GOLD LITERATURE.

The enemies of silver have opened a vigorous campaign and are carrying it into Africa, by which i. is meant that all parts of the country including the mining states and territories are being flooded with gold literature, consisting of editorials on the financial situation from New York and Boston papers, and the more private views of metropolitan bankers and merchants.
 The H. B. ClaHin company of New York, has issued under the date of July r, circular letter on the subject, the purpose of which is to aroLse popular sentiment against silver which will be reflected by senators and representa- tives of the various states when the vote is taken on the repeal of the Sher- man law.
 One of these letters was received here yesterday.
 The letter recounts the financial panic through "an acute stage" Of of which New York has passed, and says:
 "Whatever may be the correct statement Of the relation of the silver purchases of the gov ernmsnt to the present trouble, 1t is evident that the majority of all business men of this country now believe that the silver purchasing clause of the sherman act is the most import ant cause of the crisis through which we are passing and this belief will prevent the restora- tion of con adence and the return of ordinary prosperity until 1t becomes certain that such silver purchasing clause will speedily be repealed"
 This can only be regarded as threat, not idle perhaps, but unsupported by good reasoning and showing that those who are withholding the restoration of confidence" are obstinate and hard headed.
 IL will be remembered that during the early days of the first half session of the last congress, the passage of free coinage bill was imminent, in which event the condition of which the majority of the business men" now complain would have been intensified. Yet st that time there was no financial stringency brought about by the exist ing conditions or by apprehension that they would be made worse by Impend- ing silver legislation. The premonitory signs of the present trouble were not made manifest until after the election of Cleveland when the country knew to a certainty that favorable silver legisla- tion had been rendered impossible. So the threat is not based on reasonable grounds.
 The letter continues: "
 "A word as to the future of silver Interns e. tonal bi'metallism seems the only possible method by which silver may be reinstated. The silver purchases of the United States have relieved Europe from the pressure of our silver and have made 1t easy for Europe to obtain our gold"
 We submit that if this is so, the pro. cess has been slow and we must say that great many persons have come to believe that it is really secondary matter whether the gold be in Europe or America, so that we have an

The pneumogastric nerve. as shown here, may be said to be the most important of the entire nerve sys- tenn, as 1t supplies the heart, lungs, stomach, bowels, etc, with the nerve force necessary to keep them active and healthy.

Bound to Say Something.

Among other anecdotes Of university
life Dean Hole tells of an occasion when
there was some doubt as to the locality
of a city mentioned in a Greek text, and
the lecturer addressed a youth who had
just come up from the famous Shrews-
bury school. Now. Mr.. Bentley, you are
a pupil of ourgreat g~eographer, DR.. But
Ter. the Atlas of our age, who carries the
world not on his shoulders, but in his
head. and you can probably enlighten us
as to the position of this ancient town."
81 believe, sir" was the prompt reply.
that modern travellers are of the opin-
ion that the city ought to b placed about
ten miles to the southeast of the spot
it now occupies on our map"
After receiving respectful thanks for
his information, the informer told Dean
Hole as they left the lecture room that
he had never heard of the venerable city
before. but that for the honor of Shrews-
bury and the reputation Of DR.. Butler
he felt himself bound to say something.

MI. Dement'S Cabinet of Minerals.

The largest and richest private cabinet
Of minerals in America is said to be that
of MI. Clarence L. Bement, Of Philadel-
phia. His collection fills nearly q whole
floor of his large house, which is lighted
with special reference to seeing his treas
ures to advantage, and none of the pub
lie museums have specimens of a size,
beauty and perfection to surpass those
that he has been patiently gathering for
the past twenty years or more. The
leading dealers in this country have
standing orders to send him the best of
what comes to them, and they willingly
do SO, for he is prompt and liberal in his
payments. being a gentleman not only Of
of enthusiasm, but of ample fortune.
What he does not take is sent to the
British museum as the second best buy
er. While it is difficult to set a price on
a scientific collection, it is said by those
who should know that Mr.. Dement'S
cabinet is worth at least $125. 000.-New

