a BUGABOO.

Among the arguments frequently ad
vanced by the advocates of the gold
standard is the Que to the effect that
the adoption of tha silver policy would
result in the instant withdrawal from
the country Of all the gold now here,
amounting to about six hundred mill
ions. and that in consequence of this
sudden and severe contraction of the
currency there would he panic and
business disaster. Even 50 intelligent
and scholarly n man rs Carl Schurz
was guilty of making this assertion in
his recent speech at Chicago. As III i'm
mediate con junction with this argu-
ment most speakers and writer's also
assert that free coinage will result III
flooding the country with silver from
the rest of the world and n great infia-
tion Of our currency, the average man
is confused and ends in thinking thlt
the speaker is inconsistent, or that the
subject is too deep for comprehension.
The simple truth of the matter Is that
the speaker who makes this claim takes
very superficial view of tile subject.
They have heard Of the Gresham law,
so-called, which shows that the cheaper
money Invariably drives ont the dcarer
and they see that az soon as the free
coinage policy is adopted gold VIII go
10 q premium. They connect tie two
facts and assume that gold will immc-
diately take wings and fly away. a
very little thought will show that there
is no need to be alarmed OH this ac-
count. All the gold in the country IS now
practically in the banks and United
States treasury In case the free coin
age policy is adopted it will still be
there; and will remain there. The banks
are obliged bt law to keep certain
amount Of money on hand as reserve
for the protection of their depositors
and bill-holders Gold will still he legal
tender moner when free silver is adopt
ed. and the best kind of money. just as
it is now. The banks will not rush into
the market to get rid Of it, but will keep
it as a part of their reserve and Will

il will. according TO both the free silver
advocates and the adherents of the
gold standard, continue to increase i'll
value compared with silver. 1t will not.
to be sure be in circulation but it viii
nevertheless continue to keep tile circu-
lation at its present point because it
will avoid the necessity Of calling other
money from active circulation for re-
serve purposes. 1t may eventually leave
the country. but the process will be
very gradual one. and as it goes other
money will take its place. 1t will not
cause any contraction either inimedi-
ateIy or in the future. I'm fact, it may
never leave the country at all. Being
the best kind of reserve, owing to its
constantly increasing value. it is quite
likely that the banks will gather in as
much as they can and retain it for the
purpose of attracting patronage by the
strength of their position, as well as
for ilie sake of making a profit on
fund which will otherwise earn moth
ing.

In one case a valuable ring was lost.
Years afterward, when n floor was re-

half-grown at the time. had thrust lis
head into it, had thus been caught and
had grown until it was strangied.

Fat meI must be on their guard when
travelling on French railroads. A $40
pound citizen of Lille who had bought
third-class ticket, after failing to
wedge through the doors of a third
class and of second-class carriage, en-
tered a frst-class compartment and
rode to his place of destination. The
railroad sued him for the difference in
the fare, to which his defense was that,
having sold the ticket. the company
was bound to provide doors to the
third-class carriages that would admit
him. The court, however, held that he
must have known his own girth and the
size of the carriage doors, and should
have bought ticket admitting him to
a wide enough compartment. 1t re-

When Thomas Defeated Hood.


James Ii. Wilson, of Delaware. IS
the man who made old Gen. Thomas

correspondent. WilsCn came West TO

Sherman. After the Atlanta cam
paign Wilson was instructed to do the

The Loudes, Noise Ever Heard.


The loudest noise ever heard was
that which issued from the throat Of
the great volcano in Erakatoa. an islet
lying in the Straits Of Sunda between
Sumatra and lava. at 10 o'clock on
Monday morning. Aug. -. 1883. As
the previous night wore on, the noises
increased in intensity and frequency.
The explosions succeeded each other so
rapidly that q continuous roar seemed
to issue from the island. The critical
moment was now approaching. and the
people of Batavia did not sleep that
night. Their windows quivered with
the thunders from Krakatoa. which re-
sounded like the discharge of artillery
in their streets.
Finally, at 10 o'clock on Monday
morning. a stupendous convulson took
place which far transcribed any of the
shocks which had preceded it. This
huge effort it was which raised the
mightiest noise ever heard on this
globe. Batavia is ninetyfI ur miles
distant from Krakatoa. AT Carimon.
Java. 800 miles away, reports were
heard on that Monday morning which
led to the belief that there must be
some vessel in the distance which was
discharging its guns as Signals of dis
tress. The authorities sent out boats
to make search: they presently return
ed. as no ship could he found in want
of succor.
At Macassar. in Celebe>. loud eXplO-
sions attracted the notice of everybody.
Two steamers were hastily sent out to
find what was the matter. The sounds
had travelled all the way from the
Straits of Sunda. a distance of 969
miles.
But mere hundreds of miles will not
suffice to illustrate the extraordinary
distance to which the greatest noise
ever heard was able To penetrate. The
figures have to be expressed in thou
sands. In the Victoria Plains. in West
Australia. the shepherds We're startled
by noises like heavy cannonading. Ii
was some time afterward before they
learned that their tranquility had been
disturbed by the grand events then
trauspiring at Erakatoa, LOO miles
away.
