Mr.. Cameron on silver.
Chicago News.

Senator Cameron. by the testimony Of Dol.
COLLEAGUE Mr. Vest. makes no secret Of the
/ fact mat Doe spgculated in silver at about
the time the free-coinage bin was passed.
The gentleman from Pennsylvania, ia his
capacity uf senator. considers free silver
beneficial 90 the country, and votes for 10.
Mr.. Cameron. ln hl- capacity II citizen and
business man, is OF opinion that silver bull
lion /, likely 90 go zap, and he buys 10. Each
action Is distinct aad neither has any refer
euce 90 the other.
That, from Mr.. vests statement. seems 10
be the PennsylNanlan's position. and he re-
CARDS 10 as above rcpr0ach. However. there
j. popular sentiment against such things
LIN entirely foolish sentiment TO the effect
that when senators allow their speculative
and legislative functions % get so very near
together the legislative faculty is likely TO
become more or less affected and rotten.
Inc purchase u the silver, il seems, was
made just after the vote in the senate, and
while the silver legislation would be still
subject 20 his vote after the conference IT,

interested in the legislatson in ordsr TO. As
IL were. fortify himself against any talla-
ci0us arguments the opposition might make.
Mr.. CamerOn's own testimony about il
will be awaited with much interest.

"a SHARK, sEABURY! A sHARKp'

Swim for Your Life" Was the Cry, and
the Swimmer Was Saved.
The surf ran high on Rockaway Beach,
and the sea looked cold and uninviting; but
Mr.. Charles Seabury of East New York,
who bad induced half dozen friends TO ac-
company him to the beach, donned bath
ing suit and entered the water alone.
He was strong swimmer, aud he was
soon beyond the surf, breasting the
smoother waves in deep water. His frien DIS
stood under their umbrellas aud watched
him with Jealous admiration.
Suddenly a cry of terror came from Mr..
Seabury. His friends were Mortified to see
close behind him, dark. glisten ing object
With one impulse they shouted: "a shark

But Mr. Seabury had thoroug hly realized
his danger and was swimming so fast that
he left his raven0uS pursuer rapidly astern
But his tremendous eXertions were telling
upon him. As his feet touched the sand he
sank in complete collapse. The undertow
caught him Mt once. and in another moment
reach of the shark, but his friends, regard
less If their holiday attire, rushed into the
surf and dragged him out.
"God be praised" he said, "that, /
am a strong, fast swimmer The shark
touched me before | saw him."
1hey watched the monster tnat nad so
nearly made meal of the swift and pow
erful swimmer, and saw with establishment
that it was close to the beach. In few
minutes more the waves cast upon the shore
the body of a big dead porpoise that had
bobbed against Mr.. Seahury.
On board the boat that brought the party
home were six very wet and cold men, and
one dry one. Tie dry man was Mr.. Sea-
bury. When any of his companions wanted
something to warm and revive him, he had
only 10 whispers:

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 2l.-Oakland and the
home team played one of the finest games Of
the season to-day before a large attendance.
Each side scored but one run in the first
seven innings, although men were on bases
in nearly every inning. Eut one hit was
made off Balsz in that time, and but three
off Hoffman. The home team made three
lightning double plays, that between Has
samer, Spies and McGuirk being especially
noteworthy. Hank ReltZ, the old-tlme Sac
ramento favorite, played second base for
tile home team, his release having been
purchased by Manager McCloskey. Hank
played one of his old-time games making
TWO stops Of sure base hits. While at bat he
raped out a double and a home run. Fred
Roberts made phenomenal one-handed
catch of a hard hit. Sleer was at bat,
and drove the ball in line about twenty
feet to the left of Robbie. Robbie
started after the ball. but the wind
caught it and drove it from him, but Fred
just managed to reach 1t with one hand and
gathered 1t in. 1t was a great catch and

the game was won and was hit Tor three sin

the former resumed his position at short.
In the third inning Power hit safely and

Goodennugh was lit by pitched bail, took

scored on wild pitch. No more runs were
made until the eighth, when five bases on

the last half Speer hit safe, got second on

Sculptor.

NJ Godebski, the distinguished French
sculptor, was requested not long ago by
Harlow n. Higinbotham of Chicago to

the matter and the results have been sent
to Chicago, together with detailed descrp-
tion as follows:
The monument will be placed on quad
rangular terrace, at each angle of which will
be a lamp with torches, an anchor aud a
chain, the links of which are symbolical of
Columbus days Of captivity. Four long
steps will be placed at either side, and the
monument will consist of pedestal orna-
mented on its principal front with tablet
in the shape of modillion and destined for
an inscription. The other fronts will con-
tain each a bas-relief representing IT, fol-
lowing subjects:
