LENDING IDEAL MONEY.
The following letter has boon received, to
which Tub News takes pleasure in replyiug:
Lancabtkr, Toe., Aug. 24. -To Tna Ne>\s: In
your Saturday's issue J. M. Haley says the total
forcitfu capital invested in the United States is
1 $2,71)9,500,ofio: in your editorial you say of course
i this is iu United States money. The report of the
. director of the mint for 18W, as «iven in the World
i nlmanac, gives tho total amount of United States
money, coin and paper, $2,092,502,153. Now this
1 make* foreign capitalists hum or invest with us
; home |7oo ou0,000moroof United States money thau
there is iu existence. How can this be. and how
<lo foreigner* got |n>ssossioii of United States
money? l'leaao givo ine light. M. M. Milluk.
As a tfroat dramatist says, 14 each man in his
whole life plays many parts." One dollar in its
"life" pays many debts and represents many
investments. As to tho fact that tho foreign
capital loaned in tho United States is in the
shapo of American money it is only nocessary
to appeal to the experience of tho borrowers.
What they receive, if cash at all, consists of
tho current mom ) of tho country, and what
they pay ba«-k is in suoh money or
bank check . foreign capitalists who
deal in money : either actual or virtual
l»ossession of it by exchange of their foreign
money with for'- n producers of merchan-
dise exported to the United States or else-
where against bills of exchaugo which give
them credit at banks in the United States, en-
abling them to draw United States money
here: also by transferring to foreign ocean
carriers bank credits at foreign banks in ex-
change for the carriers' drafts on American
banks for money earned by carrying Ameri-
can freights, and in other ways, which includo
dividends and interest on former investments.
A Texas farmer borrowed $1000 from a New
York capitalist three years ago and paid it
out. It went east for implements, hardware,
etc. The Texan is paying 12 per cent, but he
hai the implements by which he increases his
production. An English tin worker ships IIOUO
worth of tin to Now York and gets credit there.
He draws in London the equivalent in English
sovereigns and transfers to another customer
of the London bank his draft on New Yoi!i.
The draft goes to the credit of the former
owner of the English sovereigns. He instructs
Ins agent to loan the American money in
Texas at 10 per cent. The Texan borrows it
through a bank,getting a draft on New York and
assigning that draft to the New York capitalist
for a release of his former mortgage, saving
per cent per annum. The New York capital-
ist assigns the draft or gives his check to a
Connecticut manufacturer of cutlery who is
putting a tin roof on his workshop. So far
there has been only $1000 used in actual money,
if any, and that was three years ago. Even
then drafts may have been used, if the farmer
had a bank account. The Connecticut cut-
lery manufacturer will sell cutlery aud the
Texan will sell cotton to pay off their
loans. No money came from England and
none need be sent to England. Both the Texan
and the Connecticut man have had their facili-
ties increased by the use of tho Englishman's
savings, which never left England actually,
except as tin. The New York capitalist real-
izes that the rate of interest in Texas was
lowered by the English investor. The sav-
ings banks aud the railways both illustrate
the operation of investing and reinvesting the
same money. The railways ot this country
have been valued at $9,000,000,000. The de-
positors put their money in a savings bank
aud it is loaned out. It goes to employ labor
in building, etc. The buildings bring rent and
the savings bauks get interest. The men em-
ployed iu building again save out of their
wage§ and deposit in the bank. Tho same
dollar goes repeatedly through the bank and
represents an investiiffent in structures of util-
ity. A depositor can get his money after no-
tice, but that does not mean that there is
money to pay all at once. On the contrary
the stipulation for time and notice con-
tains a recognition of the fact that the deposits
aro contributions to increase the accumulation
of wealth by abstinence from individual, final
consumption and by advances of the medium
of exchange, and that beyond a return of a
share of profit tho individual depositors aro
only to expect that such of them as want their
savings for final consumption can get them
as others will bo on the average willing to de-
fer such consumption and allow them to have
the medium of exchange itself, tho actual pos-
session of which stops the possessor's share in
profit. In like manner if tho owners of rail-
way sharos all wanted money or individually
consumable wealth at ouce, their shares would
realize comparatively nothing. The questions
asked are such as can bo applied to domestic
commerce as well as international commerce.
