NASBY 0N SILVER.
Consunnnrr X Roms (Wich is in‘ the
state of Kentucky), J an. 22, 1876—1
ain’t so certain that I want the silver
bill to pass ez I was. The fact is the
thing don’t work as I sposed it wood,
and I ain’t clear onto it. There
is suttle .princlples in these finanshel
questions wich requires a great deal of
thought, and there is underlying prin-
ciples wich a man has got to under-
stand afore he 1s competent to set his-
self up ez authority.
One thing I’m certain _uv, Bascom
ain’t no finanseer, nor never will be,
and I told him so.
“Wat' is a finanseer ?” asked he.
“A finanseer,” sad I, assoming the
look of Dan’l Webster, “is a man which
kin pay his debts with nothin’ -a man
wich kin git suthin’ with nothin’.”
“The Corners, then, is full of finan-
seers,” he remarkt, bitterly, castin’ a
casual glance at his slate, wich wuz
jist full enufi‘ to turn over and begin on
tother side.
But he hezn’t any of the science uv
it. I wuz argooing with him the other
day in favor of my moshun uv a leather
currency. though I told him silver wuz
much the same thing, and, for exam-
ple, I would assoom that silver wuz to
be the currency uv the fucher.
“Now don’t you see, Bascom, that ef
Ihed twict ez much money, I cood
drink twict as much whiskey and pay
for it?”
“How much'is twice nothin’?” wuz
the unfeelin’ answer uv the tyrant who
holds the destinies uv the Corners in
his hands. “That’s wot 'your capitle
hez bin ever since I knowd yoo.
“Parson,” sed he, ‘,I don’t see what
erthly difference it’s goin’ to make
whether silver is currency or anything
else. How are you goin’ to git silver
of it is made legal tender? Ef silver
wuz ez plenty ez bricks, w ’at hev you
got to git any uv it with? ”
“Troo, G. W..” wuz my answer, “but
can’t you see that to hev silver wood
releeve the dettor class? Even now,
afore it is legal tender, it’s only wuth
92 cents on the dollar, and when the
country is flooded with it 1t will go still
lower. Then we—or rather sich uv us
ez hev property to raise money on—kin
pay 011—”
' “Eggsactly so,” retorts Bascom; “you
kin pay me for the good, honest likker
uv mine, wich you hev consoomed, in
coin wich is less than the dollar you
promised. All rite. But look here——
come in here, all uv yoo. Iwant yoo
silver men to know exactly w’at you are
rushin’ into.”
And this feend led us into the back
room—that back room wich contanes
the subsistence uv the Corner. There,
in long rows, wus Bascom’s stock.
There, in barrils, piled one on top uv
another, wus the dellshus whiskey uv
Louisville, uv different ages, rangin.’
from that uv two weeks old to that
wich hed jist left the still, and was
scarcely cold yit. There it lay, and ez
my eye ranged afi‘eckshunately over it,
I felt ef I cood hev the drinkin’ uv all
that likker I wood be content to lay
down and die when the last drop wuz
gone.
Bascom p ’inted to an immense tank
wich he hed erectid within a few days,
with a pipe running in from the roof.
“I shan’t raise the price uv likker in
consekence uv bein’ paid for it in a
depreshiated currency 2” sad he,
I fell on Bascom’s neck, in an extacy
uv delite. while the others shouted,
“rah for Bascoml”
“G. W.” I remarkt, while teers suf-
foosed my eyes, “I never placed yoo
much below the angels, but this gener-
ous act has histed yoo a hundred per
cept in my estimashun. Bless yoo, G.
.W., bless you.”
“But I’ll tell you W’at I shell do.
Do you see that tank ‘3 ’ aed b.-
“May I ask w’at that is for?” said I.
“That tank will fill with rane water,”
sed he. . “The moment yoo git to payin’
' me in silver I shell take out uv each of
them birrils 'jist eggsackly three and
one-fifths gallons uv likker and fill it
with water.”
“Merciful hevingsl” we all ex-
claimed, “and the poor likker so weak
w.”
“And when silver gits down to 75
cents on the dollar I shell take out 25
per cent uv whiskey and fill her up
with 25 per cent of water. And .so on
down. Ef silver goes up I shell add
whiskey eggsackly in proporshen. In
short, my whiskey is jist agoin’ to foller
currency, and nothin’ shorter. Yoo
fellers wich work for wagis may swet,
but I won’t. ”
a great improvement and would bring
“But yoo’l increase the size of your
glasses 9” sad I.
“Not say. But yoo may drink wicet
ez many times to git the same amount
uv drunk ez before by payin’ for each
drink.”
And Bascom stalked hawtily back and
took his position behind his bar.
Ther wuz consternashun in the Cor-
ners sich ez I hev never seen. Ther wus
a hurried consultashun at the Deekin’
house and I sejested that we emanci-
pate ourselves from the deminyun uv
this tyrant by startin’ a grosery uv our
own, on the joint stock principle which
wus agreed to each man aggreein’ to
contribbit $10 to the capitle stock which
would be enough to buy a barl or two,
for abeginnin’ .
We wuz enthoosiastic till we come to
ballotin’ for the man to keep the place,
when it ,wuz found instid uv my‘ bein’
chosen, yoonanimusly, es I eggspected
to be, that every man had votid for his-
self. Ez not a soul of them would re-
cede the skeem wus blocked rite there
and finally had to be abandoned, and
we went back to Bascom’ s- and submit-
t1d. That tyrant had us.
Uv course we can’t stand likker di-
looted in that manner. We are willin’
enufl to diloot the currency" with which
to pay for likker, but we want our lik-
ker full strength. We coodent help it,
but that nite we signed and sent to our
Repre entative a remonstrance agin’
the silver bill. The Corners is now for
ahonest currency. Wood, 0 wood that

