Some Of the silverites are profuse in
their protests that they only want BIZ
metallism and do not wish to cease
using gold as standard Of values or to
drive it out Of circulation. But it is
only necessary to read the papers and
speeches in which the free coinage doc
trine is preached to see that, while pre-
tending to favor using gold, they really
want silver alone. The wholesale de-
nunciation Of gold as "money Of the
rich," as ga standard which robs
debtors for the benefit Of creditors, !"
ETC., shows that it is not merely love
Of silver, but hatred Of gold, which
inspires these attacks. Why not be hon
est, Messrs Silverites, and admit that
i'll advocating policy which, on the
confession of that eminent bimetallist,
President f. 3. Andrews, "would drive
all our gold out of the country" you
are working for the silver standard:

The Safe Basis For Silver Coinage.

A sign that the silverites are begin
ming to realize that free coinage at 16
to is an impossibility is found in the
demand by some silver organs for the
coinage at that ratio Of all silver pro-
duced in the United States. But this
scheme is just as absurd as the proposal
to open our mints to the worlds stores
Of silver. No tariff would be able to
keep foreign silver out of this country if
it was valued here at higher rate than
its commercial value. Even though the
importation of bullion was prohibited,
it would be easy to bring in silver table
ware, ETC., which would be melted
down. The idea Of coming all United
States silver will not stand examination.
The only safe basis is to coin as much as
can be maintained at parity with gold.
AS soon as our supply Of the latter metal
increases to proper amount we may
venture to coin more silver. But not till
then

QUEER LANGUAGE.


The "CamphOr Tongue" of - Wild but In.
offensive Race.
One Of the queerest languages in the
world used for the queerest purposes,
is the "camphor language" Of Johore,
n country of the Malay peninsula. 1t has
lately been studied and reported upon
by Mr.. Lake, an English engineer in
the service of the sultan of Johore. This
language is called the "Pantang Ka-
por," or camphor language, and is used
by the natives and all others who are
engaged in gathering the product Of the
Malayan camphor tree and only at that
time. If they used either Of the Ian
guages Of the region, the Malay or the
aboriginal Jakun, the natives believe
that they could not obtain any camphor,
and for most curious reason. The cam
phor tree, Dryoblanops camphora, grows
abundantly in certain parts of the Pc
ninsula, but only occasionally contains
camphor crystals. The camphor is not
the same as that obtained from the cam
phor laurel Of Formosa and Japan,
which is the source of the ordinary CAM
phor Of commerce 1t is q sort very
highly priced by the Chinese in tho en-
balming Of their dead, in incense and in
medicine, aud the gum brings much
more than the common camphor.
The Malayans and other Johore ma
tives believe that each species Of tree
has spirit or divinity that presides
over its affairs. The spirit Of the CAM
phor tree is known by the name Of BIZ
san-literally "a woman. Her resting
place is near the trees, and when at
night peculiar noise is heard in the
woods, resembling that Of cicada, the
Bisan is believed to be singing, and
camphor will surely be found in the
neighborhood But the spirit Of the CAM
phor tree seems to be jealous Of the pre-
cious gum and must be propitiated, and
if she knows that hunters are in quest
of it she will endeavor to turn their
steps aside. So it is necessary to speak
in tongue which she does not undE-
stand For this purpose the "camphor
language" has been invented. 1t con-
sists Of mixture Of Jakun and Malay
words, but these are curiously altered
and reversed, and the natives positively
believe that the divinity of the camphor
tree is completely confused. The Jakuns
who hunt the camphor are one Of the
widest of people, but inoffensive. They
live together with monkeys, dogs, cats,
innumerable fowls and perhaps tame
lNrnbill in perfect harmony under NOV
able leaf shelters built on poles in the
woods. Boston Traveller.

Young Mr.. Smithers, having eaten an
excellent dinner, sat down to smoke a
good cigar while his wife ran up stairs

A HOTEL GHOST.
The Narrative Of q Singular Experience Of
Lord and Lady Dunraven.


