st. Louis Globe Democrat; Congressman Wal
ker Of Massachusetts, has plan for the perpet-
uation Of the national banking system without
new issues Of bonds, II conforms In its main
features to the law governing the Bank Of Eng
land. Two classes Of bank bills are provided for,
one based upon coin reserves and the other upon
a guaranty Of redemption In coin by the govern
ment, but neither 10 be legal tender, The scheme
Is said to have the approval Of some Of the best
hnanClers Of the country.
Undoubtedly Any scheme under
heapen for the perpetuation Of the
national banking fraud will have the
approval Of the "Jinanciers" Now If
the Globe-DemOcrGt can by searching
find a congressman who has plan to
propose for the relief Of the depressed
industries Of the country, we would
like to see him trotted out until we
could sec who he is, and what part ot

THE Missouri antitrust law has
been declared unconstitutional"
This is no more than might have been
expected. All laws enacted for the
benefit Of the people, and in anyway
conflicting with the interests OF
monoplies will likely meet similar
fate until the people by their ballots
declare Doodle legislatures and courts
unconstitutional.

THE FUNERAL OF GEN. MATHER RECALLS
 ONE THAT TOOK PLACE THIRTY-TwO
 YEARS AGO.
 "The funeral of Gen. Thomas s. Mather Friday night" said Col. A. J. Babcock yesterday, reminded me of a funeral which took place thirty years ago under almost precisely the same circumstances. George Watson was Superintendent of the Great Vest ern Railway and he died suddenly in the rooms of Gen. Isaac Curran. The re- mains were taken to. J. l.. Lambs resi- dence, now occupied by Gen. Palmer, to which Gen. Mather's remains were taken yesterday; and from the Lamb residence the funeral took place one Sunday night in August, in the summer of 1858. The remains were taken to the Great Vest ern depot that night and transported eastward for burial. The Pioneer Fire Company, of which was 8 member, at tended the funearl and, headed by Mer- r1tt's Cornet Band, escorted the remains to the depot. The funeral took place at about the same hour of the night as that of Gen. Mather, and all the circum. stances of the two funerals were sc strikingly similar that I cannot helr speaking of it. t."-Springfield Sunday Journal, Nov. 23, 1890.

SCARED BY AN OWL.
Int Perii of Frightening DarlSies with
 PaHther Stories.

Ths Peril of Frightening Darlies with
 Panther Stories.
 Speaking of owls, sometimes serious results arise from being frightened by owls. We were camped, ten of us. soon afte~ our unpleasantness with the south, in weird place in the sunk lands in he vicinity of New Madrid, Mo-, then on hunt for turkey and deer. Ths trees about our camp were ornamented with game. On this even ing, while sitting in the tent engaged in a lively chat, there came suddenly from the deep, still forest about us a wild, unearthly scream, frightful enough to make the hair stand erect on the head of the initiated, and 1t would have made 1t stand on the head of Mat, our colored cook, whom we had taken from Cairo. had it not been for the kinks.
 As if by concert of thought, every countenance of the ten assumed an anxious look. "Pantherr" exclaimed an old hunter. Yes, responded an other. Smells our game" says the third Soon, naturally enough, we were engaged in the narration of blood curdling stories in relation to partners. Then one of the party thought we needed fresh water in camp, and Mat was detailed to bring it from the creek, a few rods away. He hesitated, but went, taking the ax with him and making the quickest trip on record. We noticed after that when night set in we always had abundance of fresh water in camp.
 The next year Mat was with us again klo 1>,,f camp, if possible, than the old one. One afternoon came into camp earlier than usual and found Mat sitting on a log, the whitest darky I ever saw, grasping with both hands one foot, the blood dripping from them. I found a frightful wound; he had put the full edge of the ax deeply and lengthwise into the top of his foot. With the aid of thread and glover's needle l closed the wound, and with bandages from linen coat l had in camp staunched the flow of blood. The next year Mat did not accom- | pany us, but procured another darky | who was several degrees darker than the ten of spades, but sharp, raised on plantation in Missouri.
 One day while chattering with Billy | he sad: MT. L., Matt says there are a good many partners here, and that I had better keep a good lookout and have the ax handy. Did he tell you how he came to cut his foot2 He said one day he was chopping, and when the ax was raised ready to strike, g panther screamed behind him n the timber, and he looked around sudden ly and somehow the ax came down or his foot"
 A few days after that came into camp and found Billy preparing food
 and a few yards in front of him, sit sing on branch of tree, was smal owl looking wisely at the darky. Billy
 with twinkle in his eye, pointed tt the owl and said, "Mr. L., there i.
 Mats panther"

A Cure for Snoring.

