exception Of receiving their many callers in
the most informal manner, take no part in
the gay doings at Deer Park. That they
are popular at that resort goes without say
ing, but their object in going there was to
have perfect rest before the heavy demand
that will be made upon their time and
strength by the early opening of the social
season.
The early opening of the social
season will very likely be a severe
tax upon the strength and endurance
of these public functionaries, and it
Is we'll for them to prepare for it.
True, there will be some relaxation in
attending to the little affairs of state,
but perfect rest" such as Deer
Park affords, is wise precaution be-
fore the arduous duties of the season

country; and how they stand ready
to re-invest it as soon as confidence Is
restored. They told of the amount of
foreign capital invested in railroads
and other industries in this country,
and how anxious British capitalists
are as soon as they can be assured of
the safety of their investments, to ex-
tend them and to make of America
the greatest and grandest country on
the face of the globe. 1t has probably
never occurred to these gentlemen
that the people of this country are
amply able to do all that they pro-
pose to have British capitalists do for
| it, if they can have fair opportunity.
Nor has it occurred to them that if
British capitalists do these things,
when all the improvements have been
completed, and when by their instr7-
mentality it has become that greatest
and grandest country on the face of
the globe" that it will belong to those
who have made it 80. Of what par
tlculsr advantage ls it to Americans
to have British subjects improve this
country if they are to own it after it
Is done? 1t will occur to the average
American that the less of this kind of
craftsmanship we have in this coun-
try the better it will be for our own
people. And yet this is not an un-
common fallaoy. Too many of our
people consider the ability to borrow
money or to secure the Investment Of
foreign capital in American enter
prises as of great advantage to the
country. The fact is directly the re-
verse. What the people demand is
not to bOrrOaO money but that they
have the opportunity to earn it. Bor-
rowing, whether by nations or indi-
viduals, is a costly mskeshift, and
one to be abandoned at the earliest
possible moment.
But there is another thought that
it seems to us is Of very great i'm
portsnce IN this connection. If
foreign investors in American securi-
ties are able at pleasure to preclpitate
a panic in this country, as they are
said to have done recently because of
sudden attack of want of conf
dence," can 1t be advantageous to this
country to encourage, or even to per-
NIT any increase of such investments? I?
Are we to be eternslly at the mercy
Of foreigners in this respect9 The

quences too momentous. We cannot

single gold standard of money for
the United States. Legislation, 1t is
true, has been shaped to this end,
but it has been done in such way as
in some measure to obscure the mo-
tive of the promoters of it. Now,
however, the case is entirely different.
The purpose is now openly and braz-
enly avowed of reducing the circulat-
ing medium of the country down to
the narrow and absolutely insufficient
basis of the single gold standard.
There is no longer any attempt to
disguise the move of the legislation
that is to be attempted in this con-
gress.
We do not design to enter upon any
discussion at this time Of the conse-
quences of such Legislation. We are
now experiencing some of those con-
sequences, and it is perfectly safe to
infer that the American people un-
derstand the subject sufficiently we'll,
that if they could be consulted in the
matter they would repudiste the
proposition by a majority so over
whelming as to forever dispose Of it
during the present administration.
What we design to say at this time
relates to some of the other fallacies
of the gold-bug speakers in the
house.
Mr.. Patterson, of Tennessee, and
Mr.. Pendleton, of West Virginia, on
Monday LAID special emphasis upon
the ability of the United States gov
ernment to sell bonds in Europe and
buy gold, and thereby become pos
sessed of such an amount Of the pre-
cious (?) metal as to make us abso-
lutely master of the financial situation.
It may not be strange that these men
do not SEQ the fatal effect of such a
policy. 1t Is perfectly safe to say
that the constituents of either one of
these gentlemen could give them
some valuable pointers upon the
subject.
Suppose the scheme to be carried
out to the letter. Is 1t not perfectly
apparent that every bond thus issued
for gold ultimately called for more
gold than is secured by the govern
ment in exchange for lt3 Let us see.
A bond issued for the purchase of
gold would necessarily be payable in
gold, both principal and interest, and
the government, after paying the in
terest in gold until maturity of the
bond, would then have to pay the
principal in gold, and the game would
thereby be a losing one to the full
extent of the interest. And what
would be gained by 1t? Is the gold
standard of money of such immense
advantage to the people as to justify
permanent interest-bearing debt to
sustain it? 1t is hardly necessary to
enter into an argument to controvert
so absurd proposition.

Many years ago when the elder Bull
wer was In his prime q laborer on the
estate was engaged to do certain job
of hard work. At the end of week he
carried his account to the bailiff, who
said weeks work was worth 3shillings
and pence. The man insisted that this
was not enough and refused to settle,
and every time he met the bailiff he
would stop him and ask him for his
money. Finally the bailiff became
angry, discharged the man and refused
to allow any farmer on the estate to hire
him.
The man was forced to leave the
neighborhood, but he was too poor to
move any great distance, so that he was
still within the circuit Of the bailiff's Ill
will. Wherever lie went this pursued
him, and his life in consequence was
hard one. q But all the time he kept tell
ing his family and his friends that some
day he wouldget the money which the
Bulwer Lytton estate owed him.
He was well on in years, when one
day he met n man in the road. II was

Lord Lytton looked at the account,
and at his request the man told the
whole story. The poet was very much
affected and disturbed. Then he said:
"Well, will do what can to make
1t up to you." ~
He was as good as his word. He built
house at the gates Of the park, put the
man and his family into it, and gave 1t

In the summer of 1850 left San Fran

and on the entire route, which lasted 43
days, we never saw sail. Loneliness Is
no word for it, especially when we lay
becalmed in the tropics, with our vessel
floating as helplessly about as a chip on
a mill pond, the ground swell 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 creaking OF
the rigging that might have passed for
the flap of the wings and the wall of lost
spirits.
When we read about Noah and his ark,
we are apt to think that he must have
had rather lonely time, but then he
was out only 10 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
sparring match between his monkeys
and parrots True, there is no report Of
any such proceeding on his part, but
that is doubtless because there was no

A Game hunters Last Enort.

M. de Cherville had dog which had
become wholly deaf and almost blind
with old age, as well as most helplessly
lame with rheumatism. The dog slept
almost all the time, but he retained
keen passion for the chase, and itwas
impossible for his master to get away
from the house with a gun on his shout
der without the old dog unless the ami
NAL was locked up.
On one occasion when M. de Chervillc
thought he had eluded the old dog he
found when in the field that the faithful
creature was limping after him, whining
with the pain Of moving his old limbs,
but keenly on the alert, as well as his
eyesight would permit, for game.
Presently the master saw the dog
pointing" at partridge. De Cherville
could not resist the temptation. to kill
one more bird for the veteran. He fired,
the partridge dropped, and the dog with
the one-quarter of an eye which remained
to him, hunted it out and brought it tn
his master. f a4ft 8a
Bringing the bird at limping, lum-
bering gallop, the dog did what he had
never done before in the field; he gotupon
his hind legs, planted his forepaws on De
Cherville's shoulders and dropped the
bird on his breast. Then the dog fell to
the ground rolled over two or three
times and was dead. His last supreme
effort in his masters behalf had killed
him. Youths Companion.

Tho Christian Nnme.

The term "Christian name" is used in
England and America only. "Baptismal
name" is used in other countries. The
terms seems to have been used first after
the reformation, when Biblical names
were used as reaction against the use
Of the saints names in the calendar. 1t
Is evident that all Biblical names are not
Christian, but the reaction went 80 far
ns to consider everything in the Bible as
Christian and everything not In the BIZ
