The GOLD CoINAGE.-We have the sat
isfhc,ion TO inform the public, and espec-
ially all the frien,is of the gold currency
that the golden eagle is about to make its
appearance again in our land. Directions
have been given by the Treasury Depart.
ment to the Director of the Mint AT Phil-
delphia, TO have the dies prepared for this
superb coin; and the stamping Of it com.
menced with al! convenient despatch
From the talent of the chief coiuer, Mr..
Eckfeldt, and the engravcr, Mr.. Knenss,
and the taste and zeal of the director Dr.
Patterson, we may cxpecr 4 beautiful coin,
and a fine specimen of art, in this highest
denomination of American money. a ten
dollar piece in gold will be entitled to the
best exertIOns of the arts', and will doubt
less receive it; and in short time many
will see, and also possess, gold eagle, that
never saw one before. Ii is now thirty
four years since any of this coin was struck
at our Mint. The coinage of the eagle
ceased in 1904, because the erroneous
standard of our gold caused it to he ex-
ported almost as fast as struck. The ex-
hIbits of the Mint show that upwards of : :
300 900 of this coin were struck and where
are they nowl All gone to England
Not one to be seen in the United States !;
and probably there are many persons IN
the United States who are thirty years old, -,
and who never saw the gold eagle Of our
coinage The coin will be of great use
and convenience in considerable payments /;

1t struck shows TINT Mr.. Van Buren's ad
minstrlt0n is determined to carry out thr
great policy of General Jackson, and tn
make gold, what it was Intended to be by
currency of the country.
The amount of gold brought into oar
country since the passage of the gold bill
IN 1884, and especially the amount brought
in this manner, to say nothing of our own
mines, shows that an adequate gold curren-
cy is completely in our power, and that We
have only To perSevere in the Jncksonian

that the required aid will be given.
This coal mlne is in the town of Cumber-

IRRIGATION. The Salem Observer has
some excellent remarks on the use thar
may be made of the natural springs in the
mountains and hills of our country in irriga-
ting the lands. We select the following:
There is always water enough IN the
owels of the earth /; md the drawing II
forth and the diffusion of it are not So diff
cult and expensive matters as might ai first

favorable spot, with simple horse power ap-
pied to common pump, would in DIR,
Time be found of great saving benefit even

the springs in the neichboring hills, with
lIulc ingenuity and not much expense,
might be made To diffiise their anmatinn
contents over them. greatly t" The advantage
"t any KIND "f cIop. Artificial means of
watering would be found benefcial in the
most ordinary seasons; hut in times of
grea; drought of incalculable benefit. The
most fihuorin2 promises of abundant crops
have, in mnny cases, been destroyed bv the
recent hot and dry time which has been
experienced in this State and elsewhere.
Irrigation is much employed IT, many
countries in Europe, and with great nd-
vantage. In Italy there is scarcely field
or garden which is not furnished with tn
means of artificial watering. The Mia
nese territory exhibits the greatest expansr Of
irrigation known in Europe. IN that cnUn-
try are % be seen noble canals, running Ia
every direction for this purpose. They
are under the authority and protection of
the government, which lets out the water

three and half to four feet; and IN all a

Whole farms, it is said, have been suhmerg-
