THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
The Marion Ladies Are Is 10 1 Free Silver ties and Speak Out in Meeting in
 Special Edition of the Standard.

Marion, Dec. 2O.-(special Correspond enee) )-The ladies edition of the Stand ard, which appeared last week, was success editorially and financially. The following is it's elucidation of the finan- cial question:
 We have views upon this. as upon ev- cry other question; and we believe we un- derstand it as thoroughly as NR do the tariff question, the Armenian question, or any other of the questions that are now veXing the brains of the stupid men of the world.
 We propose to state our position upon this money question clearly, concisely and unequiVocally.
 The silver mine owners have given us no br;Se-not even an advertisement for our paper; the "sound money" advocates have given us no official position and no promise of one; so that we are free from all entanglements. and can give an nnbi- ased opinion on this subject.
 In the first place-but before we state this important proposition, deduced from the science and the history of money, we desire to express our regret that the pub lication of this paper by the ladies or Ma rion has been so long delayed. Its ap- pearance months ago would have saved this country from the agitation and de- pression and uncertainty arising rom difference of opinion as to the adVlsapli- ity and feasibility of free coinage.
 In the second place. and we wish 10 enforce and emphasize this point, as II IS the very kernel of the whole matter- the effort on the part of the eastern golu. bugs to force this country to ra1o or 16 to 1 is absurd and arbitrary. From the foundation of this government to the present time $1 of silver was worth as much and would buy as much as Sl or gold; and to say now that 1t shall take S16 of silver to equal s1 of gold is an out, rage and a merciless blow to free ana enlightened people. Let the dollars pc interchangeable, and let the ratio stand 1 to 1, as our revolutionary sires made IL;
 In the third place, to the thoughttul reader 1t is unnecessary to say here Tn conclusion that we are for the free ana unlimited and independent coinage or sound metal on monometainc party with international agreement.
 This is our platform, and the party which adopts it will sweep this country like a Kansas cyclone. Let every man gho wants free coinage put up ms own still and pay license into the town treas ury for the support of the public scnoolS Let every man who wants monometal- lism publish the fact in his county news paper for three consecutive weeks ana thereafter be ineligible to any ofhce Then-and not till then-will this grand and glorious republic have rest.

DIR. KlLGo AT sMITHFiELD.
The People Delighted with his Fine
Address and Powerful Sermons.

Speaking of President KilgO's visit to
Smithfield last Saturday and Sunday TO
deliver the address at the laying Of the
corner stone of the new Methodist
church, the Smithdeld Herald says:
Our people were delighted by the pres
ence of that great preacher and dlstln-
guished educator, Dr. John q. KjlgO,
President of Trinity College, who was
in our midst lest Saturday and Sunday.
To say that Our people were charmed
even oaptivated with DR.. KllgO, is not
putting it too strongly. On last Satur
day at 10 o'clock, Just after the laying
Of the corner stone, DR.. kilgo delivered
a very fine address on 1.-The mission Of
the church and what it has done for the
world"
DR. Kilgo preached Sunday morning
at II O'Clock from the text, 81 am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the end
ing, saith the Lord, which is, and which
was, and which was to come, the Al
mighty. Rev. /: s.
We have seldom, if ever, heard so
powerful a sermon as he preached. It
was a sermon that not only pleased, but
moved the people. Many in the audi
ence were moved to tears.
In the evening he delivered an excel
lent lecture on christian Education"
which was we'll received by cur people.
He spoke of the danger that threatened
our people -materialism-the pursuit of
things only material, and not the higher
things in intellectual life, such as heart
and mind culture. Many OF our PEG
pie are rich in money, rich in goods al d
rich in houses, but poor indeed in intel
lee ual arts. He spoke of the imper-
feet education furnished by many Of Of r
colleges-an education which make
young men dudes and tops but does not
teach them to be dignifed, gentlemanly
and self possessed. He denounced the
brutal game of foot ball as unfit to be
played by young men at college, especi-
ally at a Christian college.
We hope Dr. Kilgo can visit our town
again and often. He is an able, learned
and magnetic man. He will ever be
heard with interest in Smithfeld.