Interesting Facts About the Growth of the
Delivery System.
The fair of the postoffice employees was
an incentive to resuscitate and revivify
every postal article obtainable that was
quaint. ancient, and antique, even to an
exhibit Of a picture OF the building used
for the first postofficc. In connection
with this might have been mentioned the
fact that it was in 1923. nine years after
the construction of the first fort at tn,
southern end of Manhattan Island. that
the first postofice saw its beginning.
Previous to this. masters of vessels
bringing letters from domestic and for
eign ports brought them on shore and
left them at a coffee house, where the
merchants, the burghers and the loung-
ers met to discuss the topics Of the day.
Here the letters were deposited in a
rack. where they might be obtained by
the persons to whom they were ad-
dressed.
In 1860, when New Amsterdam con-
sisted of struggling groups of n story
houses with peaked roofs and gable ends
fronting the street, and when the city
extended no farther north than Wall
street. there vas the town winding near
the Battery, and the government house
stood in Water street. near Whitehall.
It was in this year that the letter carrier
first appeared-the lounger who carried
the mail to the merchant or burgher. 1t
was not until 1892, however, that the
first city postoffice was established, neal
Bowling green. the postmaster being
Richard Michel.
In ITO the British postmaster general
established the general postoffice in this
city and ordered that all mails coming
by vessels should be sent there. A year
later post routes between New York and
Boston and New York and Albany were
established, and the mails were carried
on horseback twice a month. In 1740 a
similar route was established between
New York and Philadelphia.
In 1853 Benjamin Franklin was ap-
pointed postmaster general of the col
onies. Alexander Golden soon after
ward succeeded Richard Michel as post
master of the city. which Office he held
until the beginning of the Revolution.
when the postoffice was abolished by the
British officials and remained closcd for
seven years.
William Bedlow, after whom Bedlow's
island was named. was the first post
master appointed after the war, and in

WIND WINDS A o C
An Ingenious Continuance OF an Inventor
In Belgium.

An Ingenious Contrivance at an inventor
In Belgium.
The CARR de Nord. Brussels, has been
fitted with a mechanical wonder in the
shape of a clock. which. although con-
stantly exposed to all kinds of weather,
never gets ont OF repair. nor does 1t need
to be wound by the hand of man. 1t Is
aperpetual timekeeper of the most unique
and original design, the cunning weight
being kept in constant motion either
through the influence of g~ravitation, as
when on the descending trip. or by the
winds action on a fan attachment which
causes the weight to rise to a level with
the top of the framework. The winding
attachment is not a windmill of the reg
ulation type. but is IL fan placed in n
common chimney. the paddles being act
ed upon by the natural up cast or
draft"
As soon as this fan has raised the
running weight" to its extreme height,
the cord to which the weight is attached
acts on a wheel which throws a brake
into gear. and the more rounds OF cord
that are added, so much more strongly
does the brake act to prevent the weight
from rising any higher. the checking
tendency being transmitted to the fan
wheel with every revolution.
A simple pawl arrangement prevents
the down draft from exerting any con-
trary influence on the fan wheel. There
is not. as n might suppose on first
thought. any necessity of having a fire
in the stove or fireplace of the chimney
to which this odd clock is attached.
The natural tendency of air is to ascend
through such vents, the draft thus Gre
ated being always sufficient for weight
winding purposes. The clock might be
placed at the top of "a hollow tree with a
bottom opening. or any other cylinder
from fifteen to twenty-five feet in height.
With it's present attachments this
clock runs but twenty-four hours after
the winding fan stops. but by the addi-
ton of another wheel or two. might be
made to runa month or two even though
the up draft were not sufficiently strong
to turn the winding wheel in the mean
time. The inventor is u native of Bel
gium.-St. Louis Republic.

The Worthy Novel.

The novel that is worthy of the name,
and which is calculated to render a
broader service than the ~pecuniary COM
p~ensation of its author, is the one which
takes the problems of life as they present
themselves to US all, and by the example
of the characters portrayed teaches US
the way to their proper solution; that
presents us with types of manly and
womanly character that may inspire the
reader to emulation of their excellences,
and that is withal a natural, helpful,
concrete story of q life of lives. Such a
novel is worth all the literary freaks
that ever have been or ever will be pro-
