HUMBER 33:
A WIFE’S HELP.
• J “jj>sfl hard rub to get along little wife,
isn’t it?" said Gerald May, as lie closed
his account book and looked somewhat
ruefully at a solitary $10 bill which was
all that remained of^ his month’s salary
after the housekeeping bills were settled
and the rent paid, and the outstanding
accounts balanced up satisfactorily.
JIable May was kneeling on the
hearth-rug toasting a piece of bread-for
her husband’s sapper.
She turned round, with , cheeks flush
ed by the firelight and'rosy lips apart.
“Oh, Gerald,” said she, “I do try so
hard to be econoinical.”
“Of course you do little chick,” said
Gerald leaning over to captdre one par
ticular curl of reddish brown hair which
V as drooping in spirals of gold over the
fair forehead and giving it an affection
ate little twitch “Don’t I know that
without you telling me?’?
“But Jewish I could help you,” cried
out Mabel. “Oh. I wish I knew of any
way to earn money myself.”
Gerald . May Jpofcefl, at her with an
amused smile.
"My dear,” he said, “one would as
epon expect an oversized doll to earn
money."
“Otlier women do,” said Mabel, crit
ically curveying tli9 slice of. bread to
make sure that it was artistically brown
on both sides.
“But you are such a child,,
“I am two and twenty’,” said Mabel
solemly.
“Nonsouse!’-’ said Gerald.— “What
could yo do to earn money?”
Mabel colored a. little lat the depreca
tory tone of the words.
“Gerald”, said she, “I do wish you
would treat me more like, a woman and
less like a child.—Don’t you suppose
that I have as much talent a3 the rest
of my sex?”
Gerald laughed good-humoredly.
“Pour out the tea, dear,” said he,
“Before you go on rhapsodizing. Of
course I know you are a dear little puss
and can make an . omelette or a shirt
with any woman in Christendom,
but you cau’t write a stirring book nor
paint a grand picture.”
“Of course I dont aspire to any such
greatness as that,” said Mabel, impa
tiently, “but I can sing.”
“You’ve got a nice little voice
enough,” said her husband, “for the.
parlor, but ns to making money out of
it, I hardly think you’ll find it easy.”
• “You don’t thick I cun do anything,”
cried Mabel, half indignantly. “Only
because I am a woman,”
“Some women can drive fate single-
handed.”said 'Gerald May. sipping his
tea with provoking nonchalance; “but
yon’re not one of the sort, my dear.
But long after Gerald had commenced
his evening "avocation of copying law
papers, by which' pursuit he added a
slender sum to the income which would
which would otherwise have been quite
insufficient for even the slender wants
of the young married pair, Mabel sat
with folded hands gazing into the coals,
as if stye oould read there some clue to
the problem of her life.
"Only ten dollars left after our bills
are all settled,” said Mabel to herself.
"Oh, dear,,this isn’t the way to get
rich, We must make a little mors mom
ey some howl I can’t write lo ve stories
and poetry, and I won’t sew for starva
tion prices, and I don’t see my way
clear to being a shop-girl, eyen if any
body would employ me because there’s
dear old Gerald to be looked after and
be kept comfortable.—But I do think 1
could*sing if only I obtained a chance.
M. Martell, of school, used to say I had
a good soprano. I’ll ask Mrs. Lacy to
let me practice a little . on her piano,
and then I’ll try for my fortune. Ger
ald would say that it was all nonsense^
but then I don’t menu to ask Gerald’s
advice.”
And three or four weeks aftetwards,
when Mrs. May presented herself trem
bling and fluttering, before Signor Sev-
ay, that musical autocrat viewed her
with favorable eyes through an immense
Pair of tortoise-shell eye-glasses.
"You advertise for a soprano, sir,”
said Mabel, turning carmine and white
by turns. '
"Certainly, mndarue, I did,” said the
aignor, “for ze choir of St. Eudocia.”
will,for ofall musical committees are ze
capricious—we will give you ze zalary
o.f four hundred dollars ze year.' I
plaz ze organ; I lead ze choir, when it
will be led at all,” with a comical shrug
of ibis shoulders, ‘‘and I shall you most
cordially recommend.”
Mabel May tripped home as if her
light feet were flying over rose-colored
clouds instead of muddy March pave
ments. Why that was almost as much
as,Me&rs. Stint & Scrape paid Gerald
for his drudgery—four hundred dol
lars.
It would, nearly double their little in
come at once. and enable them to lay
something by for the rainy day that
comes to every one . sooner or Later.
It was late one Sunday night, when
Gerald sat yawning before his solitary
fire.
