AREGULAR BAND WAGON.
Ehe Retired Burglar and His Tale Of aR
Eccentric Chair.

The Retired Burglar and Eis Tale Of aa
Eccentric Chair.
ssI once had a very singular experience
in a fine house in small city in the
west. s" said the retired burglar. They
had their silver locked up, but found on
a table in the Parlor lot of brio-a-bracs
mostly silver things, that was well worth
carrying off There was a curious looking
therrnO neter that caught my eye in partto-
ular, and, contrary to my usual custom,
stoned to take a look at it before putting
IT in my bag, and then it occurred to me
that I'd like to see how warm it vast
was very close in the room with the vim
dows all shut-and took a look at the
mercury holding it down in the light Of
my lamp On the table, standing up my
self. but I ooulGn't see it very plain stand
ing up. so I sat down in a chair that was
right there by the table to get q closer look
1.-The minute sat down the chair began
60 play a tune. Tt had a music box ar
rangement attached to it, just like many
other articles of furniture are made.
Some Of en- when you pull out drawer
music box begins to play, and all that sort
of thing, and this was q musical chair. I
got right up, but the chair kept right on
playing. These things are apt TO have
key, you know, or a stopper of some sort
about 'em somewhere that you press to
stop EN-. felt for that key, but couldn't
find it, and I got my lamp and looked for
it. the music keeping right on playing all
the time but couldn't find it and the
first thing I knew ito broke out louder than
ever. 1t had come to some sort Of q bell
attachments that it had and was making
twice as much noise as it did at first, and
the only thing I'd got in my bag was the
thermometer, which I wished I'd never
seen at all and which I'd dropped in the
bag when the first surprise struck me.
Il took another quick look over the
chair with the lamp, but I couldn't find
the key, ana of course there wasn't any
thing for me to do but so away, which I
did. The last I heard Of the chair as I
went through the cellar window, it had
busted out in some new direction and was
booming away like a brass band New

WHAT FREE COINAGE MEANS.
No better summing up Of the bene-
acial results which must inevitably fol-
low the opening of the mints to the free
coinage of silver has been offered than
that which appears in a recent issue
of the Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t is as fol-
lows.
~The free and unlimited coinage Of
silver means that neither the president
nor his secretary of the treasury would
be allowed any longer to boycott the
four hundred and twenty eight millions
Of standard silver dollars now in ex-
istence. The power that could re-es-
tablish silver coinage would compel the
use of silver with gold in the redemp-
ton Of greenbacks. This would do
away with the false pretense that
bonds must be sold with which to buy
gold to redeem greenbac1s- 1t would
remove the constant menace by the
gold gang that the legal tender quail
ity shall be taken away from the vast
amount of silver dollars now in exist
ence. 1T would add enough to the
money in circulation in the country
each year to keep pace with the in
crease of population and the require
ments for domestic exchanges. II
would make all the silver bullion in the
were already coined into dollars. 1T
would stop greenbacks from being pre-
scented for redemption at the treasury
because Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co
and the rest Of the breed Of gold specu-
lators would be offered silver when
they demanded gold, and they would
not want it.
Free coinage would guarantee the
stability of the currency. The grind
ing contraction now going on would
cease. The borrowed surplus in the
treasury of nearly SEQ, 600, 600 would be
expended in grand public improve
ments. including coast defenses, and
thus be restored to circulation among
the people. 1t would gradually raise
the general level of prices.
The production of wheat and other
farm products would be resumed on the
former scale Manufacturers of every
description would no longer engage IN
mere hand-to-mouth production, but
would manufacture for the require
ments of the coming year. This would
give work to those now in distress, ana
would enable laboring people them
selves to buy what they are now going
without under the harsh compulsiOn Of
poverty.
THE commerce between forty-fve
would be taken out of the hands of re-
ceivers, because they could again earn
interest on their debts, and expenses,
and something more. The occupation
OF the panic-malzer would be gone"
