The Black Bear and His Winter Quarters.
nv. 7. Hornadoy in 81. Nicholas
One of the most curious things about the
Black Bear land the grizzly and cinnamon
also) is the way he goes into snug Winter
quarters when Winter has fairly set in and
lies dormant in his den without either eating
or drinking, until the next Spring This is
called Information, and during this period the
ordinary processes of digestion seem to be en-
tirely suspended. In cur semi-trepics bears
do not hibernate, but Nature undoubtedly
planted this instinct in the brain of the bear
of the North 90 enable him to survive the
severe Winter period when the SHOWS lie deep.
and all food is so scarce that otherwise he
would be in danger of starvation. This
period of Information is from about the
middle of December to the middle of March
It has been stated that If bears have plenty of
food they will not hibernate. even in the
North, but this is a mistake. / know of at
least two instances wherein bears In captivity
have "hofed up" in December and remained
dormant until March, IN spite Of all temp
tations of offered food. The natural instinct
was so strong that it refused to be overcome
by appetite alone.
There is another very curions thing about
the Information of the Black Bear His den
is usually hole dug under the roots of either
standing tree or an uprooted tree, but it
may be in hollow tree, hollow log, or
more frequently, miniature cave in rocky
hillside. Sometimes he makes led of
leaves and moss for himself, but often he does
not. In "holing up" under the roots of a
tree he is frequently completely showed in,
and under such a condition, the warmth of
his breath keeps the SHOW melted Immediately
around him. This moisture freezes on the
inside of his den and presently he is incased
in dome Of snow, lined with ice, the hard
lining of which ever grows thicker from the
frozen moisture of his breath. AS result,
he often wakes early in March to find himself
prisoner in a hollow dome of SHOW and iee
from which he cannot escape for DAYS, and
where he is often found self-trapped. and shot
without the privilege OF even striking a blow
at his assailants And there is where Nature
serves poor Bruin a mean trick. have never
seen bear III such an ice cage of his own
building, but DR.. Merriam has. in the Adiron-

The Only Born King in Europe.
Isl James gudoet


Yesterday Alfonso XIII. of Spain celebrated
his eighth birthday, Ell Nino having come
into the world ON the 18th of May. 1886. He
is the one Sovereign in Europe who is Il born
King, for his father died six months before
his only son saw the light. Moreover, he can
claim to be solitary bachelor among the
crowned heads Of the Continent Brief as
has been his reign, he has not escaped trou bles;
for delicate health has more than once
threatened to cut short his career, and political
anxieties, of which he is happily as yet un-
Conscious have harassed his devoted mother.
The boy, according TO all who have come into
contact with him, is bright, intelligent and
high-spirited. They tell story of 4 dance at
ST. Sebastian where His Majesty took great
fancy to "a partner of his own age, and the
young lady innoeently offered her cheek for a
royal salute Alfonso, however, proudly
stepped back, stretched out his hand for her
to kiss, and exclaimed, g. j am your King u

Queen Yietoria,s Crown.

Queen Yictoria's crown is composed of
hoops of gold, inclosing cap of deep purple,
or rather blue velvet the hoops being COM
pletely covered with precious stones, sur
mounted with ball covered with small dia-
monds, and having Maltese cross of brilliants
on the top of it. This cross has in its center
a splendid sapphire. The rim of the crown is
clustered with brilliants, ornamented with
fleur de lis and Maltese crosses equally rich.
In front of the Maltese cross which is IN the
front of the crown is the celebrated heart
shaped ruby, traditionaily said to have been
won by the Black Prince at the battle of
Cressy, and by Henry V. at the battle of
Agineourt. Beneath in the circular rim, is
an immense long sapphire There are many
other precious gems-emeralds, rubies, and
sapphires-and several small clusters Of drop
pearls.

The boy stared at her, and shouldering his

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE wAsNoY6 O. THURSDAY JULY H. 1884,

their fire now delivered volley at close
range with deadly effect. Some of the
enemy stood, however, until the 9th
were within 80 yards Of them, firing
steadily and with good aim. They were
nearly all shot down, and part of their
right wing had encountered fire from
part of the 10th N. Y, who we're in the
woods at right angles with our line.
All this happened in very few
minutes. 1t has been asserted that
some of the enemy were bayoneted; I
cannot vouch for the statement as a
fact, but 1 know they would have been
if they had not fallen back. This regi-
ment was Orr's South Carolina Rifles,
and were armed with Enfelds. They
suffered loss of 81 killed, 234 wound
ed, in the latter being included the NOR
tally wounded, and four missing; a
total of 319. Only 149 officers and
privates were ON hand for duty the next
morning. Among the losses Col. Mar
shall mentions, in addition to those men-
toned hereafter In Col. MarshalPs re-
port, Maj. Livingston, wounded severely
in the side; Capts. Norton and Harrison,
wounded; Capt. Miller, wounded, and
Is men of his company killed; Capt.
Cox, wounded, and Is men killed ;
Lieuts. Lattimer and Norris, mortally
wounded Lieuts. Davis, Mckay, and
Philpot, wounded.
Now, comrades, you will wonder how
all this was done, without our regiment
receiving the same punishment. In the
first place, after we got over the ditch,
the ground was gentle rise, and much
of their fire went over heads. More
over. our two Sharp's rifle companies
had the advantage of loading quickly,
and the rest of Us had a cartridge that
required no tearing before loading.

