china and silver, having a chef and
butler in the background and a per

for the hour of retirement? No; better
the mattress of husks and the menu of
the guide. The artificial environments
must make the guest, fresh from the
city and parlor car. feel that urban
existence has been dragged into the
Wilderness. The silences of the night
are better than the gossip of guests,
however estimable; the twitter of the
birds sweeter than the most skilful
performances upon the piano; the I'M
certainties of the pursuit of elusive
wild creatures more fascinating than

WHERE THE NEW GOLD GOES.

This years new gold. of which there
will be more than 400 million dollars
worth will be quickly absorbed by the
great banks of the civilized nations and
the national treasures; While perhaps
a quarter part of it will be used in the
arts. Six of the bigger pc ks of con-
tlnental Europe increased tAeir accum-
ulations OF gold by some $3.50, 00G. 900 in
the year ending with June 10, and now
hold the huge amount of 1864, $50, 900.
the Bank of France alone having on
hand SAC, 130,0 900, an increase over the
previous year of Sis O30O00. In pre-
paration for war contingencies. as well
as anticipating that if peace continues
there will be need of an ample backing
OF enterprise by means of credit, the
great banks of the world are very keen
in securing all the gold they can lay
hands on. India is the sink of the
precious metals" so also is Egypt given
to boarding gold. and Lord Cromer,
Who has governed the country, and
should know what he Is talking about,
says that the Egyptians hoard ESQ. O00,-
eco, or $3.50, 900, 900. of the yellow metal
every year. An almost incredible state
ment, but Lord Cromer is serious
man, and knows the Land of the
Pharaohs-Mexican Herald.
