HOW TO GET SILVER OD'i Thomas 11. Sherman, late Consul at Liverpool, hud conversation with a New York paper the other day on the •silver question. He met and talked with many leading men in the business world during his raaidenoe in the great

English port and heard many suggestions on the subject. He said that anxiety, if not excitement, runs as high there as here as to the action of Congress. Stid he: "One of the suggested remedies seems worth mention lis affording perhaps temporary lulp at tbe present moment. England uses no bauk Motes less than (about #-•'). auvl the result is a constant reserve of gold In the pockcts and tills of the nittlou. Metal must lie used as circulating currency la lieu of small noujs, and setting two and a half sovereign? (lO.R.O) as the HT capita for tiie 1,'niU'fi Kingdom shows that a permanent pocket and easli drawer reserve of .CI00,000.000 in gold coin Is, a»t role, floating in tlio Unllt-d Kingdom. In the Cmial States let uo smaller bank note than HO be printed: no gold piece issued smaller than (°'0. 'Hie result is obviou*. At first there would be general eomplaints of bulk and kiconveuiouce, but it would be oil uieonvenlence. The dainty Parisian lady gels accustomed to using a pockotful of 'curt wheel' •liver llvo-franc pieees, ami so would the bulk of the people In America. What would this mean, but that if sixty millions of people average 110 of stiver eieii tor circulation antl this would Include as in England, the bills of the banks as well as the large shopkeepers ami tnulert. You would thereby obtain a eiroula tion ot f600,000.1)00 of silver, Instead of lettlng it lie in the cellars of the Treasury, an be'.ng subject to wear and tear tt naturally would, from time to time necessitate recoinage.

Mr. Sherman was one of the most capable and zealous representatives in the consular eervice, and what he says is worthy of thoughtful consideration. Everybody knows that the great draw back to the Bilver is to get it out of the treasury vaults and into circulation among the people. Even such silver bugs as Stewart, Teller, Wolcott, Bland. Vest and the whole tribe of the extreme champions of free coinage, when they walk up to the treasury counter to get their warrants cashed for salary, absolutely refuse to accept silver dollars. If there was some way to compel congressmen to nooept their $4) month in silver it wouid auon find its way into the pockets ot t'ue people. There can be no logio&l objeotion to Mr. Sherman's suggestion exoept the inconvenience of carrying the stiver, bat the benefit to the entire nation mnst be paramount to the slight personal discomfort of individuals, especially Congressmen, and particularly the extremists named.

IT begins to look as though tbe Chicago platfoi was more for a show than for business. It denounces the Sherman law as a "cowardly makeshift," and although the Democracy has a good working majority in both houses of Congress the prospects for its repeal are not ut all flattering. After all it liR6 been developed that the majority of the Democrats are not

WAS

Mark Stanley

As it amounted to several thousands of dollars, his future was now reasonably secure for a number of ycara.