The Cleveland Plaindealer ~truthfully
says: The demonstration Of silver in
creased the value OF gold and il decreased
the farmers wheat in it's purchasing
power Just in proportion as IL increased
the value Of gold. Now. what kind OF
honesty is ii which forces the farmer to
give two bushels Of wheat for the
purchase Of one dollar with which to pay
of his thoussnd-dollar mortgage! That
10 exactly what the demonstration OF
silver did, and that 10 the kind OF an
honest dollar that is demanded from
creditors. Then they talk about fat
money, and fat values. II was the fat
Of the Government that drove silver out
OF the mints. II is the fat Of the Gov
eminent that makes gold. and gold only,
money Of final redemption. Let the
same fat be expressed in regard to silver
and gold both alike, and then let both be
used without discrimination against one
and in favor Of the other, and no one
will question that each is an honest dol
lar. It is the law and the law only that
ever made either gold or silver into
money, and never made too much coined
money. II is the stamp Of the mint that
makes o dollar.

rHs LATEST CAN'T PHRASE.

"An elastic currency" is the latest d
dition TO the stock Of cant phrases By
which the bank organs try to befog the
popular mind. A year ago when silver
was TO be knocked on the head, these Or
eans were cock.shure that there was no
need Of "~fpfatiDg the currency" Now
that they want to give as = food Of bank
paper instead OF coined silver, they dis
cover that we need an "elastic currency.
Silver coin would 'fnAste' the currency,
but bank paper with no intrinsic value
ct all will only make it "elsstic." What
10 the difference between Imitation
and elasticity :" Senator Jones Of Ne
vads has pointed out the delusive char
acter Of the '~'elastic currency" which the
banks furnish. Between 1873 and 1879,
when prices were falling. and when the
stringency Of the money market was as
sharply defined as at any period in the
history Of this country; when the dis
tress was almost universal; when the
Federal troops had to be called out to
suppress hungry and starving workmen,
the banks then showed how elastic their
currency could be-in the wrong direc'
ton. II was then diminished instead oil
being increased. Although everybody
knew that the people wanted more
money, because prices were falling, the
banks withdrew currency at the very
time when they ought to have increased

COINAGE AND CIRCULATION.

A correspondent says we are mistaken
in saying that the Carlisle plan has moth
ing to do with the silver question. Then
he carefully proves that . bank currency
would diminish the demand for silver
dollars.
Mr.. Carlisle's plan proposes to extend
the use Of silver dollars BY putting . $40
minimum limit on the denominations Of
bank notes.
But even il ID did not, our correspond
emit would be guilty Of . fundamental
error. We are not aware that the use OF
silver dollars is the question OF silver
coinage. The purpose Of free coinage 10
net TO arbitrarily force the circulation OF
.ny kind Of dollars. What it's intslli.
gent advocates desire is the fixing OF .
standard.
It is quite possible that free coinage Of
gold and silver would actually diminish
the number OF silver dollars in regular
use. The business Of the country could
use any metal dollars or any paper sub
stitutes its convenience suggested. We
might have free coinsgs and in n
tion with il o banking currency 90 safe
and convenient that very few metal dol
lars would be used in ordinary transac.
tions.
1t is enough for the Government to f1
q good standard and keep the mints open.
The market for silver should take its
chances like the market for corn and cot
ton. The pc ople could use the silver dol.
lars or the gold dollars or anything else
they pleased, as long as safe regulations
guarded the minting Of coin and the
issce Of paper currency.-St. Louis Re-
public.
The Republic has always been consid-
cred heretofore an earnest advocate OF
the cause Of silver, but il, too. seems to
be weakening. 1t is in favor Of opening
the mints to free coinage, but "the Gov
eminent to fix . good standard" and
adds: "The market for silver should
take its chances like the market for corn
and cotton" That lie, il would place
silver in the list Of commodities. The
fact 10, there is no compromise possible
Of such . great question as the money
question. Every compromise agreed to
only complicates the situation. II was
so with the slavery question. until ct last
the crisis came. . civil war followed, and
the matter was definitely settled. So IL
will be with the silver question, but We
