which caused So much gossip, four or
five years ago, at the wedding Of Antonin
Icroux the bankers son, and Madenoi.

LeIoux had formerly been associated
with IA Italian count named Calcatron.
who Was often numbered among the
bankers guests He is seen there no
iEorc, however.
There were rumors afoat casting
doubt Oh the solyency of the bank, and
many persons predicted that the mar
raye would never take place, yet it did,
and the presents We're magnificent.
Among tue guests was an old friend Of
the family, the learned Desroches, libra
rian Of the Garde Meuble, man whose
position obliged him to cultivate two
very different qualities; it was neces-
sarv fol him to be at the sane time the
most courteous, and tle most suspicious
of men, to treat every reader in the
library rs Il brother in science, an es-
tecmed friend, but man who must be
closely Watched, and whose pockets must
be probed with y glance.

according to despicab!c custom which
forces every guest to contribute with n

While several gentlemen were talk
ing at the Markham Yesterday one
of them asked concerning the mean,
ing OF the term "free coinage as is so
often heard nowadays. An expe-
rienced mining man explained as
follows: Free coinage means that
the government should coin silver as
it does gold, free OF charge. There
are now four coinage mints in the
United States. They are located at
San Francisco, New Orleans, Carson
City and Philadelphia. Amy man
who will take gold to any one of those
mints may receive the gold in the
shape of coin. Silver is not recog'
nized on the same basis and this il
what the silver men demand.
"There are facts can learn when
| look at $50 gold piece continued
the gentleman, "and those are the
mint where the coin was turned on
and the initials of the man who made
the die. If you don't know where t.
look for the marks it is a hopeless
task, but the person who penetrate
the secret must have new coin and

Animals PremoniliOn of Death,

Mr.. L. II Craig writes, affirming
thut animals often have premonitions
OF death, In rroof OF this assertion
he offers certain anecdotes. Here is
one of them: "Years ago." he says,
Il was staying at a farmhouse where
it was the custom every evening to
drive small herd of cows from the
pasture tc a lot near the barn. 1t
was decided one day to kill one of the
number, yearling, whose mother
also belonged to the herd. The calf
was accordingly left in the loft, while
the rest were driven to the pasture.
No sooner had the butcher slain his
victim than there could be distinctly
heard from the pasture half a mile
away, the mournful lowing OF the
mother, the other cows occasionally
joining in what could be described
only as wall. The circumstance
interested me very much and | walk
ed over to the pasture. Through
thirty years that pathetic picture Of
maternal grief has remained with me.
1t seemed to me that there was the
actual sobbing of bursting heart
and to my childish eyes there were
tears moistening the face OF the poor
gentle, sorrowful creature before me.

The most Travelled corpse in thu

MILLIONAIRES AND THE PEOPLE.

The writer of the financial column
IN the New York Sun sees no dan.
ger to the republic in the growth Of
great fortunes.
There it nothing in the situation,
says this writer, to cause any anx>
iety on the part of the people, but
there is much that is calculated to
worry our rich men. v e have over
estimated the evils Of corruption and
bribery in public affairs, so far as
our wealthy men are concerned. The
| truth is, our millionaires take very
little interest in politics, and herein
lies the weakness of their position. In
the old Italian republics it was differ
emf. The rich men were rulers Of
the state. They directed politics as
well as commerce. In ancient Rome
the milIionaires who bribed their wav
into power did not make much by it.
Crassus bought the proconsulship of
Syria, but he was ruined because he
lacked the ability to administer it.
Didius Juliauus purchased from the
preatorian guards the post of EN-.
peror, but in sixty-six days he was
defeated aud beheaded by Severus.
1t is true that the wealthy English
arlstocrats rule Great Britain, but it
Is their craftsmanship, and not their
money, that does it. On the other
hand the rich French mobiles, having !,
given themseivesiup to idle lives have
no political influence.
The Suns financial editor thinks
that if our American millionaires ever
become dangerous in politics, they
Will have to exhibit more talent in
that line than they have heretofore
shown. II is significant, too, that
the owners of great fortunes have as
much as they can do in defending
themselves. The hostility exhibited
by certain legislatures against rails
road companies and trusts, the clam.
Or for an income tax, and the demand
II the people for a reform in our fl
lanclal system, make it apparent that
N future men will ind it harder to
keep their wealth than to get il.
Then, it must be recollected that ,
Heath and division by inheritance ,
Will constantly cut kown great for

nent to the masses. Even ii they
avish their incomes ON fine houses, 8
and'works of art, they will .

circulation.
This hopeful view is in the main
correct, but there will be occasions
when combinations of wealthy men
will be dangerous to the business in
terests of the country, and these eom-
will make themselves felt in
politics. The fact that these evils
are exceptional is no reason why they
should not be guarded against. We do