The same dollar is loaned many times nnd
many loans aro mado and repaid with-
out a dollar being seen. All that is
ordinarily necessary where thoro aro
banks is that the lender shall
have a satisfactory bank account. The
credit hero alluded to has nothing in com-
mon with the vulgar idea of credit as un-
secured trust. It means command of money
were it necessary to call for the money. Now
this being the case an amount of business, in-
cluding loans, can bo negotiated proportioned
to evidences of secured credit or power to
command money or its equivalent, and this
applies to repayment as well as lending at all
tunos except when tho public mind is tilled
with distrust as to tho valuo of securities.
TIIK UKASE ON RYE.
One step in paternalism requires another.
This truth is now illustrated in Russia with
reference to the export of ryo. The prohibi-
tion, to take effect at a future date, caused an
extraordinary activity to carry out of the coun-
try all the ryo that could be got together, as
tho price was rising in Germany, especially
from the announcement. It appears that
Russian speculators have equally advanced
tho price in li i --in: thus tho interference of
the goverainr t boon altogether against
iho consumers, aud at. usual a harvest for tho
shrewd speculators. The actual scarcity is
magnified by ai. ria into something terrible.
It would have been wiser, probably, if tho
government that was resolved to interfere had
shut down on the export trade at a day's no-
tice. Like the United States administration
in tho mode of opening Oklahoma, the Rus-
sian government practically organized a de-
moralizing race in wild excitement. And now
that ryo Hour is at a distressing high price in
Moscow in consequence of the speculation,
which government paternalistic prohibition
has done tho most to stimulate, tho authorities
find it necessary to compel employers to suj>-
ply their workmen with flour or bread at less
than tho market price. Next, of course, tho
press will bo glorifying the beneficence of
government providence in such a crisis, ignor-
ing the simple fact that governmental med-
dling with trade created the Hurry and acuto

Patent Mediolnes.
Pharmaceutical Era.
From a report made by the commissioner of
patents in 1849 it appears that eighty-six pat-
ents for medicine had been granted to that
date, for the specifications of most of those
issued beforo 183b had been lost by fire. Tho
greater number of patents for medicines were
issued between 1850 and 184X). The total num-
ber of patents granted for uiodicinos during
the last decade (1880-1890) is 540. This, how-
ever, applies only to "patent medicines,"
properly so-called, the claims for which are
for the most part presented by simple-minded
inon who know very little of the ways of tho
world. A patent requires a full und unre-
served disclosure of the recipe, and the mode
of compounding the same, for trie public ben-
efit when tho torin of the patont shall have ex-
pired; and tho commissioner of patents may,
if ho chooses, roquiro the applicant to furnish
specimens of the composition and of its ingre-
dients sufficient in quantity for tho puri>ose of
experiment. The law, however, does not re-
quire the applicant to furnish patents to bo
ex)>erimented on, and this jr y be the reason
why tho commissioner has nevnr demanded
samples of the ingredients. Ily fa* the greater
number of tho owners of i^naccas and nos-
trums arc too shrewd to im publish their
secrets, for they cau attain their purpose much
better under the law for registering trade-
marks and labels, designs for bottles and
packages, and copyrights of printed matter,
which are less costly and do not roveal the ar-
canum. Those proprietary medicines consti-
tute tho great bulk of what the public call
"patent medicines."

What the Newspapers Throughout Texas
Are Talking About.
