GIRa of Terr Poor Children.
The children in the free kindergarten
in West Fifty-fourth street received an
object lesson in charity on Thanksgiving
day. Most of these children are of poor
parentage, some of them even destitute.
A day or two before Thanksgiving day
their teachers talked to them in a kindly
way about the real purpose and spirit of
the day. They had nurtured the idea
that it was a feast day, and that they
ought to have a nice dinner in the
schooL The teachers told them that
they could best manifest their thankful,
ness for the blessings they enjoyed by
contributing some little gift to make
others,-poorer than themselves, happy.
There was no urging that the children
should give, but merely the suggestion.
On Thanksgiving day an autumn festi
val was held at the free kindergarten,
and one of its most interesting and beau
tiful features was the offeringfof gifts
for the poor by these poor children.
They marched in procession around a
large table and deposited their little
tokens.
. One very small boy brought a big red
apple, another a small paper of candy,
still another a much worn picture book,
and a fourth laid a set of jackstones on
the table. But it was the offering of a
poorly clad and pale faced little girl that
touched the hearts of the observers most

the silver question becoming a direct
issue in the next presidential campaign.
"Representative Springer of Illinois,
Senator Carlisle of Kentucky, Senator
Palmer of Illinois and Representative
O'Neil of Massachusetts are in favor of
relegating the question to an interna
tional congress which they propose to
hold in Chicago in 1S63.' The object of
the congress would lie to formulate, sub
ject to the approval of the countries
represented, a uniform monetary eys
tem'and lis the relations which gold and
silver should bear to each other. It
cannot be denied that an international
agreement would be the best settlement
of the silver question but it s one thing
' to call a convention and quite another
to get it to agree to anything that would
be satisfactory to the free silver men.
This effort to shelve the silver question
will be disappointing to the advocates
ot tree stiver who are entitled to expect
something more definite from the dem
ocracy, after all the denounciations thev
have hciied on the party whom they
charge with having demonetized silver
in 1873. It is even now apparent that
the scheme will meet with better oppo
anion oy sonic of the most prominent
democrats. Bland is said to oppose
and delay m silver legislation and Rep-
resentativc Corlbertson of Texas, has no
hesitation m saying that the proposition
" is a betrayal of the interests of the peo
ple to me money power ot Wall street
. Senator Chelton of Texas thinks tha'
the only manly way for the democrats
to deal with the silver question is to
pass aii nhuuuted coinage law and put
it to the test of experience. On the
other hand Senator Sherman voices the
" sentiments of many republicans when
ne says: "ineonly way to settle the
silver question is to settle it. Wo have to
. face it and any bills proposing to relegate
. . . . .

An effort will be made during lhe

free system in federal offices and to place
deputy marshals and other court officials
n a salary. It is held that the fee
system results in much hardships
through these officials straining the law
for the purpose of making cases "in the
fully nurtured home plant. There were
other more pretentions and valuable
gifts, and all were gathered up and dis
tributed among the poor patients in the

The Alligator Played 'Possum. -
An alligator that played 'possum came
near doing damage to some young, men
near Millen Monday. Van Tyler, of
this place, together with Messrs. Apple
white and DeLoach, of Millen, had been
out to the river hunting. They had killed
a 'gator about seven feet long, and"
putting him in the wagon were bringing
him to the town. Van, who was sitting
near the middle of the wagon, began to
triumph over his fallen enemy by con
temptuously kicking him in the side.
Then a thing happened that was done so
quick the boys can't explain it. There
was a rush, a snap, a yell, and Van went
out the wagon head foremost, and leav
ing, as a souvenir a part of his pants
hanging on the 'gator's teeth.
The other boys woke no to iha im
portance of hasty action, but DeLoach
took a Uttle too much time in getting
ready for an old fashioned headfore

A man fell against the cask and
started it rolling. A second later it was
making great, bonnds through the air
and covering twenty feet of street at a
single flight. People seeing the danger
shouted to those down the street to get
out of the way. Broadway was eleared
at a single bound, and the cask narrowly
missed crushing a laundry wagon into
splinters. On it went at a Palo Alto
speed, scattering-people right and left.
A Union street cable car was stopped in
time to prevent a collision. The running
cask evidently meant mischief, -and, ap
parently to prove the superiority of wine
over water, it headed for Dr Cogswell's
fountain on Kearny street and Mont
gomery avenue. .
A bundle that a frightened pedestrian
dropped turned the cask aside so that it
barely missed the cold water resort; j

shelves., ' . :
At last the cask was stopped near
Jackson street by colliding with a hitch

claimed the cask for the damage to his'

that it was better to stay where he was1

What is to be done when a tiah which

does not wiuh to catch, perversely insists

J was then with a sigh of sincere and nn-
leigned relief that the angler saw a
hooked salmon after a bit of magnificent
play break away with the hook and
parted leader.
: Bnt satisfaction was changed to dis
may when the leaping fish came with
one grand vault after another directly
for the boat, and at last lay stunned and
helpless in the canoe. Mr. Gregory
promptly solved the problem by regain

into its element, there, like the patriotic
orator, to sink or swim, live or die, sur
