A Settled Question and Lost Cause.

1t happens that the States that will
be represented in the Senate bv sound
money Republicans comprise not on
ly considerable numerical majority
OF the IS commonwealth Of the I'm.
ion, but also include probably more
than two-thirds Of the population of
the country and more than three
fourths of its wealth. The political
complexion of the United States Sem
ate-with its six year tenure and It's
plan for retiring one third of the
members every two years-is not sub
ject to very rapid fluctuations. AS a
result Of this year 5 elections the free
silver program as a practical policy
OF the United States is blocked for at
least six or eight years. Many Of
those who have had their serious
doubts about the gold standard have
at least been discerning enough to
perceive that uncertainty in the mon
etary system of the United States is
exceedingly detrimental to the pros
perity of the country. After the ell
ection two years ago we did not hesi-
tate to declare that for practical pur-
poses the cause OF free siver had been
placed on the shelf along with other
lost causes, and that the best thing in
the world to do was to accept the ex-
isting monetary standard, raise crops,
carry on business, and consider that a
period of good times had made its adj
vent.-From Review of Reviews for

Concerning TOasts.

It is not correct for the person
who is being toasted, or the persons,
to drink with the others; even at a
bridal function the bride and groom
do not drink in their own honorj
but the proper thing for them to dc
as for any one who has been compli.
mented by health, is to immediate
ly propose toast in return to the
others, and that he may, of course
drink himself. Never does a toast

The writing sets are especially
pretty this autumn, and are made in
variety of styles. Some of the tap
estry with an embroidery of gold,
silver and spangles; others are of
velvet or of leather. The smartest
of all are the simple ones made in
the deft coloring, and comprising
everything that can be used on the
writing desk. The material used is
of blue denim, and the embroidery
is in white. The pattern of the EN- :
broidery is not elaborate, but is very
effective. Included in the nipple
ments necessary for well appointed
writing desk are the trays for letters
These are of different sizes, and are
made to match the letter-rack, the
portfolio, and all the other articles
They have ornamental handles, and
are extremely useful things. This
style of work has been very popular,
and the various examples of it that
are shown exhibit a most superior
class of workmanship.-Harper's

A Remarkable Ape.

Captain Armstrong, of the bi 2
Atlanta, now discharging her car
go of mahogany, cedar logs and
cocoanuts In Philadelphia, tells a
remarkable story of the sagacity
OF an ape in Canalite, United
States of COLOMBIA, where the tim
Der was taken aboard.
The monkey belongs to George
E: Emerson, of that city, who
was formerly in business at that
port. The animal is of large size,
weighing about sixty pounds.
His intelligence is something re-
markable, and It is said that on the
arrival of every ship he virtually
performs the duties of the
custom house officers there.
He will board the vessel
and run chat5ering around
the decks until the ship papers
are spread before him. after
which, seemingly contented, he
will go ashore. Captain Arm
strong says that the monkey has
taken several voyages on the
lumb~r RATS and is the pet of the
whole section,
The captain made al attempt
to capture the beast previous to
his sailing, as he wished to bring
him to Philadelphia and return
him to Mr. Emerson. Should he
again visit that couatry the caps
tain claims that he will certaini !
fleet the capture of the monkey.
