With the augmentation OF gold, in quantity

which would seem to prove the theory,
that corn, not gold Is the standard OF oil val

A good story is told, that a gentleman, at
San Francisco, called on working man to
carry bis trunk up from the boat, when the
fellow shook bag Of gold at him which he
held IN hls hand saying, do you think ]
am LorSs to carry II for you ~

Europe and the United States, to examine
the various modes Of education, returned,
publishing very judicious suggestions on the
