The Drain of Gold.

WASHINGTON, December 9.-The
statement is made among those best
qualified to Judge, that in the absence
of legislation to relieve the financial
situation, another bond issue is alto
gether probable within the next few
months at the furthest.
The present condition in the ex-
change market and the commercial
situation generally, it is said, points
Enthusiastically to large Withdrawals Of
gold and without something is done
to prevent the usual heavy exports
during January and February, which
for the last two years have forced an
issue of bonds to recoup the depleted
gold reserve, a similar situation will
confront the treasury before the new
year is far advanced. The available
cash balance i'll the Treasury to-day,
including the reserve, is approximate
ly Sl75, 100000 and as the Government
has realized from it's three bond is
sues about s192,000,000 it appears that
but for these issues the Government
would now be without money in the
treasury. In addition it would have
outstanding obligations amounting
to to about $500, 900. The excess
Of expenditures ove receipts amount
to about $4,000, 900.
The exports of gold during the last
four months have been s55, 796, 900
and so far this calendar year amounts
to $4,000, O00. In 1894 the exports
amounted to S1O1, 9l9,921. From the
best information obtainable it is esti-
mated that the present month will
show a surplus of at least 81 100000,
which will leave a deficit for the fiscal
year to January LIST of aboutS150,OOO,
600. 1t is expected that this amount
will not be materially increased dur
ing the remaining months Of the fis-
cal year.

Lincoln Said the Song became the Prop.

Noah Brooks in Tho Century, in his per-
eonal "reminiscences of Lincoln, writing of
the receipt of news of Lees surrender,
says:
As the forenoon wore on an impromptu
procession came up from the navy yard,
dragging six boat howitzers, which were
fired through the streets as they rolled on.
This crowd, re-enforced by the hurrahing
lcgions along the route speedily swelled to
enormous proportions and filled the whole
area in front of the White House, where
guns were fired and bands played while
the multitude waited for n speech. Tho

I'D in Bear valley two summers ago
came across a camp where a thin, beard
ed, bronzed man of about 80 was cutting
wood before a small "a" tent. In the tent
were many scientific works, including a
set of Encyclopedia Britannica. Engaging
him in conversation, l found he was a
prospcctor who had come in from the des-
ert to let his burros rest and fatten on the
grass. He had come down from Pahrumph
valley across the burning desert in the hot
test part of the summer.
II stopped at Vanderbilt" said he
"and made several locations, one of which
l think will prove valuable, but 1 got tired
and moved on and am now on my way to-
ward southern Arizona"
l asked him how he liked the desert, and
he replied that he liked it better than any
other place
"See said he as he flung open the front
of his shirt, 81 wear no clothing when on
the desert.
His breast was deep copper color, even
to his armpits and fully bore out his state
ment. His conversation proclaimed him
to be an educated man, and he said his
books were part Of his camp outfit and
accompanied him wherever he went. He
volunteered no other information regard
ing himself, and his bearing was such Us
to preclude any questioning but l have
often wondered what could have caused
him to choose such q mode of life. OF one
thing l am sure-he will follow no othef.

from Khoraseln that we have some diff

latcs that on leaving the town of Kutschan

WHAT A WHALING !!
Remedies Have Great Picnic
With the New BedfordS.
Our Boys Play Perfect Ball and
Trounce EN- 6 to a,
A Game Worth Seeing-We Will Repeat The
Dose Today.

The Remedies are still In it. No prettier
game of ball has been seen at the Augusta
driving park than that between the New
Bedfords and Kennebecs, yesterday after
noon. Dilworth was in the box for the
home team, and pitched mastery game,
being specially effective at critical points.
The team supported him without an error.
The New Bedfords, too, put up a great
fielding game and outbatted the Kenne-
bees, but were unable to bunch their hits
The Remedies won the game in the
sixth inning. Butler led off with hit
to third, which was too hot for Delaney to
handle Common followed with a safe hit.
Doherty hit to Delaney, who fumbled,
and the runner was safe Pickett cleared
the bases with three Dagger, and scored
on hit by Kelley. Buckley and Dilworth
were both retired, Delaney to Brming-
ham. Viau was safe on an error by
Delaney, Kelley scoring.
The New Bcdfords made an attempt to
win out in the eighth inning, but two
runs were the best they could do These
were made on hits by Nyce, Weihl and
Birmingham.
The crowd was an enthusiastic one, and
the cheering at times was almost deafen-
ing. "Trilby" Sharp came In for fair
share of attention, but, for some reason,
the corpuent catcher seemed to lack his
usual buoyancy OF spirits, and the spark
ling flow OF wit that was once wont to en-
liven his play and distract attention from
his shape. was noticeably absent.
The wilowy Weihl was as irrepressible
as ever His bean pole form was quite
plenty on the coaching line; but his jaw
boncs-and no player, since the days Of
Samson, has had larger ones-were
principally employed in an alteration
wit his fellow players.
The game was the cleanest one wo have
ever seen the New Bedfords play. Mana
ger Doe was not present to see the
slaughter of his pets, being detained by
an effort to adjust his business affairs
with the Queen City people.
Today's game at the Augusta driving
park will probably give the people of the
Kennebec valley the opportunity to sec
two new faces on the home team. ,.

