"A gold standard encourages the
boarding of money because money is
rising; it is also diseourages enterprise
and paralyses industry. On the other
hand, the restoration of b;meTallisln
will discourage boarding, because,
when prices are steady or rising,
money cannot afford to lie idle in the
bank vaults. The farmers and wage
earners together constitute Il consid-
cradle majority of the people of the
country. Why should their interests
be ignored in considering financial
legislation? a monetary system
which is pecuniarily advantageous to
a few syndicates has far less to com
mend it than Il system which would
give hope and encouragement to those
who create the nations wealth."

hucksters, the .combers go out with their big shovels and dig up the sand in the holes. They say that the finds are of good value and very miscellaneous. Most numerous are the pickings from the surface of the hard pam from two to three feet down through the surface sand. Upon this hard floor the coins stand on edge in Q position to pene- trate to the safe regions below. But the comber, understanding this shovels down three or four feet further, and though it is heavy work and exhaust ing afterwards when the sieve has to be used to release the sand, the patient placer-miner makes sure he has reaped the summer harvest before he leaves off his task -..
 There are two rich places which have not been explored. One is defended by man and his wife who own the ground. It Is line of poles set up for the bathing patrons of Gebbard's. Four years ago a young man went into the water there with two twenty-dollar gold pieces around his neck. He was about to be married and was saving up the money for the event. It was too pre- cious to be left in the bath-house keep CTS safe, so he kept it in a little leather bag at his neck. When he came out of the water the bag and the gold were gone. He wept and cursed and made such a noise about his loss that every body lon Coney' knew of it. The comb CTS were not alone in the search for it, but it was not found during the season, and in the fall the winter men prepared to dig around Gebbard's lifeline poles, Gebbard was afraid they would dig up the poles or loosen them, and he forbade them to work there. The police assisted him when they were within call, but whenever they and Gebbard were away down swooped the combers for the gold. The owner found it necessary to leave his wife to watch whil~ hA was away, and the combers have been off ever since. But they mean to have those double eagles yet they know they are in the pole holes, and Dave Stewart, the negro comber, said yesterday:
 "Ise goin to have them goldbugs if it takes till Gabriel blows"
 The other untouched spots are also lifeline poles, those that once carried a line from the pier to the Scenic Rail- road. When the bathing houses there were torn down, the poles were left, and the combers are welcome to delye beside them. But every year they have been passed over because there were enough other places equally rich to last through the winter and now the tide and the sand-drift gradually rising over the tops of the poles. They will soon be buried and their location will be for gotten unless some energetic comber attacks them

SITTING THE SANDS.

Conbing Beach for Lost Valuables at
 Coney Island--A Picturesque and
 Profitable Winter Industry-Its Acci-
 dental Origin Twelve Years Ago Cap'n Jones and His Queer Imitators
 -s5 5,0O0 Buried OF the Shore.
 "Cap'n Jones of Coney," fiat on the sand, was crawling under Jones walk With his long hair, sombrero, high boots. and the rest of a cowboy cos tune, he was always a sight to see, but never more so than in this moment, when he was about to discover and found a profitable industry. He was unaware of what was in store for him. The thing he was after was his cane, the one boys gave him. It had dropped from his hand and slipped through a crack in the board walk named after him, and he was bound to get it back So he pushed and puffed and kicked with his feet, while his hands felt along ahead in the sand like tentacles. Like a tentacle, one of them suddenly closed. A smoot2. rathd, hard obiac, had got between his fingers and the clui"f that followed was instinctiVe. The Cap'n lay still and felt of it.
 "Um!'' he muttered: it was a quarter of a dollar. Putting it into his pocket, he crawled on after the walking stick his hands still feeling ahead. In flew seconds the other hand had clutched someting smooth, round and hard.
 'Um." muttered he; it was a dime. For 6 minute Cap'n Jones remained motionless; he was thinking. Thirty-fve cents wasn't much, but it was enough to set his mind hard at work. He for got his purpose, forget himself, but he found the business of beach -combing' in Coney Island.
 After he had "pinched off the idea" he continued his search for the walking stick, and, retrieving it, he crawled out from under the board walk and went home. It was the end of the summer season and twelve years ago. The Cap'n is weIl-to-do now and has a lame back, so he is no longer a professional beach comber;" all he does is to go out and pick up money and jewelry or occasions when it is simply an amusement But he followed the trade for six or seven

There are very intelligent men and women who still prefer open fires to steam pipes and furnaces.

