learned by New York business men,
whose trade has been seriously Grip
pied through lack Vi currency-that
to further contract the currency by
repeating the Sherman law would
still further injure their business. 1t
is an object lesson taught by expert
ence.
A leading silver man, who is to
speak in the house in a few days, said
last night that an overwhelming re-
yulsion in feeling is setting in
throughout the East. and he thought
that before the present discussion in
the house was concluded there would
20 up such a loud cry for bimetallism
that a free coinage bill Of some kind
would be passed, and that President
Cleveland would be forced to sign it.
The gold men in Was hington first
took alarm when they learned that
just at the time the president was
sending his message to congress three
big New York bankers were reading
as many cable messages from London
bankers, one being from the Roths-
childs, setting forth most explicitly
the proposition that in case the Unit
ed States treasury would continue to
purchase silver, ether by tne manner
commanded by theeo-called Sherman
law or in some otlitr way, by which
the governmental market for silver
bullion could be secured, then there
would be no doubs that by an agree
ment or understanding as q conse-
quence of favorable action by the
present congress tue British govern
ment would see to it that the mints
of India were reopened to free coinage
at ratio OF about "a to |.
The contents OF these dispatched
became noised about Washington and
the silver men asked themselves:
" Have the gold men in England over
shot the mark in dealing with India?
Have they begun TO realize that they
are TO be hoist b. their own petard?"
1t became known further that not
only had the president been appraised
of these dispatches, but he had been
made acquainted with the nature of
the answer returned to London by
the New York bankers, which was as
follows.
When Great Britain is ready to
make a proposition looking to an in
ternational agreement for the purpose
of employing silver as money metal
at fixed and internationally agreed
ratio with gold, the United States will
most gladly and speedily listen to
the proposition, and take such action
upon it as may seem to be best.
The president, it is claimed might
have communicated his knowledge of
this to congress, but he did not do so,
and that is unfavorably commented
on by those congressman who want
all the light they can get, so they
may act intelligently. Some of these
men, who are committed to neither
side, but take the middle course, and
there are many OF them, 60 as far as
to say that congress ought to adjourn
and a monetary conference be held
at once. Silver men generally be-
lieve that England is weakening, that
their principles are about to be vim
dicated by the whole world, and that
it is now time to act.

An Indian Compact of Peace,

The final peacemaking between
the Sioux and the Chippewa Indians
was accomplished at Mannah,
Meeker Co., OH December IL, 1857,
and the agreement was as follows:
"The Leech Lake chief, Ne-Pa-
Guam, gave the pipe of peace to
the Sioux chief, He-Yung-Ma-Ne,
who gave the pipe back to Ne-Pa
Guam.
agreed that if any Indian of
the Leech Lake band killed any
Sioux, the head warrior Of the

be hung with the cord attached to
the pipe, and the same agreement
in return on the part of the Souix." "

been legal, but it "went" Just the

A Mysterious Affair.

The curtains were not tightly
drawn and it was with no great diff
fculty that the crowd collected out
side was enabled to perceive the
family group in the front parlor.
The husband and father was OBJ
served standing OH the table and
gesticulating wildly. The wife and
mother might be seen dancing with
a marked degree of abandon OH the
sofa. The baby reclined in a big
chair and blinked alphabetically.
"Such people amt fit to have the
care of child" authoritatively de-
clared lady with glasses who stood
very near the house and could see
plainly.
"lt's shamer' Indignantly insist
ed stout woman with an armful
Of groceries.
The husband and father suddenly
seized chair and waved it frantic
ally above his head.
"Ohr'
The lady with glasses shuddered
The woman with the groceries
averted her face, as if to save her
self the shock of witnessing re-
voting tragedy.
1.-THE child ought to be rescued"
The wife and mother upon this
instant laid Violent hands upon a
feather duster, and leaping in the
air, shook it ostantatiously.
This must be stopped, They're
intoxicated and are going to kill
that young one."
The lady with glasses was adj
dressing the crowd. The stout wom-
an had just time to express firm
belief that the people inside were
crazy, when some determined men
stepped forward and knocked at the
door. The husband and father re-
sponded to the summons.
1--WE must insist that you cease
your murderOus demonstrations to-
wards yonder child"
The husband and father stood
speechless and aghast.
ave have seen enough to con-
vince us that you either intend to
kill the babe or scare it out Of it's
wits. In either event, we demand
that you stop at once or surrender
the little one."
"But gentleman--"
The husband and father was get
ting agitated.
Nothing was further from our
minds than murder or injury Of any
sort"
The three determined men looked
skeptical.
"What then were you doingp"
ave were seeing if we could teach
the baby to keep still long enough
do get his picture taken"
Whereat the stout woman and
the lady with glasses, who had been
looking over the shoulders of the
determined men, suddenly recalled
their dear ones at home and depart
ed swiftly into the darkness.

TWILIGHT.
Sing, sweet, Il is the twilight hour
Thy voice brings rest and peace,
And unto thee is given the power
To bid all discord cease.
Let day fade with its load Of sorrows,
Now Is enough for me;
care not for the coming morrows,
For they may Danish thee.
Oh that this eve could last forever,
Ambitions sun be set,
For with thee near my heart would never
The busy world regret.
Only count us as Loves Immortals.
Let each one be in soul
Bid Night halt at the western portals,
And Death collect no toll.
Then twilight would be fraught with splendor
Bathed in Faiths golden stream
And each TO each all love would render
Sing, sweet. and let me dream.

A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Fooled.

The following graphic statement will be
read with intense Interest: IL cannot describe
the numb, creepy sensation that existed In my
arms, hands and legs Ihad to rub and beat
those parts until they were sore, to overcome
in measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession of them. In addition, i had q
strange weakness In my back and around my
waist, together with an indescribable gone
feeling In my stomach. Physicians said IL
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there Is no
relief. Once IL fastens upon a person, they
say, IL continues its insidlous progress until
II reaches u vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect / had been doctoring
u year and a half steadily, but with no par
ticular benefit, when saw an advertisements
