London quotation, 514 pence ster-
ling exchange, $4.S7a parity 81. 1854.
Purchased for the Philadelphia, San
Francisco and New York mints, 100000
ounces. He declined absolutely to say
anything in regard to the price paid.
1t was learned, however, from another
source that the purchases were at rates
slightly in excess of the London prices,
514 pence, and its New York equivalent,
81. 1854, and the offers aggregated near
ly one million ounces.
Senator Teller today introduced new
silver bill in the shape of an amend
ment to the bill to discontinue the coin
age OF IS and 81 gold pieces and 5-cent
nickel pieces. The bill differs from the
present law, principally in that it re-
tains the continued monthly coinage of
$2,O0O,000 ounces of silver into standard
dollars; strikes out the provision that
the rate of coinage shall be free until
July 1891, only does away with the dis
cretion given the secretary of the treas
ury that the notes issued in place of
bullion may be redeemable, either in
gold or silver, and provides for the free
coinage of silver when the market price
for 371.25 grains reaches one dollar.

Difficulty of Stealing.

Only one attempt was ever made to steal
from the bureau Of engraving and print
ing. An employe engaged in printing S.
bills brought sheet of lead foil with him
one morning when he came to work, and
slid it through his press without putting
any ink on the plate that once. The i'm
preston that he got of the plate was first
rate, but he was nabbed before he got out
of the building on information by the girl
assistant at his press, who saw him do the
act. He was sent to the penitentiary, and
patent device was promptly adopted for
future protection by which each press reg
listers every revolution of the cylinder that
prints one sheet Of notes. The number OF
notes printed must correspond exactly
with the number of revolutions or else
there will be trouble, and no lead foil OF
wax either can be slipped through without
leaving an unexplained record of its pas

A Horse That Knew Thing or Two.

A great many horses are fed on the
streets from "oat bags" drawn up over
their noses, and wobbling about in man
ner which must make it very uncomfort-
able to eat ones dinner in that way. A
bright horse down in "Pie alley" the other
day had nearly reached the bottom of his
bag. 1t wobbled awfully, but the oats
were sweet and he was hungry. In front
of him stood wagon, and the wagon had
wheel. Happy thought! He walked up
to the wheel, rested his canvas bucket on
the top of it and finished his dinner to the
last oat in comfortable, leisurely fashion,
and with twinkle in his eye. If that was
not triumph of mind over matter what
is?-Boston Herald.

In Japan the postman wears suit Of
blue cloth, a wide butter bowl hat, and
walks or rather trots along in comfortable

cart bears his budget, or perchance, being
light, the postbag is carried by hand. From
station to station the postman hurries
along, often running mile after mile, to
deliver his precious bag into the keeping
of the next man ON the route. In this way
the mail is carried in the greater part Of
the Japanese empire. .-Harper's Bazaar.

GONE INTO EFFECT.
The Buying Of Bullion Begun Under the
New Silver Act.

WASHINGTON, August 12-For some
unexplained reason the treasury officers
are disposed to be very secret and mys-
terious in regard to today's silver trans
actions. They refused, absolutely, to
give out any information in regard to
offers for the sale of silver bullion to the
government, which may have been re-
ceived by the department today, under
the circular of August lst.
The director of the mint said this
afternoon that the department would
announce the London prices OF silver,
but would not under any circumstances
let the public know the rates paid by
the government for its purchases, pro-
vided any are made.
In accordance with this declaration

Handsome little tin trinkets were

OUR NEW RESIDENTS.
who They Are, Where They Come
From, What They VIII DO.

Hundreds OF new people come to
Roanoke every month in the year and
become part of the business and
social life of the growing city OF the
southwest. Just how many people
come and who all Of them are, of
course, it is almost imp ossible to
know, but the TIMES desires to pub
fish the name Of every family re-
moving here, where they come from,
what brought them here, and in what
business the various heads OF the fam
lilies intend to engage.
There will be still larger influx Of
people here with the passage of the
appropriation for the Roanoke and
Southern, and the opening of spring,
and the readers of the TIMES can aid
in the work materially by sending in
the name Of any person whom they
may know who has moved here since
the first OF December. This informa-
ton will be both interesting and val
liable, and reporters for the TIMES
will begin on it today.
Mr.. d. r. Bowman, OF Missouri, has
made Roanoke his permanent home
in the last week, and become a mem
Der of the real-estate firm OF L. l..

Mr.. Bowman has lived in Florida
and California, but thinks southwest
Virginia surpasses both sections in
inducements for settlement and the
investment of capital.

CONGRESSIONAL.
A Discussion on the Rules Of the
House.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January Z.
HoUsE-There was an unusually
small number of members present
when the house was called to order at
noon, and the prayer OF the chaplain
for the divine protection Of the sick
representatives was listened to with
unwonted interest.
On motion OF Mr.. Carlisle, OF Ken
lucky, (acting under Instructions
from the committee on rules q reso-
luton was adopted providing for the
appointment OF two additional mem-
beers on the committee on commerce.
The speaker stated to the house that
lin accordance with the authority
vested in him yesterday he had ad-
ministered the oath of office to Samuel
J. Randall, of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. McComas, of Maryland, offered
resolution that the house resolve
itself into committee of the whole
for che consideration Of the District OF
Columbia appropriation bill, the com.
mittee to be governed by the rules OF
the last congress. Mr.. Breckenridge,
OF Kentucky, called Mr.. McComas, at
tention to the fact that both MIR.
Dockery, OF Missouri, and Mr.. Glenn
ents, OF Georgia, members OF the sub
committee of the committee on ep-
propriations) were absent on &C
count Of sickness-and asked that the
bill be not considered today. Mr..
McComas said that so far as he knew
there was no difference III regard to
the bill existing between his demo-
cratic colleagues and himself, and he
insisted upon pressing his resolution.
Mr.. Breckenridge thereupon raised
the question of consideration against
the resolution. The speaker ruled
that the question of consideration
could not be raised against the reso-
luton because the resolution was In
the nature OF q motion regulating
the business of the house. Mr.. Breck.
inridge called attention to the fact
that the resolution went further
than that, and provided for
the adoption of the code Of
rules, but the speaker maintained
his position. Mr.. Breckenridge
appealed from the decision and yielded
the floor to Mr.. Carlisle, of Kentucky,
who vigorously attacked the speakers
ruling. He agreed that no question
of consideration could be raised
against the motion to 60 into
committee of the whole, but pending
the resolution went far beyond that
and provided temporarily, it was.true)
for the code of rules. He thought the
time had come when the House III it
wa01g be governed by the rules)
should have those rules. (Applause
on the Democratic side.) all gentle
men on both sides of the House had
the right to know precisely what their
rights were here as representatives OF
their constituents.

Exciting Runaway.

A horse belonging to Mr.. c. L. Will
liams, of Seventh. avenue, and at
tached to the Star express wagon,
took fright yesterday morning and
ran with break-neck speed down the
avenue, threatening instant annihi-
lation to pedestrians along that thor
oughfare. The frightened animal
did not check his speed until nearly
opposite the public school building,
when he was stopped by a gentleman
who was passing that way. No dam
age was done except to the vehicle, las
no one was in it at the time.
