FEUILLETON DE LES AVENTDEES T. DE ROHAN PAB CHARLES DESLIS. V---A L'UNIVERSITE DE LEYDE Neuf ans se sont écoulés, nous sommes a Leyde. Une riche et belle Tille hollandaise avec ses larges rues, ses élégants clochers, ses super bes ramparts, ses environs délicieux son grand fleuve et ses innombrables canaux : la Venise du Nord. Leyde était célèbre alors par son université, l'une des plus savantes de l'Europe. Permettez-moi de vous présenter deux de ses élèves. C'est jour de congé. Us viennent de sortir de la ville par la porte du Rhin ; ils se promènent lentement sous les arbres, ils vont s'asseoir tout a l'heure sur ce terte verdoyant qui domine le cours majestueux du fleuve. L'aîné de nos deux étu diants paraît avoir une vingtaine d'années ; il se nomme Daniel Elze vier. Vous la connaissez, cette illustre famille d'imprimeurs, dont les œuvres éternellement recherchées, attestent que la conscience et la perfection dans le travail peuvent aussi conqué rir l'immortalité. Leur principale maison était à Leyde. Daniel, qui devait largement contribuer à sa gloire, venait d'être reçu docteur. Il allait partir pour Paris, afin de s'y perfectionner dans la langue française. Puis il revien drait au pays pour succéder à son père. C'était alors un studieux jeune homme, au maintien modeste, à l'honnête et douce physionomie. On y devinait la sincérité, la droiture, la bouté. Il parlait peu, mais disait toujours juste. Sous une apparence froide et grave, il avait l'esprit jeune et le cœur «.baud. C'était un ami sûr et capable au besoin d'un énergique dévouement. En ce moment, avec une souriante complaisance, il écoutait son jeune camarade, qui paraissait l'honorer d'une longue et intime confidence. Celui-la n'avait guère plus de dix-sept ans. il était svelte et natu Tellement distingué. Sur ses traits allongés et fins, dans sa mate pâleur, il y avait une certaine mélancolie, mais dans l'expression, dans le regard, de la fougue. Ce n'était pas un fils de la Hollande ; ce devatt être un Français, un gentilhomme. On l'appelait mem herr Karl ; mais ailleurs, en d'autres temps, il s'était appelé Tancrède. Kien qu'a l'aigrette blanche qui se remarquait parmi ses beaux cheveux, maintenant d'un châtain modéré, vous l'eussiez recon nu tout de suite, j —Daniel, disait-il, puisque tu as le bonheur d'aller en France, laisse moi tout te raconter, tout te dire. Tu t'informelus .... tu verras .... qui sa't ? .... peu.-être trouveras-tu? quelque indice, quelque preuve, qui m'app-enne eidin qui je suis! ... Où tu étions-nous ? /sh ! a Dieppe, un frère du capitaine lîa^rièrï. le capitaine La, Suuvetat, nous v attcr-! dait. Tu l'as p i voir ici. 11 est, je crois, au se vice du si: who mit r. Le lougve q.M l'aval amené nous Tem po 1.1 tous ica deux. Ce fut lui qui me plaça chez lie,] Co, molles, dan': cet.a éco'o du Wœsterland où j'ai passé de si tristes années ! Un vil lage ! Four compagnon, des petits paysans qui ne savaient pas un mot de français, et se croyaient en droit de me mépriser parce que je ne les comprenais pas, parce que je n'avais pas de mère I ... Oh ! comme je les enviais, ces fils de pêcheurs ou de poisonmers qui connaisaient leur mère 1 Je me souviens qu'un soir.au milieu de la récréation, le pédagogue cria d'une fenêtre : "Karl ! Karl ! au bnrloir l .... sa mère le deman de !" Je m'élauçai. Une folle espé rance m'enivrait le cœur. Oh I que je 1 eusse aimée, cette femme, cette mere qui était la, qui teodait les bras I ... Hélas ! un autre Karl s'y jetait déjà, celui qui en avait le droit, son fils ! Moi, je tombai, sanglotant, évanoui. —Pauvre ami, murmura Daniel ; Pauvre Tancrède. —Ce nom, on me l'a défendu ... volé, comme tout le reste ! Et jamais, jamais ce La S&uvetat n'a rien voulu me dire ! Il sait tout cependant .... il doit tout savoir ! je le forcerai bien a parler ! Un jour, comme je venais d'atteindre ma douzième année, il yeparut tout a coup, me conduisit a Leyde, et me fit inscrire a l'Académie. Puisqu'on s'est résolu a me donner de l'éducation, c'est donc que je suis quelque chose ! —Calme-toi, reprit Daniel, espère en la bonté de Dieu. La rigueur de tou sort ne s'est-elle pas adoucie déjà ? Tu pouvais être mis en pen sion chez quelque bourgeois rigide, acariâtre .... et ta bonne étoile a fuit choisir mein herr Poienicq, qui est bien le meilleur homme du monde. —D'accord ! s'écria Karl. Oh ! je ue suis pas un ingrat. J'aime bien papa Poteuicq, maman Potencq et ma gracieuse sœur Eve Potenicq, fiancé de mon ami Daniel. A ces derniers mots, le jeune Elvezier avait rougi comme une jeune fille. —Bon Daniel I poursuivit chaleu reusement Tancrède, tu as raison,.... j'ai eu tort d'accuser la Providence, qui me console par des affections telles que les vôtres 1 .... Ne m'a vait-elle pas déjà donné l'ami Fran çois ! .... la Simonne ! .. ;. Oh ! je oe les oublie pas uou plus ceux-là ! et bien souvent, lorsque je me tourne vers la France, il me prend des envies de crier comme autrefois : "Ohé ! la Simonne 1, .... & moi, François !" Tancrède essuya une larme. Puis se tun ruant vers le midi, asplraut l'air qui soufflait du pays natal, le front haut, l'œil étincelant, il suivit, avec une exaltation croij A Suivre. \n\n COMMUNICATED. TO the SENTINEL. The Republican State Contrai com mittee of Indiana has lately held a meeting for consultation as to the management of the present campaign in that State. In the account of the meetiug are found the following inter esting statements, among those hand ed in by the committeemen, especially from the agricultural districts, which by the way comprise nine-tenths of the State. "Some of the reports were very discouraging." "The