Tho Houston Age remarks:
Mr. T. J. Hurley of Fort .Worth is presi-
dent of the Texas Worlds !• air Exhibit
association. He was born in New York and
that is an excellent stato to bo bom in. It
produces enterprising men, and Mr. Hurley
is an enterprising man. 13"* Mr. Hurley has
been only four years in Texas, and as tho
chief representative of Texas at the worlds
fair it occurs to the Ago that it would have
been better to have selected some older Texan,
one who has boen in Texas from the early
days, and who from personal knowledge and
recollection oould talk to visitors to tlvo Texas
department of the world's fair, not merely of
Texas as sho is now, but of Texas as she was
forty or fifty years ago, and of her growth and
development through all those years, of the
exjsisure, the perils and the struggles of her
pioneers, of thoexcitiug scenes and incidents
in her history, ouch a man, for instance, as
Frank Lubbock, or Si. S. Munson, or Henry
B. Andrews. We hope now that some empty-
headed, half-witted, erack-brainod gosling will
not accuse us of making this suggestion be-
cause Mr. Hurley is a New Yorker. That
would be the superlative and ridiculous excess
of folly. We like New Yorkers, and marched
and fought during tho war under Captain
Faulkner, who is a New Yorker, though ho
left that state and came to Texas when ho was
a boy. New Yorkers an» good mon and wo
aro always glad to have them come, and givo
them a cordial welcome. But we think it
would Ik? better to have for our chief repre-
sentative in tho world's fair a Texan who has
been in the state more than three or four
years.
Tho Ago may bo l ight, but it spoke too lato,
as the fellow said as tho chickon chirped
when ho swallowod it with the raw egg. Old
Texans are not self-seekers, but are backward
in coming forward when places and patronage
are to be bestowed. All things do not come to
thoso who wait. Most things are got by those
who go for them.
Tho Seguin Record says:
The first number of the Scguiner Doutscher
Zeitung made its appearance on last Hat-
day. It starU >iUt with a line lino of advertis-
ing and a good subscription list. The editor
ami proprietor of the Zeitung is well known in
this community as a good writer and energetic
business man, and will doubtless achieve tho
success he merits.
Tho Aransas Pass 3? aeon revives the old
idea of iuland, landlocked navigation aloug
the Texas coast:
The local trade which alwnys builds up the
retail trade of every town, which is the trade
that sustains population, must come from the
bay shores along the coast and the rivers omp-
tyiu|( into them. By means of this water com-
munication fonned by a chain of bays ex-
tending eastward to the mouth of the Brazos
we should control the trade of the counties of
Refugio, Calhoun, Matagorda and a large por-
ti"U of Victoria and Jackson.
It would be a comparatively cheap and easy
thing to connect ali the bays and lagoons
along tho coast of Texas by canals. The idea
is an old one and once received the attention
of congress. A canal has long connected the
river Brazos with Galveston and another of a
fow miles would connect cast Galveston bay
u ith the Sabine.
Tho Brenham Banner says:
The object of the exhibit car in running
over the country is to advertise tho resources
of Texas and induce immigration to the Lone
Star state, and from the widespread attention
it is attracting and the newspaper advertising
it secures for the state it will no doubt be a
paying investment.
The burly form of ex-Governor Hubbard,
tho exhibitor, also shown that man is not a
growth that dwindles here.
The Aransas Pass Beacon looms up above
the land and water of the circumjacent region
and shouts in the biggest spread-head type:
"Croakers to your holes! Avaunt, yo doubt-
ing souls! Torch lights, cannons, fifes and
drums! She steams! She moves! She
comes! Sho comes! Her banners fiy from
the topmost mast Tho deed is done—all woe
is past. The City of Rockport will soon be
here, for tho news has come that tho coast is
clear!" Then the Beacon lowers its lurid
light and comes down to facts and small type
to tell "vat ish all dot fuss apout up dar:"

Moal from Texas Siftings:
A friend in need is a friend who generally
strikes you for a quarter. The vilest sinner
may return everything except an umbrella.