Traced years ago by her fair white hand,
Rose the last sweet breath OF new-mown hay,
The odor she loved and again stand

To face that was framed In golden hair,
And its radiant glory a moment threw
Into darkness the moolight shining there
And thrill again, while the dear gray eyes
Flash bright as trout, in o stream at play,
When the sunbeams, arrows OF light, surprise
Him. deep In his haunt on a summers day.

The song is hushed; on the dosolate shore
The waves of sorrow break at my feet,
But the song of the mermaid evermore
In my heart shall echo, low and sweet;

On the singers face. as she turns from me
Ah! never II mermaid seen In dreams

And softly kiss the letter that brings
A remembrance sweet, OF that summer

And my heart ip sorrowful silence clings
To a moss-grown grave, and headstone

MOURNING DRESS.
Crspo 10 More In Use Now Than 1t Was

Fashion governs the habiliment of
woe as well as the butterfly raiment
of pleasure, and one is no less subject

unobtrusively and in good taste is the
desire of all who wear mourning, and
in order to do this one must keep pace
with the changes OF fashion.
The ceremonial of English mourning

The laws governing mourning are
not SO strict in America as in England
nor is the custom so general, but there
are with every season some especial
points that 1t is necessary 10 know in
order to be dressed in good taste.
The most marked difference between
the mourning of this season and last Is
the increased use of Grape. 1t would

This Woman Has an Experience That
Made Her Avoid Gable Cars.
There is Georgetown woman who
is put to great expense for cab fare
every time she comes over to the city on
a shopping tour, for the reason that she
has boycotted the cable cars, says the
Washington Post. The reason of this
is characteristically feminine one,
She is of rather sallow complexion. and
cannot stand certain lights. One day
she was returning home on the cars,
about that time in the afternoon when
the sun sends his beams slantward from
the west. Suddenly a male acquaint-
ance approached her, and in agitated
tones inquired if she were i'll.
why, no-I never felt better in nv
life said she. "Whyp"
We'll, you look so queer" faltered
he, "a kind of sickly green, as if you
had cholera"
Then she noticed that the sun. shin
ing through the pale green fan lights,
gave to his face just the hue he de-
scribed. And that is the reason why
you couldn't hire that woman to ride
on cable car to Georgetown in the
afternoon.

REFRESHING BATHS.

Lavender for the Morning Sponge and
Milk of Roses for the Face.
Here is an English recipe for laven-
der water, which the writer can recon-
mend as delightful and refreshing
quite necessary adjunct to the bath
! on warm day:
Take two and one-half quarts of
recti6ed spirits, two and one-half
ounces of essential oil of lavender. one
ounce of oil of bergamot, four drops of
essence of ambergris and one-half
ounce of orris root digested with it.
There is also another recipe quite
similar-three drains each of oil of
lavender and oil of bergamot, six drops
each of oil of cloves and altar of roses,
one dram of true oil of rosemary, one
ounce of honey, three scruples of ben
zoic acid, one pint of rectified spirits
and three ounces of distilled water.
Still another recipe also English in
origin requires, four drains of oil OF
lavender, twenty drops each of essence
of bergamot, essence of lemon, altar OF
roses, one dram of essence of amber
girls, three pints rectifed spirits, four
ounces of orange flower water, twelve
ounces of rose water and twenty grains
of burnt alum. Shake frequently and
then put in cool place for some days
before filtering, when you will have
lavender water both delightful ed re.
freshing.
Milk of roses is a perfectly harmless
preparation for the skin, which is well
worth trying upon occasions, when, foi
| instance, the skin is dry, or has been
tanned by exposure to the sun and
wind.
Almond oil, as every one knows, car
never harm any skin, and this with
sweet and bitter almonds constitutes q
good share of the mixture, which /.
made in the following way:
Blanch five ounces of sweet almond.
and one ounce of bitter almonds; beat
them until quite smooth, with one
half ounce of white curd soap and one
half pint of rose water. Melt one-hall
ounce oil of sweet almonds. two ounce.
