Lower the Meat Bills.

Everybody has his or her way Of living,
and, if they would tell, the whole race
might be benefited by it. But whatever
the theories may be, whether one reader
believes in a meat diet and another does
not, it would be interesting to know how
each succeeded. Tho writer has often
heard the remark: Il wonder how a man
on SO manages to liver" Yes, it may be
wonder, but hundreds of men do it, and
the writer knows, within the range of his
own experience at least, half dozen uen
who do it, and do 1t seemingly very nicely.
Their wives wear Inexpensive bat neat
and attractive looking clothes, the chill.
dren who 60 to school look as clean and
as well dressed as the children Of some
other men who earn more, and the pre-
sumption Is that each Of these families
get enough to eat. At all events they
Certainly look as if they did.
Now, with little study, the writer
does not hesitate to say many families
could cave money.

Stories Of Confederate Money.

Congressman Grimes, who represents
the Fourth Georgia district, told couple
Of stories very pertinent to the subject
and which greatly amused his auditors:
In the latter part Of 1863" said Mr..
Grimes, "a young man who lived In La
Grange, Ga, became possessed OF the sum
Of $500 in Confederate money. He was
Of thrifty turn and wanted to add to it.
With that purpose in view he invested his
money in barl Of whisky. This he sold
by the drink, and at the end Of the week
had disposed of the whole barrel and had
$1,000 in hand, net profit Of 800. The
young man was highly elated. He saw
Ills way clear to fortune In short time.
''Of course he decided to buy more
whisky at wholesale and sell 1t by the
small measure, but he had not taken into
account the wear and tear which the
credit Of the Confederacy had suffered
during the week which 1t had taken him
to sell out his barrel. When he went to
invest in another supply he found that he
could not make q purchase similar to his
first one for less than 81, 500. The financial
fluctuations involved In the transaction
knocked him SO completely out that he re-
tired permanently from commercial life
and hired himself out as ali sgriculturist.
When his hearers had finished laughing
at this story, Mr.. Grimes gave them tho
other one. 1t was in the same town
La Graugc-and in the latter part Of
1864" he said. ''One old gentleman there
who had persistentiy predicted the failure
of the Confederacy was one day deriding
tho currency that was then SO plentiful
and Of such little value. He said that i:
was 50 worthless that nobody would even
steal it or pick 1t up If found On the street
He pulled ont q $1,000 bill-Coufederato
money, of colirse--and declared that he
could tack it with pin to the fence
around the court house, leave it there Ave
hours. and that nobody would think
enough Of it TO put it in his pocket His
offer was accepted. Tho note was pinned
to.tho fence and at the end Of five Ilour'
lie and the man to whom he had been talk
ing went out to see what there was to BE-
seen. Mr.. Grimes here paused.
"WelI:' inquired Mr.. Allen, of Aiesl7
sippi.
The $1,000 note was there, replied
Mr.. Grimes, and pinned beside it was an
other Confederate bill, the denomination
Of which was 1000. '--Atlanta Constitu

Leader Of & Monkey Tribe.

When they get ready to start on their
expedition an old monkey, the leader Of
the tribe, with staff in his hand, SO as to
stand upright moro easily. marches ahead
on two legs, thus being more elevated
than the others, SO as to SEQ signs Of dan
ger more readily. The rest follow him On
eli fours. The leader advances slowly and
cautiously, carefully accommodating in
all directions, till the party arrives a. tho
corn field. He then assigns the sentinels
to their respective posts. All being now
in readiness, the rest of the tribe ravage
and eat to their hearts content When
they retire each one carries two Or three
ears of corn along, and from this provision
the sentinels are RECALLED on their arrival
ct their lair
Here We see ability to rule and will
ingness to submit to rule; thou ghtful
preparation Of means 20 the end in view
and Il recognition Of the rights of the
sentinels to be suitably rewarded at the
close Of the expedition. Wherein does
eli this differ from similar foray of a
tribe of savage men? The only difference
is in degree; otherwise it is much the
same.-Professor Edwin Emerson in Pop.

Alexandria Times: Mr. Rittenhouse,
speaking for the Alliance, says If the
Democrats fail to give greater volume
of currency they will receive the same
kind of punishment in ,"-meAning
as that the Republicans received on the
4th of November. The Times is happy
to cordially endorse this sentiment
that is, if the Democrats have it in
their power to expand the volume of
currency and fail to do so. Of course.
they cannot be held responsible for the
sins of the Republican party. The peo-
pie demand the unlimited coinage Of
silver, and will DO content with moth
ing else. If Mr.. Cleveland clings to his
adverse opinion on this question, then
let Mr.. Cleveland be put aside and
some candidate selected whose senti.
ments on the question of finance are 10
accord with those of the people and op
posed to the policy of the gold.bugs Of
Wall street. That the great body Of
the Democratic party are in favor of the
expansion of the currency, By the coin
age of silver or otherwise, goes without
saying, and the self-etyled Democ1at
who is not, ia sailing under false eolors.
