And mother-song of long-gone years,
And baby joys and children tears,
And youthful hones, and youthful fears,
Ben tne cows come oomc.
With ringle, rangle, ringle,
By twos and three? and single, ,
The cows are coming home;
Through the violet air we see the town.

And the hills are growing browm ;

The Loss of Our Game.
In a countrv where evenr man and
boy may carry a grin aiijditeep a dog if
he wishes to, and 'where people gener
ally little heed wlkoshoots, or what is
shot, whetherthe laws are obeyed or
broken, vjaa wonder is it that wild
birds and beasts disappear, and that
ourjiabtrkets are almost bare-of game in
seasons when it should b? cheap and
plenty? Game of all kinds is plentier
and cheaper all over England, Prance
and Germany, than it is nere. The
time may possible jcome when the right
to carry a f owling-pieee will be obtain
ed by paying a high license fee, when
the privilege of shooting over certain
districts, will be sold for a term of
years to the highest bidder, or disposed
of at annual .rental. Should that time
come, game will be abundant again.
Many townships or shool districts, if
they had the righjit and the will to en
force it, migbt i this way secure an
income sufficient jto pay all school ex
penses, and very hkety a goodl part of
the highway tax. ! As it is, f armefc-s could

mit the following:
j Gold and silver have been used as
money from the earliest ages. The
ratio of coinage between the two metals
Jias not substantially changed in 3,000
years, and when change has occurred it
has been the result of legislation and
but of temporary continuance. His
tory proves that gokl and silver com
bined have been sufficient as a basis of l
value ior the world through all the
Ages, and that either metal alone has
not been enough for the uses of labor
arid commerce; the demonetization of
either metal has invariably proved dis
astrous to the people of every nation
that has attempted the experiment.
Gold and silver derive their value
from natural causes the

decay or cnemicai enange, and mvisi-
feility into exact parts. Nature pro
duces them only in limited quantity,
and the utilization ofsuch production
i made at largeepense of discovery,
extSafction, separation from extraneous
substancesand reduction into conven
ient Jailion form. It is well estab
Kshedf that th e world's production of
ifold and silver had not kept pace with
the increase of population. The smal
ler production of gold makes it a con
venience as the higher expression of
value; the larger proportion of silver
production proclaims its univer
sality and its necessity in the smal
ler transactions of labor and commerce.
In nature they are found combined.
Since the beginning of commerce and
exchange among nations, their use has
been combined md inseparable; gold as
a higher expression of value for conven
ience of hoarding and storing to the
(rich; silver as a necessity in the wage of
tne laborer and tne daily purchase pi
the poor. '
The withdrawal of the one metal,
wholly or partially, must proportionally
increase the value of the other, and en
hance its purchasing power, thus inevi
tably depreciating the value of the
thing purchased, whether it be labor,
the .product of labor, or the product of
the soil.
Our Revolutionary war at its con
clusion left us a nation without credit
either at home or abroad. The army
was unpaid and the credit of the coun
try absolutely valueless. A metal dol
lar which -consisted of silver (because
gold .was almost unknown) had its
value regulated by the Taws of the sev
eral States. Washington had two
great objects in view; the first, to unite
in a National Government the States:
and the second to provide a policy by
which the credit of the young republic
(the first which had come into exist
ence for 3,000 years) should be equal to
the credit ot any other government on
the face of the earth. To this end he
sought the views of Thomas Jefferson,
the author of our Declaration of Inde
pendence: of James Madison, the father
of our Constitution ; of Alexander Ham
ilton, who had been his constant aid
and counsellor during the revolu
tionary period ; arid of other true
and tired men with whom Washington,
With rare sagacity, had surrounded
hiriiself.
These were the main objects that in
spired the adoption of the Federal Con
stitution. ,
: In 1792, among the first acts passed
by-Congress was one "establishing the
mint and regulating the coins of the
United States, providing for the coin-
age