Thus protected, so far as actual necessities were concerned, he devoted himself to pondering upon what he considered the vng-nrics and the probabilities of life. Two of bis mother's favorite aphorisms. "Virtue ha6 its reward," and "Bo sure your sin will find you out," had been constantly dinned into his ears through all his childhood and youth. These two sayings, more than anything else, had given form and complexion to his Vermont life. The promise and the threat about equally determined the course of his steps, and he had no doubt that both would be exemplified and illustrated in everything which he did. Consevjueatly, when he aroused himself from the negative somnolence of his earlier days and decided to en tor into matrimony and the rest of the serious business of life, he watched, naturally, on every hand, for the fulfillment of what he had accepted as the ewe great laws of life. By this means his lines of thought were not only narrowed, but he was, practically, prevented from thinking at all. He dared do notfiing but keep his mind fixed upon these two principles and shrink from the awful consequences of going against them. But when he ahad exchanged the depressing limits of his, father's house and his mother's religion for tho liberality and freedom of thought and action which he found in New York, his mind met with a severe •hock. «The first effect of the difference between what he found, and what he had been led to believe that he would find, in the great city, was bewildering and painful. By it ho was nearly redu_od to idiocy, tils wife saw, but (jouldneltheriundcrstand'aor appreciate the ttraugo condition of hor husband's mind. At last, after tivoy had left the olty well behind thorn ^nd had begun orosstng the prairies, Mark Stanley's mind made its first buffot against the restricting bars which hitherto had hindered its independent exercise. But this first revolt against old beliefe was by no means final. He could not all at once rid himself of that whieh he had so Song accepted a3 the sole method and conduct of life. Again and again would he end these oonstact tumults by casting off the old hampering fears and doubts Vut it was not until the long journey over the prairies and up the plains was nearly accomplished that ho felt that he had any right to exercise tho functions of thought and judgment. But suoh a struggle—with a nature whose inherent boldness and stubbornness preoept and maxim had always enslaved- could not fail to leave lasting •oars. Mark Stanley rose above the puniness which had madehis parentsdespise him, notwithstanding that it was the renult of their teachings but the change was so pronounced, so remarkable, that it germinated and fostered in him a tendency to doubt and suspect everything with which he came in contact Ho forced himself to accept tho conclusion that there was no truth anywhere, and that the only ev.l in the whole universe was weakness. His attempts to •xplaln ara old thing"*, and to thrust upon his wife the harsh theories which he had evolved out of the ashes of his dead faith, so seriously grieved and hurt her that he found much difficulty in consoling her. lie saw that she turned from the new principles, which he intended should govern tho rest of his life, more because she could not comprehend them and him than because they were repugnant to her as the tenets of apostasy. It. was plain tljat she would nevor be able to grasp the ideas with which his' mind was now filled: in fact, unless he could reaoncile himself to constant expressions of disapproval he would have to keep those ideas wholly from her.

•ft hold them together It hU dinposition tc shirk responsibilities, end his disposition made no exception of this Instance. Ho regarded uncongenial persons and conditions very much as a club-man regards an illfitting garment and the comparison held good eren bo far as tlio mutter of rida&uoc. His wife was very beautiful and sweet, and tvhon his inind was not absorbed with rital topics she still held him by the power of the old jiuilueuees which flr&t brought Mark

Stanley to her feet. How long he would hare tolerated her, and what the final outcome would have been,

Dosborough that Murk was short ol His failure to find her, the attitude money, insisted upon his ac-eeptinir as talren by his parents, and his lack of a present a liberal sum from her. He declined this ns a g-ift. but expressed his wiiiiugnsss to receive it as loan.

success in tho mines only widened the differeuco between tho principles of his former life and thoso of his present life. The interest tvhluh Dubb and Droopy had manifested in him only tended, by some strange law of contradiction, to make him the more thoroughly despise everything which his parents had taught him was honest, •irtuaus. and right. On his way from Red Mountain to San Franolsoo he had flrmiy resolved to go direot.iy against every belief of his childhood aud youth. Arriving in ban Francisco, he soon saw that man's foremost interest and aim was the obtaiuuient of place. This no sooner impressed him than he swore he would lift himself into success by the very first means which presented itself. Almost instantly, as if in answer to his now aspirations and to facilitate him in carrying into effect the Bubstauce of his oath, he heard of tho expected coming of the Mavdews. llero, then, was his chance.

Five years before, the Slaydews had spent a summer In Arlington, in a cottage near the Stanley farm. Miss Maydew was thon a gt:i of fifteen. She was both a romp and a rose-bud, and her head was crammed full of healthy, pretty romance, which she drew from the books she read. When Mark Stanley first saw hor, she was such a revelation to him. in beauty, that he stopped and stood stock-still in the Church door, staring ut her. For this his mother had thai-ply reproved him, declaring that Mies Maydew was a temDtation of the devil.sent to wean him from paths of right. After that, Mark shunned her as if she had been a plague. Late in the summer, when she was romping beside the Battenldll, a mishap sc~t her, with great splash, into one of the .deepest pools in the oeantiful little river. But for the chance presence of Mark, who brought her out on dry land, Mise Ma3'de\v would have drowned for hor feet were entangled in some tough aquutio vines, which held her fast. For tftis, she regarded him as a very grc.IG hero and her father had looked upon him with favor, until, in answer to Mr. Maydew's profuse t.himks,Mark had said,— "Don't thank me: thank the Lord. It was the Lord's doings, and I was only the miserable instrument In His hands.'-

