Financial StrinSency."

From the New York Tribune.1
speaking of financial stringency,"
said Wall Street broker to bis com.
panions as they were lunching together
yesterday, GIVE got good one to tell
you. Saturday morning q tall, solemn
looking stranger went into a bank,
which might name, only I promised
I wouldn't, and approached the win
dow Of the receiving teller, quietly re-
marked that he would like to deposit
$1,000. G'he teller in courteous tones
inquired if he already had an account
at the bank. The stranger said he
hadn't. So the teller FASTENED outside,
escorted him into the presidents room,
and introduced him to the president.
The president, on learning his business
smiled kindly, offered him seat, and
remarked that it was fine day. Well,
of course, they entered the new depos-
itor's signature in big ledger, and one
of the clerks was directed to provide
him with a passbook. Then the re-
ceiving teller took him back into the
bank and politely asked for his deposit.
But the stranger stroked his sandy
goatee, and explained that he had
merely come in to give the customary
sixty days notice and would be around
with the money, on the 4th Of October.
He added that it looked like rain, and
that steady pour for halfa day would
be great blessing to the country.
The teller reached for his bronze paper
weight, but before he could fire it the
stranger had lit out"
"Speaking of financial stringency,"
said another Of the brokers, "I heard
unique illustration oft few days ago.
A man entered a pawnbroker's shop in
the Bowery, and laying down twenty
dollar bill asked if be could be accom-
modated with a dollar on it. The
pawnbroker was an excellent judge Of
money, and saw at once that the bill
was genuine. So be turned and said
to the stranger, showing the bill toward
him as he spoke, that he was in no
mood for nonsense. But the stranger
showed the bill back, rejoined in earnest
tones that be meant business; that he
couldn't get any conductor on horse
car to change the bill; that he had
already been put off three cars; that
his, boots were awful tight, and that
unless be could get dollar on the bill
he would be compelled to walk to the
Battery. Well the pawnbroker could
not help but feel that the stranger
meant what he said. So he took up
the twenty dollar bill, toyed with it
few moments, and then said to him:
We'll, my friend, I'd like to acconccv-
date you, but owing to the financial
stsingency I can give you only IS
cents.'"

Look at the size of the ordinary pill.
Think of all the trouble and disturb
ance that it causes you. Wouldn't you
welcome something easier to take, and
easier in its ways, if at the same time
it did you more good? That is the case
with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They're the smallest in size, the mild
est in action, but the most thorough
and far reaching in results. They fol-
low natures methods, and they give
help that lasts. Constipation, Indiges-
ton, Bilious Attacks, Sick and Bill
lious headaches, and all arrangements
of the liver, stomach and bowels, are
promptly relieved and permanently
cured.

OOsSl uIlCutS VI dli hluOS duu ~ al
times have successfully assumed and
used these powers. In Hungary at this
time the Government controls certain
wines; in Germany certain railroads are
directly under the control of the State
and are owned by the State, and in
France the State controls the manu-
facture and sale of tobaccos, matches
and the like. There is one branch of
traffic controlled almost exclusively by
the State in all portions of the world,
and that is the postal system"
A number of decisions of the French
Courts bearing upon the tobacco trade
marks Of the Government were brought
forward in support of South Carolina's
claims.
At onestage in the proceedings Com
missioner Seymour expressed an appre-
hensiop that the new liquor system de-
vised by the fertile genius of Governor
Tillman might be demolished by the
Courts. In the course of a supplement
tai brief the attorneys had something
to say about the law in answer to the
doubts expressed by the commissioner
of its validity. They said:
'The. commissioner is probably not
concerned With the startling statements
that time and again have been flashed
before the country. indicating that the
South Carolina dispensary law was to be
broken into slnithers; that it had been
decided unconstitutional'by one of the
ablest Judges of the State; that it was
a part Of the 'odious'Tillman legislation,
etc., and we now refer to this aspect of
the matter simply to meet suggestion
contained in the query, Where will
the commissioner of patents be who
admitted to registration trade mark
that arose under an Act which the
ConrIs have wiped from the statute
books
The foundations Of the dispensary
law are on bed rock as determined by
judicial assaying, and if the super
structure, MOI yet, perhaps, fully tested,
should be found in any part to be def
cient, the workmen who laid the
foundations are still on duty. The day
of adulterated liquors has gone by in
South Carolina, and the strong arm of
the State has taken charge of the traffic
in Intoxicating beverages"
The decision from Commissioner
Seymour will probably be forthcoming
in few day. Its importance to Gov
ernor Tillman and his liquor system
will be great. Already the official booze
of South Carolina is winning for itself
a reputation as particularly nipping
and pure ammunition for jags. If the
Government refuses to register its
distinctive sign, there will be nothing
to prevent the proprietors of speak
easies from counterfeiting the labels
and selling underground stimulsut as
the genuine article. If the label is trade
marked a heavy penalty doubtless
would oe imposed for initiating it. It
is the sentimental aspect of the transac-
ton which will stir the most talk in
the Palmetto State. No one who knows
the temper of its inhabitants doubts
that they will object to having the
State title lowered to a brand for whis-
key and beer. The commissioners de-
cision will have an important bearing
on the question whether q State is to
be considered corporation which can
carry on merca ntile business.

