“And the little river iq, the deep gorge

But he imused on the threshold. *Evcn
by the waning twilight, ho could per
ceive that a general transformation had
taken place.
A protfy <■** I abxxl near the window,
the tall standards of the old-fashioned
dressing-bureau wore knotted with blue
rildiona, the chairs were freshly draped
with chintz, and a fairy work-basket
atis>d beside tlie sofa, while tqxin the
table lay a flower-twined gi|»sy-hat, a
bunch of wild-flowers, and a jiair of the
tiniest gauntlet-gloves that Mr. Framing
ham hail over set cyos upou.
“Hello!” said Mnrmaduke; “Lou's got
girl-company. And she's put ’em in
here, by Jove!”
He struck a match, lighted the prettily
paintisl candles in the brass sconces, and
stared blankly around him. At the same
moment, a dear, tlutelike voice sounded
Ixilow stairs.
“Come in, Angel, quick! (hxxlnMs,
how the rain drives in at the door!
What's this in the hnll? A man's cnat!”
“Burglars!" shrieked Miss Angela,
who was not strong-minded in practice
as she was in theory.
“And there's a light up stairs!"
cried Jo.
“ Preserve us!" said Angela, beginning
to tremble; “the houso i» on tire! Jo,
Jo! don't stir a step! I btninl thnt you

But Miss Josephine deftlv evaded her
sister's grasp, amt rushed directly np to
the little apartment which she had eon
tistieatod to her own iu»e.
“Who are i/oii, sir?” aha sternly de

“I—l beg your pardon,” Ixigan that

“ I/eave the house!” said Jo, in the
imperial accents of Qnoen Elizalxdh con

“Jo, Jo, don't?’’ pleaded Angela, who
bad crept up in her Bister's shadow, and
was now tngging at her dress “ Per

“ Ladies," said Mr. Framingham, “if
you will only jx'rniit me to explain—"
“Sot/iiiia can explain an intrusion
like this!" declared Josephine.
“ My sister, Mrs. Fitch, the occupant
of this house—"
“ ll'-- are the occupants of this house!"
inexorably interposed Miss Frost. “Mrs.
Fitch has’ left the premises these throe
days ago.”
" I assure you," said Marmaduke,
“that I was quite ignorant of any such
change of arrangements. 1 have boon

“Your sister left word for you at tbe
Dairv Farm," said Jo, severely.
"6ut 1 name around by the other

The humor of the thing was too much
for Jo—she burst ont laughing.
“Angel, do stop twitching, my dear,"
said she "Yes, you may sleep in the

“Mr. Framingham, ladies, at vour

“Mr. Framingham, then,” said Jo.

The Deeliae of Silver.
For many oentnrira peat there has
l>een a gradual decline in the value of
silver as oompan*d with gobi down to
1875, when an unexampled dcpressxxi
began, reaching the lowest point during
the following veer. Since then its value
has fluctuated, ao that the metal con
tained in a silver dollar has been worth
in gold only from 85 to 90 cents. It is
now worth abont 87 cents. The follow
ing allows tbe relative value of gold and
silver at different ficrioda, begumiag in
the fifteenth century and coming down
to the present year.

The Cliicago fntrr-(>cean t in repro
ducing tlio alxive table, says: “Exactly
what has occasioned the relative increase
in value of gold and the decrease fn
value o< silver as compared with gold,
it is extremely difficult to say.” The ex
planation usually given by writers on
the subject, and doubtless the true ex
planation, is that it was caused by the
discovery of the silver mines m Mexico
and Bern by the Spaniards, and the enor
mous increase in the world’s stock of
silver which followed the owning of
those mines. A considerable jx'riod
elapsed after America licgan to jsiur its
silver wealth upou Europe liefore this
consequence was dearly manifested, but
it gradually o|x>rated until, from req air
ing a little more than eleven ounces of
silver to equal in vnhie an ounce of gold,
an ounce of gold became worth over fif
teen ounces of silver. A state of ap
proximate equilibriutn had been reached
in the eighteenth century, and the oscil
lations in the price of (Over for a long
time ranged within a narrow margin
nlxivc fifteen. Anew and more rapid de
pression set iu alxiut 1875. This, no
doubt, resulted in part from the discovery
of immense veins of silver in Nevada
and the production therefrom of silver
tmllion at * rate never Is'forr WtkoeMml.
and in part from the demonotizatiou of
silver by Oermauy, followed shortly after
by the practical prohibition of its further
coinage by the States of the Latin Union.
The demonetization of silver by the
United States in 1878 had little, if any,
influence in depreciating silver. For
many wears silver had not lieeu in circu
lation here, and the action of the govern
ment threw no silver upon the market.
If (lermany had been a country without
actual silver in circulation, aud using only
irredeemable |>a|M'r, it might have de
monetised silver in the nominal and theo
retical niaiiucr in which that act was per
formed here, aud no consequence what
ever in the IniUion maikut would have
followed. It wtuthofai t that tiio action
<>f (ieniinny threw hundreds at millions
of that metal on the market, which gave
it inqHirtaitoc. and. with the immense
production of the ('-omstock lisle, led t«
a sharp decline in bullion. /'xcfnuifje.
Amowo “thingsnot generally known" is
the fact, vouched for by Lucian Herbert
in n recent iMUO of the AUf/r»iri»r

leon 111. devoted a considerable jxir
tion of the time he passed in seclusion
after the failure of his celebrated Bou
logne enterprise to the translation of
Schiller's jswtical works. While an
inmate of the Conciergerta he made a
French metrical veision of tlie “Ode to
the Ideal, ’ which he subsequently sent,
when in the height of his power, to an
illustrious lady who had expressed a de
sire to jx'ruse it The translation was
accompanied by the following letter:
“Elysee, April, 1858.—Madame, in com
pliance with your wishes, I forward you
my version of Hclnller’s ‘Ode to the
Ideal.’ Am 1 right in so doing? May I
presume to submit the complaints of n

who of all others is tbe most capable of
resuscitating them? Accept, Madame,

the fact that he was equal to the ardu
