the suggestion in the same friendly
spirit in which it has been made. It is
also fully justified by the nature of the
financial crisis which, under the pro
tection of the act of Congress of Feb
ruary 28,1878, is now close at hand.
By compliance with the requirements in
that law, the vaults of the Federal
treasury have been, and are heaped
full of silver coins, which are now
worth less than 85 per cent, of the gold
dollar prescribed as the unit of value
In seetion fourteen of the act of Febru
ary 12, 1873, aud -which, with the sil
ver certificates; representing such coin
are receivable tor all public dues, being
thus receivable, while also constantly
increasing in quantity at the rate of
twenty-eight million dollars a year.
It has followed, of necessity, that the
flow of gold Into the treasury has been
strangely diminished. Silver and sil
ver certificates have displaced it and
arc now* displacing gold, and the sum
of gold in the federal treasury now
available for the payment of the gold
obligations of the L nited States, and
for the redemption of United States
notes called “greenbacks,” if uot al
ready encroached upon, is perilously
near such encroachmeuts. These are
facts which, as they do not admit of
difference of opinion, call for no argu
ment. They have been forewarned in
the annual reports of the secretary of
the treasury from 1878 till now. They
are plainly affirmed in the last Decem
ber report of the present Secretary of
the Treasury of the present House of
Representatives. Thejr appear in the
offlc 5 al documents of this Congress, and
in the records of the New York clear
ing house, of which the Treasury is a
member, and through which the bulk
of the receipts and the payments of the
federal government and of the country
pass.
These being the facts of our present
condition, our danger and our duty to
avert that danger, would seem to be
plaiu. I hope that you concur with me,
and with the great majority of our .fel
low citizens, in deeming it most desira
ble at tlie present juncture, to main
tain and continue in use the mass of
our gold coin as well as the mass of
silver already coined. This is possible
by the present suspension of the pur
chase and the coinage of silver. I am
not aware that, by any other method,
it is possible. It is of momentous
importance to prevent the increasing
displacement of gold by the i»crea«»n«r
coinage of silver; to prevent the disuse
of gold in the custom houses oi me
United States and in the daily business
of the people; to prevent the ultimate
expulsion of gold by silver. Such a
financial crisis as these events would
certainly precipitate, were it now to
follow lipon so long a period of com
mercial ^depression, would involve tlie
people of every city and every State in
the United States in a prolonged and
disastrous trouble. The prosperity of
business, and so ardently desired and
apparently so near, would be hopeless
ly postponed. Gold would be with
drawn to its hoarding places, and an
unprecedented contraction in the actu
al volume of ohr currency would
speedily take place. Saddest of all, in
every workshop, mill, factory, store,
and on every railroad and farm, the
wages of labor, alrerdy depressed,
would suffer still further depression by
the scaling down of the purchasing
power of every so-called dollar paid
into the hands of toil.
From these impending calamities it
is surely the most patriotic and grate
ful duty of the representatives of the
people to deliver them.

spect, your fellow-citizen.

large extent her business interests are
more or less dominated by this colossus
of infamous trickery. Her State uni

You will observe on taking jiosses-
sion of the administration, that the
navy is a little bit weather-beaten and
wormy. I would suggest that it be
newly painted in the spring. If it laid
been my good fortune to receive a ma
jority of the suffrages-of the people for
the office which you now hold I should
have painted the navy red. Still, that
need not inlluence you in the course
which you may see tit to adopt.
You will find all papers in their ap
propriate pigeon-holes, and a small jar
of cucumber pickles down iu the cellar,
which were left over, and to which
you will be perfectly welcome. Take
these pickles and use them as if they
were your own.
You will also find half a ton of coal
left over, and an old ax in the wood
shed, which a man from Ohio left with
us to have ground. Of course you do
not make a business of receiving pres
ents, but you cannot refuse to receive
these as a slight testimonial of regard,
and not in the nature of a bribe.
There are many affairs of great mo
ment which I have uot enumerated In
this brief letter, because I felt some
little delicacy and timidity about ap
pearing to be at all dictorial or officious
about a matter wherein the pubiic
tnteht charge me with interference.
I h
hope you will receive the foregoing
in a friendly spirit, and, whatever
your convictions may be upon great
questions of national interest, either
foreign or domestic, that 3*ou will not
undertake to blow out the gas on re

realize the fond* anticipations which
are now cherished on your behalf by a
mighty people, whose aggregate eye is

