to do away altogether with that tickle

would be required to carry the engines
and fuel for working them. Then my
thoughts soon turned to that simple
toy, the kite, and on that well-known

fc- -
— many men and women, the guide-
book in their hands forgotten for one
moment, have leaned upon a block of
marble with half-closed, musing eyes,
and breath drawn so slow that it Is al-
most quiet, held in day-drearn wonder;
and they have seen rise a vision of past
things and beings, even in the broad
afternoon sunshine, out of stones that
remember Cesar's footsteps, and from
walls that have echoed with Antony's
speech. There they troop up the Sacred
Way, the shock-headed, wool-draped,
beak-nosed Romans; there they stand
together in groups al the corner of
Saturn's temple; there the half-naked
plebeian children clamber upon the
pedestals of the columns to watch the
crowd, and double the men's deep tones
with a treble of childish chatter; there
the noble boy, with his bordered toga,
his keen young face, and longing back-
ward look, Is hurried home out of the
throng by the tall household slave, who
carries his school-tablets and is re-
sponsible for his safety.
A consul goes by, twelve lictors
marching with him—black-browed,
square-jawed, relentless men, with
their rods and axes. Then two closed
litters arc carried past by big, black,
oily fellows, beside whom walk freed-
men and Greek slaves, and three or
four becurled and be-scentcd parasites,
tho shadows of the great men in the
litters. Under their very feet the little
street-boys play their game of pitching
at tiny pyramids of dried lupins be-
cause they have no filberts, and lupins
nre almost as good; and as the dandi-
fied hanger-on of Mecenas, straining his
ear for the sound of his patron's voice
from within the litter, heedlessly
crushes the little yellow beans under
his sandal, the particular small boy
whose stake is smashed clenches his
list, and with flashing eyes curses the
dandy's dead to the fourth generation
of ascendants, and he and his compan
ions turn and scatter like mice as one
of the biggest slaves threateningly
raises his hand.
Absurd details rise in the dream. An
old crone is selling roasted chestnuts
in the shadow of tho temple of Castor
and Pollux; a tipsy soldier is reeling
to his quarters with his helmet stuck
on wrong side foremost; a knot of Jew-
ish money-changers, with long curls
and high caps, arc talking eagerly in
Hebrew, and clutching the little bags
they hide in the sleeves of their yellow
Eastern gowns; a bright-eyed, skinny
woman of the people boxes her daugh-
ter's ears for having smiled at one of
the rich men's parasites, and the girl,
already crying, still looks after the
fashionable good-for-nothing under her
mother's upraised arm.
All about stretches the vast hum-
ming city of low-built houses covering
the,short, steep hills and filling all the

PROOF AGAINST BULLETS.
Several \ollryn Could Not Kill a I
Condemned to Death.
Mexico dispatch to the San Francis-
co Examiner: The remarkable case
of a patient in the San Pablo
hospital is attracting attention all
over the world. The man was
condemned to death some weeks
ago in the state of Guanajuato for steal-
ing a large can of kerosene oil. Why
so severe a penalty was imposed for so
'* | trif\ing an offense is not stated. When
the day of execution arrived he was
led out into the suburbs and placed be-
fore a brick wall. \ squad of state
troops was stationed a few paces off.
At the word "Fire!" they poured a vol-
ley into the poor unfortunate. Then
two soldiers advanced until they were
standing just over his prostrate figure,
and in this position with their revolv-
ers they tried to lire more bullets Into
the man's brain. The soldiers returned
to the garrison, leaving the body to be |
called for by the prison wagon. When
they •were well out of sight the man
who had been shot struggled to Ills feet,
much higher. Never once have 1 ex-
' perienced the least uncomfortable mo-
I tlon. When the car has been let up to
the full extent of the rope, equivalent
to a height of some 400 feet, it has in-
variably floated steadily and well. The
ropes and tackle have, with a few ex-
ceptions easily remedied, always stood
their work well, and those seeing the
apparatus for the first time have gen-
erally expressed surprise at its ease and
steadiness.
Strange Phase*.
! It is rumored that bicycles are to take
' on strange phases. In England a front
i driving wheel of low stature Is much
; in use It is really a descendant of the
high bicycle, as it discards the chain
and uses, as did that big affair, the front
wheel for both driving and steering.
Its admirers claim many advantages
for it. its chief one being its very light
weight. A twenty-one inch machine,
geared to a fifty-seven inch frame, with
full roadster equipments, does not
weigh more than twenty-three pounds.
The new whel is easier to learn to ride,
it is claimed, than the rear driver,
! lion can light a desperate and long-
drawn-out war with nothing but pa-
I per, and go to ruin in a time of pro-
I found peace the moment the gold stand-
| ml falls, Is too absurd for serious con-
i ^deration. So far from our prosper-
i ity depending upon the preservation
I )f the gold standard, the policy inau-
I unrated in 1X711 of forcing the business
' of the Western world to the slender ba-
i sis of gold is the very thing that peo-
I pie are complaining of. The business
of Europe and America had through
centuries of time been adjusted to the
broad base of gold and sliver in com-
bination. Suddenly one of them was
taken away. Down went prices and
up went the burden of debt. The cred-
itor was enriched and the debtor was
impoverished. Tho non-producer,
basking in idleness and luxury, was
enabled to buy what he wanted with
less money. The producer the back- I
bono of our national life and strength j
-—was compelled to work twice as many
hours and give up twice as much of the i
product or his toil to get the same num-
ber of dollars. The prosperity of a
country depends upon the maintenance
of a fair range of prices. No matter
whether the money in use consists of
gold, silver or paper any or all if the
quantity lie such as to preserve a fair
and healthy price level, business pros-
perity will be assured In the absence
of unnatural disturbances. The demon-
etization of sliver lowered the price
level, subverted equities and destroyed
prosperity. Suppose one-half of the
gold now In the world were to be
thrown into the deepest part of the
sea. Would It. not have some effect
upon business? Certainly but how?
Simply by making money scarce and
hard to get. That Is, prices would fall
greatly. Those in debt would find it
impossible to procure money with
which to meet their obligations. The
demonetization of silver operated In
precisely the same way, except that as
the sljver was not. entirely destroyed
the process was slower. The true stand-
ard of value iH that which will main-
tain a steady average price level, be-
cause all business Is done on the basis
of "price." When the people of the
United States come to realize this sim- |
pie truth the money question will he
speedily settled and it will be settled
right. A monetary standard under
which prices are constantly falling is
is far from being sound as anything
n finance can be.
tlon of gold ami silver coin shall keep
pace with the annual Increase of popu-
lation, commerce and Industry. Ac-
cording to my view on the subject, the
conspiracy which seems to have beert
formed here and in Europe to destroy
by legislation and otherwise from
three-sevenths to one-half the metallic,
money of the world is the most gigan-
tic crime of this or any other age.
The consummation of such a scheme
would ultimately entail more misery
upon the liumat> race than all tne wars,
pestilence and famine that ever oc-
curred in the history of the world. The
absolute and Instantaneous destruction
of half the movable property of the
world, including horses, ships, rail-
roads and all other appliances for car-
rying on commerce, while It would be
felt more sensll ' at the moment,
would not produce nnythlng like the
prolonged distress and disorganization
of society that must Inevitably result
from the permanent annihilation of
one-half of the metallic money of the
world.

