"No people in great emergency
ever found faithful ally in gold. 1t
is the most cowardly aud treacherous
of all metals. 1t makes no treaty it
does not break. 1t has no friend it
does not betray. ...
armies and navies are not main
tanned by gold. In times of panic and
calamity, shipwreck and disaster, it be-
comes the agent and minister of ruin.
N"No nation ever fought q great war
by the aid of. gold On the contrary,
in the crisis of the greatest peril it be-
comes an enemy more potent than the
foe in the field but when the battle is
won and peace has been secured, gold
reappears and claims the fruits of vic
tory. .H-
SIN our own civil war it is doubtful
if the gold of New York and London
did not work greater injury than the
powder and lead and the iron Of the
rebels. 1t was the most invincible
enemy of the public credit, Gold paid
no soldier or sailor. 1t refused the ma
tiopal obligation. 1t was worst when
our fortunes were the lowest Every
defeat gave it increased value. 1t was
in open alliance with our enemies the
world over, and all its energies were
evoked for our destruction. But, as
usual, when danger had been averted
and the victory secured, gold swaggers
to the front and asserts the supremacy.

THURSDAY, JANUARY Is, 1896

AT this time, when the opium
question is looming up, and likely
to come before the Legislature, the
article and statistics prepared by
Mr.. mo. A. Hassinger Of the Inter
Tor Department, and published in
the AdVerfiSer, are valuable Tor
reference. They show to what
extent the Government has
profted by the traffic III
opium during the sixteen years
that it was licensed by law. 1t APP
pears that there were received from
licenses $I6I, 2oe.63, and from
duties collected at the Custom
House S23, 42o.S9, making tota
of 1854, go. So, or yearly average
of $GI,53e.4o income from thi'
source. The Chinese population
however, at that time, was mucf

1t may create some surprise that we
regard the dance as the earliest form Of
art, or even that we allow it any place
among the fine arts To many it may seem
kind Of sacrilege to combine in the same
category, however broad, such extremes as
dancing savage and painting of the last
Judgment, and IL the connection must be
made some would choose to make It along
other lines than those Of art. But in truth
the dance supplies us with the key, SO to
speak, OF the development of the fine arts
For light upon the problems of human cul-
ture we naturally appeal to the anthropolo-
gist.
Dancing" says Tyler, may seem to us
modern frivolous amusement, but in the
infancy Of civilization 1t was full OF pas
sionate and solemn meaning. Savages and
barbarians dance their joy and sorrow, their
love and rage, even their magic and re-
ligion. The forest Indians of Brazil, whose
sluggish temper few other excitements can
stir, rouse themselves at their moonlight
gatherings, when, rattle in hand, they
stamp In one-two-three round the great
earthen pot of intoxicating kawl liquor, or
men and women dancing a rude counting
dance, advancing in lines with a kind OF
primitive polka step or the ferocious war
dance Is performed by armed warriors In
paint, marching In ranks hither and thither
with growing chant terrible to hear"
Tyler proceeds to- describe the dance of
the Australians and the buffalo dance of
Mandan Indians, who, wearing masks TO
mark their impersonations, with rude songs
and pantomimio gestures, enact their Incl
dents of an imaginary hunt, And then he
adds:

The person who became famous in the
annals of America as 1.-The Man With
the Branded Hand" was Captain JON
athan Walker. He was born at Ear-
wick, Mass, in 1893, and died at Lake
Harbor, Mich, ON April 90, 1878. On
June 23, 1874, he attempted to steal
seven slaves from the coast of Florida,
the intention being to take them to Mas
sau, in the British island of New Provi-
dence. When only short distance out,
he was overtaken and captured by the
sloop Catherine and taken back to Key
West. At that place he was kept in jail
until he could be removed to Pensacola,
where new trial was given. He was
sentenced to prison and chained by o
chain and ring bolt. He was kept fol
some time imprisoned i'll that manner,
or until the time arrived to carry out
further sentence, which read as follows

DR.. HOLMES AND HIS PUBLISHER.
The Poet Was Very Careful and Exact as
to His Copy.

The Poet Was Very Careful and Exact NJ
to His Copy.
When asked as to his business &C.
auaintancewith Oliver Wendell Holmes,
Henry o. Houghton said that it began
with the first publication Of the first
volume of The Atlantic Monthly, in the
initial number Of which the "Autoorat
of the Breakfast Table" was published
in November, 1857
ellis copy was always written on
common white letter paper In a clear
hand and most carefully prepared, with
very few interlineations and these were
only put in after the greatest delibera-
ton He used to bring his copy to the
Office himself and would afterward
come and get tho proofs, which he most
carefully and painstakingly corrected,
frequently making additional changes
and correction therein when line in
cold type did not exactly suit him.
Our firm did not print The Atlantic
in those days. We only stereotyped the
plates, but nevertheless we were brought
in contact with the young poet frequent
ly. In fact he was in the office every
few days.
'He was very particular about hi'
copy, and SO careful was he as to detail
and the exactness of his facts before let
ting matter go to press that he caused
us very little trouble, and when any
thing was to blame he was far readiel
to assume the responsibility than to cen
sure others.
"He was in every way one of TIN
most charming men have ever known
of very sanguine temperament, al
though occasionally sad and reminis
cent.
"He said to me not long ago that b
felt that he was living in another ag
and generation, and that all the peopl
of his time, with whom he had lived
had gone and left him. boston Her

HOW WILD BILL WAS KILLED.
The Story of the Desperado's Murder In n
eadwood saloon.

The Story of the Desperado's Murder In n
Deadwood Saloon.
Mr.. Adler has known all the pioneers of
the west and was friend of that pictur
esque figure in western history, Wild Bill.
He was within half IA dozen PAGES of Bill
when Jack McCaull shot him in the back
of the head in Deadwood saloon. He tells
the story more infinitely than it has ever
been told in print.
To paraphrase the quaint wording OF the
old pioneer, the killing fell about in this
way: Bill and McCaull occupied the same
cabin together at Deadwood in 1876. Bill
came into camp with a notoriety he lad
been acquiring in all the border towns. lie
was gambler by profession and des.er-
ado by nature. He was the surest shot
with pistol in the west He had been
marshal of Hays City in it's palniy days Of
lawlessness, and was afterward marshal Of
Abilene when that little city had almost as
hard name He had killed so many men
that he had lost the count. So when he
rode into Deadwood. with his long yellow
hair pouring down on his shoulders, his
sombrero cooked sideways on his head and
with the ivory handled pistols in their hol-
sters swinging at either side, people were
naturally very respectful.
But Bill was II man to be feared rather
