THE BEST POLICY.

| There is at least one man in the Sem ate of the United States who sees straight to the heart of "the financial
 question" That man is Senator David B, Hill. Senator Hill proposes that con- gress shall declare that the true policy of the government requires that it's eff forts should be steadily directed to the establishment of a safe system of bimet- alism wherein gold and silver may be
 maintained at a parity and every other dollar coined or issued by the United States; but if our efforts to establish or maintain such bimetalism shall not be wholly successful, and if for any rea- son our silver coin shall not hereafter be at a parity with gold coin and the equal thereof in value and power in the market and in the payment Of debts, then 1t is hereby declared that the bonds of the United States now or hereafter issued which by their terms are paya- ble in coin shall nevertheless be paid in standard gold dollars, 1t being the policy of the United States that Its creditors shall at all times be paid in the best money in use.
 The resolution embodying this decla- ration didn't receive Immediate con- sideration," because Senator Butler of South Carolina objected. Perhaps there will be so much more objection that 1t will not receive favorable consideration this winter. But it outlines what should be the financial policy of the United States. It is the policy of common hon. esty, a policy which appears to be lit- tie thought of by many of those who are trying to tinker the financial situa- tion. The United States should pay it's debts in the best money there is. It should not seek to take any advantage of it's creditors by paying them in in- ferior money.

MOST EXTRAORDINARY.

The Hartford Post must be little
 more careful It has told the truth
 about some Mantle antics, and now il
 says that the Hinkey- -and-football glo.
 rification at Hartford the other even.
 ing did not fairly represent the Yale Alumni association of that city, in
 whose name it was made. Because the
 Post properly and plainly spoke of the | Mantle antics it has been charged with
 being a foe of the Connecticut National Guard. And because it has properly and plainly spoken about the Hinkey- | and-football glorffication 1t has been
 called "most extraordinary" It is the
 Register that so calls it. and it is be-
 cause we think that the Post may not
 realize just what has befallen it that
 we call its attention to its situation. The
 Post should know that it is bad form to be even Extraordinary" and to be
 "most extraordinary" puts it complete ly out of what the Register would call
 touch" with that which is greatest and
 best in Connecticut, including Yale
 Let the Post pause minute or two in
 it's mad career and think what it is to be ''most extraordinary" It is to be away out of that which is ordinary. It is ordinary to worship football and football players. It is "most extraor- dinary" not to, It was ordinary in the days of ancient Rome to dote upon gladiatorial shows and prominent and efficient gladiators. Those who did not so dote were ''most extraordinary" and they were not popular. The Post can not expect popularity if it continues to be ''most, st,extraordinary." It will there fore show worldly wisdom if it ceases to be so, and turns in and heartily "hollers" for football and the ''Yale spirit" whenever it has an opportunity. It should learn from the Register. It should not whistle against the wind or kick against the bricks. How foolish it is for the Post to be most extraor- dinary' when it can be comfortably and popularly ordinary? Go to, there fore, o pothering Post. Come into the ranks, Join the gang. Be one of us. Watch for the winds that blow and spread your sails for them. Seek the currents that flow and get into them. So shall you be peaceful, popular and ordinary. You have already been called "most extraordinary" by the Register and if you persist you will be publicly and formally put out of our set. Then you will wish you had known enough to be ordinary.

1A GASc0GNn SArE.

There is rejoicing all over the civilized world this morning because La Gas cogne has escaped the fate of the Elbe. No wonder the agent of the French line in New York was hilariously glad when the good news came, and no wonder that some of those who had been waiting for more than week for knowledge of the safety or the loss of loved ones "broke down" when the staunch steamer was heard from. All the details of the eventful voyage will be read with hun gry eagerness, and for a day or two people will have something decidedly interesting to talk about. And all who were ona the unlucky, or lucky, ship will have something to talk about for the rest of their lives.
 AIS well that ends well, and the anx- iety that has been felt will be soon for gotten in the joy that prevails. The passengers and crew of La Gascogne have had a wonderful deliverance. "One shall be taken and the other left" small vessel came over the wide wal ters and struck the doomed Elbe at just the angle and in just the spot to sink her and most of those who had gone down to the sea in her. La Gascogne came safely to land, after having been given up by many, and after apparently being long out of sight of all vessels, both small and large.

