THE YELLOW METAL.

The Stockton Mail submits the follow
ing as reason why the proposed bond
issue should be opposed:
Under the Infamous rule Of giving the option
TO the payee, all the gold lords will have TO do
10 recover the yellow metal which they gave in
exchange for the bonds is TO rush In an equal
amount OF Government paper for redemption.
After depositing the bonds in the treasury and
receiving 80 per cent OF their face value in
national bank notes, these latter can be ex.
changed in The open market for other forms of
currency redeemable in gold on demand. The
treasury viii thus, in the course of events, be
In the same fix asnOw. Wall street will have
as much gold as 1t has at present, with the ad-
dltiOnal advantage Of possessing $4,000 900
OF Government bonds Oh which the people
must pay Wall street per cent interest.
There is but one of the great European
nations that does not retain the option of
paying proportion of draft upon the
treasury in silver. That nation. of course,
is Great Britain. The United States, BY
law. retains the option. but by practice
has surrendered it. Under present con-
ditions. as the Mail says, an issue of bonds
is gift of SO much interest money to
Wall street. Bonds may be purchased
with gold, deposited as security for cir
culating notes. and the notes presented to
the treasury with demand for gold equal
to their face value.
The corner in gold is now nearly COM
plete. Following are the holdings of five
nations, according to an estimate of Mint

The same authority estimates the gold
money in the world at 1852 SOC. 900.
Other authorities have placed it as high as
IS. ZOO 100000 and as low as $780, OO. OOO
The estimate of the American Mint diree-
tor may, therefore, be accepted as ap-
proXimately correct. But what condi-
ton Of things is thus declared The
amount of gold money in the world is

There are several nations whose holdings
of gold are not estimated in the above,
which are controlled by the above nations.
All the European nations are contending
for gold and the minis of all are closed
against silver. The screw is still being
turned. The silver nations are in debt to
the gold nations and are large purchasers
of their manufactured products. The
little gold these silver nations have u.s.

a MAN MlsJUDoED.

The world goes by, and fancies he is cold.
Self wrapt in coils of egotistic thought
Fettered with links Of subtle cobweo'
wrought
By selfish meditation Men have told
Each other laughingiy that once he sold
His heart for love OF knowledge-that ne
bought
calm content $50 oft and vainly soughD
By breaking every dear affections hold
They read him lightly; he has never known
The loose emotions that can weep at will.
The void that makes each passing wind its own;
Yet in his breast are caverns hard TO fill
Not to be fathomed by the careless stone
OF those that cast TO show their petty skill
He is OF alien character to theirs
Who brand him with their foolish, worthless
scorn:
His careless seeming is g vesture worn
To hide the troubled front Of many cares;
Beneath the cloak Of callousness he bears
A beating heart, with sorrow often torn:
He has burden heavy to be borne
or love and sympathy: his thoughts are pray'r
When most he seems unheedful he Is sad
For that vast trouble which is lifc's below
Longing TO teach the fearful TO be glad,
The helpless hopeful-wearying to know
What food for famished spirits may be had,
What solace for thesmass Of human woe.

PUBLISHING THE BANNs.

The Peculiar Mistake of q Sexton Causes
the Postponement of Wedding.
A few years ago ludicrous, albeit
vexatious, incident occurred at a church
in Larkhall. A rustic couple, after
having had the banns published the
prescribed number of times, proceeded
to the church to be joined in holy we'd
lock. The service was conducted with
out hitch until the officiating clergy
man arrived at that part where he
asked: WILLIAM Wisher, wilt thou
have this woman to be thy welded
wife?" when the bridegroom replied
with some astonishment that his name
was not William Wisher.
The ceremony was, of course, sus-
pended, and on investigation being
made as to the cause of the mistake it
transpired that the bridegroom had
written to the sexton of the church re-
uuesting him to have the banns pub
| lished, and concluded his letter thus:
$50 no more from your we'll wisher and
Mary Williams The sexton, thinking
that William Wisher was the name OF
the intending benedict, published the
banns accordingly, and the disappoint-
ed couple were compelled to await the
1 publication of the banns in their proper
names.
Some years ago middled-aged agri
cultural laborer called upon the session
clerk of -Alloa aud asked him what tho
charge was. for publishing the cries
ii. e. banns of marriage three times OF
the same Sunday. "a pound" replied
the clerk ''Aye," said the other, IAN
| what dye TAX wheniye TAX two Sun
DAYS to do't?" Half guinea, wal
the reply. AN what aye chalrg'
when We talk three Sundays to do't?'
was the rustic's next query. ''SeveI

amused air. AYE, man." rejoined tn

a GREAT TREE.


Woudrous Stories Told Of the "a1lracplous
Thorn Of Glastonbury
At Glastonbury Abbey, in Somerset
shire, England. once stood thorn tree
which, it is said, bloomed every Christi
mas morning. The first authentic ac-
count of it ever written was in 1772 by
a Mr.. Eyston, who tells of it in the
account of his visit to the abbey. The
keeper assured Mr.. Eyston that st.
Joseph of Arimathea landed not far
from this town, at a place where there
was formerly an oak that had been
planted to his memory; that he and his
companions marched to a hill and rested
themselves, and that Joseph stuck his
staff in the ground. Now this stat
was common dry hawthorn stick, but
Il grew and first came, into full flower
on Christmas day. Afterwards the
tree. which had thus grown and budded
like Aaron's rod, always sbloomed on
the dav OF Our Lords nativity and upon
no other day, the flower, like those OF
the niRhtrblooming cereus, lasting pu'
q few hours.

German
Syrup

- am farmer at Edom, Texas. ]
have used German Syrup for six
years successfully for Sore Throat,
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Pains in
Chest and Lungs and Spitting-up Of
Blood. / have tried many kinds Of
Cough Syrups in my time, but let
me say to anyone wanting such
medicine German Syrupis the best.
