I will make his shoes fit him little more fondly than ever they did, and that will distract his mind so that he will not feel my departure so keenly. For have it in my mind to go back to Dachshund Sweinfurst, and see how he stacks up since my success sor crowded him onto the reef.''
 Thus speaking she poured into the shoes the prescription, from her own formula, of 1nucilage, vox hooperup, clamayi extravagans and stuff Calor- icus. Then she went out and walked in the direction of her old home, saying: George will not at science laugh when that impression by both feet takes of him lead pipe cinch, once"

And this is our home?" Calliope gazed about the shabby room with a disappointed air. It was plainly but not ostentatiously furnished with the trunk which she had taken the fore sight to bring with her. There had been a bedstead in the corner, but Lang- shanks had broken up all the slats for frewood.
 "Dr. Lierbier says, in his Evolution of the Family that nothing in this world has brought so much unhappi- ness and misery into homes as nova ble bed slats," Langshanks remarked eNplanatorily.
 .Langshanks," she said. with bitter smile, you are suspicious, ungenerous- ly suspicious" And then she added: "This is not like the home which I have left to come to you."
 s'No," he said, "I fancy it is not. You lived in the lap of elegant luxury, I know"
 ..Yes," she said, q was smothered with affiuence. Is this the only room you have?"
 "It is" replied Langshanlxs, "and there isn't another one to be had in this building I selected this location to checkmate any move on the part of your mother toward domiciling herself with us.'

 Edouard Langshanks was at home. He was hard at work on his new poem, ''The Incarnation of Purity" but he at once dismissed the typewriter, turned his cuffs, and was ready to accompany Calliope.
 As they stood at the door of the Sweinfurst mansion, the master of the house suddenly burst forth upon them. and laid hold of Langshanks by the throat with one hand while he felt for his knife with the other.
 "Dachshund, Sweinfurst," said Cal Hope with a disgust she was ill able to dissemble, q always detested you; I hated you from the first sight of you. If you continue acting in this emotion al manner, it will end in my dislil1ing you"
 At that instant a distraction occurred. George Meadowlark came leaping and prancing down the street. His face was liVid with agony, and he shriel1ed as he bounded into the little group.
 George Meadowlark, i" said Calliope, calmly, "control yourself Are you aware that you impress everyone who sees you with the belief that you are giving way to your feelings?''
 But George Afeadowlarl1 grasped her by the hair, which unexpectedly held fast, and beat her brains out upon the door step, while Dachshund Sweinfurst was cutting the heart out of Edouard Langshanlzs. As he arose from the completion of this nasty and ill-advised act, George Meadowlark leaped upon him with both feet, and caved his ribs in before he could say the multiplica- tion table. He then closed this un- seemly exhibition of emotion by falling downstairs backwards and breaking his neck.

PRICES AND BAD MONEY.
What Effect the Free Coinage of Silver
 Would Have.

What Effect the Free Coinage of Silver
 Would Have.
 The combined influence of the war demand for goods, of the increase of tax ation and of the depreciation of the cur rency reduced the purchasing power of an average days labor by more sthan one-third during the period which elapsed between the year 1860 and the year 1865. The rise in prices was very rapid, the rise in wages was very slow. Such are always the conditions when ever there is any monetary legislation by which prices are affected.
 It has sometimes been held that the rise in prices in this period was wholly due to the increased consumption of the war. This is not consistent with the facts. The product of the northern and western states increased in quan- tity even during the worst periods of the war, and would have fully sufficed to meet all war demands upon it to- gether with the customary demands of peace; that is to say, the increase in the quantity of products of the loyal states was greater than the increase in popu- lation, while the extension of the rail- way service cheapened distribution. Hence it followed that those members of the community, both of the north and west, who derived their incomes mainly from profits, secured through the rise in prices constantly increas- ing proportion of an increasing quan- tity of products; while that much greater number of persons who derived their income from wages, earnings or small salaries secured year by year lessening share, even as comparedto the lesser product of previous years. It was under these conditions that the rich in fact grew richer and the poor in fact grew relatively poorer under the influence of bad finance and bad money. such being the necessary results of tam pering in any manner with the unit or standard of value by increasing the quantity of lawful money while de- basing it's quality. That is what the advocates of the free coinage of silver are attempting at the present time Silver coin which hammered smooth is worth but fifty per cent. of it's nominal value is bad money-Harper's Weekly.
 ....If silver advances even two or three cents a year that gap between it and gold may soon be bridged. Gold production is growing so rapidly that that metal may decline in price. An advance in silver and a decline in gold if kept up long enough, would solve the silver problem in way that would be satisfactory to the country. Let Bland and Stewart wait and see what these African diggers do for gold.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

