We gave a sigh of relief when we
rounded the last point of land and saw
our elevated log cabin in the distance
But there was no sign Of help there,
and our hearts failed us. The guides
were either sleeping or out hunting
A groan of despair followed our sigh
of relief. The foremost alligator
leaped toward us and snapped his jaws

In the course of time, however, the
continually rising waters forced Is
from dry land, and we had to construct
a rude platform for our home. This
was built by driving heavy stakes in
the ground, and then putting a log
platform on the top of the stakes. The
water never rose quite up TO the top OF
this platform, but once or twice 1t
reached within several inches of it.
The platform. with our rude sharty

News. in which he treats the subject IN
its relation to Japan and China He
takes the matter of wages in those
countries and shows that notwithstand-
ing the enormous depreciation in the
gold price of silver in Europe, America
and India, there has been no fall or
huctuation of wages in either China or
Japan. He takes as an example and
by way of illustration an actual case

Mexican dollars a month. At that time
the silver was worth in gold f3 90. Now
the silver is worth in gold less than

ant, to keep his masters horse and sup
port a large family. Mr.. Wetmore
found that he was able to do SO now,
quite as well Us in 1876. This illustra-
tive and singular object lesson, taken
at random in q country which contains
one-third o! the population of the earth,
goes far to show that the so-called de-
probation of silver, about which the
gold monometalists Of Europe and
America are crying SO loud, absolutely
has not occurred 1t is not silver that
has deprecated, but it is gold that has
risen in value. In all the vast silver
using countries OF the world an ounce
of silver will buy just as much of the
necessaries or luxurics of life to-day as
twenty years ago. Nay. this is sub
stantially true in America, also, as has
been SO often shown by statistical de-
monstration. Leaving out of consider
alton the recent uneSampled fall of the
gold price of silver, resulting from the
India panic, and from which there has
been a reaction, silver has kept pace
with the prices of commodities in the
United States and Europe.
When the conspiracy of the worlds
creditors in England is overthrown and
silver is restored to its rightful position
as u universal money metal, gold will
deprec:ate as silver rises and their
parity will be restored ut the former
