What Ia Free Silver?

Jim Townsend thus explains it:
Many an enterprising young debater is
just now asking wha. is meant by the
term Stree silver" Well, FREQ silver,
IS is unedrstooi by those who are ad-
vocating it, means the privilege of
taking silver bullion to the United
States MINIS and having it made into
standard coins FREQ of charge. This
is what is done with gold now. But
under the present silver law the
owner of bullion sells it to the Gov.
ernment at so much per ounce. The
Government pays him for it, aud either
coins it into dollars or issues silve,
certificates that represent its value
This is the present difference in tn.
basis on which gold aud silver coinsg,
stand before the law. The sold.bug,
of Wall street set the price, aud hard
working miners have to submit to b,
robbed.

Rig Waves WIthsut Wind.

Occasionally there appears a great
wave sweeping across the calm sur
face of the ocean in the fairest wealth
err. and when no wind is blowing.
There are few perils of the sea more
to be dreaded than such a wave. For
tunately they are rare, yet o than
once a ship has encountered one.
Only a short time ago the Etrurla
was met by a wave OF this kind,
which rolled upon her like q wall OF
water, and breaking agains; her sides
swept the deck with irresistible force,
killing one sailor and seriously i'll
jurins others.
A smaller and less staunch vessel
might have been overwhelmed and
sent to the bottom by the blow.
The cause Of these singular waves
is believed to be some disturbance of
a volcanic nature at the bottom of
the sea. Volcanoes exist in the ocean
as well as oil land; in fact, nearly all
the volcanoes known are on Or neal
the scacoast. 1t is easy to see that an
upheaval at the sea bottom may start
a billow at the surface Of the water
when we remember that the huge
waves have been sent clear across
the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco by
volcanic shakings of the earth oh the
borders of Asia.
The world under the water, is not
only three times as extensive as that
which il covered by air, but it
posses many of the same great natur-
al phenomena on a scale that is per-
haps proportionatcly vast, bat of
whose existence we arc made aware
only by such indications as the vol
canic ocean waves that ships occas-
encounter. - PHILADELPHIA

A Salt Lake citizen who was "inter-
viewed in the East the other day re-
ports that the "unreconstructed" Nor
% are making their wsy to the
new colonies in Mexico. The leaders
appear TO have bowed to the newt
able and TO DO prepared to respect
and obey the Federal laws, but the
great body of the Mormons still cling
to the tenets of their creed. The
escheat of the Gardo House and some
of the valuable property in Bingham
Young's estate under the law Of 1864
has had the effect of convincing the
Saints that ss lsBg ss they r guilty
of polygamous practices they cannot
hold property in the United States.
Although the Gentiles charge that
polygaIny is not uncommon in the
Territory, the reverse is the case, or
st least it IL next to impossible to
secure evidence in any individual cast.
The Salt Lake citizen believes that
the Mormons will carry the next cleo
ton against the Geniiics. He pays a
tribute to the industry of the Saints
and says they make rigilant and
politicians.

woman I'm Texas De Not Wear Eye.
GLASSES.

~
The women of Texas are slow in
taking up fads. They are not up TO
their sisters of Kansas in any of the
new-fangleI fashions. You can travel
in Texas, the best portions OF it, for q
week. and see q dress or bonnet
or a hat that reminds you of anything
you ever saw in n fashion plate. Some
of the women are well dressed, II
must be admitted, 50 far as the
material is concerned, but there is no
such thing about them as our women
in the North call style. Their gowns
are severely plain. In the North q
woman in crossing q wet street cross
ing deity raises the hem Of her gar
ments from the rear, and thus avoids
the slush. The Texas woman grabs
her skirts by the sides and lifts them
in the way her sreat-grandnlotlier
did. There is another thing about
q Texas woman that is noticeable.
She never wears glasses. 1t is rot
meant. of course, that no woman in
Texas wears glasscs, Int the eIcep-
tions are rare. In the North, wen in
Kansas, which is made up of North
crn people, one cannot travel a mile
without seeing more women with
glasses than these who do not wear
them. The Texas have no
literary look in this respect. Perhaps
il is just as well. a woman with a
sunbonnet OH her head, Or with her
dress held up by the sides. would not
look well in glasses.-ChicGgo Daily

Think of the Present.

Too many of us are looking forward
to happiness in the future instead OF
getting all possible enjoyment out OF
the prcsent-planning to be rich or IA
nous or prospercd in the future in
stead of taking thankfully and enjoy
ing fully the blessings of to-day. But
1t is well to remember that the time
will never come when we shall have
everything we want, just how and
where and when we want it. It is
right, says a philosophic writer in the
Detroit Free Press, to lay up for old
age and to make reasonable provision
for the future, but it is neither right
nor wise in doing this to put off to
some possible future the happiness we
might enjoy to-day-to deny ourselves
proper recreation and comfort now,
that VIC may buy more land or build a
elegant house or lay up money
for children. thinking that when all
this is accomplished we will take COM
fort and be happy-thc hoPcd-for point
may never be reached: or, if it is, sick
ness DR. death may come first and the
dear n with whom we expected to he
happy may be gone forever. Far bet
ter to take thankfully the good things
Of lie IS every day tIcy arc givon-to

1t is said that in the majority OF

embark in business In these days the
man who goes into manufacturing with
inadequate capital is almost sure to
be swampcd by the competition Of the
big concerns. There was I time 2 bis

with a few thousand dollarsfD go into
a manufacturing business, and the
