An Ancient Family.

Several years ago there was an old family
in Pennsylvania named Roth, says the Bos-
ton Budget. Indeed the long line of Roths
was about all the family had to show by way
OF distinction, and so much did they make of
the long branches of the family tree and the
Niagara Of blue blood that had in centuries
past courSed through their veins that people
of the more recent generations really began
to think these Roths were of some account.
One evening there happened to be party in
the little town of NJ, and besides the great
Roth family the guests numbered among
others young DR.. Sharp He was a popular
and rising physician and considered by
matchmaking mammas particularly desi-
rable catch.
Mrs. Roth had four marriageable daughters,
so at the first favorable opportunity she cor
nered the young doctor and sought to impress
upon him the importance Of her wonderful
family.
Why, doctor" she said, I'VE all came over
In the MayfiOwer, so l know you will not think
me bold in asserting that the Roths are really
one OF the first families
Pardon me-" replied the young physician.
but have no hesitation in saying that your
family enjoys even a greater distinction"
20, doctor" gushed the old lady, giving
herself congratulatory hug on her coming
triumph, Indeed, you f1atter me"
Not at all, he replied, for know you are
the first family"
Who told you that dear doctor?'

says the Lord was Roth. -

Full INSTRUCTIONS.

The late William j. Gibbons, of Whining
ton, Del, was known in his day for a number
of things, and not the least Of these was his
grea@fondness for joke, says writer in
Harpers Magazine. He was president OF
company having considerable trade with the
Amazon and other South American rivers
Part of their work was the building of boats
for these rivers, called in the language OF the
shop knock downs" that is boats set up in
the yard OF the company and bolted together
In shape, and then taken down, packed aboard
sailing vessels, and shipped to their destina
ton, where they were put together finally
and for good. On one occasion this op-
GRAFTON was performed according TO pro
gramme. and the captain of the schooner that
was to take the boat was about receiving his
final orders. Among these was an order not
on the regular programme, to stop at a GER
tain wharf near the mouth of the Christiana
creek and take aboard about two tons of
dynamite. The captain was a little disturbed
when he learned the nature OF his diversion
and said:
Well don't know Mr.. Gibbons, about
the Internal stuff. What will we do if it should
go off?"
Quick as thought came the answer
Present my regards to Saint Peter,
please"

Indians at a Phonogranh.

Wtnd-in-the-Face, chief of band of Flat
head Indians, camped near Missoula, Mont,
wandered into a store recently and in his in
spectiOn OF the stock came across a phono-
graph, which stands in one corner of the
room. He examined the machine very curl
ously and by signs and grunts inquired its
use. After considerable persuasion he was
induced by an Anaconda Standard man to
sing into the receiver the war chant OF HIS
tribe. He began with q low, monotonous
"Hl-ya-he-ya, no, but warmed to his work al
he proceeded and got in some fancy move
ments as he neared the end, which threat
ened to diSlOcate the machine. After he had
concluded the attachments were changed and
race and his attendant braves could hear
the reproduction of the song. Gravely and
somewhat susptciously they inserted
the tubes in their ears and waited
the result. AS the sounds of the chant that
for ages had melted their forefathes to battle
reached their ears they were at first thor
oughly alarmed and muttered something
about bad medicine" but as the emphatic
tones of their chief coming from the little
came enthused and kept time to the alleged
music with feet and bodies until it seemed as
II war dance was to be executed then and
there. But they didn't leave the machine un
til the chant was ended and then they almost
Rugged each other in their delight, and even
attempted to embrace Mr.. Hartley, the store
keeper. They wanted more and a cylinder
was inserted that gave them Drill, We Ter
riers.' This pleased them immensely, and
laughs, though they probably did not under
stand word o. the song. They now regard
Mr.. Hartley as great medicine man and
want to adopt him into their tribe.

On the Right Track.

Tho convention Of colored men that met
in Macon the other day to take steps to
discourage the commission of the crime
that is the most fraitful cause of lynch
ings in the sou.h has not received the at
tention from the press Of this state and
the country it deserves. Ex-Gov. Cham
berlaiu. of South Carolina, first threw
out the idea that the way to put stop to
lynching5 was 10 remove the cause OF
them, and he declared that the colored
people themselves could do more to re-
move the cause than the white people.
His idea was taken up by leading colored
men Of Ware county, and the Macon con-
vention was the result.
The action of the convention will be
productive of good results. II will have
the effect of calling the attention of the
colored people TO the necessity for using
all the influence they possess to prevent
men Of their race from assaulting white
women. Nearly every lynching that
occurs in the south is caused By an out
rage of this kind Just as soon as the
cause is removed the lynchings will cease.
The colorcd men who have taken hold
OF this matter SHOULD be given every
possible encouragement. They should be
urged TO hold other conventions and to
draw the attention of their ministers to
the necessity for urging from their pull
pits the Importance of building up among
their people sentiment against the crime
that brings such terrible punishment
upon those of their race who are guilty of
it. With the influential colored meE
working to remove the cause of lynchings
and the press and officials striving to
create a sentiment in favor of letting the
law take its course in the case of all
criminals, it will not be long before lynch
ings will be few and far between.