committee said they had made every effort .to stem the silver tide which swept over their districts and had failed." "That instead of the silver craze dying out it was more extensive and dangerous than ever before." "It was useless to argue with farmers who were selling coin at 12 ceuts per bushel and wheat at 50 cents. They were for silver aud that ended it." "There would have to be a new issue sprung, they could not light the battle on the silver issue and expect to win." They advised that speakers be sent over the State ''to stir up hostility agaiust the Democratic party on some other line, and put the financial is ne on the background." After sittting fur a few hours on the mourners' bench lamenting their lost conditiou it wes finally concluded "that tor the b.d auce of the campaign there would be as much evasion of the silver question as piK-sibi* speak*is î,!,> pi'.'.indices, rallier tii. j t " ,u °' £i,e VütelH ?n<i ile, ami instead Republican -ill content, themselves wi*h and anaichists rnd hold op the Ketuvj be.!!! daily iis ihe defender,:f the iirg." Yes, farmers who'obtain l;> cents ior coni aud JO cents for wheat niest be classed as anarchists beu use Biey dare to speak for themselves, and do not follow Bourg Cocktane's advice to _ "keep their months shut" and let the gold bugs mauage the nuances. I had a conversation the other day with an old farmer who resides uear Kneel and. He said that lie bad culti vated » crop «*t potatoes this year that at a reasonable price should have brnnght him from six to eight hundred dollars. They netted him eighty dollars, snd he added that lie was lucky in shipping at an opportune moment, as his neighbors »hipped their crops and received a net return of five ceuts per barrel, and some of them actually came ont in debt to their merchants. I told him that "he had one consolation," "tbut his live cents per barrel was in "sound money,' which appeared to be all that was neceasaiv by our gold bug Re publican friends. So long as yon received "sound money" it was not much difference whether you obtaiued five cents or five dollars per barrel, according to their logic." Tiie only thing that will bring tears to their eyes is the tbought that some of you might receive titty cent dollars. "To the devil with their sound money" It my head is white as suow 1 have still some sound knuckles on my arms, and if some of those gold robbers bother me with their five cent per barrel potatoes and "sound money" I will prove to them that if they can destroy my means of making a living for my family that they cannot des troy the strength of my right arm. I would like to see one of them go into the field and work for months io the hot sun to raise a crop of potatoes and sell them for five cents per barrel, even if it would be sonnd money. The miserable ranters would not be so fiu *nt with their advice to tlie "hay seeds" to keep their mouths shut. On last Sunday there suddenly burst forth a brilliant meteor in the town of Franklin iu the Parish of St. Mary, calculated to illuminate the silver heathen followers in southern Louisi ana as the light from the Bartholdi statue in New York, brightens up the dark waves around Ute goldbug den in the midnight shadows. Astonished mankind, it any one conld be aston ished in St. Mary Parish, listened with open mouths and eager ears to hear this youthful prodigy denounce the supporteis of free silver, as traitors, revolutionists, constitution haters, an archists snd repudiators. Because the wage earners, farmers and tailoring men of the country favor the bimetal lism that our fathers bequeathed us this blatherskite cannot find language sufficiently degrading to express his lofty opinion of them, Daniel Webster lias said that neither gold or silver could lie des troyed ander the constitution of tbe United States, and Daniel Webster knew more about the constitution any morning before breakfast than this self constituted meteoric light ever did, or ever will, know if he lives to be as old ss Metbusaleh. He prates about millions upon tops of millions of gold and silver and by his countless numbers thinks to bedaz zle tbe minds of his hearers : bnt his flowing language does not have much effect upon a man that realizes five cents a barrel for his potatoes. What does a farmer or laborer care how iany hundreds of millions of doll? s are locked up in the money dem of New York, or whether there be aore gold or more silver when lie r .not sell his products, or his time a enough to feed and clothe his fam ily 1 What the masses of the jieople want is a cn culating money and one ^tlrat circulates. The free coinage of liver will supply that circulai ion, and that circulation will restore prosperity to the people aud make them once more coutented and happy.

The overprodnotion argument was advanoed at last Saturday's Republi can meeting as a full explanation of the fall of prices. To be sure the law of supply and demand affects t prices of things, but it works both ways ; it affects 11 oney just as it does other cnmmnditits. A limited supplr of money raises the price of money, increases its nun basing power, and as its (Mticiiasing | ower increases, the prices of commodities for which it exchanges, tbinys being in .1 normal condition, deci-euse in ihe s. me pro ,u)i tion. When prices of commodities rauge low, theie may be one of two ceases for that state of things, or peibups both causes operate together ia low ering the prices. The low )nk-e< m ay be due to the overpiodiicfro 1 ,.f u M . commodity ottered for sale, o, 1 ,, ihd under production or »c m- • t, oriusouie instances, to operating at ihe same L,uc.