Gordon’s Views off Death,
London Telegraph.
God knows what my anxiety was.
Not for my life, fori died years ago to
all ties in this world, and to all its
honors, comforts and glories.” It was
on September 11, 1867, when on his ex
pedition to Shaka, 580 miles southwest
of Khartoum, with four companies of
indifferent, troupes, to break the neck
of slave raiding in its very den, that
Gordon wrote these characteristic
words, which may lie fitly quoted at a
time there is every reason to fear he
has actually laid down his life for those
whom he has vainly striven to save.
They breathe precisely the spirit with
which Gordon always regarded life and
death. “God has given 3-011,” he says,
writing to his friends, “ties and an
chors to this earth; you have wives
and families. I, thank God, have none
of them and am free. * * * Yon
are only called on at intervals to rely
on your God; I am obliged continually
to do so. I mean by this that you have
only great trials, such as the illness of
a child, when you feel 3-ourself utterly
weak,*now and then; 1 am constantly
in anxiety. Tlie body rebels against
this constant leaning on God; it is a
heavy strain on it; it canses appetite to
cease. Find me the man—aud I will
take him as my help—who utterly des
pises money, name, glory, honor—one
who never* wishes to see his home
again, one who looks to God as the
source of good and controller of evil,
one who has a healthy body and an
energetic spirit, and one who looks on
death as a release from misery. If you
cannot find him, then leave me alone.”
That instinctive clinging to life, which
is natural to all men, Gordon seems to
have overcome as completely as Igna-
Congressman. Back of the counter is
the bank safe, which usuall3' holds
from $50,000 to $75,000 in greenbacks,
and pa3'S out from $10,000 to $1.1,000 a
day. During the 3-car it contains
about $3,000,1)00, and many of the
members use it as a place of deposit.
Washburn, of Minnesota, used to have
at times as much as $40;(K)0in that safe.
Now that so man3* of the Washington
banks are failing. Congressmen prefer
to leave their 11101103 here and check
on the Mergesnt-at-Arms.
This bank of the Capital does a regu
lar banking business as far as the
members are concerned. It deals with
no others. A Congressman can check
on it and it will cash his drafts aud re
ceive his deposits. His salary is due
him in monthly payments, and he. can
not overdraw. Every month $416.66
is put to Ills credit here, and this is
pretty rapidlv checked out. Some
members check their mone>* out as
fast as it comes in. Others take it in
$5 bills, and a bill at a time. Some
draw but a little, and instances have
been known of Congressmen taking
nothing until the close of the 3’ear.
None so far have refused to take their
salaries. 'If a Congressman dies his
salary stops at his death, but it is now
the custom of Congress to vote his
widow a year’s extra pay. As to the
mileage, each Congressman gets 50
cents a mile each session for the dis
tance from his home to the capi-
tol, and his pay ranges all the way
from $3 80 to $1,600, according the dis
tance. Mr. Oury, the territorial dele
gate from Arizona, gets $1,600 a year
mileage in addition to his salar3*.
When It is remembered that this is
enough to pay one passage around the
world, and that you can go from New
York to San Francisco for less than
one-eighth of it, it seems a good deal.
Congressmen are allowed $125 a year
for stationery. The Sergeant at Anns'
bank also attends to this. Most mem
bers do not use all of this, and they are
entitled to draw out the balance. They
must keep their accounts of this as of
other things. It does so carefulh', and
has a complete set of boc ks which must
be balanced_ever3* morning—journal,

behind which hi3 men were dodging
to evade the rain of deadly missiles the
enemy was pouring into their thin
ranks. General Joseph E. Johnson,
who wanted to see Wheeler, and know
ing he would find him where the fight
ing was going on, sought him on the
skirmish line. When General Johnson
walked up the dashing cavalry officer
stepped from behind his tree and In
vited his superior officer to take advan
tage of its protection. This General
Johnson declined to df>, saying that he
wanted no man to expose* his life for
his sake. But General Wheeler re
fused to return to his place of safet3*,
and so the two brave and courteous of
ficers stood by the side, of the tree, ex
posed to the full fire of the enemy un
til they finished their conversation.
Then Johnson retired and Wheeler re
turned to his post behind tlie tree. Af

