
much alone with her had interrupted
more than one nice little tetc-a-tete be-
tween Mosely and her.

CHAPTER Y.

Mosely was unable to have private
conversation with Diana during the next
few days, though he tried every con-
ceiyable plan to attain that end.
She was always with either bevy of
| her own sex or with from one to half
dozen male admirers, and no matter
what was the number of the latter Mr..
| Florin was always there, till at last the
sight of a tight coat and flowing trousers
filled Mosely with mad thirst for blood.
One afternoon, after be had seen Diana
start off with party OF young people
of both sexes bound on lengthy ram
BILE in the glen above the bridge, he re-
ceived telegram from Richmond call
| ing him hence at once on urgent busi-
ness. 1t was with heavy heart that he
prepared to obey the summons. for be
would have to leave on the 9 o'clock
train that evening, and the failure OF all
his former efforts at seeing Diaua alone
made him despair OF doing so now.
A sharp little thunder-shower came up
soon and he felt vexed with Diana for
having gone out. He was in the little
establishment at the entrance to the
park, presided over by an old man with
tho beard OF patriarch and the manners
of n prophet, ostensibly trying to select
some souvenirs, when he saw Diana s
party returning from over the bridge,
thew having evidently come by path
that led over the bluff. Diana and Mr..
Florin were not with them and thus
served to put him in a worse humor than
ever. lie was beginning to feel rather
uneasy. when happening to look down
the path that led under the bridge ne
saw q form approaching, which, changed
though he was, he recognized as Mr..
Florin.
II was hard for those who bad seen
him 90 forth few hours before IN all the
glory of his Characteristic habiliments
10 RECOGNIZE him In the wet dirty,
muddy, bedraggled person trotting up
the walk. Under any other clrcum,,
stances Mosely would have felt tempted
TO laugh at the decentralization OF the
dandy. but he was too ANXIOUS for
Diana's safety to pay any particular at
! "Wbere is Miss Reid ?" he said
dnxlOu5ly as MI. iVt." r.
With many words Mr.. Florin went on
to explain the situation, but long ere he
finished Mosely dashed on down the
walk leaving him staring alter him with
open mouth.
Diana's failure to return to the hotel
with the rest Of the party was brought
about by peculiar circumstances; When
they saw the storm approaching they
started hurriedly homewsrd, deciding to
return by the path over the oian as De-
ing shorter and drier. When they came
to where they would have to. TO cross ross u, the 2

lowing letter to Mr.. Barnum
RICHMOND, Va, October 20. 1890.
p. r. Baraum, Esq, bridgeport
Conn. :
My Dear Mr.. Barnum,-You we're
telling Jokes in the Heraid of yester-
day. l read them and enjoyed them,
not because they were novel, for, as you
confessed, they were not, but because
there was an absolute merit in your way
of telling them. And, at any rate, L am
induced to tell you what occurred while
l was reading them.
NV wife and our dog were in a room
adjoining the one in which | sat, while 1
held the Herald IN my hand. l had re-
peated several of your jokes in the hear
ing Of both. While all Of them were
appreciated none OF them excited any
special attention except the one about
the sermon from the text, " Remember
Lots wife" At this point the dog, who
had been unusually quiet, with his tail
patted on the floor his approval and APP
plause, as well he might. My wife then
told me that the dog was excited by the
reading of the joke to the point OF
arising from his recumbent position Of
sitting on his launches in an alert man
ner, and of expressing in his eyes-the
most intelligent / have ever seen in q
dog--his seeming appreciation Of the
joke
am not going to snalyze this story
of my dog, although it far exceeds the
story which you tell about Eleazer lay
lor's dog, and almost oil the stories which
arc current about dogs. | simply youch
for the facts, preferring to leave the
analysis to Sir John Lubbock or some
such naturalist. L am tempted to add,
however, that YOU have become so ex'
pert caterer to the public amusement
that you have at least realized Mother
Hubbsrd's fashion OF making the little
dogs laugh. Very respectfully.
PEYToS WISE.
