If there are two kinds OF money the op-
ton must either rest with the debtor or with
tho creditor If the creditor has the right to
chose the metal in which payment shall bo

new demand created for the d.arei metal
will make that metal dearer stu while the
decreased demand for the cheaper metal Will
make that metal cheaper still. III. on the

Lhnssa, the capital of Thibet, is ono
of the cities which is not hospitnble
to the traveller. In the last twenty
years six prominent explorers have
tried to reach the holy city, but with
out success. Miss Taylor, an English
woman, was within sight ot it and
doubtless would have succeeded, ms size
spoke Thibetnn well, had she not been
betrayed by one OF her attendants.
The latest attempt to penetrate to
Lhassa was made by St. George Lit
tletield and his wife. They reached n
point within fifty miles OF the city
when their further progress WAS barred
by large military force. The
Thibetans were polite, aud the gen
eral Of the army spent days in discus
sion with NJ. Littic;icld. No blood
was shed, but much ia was drunk.
In the end the Englishmnn had 10 turn

A Good Suggestion.

A reader Of the LIGHT offers as a
suggestion that instead of giving
an amateur performance at the
Opera house for the benefit of the
Sherman sufferers that a benefit
ball game be given at Riverside
park. There might also be added
some bicycle races and athletic
sports. Carl Beck's band might be
induced to play few tunes for the
occasion, on the grounds. A good
sum could be realized from an en-
tertainment OF this kind, while the
profits OF an amateur show at the
Grand would be eaten up in sun
dry expenses.