 Stormy weather had delayed Miss Dents flower gardening, and Grant was happy that it had. The two young people were industrious and vigilant, and the brother and the father and mother were sure White Haven lawn was never before so artistically ar ranged and decorated.
 The last planting had been finished. and on the one question of infinite i'm portance to him Grant still remained silent. He was more silent than usual during those last few precious hours as they worked on together
 Grant had walked off by himself, and around by the greenhouse, where he had found beautiful, partly opened rose. This he brought back, and, plac- ing a stool near Miss Dent where she sat making a final inspection of the flower bed just finished, he seated him. self facing her. He held the rose in his fingers slightly extended toward her and asked if she would accept it. She removed her glove and took the rose from his fingers and held it, lock- ing at it. then at him. After a mo- ment's silence, he ventured to say he hoped she would wear it for the giver's sake With trembling fingers she fastened it in her corsage. Another si- lence; then Grant asked if he might re- turn to her-if return he should from the wars-and--.
 There was no other word spoken be- tween the lovers, but their eyes told the story, each to the other-the old yet ever new story of true love.
 After tea they rode over to visit the old darkey on whose foot they had performed the surgical operation few weeks before. Supremely happy themselves, they made him happy with kind words and in more substantial ways.
 Next morning the hour of departure arrived. Farewells were said to all the family except Miss Dent, who accom- panied her lover to the gate; then, he leading his horse. they walked slowly on a few hundred yards to an eleya- tion off the roadway. and stood looking in the direction of Jefferson Barracks, whence he would presently disappear on his long journey to the far south. The farewells then and there spoken no ear heard but their own.--Midland Monthly.

7 wounds, not to bind them lp." Grant, : after a pause, said: Perhaps it's both. But don't you think when one makes wound, one should try to heal | it?'-with quiet look at Miss Dent. Her eyes dropped to the bandage, but I she was silent.
 l Manner said how that Miss Julia l 'peared not to unde.s and what Cap | Grant meant. but she said how she lowed she did, cause she herself know'd, and Manner said how Miss Julia was the knowin'est Miss she ever seen in her born days"
 | Tn May, 1S44, Grant, obtained twenty l days leave of absence to visit his fath- | CTS home in Ohio. A day or two after he departed on his trip his regiment | the Fourth Infantry-was ordered to proceed to Fort Jessup, La, about | twenty-five miles east of the Texas | line, to observe the frontier. When Ewell handed Grant the order to join his regiment, and also few days additional leave" he remarked very pleasantly that he had no doubt l'the recipient would find the climate in the country west of the. river much more inspiring and elevating than he had found it ill any of his late wander ings in the east! Lieutenant Grant thanked him and smiled, but said noth- ing.
 During his absence, and with the prospect of an indefinite separation from his White Haven friends-the one friend of all friends in particular Grant had made the discovery that there was really something serious the matter with him. He had provided himself with a new uniform, he had the desired leave of absence and sym | pathizing brother officers had loaned him a good horse; and, with his mind at ease on these points. he was about to start off on the most momentous campaign of his life-one more trying to his courage than any of his later campaigns
 The prize the object of his quest. was greater than the conquest of a kingdom. Yet" says the officer who was present and gave the writer the minutest particulars of the event. Grant made a aeonfidant of none of us; but we knew of his courtship and so
 
 mission to the country, and by many hints we let him understand our suspi- cions; but he was silent
 It was a charming May day when Lieutenant Grant mounted his horse and rode out of the barracks gate to- ward White Haven. It had rained fu- riously the day and night before, but there never was a brighter or more balmy May morning than that
 A young colored person-now an old woman-who was at the Dent house on that occasion gave the writer some in- teresting glimpses of this visit-to Grant and Miss Dent a most momen- tous event. Miss Dent did not know of Grants return from Ohio, and his sud- den advent was a. surprise to her. Be- sides, the streams were a-fiood and im- passable!
 The woman thus related what she saw:
 "Cap'n Grant had swum through the muddy creek and when he got down at the gate the water was a-drippin' from i'm, and his boots was full of water But he come right inl Miss Julia was busy fiXin' up flowers and plants that had been put down by the storm and l rain las night afore. and I was a-help- in to hold 'em up.
