GAINESVILLE, TEX, April 18 Several
weeks ago curious discoveries were reported
near Era, in Cook county. Colonel Tally. of
Dallas, representing an English scientific
society, has been there several days prosecut-
ing an investigation. He has just discovered
the remains of giant woman, with large
gold-mounted and ancient-modeled tucking
comb beneath her hair This and the nature
of other discoveries made there several weeks
ago by a party from Illinois led to the in
vestigation by Colonel Tally. He says there is
something in store for theological students and
historians, as well as for the scientific world.
The place of the discovery is known as the
Clear Creek Catacombs.

The Two Barnums Of Connecticut,

Boston Herald.1
1t is rather curious fact that Phineas T.
Barnum was the means of introducing his
namesake, William H. Barnum, in public life
The two men were no relation to each other, we
believe. Phineas T. Barnum was nominated 70
Congress In the Bridgeport district. 1t was
strongly Republican. and his election would
have been natural. But there was some oppo-
sItion to P. T. Barnum as a Snowman. William
H. Barnum, wealthy manufacturer. was
brought out against him by the Democrats,
and there first displayed the election tactics
from which he afterward became famous. He
not only won the election, but revolutionized
the district, which went from the Republican
side over to the Democratic permanently.

A REMARKABLE illustration of the ways
of organs is furnished by the Chicago Herald,
which, after swearing for weeks that Cregier
was the only fit candidate for Mayor, now
asserts that the Republican candidate, who was
elected, was "a better man for the place than
either of his Democratic competitors" The
public shonld be duly grateful to the esteemed
Herald for this testimony of how worthless its
prediction utterances are.

A MUCH-WORN SERMON.
The Dangers of the Ready.Made Illustrated
in Two Pulpits.
Chicago Times. ]

Chicago Times
Two neighboring Yorkshire rectors recently
exchanged pulpits on Sunday morning. Both
clergymen are in the habit of preaching SER
mon from the collection of some noted divine
when the week passes without their writing a
sermon, which is quite often the case. They
defend their action in this respect by alleging,
first, that the sermons so borrowed are
much better than any they could write. and
secondly, that the few peasants in smock
frocks who attend the service never understand
the sermon anyhow, and, in fact. would suspect
their rector of heresy if they did understand
him. On the day in question It happened that
they both decided to use the same sermon from
Blair's collection for the morning exchange,
and on thinking the matter over they also both
concluded that ir wouldn't be worth while to
prepare a sermon for the second service. The
result of all this Of course. was that the same
sermon Of B1air's was preached twice in each
church, though not one in either church dis
covered the fact.

The regularity with which the Eastern
Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church
vote against the admission Of women as dele
gates, and the Western Conferences vote in
favor of it, is one of the peculiar features of
that issue. 1t is calculated to raise the ques-
tion whether the difference in opinion between
the two sections is due to the superior mental
powers of the Western women or the broader
of the Western men.

SEATTLE, WASH, April l3.-A mistake
which cost the British Government a piece of
territory about as large as the State of Rhode
Island, has just come to light. Ensign Edward
Mooe, Jr., of the United States Navy and
connected with the Coast and Geodetic Survey,
is authority for the statement that the iron
monuments at Blaine, Wash, and for many
miles east of there are $50 yards north of the
49th parallel, which should be the proper
boundary.
He says the mistake was discovered three
years ago while he was the coast survey

at Washington. He says the mistake was
probably made in 1852 by surveyors in North

widening out until 1t covers $50 yards at the

lEs speech a. Columbus Yesterday
Governor CAMPBELL called attention to
the decrease Of sos QUO 600 in the value
81 agricultural lands in Ohio In the last
decade. He said this was the assessed
valuation OF the land, but Ia rsal legiti
mate valuation tie decrease would be
$245, 600, 00e. He said Mr. Porter's
census showed there hGd been an increase
in the wealth Of Ohio Of $248, 600, OOO.
Fhe question to ask the farmers wac,
Who has obtained this increase III
wealth. Certsinlyit was not theirs.
Something corresponding TO that is the
situation In all OF the Older
states Everything pertaining t.
agriculture has declined, and decreastt
except the expenses Of the farmers, 9Th,
taxes they pay, and tie farm mortgage:
they have been compelled 10 give. Any
increase in wealth has not gone TO Oh,

TIE silver vAaARlEs.

The friends Of silver do not consider
the difference between per capita cur
rency and pocket cnrren cy. They seem
TO imagine that greater sum per capita
would imply, or insure, a greater sum in
pocket That Is foolish mistake.
We have now the greatest per
capita we everhad, $23. II that
were increased the distribution of
it would remain relatively the
same as now. The milliona'res would have
most of 1t and the poor would have little
or none. 1t might be cheaper money
like the Confederate scrlp-and one DOL
lar might 80 as far only as 90 cents GOES
now, in the purchase Of the necsssaries of
life. That surely would not be any nd
vantage to the wage Garner.
Currency is stable for what 1t repre-
senss Ii apiece Of paper represents 100
cents In gold and only so cents in silver,
there seems to be no question that the
more silver we have abroad the less stable
the value of the paper will be. If both the
silver and the paper are guaranteed by
the government as interchangeable
aud exehengeable with and for
100 cents in gold, then there is
no question and no doubt anywhere. The
stability of both is fixed.
Is $23 per capita enough currency? It is
move than could ever be used heretofore,
aud 1t seems that there is no difficult; y
In getting all the money a man needs If
he has the confidence Of the man who has
II to rent, or the labor, or the produce to
exchange as an equivalent II he has
none OF those, how can a man obtain any
OF the proposed increased per capita no
matter II 1t we're increased TO 800 per
capital The free coinage men and the
friends Of silver may advocate more pei
capita, but what they need to do Is to ia.
vent some cohtrivance that will put thu
increased per capita into the pockets o.
the people who have it not.
That they have not done, They
have told the farmers that som,
Juggling with silver would increase thu
value Of their lands, that is they coul'
sell them for more silver. II the value
Of land and Of silver are changed by leg
islation other values will be correspond
ingly changed too. SO that If the farme
, wished to buy anything he would have
! pay an advance equal to or perhaps eve
> greater than the advanced price Of hi
land
Free coinage will give the man WI
e has the silver more coin, but no
e viii the man who has neither labor {
property to sell obtain it from him Othe
wise than be can obtain it now.

HERE is queer case. Rev. ]. G.
X. Milligan, who for third of century
has been the pastor of the First Re
formed Presby terrain Church in New
York, surprised his congregation last
Sunday by announcing that he would re
sign his charge at the meeting of the
New York Presbytery of the Reformed
Church, before which he has been cited
to appear on October 80 to stand trial for
alleged violation Of the canons Of the
church Dr. MilIigan's heresy consists
in maintaining that member of the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church may
vote as an American citizen
without violating any csnons Of the
church After fierce contest In the
synod at Pittsburg last May 1t was
ordered that no member should vote
until God was recognized in the Consti-
tuition. There are several kinds Of men
but there are not many, fortunately, who
maintain that 1t would be any advantage
TO God or to man TO be recognized
in the Constitution; or that it is any dis
advantage 10 either that the Constitu-
ton does not recognize God 1t is

fierce about or that they cannot find
some other field for their Christian
energy than that Of driving men out OF
