St. Louis on a Spurt.

Austrian Dungeon Discovered.

The other day it was found necessary to repair part of the foundations of an inner wing of the Castello of Udine, a great, square, ugly building of three centuries ago, now used as barracks and civil prisons. On the flooring being removed, the workmen came upon a small, massive, tight-fit-ting trapdoor. It was raised with difficulty, and it disclosed, as in romances, a flight of steps. On going down it with lights the workmen found themselves in a subterranean chamber. From one corner of this ran a passage, in the walls of which were five low, narrow doorways, opening into the most horrible prison cells imaginable. The doorways still held the heavy iron hinges which had supported enormously thick doors, as shown by the depth of the stone framework. The pozzi of the doges' palace at Venice must have been abodes of delight in comparison. At the end of the passage two other cells were found, suggestive of still more dreadful suffering; for, while the others are of ordinary size, these only measure 2 feet 4by 2 feet B—a size that made it impossible for the unhappy wretches confined in them to lie down. A small hole near the top of the doorpost of all the cells was used for the passing of food. Examination brought to light some inscriptions scratched on the cell walls. One of these was “Giovanni Grimani, 1607,” showing that they were in use in civilized times; and, more shocking still, as it is a witness to the cruelty of Austria, another consisted of the words, “Viva l’ltalia viva I’ltalia,” and the signature of “Giacomo Moraro.”—London Globe.

POLICS OF THE DAY

BY HESCOTT

CHAPTER VI. Robert Kellogg conducted his cousin Earl through the down town streets of the business center of the coming metropolitan city of the great Northwest, calling his attention to the various points and objects of ipterest as they progressed, not forgetting the old Galena Railroad depot —the first one built in Chicago and which had been constructed some four years previous. The site of Fort Dearborn was of course visited. Several of the bridges over the Chicago river, which, by the way, was not in the polluted condition that it now is, were inspected. The steamboat wharves next claimed attention, and then a visit was paid to the Board of Trade. It was nearly twelve o’clock when the young men entered the door of the bank, where they found Mr. Kellogg in his private office. Earl was introduced to Lawrence Terry, the cashier; George Howard, the bank teller, a slight-built man of middle life, and to the bookkeeper, Eldred Sloan. He was much pleased that he was introduced as Earl Kellogg, the banker’s nephew. And as Mr. Kellogg so introduced him, so, for a time at least, shall he remain. The Kelloggs, father and son, were accustomed to dining down town, though not always together; however, on this occasion, the young men dined with the banker at the Sherman House. After lunch the banker parted from the other two and repaired to his place of business, first stating to Earl that he would soon have him located. During the afternoon the son and nephew attended a matinee at one of the theaters, arriving home just as teA was announced. N Mr. Kellogg had left the bank-gt'iour o’clock and reaching his residence had, as usual, hastened to his wife’s room to inquire as to her condition. On this occasion he had found her propped up in bed looking much more cheerful than usual, while, seated beside her, reading from the works of one of the favorite novelists of the day, was Elinor Kellogg. “Oh, ho!” was his greeting as he bent and fondly kissed his wife, “so the two Mrs. Kelloggs are becoming acquainted.” “Why, Stephen,” said his wife, smiling, “it seems already as though I had been acquainted with my sister-in-law for years. She is a splendid reader, and 1 have enjoyed the day so much! But I fear I have tired her.”

“Oh, never think of it, my dear sister 1” said the widow. “If lam able while here to do something to alleviate your suffering and amuse you until you are restored to health, I shall think that my advent here, perhaps, was not unfortunate; and in ministering to you, I forget, for the time, my own misfortunes.” “I foresee,” said the banker, “that your advent here was a godsend.” “Oh, thank you, thank you! And now that you are home, I will just place a mark where I ceased reading and repair to my room. I wish to. write to brother Amos to-night, of how kindly I have been received.” “Pray give him our love,” said Mr. Kellogg, as the widow passed from the room. “How do you like your new-found sister, dear?” he asked his wife, as he sank into the seat Elinor had vabated. “I doubt not, Stephen, I shall become much attached to her, she is so gentle and kind. She has seen much sorrow, and I hope we can help her to forget the past.” “Then you do not regret, my dear wife, that we received her iuto our home?” “I am very thankful, Stephen. She will be a comfort to me.” “Bless you, dearest, I believe it!” “1 wonder, Stephen, if I shall ever grow stronger—if I shall ever walk again; or if I am to be confined here a short time longer and then die. Oh, Stephen, I sometimes fear ” “Don’t, darling! You needlessly alarm yourself. You know Dr. Hewitt stated that with the approach of cold weather you would surely rally. Why, I noted how much improved you appeared when I entered the door.” “Listening to Elinor’s reading, husband, I forget, for the time, my weakness, my misery and pain. She has such a low and gentle voice—she feels for me so. On several occasions I fancied there were tears in her eyes and that my condition brought them there. Oh, Stephen!” “Dear one, you are nervous now that she has left you. Perhaps she continued the reading too long and tired you.” “Oh, no, Stephen, I am thus every day.” “Well, my wife, the doctor says that there is no constitutional disease; that your malady is due to the impairment of the nervous forces, and that, coupled with insomnia, has reduced you to your present state.” “If I could only sleep one night, Ste-phen-one full night, without drugs, there might be hope.” “Was the doctor here to-day, dear?” “Oh, yes, and said, as he always does, that I was progressing as well as could be expected. I sometimes doubt if he understands my case.” “No physician in Chicago stands higher in the estimation of members of his own profession, wife.” “Well, as you stated, I am nervous. Hand me the book, husband, and get ready for tea.” The banker’s face wore a more sober appearance when he descended the stairs than it had when he first entered the room; but he thought:

“That is what it is—nervousness and insomnia.” The two daughters greeted their father at the tea table. The madam appeared leaning on the arm of her son. Robert occupied his usual seat. And beneath the smiles of his sister-in-law, Mr. Kellogg’s mind was somewhat diverted from the sufferer on the floor above. “You did not find reading to mamma tiresome, aunt?” remarked Laura. “Far from it, my dear,” was the reply. “It gave me great pleasure.” “So, Janette, you were relieved of your task of reading to your mother to-day,” said Mr. Kellogg. “Task! Oh, papa, I was never so happy as when reading to or administering to dear mamma,” Janette said, tears springing to her eyes; “but if it is also a pleasure to aunt, I must divide the time with her.” \ “Sweet girl,” said the madam, glancing tenderly at the speaker; “let, it be a joint pleasure. I would not see you constantly coufined to the house. I fancy there should be more of the hue of the,rose in those cheeks, and some life out of doors will bring it there.” “I have noticed a change in Janette's appearance,” said her brother, “and thoroughly approve of what you say, aunt. She has been too closely confined.” “My son informs me that you have been showing him the beauties of Chicago, Robert,” remarked the madam. “Oh, a few points of interest; but in a week’s time I shall have him thoroughly acquainted with our city,” was the reply. After tea the banker and his younger daughter repaired to the room of the invalid, while the other members of the family entered the parlor. Robert soon stated that he had an engagement down town, and took his departure, thus leaving but the madam, her son and Laura in the parlor. After chatting perhaps a half hour, Mrs. Kellogg remembered that she had not finished her letter and made her excuses, leaving but” Laura and her sop in the room.

Now the young man had been pondering as to which of the banker’s daughters he should endeavor to captivate, and he speedily conclnded that this was a good opportunity to ascertain some facts that might assist him in coming to a determination. But he hardly knew how to proceed on so short an acquaintance. “Yon visited the bank to-day, Cousin Earl?" presently asked Laura. “Yes, indeed, Miss Laura, and was introduced to all of your father’s staff.” “Then you met Lawrence —I mean Mr. Terry.” “Lawrence? Mr. Terry? Oh, the cashier. Yes, I was introduced by your father to Mr. Terry, also to Mr. Howard, the teller, and to the bookkeeper, Mr. Sloan, I believe.” “Yes, Mr. Sloan is the bookkeeper. How did yoq like Mr. Terry, cousin?” “Oh, I thought he appeared to be very much of a gentleman. He is a fine looking young man also.” “Is he not? I thought you would like Lawrence —I mean Mr. Terry.” “Is he a special friend of yours, Miss Laura? If so I must surely cultivate his acquaintance.” “Is Mr. Terry? Oh, yes! Everyone likes Mr. Terry—and I ” “Well, cousin,” observed Earl, gazing closely into the face before him. Laura certainly blushed. * “There!” she exclaimed, “I hear the doorbell now. I just know that is Lawrence.” And rising from her seat on the sofa, she was hastening towards the door as Julia opened it. / When Lawrence Terry crossed the threshold his eyes fell on the form of his betrothed—Earl he could not see. “How is my sweetheart to-night?” “Lawrence!” And Laura placed one finger on her lips. The two appeared very much confused as they came forward. Earl sat turning the pages of a book and seemingly had heard nothing. He greeted Mr. Terry, but soon made his excuses and joined his mother. “Why, boy,” she exclaimed when he entered her room, “I did not expect you for an hour. You should be improving your time.” “No chance there, mother,” was the reply. “Laura is engaged to Lawrence Terry, the cashier of her father’s bank.” “No!” . “Yes!” And Earl related what had occurred. The widow mused a moment and then said: “She is not married to Lawrence Terry. You must have a position in that bank, and you must have it soon.” “Mr. Kellogg told me to-day he would ere long have me located.” “He will! Now do you know what is killing the banker’s wife—no—l mean keeping her alive?” “How could I?” a

