REPEAL PASSES THE HOUSE. The bill to repeal the purchasing clause of what is known 08 the Sherman Inw passed the the House yesterday by vote of 240 nyoe to 110 nays, a majority of 130. The bill was passed by much larger vote than its friends antic', pnted. The first vote was taken on an amendment offered by Mr. Bland, which provided for free coinage at a ratio of 10 to 1. This was defeated by a vote of 220 to 121. The House' then successively voted on amendments providing ratios from 17 to 1 np to 20 to 1, but each of these amendments was voted down by larger majorities than tha first, 10 to 1. The proposition to re-establish the Bland Allison act was then voted upon and defeated by a majority ot 77. All ib*» amendments having been voted down the question of unconditional repeal carried by a largo vote. On tho h. v-iral propositions ConRrwaman BrooV»ir.) voted in favor of thr rfuio of 10 tr 1, but against all the other ratios. voted to re-enact the Blr.nd luw, all these amendments w«re (1 lie voted for unconditional re.1 ihus saved bis bacon, squaring fit liis free coinage cunfititu ency .in.l muking fair weather wi the Ad" inisinitiou. What the Senate will do reiii::'..:s to be seen, but the indications are that a welter of two or more we^ks of talking it will also pass that dignified body. After its repeal by Congress, then what?

I.\ 1350 Indiana had ninety-four banks organized under the Democratic free banking laws of that period. During that year fifty one of the ninety four suspended and in 1858 the number in creased to sixty-eight. The paper or notes of many of the banks were abso lutelv worthless, while the notes of others sold at. a discount of 25 to 75 per cent, in Cincinnati. Even the notes on banks which did not fail and were considered sound sold in New York at two per cent, discount. This was the result of Democratic financial legislation. Now, under Republican financial legisla tion, no person has lost one farthing by the depreciation of any of the money issued. Every dollar outstanding is as good as any other dollar, whether that dollar be gold, silver or paper. The Democrats are again in power and the proposition is made to return to the old Bystem of banking in vogne before the war. Mr. Voorhees declares that the national banks mnst go and in making this declaration eulogizes the old wild cat system. We predict, however, that the good sense of the American peopli will sit down on Daniel.

C. B. Tillinohast, President of tLe Massachusetts Free Public Library Commission, offers in the Septemlier Forum some practical hints concerning library administration. The most pop ular book in the librairies to-day, he says, is "Unole Tom's Cabin." "Ben Bur," "Lorna Doone," and The Scarlet Letter" have also a large circulation. Scott is attracting more readers than formerly, and Dickens few r. Next to fiction, biography, particularly autobi ographv, is especially popular. Contemporaneous history is also much sought after, while the old classics of English literature are dropping out of fashion.

The Bancroft company, Auditorium building, Chicago, is issuing a magnifi cent publication, entitled "The Book ol the Fair." It will consist ot twenty-five parts issued on6 a month until complete The book iB of superior merit, attractively written and etiperblv illustrated and printed on the finest paper in the high' est style of the art preservative. Each part costs one dollar, the entire set 825 It will be a record and souvenir of the great exposition such as every one must wish to obtain and preserve. The first and second numbers are now out and the work deserves the highest praise.

The Crawfordsvtllc Journal "wants to hear from John Sherman on the question of silver adds to the request, "the sooner the better. •'J'ho country hog already heard from the fit.tor nuy of Wall utreet too often. He Is an alept at organizing mischief.—Frankfort Crencent

All the same the Crescent is opposed to the repeal ot the Sherman law, the silver purchasing act is as bad as pictured by the Crescent the conclusion would be that it would stand by Presi dent Cleveland, which it does not. Both wings of the Democratic parly are busy ns bees in their efforts to prove that the o'.her wing has discarded the Chicago platform.

ICIIAPTElt VI. CYntinukp.I Mark and the Judge stayed at Red Mountain for three days, all of which time the two speculators devoted to the exposition aud elaboration of plans for the financial betterment of California, the great Western half of the iontinent, and, apparently, all the -nst of creation as well.

To Droopy, who had an inherent 'ondness for lions, these were three lays of such rare pleasure that they ven diverted him from the annoyance jf Millicent, upon whom he now •ailed at least once a day, despite her frigidity and her frequent ind pointed hints that she could jet on very comfortably without him. He thoroughly enjoyed this visit from the alleged Don, and approved of every scheme which was submitted by him ind the Judge for the consideration of Dubb.

Tom Morris, however, did not look .lpon Mark and the Judge with so xrach favor. The first day of the siege jf the speculators, Tom stood it very well the second day he got tired of it ind the third day he flatly opposed the two men from San Francisco in everyhinfj which they suggested or even hinted at.

