HE MINT. Inere mas been coined and IS
sued by the mint of the United States since
its establishment, more than thirty millions of
dollars in gold and silver. The bullion has
been entirely supplied by individuals and incor-
porated companies, in consequence of the wise
and liberal provision that depositors should re-
ceive in coins, free of charge, the full value of
the fine metal contained in his deposit The
| amount of coinage has been constantly increas-
ing, and it is apprehended that, unless meas
ures are soon adopted for enlargfng the means
embarrassing and injurious delays must arise
in the execution of the labors of the mint In
1899 the amount of coinage was 646,000 dol
lars in 1910, 1,156,000; in 1920, 1874 900 :;
in 1927, 1924 900. During the present year,
says the Director, " the high price of exchange
has strongly tended to induce the shipment of
silver to Europe, in many of those forms in
which it usually comes to the mint" He adds,
however, that there are already evident ind-
cations that this state of things is drawing to
close
| Ore disadvantage, under which the mint la
bors, arises from the want of adequate accom-
HoudtIouS III TIC buildings attached TO the eS-
tablishment, which are represented as most
manilestly unsuitable to the importance and
value of the institution, by which silver bullion,
brought from certain districts of Spanish Amer

portion, is necessarily Withdrawn from the
vaults of the mint, and exported to France and

HINTS ON EDUCATION.


As the btne6; of inslruclio depends, in a
great measure, on the degree OF inleres, which
can be maintained in The mind Of the pupil, it
brcomes an important inquiry by what means
this OBJECT may be secured.
The love Of knowledge is implanted in our
nature The mind Delights in progress. But
as il is regular in its progress, it can find no
pie sure IN an unnatural impulse. II put 10 ef-
for,s beyond us strength, fatigue and Discus
rsgement unavoidably result. Nor Can it take
any delight in me show OF knowledge, willie
the understanding remains unCheer.d by one
r.y OF light. To pursue an object with plea.
sure, We must be able 10 examine, and in some
good degree, TO comprehend it. A system Of
inslruc ion, therefore, designed TO bene6, youth,
should be simple, natural, progressive and well
de6ned Sufficiently diversified to prevent te-
diousoess, aud sufic GENTLY stable to exclude fri
voii,y.
The advantages Of systematic, over de-
su.tory course Of instruction, will appear, whe-
iher we consider the structure OF the mind, the
influence which education e1ers on our useful
ness In This ifr, or its important bearing on a
future exis,eucr There is a wonderful analo.
Ky IN ak the works Of creation. Nothing is
