Strange Money In tho Mountains.


1.-THE strangest money l ever saw"
said a drummer for a Main street house,
twas in the mountain districts of Ken
lucky and West Virginia. I was max
ing my s%emiannual tour through this
district, and I stopped one day at a lit.
tie grocery and saloon. While I was
there a big husky mountaineer entered
the place and called for a drink. AS he
finished gulping it down he reached into
+ big bulky pocket and drew forth what
looked to be a coonskin. He laid the
skin on the counter, the barkeeper took
the skin, and opening q drawer hauled
out a rabbit skin, which I suppose was
the change. The mountaineer picked up
the rabbit, skin and started to the front
part Of the store, which was the grocery.
He there bought q twist Of tobacco and
rendered the rabbit skin in payment.
He received q big twist Of long green,
and I was surprised to see the store
keeper reach in another drawer and ten
der him a squirrel skin. The mountain
Ger tucked the squirrel skin in his pock-
ct, walked out, unhitohed his horse and
rode away.
II became interested and engaged the
proprietor in conversation. He told me
that sometimes he would go months
without seeing any real money. and
that the mountaineers used the skins in
oil kinds Of trades, such as buying
horses, etc. He said that four times 4
year a hide buyer from Lexington or
Cincinnati visited the country and
bought up all the skins, which were
generally concentrated in the few stores
In the vicinity. "-Louisville Dispatch.

REST.

Let us rest ourselves a bitl
Worry Wave your hand to II.
Kiss your finger tips and smile
It farewell little whilei
Weary Of the weary way
We have come since yesterday.
Let 1t fret us not in dread
OF the weary way ahead.
While we yet look down-not up.
To seek out the %buttercup
And the daisy where they wave
Ger the green home Of the grave.
Let us launch us smoothly ON
Listless pillows of the lawn
And drift out across the main
OF our childish dreams s8ain.
Voyage off beneath the trees,
Ger the fields enchanted seas,
Where the lilies are our sails
And u 9 gulls nightingales.
Where no wilder storm shall beat
Than the wind that waves the wheat
And no tempests burst above
The old laughs we used to love.
Lose all troubles; gain release,
Langour and exceeding peace,
Cruising idly DER the vast
Calm midocean Of the past.
Let US rest ourselves a biti
WorryP Wave your hand to 1t.
Kiss your finger tips and smile
II farewell q little whilei

One of the grandest agencies which en-.
%lightened Science has discovered to relieve
motherhood from excessive suffering is the
"Favorite Prescription" devised by DR..
R. v. Pierce, chief consulting physician of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y. This wonderful "Pre-
scription +" irbues the entire nervous sys-
tenn with natural, healthy vitality; gives
elastic vigor to the delicate organism spe-
cially concerned in motherhood; renders
the prospective mother strong and cheerful
and makes the coming of baby entirely free
from danger and almost free from pain.

Port Royal and Savannah arrive at their
destination in those cities.
Congressman Elliott was at the war de-
partment to-day and he was told that the
work at Port Royal and Georgetown would
be pushed rapidly. Georgetown will be
defended by 7-inch seige howitzers, which
Will be shipped there at once. Col. Elliott
also went to the navy department TO dis
cuss some Port Royal dry dock matters.
Even the persistent efforts of the peace
at-any-price contingent. under the leader
ship of Senator Mark Hanna, seem 10 be OF
no further avail with the President. II is
said that the President has been carried
along by the tide Of popular sentiment
far beyond Senator Hanna and the peace
commissioners who have stood with him.
until IL seems that he has reached tho
point whore it is impossible for him to
retrace his steps without mourning the dis
pleasure of the war party throughout the
country, who will never be quite satisfied
until Spain Is forced TO make some sub
stantiai reparation for the destruction or
the Maine.
A senator who saw the President to-day
says The latter has been greatly strength
eued in his warlike attitude within the
past twenty-four hours by communications
he has received from representative men
In all parts of the country, urging thar
the Spanlards be driven from Cuba. The
senator went on to say that "The flood
OF kilograms which poured In upon the
President a few days ago from the repre-
sentauves of financial institutions urging
peace at any price have brought about a
reaction in public sentiment, ana the peo-
pie who are not able TO invest In the lux
ury of telegraph messages are now using
the mails 10 tell the President and their
representatives In Congress that the Span
iards must be driven from Cuba, even at
the expense of plungfng the country into
war,
In spite of these warlike declarations
coming direct from the White House,
there is a strong sentiment prevailing here
that Senator Mark Hanna sizes up the
situation correctly when he says that
every day the message Is delayed gives
reasonable men more time to seriously con-
slider the terrible responsibility of resort
ing TO war so long as there is q chance
to secure honorable peace.

