present under different circumstances,
but withal the old battle-scared vet

A man may get IA meal, and when he
puts down an American dollar in pay
ment will get back as change Mexican
dollar which contains six grains more
silver than our own. He gets demon
stration of the fact that it is the credit
of our government which keeps the sill
yer dollar afloat at AZ cents more than
its intrinsic value, just as it keeps its
paper notes, which have no intrinsic
value at all, at tn equality with gold

GRAFTON, grant letters
of marque and re-
prisal, coin money,
emit bills of credit,
make anything but
gold and silver coin

The denial of the
right OF the states to
make anything but

tender is very far
from naming those
m e I a s 8 { h e
money metals of
the United States"
In no other part of
the constitution is
gold or silver even
mentioned.
The first coinage
law passed by con-
gress made both gold
and silver coins the
unit or measure of
value. The Spanish
milled dollar W a s
made the unit of
number, but ( h G
coinage of gold was
based on q fixed
number of grains of
gold, and not on a
ratio with the silver
dollar.
The coinage law ,of
1873 was passed after
three years discus
sion in congress, and
1t was printed 13
times in the course
of its enactment.
The speeches in both
the house and senate
during the proceed
ings on the bill show
that the change was
made as openly as
any other law ever
passed by congress.
There is no proof
that gold has appre-
ciated. Measured by

labor necessary to

in 1873.

PLATFORM FALLAClEs.

False and Misleading Assertions by the
Democratic National Convention.
The declaration of financial princi-
pies put forward by the democratic ma
tional convention is n shrcwd mixture
of cheap money delusions, half truths
and wholly unfounded assertions. Its
alleged statement of facts has frequent
1y been shown to be untrue; in spite of
this they were deliberately indorsed by
n majority of the representatives of the
democratic party. Since the standard
raised at Chicago will be used to rally
all the forces of silverism, fiatism, cur
rency debasement and debt rcpudia-
ton, it becomes necessary to refute
once more the statements on which the
American people are asked to support
the democratic candidates. This can be
briefly and effectively done by a COM
parison of the assertions of the Chi
cago platform with the simple facts.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Der, was the hiding of Talbot in the cave
on the side of Mt. Ararat.
No doubt the happiest days of our poet
ess were those two years of her girlhood
spent upon Roberts Island, ideal home OF
IA poetess.
She has been described to me, at this
! period, as a most winsome and Joyous
creature, Overlooking with health and con-
sequent high spirits. With her pen she
was now supporting herself and family in
comfort her father being dead.
1t was her custom to spend the morning
at her desk while the afternoon was devoted
to outdoor sports, with her sister and young
brothers, rowing, fishing, riding on horse
back, etc. remember well of hearing
some young men speak of having encoun-
tered her, one autumn day, upon the hills
adjacent to the river, in the role OF hunt
ress. She had on according to their de-
scription most jaunty and becoming hunt
ing costume, and but for the shortness of
her stature might aptly have posed for
DiaLa. AS it was, one of them declared
she reminded him of an Indian Princess.
She was accompanied by her brother and
sister, but it was she who carried the gun
and brought down the game, with which
the ''rver hills were then well stocked
Among the distinguished literary lights
who journeyed from afar to pay homage to
her youth and genius, was George D.
Prentice, the then distinguished editor of
the Louisville Courier ournal, who was
also popular contributor to the Ledger.
Longiellow, Bryant and Bayard Taylor sold
to Bonner for the columns of his Ledger
some of their now celebrated poems along
about this period, and were very glad to so
dispose of them.
1t was Prentice who paid Emma Alice
Browne the high compliment of saying in
his Journal that her "In Memoriam" to
her father, was fully equal in 'beauty of
sentiment, strength of diction and smooth
ness OF versiilcation to the classic 'Memor-
""' va '7'h' III hiehioiN vi MS ioNth
Hallam.' This tlattering criticism was
fully sustained at the time of its utterance
by the admirer of the former production.
but whether it will he sustained by pos
terlty remains to be seen. The poem is
surely one OF the finest ever produced by
an American.
The natural and spontaneous little gem
"My Brother, as regards age and genius,
when we consider that it was written by
an almost wholly uneducated little country
girl OF thirteen, will surely compare favor
ably with that last "Threnodry" written
by the old man of eighty.

To take me when life is done

THE BURNING OF THE CAPITOL.

Senator Hawley thinks that the facts of
history do not altogether prove the conten-
ton that the United States can be defended
instantly and without previous preparation
should war trouble arise Yesterday hap
pened to be the s4th anniversary of the
burning of the Capitol by the British and
while the Naval Appropriation bill was
under discussion Mr.. Hawley thought it
worth while to tell the story of that event,
with the lesson which the incident i'm
pressed upon his mind.
"Righty-four years ago to-day" said he,
"a British Admiral and a British General
took seats in the House of Representatives
and put to vote before a mob of British
soldiers the question whether this harbor
OF Yankee democracy should be burned
The Capitol, the Navy Yard, the Treasury,
the White House, the rope walk, all the
prominent offices Of the Government and
many private residences were burned.
The hearts of the people, that were to de-
fend this country ran through this town,
as ordered by the General commanding, be-
fore firing single shot, to the suburbs of
the city, retreating through Washington
and Georgetown. The best that General
Winder, in command of the forces could
do was to suggest that they should ill the
windows of the Capitol with rflemen, but
he got scared before the firing and ordered
retreat Just where the President spent
that day history does not tell us, but at
night his wife, who, almost alone OF all the
people in Washington, gained real glory on
that day, met him on the shore Of the river,
where boat was ready, and went over to
Virginia. There they found refuge in
some common hotel. They abandoned that
and hid in the woods. Is it possible for
imagination to conceive deeper national
degradation?"
General Hawley pointed the moral to his
narrative by remarking that until three or
four days before Admiral Cockburn arrived
the members of the Cabinet gave assurances
that there was no danger Of war, and the
5000 troops in the city were not ordered
out until the enemy appeared. The Sena-
tor condemned the action Of the authorities
at that time as "idiotic management and
suggested that it was always wise to be
ready for an emergency. Washington
