Of New York felt as Mrs. Stanton did,
and Joined with her In the preparation

Mrs. Stanton said to the little group Of
women gathered about her when she
first preached the question of Bible
for women alone:
Sufficient attention has not been CIV

The Cape Law Journal gives the following
as a judgment actually delivered by court
In Egypt. 1t seems that partnership com.
posed of four persons owned each leg Of
specified leg OF the cat. One feg was wound
ed, and an oil rag thereon caught fire and
the other three legs carried the fiery leg
among some cotton belonging to the partner
ship. Here ls the judgment:
''rhe leg that had the oil rag 1t was
hurt: the cat could not use that leg-in fact,
1t held up that leg, and ran with the other
three legs. The three unhurt legs therefore
carried the fire to the cotton, and are alone
culpable. The injured leg is not to be
blamed. The three partners who owned the
three legs with which the cat ran to the cot
ton will pay the whole value of the bales to
the partner who was the proprietor of the
injured leg
Artcled clerks are invited to crticise this
judgment and point out Its errors according

Death of Famous Dutch seaman.

The Netherlands Vice Admiral Jonk-

on the 18th OF April, at the age OF 70. His
popular name in Holland was tine Hero
OF Slmonosaki." This was owing to a
heroic deed when the deceased, in 1863.
was In command of the \ Netherlands cor
vette Medusa, which was stationed in
eastern Asiatic waters. She was to take
the Netherlands Consul General from
Nagasaki to Yokohama On the 18th of
July, 1868, on her return from Nagasaki.
the Medusa had to pass through the mar
row straits OF Simonosaki, where, to the
surprise OF the Dutch commander, jana
nese shore batteries, supported by two
menof-war. opened fire upon his shin
Van Casembroot himself was wounded
and his vessel caught fire in two places
yet he persisted in his efforts to pass
through the straits, running the gaupt-
let of seven shore batteries. The feat
succeeded, and on his return to the Meth
erlands Van Casembroot was rewarded
by having great distinction conferred
upon him. Besides the decoration of the
Militaire Willemsorde he was raised in
the year 1872 to the rank OF Center-A dmi.s
raj. William III. also appointed him on.
of his Aides-de-Camp, and that post he
retained under the Queen Regent, Last
year he was appointed Grand Chancellor
of the Netherlands orders. He renre-
scented the district of Delft for time in
the Second Chamber in the interest ofthe
Conservative party, but he was no prom-

SOMETHING TO ANSWER.
Secretary CarlisIe's 'sFive Plain Facts

Secretary CarlisIe's "Five Plain Facts''
Unanswera bic.
The indianapolis NeaOS reprints Secre-
tary Carlisles five plain facts" and
continues:
Here is something for the Black burns
and organs and blmetallic leagues to an
swer. Are these propositions true? If
they are, they are just so many reasons
why The free-slIver programme should
not be adopted. 1t would seem, there
fore. that the silverites could render their
cause great service by meeting the issue
thus rendered them by the Secretary of
the Treasury. But they will not do it.
because it cannot be done. They will GO
on talking about 1.-The crime of 1873" and
Mr.. Carlisle's Inconsistency" but they
will not run their heads against these
five very hard and unpleasant facts.
We do not believe that the people of the
United States will ever favor policy
which will result in debasing their money
and in putting the country upon silver
basis. And that is what the free-silver
men propose to do. There is not an in
stance in all history of the concurrent cir
cula.ion of gold and silver where the
coinage of both was Tree and unlimited at
a ratio different from the commercial
ratio. The undervalued metal has in
variably disappeared from circulation. 1t
would be SO ii we should attempt the
free coinage OF the two metals at the l6 to
l ratio. We should go to silver basis.
Our 5000, 100000 of gold would leave us,
and instead of having more money we
should have vastly less. Secretary Car
Isle is>right. Every one of his PROPOSE
tons is literally true. The experience of
the past and the facts of The present
demonstrate their truth.
SO, free coinage means the use of silver
alone. instead OF both gold and silver, de-
probation OF the currency, a violent con-
traction eli the circulating medium, and
low wages considered, as purchasing
power. The people arefast coming to see
this. No man has contributed more to
their enlightenment than Secretary Car
Isle. The three speeches which he has
made have been mastery expositions of
the financial question. Many man who
has thought that, perhaps. there was
something in the free-silver theory, or
who has, at least, felt that the whole sub
ject was beyond him, has been surprised
to find that there was nothing in the
theory, and that its utter emptiness could
be demonstrated in such q way that the
least thoughtful man could understand.
Mr.. Carlisle has, therefore, rendered
great service to the people. His speeches
have been widely read. generally under
stood and thoroughly appreciated. 1t is
no wonder that the silver men are much
disturbed over their effect.