 But" exclaimed the young man in astonishment, q thought you hated him.
 q detest him." cried Calliope, "I shudder with unutterable loathing when he approaches me. But for that reason I must marry him. We do not begin to live until we begin to suffer will suffer; then I will live.'
 But Sweinfurst--" began young Langshanks.
 "He also will suffer" said Calliope T will see to that. Then his life shall be transformed, and I will love him. ?
 q am dumb with grief" moaned the young man. And when are you to be married?.
 ''The next time see him." Calliope replied; "because I cannot live without you much longer"

''Why do you drive a one-eyed horse, George Meadowlark ?" asked Calliope on one of those rare occasions when she met her new husband, and went driv- ing with him to render the occasion less irlzsome and irritating.
 q did not always do so,' replied George Meadowlarl, reaching toward the whip with tenderness that was habitual with him; but one day last week the brute shied at a road roller and burned his eye out with red-hot poker. If he shies at anything on the other side, will gouge his ot4er eye out with a nail grab, and then he will quit his foolishness. Brute or human,

 Calliope saw the man, who was wear ing crutehes and had his head band aged. T see him." she said, perceiving that evasion was useless.
 Well" said George Meadowlarl1, The was a case brought before our so- ciety. He has splendid wife; one of the most grandly unselfsh and progress sive women in this universe. She had been married but five times when she met this fellow and bestowed herself upon him.

"JUMPl"

'Do they all come in?' asked one of the angels who escorted the mis-as- sorted quartette to the gates of pearl.
 And the bearers wiped the beaded precipitation from their brows, for it was the heaviest load they had carried to Heaven since Robert Browning brought in Judas Iscariot with brand new martyrs crown on his head.
 "Yes," replied Saint Peter, "bring them all in; that's the amended consti- tuition. Somehow or other, some way or other, some time or other, it all comes around kind of right, and every body who has been wicked enough to deserve it gets in here on equal terms
 'How about the other place, then ?" asked one of the angelic messengers.
 "Oh," replied the saint, "haven't you heard? Everything is changed down below: Fires banked; lake boarded over for skating rink; and they are getting up the scenery for long run with 'Trilby,' Hearts Insurgent' and Casa Braccio.' Bring them in"
 As the happy shades passed inside, gaunt hollow-eyed missionary who had died of starvation, jungle fever and tiger bite in the heart of a wilderness of heathendom, where he had preached and wrought for 37 years, tried to get in with them. But the saint firmly, al- though not unl1indly, barred his way.
 ''Now, see here, my friend" he said kindly, don't you know this won't do at all? You've been told that, often enough" Turning to the angel who accompanied the man, he said: ''This fellow has been making trouble on the earth all his life; he has combatted some of the oldest notions and hoariest religions on earth; he has disturbed mems conscience, and un- settled their convictions, and dis tracted their minds until communi- ties among the most cultured and pro- gressiye districts in western Cuba, the Congo valley and Central Tartary have cried out against him, to say nothing of New York, and Boston, and Chicago. Why, I've known men killed, when I was on the earth, for preaching the very doctrines this man has been teaching. We can't have him here Those peo- pie who just went in wouldn't stay with us ten minutes ifw began letting in preachers, Sunday school teachers, and that sort of people. Now, go away" he continued, turning to the dis appointed applicant, that's good fel- low; go back to the earth if you can't do any better, and see if you can't get a chance to try it over again. Then you can get rid of your old-fashioned no- tions, adopt progressive ideas, run away with another mans wife, let the heathen alone, and commit enough deviltry to entitle you to some sort of recognition here on the modern basis"

