puny, human worms who were con-
tent to crawl upon the surface of the
earth, How pure the air seemed!
Every exhalation was like a draught
wine. His blood coursed through
his veins as it never had done before,
and a strange, wild exhllaration
thrilled him to his finger tips 1t
seemed he had but just begun to
live.
The world was his!
e. As he swept over the brow of a
hill near beautiful lake he heard a
oudIvoIce, :and looking downward
saw venerable colored man kneel-
ing on a broad platform surrounded
by hundreds of dusky faces. He
bad come upon negro camp-meet-
ing, and seized with a sudden fancy
to hear the prayer he circled with
noisoless wing above the sable throng
and listened.
90 Dressed angel come down."
prayed the old man in quavering ac-
cents,-"Come now! Spread dy be-
broad pinions an fly to us. Tote a.
long dy sickle for we am ripened
grain, ready for de harvest"
Just then there was shrek from
colored sister as the strange object
handing over their heads came with
in range of her vision, and moment
later with discordant yells of fear
and wonder the congregation broke
for the adjoining woods, and left the
deaf, old preacher with only two Wis
ible auditors, Mr.. Poppingham and
crippled darkey whose crutches had
been knocked out Of hiss.hands in the
scramble, and who now lay flat ON
his back With an expression of more
than mortal terror on his face.

stretching his bands toward the sup
posed supernatural visitor, ''don'
mir dat OF niger. Don min him,
say! De grain amt ripe! Dat ole
fool orter know hits de mos back

Leaving the camp ground, Mr..
Poppingham skinned across the lake
flying quite near the water, and
watching his reflection in the smooth
and shining surface. Just as he
reached the farther shore two sports
men emerged from clump of trees
not far away, and one Of them with
a quick exclamation of fear and sur
prise raised his gun and fired.

The Bullfon-o ,rner Gets a AIl.

A correspondent is informed that the pur-
pose of the advocates of the free coinage OF
silver at the ratio l6 to l is to enable any
one TO take silver bullion to the government
mint and have it coined freely into as many
dollars as it will make, he, and not the gov
eminent, getting the difference between the
value of the silver as bullion and as money.
To other words, the day after free coinage
law is passed the owner of a bar of silver
worth in the market 500 would, under
free-coinage law, get in silver dollars $500
for it. All the profit of the transaction
would 90 to him, and to nobody else Citi-
zens who have no silver bullion would not
be ''in it," but they would have to accept
these dollars that cost 80 cents each at a
valuation of 100 cents, since they are legal
tender. Under the Bland act of 1873 and
the Sherman act of 1890 the government got
the difference between the value of the sill
yer bullion aud the dollars made from it
under the name of seigniorage, but such
would not be the case under free coinage Of
silver. There would be another and impor-
tant difference: At present the 50-cent sill
yer dollar is kept exchangeable with the
gold dollar by the fact that the government
maintains a gold reserve and undertakes to
keep all forms of money at par with the gold
dollar. This it must cease to do under free
coinage. The silver dollar would after an
interval fall to its intrinsic value-50 cents.
All the worlds silver would be crowded up
on our minis and our silver certificate max
ers so long as our dollar was worth over 90
cents, but the drop to intrinsic value would
ultimately occur baltimore SIN
