Greenbacks for Gold"The TariffBill "
England and the Boundary"More

Battle Ships"New York after the
Convention,

(From our Regular Correspondent.)

Wasuineton, D.C., Jany. 8, T96.
President Cleveland may or may not
have felt complimented when Senator
Sherman offered a resolution providing
that when greenbacks or U. S. Treas-
ury notes are redeemed for gold. they
shall not be reissued except for gold,
but that resolution and a speech made
in its favor by Mr. Sherman have been
the most sensational occurrences of the
week in Congress. It will be remem-
bered that when Pr esident Cleveland in
his annual messagé.and Secretary Car-
lisle in his annual repcrt recommended
the retirement of the greenbacks and
Treasury notes as the best remedy for
our financial troubles Senator Sherman
was foremost among those republicans
who hooted at the idea... Now Senator
Shermam offers a resolution which, if it
became a law, would probably result in
retiring the greenbacks and Treasury
notes, although he claims that it
wouldnTt, The basis for his claim is
not, however, a very substantial one.
He figures that the law would work like
the assurance of a bank cashier toa
frightened depositor, that he could have
his money if he wantedit; and that
those who have been presenting these
notes for redemption in gold will stop as
soon as they, know that the notes so
presented will not be again paid out for
them to present again.

The scrambling among those who
want more: of the protection pork than
the tariff bill which the House passed
gives them has not been equalled since
the McKinley bill was being made up.
It has been and is making life miserable
for the republican members of the
Senate Finénce committee, which is
now trying to decide in what shape the
bill is to be reported back to the Sen-
ate. The greed of those seeking pro-
tection for special lines, at the expense
of everybody else, would make tue
scramble sutficiently disagreeable, but
Presidential politics haye also been
brought into it, The McKinleyites de-
clare that the bill as passed by the
House is in the interest of ReedTs can-
didaey, and that they will have more Me-
Kinleyism put into it, or
the reason why it isnTt done.
Democrats are not taking
interest in the bill, althowgh the neurer
it gets to McKinleyism the better it
will suit them; they believe that the
country: is as str rongly opposed to Me-
Kinleyism n now as.it was when it clect-
led the Democratic House of the fifty-
second Congress and when it elected

Leap Year. |
Why is it called leap year? It is
because the Julian calendar, in which
the custom of adding a day to Febru-
ary every tourth year .was introduced,
provided that the additional day should
be inserted not at the end of the
month, but six days earlier, forming
a second sixth day. Hence arose the
word bis extile, which is still retained
as the name of the year in which the
additional day is inserted, though now
it is added at the end of the month.
~The name leap year refers to. the fact
thut fora year after the insertion of
the addiional day, each date ¢omes
two days Tater in the week flan it
came the previous year, instead - of on
the following day of the week, as in
ordinary. years, The dates: may be
said: to leap over aday, and hence the
miume. ,

The Cuban insurgents are at least
holding their own; but no one can
foresee the issue-of the struggle.
American capital in Cuba has suf-

war; and a syudicate of Americans has
proposed to loan the Insurgent Repub-
lic $15,000, 000 in gold for $45,000,000
in bonds of that doubtful government,
If this proposition should be accepted,
it would hasten the end of the war, as
one of the conditions is that war be
stopped, Victorious oor not, within a
year. Fifteen million dollars would be
a vast, addition to the resources of the
insurgents, and of a charactér that they
most need.

My office
windows, I remember, looked out
directly upon the principal business
street of the place and the, entrance
to the Union depot, the street cross-

feet from the great arched station
entrance. Every hour or two New
York and Boston express trains were
arriving and departing, and it was
always an interesting sight the day
before Thanksgiving, when every
train was running in two or three|
sections, and each one drawn by two
locoraotives, loaded down with. pas-
sengers anxious to get to the old
farm in time for the Thanksgiving
dinner.

~One snowy, nateoing day I sat

in from Boston, for somehow I
kind of smelled danger, asa railroad
man often does, I knew the train
was a heavy one, the rails slippery
and that before it struck the cross-
ing. it came down a heavy grade four
miles long. Ouf at the other end of
the depot was a great long bridge
carrying the train off to the west,
and also the tracks branching south
to New York. On both these tracks
stood huge locomotives blowing. off
steam and seemingly in haste to
couple on to the coming train, which
was destined for both the south and
west, and burry it off to its dostina-

short, that train got the best of the
engineer that day, owing to some
defect in the airbrakes, and there
was one of the most hair raising
train runaways I guess I will ever
witness. A mile up the grade I
heard old Seth Mayoor, the engineer,
making old No. 104. whistle for
brakes in a way that made me turn
cold. Almost at the same time the
train came tearing. down over the
street crossing and into the depot,
going 60 miles an our, and I ro-
member to this day and always will
how cool Mayoor. looked»as he dash-
ed by, blowing his whistle for dear
life as a warning to ih him a clear
track.

