He Smelied Them.

A certain missionary spoke in a pray
er meeting one evening at a village
where a convention of Spiritualists was
being held. OF course, the missionary
made some pointed remarks about cor
sulting wizards that peep and mutter
in the dark" Next morning as he was
passing the village hotel he was ac-
costed by an individual, who seemed to
be suffering from redness of eyes
through tarrying long at the wine cup.
and the following conversation ensued:
Good morning, sir. You're a minis
ter, amt you?"
mo, sir; l am a missionary"
well, anyway, you are a preacher.
Now, sir. Why is itlhat yog fellows talk
SO much against SpiritualiSn? Why,
a If you only knew the comfort it
gives Us to know that we can converse
with our departed friends and know
that they are happy'-here the Spirit
ualist became excited and his eyes
rolled as he cried out, 81 can see their
bright spirits lowering around me now
Look, sir! looki don't you see them"
mo, my friend" said the missionary,
Il do no see them, but l can smell them,
and mighty bad spirits they are, too"

The Hygiene of Laughter.

The truth in the proverb Laugh and
grow fat" is well explained by the Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer:
1t has been aptly said that there is
not the remotest corner of the inlet of
the minute blood vessels of the human
body that does not feel some wavelet
from the convulsions occasioned by
good hearty laughter. The life prin-
ciple of the central man is shaken to it's
innermost depths, sending new tides of
life and strength to the surface, thus
materially tending to insure good
health to the persons who indulge
therein. The blood moves rapidly, and
conveys a different impression to all
the organs of the body, as it visits them
on that particular mystic journey when
the man is laughing, from what it does
at other times. For this reason every
good, hearty laugh in which a person
INDUCES tends to lengthen his life, con-
veying as it does new and distinct
stimulus to the vital forces.

His Idea OF 4 Christian.

A few years since, I was holding re-
viVal services in a town in North Caro-
lima. At one service, by request of the
pastor Of the church whom I was as
sisting, l requested the members to re-
main after the congregation was dis
missed. When the outsiders were gone,
we began to get confessions from one
and another of past sins, with promises
of repentance and amendment Of life.
At.length, one brother arose and said:
Il have been a member of this church
since I was IA years of age Che was then
49, Of course, 1 have not always lived
right, but l have never done anything
worthy of being turned out of the
church. L have been drunk several
times, had a good many fights. and
been swearing-the fact is, I am under
the influence of liquor all the time. But
I try to be a gentleman about it. want
you all to pray for me that 1 may hold
out faithful, die happy and get home to
heaven""-James R. Jones, Greensboro,

Had the Geese In His Drum.

The following good story Is old In
connection with the Forty-eighth Geor-
gia regiment: AS the regiment was on
the march to Gettysburg some OF the sol
diers stepped out of the ranks ana con-
fiscated a couple of geese. and one OK
the drummers unheaded his drum n
put the captured birds in 1t. Shortly
afterward the colonel came along. n
noticing the drummer failed TO give
his usual drum whacks. o up n
said:
why don't you beat that drum?
Colonel said the startled man, L
want to speak to you"
We'll. wha have you to say?"
The drummer whispered:
Colonel. I've got a couple of geese
in here"
The colonel Strengthened PIP and said:
well, if you are sick you neednt
play" and then rode on.

He Kept i'm the Middle.

In a day when sham misosynists are
as plentiful as blackberries in summer
it is refreshing to read of q man whose
misogyny was real and consistent. He
was a rich old bachelor of Vienna, and
his dislike of women was 50 strong that
he always purchased three seats at a
theater and sat in the middle II to
avoid the possibility of sitting next to
a woman. When he died 1t was found
that he had continued his prejudice to
he grave, and had ordered the pur-
chase of three graves in the middle one
of which he desired to be buried.-Phila.

THE FINANCIAL DEBATE
Mr.. Harvey Declares That Silver Coinage
VIII Alone Restore the Balance.

Mr.. Harvey Declares That Silver Coinage
VIII Alone Restore the Balance.
CHICAGO, July c6-The Horr-Harvey
silver debate was continued this after
noon under about the usual conditions.
Mr.. Horr opened the discussion by
saying that the 4i2I grain silver dol
lars coined between the years 1s53 and
1873 were all coined at the Philadel-
phia mint and from foreign silver
coins which had accumulated in the
treasury under an act of congress
which made them receivable but did
lot permit them to be paid out again.
That was why silver was coined at less
than Its bullion value. After 1853 the
government did not coin a dollar of
silver for private ownership.
Mr.. Harvey in reply denied the state
ment and declared that Mr.. Horn
could not prove it. He presented a
mint statement showing that over
$500. 900 in silver dollars had been
coined at the mint at Carson City,
New, in 1870.
Mr.. Harvey then resumed the dis
cussion of the question of primary and
credit money. He said that as soon as
there was an over-issue of credit
money, it caused distrust of the gov
ernment's ability to pay. This caused
a run on the treasury for the re-
demption of credit money and the
only remedy was to either in
crease the amount of the primary
money, or decrease the amount
of credit one The amount of
gold in the United States was estimated
at from $500, OOO, 900 to 100000, 900, and
of credit money at about 81 ,OOO, OOO,-
BOO. This was too much credit money,
and accounted for the country's finan-
cial arrangement. The remedy was to
increase the primary money by remon-
citing silver. Every moments delay
would endanger the safety of the re-
public.

