Blind to Her own BlIndne.s.

"Curinus," said an optician recently
To a Tribune reporter, chow sensitive
some people are to the evidence Of ad-
vanclng age given by their eyesight.
With many customers l am actually
obliged 10 resort to deception to suit
their requirements. Last week an
eldery woman came into my store and
INQUIRED for glasses. She said she
knew her present glasses were too
strong, couldn't stand old glasses,
ewes too Young, and all that. l tried
her eyes and found that the real
trouble was the reverse Of her state
ment.
{" Madam I said, your glasses are
too weak"
- SIRE"
Precisely; you need two numbers
stronger"
.,.Young man, you must be insane
she said, getting angry. 1 have only
worn glasses few months, and l wish
the mildest sort. l know it is so, be-
cause the pair you have selected hurt
my eyes dreadfully."
OF course that settled II. Iexplained
that might have been mistaken, exam
med her eyes again aud said L had a
pair Of very mild glasses, not so strong
as her former pair, in fact, but OF eX-
celent make, which l could recon-
mend. 1 produced a pair and she
tried them.
- Are they weaker than you showed
me before?" she asked.
{" Very much, madam
" Weaker than my present ones"
" Somewhat
well, now, you see ! was right,
she said, triumphantly; 4 haven't seen
so well IN weeks These are exactly
right and I'll take them just as they
are
".'Of course we can't put old glasses
on Young eyes, | said pleasantly as
could. and she went out just as well
satisfied as II she knew it all"
"Didn't she?" asked the reporter.
"Well, hardly. had sold a pair OF
glasses to that woman one number
stronger than any she had tried on,
and but for my deception she would
have ruined her eyesight for a bit Of
petty vanity"

Mischievous boys tore out the cross
bar at the end of the electric railway AT
Pinch Run. The bar was used for the
purpose OF keeping the cars from run

creased so that the cars could not be

THOSE INaors OF GOLD.
Observations of the Curious While Meta'
Enters the Subtreasury.

One day recently,S when the expor-
.t,on ~ goId was atSits height and the
no ners OF the land were filed each day
with the recorded flight of eagles
abroad" large two-horse truck drew
uo before the sub-treasurY In wall
street.
Backing up to the curb, a number OF
ordinary laborers began carelessly to un-
load a quantity Of reddish-brown metal
slabs, with which the vehicle was
burdened. Immediately crowd
gathered and watched the progress OF
the metal from the truck up the alley
way which separates the suotreasury
from the United States assay office.
"See those ingots of gold" remarked
a downtown merchant to friend In
passing.
The bullion must he coming our
way." said the other, and the two men
paused with the crowd TO watch the
laborers az their work. Others joined
the throng, and many were the com
mepts regarding the integrity OF the
humble workmen and the prospective
value of the load. IL was considerable,
and one statlstlclan estimated tnd'
there was at least $1,000, 0oOworth Of
metal openly displayed on the street.
sin no other country" said he,
"could such athing be done. In Eng
land and the countries af continental
Europe. a regiment of soldiers would
be ordered out Ito protect so great
value"
The crowd listened to him spellbound
aud invariably thanked God that they
were born in free country and where
there was no show of authoritY-al
except a policeman, who, walking up &c
the throng which by that time mus
have numbered 100, said
Come, now, move along. Don
block the way. Did you never see mer
working beforeP"
The crowd moved away slowly
Those who passed by the front OF the
truck noticed the words painted on The
dashboard. Furnace Supplies" Al
eloouence had been wasted. The met
al was not gold, but substance for
new lining in the furnace OF the ASSAY
office.

A Roy. Rsmarkabls Memory.