tion of negotiations il can be cited that
to-day showed the seventh consecutive dav
since the Spanish minister called at the
state department
naval ana war preparations are proceed
ing Systematically, but the larger details
of preparations have been shaped and
there is little more to do than TO see these
regularly executed. While there are many
naval movements, there has not vet been
any decisive order affecting the movement
of the fleets.
a report was current to-day that the
spanish fleet of cruisers had sailed from
Cadiz for American waters. There was
no confirmation of this, either at the Span
ism legation, or at the navy department.
AT the capitol the senators who are de-
voting themselves to the task of securing
resolution on the Cuban question on
which Practical unanimity on the part
OF the Senate can be obtained were quite
active, and when the day closed felt that
they had made appreciable progress. There
was Joint meeting of the leading mem
bers Of the steering committees of the var
lous parties during the day in the rooms
OF the committee on appropriations in
which the whole situation was canyassed.
The movement to consider the whole Gu
pan question in executive session is gain
ing ground.
The senators who have looked up the
precedents find the only parallel case 20
the present one to be that when war was
declared against Great Britain in 1872. The
declaration was considered in secret ses-
sion.
Tonight the conservative senators who
are opposing any recognition of the pres
ent Cuban government claim that a ma
Jorlty OF the committee on foreign rela-
tlohs VIII now support this position, con-
tenting themselves with general declar-
alton for the freedom and independence of
the island coupled with a proposition for
intervention in the present war between
spain and Cuba. They count upon get
ting the votes of six Of the eleven mem
bers of the committee, and say this num-
Der may still be increased.

SPAIN TOO PROUD TO SURRENDER
viii Fight the United States as
Long as Possible.


London, April 9, 5 a. m.-The Madrid
correspondent of the Standard, telegraph
ing Friday night, says: Surprise and
perplexity have been caused in Madrid by
the news of the steps of the European
powers in Washington, which tends to con-
firm the prevalent idea that the same in
fuences are acting in concert with the me-
diation of the Pope to induce the govern
ment and the Queen Regent 10 meet Pres
ident Mckinley half way. Official circles
are much pleased by the new aspect of the
crisis, which is said to increase the pros
pect of a pacific solution.
1.-The most curious feature throughout
the crisis has been the fact that during the
past six months the Spanish people and
their rulers have not seemed to realize
that the American people and President
were in earnest, though reluctant to go to
war. In the United States diplomacy and
executive seem hardly to have realized
how difficult it would be 10 induce proud
Spain to relinquish her hold upon Cuba
and Porto Rico.
up TO the very idSt moment diplomacy
and the Presidents have so little under,
stood the real state of things in the do
mestic affairs of Spain as to fancy that the
pressure of financial and money interests,
the arguments of a few far seeing and en-
lightened men like Senors Moret, Gullon
and Puigceiver, and the alleged immense
influence of the Pope over The Spanish
court and the Catholics could weigh in
the balance against the popular and mill
tary classes, against the deep and wide
spread hostility of all classes toward the
United States and against the fear in the
court and The government of playing into
the hands of the Carlsts and the Repub-
licans of Weyler and political agitators.
"A majority of the nation, from the
highest to the lowest, believe If Cuba must
be lost it is better to lose 1t, after having
inflicted serious, and, if possible pro.
longed harm upon the nation that has so
long and deeply wronged Spain in Cuba.
"Despite the profound animosity pre-
vailng against America so far not a single
act of aggressiveness has been reported
against private residents or the official
representatives of the United States. New
ertheless the government and the authori-
ties are taking precautions at Madrid and
In the provinces lest the violent articles
of the Republican and Independent press
should fan the popular excitement"