Snoring has for all time reigned supreme as the nocturnal curse, and literary experts declare that when Macbeth heard that he was to sleep no more it was simply an announcement that Mrs. Macbeth had been taught to snore But recent invention practi- cally abolishes the snore. It consists of a thin piece of celluloid to fit be- tween the teeth and lips. It Is made to follow the arch of the teeth and when we'll made fits snugly
 The reason why people snore is that they sleep with their mouths open. About nine out of ten persons breathe through the mouth during sleep. They all say they don't, but it's only d little fancy they do. A moments reflection will show that the nose was made for breathing and smelling and the mouth for eating and speaking.
 Three-quarters of the throat troubles are said to come from mouth breathing, and much of the evil of supposed ca tarrh is nothing but the effect of mouth breathing The bad taste in the mauth in the morning, the dryness of lips and tongue, all come from the passing of air through the wrong channel.
 The piece of celluloid prevents ail from passing through the mouth and forces it through the nose. It may be supposed that cold in the head will sometimes necessitate mouth breath ing. but not so. Colds in the head arc largely due to the sensitiveness of the nasal mem branes to the touch of air. caused by not using the nose fol breathing Once accustom the nostrils to passing air, especially the cool all of night, and cold in the head vii disappear. Nose breathing is an art and an athlete is not sure of succes! until he has mastered it.
 The celluloid appliance is light, ane after few nights use is no longer no ticed. It cannot be swallowed an( causes no disagreeable feeling. Aftel few weeks it develops the habit O. nose breathing and then it can be lait l aaddo. .-New York Journal.

A WORK OF ART
Salisbury's Soldiers Monument.

THE DESIGN SELECTED, AND THE CONTRACT
 AWARDED.
 In the recent competitor for a soldiers monument for the town of Salisbury, Connecticut, design by Geo. B. Bis sell, sculptor, of this city, was the unani- animous choice of the committee, and the contract for the work was given him.
 This monument will be 8 departure from the stereotyped designs to be seen in so many places, and is the materializ- ing of some ideas long entertained by MT. Bissen for such works.
 As a nation we were not conscious of the strength of our attachment to the Union until Fort Sumter was fired on. This aroused the people into frenzy of determination to fight for the supremacy of the Union over every state Tn it, and it is this idea which MT. Bissell proposes to perpetuate in granite and bronze A battlemented tower, with cannon run out for action, represents the nation during the war. A Statue of Liberty urmounts this tower and holds aloft in the sight of the nation the escutch- con of the United States with it's 13 stripes and every star in its place. This escutcheon has been made the CO., spicuous point, the central and leading idea of the monument. On the field of the escutcheon each state is represented by star, and the escutcheon of one of the states below on the face of tke tower indicates, by it's subordinate position, that the Supremacy of the Union over every state in it, is an ac. cepted and undisputed fact.
 The proportions of the monument are as follows: ..... Base 2 feet 6 inches square, and height of granite work about 13 feet. The | statue is of heroic size and of bronze bronze tablets, with the name of every man upon it who enlisted from the town of Salisbury, are arranged on the sides of the monument.-Poughkeepsie Eagle" Nov. 19, 1890.

A Man Who Lives to Eat.

A man "nO AIVcb tO Get.
 In the costliest of the eating houses in the Wall street region, I saw crowd of men taking nasty bites; but at ta. ble in quiet corner sat a leisurely and good looking but somewhat stout young man devouring canvas back duck.
 'sThere'sa a chap" said mutual ac- quaintance, "who spends between twenty-five and thirty dollars a day for table expenses. He has no one but himself to think of, and I think he is an unusually we'll behaved fellow. But his appetite is the biggest thing of its kind in town.
 It was observed that thirty dollars a day was an outside figure for one in dividual to eat up in a day.
 Not when the individual eats six times every twenty-four hours and has an especial fondness for canvas back duck, terrapin and choice wines. suppose you've heard the idea ex. pressed that the thin men are the big eaters That's mistake. Thin men have spasmodic appetites, and go fol two weeks at time pecking over theil plates like eanaries It Is the stout horid party that eats long and largely and are the fellows that keep the guy going against the thin men.
 'sNow, that chap eating the duel would give hundred thousand dol lars to lose fifty pounds of flesh, bu he can't deny his appetite if it were t save his life. Funny, eh2 What type we get here, don't wei Think of him with a cool million, loafing his Tiff away. He has never been to Europe reads nothing except the newspapers seldom goes to the theatre or opera but simply collects his rents ever. quarter and eats. We'll, we all hay an idol, suppose.

A con.ra.. Between Past and Present.

It is singularly suggestive fact that the patent office building, one of the most beautiful structures in this or any other country, is, in the main, a reproduction of the architecture of ancient Greece It is almost paradoxi- cal that the inventive genius of this young and vigorous nation, genius that has borne its part in revolution izing the arts and industries of the world, is thus visibly linked to the remote past; that the system which has placed our country in the van of the march of progress, system that makes aggressive warfare on the past and condemns the present, while 1t pays its devotion to the future, is housed in an edifice that was virtually conceived in brains that moldered back to kindred dust 3, ,000 years ago.-Cor New Orleans Picayune.