1t didn't much matter which. He
was born in Erie county, New York,
taught school in Pennsylvania, went
to the war as captain in 1881, was
wounded at Antietam, and settled in
Ohio after the close of hostilities. In
the Forty-eighth Congress he sat three
rows in front of Frank Hurd, the tariff
reformer, who was able to keep his eye
on him without, however, being able
to enlist him actively in the free trade
crusade, of which Hurd was a cham
pion.
The Republican National Conven-
tion at Minneapolis declared that the
people favored bimetallism, and that
the Republican party demanded "the
use of both gold and silver as standard
money" The Democrats, at their Ma
tional Convention in Chicago, declared:
1--WE hold the use Of both gold and sill
yer as the standard morey of the coun-
try, and to the coinage of both gold
and silver, without discriminating
against either metal" The PEOPLES
party, in convention at Omaha, de-
clared in favor of "free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold" at ratio
of Is to /, and for "a national currency,
safe, sound, and flexible, issued by the
general Government only, full legal
tender for all debts" The Prohibit
tionists, in their National Convention
at Cincinnati, ignored the silver ques-
ton, and the Socialists held no conven-
ton, though they ran candidates for
President and for Vice-President.
According to an old tradition, silver
was.frst used as coin in Great Britain,
1900 years ago. A mint is said to have
been established in Colchester, in the
county of Essex, England, by one of
the native kings during the reign of
the Emperor Augustus, and gold, brass,
and silver coins, to a small extent, were
issued therefrom. In the coin and metal
division of the British Museum there
is a fine assortment of early English
silver coins.
Colorado stands first among the silver
producing States ofthe country. It is
closely followed by Montana, and then
at some distance by Utah, Idaho, and
Nevada. Texas is the only State which
il returned by the figures of the Mint
with producing silver, but no gold, and
Georgia is the only State returned as
producing gold but, substantially, no
silver. The gold mines of Georgia,
North Carolina, Virginia, and South
Carolina were considered very valuable
before the discoveries made on the
Pacific coast. The mineral wealth Of
North Carolina, one Of the old gazet-
teers declared in 1882, s.has lately at
tracted great attention. These mines
are very active and employ %, 600 men.
They are not sunk very deep, but are
wrought extensively in a horizontal
direction. The particles found seldom
exceed in sizes the head of a pin. In
one instance, however, a lump weigh
ing twenty-eight pounds was discovered
in North Carolina"
The silver States, so-called, cast 457,-
600 votes in the late election. They
have eighteen United States Senators.
New York casts l,300, 600 votes. 1t has
two Senators.

WHERE WILL HE'LL BE SITUATED

The ancient philosophers were of the
opinion that the internal regions were at an
equal distance away from all parts of the
earth's surface, which may be the founda-
ton of the modern idea of hell being in the
centre of the earth. The ancient Jews also
located the place of torment in the centre Of
our little sphere.
According to them there were three pass
ages leading to 1.-THE Wilderness, by which
route Dathan, Korah and ADRIAN de-
scended; the sea, because it is written that
Jonah cried to God out of the belly of hell;
the third passage is at Jerusalem, be
u it is said: "The fire of the Lord
is in Zion, and his furnace is in Jerusalem,
Mahommet said that hell has seven gates
the first for the Musselmen, the second for
the Christians, the third for the Jews, the
fourth for the Sabeans, the fifth for the
Magians, the sixth for the Pagans, and the
seventh for the hypocrites of all religions.
Winston, the English astronomer, believed
that hell is situated On a comet, and that one
moment the damned will be in the blistering
heat of the sun, n the next in a region Of
terrible cold,
Among Christian sects there are two con-
troverted opinions in regard to hell-one
concerning its locality, the other the duration
OF its torments. -Philddelphia Press.

Extraordinary Ignorance Noted
Amongst school Children.
By the liberality of Mrs. Quincy Shaw l
was enabled to make comprehensive studies
in 1880 of a large number of Boston children
just after they had entered the lowest grade
of the primary school. Fourteen per cent
of these six-year old children had never seen
the stars and had no idea about them; thirty
five per cent. had never been into the coun-
try; twenty per cent. did not know that milk
came from COWS; tifty-iye per cent. did not
know that wooden things cams from trees;
from thirteen to fifteen per cent. did not
know the eolors, green, blue and yellow by
name; fortyrseven per cent. had never seen
a pig; sixty per cent. had never seen a robin;
from thirteen to eighteen per cent. did not
know where their cheek, forehead or throat
was, and fewer yet knew elbow, wrist, ribs,
etc. More than three-fourths of all the
children had never seen to know them any
of the common cereals, trees, or vegetables
growing. These subjects were chosen be-
cause most of them constitute the material
of school primers or elementary instruction
which this new science of ignorance shows
must make mere verbal cram of much mat
ter of instruction. What idea can the eight
cen per cent of children who thought a COW
no larger than its picture get from all in
struction about hide, horns, milk, etc. r.
