The bill was then taken up,
Stewards bill provides, in substance.
that the unit of value shall be q dollar oi
4l2h grains standard silver, or 25.S grains
standard gold; said coins to be legal tender
TOR all debts. Any owner of silver or gold
bullion may deposit the same at any mint
OF the United States to be coined into
standard dollars for his benefit and with
out charge, but it shall be lawful
to od refuse any deposit of less than
800 value, or of base bullion. Section
applicable to the coinage provided for,
The certificates provided for shall be of
denominations of not less than 81 nor mora
than $40, 600. and be redesnable in coin of
standard value. These certificates and all
already issued shall bs receivable for ali
ooAOo AAA OuoD huu legal t0uUef Tor all
debts. Owners of bullion deposited for
coinage have the option to receive coin or
its equivalent in the certificates provided
for. and suoh bullion shall be subsequently
coined.
The debate on the bill was opened bv
Stewart, who was followed by Teller. The
latter contradicted the statement quoted by
sherman, to the effect that il silver went up
to $l.@ per ounce the product Of silver in
this country would be quintupled. "rhere
is no possible excuse for such statement" :"
said he. "Yet the senator from Ohio
gave it the sanction of his author
ity and the United States delegates to the
International bi-metallic conference will
be met with it At the first meeting of The
conference" What the silver men COM
plain ed OF was that the act of 1875. demone-
tlzing silver. had appreciated gold at least
forty per cent, while it reduced tho price
of agricultural products, the value of farms,
houses, and lands, and the va ges Of the
people.

KEEP YOUR HEAD CLEAN.

Keeping the head perfectly clean is
agreataid to health. distinguished
physician who has spent much of his
time at quarantine said that a person
whose head was thoroughly washed
every day rarely ever took contagious
diseases, but when the hair was al
lowed to become dirty and matted it
was hardly possible to escape infec-
ton. Many persons find speedy re-
lief for headache by washing
the head thoroughly in weak soda
water. We have known cases al
most wholly cured in 10 minutes by
this simple remedy. A friend finds it
the greatest relief in case of rose
cold" the cold symptoms entirely
leaving the eyes after the first wash
ing of the hair. The head should be
thoroughly dried afterwards, and
drafts of air should be avoided for a
little while.-FSalem Gazette.

HOW SHE IS ARMED.

"It can't be you've borrowed your

"a razor! Oh, no; does my COM
plexion justify the assumption that
could use that for a weapon ?"
"Well, then, what do you defend
yourself with ?"
"Why, one of these hat-pins," she
replied, as she drew from her jaunty
toque a needle-like article with a
round, solid knob at the end. eff a
man attempted to modest me, and
jabbed that into his arm, don't you
believe he'd halt without much cere-
mony? That would give me time

HE LIVED TOO LONG.

The disadvantages of great age
were illustrated in the case of Joshua
B. Wickham of Ottumwa, Ia, who
died Saturday. He was born 116
years ago, and about II months
since he had to dispense with trousers
and remain thereafter a ~recluse from
society. This remuneration of the
world was forced upon Mr. Wick
ham, for his bones had finally be-
come jointless and his entire body
had grown almost wholly Ossifed.
The aged mans death was a joyful
event to him. People who say that
they would like to live forever, or
100 years even, don't know what
they are talking about.-[Springheld

HE "STHROKED THE PUSSY"

Thomas O'Connell, a carpenter of
New York, took an outing Wednes-
day and went up to Central park to
look at the animals. He has not
been long in this country and is
naturally Of a curious turn of mind.
So when he arrived at the leopard's
cage he was lost in admiration of
that animal, which vas standing by
the bars of his prison, gazing calmly
at the people. "See the purity baste,"
said O'Connell, "Loike the old
woman's cat, only the stripes do be
bigger. Come, pussy, 1 wonder
would he moind av l sthroked his
fur" To think was to act. O'Connell
put his hand through the bars of the
cage and began to pat pussy"
There was a snarl, fash of a striped
paw and a tremendous yell as O'Con-
nell snatched out his arm, torn and
bleeding. He wastaken to a hospital,
had his wound dressed and sent
home, where he is i'll from fright.
The leopard calmly licked a little
human gore from it's paw and seem
ed to feel quite happy.

RICH AND POOR.

None do so little for the very poor
of New York as its very rich. Eff
fcient workers among the poor are
at present generally drawn from the
poor themselves, or from the middle
and professional class. No one need
wonder at this. Effectual charity
work and the requirements of modern
society do not easily cOnsort. A very
small proportion of those who
possess enormous wealth in the city
subscribe literally to it's various
charities; comparatively few can be
counted on for a ready support in
any properly conducted and hopeful
philanthrOpic movement, and fewer
still are found willing to fulfil the
more difficult, the more necessary
duty of gaining personal knowledge
of the needs and wrongs OF the poor
through personal study of their situa-
ton, and friendly intercourse with
themselves.
Isav, such attention, such knOwl-
edge, are not likely to be given by
the very rich. To win fortune today
implies a s~ingleness of purpose, a
concentration of all the faculties OF
the man to the doing of one thing.
The very rich man must be a very
busy man if he would make large
sums of money. The difficulties
presenting themselves to his ambition
are like tough wood, that nothing
but the keen edge of an ak car deal
with, and to be sharp means al
most of necessity to be narrow
Great riches are apt, as n we
reverence taught long ago, to ossify
the soul, and make the attainment
and development Of an ideal or truly
sympathetic life always difficult,
sometimes well-nigh impossible. ]

JAIL-BREAkING EXTRAORDINARY.

An extraordinary escape OF five
prisoners confined at Montpelier
took place in the early hours of this
morning. The versions of the affair
do not quite agree, but both are suffi-
GENTLY dramatic. According to one
account, a prisoner named Saumade,
serving a twenty years term, called
to his cell the warder and strangled
him. Saumade then took the keys
and opened four other cells. The
prisoners then gained the street with
out difficulty. At about six this
morning the absence of the warder
was noted, and his dead body was
soon discovered, as well as the dead
body of an inmate supposed to have
been killed for refusing to join his five
comrades. another version states
that three prisoners occupying the
same cell managed tomake their way
partially out, the door to their imme-
date quarters having carelessly been
left open, but that one of them, after
reaching a certain passage refused to
follow his companions. The latter
%thereupon cut the bed-cords and
strangled their companion. They
then proceeded to the warder's lodge
threw themselves upon him and
strangled him. With the keepers
keys they opened another cell, occu-
pied by a man serving a period OF
eight years hard labor. Two others
in the same cell, it is to be noted, say
that they were completely uncon-
scious of anything having taken
place. The three then descended to
the first floor, opened another cell,
and then all together passed to the
ground floor, scaled two walls, and
gained the high road. The news o
the escape, with full particulars, has,
of course, been telegraphed through.

Home investors are undoubtedly

small, opens the way for something
more. 1t is not too sanguine a view
of the matter to predict that the in

end of this decade will find as much
outside capital invested here as is
sent out of the state by Vermonters,

While the chapel exercises were in prog