Inconsistent senator sherman.

One of the senators who have obtained
a good deal of notoriety out of the long
struggle over the repeal bill in the Senate
is Mr.. Sherman. OF Mr. Shermans abil-
ity there is no doubt. OF his consistency
there appears to be great deal of doubt.
He had more to do with passing the law
that bears his name and which has
caused so much trouble than any other
man, and he is apparently among the
most anxious for its repeal, and vet he
threatened to introduce an amendment to
the repeal bill providing for an issue of
bonds that would defeat it,
But that which brings out Mr.. Sher-
mans inconsistency strongly is a recent
interview in the New York Herald in
which he declares he is in favor of clio
sure rule, and says that he has favored
such rule in the Senate for the last
twenty years. He admits that during
that time he has recognized the fact that
the Senate was powerless to act.
But if he has favored a closure rule for
so many years and has known the Senate
was powerless to act without one why is
it that he has never proposed that
the Senate should adopt such a rule?
Less than two years ago he was a mem
Der of committee that made thorough
revision of the rules of the Senate, and vet
there is no record that he proposed in
that committee or in the Senate closure
rule. While he is talking of the length of
time he has regarded closure rule a ne
cessity it would be interesting to hear
why he did not urge the adoption of such
a rule when he was in position to do so
AS matter of fact he is on record as
opposing the adoption of any method to
bring the Senate to a vote. The senator's
memory seems to fail as he advances in
years. This infrmity should warn him
not to be too positive in his statements in
interviews for the neyyspapers

The SeiEniorage.

During the past month there has been
considerable talk on the floor of the Sen
ate and in the columns of the newspapers
with regard to the coinage of the silver
seigniOrage in the treasury vaults
The seigniorage is the mint's charge for
coinage, and, when instituted, represented
the difference between the face value and
the bullion value of a coin. This differ
ence in values was provided for a double
purpose-to pay the mint for the work of
coming the metal, and to keep the coined
metal in the country issuing it. The seig-
niOrage deducted from the bullion value
of the metal in a dollar, or a sovereign,
or napoleon about % per cent, made
the coin worth intrinsically slightly less
than its face value, hence the face value
being greater than its bullion value it
could not profitably be exported In coin
ing silverdollars, for instance, 9715 per
cent. of the dollars worth of bullion was
put into the coin, and % per cent. re-
tanned by the government as seigniorage
The seigniorage or profits of coinage,
now in the treasury vaults, was derived
from the operations of both the Bland act
and the Sherman act, and is estimated to
amount to $50, OO0,O 900 or more Under the
so-called Bland act the government bought
silver, coined it into dollars earning the
seigniorage, or proft-and issued certifi-
Gates against the coined dollars. Under
the Sherman law certificates are issued
against the bullion so that the profit is
not yet earned.
The proposition to 'coin the seignior-
age" however, has not as its purpose the
actual coinage of silver dollars from the
bullion representing the governments
profits, but the computation of the
amount of profits the government would
earn by the coinage Of the bullion in it's
vaults and the issuing of certificates to
that amount, the silver remaining actually
untouched.

A Costly Blunder.

The Chicago Tribune says that the
failure of those who framed the law pro-
viding for the worlds fair to remember
that October has thirty-one days will
cause the exposition to lose about $500 600.
The attendance is now very large, and
the receipts from the concessions are
also large. The closing of the fair, there
fore, one day sooner than was originally
intended will make quite difference in
the total receipts. The original purpose
was to open the fair on the last day of
April and close it on the last day of Octo-
Der. 1t was afterwards thought advisa-
to change the opening day to May l. In
drafting the bill the fact that October
has thirty-one days was overlooked and
Oct. 30 was fixed as the closing day
The law authorizing the fair was en-
acted by the fifty-first congress, and the
chairman of the select committee of the
House that reported the bill and had
charge of it was Mr.. Chandler, of Massa-
chusetts. In all the various stages of the
bill no one seems to have thought of the
fact that October has thirty-one days. 1t
was clearly the intention of congress to
provide for closing the fair on the last
day of the month and not the day before
the last
The exposition has done much better
financially, however, than it was
thought it would three months after it
was opened. The receipts during Sep
TENDER and October have greatly ex-
ceeded expectations. If the receips in all
the months had been equal to those
thus far this month it is probable that
the stockholders would receive a large
dividend on their stock.