Barnwell county, s. c., possesses a
negro boy 10 years OF age, VINO Is look
ed on as the owner Of the most remark
able memory of which the world has
any record. He committed the entire
book of Genesis TO memory the other
day In the space of three hours, re-
peating every chapter after reading 1t
over once, and forgetting only some
half dozen words from the first verse
to the last. Some weeks ago local
politician delivered a speech or nearly
two hours at a county meeting, and on
returning home, the boy was able 10
tell the discourse over with such ac-
curacy that the following day the man
who delivered IL went to see him TO
make a copy Of it from his mouth, hav-
ing himself lost the manuscript on
which il was written. This gift seems
unaccompanied by al unusual degree
OF intelligence, the boy being a day
laborer in the fields, aud he appears
not TO take in the sense Of what the
camera Of his mind preserves, but to
repeat il after the manner Of q parrot.
! His mother says that he has possessed
this faculty since baby, and at the
extraordinary age Of year be could
repeat any conversation that took
place in his presence, irrespective OF
its length and purport, He does not
know how TO read or write, but has
frequently given exhibitions OF being
able to coIrectly copy out any sheet of
writing hdhas read over once, giving
every Iunktuatlon mark and flourish,
and init hing the handwriting with
Startling ccnraey, and this for several
pages q irdinary letter paper.

The Happy Southern Negro
l.. = LIZ. Dn-t


There are several features OF life al
the South, and one Of the most cons pic
nous and significant OF these to which
we now beg to call attention is the prac'
tical impossibiIty Of finding in that sec,
tion any considerable number of colored
people in 3 destitute condition. AS
matter Of simple and notorious fact the
Southern negro is not an object OF char
ity. He does not know what starvation
means. The humblest field hand In Al
ALBANIA lives better, cleaner, more
wholesome and more civilized life than
nine-tenths Of the swarming white un'
fortunates in the crowded slums OF New
York. The Southern negro is not
pauper or public charge. Should he
ever become one, however, the South
ern whites will care for him without
any urging from New York.

THE MONEY QUESTION.
MONEY HAS INTRINSIC VALUE.


CA0rIssioB NslCs and Courier.
True money" has a value OF its own,
and that which plays the part Of money
and yet has no intrinsic value is merely
q representative or substitute for some
value which IL commands, or is asSum-
cd 10 command, and is called money in
a loose way OF speaking for convenience.
A governments note il no more money
than citizens note. The value Of both
depends on the certainty and facility
with which they can DO exchanged for
real money or other values.
Mr. VOORHEES, ERROR.
Wilmington (Dsi) EVsRiRg.
Here lies the fallacy of the Indiana
Senator's position. He has ignored the
test Of the melting pot. 1t is not the
words "ten dollars" on the face OF the
gold eagle that make il pass current for
the equivalent OF that sum In every
mart of the commercial world-it is the
atteStdtiOn OF the government underiy-
ing that inscripSion that here is coin
containing a specified and invariaole
amount Of gold, worth, as metal, what
its face calls for. That is the crucial
test, and il is gold alone that will stand
this test.
SILVER NEEDED FOR "CHANGE.
Bmqbampton Republican.
Silver is needed as a coin metal for
"change." We need subsidiary coins,
and everybody needs to carry few OF
them in his pocket. A workingman al
WAYS likes TO feel two or three big sill
YER dollars in his pocket and he pre-
fers TO give his wife silver TO spend, be-
cause SIS looks like princely allow
ance. But silver coin or
paper note should always be upon a
gold basis. When silver is used 10 ex-
Dress the fractions of dollar 1t should
represent a gold and not a silver dollar.
A silver currency cannot be kept upon
a gold basis II il is inflated out Of pro-
portion to the gold basis upon which it
is issued, as our present silver cur
rency is.
MONEY HAS NO INTRINSIC VALUE.
Vs. " Bachelor IN DsRUsr AGcS.
Neither gold, silver nor paper money
has any value within Itself. In only
represents value. IL represents so much
labor performed either in the shop, on
the farm or in the mines. II has no
intrinsic value, the intrinsic value be-
ing destroyed for the time being the
moment it is stamped as money. Let
Us see: A has $50 gold piece. b has
s 0 treasury note. Both go to the
grocery store aud buy $50 each. Does
A receive $50 in change for the intrln-
sic value there is in the coin? No; be-
cause nothing can have two values at
the same time. You hammer out the
stamp or fat of the government and it
has an intrinsic value Of about SIS, but
no money value. Now, then, il the gov
eminent can legislate 50 into the $50
gold piece, it can legislate $50 into the
treasury note. There never was dol
lar Of legal tender paper money issued
by responsible government that ever
went below par with gold and silver.
