The scheme for signalling the occasion by

origin to Colonel Victor Milward, NJ p, who. II
will be remembered was the author Of a similar
project on the occasion Of the Jubilee celebration

the Worcestershire Beacon overlooking Malvern
nominally enjoyed the distinction of sending up
the fugle flame from its summit; but the prelim-
mary flights of rockets caused some confusion.
and the result was that many beacons were pre-

the bonfres throughout England should be sim

in Scotland taking place an hour later. The Mid

surrounding country, countless array or nres

The walters had been so engrossed in their

IT is reported that NO alarm is felt
at Washington over the withdrawal
OF gold from the treasury. Ger
tainly not, We are on . gold basis,
you know, and that is as solid a. a
rock. The: more gold that goes out.
the higher will be the value OF that
which is left, and the country will
be really richer than as though the
gold remained. But how about
wages and prices Of labor's product?
That is, Of course. different. They
will 90 down Is gold goes up. But
that is not to be taken into consider
alton. Tho people are not in it.
We are running this government for
the benefit Of those who own the
gold; and what is more to the point,
the people voted to have it run that
way. Surely no man desires to de-
prive them Of the right to have
things run as they want them to be.

A paragraph has been going the

on June a law permitting the print

dom has written to the postoflice de-
partment at Washington, irquiring
as to the correctness Of the report,
and the reply to his letter. printed
below, will serve to set the matter
straight in the minds Of those who
have been inisled by the report Of the
new law:
Dear Sir: The congressional
measure to which you refer in your
COMMUNICATIONS bill to authorize
the issue and use Of private postal
cards-failed to become q law. Pri-

She Never Kissed.

''Then your daughter won't kiss the

and the old man gave him look that
dazzled his specs.
"But-ah, You know, some girls
who are engaged-you know some
times kiss their their oys-you
know-and-it' all right and proper

Tho old mani looked at him real hard,

Surprising recoveries occasionally
happen which can be ascribed to no 9TH
or cause than n cheerful state of mind
and the healthful nervous influence
which it ditfuses through the frame. A
singular but instructive instance fell
under the observation Of Sir Humphry
Davy. when, early in life, he was as
sisting DIR. Beddoes in his experiments
on the inhalation of nitrous oxide. DR..
Beddoes having inferred that the oxide
must be specific for palsy, q patient
was selected for trial and placed under
tho care of Davy. Before administering
the gas Davy inserted o small Their
mometer under the tongue Of the pa
tient to ascertain the temperature.
The paralytic man, wholly ignorant
Of the process to which he was to sub
init, but deeply impressed by DR.. Bed
does with the certainty Of its success,
no sooner felt the thermometer between
his teeth than he concluded the tails
man was in operation, and. in a burst
of enthusiasm. declared that he already
experienced the effects Of its benign in
fiuence throughout his whole body. The
opportunity was too tempting to be lost
Davy did nothing more, but desired his
patient to return ON the following day.
The same ceremony was repeated, and
the results followed, and ut the end of
u fortnight he was dismissed cured, no
remedy Of any kind except the Their
mometer having been used. New York
