GOLD sURn TO cOmE

In Wall Street the idea OF further
gold exports being made from this
country at this time OF the year is
scofsed ar. and such surprising hap
pening as gold exports at this late
day has not even been dreamed OF.
On the contrary il. is generally be-
iieved in financial circles that gold i'm
ports were about to begin on an Inn
portant scale, and that the 81 ,5OO,-
600 gold now on its way here had
been supplemented by further engage
ments OF gold on the continent for
shipment here.
What with the country's great har-
vests and Europe's general deficiency
bankers had counted all along on
soon receiving big shipments OF the
precious metal from Europe instead
OF being called upon to ship more
abroad.

John MOrrissey's Giratitude,

San Francisco Chronicle "Few people
know" said John K. Hickey, Of Missouri,
yesterday, at the Palace, that John Morri-
sey was man in whom the finer feelings
were very largely developed. He felt
keenly the reproaches which were heaped
upon him because of his having been a
gambler and prize fighter, and he told
me that when he was elected by congress
from New York City he made up his mind
to show to the world that he could rise
above his antecedents. When he took his
seat id the chamber of the house Of repre-
sen4atives he felt that he was looked upon
coldly by his associates on the floor, but
instead of attempting to resent it he main
tanned a discreet silence and paid not the
slightest heed to what was going on about
him. On the second day Of the Session, he
informed me, a tall, stately old gentleman
walked up to his desk, and extending his
hand, asked: lis this Mr.. Morrissey ~
sit is, (" was the response.
''Then l must congratulate you, sir,
upon your election, and am proud to well
come you here"
""That old man, said Morrssey, in a
broken voice, was the famous Thad Ste
yens and that meeting was the proudest
moment of nv life''

New York,s Ranefaetor.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star: When
Mr.. Tilden began to grow old he had in
his bachelors household quiet little girl,
the granddaughter Of his sister. The little
girl was fond of reading and used to read
often rested upon her benignantly. Years
ran by; the astute lawyer carefully planned
a great gift to the public in the form of a
library; and in the fullness of years was
gathered to the majority. His will, like
many others containing grand scheme Of
benevolence, proved to be but piece Of
waste paper. The old mans cherished life
design was about to fail, when the quiet
little girl, now grown to womanhood,
stepped in without demonstration, as
usual, and bestowed $2O0O,O0O of her
share Of the Tilden estate upon the library
as planned. 1t is a noble act, and the
name Of Laura Pelton Hazard deserves to
be memorable. On the walls Of the Tilden
Library there should be painting of the
old lawyer with the quiet little child read
iDp tn him
