has no bodyguard well, I'll be one OF
his bodyguard.
You all know I've no love for Yam
Frank Blair if could, but Gen. Grant
was our friend and neighbor. Why.
I've seen him give his last S. to a
poor widow whose house was burnt
down. You all remember Tom Harris
widow. Some of you fellows hauled
props with him, and now when he
trusts us and comes home here with
out bodyguard he expects to be treat
ed like a gentleman, and by the AL
mighty he shall be, il my fist has any
weight
Hes a id Yankee soldier He's
killing our men," yelled some one. Its
all war, anyhow"
"Well, kidnappin' amt war;" replied
Abner. Its sneaking business to
Jump in on a man when he's home to
see his wife and children, and I'm not
going to be party to 1T.
More than this. IT'S easy to carry
out your plan. We could kidnap Grant
easy enough, but what would the
Northern armies be doing tomorrow
and the day after? There wouldn't be
man of us living, nor one brick on top
Of another in three days from now. I've
been hafnessed up by 'em once, and I
don't intend to be again." His words
and voice carried conviction.
@This stops right now. 1t don't go
another step. Gen. Grant will sleep UNI
disturbed tonight and he goes back to
ST. Louis and Cairo undisturbed. If
he is killed or captured let it be done
by Gen. Pillow or Gen. Buckner in a
fair and square fight"
The meeting ended right there. The
hotheads apologized, and the peddler
skunk away. "Ah, that was big speech
you made" said the younger brother,
as they went across the fields. You're
right, but it's terrible temptation.
Grant seems to be going up steadily.

of the Welsh tin plate trade" The
term suicide is rather uncalled for.
If the trade is ended by American ac-
ton we should rather call it murder
the first blow having been admins
tered by the Mckinley tariff and the
mortal stroke by the Dingley bill. The
Welsh makers could not help this, and
it is not their fault if the American
works, brand new in all their appoint
ments, turn out plates little cheaper
than the Welsh mills. Besides, the
Americans get their tin bars cheaper.
With all this it is surprising that the
Welshmen can make any struggle at
all. Yet they are doing so, and dis
patched 21,021 tons abroad last month
against 2O,726 tons in the same month
last year, which does not look like
throwing up the sponge. Of course,
the loss of the American trade is a
great disaster, but it came in the nat
ural order Of things, and must be ac-
cepted atiently.-Hardware, Metals
and Machinery, London.

A Woman's Nerve.

Gone of the most remarkable things
1 ever saw was the capture OF ten reb-
els by woman" said veteran the
other day. 81 was in Kirby Smiths
army on the retreat from Cumberland
GAP. One morning, wnen our regiment
was about twenty-six miles from Wild
cat mountain, some of us saw file OF
ten men, all of them Confederates,
marching toward our lines, and behind
them marched woman with a mus
ket in her hands. AS soon as they got
to the Federal lines the woman turned
the men over to our colonel as pris-
OnerS.
Several of us who were on duty
around headquarters crowded around
her and asked her how she had man
aged to capture ten men single-handed.
She told us that her husband had en-
listed in the Union army and left her
to take care of the house, which lay
between the two armies. Eleven Con
federates had come to the house that
morning and proceeded to make them
selves at home, killing her chickens
and roasting them, and taking up the
carpets to make horse blankets. They
broke up lot Of furniture, and the
woman began to get mad. So, when
they sat down to eat the stolen chick
ems. she took their muskets away from
the corner in which they had placed
them, retaining two for her own use,
and then, opening the door of the room
in which they were sitting, Informed
them that they were her prisoners.
Zone of the men made move to
grab the gun, but she let him have 1t
right between the eyes, and he dropped
and never said another word. She
grabbed up the other gun and coolly
informed the other ten that If they
didn't march to the Union camp she
would shoot the first one that broke
ranks. They were badly scared, and
nonesof them were in hurry to meet
the fate of their comrade, SO they
went" /.

what they can do; if not we have only
to look at the tin plate trade. In this
branch they, in very short time, built
up huge industry, driving our Welsh
friends practically out of their market,
and have now made their first ship

According to the latest advices from

Company, the objects of which are to
enter and seek trade in the British
markets. The officers OF the company

value. No doubt, it's value by interna-
tional coinage at the old value ratio OF
16 to 1 or Is to would so stimulate the
silver-m mining industry that from plenfl-
fulness, compared with gold, it would.
in spite of ratio, be deprecated and
fuctuating money The advocates Of
free and unlimited coinage seem to ig-
more that natural result Of the almost
unlimited production Of silver bullion.
Silver, during the past decade, has
ceased to be precious metal.
The second cause is the growing GER
tainty that there is sure to be enough
gold to make it "the money basis of the
world" in connection with the free use
Of silver as subsidiary coin. The
worlds annual output of gold has dou-
bled, and more than doubled, during
the past decade The annual output OF
gold this year is Of greater value than
the output Of both metals twenty-five
years ago. At the same time, the faclll-
ties Of exchange have been so increased
as to economize the use of gold as
money. If the output of iron or any
other commodity were increasing as is
the output Of gold at the present time
it would become drug like silver bull
ion and fall to a nominal price.
Another cause Of the failing interest
in what's commonly called bimetallism
is the growing conviction that double
standard is impracticable. The history
Of coinage in our own country sustains
the theory of a single measure Of val
+ ues. When the output of silver was
small, compared with what it might be
to-day, the mercantile ratio of the two
metals changed from time to time, in
spite of coinage ratios. The intelligent
consideration of the question in connec-
ton with the history Of coinage in this
and other countries has changed from
