FINANCES OF NICARAGUA.
Failure of the Governments Attempt

New Orleans. June 21.-The steamer
Breifond, from Bluefields, brings news
that the effort of Nicaragua to retire the
paper currency and establish itself on a
metallic money basis has failed. The
foreign merchants who were asked to CO.
operate in the scheme on the theory that
they would be benefited by it, refused to
assist, realizing the possibility OF revo-
luton. In the event that the revolution
was successful. the scrip issued by the
present Government would be repudiated.
AS none of the merchants expressed a
willingness TO come TO the assistance of
Nicaragua the proposed plan was aban-

life was so early blighted, thy

who knows how many gentle

the echo of thy short, sweet life
on earth? Thy presence has
best and sweetened the home

DRY shall not fail. Tho the
mysterious works of God are
beyond the comprehension of
mortals, we must think His ways
are best. Just one more bright
Jewel was needed for the crown
of Him whom the angels praise,
and that jewel was little Blanche.
Parents and friends, Blanche
can no more come to you to
sWeeten and to cheer your lives.
Her days are over, and she is
now in eternal home of God,
waiting and watching for you.
We extend our heartfelt sympa-
