selves and our posterity,” did, among
its first important statutes, decree it
supremely wise to secure bi-metallism
for legal-tender money.
The wisdom of government is ever
found in the use made of its resources.
That government is wisest which re-
serves for times of peril forces of pro-
tection and of strength. Confidence is
most assured when conscious that latent
power exists, The use of paper as ma-
terial for coining money may in the fu-
ture, as in the past, rest with the neces-
sities of public welfare or emergencies
of peril ; but, whatever the raw material
of currency shall be, the fluctuation of
values, within our domain, can be pre-
vented only by making every variety a
full legal tender; for then only can we
feel that we have in substance but one
currency, and then only assured of the
approach ta financial tranquility.
JAMES MILLIKEN.
Bellefonte, Pa., May, 1391.
THE THOUGHT IN THE MINDS OF THE
FRAMERS OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Mr. Milliken would remind those
readers, not familiar with the fact, that
the legal authority he quotes, in his pub-
lication, is not only a recognized but a
standard authority of the Supreme Court
of the United States on all questions of
political economy. “Timothy Farrar”
was the law partner of Daniel Webster.
He would also point out that the
framers of the Constitution,familiar with
Continental paper money, nevertheless,
conferred upon Congress unlimited pow-
er in [the création of money; and that
in conterring upon Congress the power
‘to borrow money on the credit of the
United States” Congress was not limited
to borrow only gold and silver money,
nor even confined to money of its own
creation : But when restricting the states,
as to money, the Constitution defines
specifically that “no state shall * * #
make anything but gold and silver coin
a tender in payment ot debts,” and this:
Because the power to create anything
else than gold and silver into money
had, in forerunning provision, been con-
ferred, in privilege, upon Congress, and
conferred upon Congress clearly that
“the use of paper as material for coin-
ing money might rest with the necessi-
ties of public welfare or emergencies of
peril,” and be exclusively and judicious-
ly issued for the benefit of a national
government and the preservation of a
nation.
No part of this seemed, to the author,
admissable in a paper discussing only
the creation, function, and value of
money, under the established laws of
our country.

Instantaneous Deaths in Battle.
The fact that a man is down and out
of the fight is about all that friend or
foe can take account of for the time be-
ing. It is reasonable to suppose, how-
ever, that some deaths are instantaneous,
the men being literally killed in action.
One such case 1 had an opportunity to
study with unusual care at Fort Has-
kell, in the Fort Stedman battle, in
front of Petersburg. The action there
was defensive on our part, the scene
very small and the fight prolonged,
hence many things were observed that
would escape notice on an open field.
At one time, just in front of me, as I
looked toward the enemy, there was a
soldier of our garrison firing his musket
from a gun staging, that raised his head
and shoulders above the parapet. He
was the oldest man I eversaw in battle,
and for that reason, doubtless, I observ-
ed him closely. His hair was white
and his form had reached the stage of
unsteadiness, He fired very slowly, and
after each shot he would scan the en-
emy’s lines as though watching the re-
sult of his last ball or spying outa tar-
get for the next.
Finally when I had my attention al-
most wholly on bim he half turned to
reload, and I saw his cap fly off smartly
without any visible help, and the large
and bony frame shrunk together and
sank down into a heap. There was no
spasm, no agitation, whatever. Ttseem-
ed to me that he simply sat down slowly
until he rested on his legs bent under
the body, his head going down to his
knees or to the trail of the cannon. A
little stream of blood ran from his fore-
head and made a pool on the plank, and
this blood reached the plank about the
time that his frame settled down mo-
tionless.
From the time that his hat flew off
until the blood appeared on the staging
and the motionless body caused me to
say, “He is dead,” could not have been
more than thirty seconds, and probably
was about twenty. The fatal ball had
enetrated the left temple, or near it.
his was the only case that I ever saw
where a man was killed “so quickly
that be never knew what hit him,” as
the saying is.—New York Sun.

A Fair Exchange.
The day after the battle of Bull Run
(July 22, 1861,) while burial parties
were busy at their then unaccustomed
work, Mike Flaherty, a member of the |
Second S. C. V., wandered away from
his comrades, and while strolling
through the woods came upen a Yank,
cold and stiff, with a new pair of shoes
on his feet. Now, Mike's shoes were
fellow looked long and wistfully at the
new brogans.
Finally he sat him down, untied the
strings with mary a furtive glance at
the dead man's face, pulled off the shoes
and tried them on. They fitted perfect-
ly, and Mike sat eyeing them regretful-
lv. Suddenly a brilliant idea flashed
into Mike's brain.
was done. The old shoes took the
place of the new, and were securely tied
on the dead man’s feet, and Mike, with
along drawn sigh, said in a half apolo-
getic manner, “Them’s plinty good
enough tor where you're gowin.”’

The Youngest Great Grand Mother.
The wife of Henry XK. Updegrave,
who keeps a hotel at Tower City, Penn.,
is probably the youngest great-grand.
mother in the whole United States. She
lacks over three months of being forty-
eicht, having been born on Aug. 11.
1843,near Gratztown, Dauphin County,
Her distinction is due to the fact that
not only she but her eldest daughter,
and 1n turn her granddaughter, married
unusually young in life. Mrs. Upde-
grave herself was married when only
thirteen to Emanuel Shoffstall, by
whom she had eight children. The eld-
est of these was born a year after her
mother’s marriage, and was named Mar-
tha. She at the age of fifteen married
Jonathan Rumberger. Within a year
Martha had a daughter, whom she
christened Maggie. A year ago Maggie,
who was then sixteen, married Daniel
Messner, and to this pair a son has
just been born. Emanuel Shoffstall
died in 1887, and recently the widow
married Landlord Updegrave. At thir-
ty she was a grandmother, and now as a
great-grandmother at forty-seven is still
remarkably comely in feature and grace-
ful in figure, with glossy raven hairand
sparkling biack eyes, she wears her
great-grandmotherly honors with be-
coming modesty.
Death of Congressman Houck.
K~oxvILLE, Tenn., May 25.—Judge
L. C. Houck, representative in congress
from the Second Tennessee district, died
this morning. Yesterday afternoon he
went to get a prescription filled, The
druggist compounded it for him and set
it down in a glass near another contain-
ing a strong solution of arsenic which he
took by mistake. Antidotes were
promptly administered and by 10 o’clock
last night he was so well that nothing
was said about the circumstance except
to a few friends. He slept through the
night and died this morning suddenly.
He had heart disease, and the poison and
excitement affected that organ and was
the cause of his death.
A ERAT NEO
The Czar of Russia is a perfect
specimen of physical manhood. He is
more than six feet tall and has the
shoulders, arms, and thighs of an ath-
lete. So great is the strength of his
hands that he can twist a horseshoe with
ease. He is a ‘magnificent horseman, a
thoroughly trained soldier, and an ac-
complished linguist, speaking seven
modern languages beside Russian. He
works hard and is out of bed trom 6 in
the morning till 10 at night.
OxE "Fact, Is worth a column of
rhetoric, said an American statesman.
It is a fact, established by the testimony
of thousands of people, tbat Hood's
Sarsaparilia does cure scrofula, salt
rheum, and other diseases or affections
arising from impure state or low condi-
tion of the blood. It also overcomes
that tired feeling, creates a good appe-
tite, and gives strength to every part of
the system. Try it.
——The Missionary Herald has an
article showing how much the United
States has done to promote the slave
trade and the liquor traffic in Africa. It
appears that about 275,000 gallons of
distilled liquors were withdrawn from

for exportation to five ports in Africa,