The independent man is very often in depen-
dent circumstances. If wo find no faults in
ourselves, we should not take pleasure in ob-
serving thoHo of others. Ever; body has more
or less cause to bo unhappy. Happy is tho
man who is too busy to be miserable. "Clear
out of hero 1" yelled an exasperated Texas
saloon-keeper to a dead beat. "Ypu know you
ain't tolerated in any tiocont saloon; that's
why you are always prowling about here," A
certain scientific gentleman says that crime is
more rampant in hot weather than in cold. It
is easy to commit crime when mosquitoes and
fleas abound and tho thermometer plays be-
tween ninety aud one hundred* Xhe hot
weather riles a man all uti; he has no appre-
ciation of the beautiful wlien a rivulet of sweat
is coursing down his back and overflowing his
boots. And again, heat and humidity take
away his apoctite: he can't eat, so gets hungry
and cross. Everybody knows that a hungry
man is a dangerous man; he is not fit for busi-
ness.
Tho San Antonio Light remarks:
Watterson thinks that the new south is
returning to tho days of the good old south,
but the star-eyed seems to have forgotten that
revolutions never go backward. There is still
too much old south in the new south for nine-
teenth century progress, but it's growing
smaller by degrees and beautifully less.
In the old south the white man refused to
work liko tho negro; in tho new south tho
negro refuses to work liko the white man.

THE ALIEN LAND LAW.
An Englishwoman's Kemonstranoe to the
People of Texas.
Tecttmsbh, Callahan County, Tex., Aug. 34.
—To ThbNews: Upon a former occasion,
when you paid^mo the compliment of insert-
ing a letter from mo on political matters, and
also publicly expressed your approval of the
same, 1 was iu tho happy position of sharing,
with few exceptions, the views of the entire
cofhiniinity and re-echoing their sentiments.
To-day, alas! I am under tho disagreeable
necessity of not only differing from but con-
demning tho citizens of Texas in terms that
under tho circumstances can not be considered
too st ringent.
It is now many years ago whon as a for-
eigner and an Englishwoman I came to reside
on a eattlo ranch in this Ktate, almost before
the pioneer days had closed. It was literally
the "wild west," although the unwritten laws
of the prairie, observed with scrupulous fidel-
ity, uiade it as safe, or perhaps a safer, rcsi-
donco than under the jurisdiction of legalised
authorities. Both in the wilderness and tho
cities and on my long travels I have never
met with the slightest discourtesy on account
of my nationality. On the contrary-, I have
often received additional kindness and hos-
pitality from the circumstance of being a for-
eigner, und esjiecinlly from tho southern peo-
ple. with whose cause and subsequent mis-
fortunes we so ardently sympathized during
the great war of secession.
Notwithstanding this total alisenee of pet
sonal hostility one could not be blind to tho
existence and particularly among tha tmool*
turedclasses of a smoldering of the old tiro of
antipathy to tho "Britisher" nnd an irresist-
able desire to "twist tho lion's tale" that
breaks out at intervals in rather au objection-
able form to which statesmen aro too much
inclined to i»ander for political purposes in-
stead of using their influence to check it as un-
worthy of the leading republic of the world.
It was to gratify this Anglophobia that our
iate minister at Washington was ousted from
hh post ui*>n information obtained under
false pretenses, 1 must a*k you whether your
great President Lincoln, of whom as a man
true and just in all his di alings both north
and south may Ihj proud to own us u fellow
citizen, would not have weathered a storm of
reprobation and resigned bis office rather than
drag tho stars and stripes through the mire by
indorsing au act- of treachery?
And now tho vast state of Texas is surpassing
all previous experiences, for tins new alien
lanu law, whilst professing to includo the na-
tions of tho earth, is virtually aimed at us, tho
most extensive alien proprietors of landed
estates. Please remember tliat we did not
come here uninvited, or in opposition to your
wishos. You allured us w ith the most glow-
ing descriptions of tho promised land and the
freedom and security of touure to foreigners
who settled within its borders. The title deeds
to our investments wore indorsod by the stato
and mado binding and irrevocable to our-
selves, onr heirs and assigns, and based upon a
treaty between tho respective governments of
America and Great Britain. Besides the
thousands invested in purchaso money we
have expended additional sun^s in improving
our newly acquired possessions. We have
lived peaceably among you, obeying your
laws, paying our lawful debts, wronging no
one and in fancied security. Suddenly wo
awake to find a revolver at our heads. Stand
and deliver! Renounce tho hind of your
birth, with its privileges aud associations,
or wo confiscate every inch of your property
and leave you to beggary! If my countrymen
feel as I do on tho matter they would bo glad
to escape from a country where the eighth and
tenth commandments are for tho future to bo
reckoned as "just no account at all" were we
not placed in a terrible dilemma—either to
dispose of our ranches in a market that will
be glutted with forced sales during the time
fiicd for our expatriation, or submit to condi-
tions humiliating to all under those couipuU
sory circumstances and impossible to some.