“It is morphine! She has been taking the drug six years and don’t know it.” “Impossible!” “Six years ago one of her limbs was fractured in a runaway. She was thrown from her carriage and greatly shocked. The physician gave her morphine to relieve her suffering, and she has been taking it ever since—yes, three times as much as the doctor prescribed. As soon as she empties a bottle that girl Julia is sent for a renewal of the prescription—she was sent for it to-day.” “You think that she does not know what she is taking?” “She knows it is something that relieves pain, and that is all.” “But Mr. Kellogg?” “He may know that the doctor originally prescribed a remedy of which morphone was one of the component parts, but does not know of the extent to which it has been carried —nor does the doctor. They yet ascribe her sufferings to that shock.” “The daughters?” “What do they know about morphine? Nothing.” “Then you think, mother ” “Think? I know that they have made a morphine fiend of the woman. She will die if her supply is cut off. She will die if she keeps taking it. She might be kept alive for years on just a proper quantity. No morphine and she bids adieu to earthly troubles; too much, and she succumbs. I have fathomed the mystery of her troubles. Oh, well, she is in the hand of the Lord, or—well, go to bed, Earl. I am worried out. Two facts we have ascertained.” The young man left her, and the widow resumed the reading of her book. Over her shoulder we can see the title of the chapter she is perusing: “Action of morphine on the human system.”

CHAPTER VII. Three months have passed since thl closing of the last chapter. It is now th« evening of the fifteenth day of November. A bleak wind is coursing through the streets of Chicago, chasing the' flurries of snow through the open thoroughfares and piling it in white mounds against the walls of buildings; sweeping it in at. convenient hallways, or bearing it out on the bosom of the lake. There is woe in the residence of Stephen Kellogg; woe in the hearts of nearly all of its inmates; for the drifting snow as it scurries through Graceland Cemetery, leaves a white mantle over a newmade grave. Within that gravq rest thft remains of Thalia Kellogg. f The family at the Dearborn avenue residence have but just returned from the cemetery, and Elinor Kellogg is ministering tenderly to the weeping daughters of the banker. “Come, my dears,” she is just saying, “Julia has announced that tea is on the table. Nothing has passed your lips today. You cannot survive this sorrow without something to sustain your strength. Your dear mother is with the angels now, and you owe it to your father and to her memory to become more reconciled.” “Yes, my children,” said the banker, “we must bow in submission to the will of God.” “Oh, papa, how could He!” And Janette left the madam’s side, .crossed the parlor and sank into the arms of her father. “ ‘He doeth all things well,’ my child,” said Mr. Kellogg, as he led Janette to the tea table. “Come, dear Laura!” entreated the widow. “Oh, Lawrence, Lawrence, why should it be!” The cashier was seated beside her on the sofa, and it was his arm that supported her to the dining room. It was to her betrothed —to the one her beloved toother had been willing to entrust with her happiness, that she turned for consolation. The widow bit her lips, but followed, leaning on the arm of her son. Robert had already preceded them. The young man’s features and demeanor evidenced that he felt in its full fore'Hte bereavement that had befallen him. HIS-eyes were red and swollen; his countenance was haggard. He loved his father and sisters, but his mother—his gentle, suffering mother, who had always plead his cause and made excuses for him in his indiscretions, he had both loved and revered. We will now leave the family seated at the table and record a few events that have transpired since those disclosed up to the ending of the previous chapter. (To be continued.)

Some idea of how the women appear who are treated in this manner will be gained from the illustration, which is taken from a photograph. The stocks are fastened from behind; and although there is just room to move the head it is absolutely impossible for

tiny person to get out of the stocks without assistance. After a time the punishment is terrible, for the head being forced to occupy one position—as if it were in a vice—makes the women prostrate in most cases. This is a great deal worse when three or four are yoked together. The men, while in “durance vile,” are treated a great deal better than the women, although they are tried and dealt with in a much more summary manner. A Chinese prisoner is put to deafii for the slightest offense, and there is no doubt that if he cpuld save his life by so doing he would gladly bear the punishment meted out to the ladies of the Flowery Land who come under the ban of the law.

der a janitor is kept at a yearly expenditure of $135, and to prevent Arthur from getting cold SSO is expended on fuel. The interest on the $5,944 that it cost to build the handsome two-story brick sehoolhouse in which he is taught amounts to $416.08. Thus the total cost of the schooling of this one child is $1,186.08. Arthur is a quiet little chap of 8 years, as black as the fabled Egyptian darkness, with big round eyes that look out upon the world without the least sign of astonishment or concern at the extravagance of his education. That he drinks in knowledge at the public expense at the rate of $30.41 per week, or $6.08 per day, is no cause of wonder to him. It has not been charged that his teachers quarrel over which shall instruct him, but it is a known fact that he has to furnish the excitement for the school, because he is the only scholar in the new Lovcjoy school, erected solely for the colored children.