What will the Hoke Smiths ot this administration have to say to tie clmrgeB of Senator Voorheas about their lfick of patriotism in their treatment of pensioners Nothing. But the people will later on make some remarks.

jubilant it was just the chance he had longed for it was exactly what he wanted. "Senor Dubb is right," he said, springing to his feet "Senor Dubb is perfectly right. The mines and their operation he thoroughly understands his success proves that. Syndicate and corporation management he does not understand. He knows human nature well enough to be sure that if he embarks in any scheme with us, our personal interests will come first and foremost with us. To him, investing with us is like storing money in a powder magazine, which may, or may not, blow up. So he is wisest to keep out and I heartily congratulate him on his common sense." •Good Lord!" groaned Judge Desborough "you've completely broken the camel's back, now."

But Mark hurried past the Judge and joined Dubb at the door. "Come on. Senor Dubb," he said 'we will go to the hotel, and bury this hatchet, forever, in the best wine that Red Mountain affords." "I'll go to the hotel with yer, Don Altanner," said Dubb, "but ye'll hev ter drink alone. Drinkin' never does me no good."

As you like," responded Mark, slipping one hand through Dubb'sarm. "I use too much wine, and I realize it every day it makes me fat and beastly and yet I haven't sense enough to leave it alone. Sometimes I think that an unrestrained man, with social tastes, is the lowest order of animal no beast, I am sure, would so abase and abuse himself as a man does."

By this time they were out of hearing of the office and, after a few more brief remarks on the too frequent and too general association of man and wine, Mark changed the subject very deftly: "You, Senor Dubb, have an Incentive to cleanliness and moderate living which I wholly lack. I refer to your lovely daughter. What wouldn't a man do for the sake of such a woman? Had one like her been in my household all these years of my selfish bachelorhood I would now be a very different man. Upon this possible, non-existent, adored and adorable she, I should have lavished the affections which, as things are, I have wasted on stocks and syndicates and wine. Woman's influence, for good or for bad, Senor Dubb, is the strongest in the world. It is love for your charming daughter which has kept you clean, all these years, in this land of temptation and I saw plainly, half an hour ago, that I it was solicitude for her which kept you from risking money in the ventures which Judge Desborough and I so imperfectly described. You felt that It would be wrong to open to dtager any portion of the results of that success which is the marvel of the State, and which you owe to the mutual love and pride between your daughter and yourself, more than you do to any one or to anything else. Am

I not right? Have I not guessed the truth, Senor Dubb?" "Well," answered Dubb, "I can't say but what it am sometbin' like that"

"I was certain of itl" exclaimed the pseudo-Spaniard, warmly "I was convinced of it, an hour ago. Strange it Is that I did not guess it before I have •een so much of you and your admirable daughter. You have worked three times harder on her account, Senor Dubb, than you would ever have worked on your own account. Ah,such women are the making of men. You cannot, not having always known me, comprehend the awful, the pitiable distance between what I am and what I would have been with a wife or daughter like this glorious woman for whom you have so zealously toiled. Even now it would not be too late for I well know my every vice and fault, and 1 well know that I could cast them all off and abandon them forever if only there was some loving and idolized woman to make the effort for. Holy Virgin! how changed 1 would bel But why do I tell you all this? why do I speak so freely, and unbosom myself so completely, when it can do me no good, and when, really, this lump of lead in my heart will be all the heavier now because some one shares my secret longing with me? I scarcely know what has set me talking so to you, Senor Dubb, unless it is because you give and receive that love which is the sole recompense for life, and which, though it may always be yours, can never be mine."

As usual, Dubb thought for himself or, rather, he exercised that unthinking but sagacious instinct of his, which always governed and directed him. He listened patiently, because 1^, "Why not?" asked Dubb and it was he was never impatieut he was self' possessed, because nothing ever excited him he was respectful, because there is every reason for doubting that he knew how to be otherwise. In the ifternoon of the third day of the business conference with Mark and the Judge, Dubb suddenly arose from hia desk while the Judge was in the midst of an harangue upon the advantages of certain combinations which he had been zealously advocating ever since his arrival at Red Mountain. When the Judge had finished—and justice nforces the admission that his remarks were considerably abbreviated, because his principal auditor was standing—Dubb moved slowly toward the door. "They be no use of our say in' all these 'ere things over again," he said, quietly. "These things as you tells me about am all right, I s'pose but they am not jest quite exactly in my way. All the money as I wants, I can git out o' the mines what we be now workin'. These fixin's o' yourn pays, in course, or you an' ver frien's wouldn't be workin* at 'em all the hull time. They might pay me, too I

the very question for which Mark was fishing. "Why not? You ask, why not?" he returned, with affected pain, which was quite as pathetic as if it had been genuine."g^'But, Senor Dubb, of course the question is natural, since you do not wholly understand me. Listen: I love a woman whom I have seen grow into her present muguifioence from an equally splendid childhood. Her adored image has increased its stature in my heart, just as her beautiful re ality has increased in the bosom of her father's home. For five years I have loved her, and each year I love her more and more until now the mention of her name arrests me in whatever evil I may hold in contemplation. But my love is hopeless it must ever be hopeless because she is the light of her father's eyes, his sole joy and the pride of his heart. His life without her would be as dead and empty as mine is now. Could I, then, be cruel enough to make his pain my happiness? Would I not be a brute to ask him for. the dearest treasure of his life? "It am nat'ral for women to git mar-

'You oughter to talk it over with him." "Senor Dubb, you make me happy. I—I love your daughter."