Mabel had been spending the day
and evening with a friend—or at least
so she said—and Gerald was beginning
to realize how lonely home was with
out is pervading spirit.
At length the door opened and Mabel
came in, rosy and dimpled, and wrapped
in a huge shawl.
“Have you been very lonesome my
dear?” shefsaid radiantly.
“I’ve felt just exactly like Eobinson
Crusoe on his deserted island,” said
Gerald with a grimace. “And what
sort’of a day have you spent little wo
man?”
“Oh, pleasant enough,” evasively.
, ‘Butr tell me, Gerald, how have you
whiled away the time?”
I’ve been to a fashionable church,”
said Mr. May, “St Eudocia’s, and I
must take you there, Mabel, to hear the
music. Why, its equal to an oratorio.
The tears came out of my eyes as I lis
tened; it seemed as itmy soul was float
ing up and up on the current divine of
melody.”
‘Was it very fine?”
Mrs. May’s face was turned away
she was fastening a loose button on
her boot.
The finest soprano I have ever
heard,” cried Gerald, enthusiastically.
You must listen to her Mabel.
The young wife turned to him with
brimming eyes and cheeks suffused with
crimson.
“Gerald,” said she “I must tell yoaa
secret. I too was at St. Eudocia’s
Church this morning.”
And yon heard that delicious sopra
no?” he asked.”
Yes—no—I don’t know whether I
did or not, Gerald,” flinging her arms
around his neck. “I was the Soprano
at St, Endocia’s. Oil, Gerald, forgive
me for keeping you in ignorance so
long but I dared not tell you until I
knew positively that I should either
succeed or fail, and, Tieaven be praised!
I have succeeded.”
Gerald’s eyes, too, were full in spite
of his assumed stoicism.
“My little darliug,”* ho whispered,
“And I suppose they pay you some
trifling solary?”
“Four hundred dollars a year Ger
ald,” she answered, with innocent tri-
triumph.
“What!” he involuntary exclaimed.
That’s something worth having. Why,
you must be a genious, little
wife.”
“We can save a little money now,
dear,” she said, lightly ; “and I can hire
a piano to practice with, and—and—oh,
Gerald, I atu so happy!”
For Mabel May had at last succeeded
in attaining the goal of her feminine am
bition, andi she wouldn’t have called
England’s queen her aunt that night.
THE BI-METALLIC STANDARD.
Our Washington special, which ap
pears in Thursday’s issue of the News,
gave us the information that the State:
Department had received official * ad ri
ces from Berlin stating that the Ger
man Government had signified its wil
lingness to co-operate with the United;
States in the consideration of the silver
question, with a view to the establish
ment of the bi-metallic standard, and
this information was corroborated by a
dispatch from the Associated Press
published yesterday. We may infer,
therefore, that another international
convention to establish the monetary
value of silver and the bi-metallic stan
dard of currency will soon assemble,
and that under the leadership of Germany
and the United States this convention
will be more successful than the one
held for the same purpose some months
since.
This decision of Germany is the more
significant when it is remembered that
when the International Monetary Con
ference above alluded to was called by
this country, that nation, more promis
nently than any other in Europe, stood
aloof, and treated with contempt the
proposition to remonetize silver, and
give that metal an international recog
nition as a standard of currency.'"In
deed. the action of Germany did more
to prevent an agreement on that subject
being then reached, than did that of
any other European power, not even
excepting England. It is, therefore,
truly remarkable that now Germany
should be the first to intimate to the
United States a willingness to enter in
to a discussion of these important ques
tions.
The reasons for this sudden change
of base are shown in an interview re
cently held between Prince Bismarck
and Hon. William D. Kelly, member of
the House of Bepresentatives from
Pennsylvania. The latter named gen
tleman reports Prince Bismarck as say
ing in effect that the desire to unify the
diversified coins of the different states,
and the possession of a large amount of
gold for the time being, led to the
adoption of a single gold standard by
the German Empire. This means that
the French indemnity fund offered the
opportunity for trying the gold stand-
old in imitation of England. The
French fund, which perhaps seemed in
exhaustible at-first, lias been used up
however, and the German Government
has no longer any surplus funds with
which to continue the costly process of
retiring silver, selling it at a loss and
substituting gold to take its place. The
people there had been used to a single
standard of the cheaper metal and were
suddenly forced to transact their busi
ness on a single standard of the dearer
metal. This change exerted a substan
tial influence in bringing about a uni
versal shrinkage of prices, which was
the precursor of the hard times in Ger.
