SOCIAL MENTION.

The engagement of George E. Ma
guire of San Francisco to Miss En-
eret E. Kennedy of Sacramento has
been announced in the Bay papers.
Miss Kennedy is one of Sacramento's s
best known young ladies.
After the regular meeting of Naomi
Chapter, No. 36, o. E. s.. last night,
those present were very pleasantly en-
tertained by some of the members with
recitations and instrumental and vocal
music.
One of the most enjoyable affairs
that has taken place in Sacramento for
some time was a Hard Times" party
held at Turner Hall last evening. 1t
was given by the Wednesday Night
Club, and the management deserve
great praise for the way it was carried
out The sides and balcony of the hall
were lighted by the old-fashioned tai
low candles instead of gas, and in
place of potted plants the music-stand
was decorated with pieces of paste
board, having flowers and plants
sketched on them. 1t was a case of

too, but instead of the delicious nectar
usually dispensed of at this corner of
the hall there was nothing but the
straight and unadulterated river water.
The programmes were simple and con-
sisted of fourteen dances. The Execu-
tive Committee is as follows: Henry
Feldhusen, Chairman; VIM. v. Kellogg,
Secretary; w. T. Peterson, Charles
Wright. In addition to these, there
were as Floor Managers: J. NJ Hast
ings, John Clauss, VIM. A. Sayre Frank
Krebs. John j. Cahill, e. Cutter. Jo-
seph M. Anderson, Frank Lieth. The
latter-named gentlemen were dressed
in old linen ulsters, with pieces of bur-
lap and the carnival colors attached in
place of a badge. Altogether it was
very successful, and the idea OF a
Hard Times" party was fully carried
out.

be today assured, money, that is now
boarded for fear of change in the
value of the legal tender, would seek

1.-THE MONEY OF THE CONSTITU-
TION.'

Congress shall have power to coin
money, regulate the value thereof,
and of foreign coin, and fix the
standard of weights and measures.
(Art. 1. Sec s Subdiv 5.) No state
shall . coin money, emit bills
of credit, make anything but gold
and silver coin tender in payment
of debts; pass any law = i'm
pairing the obligation Of contracts.
.lArt. 1. Sec. 10 Subdiv ~ The
above are the only constitutional pro-
VISIONS relating to the money or
coinage questions. Nowhere does it
declare what shall be money, what
metal shall be used for coinage pur-
poses one, two or three
metals-nor what shall be the rela-
tive weight, fineness or value of the
coins, should more than one metal be
used. Neither gold, silver or copper
is mentioned in that section of the
constitution which authorizes con-
gress to coin money. Iron money,
if we had any, would be just as truly
t'money of the constitution" as silver
or gold.
Congress shall regulate the value
of the coin it may mint. The con-
stitution nowhere indicates that con-
gress shall, may or can regulate the
relative value in case two or more
metals are used. Congress has never
attempted to do this, although it has
several times declared what amount
of GOLD, silver, nickel or copper the
respective coins shall contain, and to
what extent these coins shall be a
lawful tender for the payment of an
obligation.
No STATE shall make anything but
gold and silver coin tender in pay
ment of debts. Congress has the ex-
elusive power to declare what shall
be legal tender. Nothing IN the
constitution requires congress to
make both gold and silver a legal
tender. 1t has frequently declared
different kinds of money-gold, sill.
yer, nickel, copper and United State:
notes legal tender; but the latter
were never made legal tender fol
any obligations except those to the
United States until the Act of Feb
ruary 26, 1862.
We have heard it urged that con
gress could not make gold OR silver
legal tender because the constitution
says s'gold and silver" The consti
tution says nothing as to what CON
GREss may declare to he legal ten
der, but does prohibit any STATE from
making anything but gold and silve

A Chicago Fire Legacy.