VOTE FOR CONGRESSMEN.
Of Special Interest to Voters.
i;
The Hartford Post says:
In 1894 the vote for Congressman “in
the First district was: Republican 20,-
322, Democratic 15.115. This year the
vote will probably be: Henry 23,000,
Tuttle 12,000, Hyde 4,000. In the
Second district the vote in 1894 was:
Republican 28,749, Democratic 21,821.
This year it will stand something like
this: Sperry 32,000, Fu'h r 19,000,‘Wood
5,000. In the Third district the vote in
1894 was Republican 12,095, Democratic
9.047. This year we may estimate it at
Russell 14,000 Fanning 8,000, 1 Ham-
mond 2,000. In 1894 the Fourth dis-
trict stood: Republican 24,012, Demo-
18,559. This yearit is likely to stand:
H11128,000 Houlihan, 16,000, Seymour
4,000.
The last Legislature consisted of
23 Republican Senators and one Demo-
cratic, and 205 Republican Assembly-
men, 46 Democratic and one Popluist.
In the next Legislature there will, ac
cording to all indications be 24 Repub-
lican Senators and none Democratic.
The only Democratic Senator in the
last Senate was John H. Hall of this
district which is safely enough Repub-
licanthis year. There were only two
Senatorial districts which were close in
1894 and they are safely Republican this
year. Judging from the returns from
the recent town elections'and taking in-
to consideration the general conditions
the next House is likely to have about
230 Republicans and 22 Democrats
either silver or gold.
Country Before Party.
It is a significant commentary on the
mutability of politics, that Barnum and
Richardson—one the son, and the other
the long-time business partner of the
late Senator William H. Barnum, of
this state, who was for years the chair-
man of the Democratic National com-
mittee -—both life-long and active Demo-
crats, have renounced and denounced
Bryan, free silver and the Chicago
platform, and declared for the gold
standard and McKinley, not stopping
even at the Palmer and Buckner ticket.
This double conversion will make their
town of Salisbury hopelessly Republi-

Impure Vinegar.
Dairy Commissioner John B. Noble
and his deputy R. L. Gilbert, have
been making an investigation through-
out the state into the subject of the
sale of impure vinegar. They have ob-
tained many samples of so-dalled "c1-
der” vinegar on sale in rdtail stores
and have submitted. them to, Dr. E. H.
' Jenkins, of the Connecticut Agricul-
tural Experiment Station for analysis.
Some of the samples show but 2per
cent. of solids, which proves :that it is
not cider vinegar. All this fraudulent
vinegar was branded on the cask,
“Pure cider vinegar,” and was sold by
agents from New York and St. Louis.

