I was watching it in surprise, when j giving a flicker, it went out, leaving me in darkness. Scarcely had it done so than a violent trembling seized me, accompanied by Increased difficulty of respiration. Did spirits really exist? Was the room haunted? Was I beina

Only a haunted room a shadowy presence divided us ! Uncle Bob, it must be owned, was a strange Character. Cynical and sarcastic, he seemed to take pleasure in annoying others, while he haled his opinions to be thwarted.. By the way, there he was not singular; I have met many with the same antipathies. 8u)l I was not wrong in averring that he had bis good parts, though his attacks were usually levehed at myself; - ' ; . Perhaps my kinder appreciatioh dt him arose from his being Maud's father. Atany rate, I'm certain that she was the cause why I deemed a Visit to m v uncle's one of tae most blissful evenf in Christendom. ' r :. As Kate had remarked. Uncle Bob had lately inherited -Mertnn.

Slowly, slowly, it advanced, my eyeballs dilating painfully as it did so, though I lay 'p wcrless with horror.

Tfce.Fvoed df Qid. Since Aug. 1,1879, about 200,000.000 of foreign gold has beeif imported into the United States, and our own mines have prcdugedfully $65,000,000 more. The addition of the . great amount of $205,000,000 in : gold to the national wealth is significant 'of our changed financial relations to the . rst of the world, and the disposition made of it is equally significant of the changed

financial relations of this country.

Two vearft ago the banlts of New

York city held 0.000,000 in gold, and

there was in the United -estates Treas

ury, say, ST50,000,000. According to the latest return' bur banks now hold

505,000,000V aud the Treasury $170,000,-

000. This shows -what has become or

$05,000,000 of the $205,000 000; where h

the.rcmaining uu,uuu,uuu7 The. most ' plausible" answer to the question ds' that the metnl has been absorbed by the inhabitants of the great West and Southwest, who have taken it in payment'for their surplus wheat, corn, cotton, and other products. After years of patient toil and waiting, ttieir.farm-4. and plantations have become; profitable; they have paid oil fSeic debts to Eastern capitalists, and' they have replaced their former stum ptail and other trashy currency with gold; w well as with greenbacks and national bank notes. For it must be remarked that while our New ; Y ork banks have in two.

vears addci 1 $45,000,000 to their stock

of gold, they have also parted with $27,000,000 of legal tenders, much of which has been sent West. Furthermore,, the currency of the country has been swelled by the addition of $48, 000,000 of certificates reprt sen ting silver dollars, of, which the West'- has taken the greater portion. This, however.

has had little or no effect upon tho

westward course of the flood of gold, and it is still i:aoving in the same di-

i recti on.

It looke, now, as though the United

States, in the iame way that Asia used

to be the sink of silver, will, for some

time at least, be the sink of .'gold. It

so happens tbat our principal products

are those of food and raw materials,

which Europe.. owing to its adverse

climate, is compelled to buy from us,

and yet that our consumption of Eu

ropean manufactured goods is not large enough jo pay for them. The differ
