1t is reported that the British Govern
mcnt is preparing to make a thorough
test of the Zalinski dynamite gun, and
that important orders have been given 10
the company with that end in view.
"Our Government" says the New York
NetcS, "has given the cold shoulder 10 the
dynamite gun, and if it were not for the
interference of Congress it would have
received no encouragement whatever from
the Ordnance Bureau OF the War De-
partment. That foreign Governments
should appreciate the merits of the new
scheme for operations of warfare more
quickly than our own would be exactly
ia line with what has happened before.
When the Hotchkiss gun was invented
by an American, it was offered to our
Government and the offer declined. The
company went abroad and established
immense works in France, and now it
has had the satisfaction of selling large
numbers OF its guns to our Government,
which has to import thom. When smoke
less powder was invented by an Ameri'
can, It was first offered to this Govern
mcnt and declined, aud now the army
aud navy officials are endeavoring to Sc
cure possession of the secret"

Mary Anne and Ellen Frances Dough
erty, two Irish girls in the employ Of
Barbour Brothers, thread manufacturers
of Paterson, n. j., have deposited with
that firm SIC, 900, every penny of which
has been saved from their earnings. The
girls came to this country nineteen years
ago and found work in the mill, where
they have been ever since. Tho con.
ditions under which this money has been
accumulated are remarkable, since tb y
show the hardship imposed by labor ald
endured by women laborers. Few
American girls could have stood the
ordeal. Employed in the wet spinning
room, where the moisture underfoot and
the steam heat overhead made it neces.
sary, for comfort and convenience, to
dispense with all superAuous clothing,
they worked without shoes or stockings,
wearing low-nccked aud sleeveless
dress from one years end to the other.
In this unsightly gaib the expense OF
clothing was reduced to minimum, half
Of the twenty-four hours being spent in
tho mill, and, as their living expenses
were covered by So, the rest of their
earnings remained with the mill-owners,
who, ns an encouragement to thrift and
industry, paid them six per cent. in

Among tho earliest lecturers on Rus

Baker, now of Boston, an escaped Slbe-
Iian exile, who carries the marks of the
knout on his back. His father was be-
headed in the latter part of the SOS for
participation in Polish insurrection,
aud he, his mother, sisters aud sweetheart
were packed off to Siberia by different
routes. The band of exiles which in
cludcd Baker rose against their guards
while on their way to Siberia. Some OF
the prisoners were shot down and Others
escaped, Baker being among the latter.
lie came to this country near the open
ing of the war, entered the Union army,
and served till peace was restored. Then
he joined the regular army, and saw SER
vice on the frontier. The loss of hand
by an accident forced his discharge, and
he has since been engaged in literary and
other pursuits. Now he is married to an
American lady, and lives in Boston,

of its institutions aud government. Since

materially changed his views. Mr.. Bak-

WORDS OF WISDOM.

To endcavor to work upon the vulgar
with fine sense, is like attempting to hev
blocks with razor.
Prejudice and sufficiency naturally
proceed from inexperience of the world
and ignorance of mankind.
One Of the greatest of all mental pleas.
ures is to have our thoughts often d.
vined; even entered into with sympathy.
Never be discouraged by trifes. II
spider breaks his thread twenty times he
will mend it as many. Perseverance and
patience will accomplish wonders.
Our desires always increase with our
possessions. The knowledge that some
thing remains yet unenjoyed impairs our
employment of the good before us.
There is little pleasure in the world
that is true and sincere beside the pleas
ure of doing our duty and doing good.
am sure no other is comparable to this.
There are two things which will make
us happy in this life if we attend to them.
The first is never to vex ourselves about
"h"I We IahnOS heipt anu lne SeCOnO,
never to vex ourselves about what we can
help.
If man has good opinion of himself
he is always elevated, for he would ques-
tion any one who claims to be above
him, and point with pride to the wisdom
of those who acknowledged he was above
them.
The man who feels imposed upon be-
cause he reads something contrary to his
own ideas, should remember there was
room enough in the world for all the
others after his conccit was thoroughly
developed.
The confusion of ideas is as necessary
as dish to hold water, yet some people
will be so forgetful as to parade their
ideas, and add an expression of hope
that the whole human race would be re-
deemed if all were compelled to accept
them

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.
Senator Mitchell OF Oregon
Makes an Effort IN Behalf of
the white Metal.

Senator Mitchell OF Oregon
| Makes an Effort IN Behalf Of
| the White Metal.
| WASHINGTON. Jan 30.-In the
Senate today a biz was reported for
| tpe further appropriation 81 $3.50
900 for a public building st Los
Angeles.
Mitchell addressed the Senate on
toe bill for the free coinage of silver.
1t, was, he said, q subject involving
contention in the maiE between the
rich ana the poor, between the debt
or and the creditor. class. Il in
volved a gigantic elfort--er perhaps
the term conspiracy" might not
be unappropriate--on the part 4
special class and its allies to de-
press val les, in order that the price
o. creditors bonds and notes and
mortgages and gold coin might be
Increased in value and their power
of absorption augmented. the
pending bill, he said, was not
demand for the issue OF an unlimit-
Ell supply of money, as all agreed
that such policy would be suicidal.
1t was a bill, however, to provide
for sufficient amount of clrculat-
ing medium to meet the largely in
creased ano largely increasing bust
ness of the country, and which
would tend to cheek the alarming
decline in the value of farms, farm
products and other commodities
The question was whether the
double standard of money should
be re-estaslished, or whether gold
alone should continue to be the
monetary standard? Was the
financial ship of America to sail
only in the wake of the golden
traaps of Great Britain.
Mitchell went on to argue that the
only way to restore and secure ma
tional prosperity was to provide by
law for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver ballion into standard
silver dollars of the present weight
and fineness, and to give to that
coinage the debt paying functions
of legal tender-of course, with
proper restrictions to protect minis
from imposition and also to pro
vide for the issue OF legal tender
certificates based on silver coinage. |
He regarded the Window bill as
fatally defective as it now stood, |
but with slight amendments it
stood third in his estimation as a |
measure in the right direction.
Free and unlimited coinage stood |
first.
