Their. as ii to put the subject beyond
all cavil, he says, 1--WE here in South
Missouri would be glad to have lead
mines whereby only four or five cents
for the product could be gained" He
might also have stated that we would
like to have coal mines and would be
glad to get one mill per pound for the
product. But if we had silver here
and it cost more to mine it than it
would bring on the market. we would
be apt to shut down like the western
silver kings did. Now, ask any
man of common sense if it don't pay
to get 8 dollars pound for silver9"
OF course it pays, and we advise Mr..
Geld Bug 10 go there and open up a
mine; plenty of good natured fellows
out there will take pleasure in show
ing him where he can strike a good
lead, free OF charge, and he can buy all
the necessary misunderstanding
and smelling apparatus-on time: and
some good-natured railroad company
will lay track to his mine to haul his
ore cheap and give him time on the
first few thousand cars, in order to get
him started.
Who says that silver mining don't
pay? All you have to do is to sink a
shaft about half mile deep and put a
little cheap machinery on top to haul
out the oar; only a trifle of million
or two will rig out nice little mine
anywhere. Sure, everybody knows
that the west is full of silver; all you
have to do is to dig hole down to it
and your fortune is made. OF course,
it's an outrage on the people to shut
down mines when silver is worth s
dollars pound. just think of it! s
dollars for Is ounces. when a miner in
Indiana only gets, about 60 cents for
mining a whole ton of coal. It's out

Ed Register-.Gold Bug" in your
last issue gave out a great amount of
important information. Any kind of
money, he says, will do for change,
but silver cannot be used in interna-
tional commerce. Now, according to
the best information we have on the
subject, only four per cent. of our COM
MERGE is foreign. The remaining.nine

silver is good enough for 90 per cent.
of our commerce, where Is the objec-
ton to free coinage there? But "Gold
Bug" says We import coffee, rice, pep
per dry goods, dyestuffs, etc.-more
than one hundred millions of dollars
annually. which has to be paid in gold.
Let us see? believe we import the
greatest amount of our coffee from Bra
iii. If am not mistaken Brazil is a
country. Rice we get
from China. China uses silver money.
Dyestuffs we import from the Indies.
They also use silver. That leaves dry
goods alone to be imported from gold
using countries, unless our Gold Bug
friend will maintain that pepper comes
from some gold using country.
Now, Mr.. Editor. supposing that the
list of imports given by '.Gold Bug" is
a fair sample. think We may be safe
in claiming that at least half our i'm
ports come from silver-using countries;
take that from the four per cent. Of
our foreign commerce., and it leaves
but two per cent. of our entire COM
MERGE with gold-using countries.
That is the best argument in favor
of the free coinage of silver that have
seen. ..Gold Bug" says the silver

In the case of a very intelligent cat of mine. ho went, l think, a step beyond this-namely, he satisfied him. self chat it was ill some way his own image Even if my deduction is wrong, the first part of his proceedings was so singularly like those in Dr. Romanes accounts that it scoms as though it were a uniform law of cat nature to act in this way, and 20 far it may not be al- together unintercsting.

A MlseHIEVOUs cRow.
Not Afraid of Gun and Liked Being
 Pelted by Boys.


 Strangely enough, there was nothing of which this crow stood so much in fear as crows themselves. Often they would come perilously near and toaw" at him. Helter skelter he would fly to the house, and his fSlief was painfully manifested when he was safe inside the kitchen. Their wild life evidently had no charm for him. He was ill terror of large snakes, teo, but small ones he gob- bled up as fast as he could. It was a most eifeetual way of preventing them from frightening him when they grew bigger.
 No attention was given to his eduoa. tion, but at last we discovered that he could repeat a word or phrase of q con versation he had just heard He coald laugh like q human being and initiate the eaekling Of q hen. 4Stopl3 stHel- lol' Hold onp' were favorite expres- sions of his, and generally his use of thom was intelligent. Ho liked to perch on top of the barn and shout out Stopl' at the farmers that went by in their wagons. If they refined in their horses, thinking it was some person that had called them, the success of his lit tie joke would cause Jim to burst into immoderato laughter.
 He actually enjoyed being snoWball- ed. He would stand upon an old tree stump and look aaucily at the boys, as much as to say: "Come, now, here's a good shot Why don't you hit me?' But Jim was always too quick for them No boy ever could hit him. He would dodge like lightning, laughing hoarsely as the ball flew harmlessly past or broke ill pieces on the other side of the stump, Then up he would hop again, with an- other challenge, ready for the next snow ball
 He was not afraid of gun He would stand close by while one was being load ed, and it might be fired off q number of times without having any peroeptible effect on him. But he was keenly alive to it's danger, and the very moment the muzzIe was pointed at him he lost no time i'll getting out of the way
 Jim was q very misehievous crow in- deed, When Grace, the baby, was learn ing to walk, he would seize her slyly by tho dress and cause her to fall He would peck at the toes of the barefooted children that came for water and laugh heartily as he drove them dismayed from the yard. Sometimes he would steal unnotioed down into the cellar The blows he could give with his beak had tho force of of a small hammer, so that 1t was a very easy matter for him to turn the sBigot of Q barrel One was pretty apt to discover after such visit that all tho vinegar had run out on the hoor.-Maleolm Douglas in St. Nieho- las.
