On the whole, we think the dying 3'ear will prove to have been a In one and that out of tlie chaos wrought by it will come a now condition of things, better than the old. Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, who is a recent convert to ,the cause of bimetallism, has the most radical plan yet evolved for the solution of the silver problem, lie proposes, upon the reconvening of Congress, to introduce a resolution the Senate, and will advocate its adoption, inviting all tho nations of the world to a monetary conference. Tho invitations are to contain tho declaration that it is the purpose of the conference to establish and maintain an international ratio, with a further specific declaration that in the event of their failure to do so, the United States will maintain a single standard of silver. As tlie invitations will include all nations and not be confined to the gold countries, it will certainly give an opnaportunity to the silver-usintions to express their sentiments, with the possibility that they nun have sufficient strength to force an international ratio and compel a more extended and libera! use of filver as a money of redemption. g Tho retiring members of' the city council would have done a graceful act had they enacted au ordinance regulating tho s'd.iri of city officers.

A NOTICE Is hereby given that there will be a meeting of the resident taxpayers of Eureka School District No. 5 of Juab County, Utah Territory, held at the Court House in Eureka, on Saturday, December 30. 1893, for the purpose of (I) of voting to levy a tax of one per cent on all the taxable property within the district. Said tax is for the. purpose of building and furnishing a new school house, estimated to cost two thousand two hundred one-ha- gay colored streamers, evergreens and mottoes appropriate to the Christmas tide. In one corner was the children's Christmas tree, laden with presents all. An excellent programme was rendred, after which Santa Clans appeared, dressed in becoming style, with snow white beard and hair, and with his pleasant words and happy laugh causing lots of fun and frolic. The presents were then distributed to the children, and for a time nothing could be heard but the blowing of trumpets and the noisy laughter of the children. The Mission Band of Sunday School, which was organized a few weeeks ago, had made a handsome quilt, each block being made by a different little girl, and faring her name in indelible ink. The quilt was exhibited in the front of the church, off, Mrs. Con Sullivan off the prize. The chairs carrying were then put to one side, and the children allowed to give vent to their spirit in games of all sorts, which they did until midnight, when all went to their homes, tired but feeling happy in having had such a jolly good time. A The tables were laid for the tirat meal. There were no cloths, and it ia almost needless to add that there were no napkins, although these are considered eq essential in France that even in the rnosB wretched auberge one is usually laid be fore the guest. Trappists, however, have little need of thern. At each plaee were a wooden Bpoou and fork, a plate, a jug of water, and another jug a smaller one of "beer, and a porringer Boup, which is the chief diet of the Trappists. Very thin soup it ia, the ingredients being water, chopped vegetables, bread and a little oil or but- fr ter. Until a few years ago no oily matter, whether vegetable or animal, was air lowed in the Boup, nor was it permissi. ble, except in case of aickuess, to hav more than one meal a day, but the necessity of relaxing the rule a little wea realized. Now, during the six Bummej months of tlie year, there are two meahf a day nameiy, at 11 and 6, but in winter there is still only one that is called a meal, and this is at 4. There la, however, a gouter just something to keep the stomach from collapsing at 10 ia the morning. No fish, nor flesh, nor anir mal product, except cheese and butter, is eaten by these Trappists unless they fall ill, and then they have meat or anything else that they may need to make them well. There is, however, very litr tie sickness among them. The living of each Trappist probably costs no more than sixpence a day to th community. Assuming that the into the common fund by thoe who have a private fortune the father as a rule, are men of som independent! means covers the establishment peruses, and the taxation imposed by tb state, there must remain a considerable profit on the work of each individual, whether he labors in the fields or in th dairy and cheeeerooms, or concerna himself with the sales and the accounts, or, lile the porter at the gate, teats with an Instrument the richness of the milk that ia brought in by the peasants, lest thef who have been befriended by the monki in sickness and penury should steal from them in return. To devote this surplus obtained by a life of sacrifice, compared to which th material misery of the beggars whom they relieve is luxury, to the lessening of bnmp.n suffering, to the encourage ment of the family, offering the hand ot charity to the worthy and the unworthy, expecting no honor from all this, and not even gratitude, is a life that makea that of the theoretical philanthropists and humanitarian philosophers look rar ther barren.

Nothing is now more universally aor cepted than the fact that the peach is an improved variety of the almond. The almond has a thin shell around the stone, which splits open and shows the stone when mature. This outer skin has simply become fleshy in the peach, 60 that it is all that gives it its specific character. It seems now clear from investigation in the history of ancient Babylon that in their gardens, nearly 4,000 years ago, the peach was cultivated then as it now is. f It must have been many years before this that tho peach was improved from the almond, and this fact goes to Bhoy the great antiquity of tho fruit. Possibly gardening in some respects,, at least eo far as it relates to many of our cultivated fruits, was as far advanced 6,000 or 8,000 or perhap3 10,000 years back as it ia tor day. Phoenicians, many thousands of years ago, as is proved by the records, had in their gardens almonds, apricots, bananas, citrons, figs, grapes, olives, peaches, pomegranates; and evon sugar cane waa in extensive cultivation. Certainly this ehows how far advanced theee nations were in garden culture many years ago. Detroit Froe Press.