There is little doubt that an immense
number Of persons habitually sleep on the

it is said, be strictly healthy. According
to an exchange, 1t Is the most prolific
C, use of nightmare and also of the IN
pleasant taste in the mouth ce arising in

tie stomach on the right side, and hence
sleeping on the left side soon after eating
involves a sort of pumping operation,
which is anything but conducive to sound

seriously intcrfered with and the lungs

cultivate the habit of always sleeping on

ANOTHER LINCOLN STORY.
It's Wise Man Who Knows His Own
Home After housekeeping.

81 never had the pleasure, " said Score
tary Morton the other day, "of any near
or particular acquaintance with Abraham
Lincoln / have had him described to mo
often, however, by men close TO him and
who knew him well. AS everybody Is
aware, Lincoln was a man of humor rath-
err than wit-fond of good story and
good laugh. Lincoln was not an orderly
man and paid no heed to things about
him. If he had owned a lawn, 1t would
probably have struggled through life I'M
known and gate on one hinge struck
Lincoln as being just as good gate as il
it owned two. Ii good truth, unless men
have romanced beyond reason, Lincoln
was bit shiftless. i recall story about
the great president which Richardson,
once a member of the national house from
Illinois and great friend of Lincoln, told
me.
eve, Lincoln and 1, had been away on
the circuit together" said Richardson.
"The judges and lawyers travelled from
county to county in those days. the former
to hold court and the latter to try what
cases they had and pick up Others. Lin
coin and l had been away some weeks,
and ono afternoon toward the close OF an
early summers day we rW.c into Spring
field, where Lincoln lived
"His yard and the scene about tho house
had been when he left a bit disreputable,
the fence needed mending; the yard lacked
cleaning up, the house wanted coat OF
paint, some of the windows exhibited
broken pane, while odd and irritating
punches of brambles and clumps Of locust
shoots cried for the scythc and bush hook.
This was the condition when Lincoln left.
But during his absence Mrs Lincoln had
instituted a campaign of her own. AS we
drove up to the place we found the fence
repaired the yard mown and clean, every
pane of glass was in, and the house glis-
tened and shone in n coat of white paint.
Mrs Lincoln herself stood in tho front
door to enjoy the effect of all this order
and restoration on her husband. But on
this occasion he held tho middle of the
road and looked coldly ON the house and
his wife as one who did not recognize eli
ther. He made as if he wanted to go by.
Just opposite the gate, however, he pulled
up his horse and with a face grave enough,
bar a twinkle of the eye, bowed with great
politencss TO Mrs. Lincoln and said, Il beg
your pardon, madam, but can you tell mo
who lives hore?'
" Send your horses to tho barn, and

THE COMMON SNAIL.
An Air Breathing Creature That Can Live
on Indefinitely without Air.

The common snail has lungs, heart and
a general circulation and is in every re-
spect an air breathing creature. This not
withstanding, he can live on indefinitely
without inhaling the least atom of air
that which is usually considered tho es-
scntial to existence in all creatures sup
piled with lungs. Leppert says, "To all
organized creatures the removal of oxy-
gen, water, nOurishment and heat causes
death to enSue." When that statement
was made, ho does not appear to consider
the snail as enc among the great host OF
"organizcd beings " for the experiments
made by Professor Spallanzani prove that
any or all tho usual life conditions can be
removed in its case without terminating
its existence or in any way impairing its
functions.
1t Is n fact well known that the com
mon land snail retreats into his shell on
the approach of frosty weather in the fall,
and that the opening or mouth of tho
Shell is Theoretically sealed by a secretion
which is of silky texture and absolutely
impervious to both air and water In this
condition it is plain that he is deprived of
three out of the four elements of life men
toned by Leppert-viz, air, water and
| nourishmcnt.
Taken after he has been thus handicap
ped for months, hemay be plunged into q
chemical mixture 100 degrees colder than
| tho degree marked at Fahrenheit's zero
and allowed to remain in that chilly So
| luton for weeks. Yet as soon as restored
| to normal temperature life is renewed, and
the snail soon rogains his natural powers,
| clips the silken curtain from his house
door and begins to feed as naturally as
| though just awakening from winters
| sleep. Spallanzani kept q snail of the
great helix family Theoretically sealed in q
| glass tube, from which all air had been
carefully removed, for a period of four
years and two months, yet he declares
that the creature regained all its normal
| functions within less than an hour after
| being exposed to a temperature of 80 de-
| grees.-St. Louis Republic.