License Applications Returned.
The County Commissioners yester-
day returned all the New Canaan liquor
license applications, as a recent Su-
preme Court decision orders them to
accept the moderator’s return in case of
dispute. No license was carried at the
recent eleCtion in that place by a ma-
jority of one vote. The liquor men
claim the returns are incorrect. and
that votes for license legally cast were
rejected. The contest will now be car-

'REYMANN’S 'BIG'WHEEL.
It is Herein Norwalk and Will be Placed
on Exhibition.-
William Reysmann, of Harford coun-
ty, Maryland, is making a trip around
the world on a bicycle which he claims
there is not another in the world its
equal. The wheel was“built at Coventry
England. It weighs eighty pounds with,
his luggage, which he has attached to
it.
Reymann started out on his trip from
Boston three years ago and wont west,
passing through Chicago, St. Lewis,
across the Indian Territory, arriving
there about fifteen months ago. He
then changed his route and went through
all the principal southern states, inclu-
ding Louisiana, New Orleans, Arkansas
and finally reached Texas. When he
got there he expected to go to Califor-
nia, but changed his mind again and
decided that he would prefer going to
Europe than California.
Reymann and his wheel are in this
city, where he expects to remain a week
or more. He is a guest of Vincent Hon-
necker. Up to the present time he has
traveled over 20,000 miles. His wheel
will be placed on exhibition and it is a
novelty in the bicycle line well worth
seeing.

Fire at. Lewisboro.
Three barns on what is known as the
Aaron Wakeman farm, now owned by
Mrs. George Miller, at Lewisboro. were
destroyed by file Sunday. The fire
was first discovered between 7 and 8
o’clock. Neighbors quickly gathered
at the scene and succeeded in saving
several head of cattle and the horses,
poultry, farming utensils, carriages,
etc. The house was threatened with
destruction but the wind suddenly
veered in another direction, and with
the aid of buckets of water the sparks
that fell on the roof were drowned out.
The residence of Wilson Raymond was
also threatened but was saved by an
active bucket brigade. The barns and
a large quantity of hay and straw were
destroyed. The loss is partially cov-
ered by insurance. Rev. Charles M.
Selleck of this city was making a clerical
call at the Miller place at the time of
the fire and did valiant service in help-
ing to save property.

CARLISLE’__S_ LOGIC
The Wage-Earners’ Patriotic League
of Maryland, to the number of 200,
called on Secretary Curlisle at the treas-
ury to invite him to address them in
Baltimore. The secretary of the dele-
gation, made an address in which he,
said they were Cleveland and Carlisle
democrats who propose to vote for Mo-
Kinley as the representative of honest
money.
Secretary Carlisle mountel a chair,
and said. “Gentlmen, I am very much
obliged to you for this visit and very
sorry that it is not in my power to com-
ply with the request you have come to
make. I cannot go to Baltimore, but
one or two things have been suggested
by the address just made,‘about which
I would like to say a few words to you
while you are here. If there is a labor:
ing man in the United States who really
believes that the monhy he is now re-
ceiving for his wages is too good for
him, that it is buying too. much food,
_too much clothing for himself and 111s
family, or that it is paying the rent of
a better house than he and his family
ought to live in, it is his duty to vote
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. (Cheers)
"If there is any laboring man in the
United States who has saved money
out of his earnings and has deposited
it in a savings bank or building associa-
tion or paid it on a policy of life insur-
ance for the benefit of his family, and
who desires to have it paid back to him
in a currency worth about half as much
as the money he paid out, he also ought
to vote for the free and unlimited coin-
age of silver, for that will give him
exactly what he wants. On the other
hand, every man in the United States,
whether he works for wages or not,
who wants to preserve the value of what
he has already accumulated, and to in-
sure the value of what he may hereafter
recoive, ought to vote against the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and for
the maintenance of a sound and' stable
currency in this country. (Applause)
“While every man who works for
wages, or receives a fixed compensation
for his services, must be deeply inter-
ested in the result of the pending con-
test, those miu who work for railroani 3.
companies and other transportation
companies, many of whom reside in
your city, and some of whom are per-
haps here, have a special interest in the
questions involved, because their em-
ployers are confronted by asituation
which .makes it impossible to so increase
wages as to compensate for the di-
minished purchasing power of the
money in which wages must~ be 'paid if
the policy of free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1 is adopted. These
companies cannot increase wages unless
they can increase the receipts from
their business; theycannot increase the .
receips from their business unless they
can increase the charges for carrying
freight and passengers, and if they
should attempt to increase the charges
for carrying freight and passengers. it
is safe to say that the very people who
are now most clamorous for the free
coinage of silver would be: the first to
protest against it, and to demand legis-
lation to prohibit it in all cases where
such legislation is not already existing.
(Applause) The man, therefore, who
works for a transportation company
would find himself the helpless victim
of a policy, which diminished the pur-
chasing power ofhis wages about one-
half and compelled him to work on and
on for the same number of dollars he
received before. thus destroying all
hope of improvement of his condition.
- But, gentlemen, the laboring men have
their fate in their own hands. They
have the power to protect their wages
against depreciation and to protect
their country against financial disturb-
ance and ruin, and if they are as intelli-
gent and patriotic as I believe them to
be, they will so exercise their power
that] no reckless agitator will here-
after dare to approach them in behalf
ofhis wild and revolutionary scheme of
finances and civil government. (Pro-
longed applause.)

