could at any time, by any possibility,
be worth any less than a dollar for
every such certain and fixed quantity.
The economic law governing the case
is this: When any metal is accorded
the privilege of unlimited and unre-
stricted coinage, the total product of
such metal will take to itself its coin
age value and none of it can be obtained
for use in the arts for less than the
monetary value given to it by coinage
laws, the commercial value being
merged into the monetary value.
That is exactly the position occupied
by gold to-day, and it is just the posi-
ton occupied by silver up TO the time
the crime of 1879 was perpetrated.
And with this value, thus artifcially
and arbitrarily impaired by fat of law,
they proceed to measure the value of
all other commodities.
The consequence is that. with a rap
idly increasing population and con-
stantly decreasing output of gold, the
gold unit or dollar, steadily increases
in purchasing power, which causes the
phenomena popularity known as fall
ing prices" The reason is plain. The
true money standard is quantitive and
not of value. The per capita volume Of
money of final redemption" constantly
gets smaller as the output of gold falls
behind in its effort to keep pace with
the increase in population.
The law governing the case is this:
An increase in the per capita volume of
money, units of value, or money of
final redemption. (the volume of ex-
changeable products remaining the
same) decreases the purchasing power
of each unit; a decrease in such per
capita volume of units of value" in
creases the purchasing power of each
unit.
We shall never be able to arrive at a
just and honest dollars worth. until
we either discard entirely the cxpens-
i've luxury of metalliSm and inaugurate
4 rational and scientific money system
under which all money shall be abso-
lutte and fiat, and simply represent the
ideal, imaginary unit Of account, with
its several fractions and multiples,
which is susceptible of indefinite dupli-
cations and multiplications; or else
throw overheard the pernicious falla-
cies of specie basis" and specie re-
demption, and supplement our metallic
money with sufficient Volume of full
legal tender, absolute paper money,
which shall be. not a promise to PAY
metal, but promise to rece.cs for all
debts and dues, public and private

Iau'S Thorn.
y

How many have tried to guess
what Paufs thorn in the flesh was ?
1t was probably Of not much account
III the eyes Of the world. We all
have a thorn sticking in Us. One
finds it troubles him in one way, and
another in a different way but each
is. the nor nettlesome because, like
Pauls thorn, it is not to be mention
ed. But we must have these annoy
lug thorns. 1t seems to take a GER
tain number of them to keep us hum
bic, waketul and prayerful. Now
we want what Paul got-grace to
bear these things. Without it we
become cross, censorious, aud irasci-
Bile. We get into the habit of stick
ing our thorns into other peoples
fingers. But, God helping u.s., we
place these annoyances in the cate
CORY of all the things that work to-
ge,her tor good" We see how much
shorter tborns are than the spikes
that stuck through the palms OF
'o udiuS, dHu
that he had on his head a whole
crown OF thorrs, we take to ourselves
the consolation that it we suffer with
him on earth we shall be gloriiied
with him in his kingdom.
Blu, how could Paul positively re
joice inthese infirmities? The school
of Christ has three classes of schol-
ara ; in the first class we learn how
TO be stuck with thorns without los
ing our patience in the second class
We learn how to make the sting pos
'lively advantageous; in the third
class Of this school we learnahow to
even rejoice in being pierced and
wounded !; but that is the senior
class, aud when we get to that we
arc near graduation into glory.

Lower Life of tic Ocean.

Below half mile in depth the water of the ocean is intensely cold, remain ing both winter and summer at point only slightly above freezing. The con tents of a trawl hauled up from the floor of the sea at the equator will be found to include mud and ooze that is nearly freezing. All of the life in the vast waste of waters called the Pacific is either near the surface or at the bottom. The abyssal fishes cannot live except under the enormous pres sure of water-amounting to over two tons to the square inch at three miles down-to which they may be able to endure this, the tissues of their bodies and even their bones are very loose in texture. Though solid enough un- der the conditions to which they are accustomed, they are soft and pulpy when dragged up to the open air. Their eyes protrude and sometimes they actually burst open.

LONELINESS OF THE PACIFIC.
Four Thousand Mile Trips May Be Made
 Without Seeing q San.