precisely the same terms, viz:
- - A:
"Section
11. That it shall be -lawful for any
person or persons to bring to the said
mint gold and silver bullion in order to
their being coined, and that the bullion
30 brought shall be there assayed and
coined as speedily as may be after re
ceipt thereof, and that free of expense
to the person or persons by whom the
same shall have been brought." Thus
carefully did our fathers provide in ac
cordance with wise deductions from his
tory and the experience of all nations,
for the equal and free coinage of gold
and silver alike. Thus did the several
States grant to Congress the power "io
coin money and
thereof." It was
the Value
trust, and I
Congress, under the grant-so made, can-
refuse to execute the trust; and if
it does, tne trust so created, according
to all principles of law, becomes barren
and reverts to the original grantors, the
States.
Under this wise system of finance,
which provided for the nation, the "dol
lars of oar fathers," so much abused
and decried by the "silver-phobists,"
bur Government has prospered and
gained its place as the foremost people
of the globe; it has carried us through
the dire disasters and calamities of war;
it has achneved the noble victories of
peace; helped us to a speedy resumption
of specie payment after temporary sus
pension; and enaoled us to enter
upon the work of payment of the na
tional debt and reduction of national
interest.
In 1873, without the wish or knowl
edge of the people of the United States,
silver was practically demonetized.
This was done by a trick of legislation
and revision. The act of February 12,
1873, when passed., was not read, except
by its title; in no section of the act
was it specially pointed out or intimat
ed that the effect would be to change
the standard of values from gold and
silver to goild alone. But in June,
1874, when Congress enacted as a code
of laws what are called "The Revised
Statutes of the United States," there
was inserted a section which had no
sanction in any existing law of Con
gress. It stands as section 3586, and
reads as follows: "The silver coin of
the United States shall be legal tender
at their nominal Value for any amount
not exceeding five dollars in any one
payment.1'
This section was thus surreptitiously
introduced, arid accomplished the de
monetization of silver (except for
piinor payments) by a form of express
8ion studiously calculated to escape the
observation ot members o
borne time; elapsed Derore the country
was aware of trie foarfia that had been
committed upanrfits financial policy,
The effectvihereof", froni, various causes
did npt-mmediately appear, but the
agitanon and interest of the people
when advised resulted in the passage of
- X l
the Bland bill or actof Congress passed
February 12, 138, entitled, "An act to
authorize ; the coinage of the standard
dolhir and to restore its legal-tender
charactetJ" The act was passed in
obedience; to tlie demands of the people
and with intent to restore silver to its
ancient, rightful, and constitutional
standard. ; and to clothe with all its
prior function the "dollar of our
fathers."
The influences of Wall street and
other money centers were brought tobear
upon the financial officers of the Gov
ernment; and studied and persistent
evasions of the provisions of the law
followed. Refusal by the Secretary of
the Treasury to purchase and coin the
maximum amount prescribed by the
provisions of the act, was supplemented
by his refusal to settle clearing-house
balances, and Government obligations
without discrimination in gold and sil
ver, or their representatives in certifi
cates; and thus the will of the people
lias been thwarted and the laws of
the Unitexl States, have been prac
tically nullified by only partial exe
cution. Therefore, believing that the struc
ture of this Government rests upon the
people; that the products of its soil, and
its manufactures, with the labor of its
masses, forth its wealth and permanent
foundations; and knowing that hasty,
ill-considered and unwise legislation
has caused disturbances, uncertainty,
and contraction of values and money,
whereby agricultural pursuits and
manufacturing interests are depressed;
trade and eommerce are languishing,
or stagnant; labor is unemployed or
unpaid; all American industries have
been cramped, and business has been
generally paralyzed, while the partial
demonetization of 1 silver has appre
ciated, and is constantly enhancing the
value of notbs, bonds, mortgages and
other fixed edpital; and believing in the
same free and equal coinage of gold ami
silver, about which Washington, Jef
ferson, and Hamilton were so solici
lious : I .
We, the national committee of th

Among
the Bravest aacl Best
Rough fellows of the olden time!
There is where the Bret Harte idea
crop out. The fellows of the olden
time were not rough old fellows, but
on the contrary, those old fellows who
came here first were the bravest and
most chivalrous men on earth. They
would not have started to come had
they not been brave. And very many
of them were men of education and
well read (not cultivated as things go
now), although sometimes some of
those gentlemen did not wear fine
clothes.
William M. Stewart, whacking a bull
team up in these mountains, was a man
of as much brains, courtesy and bra
very as when he sat in the United
Statfes Senate. John Bigler, when roll
ing barrells on the Sacramento levee,
was as good a man as when John Big
ler was governor of California; John
R. McConiioll, when he had on one old
boot and one old shoe and was ragged as
to the rear end of his trowers, and while
he was "totin" shakes to the top of a
cabip in Nevada City, was then as fine
a scholar as the State can boast of to
day,,and he was as learned, polite and
as considerate then as when he after
ward graced the State's office of attorney-general.
We could specify many other instan
ces of learned men working at day's
work in oldentiuies. The gulches in
this country were filled with scholars
and gentlemen who were lighting for
fortune with picks and shovels. Those
men had neither the manners nor the
language attributed to them by the
writer of alleged California stories.