Why Didn't 1t Explode?

A man, near Philadelphia, recently
put fifteen pounds Of powder in the
oven for safe-keeping. The stove was
in a small house to which the men re-
sort at noon to warm and eat their
dinners. The next day a boy built a
fire, as usual, and soon after eight men
ate dinner there. lingering in n
around the place until L o'clock. In the
afternoon somebody thought or the
powder, and went to look for 1t. The
hoops had fallen off the keg, and the
keg itself had fallen apart so that the
powder spread over the oven. Some or
it was in a tin pail. which was unsol-
dered. and a piece of fuse had the tar
fried out of it. Why it was not set on
fire is the mystery that is now the
chief topic of conversation down that
way.

CARRIE LANE
No Official Report of the Affair Iade as
Yet to Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The reported
firing on the Carrie E. Lane, an Amer
lean schooner, by a Spanish cruiser off
the Cuban coast, has not yet been re-
ported officially to the state depart
ment, and in the absence of any defin-
tie statement, the officials decline to
express an opinion on the subject.
The important point to be estab-
lished in this ease is the exact loca-
tion of the Lane when she was
signalled to stop. The captains
statement is that this was off Cape
Antonio, but he does not say whether
or not he was in the three mile limit.
If he was he could not claim exemption
from responding to a demand to es-
tablish his identity, as was contended
by Secretary Gresham in the Alliance
case, FOR his was not a vessel following
a regular route, but one cruising from
port to port in the West indies. In
view of the fact that several flibus-
tering expeditions have succeeded in
landing in Cuba from the coaSt
of Jamaica and other of the West In
dian islands, officials here are not sur
prised hat the Spanish commanders
should exercise every precaution to
make sure of the innocent purpose of
any small sailing craft seen lowering
about the Cuban coasts, and it is felt
that this particular commander acted
within his rights if he fired a shot
across the Lanes bow if she failed to
stop when ~sigralled in regular form.
The small size and appearance of the
schooner, it is said, was against her.
and calculated TO excite SUSPICION as
to her object.

Had a Circus at Homo.

The pug dog in a Lewiston household
swallowed a spool OF twist the other day
and the boy Of the house discovered him
paving at the end which hung from his
mouth. The boy forthwith had the
racket of his life. He unwound fifty
yards of No. B from the pug and left
tie spool inside, and the establishment
of the dog was as great as the sport Of
the boy. The head of the family said
that he himself dropped a stitch in his
side and that he will have that dog Ii
eensed just for the sake of the memory
Of the affair. He can't look the dog N
the face without laughing.

WYOMING INDIAN TROUBLES.
h Whites Determined and Propose to
Settle the Red Man..

The Whites Determined and Propose to
Settle the Red Man.
.RAwLISs, Wyo., July 2.-Warren
Smith passed through here direct
from the Jackson's Hole country. He
reports that the settlers are in good
heart and that they will attack a body
of Indians if they show up. They told
him that the var was on and that now
was the time to fight it out. Either
the white settlers owned hat country
or the Indians, and they were willing
to fight for their rights, only asking
their friends on the outside to send
them arms and ammunition.
When told hat United States troops
would be thrown in there Smith ex-
pressed the hope that it would be done
quickly, for he feared chat the con-
fidencc of the settlers in their own
strength was not well founded. He
said that there come daily reports of
bands of Indians in different parts of
the mountains and those it was pro-
posed by the settlers to hunt out and
capture. He thought that the settlers
were fast losing sight of n idea of
simply enforcing the law, and, to use
his own language, They are SO much
in earnest that they are wild. The pop
ular thing in Jackson's Hole is to at
tach yourself to a posse and hunt the
Indians"
Adjutant General Sitter of Wyo-
ming, who was at Market Lake to-day,
was hourly expecting to hear that a
conflict had occurred between the set
tiers and the Indians in the Jackson
Hole valley. Two of his messengers
dispatched to that district several days
ago, have not returned, although over
due, and grave fears are now enter
tanned that they have been ambushed
by the Indians.
Indian police who have returned
from the Fall river valley where the
big trading powwow has been in pro-
gress for a week, say that the band of
Bannock Indians under the leadership
of Jim Ballard has started north
toward the seat of the trouble. If
these Indians reach the belligerents in
the Fall river valley before the troops
get there-and they undoubtedly will
the result may be disastrous, for
Billiards. band is composed of the
worst clement of the Bannocks,
always ready for a quarrel, even in

ton has had to contend with.

RUMORS OF A BATTLE,
Twenty White Men Said to Have Been

Twenty White Men Said to Have Been
Killed by Bannock Indians.
Boise CITY, Idaho, July GA mail
driver at Market Lake reports that a
courier arrived at ReXburg, Idaho,
from Jackson's Hole with a report that
a fight occurred Tuesday evening and
twenty white men were killed. If true
it is strange that the courier has not
yet reached Market Lake, as the driver
says that he was bound for that point
to telegraph for help. There is no
way of verifying the rumor. Market
Lake is the nearest railway station to
where the Indians are located.
a courier came into Market Lake
last night and related that the Indians
had given the white people three days
to desist from their eff, rts to suppress
the killing of game Or leave the coun-
t"y.