Four Thousand Mile Trips May Be Made
 Without Seeing Sail.
 ''I notice an item in the press stating that the City of Peking in her recent trip sailed twelve hundred and forty miles without meeting a single sail, and this fact is cited as showing the loneliness of the Pacific ocean, says a writer in the Washington Star. Tn the summer of 1850 I left San Francis co on sail vessel formerly from Bal timore) for Panama. distant four thou sand miles, and on the entire route, which lasted forty-three days, we never saw Q sail! Loneliness is no word for it, especially when we lay becalmed in the tropics, with our vessel floating as helplesSly about as chip on a mill pond, the ground swells keeping up the monotonous roll of the vessel from side to side all day and night and day after day, each roll being accompanied by flap of the sails and a creal1ing of the rigging that might have passed for the flap of the wings and the vail of lost spirits. When we read about Noah and his ark we arc apt to think that he must have had rather lonely time, but then he was out only forty days, and besides with all the animals. etc, on board, he had plenty to occupy his time and attention, and if he wanted amusement to while away the time he had only to start a sparriHg match be- tween the monkeys and parrots. True, there is no report of any such proceed ing on his part, but that is doubtless because there was no modern news paper reporter on board. tell you, man can't realize what loneliness is until he has made some such trip, and if he wants to complete his educa ton in that line he should preface it with tramp of two thousand miles over the mountains and acr oss the deserts amid wolves and wild Indians, as thousands of '49-erS did"

4 Oueer African Race.

The Mandirgoes, who inhabit a tract of country in Africa, are strict Mohammedans in religion, but, curious ly enough, they still retain many of the superstitions of the negro race from which they sprung. Consequent ly their marriage ceremony is a mixture of the two, and although it is performed by a marabout, or holy man in the mosque, it contains one very ridiculous element. Next in impor- tance to the marabout is the bride groom's sister, and when the marriage ceremony reaches the point where the visible bond, usually typified in civil ization by the ring, appears, this sister steps forward and in place of the ring presents the lady with pair of trousers, which are immediately donned. The ceremony is concluded by a very mournfud song sung by the companions of the bride, who then conduct her again to the home of her parents, as owing to the extreme prob ability of one or the other retracting at any moment by reason of an un- favorable omen no house is built until the ceremony is completed. Polygamy is the rule, but each wife has her own house to keep her from quarreling with the other wives. They are the most tyrannical wives in Africa, and, hating each other, band together against their husband and rule him with rod of iron.

 ''Ever eat any grasshoppers?" asked John Mills at the Pacific hotel in Po- mona the other day, while conversing with reporter of the Progress. "You never did? Then you don't know what luxury is. Talk about your fricassed frogs, pate de foie gras and all the rest O your hifalutin' French fXin's! They just ain't in it at all with big, fat Kansas hopper, done brown in fresh country butter. 1 was once travelling from St. Joe to Wichita when the hop pers swooped down on Kansas like horde of hungry oficeseel1ers on a pres ident-elect. When they finished feed ing and hoped upon the barbed wire face to pick their teeth and talk it over the country looked liked the burned district in Chicago after the big fire. I had a new green wagon, with red wheels, and the hoppers ate every bit of paint off it and gnawed the wood work. They ate all the blacking off my harness, the tails off my horses and I had to keep my dog under tarpaulin to prevent them de- vouring him raw. You never saw such appetites. They got into my commis- sary department and made away with everything but stone jar of butter I had bought in St. Joe. didn't have a cent and it was two days drive to Wichita. Couldn't live on butter, you know, so I concluded to play for even. I built fire, put my skillet over it and dropped in a half pound of the dys- pepsia provolzer. It was soon frying and sizzling away at great rate and the hoppers were dropping into it sixty a second. let 'em fry about minute, then I removed 'em and sat down to give my stomach a surprise party. We'll, sir, the hind legs were the finest meat ever ate. They had an excel lent game flavor and tasted like noun tain brook trout. 1 fared sumptuously after that and found the journey far too short. I had always been sorry for St. John, whose diet was locusts and wild honey, but tell you he knew his business. If locust is anything like Kansas hopper the original pathfinder had no kick coming.
