A "Reminiscences of Fanny Kemble.

The late Fanny Kemble is remembered
by old residents of Germantown aud
Philadelphia as superb horsewoman.
She had fiery temper. which matched
that of her husband, Pierce Butler, and
speedily brought about what Is still one of
the most noted of divorce trials reported
in the law books. In her youth she was
remarkably beautiful. aud In the role of
Juliet, she, was the personniflcation of daz-
zing ioveliness. She was noted for the
keenness of her wit even in the davs of her
old age. Once, when an impertinept
street lounger stepped up to her while
she was looking in the window of bric-
a-brac store and said, "Are you fond OF
antiquities?" Mrs. Kemble quickly un-
pinned her veil. and turning on the man
her aged face (she was then seventy-three)
asked, "Are you?" One Of Mrs. Kemble's
daughters is Mrs. Wistar of German

of fairness and good will, allow the
Catholic children 10 be assembled during
free time and taught the Catechism, IL
would also be of the greatest advantage
if this plan were not confined to primary
schools. but were extended likewise to
the high schools and colleges in the form
of free lecture"
The second and third propositions refer
to Catechism classes outside the public
schools and the teaching of the young.
1t is on this firss proposition that these
priests evidently base their endorsement
of their movement by Mgr SaLolli.

Benjamin f. Lewis. Lewis said he lived

orderly house, and charged the Others

The dispatches from New York
yesterday stated that "the opening
of the stock market was in sympathy
with the weakness in London. "
When the London newspapers Of
October Goth come to hand we will
probably find that their commercial
columns state that there was weak
ness in American railways, etc, re
sponsive to the weakness in the
New York market. If the men who
fix up the stock reports IN New York
wish to make the people believe that
the prices of American securities are
governed by the operations of the
London stock market they will have
to arrange with the London news
papers to suppress the truth.

G0LDBUG DELU SI0NS.

The goldbug papers of Nevada are
assiduously endeo.voring to create
the impression that persistent advo-
cacy of free coinage is detrimental to
the State. They seem To be imbued
with the delusive idea that illusions
to the quantity of wheat and alfalfa
an acre of Nevada sell IS capable of
producing will advance the price of
hops or grain, while all attempt is be-
ing made TO demonetize one>half the
money of the country. They are
abusive rather than argumentative,
In their comments on the action of
those in and out of Congress who in
sist that not only the welfare of the
State, but of the Nation depends
upon the free coinage of silver.
Drawing their inspiration from Wall
street, they imagine the people are
simple enough 10 believe that sus-
pending the coinage of silver and
placing the country on Il gold stand
ard, when it is known that there is
not gold enough in the United States
to pay the interest, much less the
principal, of public and private
debts, will advance the price of APP
pies and potatoes III Nevada, though
history shows that financial depres-
sion and business stagnation has
been the universal result Of contract
ion of the currency.
Writers for the goldbug press in
Nevada seem to be affected by what
might be termed Wall street hypno-
tism. If it was possible to divert
their gaze from the golden idol which
has sc fascinated them, it might
break the spell which deludes them
and enable them to take a common
sense view of the situation, Then
they would commend, rather thah
condemn, the actions of the silver
men. They might be able to see,
and, possibly understand that the
demonstration of silver would do
more than anything else to develop
all the resources of Nevada. 1t
would, at least, quadruple the pop
ulation of the State in IA year or TWO
and furnish home market for more
grain, hay, potatoes and apples than
are today produced in the State. 1t
would create demand for land in
the valleys as well as for mines in
the mountains, give employment to
thousands, benefit the farmer, the
merchant, the artisan and the labor
er and give an impetus to every in
dustry. Capital would be attracted
to the State as it was before the de
monetization of silver; more rail
roads would be built, more lands re
claimed from the desert and an era
of prosperity inuagurated such as
the present generation cannot reas-
onably hope to see if gold Is made
the sole and exclusive standard OF
value.
The hallucinators, who from mis-
taken impressions caused by looking
at things through single standard
spectacles, fancy that the adherents
of silver are not battling for the ad-
yancement of every interest in the
State, deceive only themselves and
prove that they are troubled with
mental obliquity.-Journal.
