A Gold Mine On a Roof.


 Three thousand dollars for an old tin roof would be 6 pretty steep price, but the man who gets the battered roof from the old Tabernacle church st Broad street and South Penn square, which is now being torn away, for that sum will be in great luck. Some years ago the paint was scrsPed on the old roof and yielded S5, 900 in fine gold. It is almost certain to yield as much this time. The gold comes from the mint.
 When gold is being coined consider able quantity of it volatilizes with the smoke through the chimney and as soon as it strikes the air it falls. Much of it falls on the roof of the mint, So much of it that the officials save even the water that falls upon it during a shower. All the drains from the roof are connected with large vats from the cellar of the mint. Before the water finally gets to the sewer it is stained through many blankets and sieyes, which retain the gold
 Notwithstanding all these precautions, the gold that is annually washed into the Delaware from the mint is worth thous- ands of dollars. Every particle of dir; | swept up about the mint is carefully stored away with the washings from the roof and once every year it is sold to the high est bidder, as it cannot be used at th' mint.

FOLLY IN THE NEW SOUTH.

FOLLY IN THE NEW SOUTH.
 It is not very encouraging to see that the ignorant and foolish financial ideas of the time find ready acceptance in the South. That part of the country i'll afford to be infected by them, but it is certain that it is. For instance, a bill was passed by the Georgia legislature forbidding attor- ney's fees for collection, which practically shuts out investors from loaning money in the State, because the law makes collection difficult and expensive. The bankers already feel the effects of this suicidal law, and industrial development is handi- capped. In Savannah there have been held several conferences of business men, ardent Democrats who have always con- tributed to their party's campaign funds, to discuss the situation. which is so grave that they are fairly alarmed and freely acknowledge in private conversation that their only hope is in Republican success next year.
 State Senator Milner of Alabama talked to the Jefferson Democracy club at Birm- ingham, Alabama, the other day. He ar gued for more. cheaper and better distrib-
 uted money, and proposed to get it by currency based on government bonds bear ing no interest, at least two dollars in cur l rency being issued for one dollar in bonds. He would apportion s1 ,000, 900 of bonds or
 more if needed for banking in each con. gressional district, so that the currency would be well distributed. He would have
 the currency redeemable by the govern
 ment after thirty years. Thus he would | flood the country with about 0,0O0, COG of irredeemable currency, without any
 backing whatever except the promise of
 the government on thirty years time. | And so forth and so on. The next cleo tion will indicate to what extent the people
 of the West and South have gone astray
 on the money question. It behooves th' ! friends of honest money to be up and do l iDC

General Miles With The Glove. on.

From the Chicago Times
 General Miles is as agile and quick as many younger man, and he's about as handy with his hands as any of em of his size. He's in practice, too, almost in train ing. I see him at the Athenaum gymnas- ium almost every day with the soft gloves on, and he's a pretty hard customer to tackle, should imagine, though I never boxed with him myself. The general usu- ally drops in accompanied by Captain Mar ion P. Maus, one of his aids-de-camp, gets rid of his superfuous raiment, dons the pillows and takes about half an hour of it. Captain Maus is usually the victim. The captain is rather the dude of the headquar- ters staff, wears bang, and all that, and is good looking fellow and good fellow. He can't be over thirty-five, say, but when the general goes at him he has his hands full. don't wonder that the division of the Missouri is well behaved, orderly and obedient body. The general could knock discipline into half his men, taking them one at time. if he so choose. He's the sort of an officer to be in command, he is. He can inspire respect in the good old fash toned way in which the chiefs and leaders first won their positions, when humanity was younger, and bayonet tactics weren't as essential as a knowledge of how to use natures weapons

HOW TEXAS LAW WORKS

HOW A TEXAS LAW WORKS.
 Last winter the legislature of Texas passed bill requiring all the railroads in the State to provide separate accommoda, ton for white and negro passengers. The bill also forbade the roads to allow whites in the "nigger-cars," or negroes in the "white-cars." If railroad company vio- lates this law it must pay fine of from $100 to $1 ,000 for not providing separate coaches, while white man who rides in the negro coach or negro who rides in the coach for white people may be fined from $5 to $25. If negro be a servant the law makes an exception, but white sheriff cannot ride in the coach with his colored prisoner, nor can white and col ored prisoners ride together. This law bothers the railroads, for they must draw a separate coach for negroes on every train, except a freight train, for the law assumes that anybody who rides in a caboose cannot be injured by riding with negroes. The average throughout the State is said to be not over a dozen negroes to train load, so that this extra coach is drawn for handful of passengers; this difficulty is avoided in part by putting 8 partition across the coach, dividing it into two parts for the two races. These partitions do not go to the roof of the coach and often the doors in them are left open, so that the whites are only cut off from the blacks by a nominal line-which is, however, supposed to be sufficient to vindicate the principle. The white passengers are inconvenienced by being overcrowded and cut off from the free range of the train,- it often being the case that the white coach will be so full that standing is uncomfortable, while one or two negroes will have half or a whole coach to themselves.
 The white people of Texas deserve all the inconvenience and trouble this law makes them

 The people of Kansas are more cheerful | than they were last year, and they have
 reason to be. Major Hurst of the Kansas | Live Stock commission says there are | 5000, 900 head of cattle in Kansas, in good condition. They are worth s20 each,
 or S6O, ,000, 900. He says the total corn | crop will not be less than 250, 900, 900 bushels. In the western part of the State | more wheat has been raised and less corn | than formerly-wheat in that section doing
 better than corn. Major Hurst says he | believes that the people of Kansas will sell $100, 900, 900 in their products this year,
 and that many of the farmers will get out of debt.
 When Alaska was bought by the gov ernment many thought that Uncle Sam had been badly taken in. But the more Alaska is examined the more valuable it looks. It is now asserted that the atmos- phere there is healthy, the climate pleas ing, the soil fertile; the fruits there are

 The French peasant is said to be chang ing for the worse. He is losing both his thrift and sobriety. He has taken to drink like the inhabitants of the city slums, and his thirst is for brandy. In the villages the women are pictured as obliged-ike the wives of the workmen in the cities-to hang about the public houses on pay day and fight for money to buy bread. Instead of putting his sous and silver in the long stocking the countryman spends them in the tavern. Formerly he drank only on holidays, now he treats himself and his friends every day in the week. The wives of married peasants soon follow their hus- bands in vice. Strong liquors are cheap; there is no Sunday, or even early closing, and no blue ribbon army in the country.
