A TETE-A-TETE
BY Eugene Field.


Away down East. where I was reared
among my Yankee kith
mere used 20 1--we pretty girl whose
name was Mary SmIh.
ANA though lts many years since I last
saw that pretty girl.
And though / feel I'm worn bv Western
strife and whirl.
stu ottenumes l think about the old IA
mIliar place,
Which oftentmes seemed the brighter for
1Iss Nary's pretty face
And iu my heart feel once more revivi-
fed the glow
used TO feel i'm those old times when I
was Maly's beau.
ON Friday night I'd drop around to make
nay weekly call.
And though / came 90 visit her, ia have to
see em all.
With .Nary's mother sitting here, and
Mary father there.
The conversation never Tagged, so far as
Pm aware.
Sometimes ia hold her worsted. some
times we'd play at games.
Sometimes ia d.ssect the apples which we
named each others names.
OH, how J loathed that shr.ll-toned clock
that told me when to- 20,
Twas .au o'clock aI half past eight when
was Mary s. beau.
And Nary should these lines of mine seek
out your hiding place.
God grant they bring The old sweet smile
back 90 your pretty face;
God grant they bring YOU thoughts of me,
nor as ] ann to-day
With faltering steps and dimmed eyes and
aspect griwiy gray,
but thoughts chat picture me as fair and
fun of life and gleo
AS ve We're in the olden time-as YOU shall
always Poe.
Think of me ever Nary as the boy YOU
used TO know
When time was fleet and life was sweet
and j was Mary's beau.

SILVER AND GOLD.
What Does the Ratio of Is to of
 The Metals Mean?
An Explanation and Something of the History of the Different
 Ratios.

As the silver problem is one of the burning issues of the day, and as the financial peace and pros perity f nations may be said to depend upon it's eventual solution, It is important that as much of il be understood as possible.
 next to the abstract proposition of free coinage itself is the ques- ton of the ratio, Every time a silver congressman makes a speech or a silver editor writes an article the words .'sixteen 10 one" are used "Sixteen te one"-that is the device emblazoned on the banner of the silverites. It is their slogan, their rallying cry. It is tho first line of their declaration of principles of their platforms. They stand upon it irrevocally. Around hose words-a simple for mula--aro grouped charges, ao- cusations, predictions, arguments, affirmations, denegations and what not, From what we read and hear the safety of nations, the wealth of states, the property of individuals-everthing, in fact hangs upon the preservation of the integrity of that formula
 What does 16 to 1 mean2 How many of us know2 Ask any one your neighbor; yourself perhaps and note the lack oi knowledge extant. And yet in the abstract the matter is a simple one.
 Stripped of many complex characteristics which affect but do not alter its substance. the mean ing of the phrase Is to is easily understood. It expresses the rel ative value of gold and silver for coinage purposes as established by the government. Of necessity, things that are placed in compari- son and considered, measured, estimated, or valued relatively must have a common character of some so1t. In the case of gold and silver it is weight. One ounce of silver has only one-sixteenth the value of an ounce of gold One ounce of gold is worth sixteen ounces of silver.
 This government ratio, while is based upon something which rests itself on the natural laws of commerce, the two chief of which are demand and supply. In other words, the l. gal ratio is the commercial or

It was one of the most atrocious crimes that has ever blackcned the pages of Missouri's history and circum stantial evidence is very strong against them. It will be remcm bered by our readers that these men were captured in this state last June by Hon. Jerry c. South, a brilliant young lawyer and member of the General Assembly. Several futile efforts were made to bribe members of the jury by the friends of the defendants. The jury unable, to arrive at a verdict, was dischar. ed and trial sci again for next July.

TIE silver market has fuctu- ated considerably within the last ter days, which is supposed to have been the result of speculatons based upon the probable settle ment of China's indemnity to Ja- pan. Japan also owes her people something over s125, 100000 of borrowed money, which borrow was made 10 meet the exIgencles of the late War, and upon silver basis.

BLOOD ON THE MOON.

Sunday afternoon Gorerhor James P. Clarke and Representa-. tive Jones of Marion County, be- came invoh ed in il personal diff culty in the lobby of Gleasom's Hotel, Little Rock. A detailed statement oi the circumstances aS gleaned from the newspapers and bystanders would take up too much of our space. From what we can learn, Gov. Clarke was the direct aggressor, though we may not be fully apprised as to ante ccdent causes. II k a very uRtor- tunate affair aHd at the best Is very bad. he Gov. eel tainly seems reprehensible in that he was on the streets, on the Sabbath day. carrying concealed weapons in direct violation of the very laws which it is his duty as the States highest executive officer to en- force. However much Arkansas may have done Tn the way of pro- gress aud development, and not withstandiug the fact that she is one of the foremost States in the A meri can union, there still exists, to a greater or less extent, ah opinion among the older states that she has not yet passed away from the customs and habits ot frontier life, and such untoward cir cumstances as occurred last Sunday. reported and read as they were in in every city and town large enough to support 2 daily paper, will go far toward confirming this belief in the minds of the less in formed.
 We clip the following vigorous editorial from the daily Democrat:
 ENFORCE THE LAW.
 The most disgraceful episode in the history ef Arkansas since the killing of Anthony by Speaker Wilson, in 1886, occurred yester- day, Sunday, when the governor of the State armed himself with a pistol, sought out one of the rep resentativcs in the legislature, and after grossly ly insulting him, drew his pistol and endeavored to shoot him. The details of this shame ful and infamous occurrence are printed elsewhere. The man who has thns brought disgrace upon himself and every citizen of the commonwealth should be brought to speedy justice. It matters not that he is governor of the State There is, on that account, all the greater reason whY he himself, the chief eonservator of the peace and dignity of the State, should be amenable 10 the laws. fhe daty Of the legislature K plain.

TESTERS REPORT.

NEW ORLEANT, April 5.-Secre- tary Hcster's weekly New Orleans Cotton Exchange statement issued today shows d movement of the cotton crop of 1894 95 into sight to date in round figures of 9,l22 : GOO bales. This exceeds by 34.000 the official estimate of the total of the crop for the year put forth by the Washington { srieultural De- partment in February last, which was 9,0sS ,000, leaving the move ment from now until next August, inclusive to be added.-Gazette.
 Silver may be responsible, to some extent, for the stringeney of money and the low price of cotton, but unless 1t hereafter falls far short of the present crop, il will be folly to hope for anything better than the present market price.

Something quite remarkable came
into the redemption division of the
Treasury at Washington short time
ago. It was thin plato of silver about
two feet long, into tho surface Of which
aS10 silver certificate had been pressed
in such manner ms to incorporate it's
substance actually with that Of the
medal. It was brand new bill, and
in tho process had boon squeezed out
to about twice it's original size A
statement accompanied it to tho effeot
that workman In asilverware factory
had dropped tho bill accidentally upon
the plato of silver as the later was
passing through q rolling machine.
This explanation being satisfactory a
fref'' $40 certificate was returned to
the loser.