Lord and Lady Dunraven.
Apropos Of a report that the Brevoort
House was to be closed, which was de-
MED, however, there is story that Lady
Dunraven has been known to tell about
the famous old inn. The countess is de-
scribed by those who know her as wo-
man much more inclined to common
sense than to ghost haunted Cock lanes,
even with DR.. Johnsons authority. She
used to tell the facts in the tale simply
for what they were worth.
1t was more than one decade ago,
years before the Vallyrie was thought
of, when Lord Dunraven was first inter-
ested i'll the mining regions Of northern
Michigan. He and Lady Dunraven were
staying in New York for few days be-
fore starting west and had taken rooms
at the Brevoort-pleasant rooms, with
o view Of the avenue and nice glimpse
Of Washington square The first night,
being tired with their voyage, they went
early to bed, but, as it happened, not SO
early to sleep. Both the earl and count
ess were blessed with hearty English
constitutions. They were not at all ac-
customed to lying awake till the small
honors
They wondered what they could have
done, what they could have eaten or
drank to afflict them with such gratui-
tous vigilance. Just at venture finally
they bundled themselves out into the
adjoining parlor, made themselves ex-
tempore couches there and slept soundly
till morning. Next night and the night
after there was the same wakefulness
and in the end the same migration to
the adjoining room for relief They be-
gan to think they should have to leave
town earlier than they had planned, for
they would not for the world have made
any pretext to shift chambers.
The explanation of the mystery, if it
was all explanation, came out by chance.
They had a call before long from an old
time New Yorker whom they had met
in England, all authority on all matters
pertaining to the towns minor history.
81 wonder" he remarked casually,
THAT they should have given you these
rooms. You know it was in that room
there, not so long ago, that Mr.. u
hanged himself" 1t was in that room
that Lord and Lady Dunraycn had tried
in vain to sleep, and they exchanged sig
nificant chances OF course it was only
coincidence, they said, but the next
day they took their departure for the
west. New York Tribune

Rhyme Of the Ancient Populist.
1t was an ancient Populist,
His beard was long and gray,
And punctuated by his fist
He had his little say:
"This Is the age Of gold," he said.
IT'S gold for butter, gold for bread,
Gold for bonds and gold for fun,
Gold for all things meath the sum-"
Then with a smile
He shook his head.
"Just wait awhile"
He slyly said
"When we get in and run the state,
Well tackle gold; We'll legislate.
Well pass an act
And make fact
BY which these goldbugs will be whacked
Till they're as cold
AS Is their gold.
We're going to make statute law by whick
twill be decreed
That standards arc abolished, for standard

"a splendid scheme" quoth I.
"But stay

"Ha, ha! Ho, hot" he loudly reared.
"We'll leave that problem to the Lord.

WHICH Is RIGHT
Two Assertions Of the Si1verites That Arc
Sadly Conflicting.

Two Assertions Of the Silverites That Arc
Sadly Conflicting.
The two legs on which the free silver
argument lamely limps are two asser-
lions which fatty contradict each other.
The first is the statement that with free
coinage at 16 to the commercial value
Of silver will advance until 16 ounces Of
silver will equal in value one ounce Of
gold. This claim is backed up by the oft
repeated charge that it was the alleged
demonstration of silver in 1878 which
caused the value of that metal to fall,
and it is urged that free coinage would
at once restore its old value.
The second assertion Of the silverites
is their claim that free coinage would
stop the fall in prices which they all in
sist is due to our financial policy. They
have won the support Of the farmers
solely because they denounced our pres
ent currency system as one which makes
money scarce and dear and have prom
Used that free coinage will make money
cheap and plentiful. In fact, their very
strongest plea for unlimited silver is
their claim that it would double the
prices Of farm products by measuring
them in cheaper money. And if it would
not do so it certainly could not help the
farmer.
Here then are the plain statements Of
the silyerites:

MARRY THEIR JUNIORS.
A Number of Reasons that Are Adj
vanced for 1t.

A Number of Reasons that Are ADJ
vanced for 1t.
A late conversation between a num-
Der of women CHANGED to fall upon the
common occurrence of women marry
ing their juniors, says the New York
Times. it was remarked that these
marriages were almost invariably hap
py ones. One of the group ventured
the opinion that the reason for this
lay in the wisdom gained with years
by the wife, and in the knowledge thus
attained as to how to manage her hus-
band. Another thought that man
always wanted his wife to mother"
him. and was best satisfied when she
did; while she was naturally satisfied
by his satisfaction. A third was sure
that to take care of others was wo-
mans true vocation and the secret de-
sire of her heart, and that this calling
was most entirely entered upon when
the selfshness of extreme youth was
past, and when the husband was
younger than herself. Whatever the
cause. the fact remains that of
these matches, which do seem to be
made in heaven, almost all make a
little heaven below.
One of the takers contributed her
quota of the stories of remarkable diff
ferences in years between man and
wife. A one-time Bishop of Maryland,
she said, married a woman who had
been one of his mothers bridesmaids,
and who had made his own christen-
ing robe. He was so devotediy at
tached to her that when she died from
extreme old age he mourned her mem

place, all the rest of his life