many. These conditions opened Bis
marck’s eyes to the fact that the contin
ued retirement and disuse of silver as
money would subject the government
and the people to new hardships and
prolonged depression, and he wisely de
termined to revise his policy.
alone, where the ratio'of’16 to 1 has I
been established. As an exchange very j
truthfully remarks on this subject:;
‘“Germany wifi carry Austria with it in j
this movement, and these two powers, j
together with the five powers compris* |
iner the Latin Union and the United
States will be powerful enough, even
without England, to establish and main
tain an international ratio, and thus
place silver and gold at par the world
over. Indeed, it is not impossible that
England, deferring to the change in
popular sentiment- upon k this subject,
which has been manifested in so many
ways, and to the interest of its trade
with India, may join in the movement;
at all events, the English Government
will do nothing to discourage the union
of the other powers upon a bi-metallic
system.”
Should the movement for the inter
national establishment of bi-metallism
result as above suggested, the following
lessons may be profitably learned in this
country. First, that the silver bill,
which its opponents so bitterly denounc
ed as a “pick-pocket bill” and a dishon
est measure, was an exceedingly liberal
measure, inasmuch as it placed the ra
tio of the two metals at 16 to 1, when
the sentiment of the civilized world will
decide that 15i to l is the proper pro
portion. Second, that the action of the
Democracy in remonetizing silver was
as Tar-siglited and beneficial as that of
the Bepublicans in demonetizing it was
unwise, oppressive and disastrous.—
Third, that the action of - the present
congress at the recent extra session in
postponing the consideration of the
Warner bill until December was very
fortunate, inasmuch as by that time it
is likely that events will be in such
shape that the status of the bill will be
better established, and legislation on
the silver question can therefore be
enacted moie intelligib ly and satisfacto
rily.— Sav. News.

to the adoption of a single silver stand
ard,but is an advocate and friend of
bi-metallism. He has at last recognized
the fact that the tendency of a single
standard is always not only to .creates
stringency ifi money and thereby par
alyze industry and produce distress, but
also to give to capitalists: and money
speculators a dangerous power, enabling
them to control the money -market at
will, and create panics at pleasure, to
the manifest injury of the masses. Be
sides this, having recognized the ne
cessity of silver Coinage, he now sees
that the proper and healthful equili
brium between gold and silver can only
be maintained by the unreserved use of
both, in proper, relative proportions, as
money. . Ee realizes that, under snch
circumstances, should the bullion value
of either metal increase above that of
the other, there will be an immediate
demand* for the cheaper metal,
and a falling off in the demand for. the
dearer; and this would at once Lave the
effect of raising the price of one and di-
timated by the numbers of troops on minisliing that of the other,- and soboth
each* side, as a rising may be induced in ..rn Hmr nnettinn ™ “ip
financial world. This, it is needless to
repeat, is one of the main arguments
-which the advocates for a double stand
ard m this conntry have always advanc
ed.
If Germany should determine to co
operate with the United States in efforts
to bring about the universal remoneti
zation of silver, and the fixed ratio
which the coinage of the two metals
should bear-to each other it will almost
certainly make the movement a success,
and it will probably be decided that
such ratio shall be that of 15j to 1.

are used, except in the United States
The Proposed Isthmus Can ah.—The
veteran Colonel Totten, who built the
Panama Bailroad, and who for nearly
thirty years has liyed on the isthmus, is
the latest scientific authority consulted
in regard to the proposed canal. ' Colo
nel Totten takes an enlarged- view of
the great enterprise. He thinks the ca
nal should be capable of accommodating
vessels five hundred feet in length, be
lieving the longest now afloat will be
second or third class by the'time the ca
nal shall have been completed; that it
shonld be thirty feet in depth, and in
all respects superior to any thing ever
conceived. -He reviews at length the
obstacles in the way, and explains how
how gr'eat difficulties can be overcome.
His estimate of the cost of the Panama
canal is §102.000,000, and that of Nic
aragua §140,000,000. the great differ
ence being on account of the relative
distances.
The .Rapid Growth of Chicago.—
The Chicago Tribune says: “To-day
Chicago is growing faster than ever. A
visit to the southern, western and north,
edges of the town reveals -an astonish
ing development. This is particularly
to be seen at stockyards, where a new
city is springing up. Here a' work
ing population of 18,000 is now em
ployed. :The number has been as *bigh
as 20,000. This is the largest mdnstri-
af-industy in any one square mile in the
world.
General Grant, in a letter to a friend
in San Francisco, says the Chinese
question is not going to agitate the
country long. His idea is that the
Chinese Government are very anxious
to keep all their people at home, and
that, if not interfered with, they will
stop, emigration.
