An Interesting Report Reviewed.

Dear Sir-Director Of the Mints
Of the United States, Preston, has
recently made his report to the
Secretary of the Treasury for the
year 1897, covering operations. of
the mints and assay Offices, to-

countries relative to production,

Of each.
Mr.. Preston is q monometalist, or

possibly make it, but such as it is,
it requires the most careful exam

A War "Reminiscences

Among the stories of the late
Judge 9. B. Kilgore, the Louisville
Courier Journal tells the following:
During the war be was ordered
homo to assist In gathering up some
deserters. One evening about dusk
he was out in the country in quest
of a deserter who had been off on
the "layout" tor year. He was
very hungry and very weary. He
called at house by the roadside
and there he found a woman just
taking from the spit q nicely broil.
ed chicken. The SAVIOR of the fowl
made him ravenous. He had q
Mexican dollar in his pocket which
he had carried for years and to
which he was much attached, but
he was bound to have that chicken,
and he pulled ont the dollar and
proposed trade-the coin for the
fowl. The lady said the chicken
was for a sick friend and she would
not sell it.
"But she continued, am jump
you for it"
"What do you meant" said Buck.
II mean that we will see which
can jump farthest from this door
sill ont into the yard, and the one
Of rs that beats shall have both
chicken and dollar"
Gall right; that suits me exactly" !"
said Buck. The dollar was placed.
on the dish beside the chicken and
his gun was leaned against the
door, and Buck slung his arms and
made q tremendous leap Of over
twelve feet. He recovered with
difficulty, and when he turned to
the door there was the lady with
his cooked gun in her hands, with
the butt against her shoulders and
finger on the trigger"
"Now you just flirt gravel down
that road, young man, or Ill make
buzzard's food Of you before hell
can singe gnat," she ordered.
There was shoot in her eyes and
'sbuck and ball" in the gun. So
Buck "firted the gravel, ;" his bosom
swollen overdowing with eloquent
profanity.
By this time it was dark. Over
in field Buck spied q gin house.
He went to it and climbed into the
loft, laid down on the floor and was
soon fast asleep. After time he
was awakened by voices down
below. He listened and made the
discovery that one was q female
voice, and . moment later he
realized that she was relating the
"jampi0g" episode to her compan-
ions, who gave vent to peal after
peal Of laughter. There were the
chicken and his dollar, which he
conid see by the light OF the fallow
dip. Peering about he saw bis gun

Geo. Fred Williams, who is now
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ern0r of Massachusetts. In q arecent
speech he brought out the point
of the progressing realignment of
parties more distinctly than usual.
We quote from the Boston Posts
telegraphic report of the meeting:
II think may claim fairly that
as a public man have always been
willing to appeal to the reason of
the people to discuss all the public
questions which have come up from

conditions, and here tonight, while

may be called an agitation, l believe
it to be necessary to agitate. have
sense in which / think many OF
you join, that our institutions have
come to a point where property has
too much influence and man has too
little; where our laws, and, indeed,
our entire civilization, seem to tend
to the agrandizement and influence
of wealth and property, while the
human being seems to be dropping
ont Of sight in our public affairs,
and yet it is true that the one OBJ
ject Of q republic should he the ele.
walton of man rather than the ele.
walton Of property to first consider
alton. The words of Whittier come
to my lips: "Man, more precious

strange to me that the majority OF
