or Government Money.

At close Of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
Z" If that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be-
come indurated down to a. fix re,
then that government will flirnis ! its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will go to North America.
THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE
DESTROYED OR 1T WILL DE.
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON
THIS GLOBE"
The famous Hazard circular, to
capitalists in New York, and the Buell.
Bank circular to United States Sank
ers, both emanating from London, and
the fabulous corruption fund raised in
England and Germany, estimated at
81, 500, 900, were the agents that Sc
cured the closing of our minis against
silver.
The "walk into my parlor" policy
of England, during and since the
Spanish War, is the latest evidence
of English Diplomacy in shaping the
destiny of the United States Govern
ment.
Notwithstanding the famine price
Of wheat, the Spanish War, and fabu-
lous expenditures of money by our
government during the past year, gold
has increased in value eleven per cent.
and all other values decreased in the
same proportion.
For thorough understanding of
the money question, or silver issue,
the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly
given evidence of its ability to teach,
explain and produce all facts and
truth. 1t is a paper that ought and
can be read by all classes with pleas
ure and profit.

DOC THAT STEALS NEWS.
Takes the Morning Paper from Poop's's
Doorsteps

Philadelphia policemen are hunt
ing for thief that steals news, and,
according to present indications, it
will take the whole available force
to catch him. The description of the
culprit entered on the police blotter
reads: "Short, has four legs, two
dropping ears and long tail" There
is no classification as to color. The
offender belongs to that division Of
the canine species known as mongrel
Residents of the southeastern por-
ton of Philadelphia have been an
noyed by having their morning news
papers stolen from their doorsteps.
Complaints became so frequent that
a special detective was detailed to
watch for and catch the thief. Wide
awake and alert as this detective was,
it was long time before he learned
how the newspapers were really
stolen. - ,-s-ss4l., e~
The detective was watching one
morning at the parochial residence
of the Church of the Sacred Heart,
Third and Reed streets, from the
doorstep of which place the morning
paper had recently disappeared, when
he saw dog dash for the paper and
run swiftly away with it. SO aston
ished was he that he forgot to give
chase, and the animal succeeded in
getting away with his booty.
To the thefts of the dog the police
now ascribe all the complaints Of
newspapers missing from doorsteps
Before the dog dashes for his game
he makes careful detour Of the dis
trict, and if a bluecoat happens to be
near he will lower his tail and trot
lazily about with an innocent, visit
full look until the coast is clear, but
after he bags his newspaper he is so
alert that no policeman has been able
to catch him.
How the dog disposes Of his spoils
the police can only guess. They do
not think the papers he steals are re-
sold by anybody, but so many have
been missed that they intend to in
vestigate it thoroughly.-Philadel-
phia Times.

M HAVEN.

Our Journey now Ia ended
And our faint feet have descended
TO the valley where they tended
where the twilight shadows fall.
We have reached-by Hope inspired,
The sweet haven we desired,
And we do not feel so tired
After all!
Though the way WAS dark before us,
And the storm clouds gathered Ger us,
Yet the faith within us bore us
Through whatever did befall.
Though with Sorrow-having met her
Oft we supped and felt her fetter,
Yet we feel the end is better
After all!
We have passed each place of pleasure
Drained each bright and brimmng meas
ure-
Counted every store of treasure
Braved' the storms that did befall;
Bitter storms, where lightning quivered,
And the roof-tree-it was shivered;
But our sad souls were delivered
After all!
We have now no cares to bind us;
Though the wayside dust remind US
or the graves we left behind us,
Where the leaves of autumn fall,
Yet we look not back in sadness,
And we murmur not in madness,
For our grief hath brought us gladness
After all!

"Why, who on earth would have

that | could see it was painful to her.

not an altogether agreeable one.

again into spasms.

WELLINGTON AT WATERLOO
Goodness of the Great Commander il
Time of Battle.

The GOODNESS in action of great
commanders like Marlborough, Well
ington, John Nicholson and Stone
wall Jackson has been worth whole
battalions in the fighting line. Basil
Jackson, who had frequent oppor-
tunities of seeing the "Iron Duke"
during the hours of the terrible Sun
day, has recorded the interesting and
Characteristic fact that the only sign
Of nervousness that he remarked in
him was that in a dangerous crisis he
observed him moving in and out the
folds of the powerful field glass which
he carried, and of which he madesuch
admirable use in this and his other
campaigns,
BY the way, English telescopes Of
the time were far better than the
French, and it was looked upon as a
prize when one of them fell into their
hands. In one of Wellington's bat
ties against Soult he was able to read
the very able generaPG intentions by
his gestures to an aido-de-camp, and
accordingly took prompt measures to
counteraet his plans; and years after
ward, when they were both old men,
he astonished the marshal by telling
him how he had defeated him.
Capt. Shaw, later on Sir James
Shaw Kennedy, gives another exam
pie of the dukes astonishing cool
ness. Near the close of the day, about
seven p. m, he galloped up to the
duke, then directing the defense be-
ing made by Maitland's guards, with
the momentous news that his line,
the right center, was open for the
whole space between Halkett's and
Kemp's brigades. All that the
duke replied was: 81 shall order the
Brunswick troops to the spot, and
other troops besides; 60 you, and get
all the German troops of the division
ON the spot that you can, and all the
guns you can fnd;" and so he did.
The duke himself led five battaions
of the Brunswickers into the gap,
and with the charmed life which he
bore ON the great day, when these
young and untried troops staggered
under the fierce fire they encoun-
tered, and the vigorous onset of the
French, he threw himself among
them, and by voice and gestures raj
lied them into the fighting line. And
then, his dangerous duty done to his
right center, he galloped back fur
ther to his right to prepare for the
storm just about to break--Napol-
cons final effort with his guard
which he only employed in his bat
ties in some great crisis Of the strug-

WHERE THERE ARE NO TAXES.
Prosperous Little Island Community OFF
the Coast of Maine.

LIQUIDS island, on the coast of
Maine, nearhistoric Pemaquid, in the
Lincoln county town of Bristol, is one
of the very few places on earth where
there are no taxes This island,
otherwise known as Muscongus, was
overlooked when Maine became a
state, and was put into no town or
county. 1t is said that during the
war the people cast their votes for a
time in the town of Bristol until
some election officer discovered the
illegality of the vote The island was
first settled by John Loud, a deserter
from a British man-of-war, and his
great-grandchildren are now prom
inent inhabitants. BY voluntary
contributions school is maintained,
Che parents paying four dollars for
each child. The school term averages
eight months in each year, and there
is an average attendance of Is schol
ars. Catching bait for the fishermen
of Boston, Gloucester and Portland
is the most profitable business Of the
people, but when bait is slack in run
ming they turn their attention to lob
stering, mackerel fishing and catch
ing porgies for the big oil and fertil-
izing factory opposite the island Of
Bristol. After a successful haul of
bait large white flag is hoisted on
the high ground in the center of the
island. With glass it may be dis
covered far out at sea, whence come
the Grand Bankers and others like
buzzards attracted by the casualties
of battle. The people have comfort
able homes, and are prosperous and
contented. Like the fishermen of
Deer Isle, they are famous for their
skill as sailors. - Portland (Me.)
