Premiums on Gold Dollars.

Philadelphia Times.
 The United States gold dollar Is so scarce that dealers in old and rare coins are advertising everywhere for them, of- fering s150 to 8 apiece for as many as they can get.
 Since 1889 the United States hints have not coined any gold dollars. Since then their value has Increased steadily.
 In the mint in this city, where the dies for all United States currency are made, a reporter was yesterday given the pres ent value of gold dollar of 1889

Strange Case of George Fred.

New York Sun.
 The Hon George Fred Williams, for merly called by his friends the Dedham Demosthenes. is silent still and silent all. He took a vow of silence some time ago. Since then he has been as conspicuously closed as he used to be open. Possibly his physician advised him to rest. but surely he has rested long enough now to be weary. Utterance would be good for him and good for that part of the Mas sachusetts Democracy that reveres him. to prophecy" although he used to love to sit on tn etripod and prophecy Is so easy. Is he becoming cynical or is he accommodating and hoarding wisdom for future use?

Original Comment on Johnston's
 Marion Speech.

 Marion Standard.
 Ex-Governor Johnston's speech to the citizens of Marion in the court house last Thursday fell like a wet blanket on cold drizzly day. He attempted to size his crowd by putting questions, but no responses came. He could not tell from the demeanor whether his audience were free silver or the gold standard. He thought he would be certain and hit the bulls eye with one shot by chasing him self Hill Billie" but there were no Hill Bilie's' present. and further than a close scan of the speaker to ascertain what kind of looking fellow real "H1ll Billie is there was no change in the countenances of the attentive listeners. The cheering was confined to very few and came only when the Hill Billie ex- Governor would quit the trend of his unnteresting argument and crack stale joke Possibly a dozen tried to assume different character and appear like the Governor in his Hill Billie" pose at the conclusion Of his speech and would drop the shoulder laugh hysterically, muddle their words and put on face or ignorant brass, but the assumption was so un- natural and contrary to the long estab- lished and educated custom of intellec- tualty and they soon resumed their natural bearing. In fact the eX-Gov- ernor had forgotten that he was address Ing a cultured audience, and occasionally in his rough breaks, would apologize and call special attention of the reporter to his apology. The ex-Governor did make a lasting impr ession in some points raised; {; and as the writer promised both the speaker and the people to quote him cor rectly, We take occasion to do so here. In referring to his two administration as governor he said:

WOMAN Qn0
 SOCIETY.

When the young man arrived that night he announced with remorse to the girl that he had forgotten the candy. Crhis was really the first he had even told) Then he suggested hopefully to the girl that she might telephone for the partic- ular brand.
 The girl giggled with pleasure and ask ed how much she should order.
 "Oh, five pounds, or so,' replied the young man with the air of Pierpont Nor gan.
 You see he knew that the drug store was out of the brand.
 But-he had not counted on the enter prise of the firm nor the celerity of the express. When the girl left the telephone she assured the young man that the candy would shortly arrive-and it did.

.,.1 l.. august, when the great army If those who go away have departed with their troubles, the woman who stays at home begins to experience the joys Of her lot, and finds they are positive enough. In the first place. there is Rest. No summer resort or mountain ever pro- Vided such absolute rest as can be ob- taiEed by the woman who stays at home in August She has no social duties, and the door-bell seldom rings-to say noth- ing of the telephone. She finds time to read books, the titles of which are fa- miliar. but to her have been sealed; she embroders; if she Is musically inclined, she plays: if she is literary, she writes. (Mrs. MolHe Moore Davis of New Orleans says she does the most of her story writing in the summer when every one else is out of town); she takes long drives in the cool of the evening after sunset; above all else. she lolls when she feels like it-yes, 'lolls' is the best word to term it.
 And women are not alone in enjoying a vacation spent at home. l know young man in New York who determined one summer to take his fortnight outing in the city Instead of going with the crowd to one of the numberless resorts near by he remained in the quiet of his own home He arose in the morn ing when it pleased him; he visited art galleries and various points of interest which are always sought by visitors but seldom seen by New Workers; he spent delightful hours in neighboring library he lunched at uptown restaurants and enjoyed the change from the atmosphere of the busy mans downtown luncheon And at the end of the fortnight the fp light in the appearance of his bank ac- count.
 So the woman or man who stays at home finds compensation, often enough, and feels rewarded when the travellers return in October, worn out and jaded with the summer excitement.
 Then there are other troubles for which there are compensations in a greater or less degree. A girl once felt that she had a grievance. She was of the brunette type, and failed to understand why poets sang always of blue eyes and so seldom of brown. She felt personally aggrieved that brown eyes seemed not to inspire poetic fancy. So she asked a poet one day the reason.
 My dear" answered the poet 1t is not that we fail to appreciate the beauty of brown eyes and their limpid depths. We do, but it is so much easier to find mu- sical rhyme for blue than for brown. Il is not a mtter of choice, l assure you, bu, necessity
 The sentiment in the girl was shocked It was a surprise to know that poetry came from the head and not the heart She was glad that her eyes even with the aid of a rhyming dictionary did not afford sufficient flight for poetic fancy
 Then the poet wrote poem and likened her eyes to twilight on summer sea. And she felt that she was compensated for the sllgnts of the balance of the poets