So long as this law remains unrepealed
every citizen in Texas is virtually NSpohtibl#
for it, but, from the strong expressions of dis-
approval that have reached me and the gen-
eral tone of tho press, I believe there is a con-
siderable proportion of the population to
whom it is most distasteful, and who keenly
feel the discredit and injury it has brought
upon than*
If foreign treatios made by tho United States
can be repudiated at any time in any part of
her dominions America oaasas t<> « \m. htr
nationality is broken up. each state becomes a
separate unit, acknowledged by no other civil-
ized power and stranded in complete isolation,
Then thero is tho inevitable ruin of many
happy American homes and tho petty tyranny
of forbidding a free citizen to sell his land to
tho highest bidder if he happens to be a for-
eigner, for which tho seizure of our property
will never bo an equivalent. Tho socialist of
small means, who regards everyono owning a
few more dollars than himself as a mortal
enemy to be dealt with according to tho gospel
of plunder, who has, I suspect, far more to do
with this business than appears on the surface,
will see his cherished confiscations swept oil
by the bigger sharks—the speculators who will
blossom into millionaires on the proceeds,
leaving the weaker brethren to their well de-
lerTN fate
Should the law eventually be repealed, it will
be years before Texas recovers from this shock
to her credit. The marvelous progress—lately
advancing by "leaps and bounds"—haa boen
indefinitely arrested. Capitalists at homo and
abroad will reflect that what has boon done
once may bo done ngain, and hesitate to con-
fide in her. In the New England statos it has
already been remarked: "They may freeze
them out next," and stagnation and paralysis
are creeping upon us.
For oursolvos, tho principal victims, I trust
my countrymen will not submit to bo shorn
without a desperate resistance. If tho Jews
of Russia, who are experiencing aimilar treat-
ment, can agitate the world on their behalf
we can do the same. Foldod hands and sto-
ical indifference will not avail in this emer-
gency. Wo must considor tho best steps to bo
taken for our protection nnd lose no time in
taking them.
Those aro thrico armed whose cause is
just, and surely such a wrong and robbery—
worthy of the dark ages or tho most dospotic
government—will not find a permanent place
in the nineteenth century and in a land whoso
boast and glory it is that freedom and inde-
pendence are granted aliko to all comers, as
well as to the native-born. o. c.
His Hand-Print Oonvioted Him.
A horrible case of murdor of tho Jack-the
Ripper kind has bepn tried at tho court of
assises at Lagouegro, Italy. Tho defendant
was a certain Domeuico Muscarl, who had
brutally murdered Aununziata del Gaudio, a
handsome woman, to whom he was said to
have boon betrothed, lio wantod to marry
another girl with whom ho had fallen iu love,
and had made an offer to her. Muscuri was a
handsome young man nnd tho girl accepted
him, but when sho learned of tho Gaudio
woman uho refused to havu anything to do
with him and broke tho engagement. This
made Muscarl furious, and he mado up his
mind to get rid of the other woman. He went
to her house ono evening when tho Gaudio
womuu wus asleep and stubbed her in tho
neck. A Jet of blood snurted from the wound,
io woman jumped up and begged
life. The answer was another stab, and when
tho poor creature caught hold of the knife tho
inhuman wretch pulled away and nearly sev-
ered her fingers from the hand. The woman
struggled hard for life and both wore covered
with the blood. Finally sho succumbed. Ho
then made a dash for the street, but left his
mark behind him. In pushing open the door
with his bloody hand he left an excellent im-
print in blood of his palm on the panel, and it
was through this mark that he was detected.
