Commodore March's Wit.

A good story was told lately of

the Hotel Butler, and, indeed, all

him:
How long have you been in this

Mr.. March has pretty chin, and
he shaVes his white whiskers to ei-

question was so suddenly put, he
softly caressod the pretty chin and
slowly and meditatively said, as

length swered: "Fifty- five years. ~

Dark-visaged savage, eh? Yes
and what did you say to him ?"
said it was a fine day."
Fine day? Yes; and what did
he say to you"
Mr.. March ratified off a whole
yarn in Chinook, and kept on, to the
mirth of the whole court room, un.

MISCELLANEOUS.
EVILS OF GOLD MONOMETAL-
M-MCKINLEY,S IN
CONSISTENCY.

Following is the public address of
Senators Teller, Dubois and others,
speaking for themselves and the
many other Republicans Of the West
who walked out of the st. Louis
Convention when the Republican
party declared for the maintenance
of the gold standard.
We deem it fitting that we, who
have heretofore affiliated with the
national Republican party, and who
have rejected the financial plank of
the platform adopted at st. Louis,
and refused to support the nominees
of the convention, should state our
position in the Presidential campaign
and give briefly our reasons in sup
port thereof.
When certain delegates to the ma
tional Republican convention repu-
dated the financial plank of the
platform and withdrew from the
convention, we determined that we
would give our support to such can
didates as should appear most will
ing and capable Of aiding in the res
toration of silver to its rightful
place as standard money.
The Democratic party has at it's
Chicago Convention taken its posi-
tion in its platform 80 pronouncedly
favorable to silver, and has nomi-
mated candidates Of such unquestion-
able convictions in favor of the bi-
metallic policy, and of such high
personal character, that we have de-
termined to give them our support.
We support such candidates be-
cause they represent the great prin-
ciples of bimetallism, which we be-
lieve to be the cause of humanity
and Of civilization, and the para
mount question now before the
the American people.
We therefore announce that we
shall by voice and vote support
Messrs. Bryan and Sewall for Presi-
dent and Vice President, and we ap-
peal to all citizens, and especially
Republicans, who feel, as we do,
that gold monOmetalism would be of
lasting injury to the country, to act
with us i'm securing their election.
The Democrats who believe in the
gold standard are announcing their
intention to support Mr.. Mckinley,
or preparing to put third candidate
IN the field, for the avowed purpose
of aiding Mr.. McKinley's election.
A great number of leading and in
fiuential Democratic journals have
declared they will support the Re-
publican nominees. 1t is evident
there is to be union of forces on
the part of the advocates and sup
porters of the gold standard to elect
Mr.. Mckinley and Congress favor-
able to him, which will support the
financial policy outlined in the Re-
publican platform.
UNION OF SILVER FORCES.
To those who believe In bimetal-
ism, which means the equal treat
ment of both gold and silver at the
mints Of the nation, there is but one
course to pursue, and that is to unite
all the silver forces, and to oppose
with all our might the candidate
representing the policy which we be
lieve is fraught with disaster to the
nation and ruin to the people. Colo
monometalism means the shifting t
gold alone as primary money, all tht
burdens of commerce aud credi
formerly borne by gold and silver
and as the worlds stock of thes'
metals has always been about equa
in amount, 1t means the doubling o

ANIMAL HUMBUGs.-In m ilitary
stables horses are known to have
pretended to be lame, in order to
avoid going to military exercise.
A chimpanzee had been fed on cake
when sick. After his recovery he
often feigned coughing, in order to
procure dainties. The cuckoo, as
is well know, lays its eggs in an
other birds nest; and to make the
deception surer, takes away one of the
other birds eggs. Animals are con-
scious of their deceit, as shown by
the fact that they try to act secretly
and noiselessly !; they show a sense
OF guilt if detected; they take pre-.
cautions in advance to avoid discov-
cry; in some cases they manifest re-
gret and repentance. Thus bees
which steal hesitate often before and
after their exploits, as if they feared
punishment. A naturalist describes
how his monkey committed theft.
While he pretended to sleep, the
animal regarded him with hesitation,
and stopped every time his master
moved or seemed on the point of
awakening.

WHY THE SEAT DID NOT FIR
When " Ben" Wade, of Ohio was
the presiding officer of the Senate he
used occasionally to call some Senator
to take the chair, and he would re-
lieve himself by walking up and
down In the lobby, which runs back
of the Senate chamber. Once, while
thus walking, he was overtaken by a
certain carpet-bag Senator from one
of the Southern States, who occu-
pied the identical chair that Jeffer-
son Davis has used while a member
of the Senate. Walking along by
the side of Wade, he rubbed his back
wearily and said:
Wade, these Senate chair are the
most uncomfortable things l ever
saw. My back Is positively blis-
tered from sitting in mine."
Wade looked at him for a moment
and, as he turned away, muttered
Davis left enough brains In the
seat of that chair to blister the backs
OF two or three such men as yor
are" '>'

WHERE the diamond comes from
nobody knows. You can no more
predict the existence of diamonds
than you can the existence of a ge-
MUS, although, to be sure, all dia-
mond fields to a certain extent re-
semble each other, and all are found
only In warm climates. Nor can you
tell where the diamond goes to on
combustion. Burn it, and it leaves
no ash, the flame is exterior like that
OF cork, and when it has blaZed
itself out, there remains not even so
much as would dust the antenna of
butterfly.

1T is strange fact that the right
hand, which is more sensible to the
touch than the left, is less sensible
than the latter to the effect of heat
or cold. If you dip both hands ST.
multaneously into two bowls of wa
ter OF equal temperature, the left
will experience the highest sensation
OF heat, and this will happen even
II the thermometer shows that the
water In the left bowl is in reality a
trifie colder than the water in the
right one. The reverse happens in
the case of persons who are left
handed.