THE PEOPLE'S MONEY

Parity. We know that for a period of seventy years, to wit, from 1803 to 1873, during which there were greater changes in the relative production of the metals than during any like period In their history, the two metals, gold and silver, were practically on a parity with each other. During the whole of that time 15% ounces of silver would exchange for one ounce of gold in all the markets of the world; and this because the mints of France were open to the unrestricted coinage of both metals upon that ratio. The coins struck from them were unlimited legal tender—that is. they were equally endowed with the money function, For many centuries prior to 1873 both metals were in the world’s money stock, and their separation from each other was so gradual as not to practically interfere with their joint use as money metals. The way the bimetallic principle brings the metals together and maintains their parity with each other can easily be understood. It is made plain t>y the following familiar illustration of Jevons: “When two receptacles for fluids are separated from each other, the height to which the fluid will rise in each depends upon the quantity poured into it. But when there is a connecting pipe between them the fluid will rise to the same level in both, whichever receives the supply.” And this, says Jevons, exactly illustrates the movement of the metals in western Europe, under the bimetallic law of France of 1803, which provided for the unrestricted coinage of both metals, and gave to the coins struck from each the oflice of unlimited legal tender. Their legal tender function, allowing the coins struck from one of the metals to freely take the place of the coins struck from the other metal, for monetary purposes, was the connecting pipe; and as the fluid discharged from the common outflow was a single fluid, though in the inflow the color of one of them may have been white and that of the other yellow, so where the standard is bimetallic the resulting money is a single bimetallic money, and in its relation to commodities as expressive of value as is a single standard, though it is called a bimetallic or double standard because two metals are selected for full monetary use.

Honest Dollars. As soon as the President was elected he asked authority to send a commission to Europe. What for? To keep the gold standard because it was a blessing? No. to get rid of it because it was a curse. Why should we send a commission to Europe to ask other nations to help us get rid of the gold standard if the gold standard has been a blessing? Who can say that the gold standard is good and ought to be kept without condemning the sending of a commission abroad to get rid of it? Not only did the President ask a* thority to appoint the commission, but Congress gave him the authority, and by an almost unanimous vote. Republicans, Democrats, Populists, everybody, with scarcely an exception, voted to give the authority and then appropriated for the purposes of the commission SIOO,OOO of the people’s money—yes, SIOO,OOO of the people’s money, notwithstanding there was a deficit at the time; but we needed to get rid of the gold standard so badly that we would go into debt further and pay SIOO,OOO to get rid of it. Now, I am simply calling attention to what has been done in this country. The man who advocates the gold standard has to do it in spite of all history of the United States. The man who advocates the gold standard as a blessing to this country has to do it against the protest of 99 per cent, of the people as they voted on election day, and against the protest of all the political parties that have any strength in this country. It seems to me it ought to be a rather easy thing to defend bimetallism with so much on your side and nothing but a look of surprise as defense for the gold standard.—W. J. Bryan.

How Lons? A nation sold on the auction block of Mammon, so that the many can be pauperized in order to allow a choice few to glutton in immeasurable wealth. This manipulation of the people’s money for the exclusive benefit of a few, by the self-chosen few, reminds one of the Braminical theory of the creation, of its endless process of alternate expansion and contraction; that in the beginning the universe, as we now know it, was contained in a single point, finer than the point of a needle, then it expanded to its present bewildering proportions, then contracted and expanded again and again. So, too, with these gold gamblers, who by manipulating the people's money contract the property of the entire nation, created by the nation, into their own pockets, and then, expanding it, dole it out again, under mortgage to the toiling many, and by that process of squeezing the volume of money get it back into their pockets again, with all the cream of its increase. How long will the Government at Washington live? Cause of Distress. What is the cause of the present longcontinued distress among the producing classes? The cause can be readily explained. By contracting the currency, money is made scarce and its purchasing power is inflated. The market prices of all commodities which are the products of industry are reduced; consequently a given amount of money will purchase a larger amount of products. This is a great advantage to the creditor class and to all who have fixed incomes, as bondholders, who are not required to labor for support, but it is a far greater injury to the producing classes and also to owners of real and personal property other than bonds, the value of which becomes depreciated. Great Britain, as the creditor nation of the world, understands perfectly the effect of currency contraction, and has sought since 1816 to fix a gold standard on the world in order, as her most eminent statesmen have acknowledged, to enable her to buy her breadstuffs and raw material at half price and to compel her debtors in the repayment of loans to give, in addition to interest, twice as much as they received when the debts were contracted.

I went at once to the spot and examined the hoard; there was about a hatful in all, chiefly white pebbles, clam shells, and same bits of tin r but there was also the handle of a china cup, which must have been the gem of the collection.