He was arrested on suspicion the following
day, but he had already washed the blood
from his face and hands. The bloody im-
print of his hand on the woman's door,
however, proved a potent if silent witness
against him.
WHAT 0HAUN0EY SAYS.
Blaine Can Have the Nomination if He
Wanta It.
This, from an interview with Hon. Chauncey
M. Depew, eablodjtho New York Herald from
London, is of political and general interest:
"Did you road tho resolution of tho Pensyl-
vania republican state convention indorsing
Blaine for president?"
"That resolution expresses the unanimous
opinion of the republican party throughout
the country. Blaine can have the nomination
by simply holding up his finger. He is tho most
phenomenally popular man in America. No
other man has reached such an eminence as
this creative statesman. Chaso created the
greenback, but died beforo his plans tri-
umphed. Blaine's masterly foreign i>ol-
icy, especially his dealings with the
Italian difficulty and his reciprocity
schemes, has oi>ened the eyes of tho
American people to his greatness. Other
men, like McKinley. have shown great ability,
but what they have aone has been an improve-
ment or modification of ideas already in force.
But reciprocity in the sense- adopted by Blaino
is brand new. The American people believe
ho has discovered the secret of our foreign
markets. South America, commercially
speaking, will bo ours; so will Cuba. Tho
farmer, manufacturer and wage worker seo
the depth and breadthof the reciprocity policy.
Blaine holds tho nomination of the next presi-
dential candidate in his hands. All the divis-
ions in the party against him have vanished.
Even his enemies admire him. A word from
him and he a the i^andidatf of the paxty* But
Blaino is an old man and not in vigorous
health to stand the excitement of a presiden-
tial campaign and live. Tho man must not
only be in perfect health and prime condition,
and when the time for nomination comes
Blaine's family and friends may force him to
decline.''
"And then?" I asked.
"And then President Harrison would be re-
nominated."
"Mr. Depow, do you houestly think there is
a chance for Harrison being renominated?"
"It is a certainty if Blaino declines."
"Who do you think will be the democratic
nominee?"
"Cleveland, if he can reconcile his already
expressed views with tho silver plank that will
l>e put in the democratic national platform.
Tho only thing Cleveland can do is to come
beforo the democratic convention and say, 'If
I am elected president I will be the servaut of
my i arty, ana will accept any policy formu-
latcd by tho majority of my party in congress.'
If Cleveland does he will be nominated. If ho
does not, he wiD not oe nominated."
THREW HIS MONEY AWAY.
The Story of a Physician Who Was the
Victim of Circumstances.
Rochester Democrat.
Whon the doctors, in a jovial mood, get to-
gether they invariably tell stories if they have
any timo on their liands. Half a dozen Roch-
ester physicians wore feeling particularly
happy and exultant a few days ago. They
had passed a delightful hour in making au ex-
amination of tho body of a man killed in an
accident, and woro well pleased with each
other and tho gentleman who had furnished
them with their scientific amusement. When
they were through thoir work they adjourned
to the office of one of their number and began
telling exi>erieuces and reminiscences. They
told of exciting amputations and exhilarating
operations until it came tho turn of the oldest
man preseut to speak. Then such a tale was
unfolded as brought tears to tho eyes of many
present.
"Whon I was a young man," said the old
physician, "I practiced In a western city*
This was about thirty years ago. It was not a
great while after I had my first case that I was
called one day to attend a young man who had
a most peculiarly studied beau. Under my
care the fellow soon got well, but 1 cultivated
hi* acquaintance to servo certain onds that I
had iu view.
"When I camo to know the young man
well I told him frankly that I wanted
is head. You all know that I have always
made brain diseases a specialty, and I thought
that the man's head, with its abnormal devel-
opment, would bo a splendid subject for study.
Tna chap f<<ll m with my pgopowU* I gave
him $100, and ho made a will iu which he men-
tioned me as the heir to his head. To bo suro
the fellow was young, but so was I, and I was
willing to wait.