found out in time that the critter was so wise that he had dug his hole way up toward a hill so that he could sit up there and watch us pouring water at the other end This put stop to any attempt to drown him out.
 'It was Si that rigged up the trap that finally caught the fellow. He took a big stone weighing bout fifty pounds and suspended it right over the hole. Then he fixed a little stick down below jist as he would set rabbit trap. The old muskrat couldn't get out of the hole noway without hitting that stick, and well, the thing happened two nights later The first night the critter didn't venture out. but the second morning the stone was down, an the old fellow was crushed beneath it.

and I met many reeling through the streets, and now and then saw one

 The drug stores do not sell liquors,
 and they have very few fluids of any
 kind. Their medicines consist of pow
 ders and herbs. Patent medicines are
 as yet unknown in Corea. believe a
 great big business could be done in
 both Corea and China by taking patent
 medicines out there and advertising
 them as wonderful cure-alls, using the

 cially. The field is a virgin one and it
 ought to be worked went into one drug store in Seoul, which was walled
 with cabinets containing drawers about
 six inches square filled with all kinds of I nauseous herbs. There were bags of
 medicine hanging from the roof, and the druggist was squatting on the floor with his hat on making more medicine. 1 The funniest article of household fur niture is the Corean cash box. Every man has his own bank of this kind. It is made of oak wood about two inches thick, and the lock to it weighs several pounds. The money is kept in this box, and is carried about on the backs of | coolies or by servants when a man goes shopping, and in the winter it is put into the Corean safe deposits.
 The Coreans have perhaps the best safe deposit system in the world, but 1t is one that works only during the win ter. All their money Is in Corean cash, which is made in coins of copper and brass about as big as an old-fashioned red cent, with a square hole in the cen- ter. It takes six hundred coins, or three thousand cash, to make an Amer ican dollar. About twenty dollars Is a good load for man, and forty dollars would break down bullock. During the summer the Corean capitalist lends out his money for five per cent. and up- wards a month, very judiciously plac- ing it. In the winter, however, there is liable to be cold and famine, and it might be stolen, or his debtor might not be able to pay, so, as the cold weather approaches, he draws in his cash and puts 1t into his safe deposit vault until spring.
 Every Corean has his own vault. It Is usually his front yard, which is walled off from the street. He has his servant dig this up to depth of about eight feet and then the first cold, frosty night he spreads out layer of this cash in hole and covers it with a coat ing of earth. He has water thrown upon this, so that the cash is imbedded in the mud, and it is watched until Jack Frost freezes it tight. The next night there is another layer of cash and a sec ond coating of mud. This is frozen, and so it goes on until there is solid frozen mass of cash and mud, lying two or three feet below the surface of the ground. On the top of this the ground is also frozen, and the winter is such that the merchant can sleep without fear until spring.

How General Shelby Saved Himself.

 story of how he came near being shot once for foraging
 We couldn't get supplies all the time, and as we had to live we took what we could get. forgot just what it was, but 1t was sixty barrels of whiskey. l think. We got them and the boys warmed up-a barrel of whiskey isn't such big thing in an army, you know The fellow that owned 1t came to me for his pay. told him had no money but ordered my clerk to give him re- quisition on the department He didn't like that, and complained to General Holmes at Little Rock. General Holmes ordered me to restore the property at once. I wrote him how could I? l said, The whiskey, sir, has been issued to the men,
 "Yes," broke in his friend, Colonel J. c. Moore, q know, and you wrote back, too. that if the Confederate government wasn't able to pay for little whiskey, for it to charge it up to your personal account-$250 BOO! "
 But" said General Shelby, "that wasn't the end of it. I got an order at once to consider myself under arrest and report at once at headquarters at Little Rock. travelled down, of course. took a young lad named Mccoy with me.

sizes, there is one new style that is just now being widely copied. It consists of nothing In the world but three rows of beads that curve over the top of the head, like a Roman fillet, joining to- gether low down at the sides of the head. Where the three rows come to- gether knot of flowers is fastened and that is all, but the beads are strung oh
 8 strong spring wire, and the hat, therefore, clasps the head firmly and keeps in place all by itself without pins, strings or anything else. Every one knows what horrid nuisance it Is to fasten on these bits of bonnets. They are so light one cannot tell whether they are on straight or not, and slight brush or even little gust of wind will put them awry. Above all, if they are not on just right they do make one look so dowdy. So the scheme described is enc that Is making rapid headway,
 To show how slight of construction these things are, take headdress that is deemed sufficient for reception wear; 1t is merely long rhinestone buckle through which is drawn white tulle. This extends in little wings on either side, the circle being completed by continuation in a little band of the tulle. The whole effect is that of a wee collar, fitting down over the high knob of hair almost invariably worn on dress occasions. From the front only the buckle and the little wings of tulle show.