Colonel Printup had intimate business

incident to illustrate, as we have said,
the cool courage and uniform courtesy
of General Wheeler even in the face of
death. General Wheeler now repre

A Crocodile tbis Side tlie Sea.
Palfitka News,
Lrst Saturday Mr. Robert Davis, of
Lake George, succeeded in capturing
a genuine crocodile, a rare saurian in
Florida waters, which differs from the
alligator in many respects. Mr. Da
vis informs us that the crocodile was
thirteen feet eighteen feet eight inches
in length, while at the middle of the
body it was larger than an ordinary
barrel, and weighed over eight hun
dred pounds^ He was killed In the
mouth of Juniper creek, where it emp
ties into Lake George. Mr. Davis
brought the head of the monster to Pa-
latka, together with the head of an al
ligator, to show the difference in the
two, which coukl readily be detected.
The crocodile’s head is square at the
Emperor off Central Asia.
From the New York Sun.
According to La Gazette Gtvgra-
phique, of toe Geographical Society of
Paris, the rumor that the Czar.pf
Russia will soon assume the additional
title of Emperor of Central Asia Is
confirmed. This publication asserts
that the ceremony of coronation will
take place with great pomp a£ Samar-
canrl, in Turkestan, once the centre o!
science and of commerce in Asia, and
the 'capital of Tamerlane’s great
empire.
Whatever objections Englaud may
have to Russia’s rapid advance toward
India, it cannot be denied, even by
those who are most jealous of Russia’s
Asiatic enterprise, that her advent into
tlie countries be3*ond the Caspian has
greatly benefitted them. People can
now* move about with some degree ol
c Jiufort and security, and trade can be
safely carried on over the steppes of
the barbarous Turcomans. Such dar
ing journeys as the ride to Khiva aim
the trip po Merv, .which made 0 Burnaby
and O’Donovan famous, are found now
by- Russian explorers and by travelers
like Lansdell to involve no danger
aud to lie comparatively easy and
agreeable.
1 'Mia t-A
The social changes that: Russia is
working out among the most untama
ble hordes of Asia are quite remarka
ble. Its government influences main
tained by many military posts, its
Traus-Caspiau railroad now complete
between Krasnovot’sk on the Caspian
and Bami, its steamboats on tlie Cas
pian and tlie sea of Aral; the schools it
has opened at Tashkend, the explorers
it has sent over toe country in every
direction, its vigorous efforts to create
a demand for its manufactures, are all
helping to change the conditions of life
on the plateaus of Turkeston. It has
put its foot on the infamous Turcoman
slave trade, which has desolated thous
ands of homes in eastern Persia for the
purpose chiefly of filling the harems of
Turkestan. Russia has closed the
slave markets of Khiva and Bokhara,
released 40,000 slaves in Khiva alone
and sent them back to their homes iu
Persia. This has greatly increased
Russia’s influence iu ‘the Shah’s
dominions.
Political rivalry has not inspired any
other European power to emulate the
untiring energy with which Russia has
for nearly twenty years pushed for
ward her work of geographical re
search aud aggrandizement. It is
within bounds to say that no couutry
in recent times has profitted so much
as Russia by geographical exploration,
and no countiy has been better served
by its explorers. The scientific results
of their wanderings for years in the
wilds of Turkestan and Mongolia, and
the courage, endurance ana patience

up stairs to his room.
The young fellow* turned to the de
tective and was introduced to the
newspaper man.
“Well, my day’s work is over, and
tough one it has been. He’s led me
the liveliest dance yet.”
“Where did he take yon?”
“Into every undertaking establish
ment on the East side, ordering cas
kets and shrouds. He ordered at least
fifty and I countermanded.’
“Why does he do that?” inquired
the amazed reporter.
“It’s a crank he has,” said the stran
ger. “He’s sound on every other
point but that. He’s a wealthy old
chap, who takes trips around the coun