of being correct. "My mother disap- proved of the step was about to take in coming here and poisoned her last week"
 "Good enough" cried Langshanks "Did she leave you anything?"
 "Nothing but her burial 1noney-$T5. She had an old-fashioned notion that she would like to be buried in a mahog- any coffin.
 .Nonsense,'' replied the young man. "I can get her cremated at the gas works for five dollars. Gimme the spuds."
 He took the money and went out. He did not return for three days. And when he did come home, he was carry ing a full-favored jag, all wool and a yard wide, on both shoulders. He fell all the way downstairs with it twice before he got half way up once. And, at last, with the philosophical indiffer- enee of man who does not know what he is doing, and doesn't care how he does it, he fel; asleep on the landing outside the door. His trance lasted until the following morning. Then, entering his room, he found it empty. A note wrapped on the handle of the waterpitcher (pronounced jug) attract cd his wandering gaze. It was written in Calliope's well-l1nown advanced chirography, diagonally across the pa per, eight or ten words to the page, TO date, and the signature crowded of to the top of the table,
 'I have gone to live with your uncle, George Meadowlark. I shall be sorry if this step gives you pain, but that will be good for both of us Moreover, it will teach you not to lie around the house all day, and to give woman some little time to herself. Your Uncle George is secretary of the Society for the Higher Demesticity of the Homes of the Upper Middle Classes: con sequently will not see him at home oftener than twice or three times a month, when he will want a clean shirt
 "P. s. The key Is under the door mat When you go out leave some milk in a saucer for the cat. Bow the shutters, and De sure you leave the fly screens fn.''
 Langshanl1s caught himself by the hair with both hands and led himself unand down the room several times.
 eThis will break my heart" he ex- claimed, hoarsely. Presently he added: "And l believe that is the only thing about me that isn't broke"
 He paused in his restless pacing, felt in all his pockets, turning them inside out, amid little shower of broken cigars, cloves, bits of chalk and general debris.
 ''Nit!" he exclaimed, as the investi- gation closed and the committee rose, T fear me that I will dine at the sign of the Parmecide, and visit the pump for my bracer. I will go to Dach- shund Sweinfurst, and tell him that his wife has basely deserted me, and that I am Q deeply injured man. This should create between us a bond of mutual sympathy. It seems to me that he is bound either to give me the satis- faction of man of honor, or offer some reparation to my lacerated feelings. However, he is not man of much soul, and it may be that the events which have succeeded his marriage have dis turbed him. He always impressed me as 0 man who was born with emotions, and had not acquired sufficient poise to eradicate them from his system

Free silverites VIII Soon Have Nothing
 to Fire at.
 The silYerites of this country will be eonfounded to learn that the Roths- childs are bimetallists. Whether our western friends will be pleased or shocked by this information we shall not attempt to predict, but we fancy that they will find some difficulty in swallowing all the hard things they have said about this hateful house, who are always "cornering gold" and making money dear in order that they may suck the blood of borrowers all over the world. The information that they are not gold-bugs is printed in the Independent and comes from no less an authority than President Andrews, who quotes it from the Saturday Re- view. Worse and worse, Mir. Andrews says it is a mistake to suppose that the banking interest in Lon don is solid for gold: "London bank CTS are among the most enthusi- astic propagandists of bimetallism." !" Even this does not tell the whole story Great Britain is marching to bi- metallism just as fast as could be ex- pected. English farmers are being ruined by the gold standard, and they know 1t. British merchants trading with silver countries find their capital invested there reduced by one-haIf,', and their present trade with those coun- tries is either ruined or made mere master of gambling. Yet it appears that they are such fools as to continue it. All this leads us to ask: What can be depended on? Must we take back all that we have been saying all these years about Lombard street and Ernest Seyd and the millions raised abroad to bribe congress to commit the crime of 1873? Is there any sure foundation for anything? If the Rothschilds and the London bankers are no longer to serve as target for Bland and Bryan. Black burn and Hardin, Jones and Stewart and the rest, where shall they look for one? May not Wall street be the next to fail them?-N. Y. Post.
