silver would be greatly advanced.
This discussion was OF no Importance,
except as to the confessions OF the ene-
mics Of silver. for It IS totally i'm
probable that Mexico will consent to
accept the proposition, even with any
modification. Senator Sherman, how
ever, says that the coming OF hundred
millions OF silver dollars FOR use In
China would greatly advance the price
OF silver. Th.s is an acknowledge
ment OF the truth of the argument
made by the silver men. that the
present forlorn condition Of that metal
is due to legislation against It. and not
to any fault Of the metal. And II the
coming OF silver for use In China would
bring up the price OF the metal. why
would not the coming Of the dollar for
use at home have like salutary ef-
feet?

views it con tains Will be found in our
advertising columns this morning. 1t
will be seen that several of the glaciers
of Alaska are shown in this number, to-
gether with a view of snow capped Mt.
Tacoma, in the State of Washington.
From the tropical portions of the
country are views of aCypress Brake and
a Sugar Plantation in louisiana and also
two views of Mexican localities. ne
picturesque lake of Tchula, in MISS
issippi furnishes a subject for me
plate and the same state furnishes an
other subject in the old time cotton
press. From the great West are views
of the Seal and Bear rocks, Garden of the
Gods, Sierra Blanca, with one exception
the highest peak in the United States,
Canyon of the Grand river, Colorado and
Uncompahgre bridge in the same state.
The two remaining engravings are OF
Totem Poles, Alaska, and the United
States cruiser Charlestown. We can now
furnish parts one of seven in this series.
The reproduction of "The Drove at the
Ford" 'front.' he painting in the Corcoran
art gallery at Washington in No. OF
Famous Paintings of the World, has
been pronounced by competent critics to
be one of the finest examples OF photo
engraving in existence. The scene is
sketched from an English woodland
pasture, with the heavy oyerhanglng
trees, the deep shade and the placid
water. Through the rift of the forest
the luminous air is fired with one OF
those flashes of sunshine which contend
with the fogs and mist that roll up into
the clouds. In the foreground the herds
of cattle and sheep are just rushing
down from the pasture to the cool waters
of the stream The camera has produced
all these features and the engraver has
brought them out perfectly in his plate.
This is only one of the sixteen fine works
of art that appear in this number. In
the six parts of this series already issued
there have been given 9S reproductions
of famous and popular works of art, all
presented in the same first class manner.
The demand for this series is increasing
daily and the publishers are receiving or
ders greatly in excess of what they ever
expected. First editions are always best
and we advise all who wish the series to
take them as they are issued and not
wait till the whole series is out as many
have told us they should do. Parts one
to six are now ready.

Snuff aboard.

SWITCHBOARD is popular enough in Eng
land and Scotland and used to be popular
here, but it is doubtful whether it ever
penetrated this country as far as Buffalo
or Pittsburg. 1t obtained here in drink
ing saloons run by Scotchmen, and the
last of the boards are now to be found
in one such place in Brooklyn and very
few in this city. It is the same game az
that which is played on shipboard, but in
reality both are forms of the old Scotch
sport of curling. Switchboard as it is
played most commonly is played with
one pound weights on a long thick board
kept well sanded. 1t requires skill to
slide the weights to just the right place,
and it requires more skill for the other
fellow to knock them off after they get
there.-New York Sun.