oThat they woul even. get those
engines at the other end of the sta-
tion out of the way.I thought was
an impossibility, but they did.T There
were cool_men aboutithat place that
day, and No. 104Ts great Crawford
whistle had given the warning. The
switches were hastily set straight
on to the bridge, and away dashed
the waiting engine in. a race to got
out of the way of the runaway train.
It was a close shave, and it unnerv-
ed me for a week, but. luck saved
the day.

~That runaway ran four miles be-
fore it stopped, and- the engineer

Animals Which Vary the Monotony of Ex»

istence For Jack Tar. -

Three things, writes a naval-con- |

tributor, there are which do more
than anything else fo lighten the

borne. by Jack Tar, says the West-
minster Gazette. These three are
grog, the hornpipe and a pet animal,

solace of the three. ~There is scarce.

ly a vessel afloat, from one of. our |
| line of battleships down to a canal: |

boat, that has not a two or four foot-
ed peton béard, Sailors proverbially
make pets of almost any animal
they are shipmates with"elephants,
bears, shéep, goats, monkeys, ga-
zelles and raccoons among the mam-
malia, bantam cocks, parrots, cock-
atoos, magpies and sea gulls among
bipeds, and even inhabitants of the
oeean; such as seals and turtle, have
been ~laid under contribution to pro-
vide amusement for our bluejackets!
An elephant seems ~~a large or-
derTT as a sailorTs pet aboard ship,
but who of the senior naval officers
does not remember the vessel called

by the nickname of H. M. 8. Mo-|

nagerie, and the elephant on board
of that paddle wheel frigate when
they were on the Indian station.
The elephant was regularly stationed
and harnessed to the jib halyards,
and when the order was given to
oMake all plain sail,�T he made a tri-
umphant bellow. and ran along the
waist until the pipe. was sounded to
~Belay !TT. to the delonda est Car-
thago of any toes that got into his
way !

Admiral Sir G. W"" told me
that:when he commanded an Indian
troopship a full grown tiger was em-
barked for passage to Ungland as a
present from some Indian prince to
the queen. It was a magnificent
animal, and for many years after-
ward was exhibited at the zoological
gardens. Qne morning, about 5:30,
the captain was awakened by a mes-
senger, who. said, ~Please sir, the
tiger has broken loose!T His reply
was, ~~Lock my cabin door, and call
mo when beTs in his cavo actin.� It
appears that in cleaning the cage,
tha men being then washing decks,
the door of the cage had been un-

bluejackets forward ranning up the
rigging and the soldiers taking to
the hammock nettingsand the burri-
cane deck. The tiger ran aft; the
men had not heard of its escape and
were throwing buckets of water
about. The scene appeared to puzzle
the tiger. Atany rate,an old quarter-
master realized the situation, and
taking his lantern flashed it full in
tho face of the tiger. He then took
the animal by the soruff of the neck,
ran it forward toits Gage and slam-
med and fastened the door ina jiffy.

Here is.ancther anecdote of a real
pet, this time in the same ship.
There are several officers now alive
who can vouch for the truth of this
story. Tho first lieytenant had a
very jolly little monkey, quite a

before dinner, on a guest night, the
ship being in harbor, the first lieu-
tenant went into his cabin with the

choice Havana cigars rather hastily,

the parts of which he threw over-
board out of his cabin port. Then,
filling his cigar case, as dinner was
already on the table, he left the box
on the table and burried to mess,

It had been the custom for his
monkey to follow himT and wait by
the table for a morsel of food now
and again,. This evening, after some
little time had elapsed, and the
monkey did not appear, his owner,
excusing himself for a minute, ran
back to bis cabin to see what his pet

_ A Contrast.

About the warmést~place we found
this morning was in GormanTs tobacco
factory. He had the steam turned on
which made the interior of the building
feél like summer time, while the mois-
ture from the tobacco formed in great
icicles that hung on the outside of the
windows.

Thick Darkness.

A night was never darker (save the
one in Egypt) than the early hours of
Friday, night and there wasnTt a street
lamp anywhere to give a ray of light.
People who had to be out tumbled over
each other, run on fences, fell in ditches,
butted against trees, and got mixed up
generally. It wasabadtime. Several
just had to wait for the moon to rise so
they could see how to get home.
