CLAIMED a DISCOUNT.

She Was Sure of the Count Before the
Proposition.
For week she had felt an assurance
that the titled foreigner would ask her
to be his wife, and when she saw him
at her feet in the attitude of supplica-
ton she was enabled to bear herself
with fortitude. She had read that the
women of his country never biushed,
and she was averse to doing that which
in his eyes would be uubecoming. Con-
sequently no sanguinary tint mantled
her checks.
My dear count"
She extended her slender hand as
suringly toward her sutton.
''Pray arise
He did as she babe him. Presently
they might have been seen sitting to-
getber upon lavender divan.
my dear count"
He was noticeably thrilled by her
manner of address.
You have been married before?''
His ardent gaze fell.
Yes he replied, hesitatingly.
MY dear count"
She smiled sweetly.

bride brought dowry of 800, OOO."

Her eyes were turned to his, full of
soulful earnestness.
Il take this occasion to inform you
that you need not expect to get more
than $50, 900 with me-
He started violently.
No, sir" she declared, with a sug-
gestion of vehemence. mo more"

She raised her hand as If to deprecate

After n few moments reflection he
protested that he loved her.

SILVER RESOLUTIONS.
Discrimination and Decentralization and
Other Matters Plainly Denounced.

Discrimination aud Decentralization and
Other Matters PIainIy Denounced.
WASHINGTON, Feb 24.-The resolu-
tions committee of the Bimetallic
league to-day submitted a report which
was adopted. 1t refers to the deloon-
citation of silver in 1878 as 1.-The great
moral and financial crime of the nine
tenth century, prompted by British
interest
Then sin behalf of the wronged peu-
pie and the suffering industries of
the United States" there follows ID
series of demands and denunciations.
Discrimination between silver and
gold as money metals is denounced as
unconstitutional and revolutionary.
Sound public policy opposes conference
with foreigners as to what American
money should be. The attempt to re-
peal the Sherman silver bill is de-
nounced as "a menace to prosperity
and it is declared that there should be
no repeal unless to make way for free
coinage The Sherman bond amend
ment is likewise denounced" A
struggle is at once to be precipitated in
the east and middle states for Gin
dustrial emancipation"

''Htm!' said the Initiated barber, one

''Wel, what of it?'' demanded the

Decrease in the Shipments Of Gold What
Mar. Carlisle MAY $40.
WASHINGTON, Feb a. = Secretary
Charles w. Foster mas received word
from New York that in all proba bility
there will be little or no gold called
from the. treasury for shipment this
week 1t gratifies him greatly. If the
end of the week shows the report to be
true it will enable him to enter upon
the final week of the administration
with about s., 1000, 900 of free gold il the
treasury, enough, he thinks, to last
him. He still insists that he is ready
to issue new bonds if necessary to pro-
tect the reserve, but he believes, for the
first time since the squeeze begun, that
the necessity will not arise.
It is believed, however, that one of
the first acts of Secretary Carlisle will
be to issue bonds, although he is under
stood to be not very certain of his power
to do so under the present law. He
hopes for the passages of the Sherman
8 per cent amendment, which would
settle the question of authority, but it
is very doubtful if his hopes are to be
realized

THERE IS more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable.- For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment t.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Mr. Cleveland
has called for ''show down" on the
silver question. He has demanded to
know whether it will be worth his
while to call congress together next
month for the purpose of repeating the
Sherman silver purchase act The
methods employed to ascertain this in

Queer Phenomena of Falling Bodies.


/ am unable to say who first noticed
the peculiar caprices of stone or other
heavy body dropped from the top of a
high tower, but it is nevertheless a curl
Gus fact that such objects invariably fall
slightly to the east of the perpendicular
line. Persons of inquiring turn of mind
who ask why this is as it is may find an
answer in the following: All falling bod
les partake of the earth's eastward mo-
ton to greater or lesser extent. There
fore during the time occupied by stone
in falling from the top of hig Oh tower
or other eminence the earth's rotary mo-
ton has carried it an appreciable dis
lance to the east. The initial impetus
of the stone has carried it to the east
ward also, therefore it strikes the earth
to the east of the perpendicular, vary
ing in degree according to the height
from which it has fallen. e..
A curious article on this subject may
be found in the Leipsic Zeitung of May
9, 1889, page 3. The author of the ar
ticle, who has given it the title of 1.-THE
Nonperpendicularity of High Towers, y