And then Dubb opened the door. Tom Morris was glad Droopy felt as if he was being cheated out of some of his personal rights Judge Desborough felt chagrined Mark Stanley was I Walter, in the month which had

slipped away since he first saw Mary, had constantly grown more and more fond of her. How fond he did not know he had never had any affairs of the heart, and so he did not realize how great was her unconscious hold upon him. With Mary it was much the same. Love, beyond the kind of

"SKSfOR DUBB, YOU MAKE ME HAPPY, love which she bore Dubb and Morris and Droopy, was a wholly unintclligi ble condition to her—at least, by any tangible name. She knew that she found Walter Morris agreeable that everything which he said and did pleased her and that she missed him more than she missed any one else whenever he was away from her. That there was any clement of love in this, or that love could, by any possibilty, be a result of it, never once entered hex head.

There was no whit of sentimentality in either of them and romancing about each other or about anything else was entirely out of their province. Each was content and satisfied with present enjoyment and neither give their possible or probable future any thought.

It mattered but little to them what they talked about, so long as they talked and so books, generally, were the exense which they made for delighting each other's ears with the sound of each other's voices,—as it was when Dubb came in from his unexpected conversation with Mark concerning Mary.

Wonderful Machine.

Thero is no doubt that man is a fine mechanism, but liko every other macbino he wears out by friction. It is said that lie is born again every two or throe years. His body is virtually re-mado from food. To retard this making over is radically wrong, as a man loses so much vitality in the delayed process that it takes a loLg time to recuperate. Tho process of malting anew is so accelerated by purging with Brandreth's Pills that a new man, as it were, may be made in two or threo months, and the change in the mechanism is such that the worn out part ib replaced with the new without tho usual running down of tho entire machine. You don't nave to stop for repairs. Purge away with Brandreth's Pills the old, diseased and worn out body. They are purely vegetable, absolutely harmless, and safe to take atany time.

Utsposltion and Indisposition—Suggestive Suggestion* of Frofitable ISuslness llringlng.

By Natu'l C. Fowler, .lit POOTOK OF PUBLICITY.

(CopyrUrht, 18l):t, hy The Trade Company, lioston.) In presenting this, the first of the series of articles on geuerul publicity and business development, it is best for mq to formally stato that have no interest In this puper, or in any other papery and that I am neither directly or indirectly connected with any medium of advertising spaco. I nm simply attempting to tell you of the truth of successful publicity, as I see it, and as 1 know it Is seen by the best business men of tbo country. five parts of alleged know so, four parts of guess so, one part of something anil ou have the composition of business doiression.

There is reason for everything, but mighty lrttlo of anything is founded on reason.

Half the people arc asleep and half tlio rest are lambs. Ten per cent, of the peeple in every community do the thinking for ninety per :ont.

The reason in most people is what they think is reason, without thinking much about it, anyway.

He who is sick would not be half so sick 1 he didn't think he is twice as sick as he s.

How long would a steamboat captain hold his job, who banked his tires, and slowed flown during a storms Tbo successful navigator crowds on steam, not an unsafe amount, but enough to keep his vessel moving as rapidly in storm as in cu'm, am! sometimes more rapidly.

Thero is equilibrium it. motion. Equilioriuui is safety. Most business men, as soon as they find business is dull, refuse to look for the cause, and simply work themsolves up into frenzy of dbpression, cut expenses in every way, talk hard times, show hard times in their faces, give a hard-time appearance to their store, and get exactly what they expect—no trade.

The progressive merchant arranges hia counters more attractively, piles his goods Higher than ever, decorates his windows, burns more gas, brushes up everything, puts anew coat of paint on the outside, looks animated, diffuses his enthusiasm in lo every clerk, advertises more extensively ••in'I gets the bulk or thebusinoss.

The leading :a»gazines are filled wilh advertisements. Their difference in quantity imperceptible, whether the times are flush or bad.

The local dailies and the locil weeklies, contain almost as muoh advertising in dull times as in flush, because the old fogies pull out, and the progressive men increase their space.

The statement I make, that dull times offer an unusually good opportunity for ..enerul local trade pushing and advertising I back with the experience of many years, and the positive knowledge of hundreds, if not thousands, of advertisers who never think of cutting publicity expenses during dull times, and who advertise then, first, ecause it always pays to advertise: second, because they pull trade away 1 rom the drones who are afraid to advertise, and thereby build up trade for keeps third, because people make up their minds to buy when good times come, and will buy of the man who makes the best hard-time announcements.