The books Of the United States
treasury still carry an item of 3d..
O00.00 which represents United
States notes which are supposed to
have been consumed in the great
Chicago fire rs years ago, saysa cor
respondent of the New York Sun.
1t is known that there was 81, 600,
900 of currency more or less in the
vaults of the subtreasury then ind
that none of it was recovered, but
the denominations of those notes
and the exact amount are unknown,
as the books of the cashier were con-
sumed also.
There could not have been, how
ever, very many dollars less or very
many dollars more than 81, 900, 600,
and it would simplify the accounts
of the treasury and save great deal
of labor to the bookkeepers if con-
gress should pass bill or resolution
recognizing the fact that this mon
ey is no longer in existence, for ev-
cry day when the cashier of the
treasury balances his accounts he
has to include this item, deduoting
it, or adding it as the case may be,
from the amount in hand. Itappears

A Snake THAT sualloH. Exxs,

The Hydraci yeti is a native Of
South Africa, and, taken all around,
he is a ouriousity in the reptile line.
Unlike the regulation snake, he has
no teeth in his mouth, but has full
set of grinders in his stomach
These dental wonders grow from
the center of each vertebra. They
pass through the walls of the stom-
ach and are each crowned with
enamel. Hydraci is the champion
egg sucker, and the teeth in the
stomach appear to be natures pro-
vision for breaking tho shell of the
egg without running the risk Of los
ing the precious contents. When the
egg lands in the stomach and the
serpent's instinct tells it that every
thing is all right, the abdominal
walls contract and the egg is crushed
against the long row of vertebral
teeth. --St. Louis Republic.

THE LAST CAPTURED SLAYER
Her Captain Said TO Haye Been Hanged
on Bedlos's Island.


Her Captain Said to Haye Been Hanged
on Bedloe's Island.
The only captain of slave vessel
who suffered the death penalty in
America was captured by u crew of
which one of the mem bers is now
citizen of Cleveland, the engineer of
the Peoples Gaslight and Coke COM
pany.
'The slaveship was the Erie, and
it was the last American SLAYER cap
tured," said Mr.. Matthews in talk
ing about the historical event. "She
was taken off the mouth Of the kon-
60 in the spring of 1861 by the Unit
ed States sloop-of- war Mohican. I
Sas captain of the foretop and of
the starboard watch. The capture
was accidental. The vessels dealing
in slaves would slip out in the inter-
walls between the patrol beats Of the
men of war, and they knew pretty
we'll our habits. But this time the
Mohican was delayed two days in
waiting for mail, and going from
the island of Fernandez we sighted
a vessel making from the mouth Of
the Kongo. We were flying French
flag, and the stranger foated an
American flag. We signaled for her
to heave to, bat this request not be-
ing regarded shot vas fired. Then
she hove to without Offering re-
sistGrce, and a party sent aboard
found every one dressed alike. It
was thus some days before We dis
covered who was the captain. She
was manned by Is men and had on
board $50 slaves and three slave
agents. The slaves were landed,
and the slave agents ard five Span.
iards who did not wish to claim
American citizenship were sent
away in tradeboat. Eight of the
slaver's crew were shipped OH the
Mobican, and the officers and two of
tho crow were brought to America.
Tho slnveship was taken to Liberia.
The captain of the SLAYER was
Nathaniel Gordon, and year after
his capture he was swung Oh Bed
Ices island, where the statue of
Liberty now stands. The first mate
was sentenced to ten years impris-
onment, the second mate received
five years sentence, and the two
seamen were each given year.

GERS was due to tie intense feeling
On the slavery question, as the war
had just broken out. The second
mate and the two men volunteered
to enter the army and were allowed
to go free. Our lieutenant, Dunning-
ton, went into the Confederate navy
after bringing Gordon back.
About three months before the
experience with the Erie SLAYER es-
capped US by being disguised as a
whaler. The stimulation was very
perfect, and on the decks we could
see even the boiling watts. The cap
tain showed papers which disarmed
suspicion, and when the 'whaler'
put up for the night at the mouth
of tho Kongo our captain informed
him that next morning he would
come around On visit.
"In the morning he was gone, hav.
ing taken 1900 slaves aboard. We
sighted vessel in the distance,
which we pursued and found to be
an English man-of-war also trying
to catch the 'whaler. '''-Cleveland