How a Horse Feeds.
Something may be learned by observ
ing how a horse picks up his feed, either
in grazing or when fed in the stable.
One will have a very good idea of the
sensitiveness of the upper lip, and how
cleverly the horse gathers in the choice
herbage or hay, and rejects the waste.
This mobile, prehensile feeling, sep
arates the selected food from that which
is rejected. The horse c;innot see the
herbage exactly under his mouth, but
the lips pushes away the undesirable
food, and gathers with the greatest
precision, that which is selected frcin
the rest. In a weedy pasture, this in
stinct of the lip is brought into action
in a most peculiar and interesting
manner, and exhibits in a striking
degree, the exquisite sensitiveness of the
unicate nerves oi this organ. Une who
nasi seen this action of the ip, and
realizes the great sensitiveness of it,
will never permit himself to practice
the excessive cruelty of putting a twitch
about a horse's upper lip for any pur
pose, for the torture of it must be very
ineat indeed.
A Charm Against Disease.
Many people fall ill of a disease sim
ply through fear of it. The imagina
tion has a powerful influence on the
human body. One can very easily im
agine himself to be catching a cold, and
will really catch a cold at the sight of
an open window, when if he did not
know the window was open, or was
not afraid of its effects, he would es
cape the cold. Doctors understand this
secret, but they do not impart it to their
patients. Most invalids, real or sup
posed, would be angry if a physician
would say to them, "nothing ails vci
only think so." They prefer to thm.r
themselves sick, and in time they reallv j

The Silver Dollar.
All debts are payable in dollars, arid
the first dollar known to the American
people was the silver coin of that name.
In contained 412i grains of pure sil

and it contains the same amount now f
no more, no less. And there has not
been an hour since 1785, one hundred
jears ago, when these silver dollars
were not a full legal tender for all ob
ligations. Indeed, it could not have
been otherwise; for from 1785 to 1849,
a period of sixty four years, silver dol
lars were the only dollars in existence.

The Wealth of Chili.
The world's supply of nitrate of soda
and uano has been obtained frona the
arid rainless west coast regions of South
America. Along' the southern coast
of Peru are a series of rocky, desolate
islands on which no rain ever falls and
only the gentlest breezes sweep. There
are at present, as there have been for
centuries, myriads of sec -birds along
the coast, and they, with thousands of
sea lions, live, breed and die upon these
islands. Guaro is a mixture of the
excrement of these seals and birds, the
decomposed bodies of both andT the
bones of the fishes which have been
their food.
These deposits have been
accumu-
fating for centuries and in many places
are hundreds of feet deep, bakei into a
solid mass by the tropical sun. These
masses of guano were worked by the
Peruvian Government from .184(5, when
tHeir value as fertilizers bjcame under-
when a friend who the United States amounted to millions frl I I ;
of tons, valued at between $20,000,000
and $30,000,000, all above the expense
of working being clear profit. This
should have enriched Peru, but it mere-
ly enriched her governing classes,
During the war the Chilians seized the
islands arid annexed them to Chili,
There nave been no exports of guano
since, but the Chilian Government is
making preparations to resume the
shipments, and it will probably be in
1 the market again next
year. liostMi

Uncle Dick Saaltcf says: Fifty years
ago I had a running nicer on my leg which
refused to heal tinder any treatment. In
18531 went to California and remained
eighteen months, and in 1873 1 visited Hot
Springs, Ark., remainins three months, but
was not cured. Amputation was-discussed,
but Iconcluded to make one more effort
I eommencot taking the B. B. B. about ifa
week agl). The Fifty-year ol sore
my lg is healing rapidly, and yesterday
walked about fifteen miles fishing and
hunting without any pain, and before
usinJjlhc B. B. B.I could not walk exceed
ing half a mile. I sleep soundly at nigh
for tlj first time in many years. To think
that fix bottles have done me mors good
than pot Springs, eighteen months in Cal
ifornia, besides an immense amount of med
ici lies and eight or ten first class physicians,
will convince any man on earth that it is a
wonderful blood medicine. It has also
cured! me of catarrh.
There is a lady living here, Mr?.- who
ha- had catarrh for many, many years. X
have Juiown she had it for fifteen or twen
ty yers, and my father once doctored her,
rs hd was then a tenant on our place. For
the last two and a lit. If years she has been
bedridden, the catarrh or cancer (the nu
merous hvsuians have never decided
which) daring her two years and a half in
the led, had eaten all! the roof of her
mouth out. She was so offensive no
could' stay in the room; she could not
anything, but could swallow soup if it was
strain- (1. She gave up to die, and came so
near perishing all thought she would die
Her son bought the B. B. B. and she used
scvcrfl bottles, which effected an- eutir
cure.? She ia novr vrc and hearty. I have
not exaggerated on particle, T tm