KeiMihllcans Will Do Well to Keep Thin
I.etter of Ills In Mind.
Treasury Department, July 15, 1878,
— Dear Sir: To that part of your let*
ter of the 12th inst., in which you
ask my views of the matter confided In
the monetary commission, I have some
delicacy in replying very fully. Dur-
ing the monetary conference In Paris,
when silver in our country was exclud-
ed from circulation by being under-
valued, I was strongly In favor of the
single standard of gold, and wrote a let-
ter which you will find in the proceed-
ings of the conference, stating briefly
my view At that time the wisest of
us did not anticipate the suudeu fall
of silver or the rise of gold that has
occurred. This uncertainty of the rela-
tion between the two metals Is one of
the chief arguments in favor of a mono-
metallic system, but other arguments,
showing the dangerous effect upon In-
dustry by dropping one of the precious
metals from the standard of value, out-
weigh In my mind all theoretical ob-
jections to the bimetallic system. I
am thoroughly convinced that If It
were possible for the leading commer-
cial nations to fix by agreement an ar-
bitrary relation between silver and
gold, even though the market value
: might vary somewhat from time to
I time, It would he a measure of the
I greatest good to all nations. My earnest
desire Is that you may succeed in doing
j this.
You are so well informed upon this
ubject that It Is not worth while for
me to enlarge upon it. The statements
md documents sent you by the dlrec-
or of the mint will give in-authentic
' form most of the material facts which
bear upon the question, and your own
I investigation upon the silver commls-

and need a man in the presidential .
chair who can "govern" them. That Is
exactly what Mr Cleveland has been
trying to do in dealing with the money
question. He has paid no more at ' n
tlon to the laws of congress than If th< y
had never been passed. The "Sherman
law" provided as clearly as language
can speak for the purchase at its mar-
ket. price of 4,500,000 ounces of silver
each month.
For several months before the repeal
only about one-half of the required
amount was purchased. The specious
preten-«- was that somebody had "corn-
ered" the market and forced up the
price. Upon that same theory Harri-
son might have refused to buy any dur-
ing his entire term, and the law would
have been nullified from the first.
The answer is no answer at all, for
there Is always speculation to every
"mirket" and in all commodities. The
raising of the price of silver was the
precise purpose which the law had in
view so as to establish and maintain a
parity between the two metal
Mr. Cleveland has also coolly set the
law at defiance by refusing to pay gov-
ernment obligations in silver, borrow-
ing gold instead, and increasing the in-
terest-bearing debt of a people already
staggering under a load too heavy for
them to bear.
It Is scarcely necessary to say that
Mr. Bayard is a sound money" man
of the most pronounced type.
Show us a man anywhere who thinks
the American people need a "real man"

ii should, firs', at least, lay a founda-
tion of substantial argument. This It
would undoubtedly do if It could, but it .

Let the reader glance at the follow-
ing sample taken from the editorial re-
ferred to:
I I,. >trange spectacle is thus pfe-
sented of the silver kings taking pos-
oi o! • gateway, of legislation
by seizing upon the senate finance com-
mit!.. to make government pay a law-
ihi dollar for a half dollar's worth of
white metal, the profit to go into the
pockets of the silver kings; while out
in the country labor Is to be beguiled
and bamboozled Into a secret oder to
ci.eat Itself into thinking that 50 cents
i* a good enough dollar for wages.
Give me a dollar for half a dollar, say
the senate silver kings *to Uncle Sam;
I II give you 50 cents for the dollar of
our wages, say the same kings to
the American workingmen. "Let's call
ourselves patriots," says "Coin" Har-
ve, to the workingmen, and you take
50 cents for the dollar of your wages
to prove you are patriots."
