TIE GOOD old democratic IDEA Oh
money was that if workman with a
dollar in his pocket were burned drown,
ed or blown up, and that dollar iouno
with his remains years afterwards, DO
mater how mutilated or discoloreo'
would be worth to his children just a.
much as it was TO him. But to SHOW
how all that has been changed, 1t Is
only necessary to say that if a boy fires
a gun at a silver dollar now, and one
of the shot strikes it, and ne then takes
it to the bank to be changed, all he will
receive for it will be sixty cents, and
that, too, in the same sort OF de-
preciated metal. But the men who
are SO enamored of the silver mine own
ers that they want to give them dol
lar for every sixty cents worth of their
product. persist in crying for the dol
rof The daddies."

A CARD OF THANKs-The Sisters OF
~ St. Mary's Academy wish to offer their
sincere tribute of thanks to the firemen and
citizens of this city for their devoted efforts
last Saturday night to keep the fire fiend''
from attacking the convent. The impending
danger was bravely w4rded off by those high
souled chan pions of the weak; nor could the
biting cold of the night drive them even for a
moment from the post of selfimposed duty.
Next to our Divine Lord Himself, the preser-
walton of the Sisters property was due to the
generous efforts Of those heroic gentleman
who are an honor to humanity. while their
noble deeds prove that even the famous Burke
was mistaken, when he said: The age Of
chivalry is gone; that of sophists, economists
and calculaiors has succeeded"

A Gard,
BALTIMORE, Feb. 10.

BALTIMORE, te0. ~.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
l desire to express through the col
umns of your paper the appreciation OF
many snow bound travellers of the
courtesies extended those who were
snow bound on the Atlantic Coast Lire
train from Thursday midnight to Satur-
day morning, to Mr.. Thomas Burroughs
of your city, connected with the Penn
syivania railroad. He was indefatiga.
bic in his efforts to make the belated
travellers as comfortable as possible
and it is but due to him that 1 should
state that there was universal express
sion of opinion that he evidenced him
self a friend in time of need. Alexan-
dria we have long learned was a city
noted for its hospitality. If all her ciii-
zens are of the same spirit as Mr.. Bur-
roughs, we would say long live and
prosper historic Alexandria. Trusting
that more favorable auspices will some
day make me know more of your peo-
pie, am, truly UNIs.