HOME-S OF THE CLAY-EATERS
A Peculiar Class of People “110 Live in
"Alabama.
Yellow clay as a daily food is-vrhnt'
many of the people of Winston co;.nr}',
Ala., live and thrive on. The cor-uty
of Winston is in the rOItIl“Llu(.1"‘
portion of the state and is spazscls
settled, its population being peer and
appearing to be eking out a mere ex-
istence. It is only within the "past
few years that the amount of taxes
collected from the entire county
amounted to $1,000. Until 101°. Win
stead was forty miles from the a rest
railroad and the county COILI‘t house
twenty“ miles further. Houses for
worship and those for- educational
purposes are few and far between. A
majority. of Winstead’s population live
in small log cabins of the rudest kind
and eke out a miserable existence by
farming, ‘hunting and fishing.
Their farms, or patches, as they call
them, are small clearings around
their cabins, and are seldom more than
a few acres in extent. Their crap (as
they invariably say) consists of corn,
peas, potatoes and a few who are for-
tunate enough to own a horse attempt
to raise a little cotton. The land is
very poor, and, as the Crops receive
little work, the yield is always small.
A few hogs are raised, but the ma-
jority depend on the country stores
for the few strips of bacon they all
during the year. Here in thiscounty,
though, the moonshine stills flourish as
the green bay tree. In almost every
cave and on every little brook among
the hills may be found a still whose
undertaker’s delight is produced by
the soft light of the moon and where
Uncle Sam fails to get his pull-down
of 90 cents on the gallon. These peo-
ple are too far from market to sell
their corn for money, but they can
convert it into good, straight liquor,
carry it in kegs or jugs to the more
thickly settled neighborhoods a few
miles away and obtain a few dollam
in money, some tobacco, coffee, and
snuff for the women folks. Men,
women and children are all slaves to
the tobacco habit. The women chew,
smoke, and dip snufl’, but “dipping” is
generally a Sunday luxury, as snuff
is hard for them to get.
The clay eaten by these people is
found along the banks of the small
mountain stream in inexhaustible
quantities, and is of a dirty white
color usually, sometimes a pale yel-
' . .11. peculiar oily appear-
ance, and the oil keeps it from stick-
ing to the hands or mouth. When
dry it does not crumble, and a few
drops of water will—easily soften it
until it can be rolled into any shape
desired. The clay is almost without
taste, but evidently possesses some
nourishment, as these people declare
they can subsist Imon it for days with-
out any other food whatever. They
place a small iece in the mouth and
hold it there u til it dissolves, and is
swallowed in small quantities at a.
time. The quantities eaten at one
time varies from one lump as large as
a pea for a. child 01' beginner to a.
lump as large as a man’s fist for those
who have eaten it for years. These
people eat the clay with a ravenous
relish, and the only had effect seems to
be the bad appearance it gives the
skin of those who become addicted
to the habit. The skin turns pale, so
pale, in fact, as to give the face the
pallor of death, and then later on it
turns a sickly pale yellow, 3. color
closely resembling some of the clay
eaten. Children who become addicted
to clay eating grow old, at least in ap-
pearance, prematurely, and their faces
lose forever the bright glow of youth
and health. Strange as it may appear,
there is little sickness among the clay
enters, and they live as long as the
average of mankind, this proving that
clay eating is not fatal in its effect.
Muscular Balance.
In an actor’s face the muscles are
exercised as thoroughly as are the
body muscles of an athlete who is un-
dergoing a systematic course in a.
gymnasium. Hence, in a typical ac-
tor’s face, when seen at rest, no one
group of expression muscles outpulls
the others; and, as a consequence of
this state of muscular balance, there
Is about it a peculiar aspect, sugges-
tive of a mask.
Primitive Sounds.
The sounds most easily produced in
infancy, such as pa, ma, flu, and the
like, are generally used to signify
father and mother; but it is a singu-
lar fact that what signifies father in
one language means mother in
another. In the Georgian language,
for instance, spoken in the mountains
between the Caspian and Black seas,
dada means mother, and mamma fa«
ther.
