The Silver Question is not likely to
receive much attention during tho pres

First of all a determinrd effort will be
made to have the trade dollar entirely
withdrawn from circulation. There is
a quiet but none the Ires effective snd
uteady agitation goiag on against it in
the Mercantile Exchangee aad other
cantrea of commercial life. It is at
best a nuisance. It was intended for
the 'hineserJspsneae and Houlb Ameri

go there but remained at home where it
was not a dollar but a great deal less.
The beat answer to the repeated
tauntg of Inactivity, and shirking of re

AW. Democrat :
While in Albany last Week attending
tbe Alliance, I received a caustic rebuke
for a breach of etiquette, f bad left
my hotel and waa on my way to tbe
court-house, when I noticed that one of
my fingers waa in deep mourning,
whereupon I drew my knife from my
iMM-ket and proceeded te remove tbe
obnoxious matter. On the opposite
side of the street, and coming toward
me, were four young I wish I could
say ladies women, walking in couples
with an interveining distance of per hai
thirty or forty yards. One of tboee be
hind called to one in freht and toh? her
to hurry and get her nails cleaned, and
to be careful and clean them good and
to clean them hereafter before she left
heme. And just sa I passed them she
aaid : "I wonder if be tumbled " There
were at least 6 fty person heard tbe
remark of tbe young woman, and,
while I was not injured by what she
asid, nay not even annoyal, it left the
impression with me tbst the young wo
men were either courtesans or tbst it is
only a queation f time when they
would be, for tbey are treading the
path that ends only in a life of shame.-
No lady would have used tbe language
she used under any circumstance, least
of all on tbe afreets, in tbe presence of,
and to, an entire stranger. I do not
write this for the purpose of gratifying
a petty malice, nor do I wish to cast
any reflectioaa on tbe ladi of Albany,
but it ia time the citizens of your place
bad their attention called to tbe beha
vior of audi women, and that tbey be
required to conduct themselves decently
while on the streets. Justice to your
Isdies requires that strangers abould be
treated courteously and that any wo
men who are allowed to perambulate
your streets, nee slang phrases snd
'rhiii' entiie strsogerr, are not calcu
lated to give the place . a good name
abroad. It may be ossible that tbe
young women I apeak of ! longed to
the school eaat of tbe court-house, snd
that they were only having, aa tbey
thought, a little innocent fun at my ex-
p -Me, and that tbey did not know tbey
were using expressions seldom heard
ftom a woman's lips oulsiJe of a house
of prostitution, snd never from the
Hug of a LAUY. If such ie the case,
will they allow me to suggeat, in a spir
it of friendliness, that hereafter tbey
conduct themselves as Isdies, remmber-J
ing that there is but one construction
men put on such behsvior, and, that is
construction which will msntle the
cheek of rnodestv with the blush of
shame. Very yoaivj ladies are some
times thoughtless, but they should nev-
erbe ao wheit thoughtlessness would
have a tendency to smirch their reputa
tion. If what I have written will be
tbe means of causing one of Oregon's
Ueautiful daughters to think before she
sfieaks I am well repaid for my trouble.

A favorite antidote for rattlesnake
poison in Mexico, ia a strong solution of
iodine in potassium iodide. Mr. H. II.
Croft has tested some of the poison it
self with this solution, and nnda that a
light brown amorphous precipitate is
formed, the iaaolubility of which ex
plains the beneficial action of the anti
dote. Wben iodine cannot be readily
obtained a solution of potassium iodide,
to which a few drops of ferric chloi ide
has been added can, perhajw, be used as
i an aatidote to snake poison.

It has recently been discovered by

Wben a freight train from Troy
reached Pownal, a few days since, the
engineer heard a tooeter crow, apjrar
ently under his engine. Upon imeeti
gation he found a game cock perched
upon the brake-beam of his engine with
as much apparent sang-froid as if he
rHad been on his own roost with his
family flock. His rooatership waa
taken from bis perilous perch and
placed in the caboose, where in due
time he arrived in Troy, where be bad
gone to roost. How this tweeter could
ride on a constantly jarring 1. rake-beam
for thirty-nine milee without beiog
thrown off by the janing and auction
of air under the engine is a mystery.
The domestic cat, so far aa Europe) is
concerned, is generally atipiosad to be

cuitus had existed for ages before our
ancestors dreamed of paying it that

wben a cat dies in an Egyptian home
the members of the bereaved family

Diodorous for the touching statement
that although Egyptians have been
known to eat their fellow-creatures dur

was ever heard of.
A New York restaurateur being
asked why it is considered so difficult to
eat two or even one quail a day f oa

to teed it every day for thirty daya on
a pound or two of sawdust, you wouldn't
wonder if it lehelled, would you t No.
Well, quail and the white meat of all
birds is very much like sawdust. It's
dry ; it's indigestible. It lies there on
the stomach, and of comae tbe stomach
doesn't like it, and when ou want to
add more to it tbe stomach is very apt
to rebel and make you aick. Yeu may
try to coax that itu(Krtaut functionary
with bribes of pepsiu and that sort of
thing, but there is a limit to even that.