"Well, gentlemen, within less than a year
after we had completed arrangements tho
young fellow was killed."
"Lucky man," said one of the listeners, and
all the others gave evidence that they thought
the doctor was fortunate.
"But, gentlemen," continued the old physi-
cian, "the fellow was struck ou the head by a
safe that fell to tho sidewalk while being taken
into the third story window of a block," and
tho old fellow's voice choked with emotion at
tho remembrance of the wrong that had been
done him.
"Saddest thing I ever heard of," said one of
tho listeners, while others walked up and shook
tho victim's hand, too full for utterance.
A Courteous Man.
Detroit Free Press.
Show me tho man who is habitually cour-
teous to othor mon of all dogrccs, and I will
show you a man who is sure to bo kind to his
wife, his children and his horse. 1 saw a man
give up his seat in a horse car the other day to
another who was old and shabby. After stand-
ing for ten minutes, the one first named
alighted, and three little children danced down
to the gate to meet him. Good tendencies are
always rocordod on earth, although good acts
may wait for a space.

OUHRBHT POLITICAL UOMMJDMT.
The very distinct utterance of President
Harrison at Albany last week on the currency
question has had one consequence which was,
perhaps, not unintended, and which is inter-
esting. It has given rise to considerable dis-
cussion iu various quarters as to what position
Mr. Blaine may feel inclined to take on the
same question. The Springfield Republican,
coupling Mr. Harrison'* remarks with the
amazing currency resolution of tho Pennsyl-
vania republican convention, which waa so ob-
viously and openly a Blaine convention, rea-
sons that the contest between Blaine and Har-
rison, or between tho Blaineites and tho Harri-
sonites, may well turn on this point. [New

Full returiiH, however, show that the gains
were much larger iu proportion in liberal than

A Model Letter Box.
All who have suffered tho annoyance of hav-
ing their morning pai>ers stolen from the front
door steps will welcome the relief which is as-
sured by a new form of letter box. This box
is attached to the insido of the outer or street
door of the store or dwelling. It is aecossiblo
from without at all hours, access to it being
gained by means of a swinging door or gate,
which may bo made as ornamental as desired,
and if necessary may have tho owner's name
engraved upon it aud serve as a door plate.
The width of this combination door plate and
letter slot is sufficient to admit, besides letters,
papers and small packages of merchandise.
The packages, by an ingenious arrangement,
fall behind and below tho box into a recepta-
cle placed there for their accommodation, and
the letters fall directly into tho box, which a
clever device guards so completely that the
improper abstraction of its contents i« impos-
sible. This object is attained by a swinging
gate, which, while easily proSsod in by the
weight of the letters in the carrier's hands,
will close tightly as soon as tho haud is with-
drawn.

That poops from a woodland bower j
And ono dear scene comet changolosa,
A wooded hill and a river;
A deep cool bond whore tho lilies eud
And tho elm tivo shadows quiver.
And I lie on tho brink thoro dreaming
That tho life 1 live is a droum,
That the real is but the seotning.
And the true is tho sun-flecked stream.
Beneath m< tho porch and tho beavor sail by,
In tho dim cool dopthsof tho river;
Tho struggling fly breaks tho mirrorod sky,
And tho elm treo shadows quiver.
Thero aro voices of childron away on the hill:
There are bees thro' the fag flowers humming)
Tho lighterman calls to tho clock aud tha mill
On tile farther sido is drumming.
And I sink to sloop iu my dream of a droani,
in tho gra^s by tha brink of the rlvor,
Where t ho voicos blond und the lilies eud,
And tho elm tree shadows quiver.
Like a gift from tho past, is the kindly dream, '
For the sorrow, and passion, und pain
Aro adrift liko tho loaves ou tho breast of tho
stream,
And tho child life comes again.
O tho sweot, sweet paiu of Joy that died I
Of a pain that Is joy forever I
O t,ho life that died in tho stormy tide
That was once my sun-flocked river,