When Mark had said this, Mr. Maydew arose in disgust: piety in words was one thing which he could not stand and no one ever dared mention Mark Stanley's name to him again, Miss Maydew, however,took another view of the case. To her. Mark Stanley -was a sort of rural Galahad and she assured him that he could depend upon her if he ever needed friendship. In fact, but for the dampening effect of his mother's remark, which so closely associated the devil with Miss Maydew and so made her ine'.ijrble to Mark, there is no doubt but th&t he wouid at onoe have f.-.ilen despe.stely in love with the be*.utiful girl. Had he done so, she, unquestionably, would have reiprooated the feeling, because of the hiffh opinion she entertained of what she considered his courage and heroism. Twice did she tvrile lo him after leaving Arlington, and both of these letters were immediately returned to her by the mother of her Galahad and with the souond letter Mrs. John Stanley, over her mean, cramped little signature, declared that Miss Maydew was a "brazen husuy." After that, Mark Stanley never heard of Miss Maydew, until th*i California newspapers begun discussing her imminent visit to San Francisco.

Mark at once set nbout scheming" He must turn her coming to practical ac:oant in some way but hov should hedo it? Hy borrowing alrr^e sum of money of her and then absconding? No that would result in unpleasant consequences—which would be weak and weakness was now tho sole thing which he considered evil. Then.he decided to make the conditional compact with Judge Desborough, since he plainly foresaw that Miss Maydew would be certain to slckt of the importunlngs of the speculators and go lionm in disgust.

Before he had put aside the overpowering restraints of form and habit wuich, in tho p.i5t, had made independent and original thought impossible to him, he had regarded himself as her inferior, homo in disgust.

j-1 Young Woman,

Vomitf Adolphus Fltzwilllam, he loved a fair UlllHl, Hut to ask her to marry iihn lie was afraid. Hccausoof catarrh which she hud very hud: FCK) much so thai oltcn the youth WAS quite jrluri To omit, at th-' parting, the kiss ol the lover. The reason of this she set out to discover. "(Jainnli makes me loathsome. It's fatal lo love. o, darling Adolphus, by all that's above, 1 vc-w I'd not lose thee Its metldng there Is To drl out catarrh and sweeten a kiss."

So this wise young lady began searching tor a cure, and good luck attended her. She foti td Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy at the dpjy store and felt convinced that a preparation which the proprietors had such cohthlcnce in that they wore willing to offer to pay $500 for a case they cannot cure, must be worth trying. She bought it. She tried it. cured her. And when Adolphiih kissed her at the altar last. week, her kiss was as sweet aud pure as roses in June.

Girls, a word of advice: If you want a lover to stay a plover, you must get ri.'i of catarrh. Do as this sensible girl did. and get tbe only sure remedy for tnis disgusting and dangerous disease—Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. ..

When B&by was sick, wo gave her Castorla. When she was a Child, she cried for CastorU. Whon she became Miss, sho clung to Castorl*. tirhen ehe had Children, she gave thorn Costori*.

Safe, Sure and. Speedy.

No external remedy yet devised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully as Allcock's Porous Plasters. They arc safe because they contain no deleterious drugs anil are manufactured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingredients which :»rc exactly adapted to the purposes for which a plaster is required. They are speedy in their action because their medicinal qualities gp right to their work of relieving pain and and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin. Do not be deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for Alieock's, and let no solicitation or explanation induce you to accept a substitute.