home in West Virginia.”
“What started this mania?”
“Oh, a terrible affair. He had no
immediate relatives but an only daugh
ter, a beautiful girl, aged seventeen.
" alive a month ago, and
She was buried ^
ever since he has been a little*off,
you see.”
“Buried alive? How was that?”
“She was taken ill, and the doctor
prescribed morphia. She took an over
dose, and apparently died. The father
went nearl>* crazy with grief. The
body was kept three days and was
vie wed ly all the neighbors. One lady
insisted that the girl did not look as if
she was dead. Doctors were summon
ed and they applied several tests,
which resulted in their declaration that
life was extinct.”
“Then they buried her?”
“Yes, after four men had dragged
the father from the casket.”
The nigut after the funeral the
dogs of a farmer living near the church
yard kept’up a continual howling, and
on being let loose the next morning
made direct for the young girl’s grave,
and began digging at it with their paws!
The old man was informt d of this, and
h id the body disinterred iu the presence
of his neighbors and the village author
ities. The body was taken out of the
casket. It presented a frightful appear
ance.
“Tlie unfortunate girl liad evident

from her head. The lining was ton
from the sides ol the casket, and tin
pillows were in shreads. Her haudi-
and arms were torn and bleeding. Her
clothing consisted in part of a light
summer dress, which was literally torn
from her body. Her lips were bitter
through.”
“And that set the old man erazy.
“Mildly so, as you see.”
“I don’t wonder at it. It was terri
ble; but why din’t .his relatives re
strain him?”
“That would make him worse. He
is inoffensive. I am reliable, and they
are quite willing I shall follow him
about and set him straight.”
“But doesn’t he ever object to your
presence?”
“Xo; we formed an attachment in

I am anything more to him than a

among travelers. They have surve3*ed
the eastern shores of the Caspian and
Aral Seas, the basin of the Oxus, a
large part of the elevated steppes of
Pamir, much of the country bordering
on Afghanistan, and they* have made
extensive journeys in Thibet, Monf
lia, and the Gobi desert. A route for
the railroad now completed to Bami
has been surveyed to Herat, in
Afghanistan, only 600 miles from the
present terminus of the British Indian
line at Quetta. The Czar now claims
as his dominions all tbe vast territory
between the Caspian and Afghanistan.
Though political motives may have

mercial rewards of her enterprise bid
fair to amply repay the cost. Hue and

The member Who Was Left.
Washington Letter in Chicago Xews.
I heard a member the other day bit
terly reproaching some of the lackeys
about the hall of the House for their
neglect of him. “They all know 1
haven’t been re-elected,” he explained
to me, “and it is all that I can do to
get any service out of them. The
member who sits next to me has been
returned and if he makes the slightest
signal half a dozen pages will fly to
wards him with the utmost alacrity. I
frequently beat my bands together
until they are almost blistered without
attracting their attention, and when I
do succeed they move towards me as
leisurely as you please aud execute
my orders with a display of condescen
sion that would be anusing if it were
not so annoying.”
“Perhaps you have incurred their
displeasure in some way,” I suggested,
’’and their neglect of you is not due to
yonr defeat.”
“Mo, indeed, was the reply.” “Before
I went home, last Bpring, all the
clerks,messengers and pages were most
assiduous in their attentions. But
when I came back in December, after
'retting left at the election, I found
cfaat they regarded me at a person of
very little importance, and since that
time have been inclined to look upon
me in tlie light of an intruder. It is so
with all the members who have failed
of re-election. They are all making
complaints, and I guess they have rea
son to. 1 tell you that these fellows
who bang about the Capitol picking
up the crumbs that till from the Con
gressional table have a keen eye for
the main chance and no use whatever
for a statesman whose days of official
life are numbered.”

From tile Piedmont. Gs_, Press.
Mrs. X. J. Sloper, of our city, has
just completed a quilt which for dura
bility and the quantity of work ex
pended on it is perhaps without equal.
The quilt is a knit and composed of
110 squares, each square formed of four
triangular pieces, in each triangle is
an ingeniously constructed tig leaf. It
was necessary to mako 20,610 stitches
to complete one square, and before the
quilt was finished 2,270,400 stitches
were made. The lady has been en
raged two years on the w ork, and in
that time she was forced to make‘a
stitch and a half every second for twelve
hours each day.
Daring the last five, years the lady,
in addition to the qnilt mentioned
above, has knit a beautiful shell, one
for herself, and, and assisted in mak
ing three others.
This is
is certainly an enormous amount
of work to he expended on one quilt.
