| soldier last night as he rested his war-worn
| frame In a chair at the Monongahela House,
| "who was very adaptable to circumstances. He
| was an old man. and when tired summing
himself on a log in the laneway, he was accus-
| toned to retire softly to the shade and doze.
He had a class OF 20 or so little boys. to whom
he used to give Bible lessons. generally on Sun
day afternoon. 1t was his practice to give out
on one Sunday the lessons to be prepare6 for
the next. The old fellow was q little blind
and good bit deaf, and this fact induced
the young fellows to put up joke
on him. In the old boys absence they glued
two pages of the Bible together. and on the fol-
lowing Sunday, sat expectant of how their lit
tie game would work. The old tutor put on
his 'rpecs," and giving sympathetic glance
at his class, opened the Bible at the passage
about Noah's Ark, and began to read, He
spelled out the lesson to the end Of the page
''and Noah took with him into the ark one of
every kind" and so on, "and one wife," and
turning over, continued 'she was 142 cubits
long and so wide, built entirely of cyprus wood,
and pitched inside and out"

claimed the old darkey, glancing wonderingly
over the book at his grinning class. He paused
and pondered over the wonderful dimensions
of Noah's wife for many minutes, and then

Mr.. Chapman (3Tich. did not wish to see that

NO SILVER BILL READY YET.
The Republican Committees of the Two
Houses Still Comforting About 1t.

The House republican committee on the sill
yer question held meeting this morning and
heard the report Of the subcommittee appointed
to confer with subcommittee Of the Senate
republican committee, with a view to coming
to some agreement as to the basis for the
passage OF silver bill. The subcom-
mittee reported that it had been agreed that
the bill should provide for the purchase of
100000 ounces of silver every month, the
certificates issued in payment thereof to be
redeemable i'll lawful money. At first, it is
said the members of the full committee were
inclined to accept and adopt this basis an
voted 10 do So Afterward. however. in dis
cusslng the manner Of redeemlng the certif-
Gates sentiment developed Iii favor OF making
them redeemable in bullion. This proposition
was advocated by majority of the committee
and the subcommittee was instructed to again
confer with the Senate subcommittee and en-
deay0r 10 induce them 20 agree TO provide for
the redemption of the certificates in accordance
with the views OF the House committee. A
meeting OF the two subcommttees will be held
this afternoon for that purpose.
VIEWS OF REPUBLICAN SENATOR'S.
A member OF the Senate subcommittee said
i'll conversation upon the subject. when the ac-
ton of the House committee was under
consideration that no such agreement as
mat would be recommended by his vote.
lie said he did not believe there
were five Senators who favored the redemption
OF the certificates in bullion They should be
redeemed. as was agreed yesterday, in lawful
money. That gave to the government the
option of determining with what form of law
ful money 1t would take up the certificates
gold, silver, or legal tender notes-but it must
be lawful money
The Senator said il was expected that at first
the cost of the silver purchased would be less
than four and one-half millions of dollars a
month, but that under the operations OF the
bill the price would be enhanced SO that in
short time the cost of the silver would reach
and probably sarpass that sum. 1T is also ex-
pected. he said, that for time, at least
other silver than the product OF the mines
OF the United States will be necessary to make
up the fun amount of the monthly purchases.
Another Senator said il was rapidly becom-
ing manifest that an agreement must be
reached by the republicans, else proposition
would be made for unlimited free coinage and
would pass both Houses of Congress.
