TIE THREE CENT Pieces. The Phil
adelphia Ledger, in giving tie coinage
and operations OF the mint for the month
OF February, as detailed In the official
table in the monetary department OF
the Sun, remarks as follows:
Rather more than the usual monthly
number quarters, dimes and halfdimts
has beencoined. Should've new coinage
law go into operation on the lst OF June
next, this labor will have to be all done
over again. |, would be wise If Con-
gress, before i.s adjournment, would
bring the three cent pieces up to the
same standard with the new halves,
quarters and dimes. 1t is very conve
nient little com, and there is a general
desire 10 continue il in circulation. As
now made, there is rather too much
copper in It. Alter a little use, it
changes to greeni.h color, and be-
comes greasy to the touch. by bring
ing il to the standard fineness CT the
new coinage bill, this would be obviated,
and without any visible change in its
size.

just remarks;
Nothing can be more unwise than
the erection of costly dwellings, which
can only he maintained by princely
fortunes. At the death of thu head Of n
family, and the division oI The ancestral
property, nc. one Of the children, as a
general rule, has enough TO support the
establishment, and il passes into other
hands. Nothing can be more cruel to
children than, to bring them up with the
eyusctatlon which cannct be fulfilled,
and with habits OF lie which they arc
compelled 10 abandon. The pa ent, Tor
the sake OF lew years OF ostenu'Ion,
invests large portion OF his estate III
a splendid dwelling, with the certainty
that his death will be the signal Tor the
expulsion OF his children from. it, Noth-
inc can be more inconsiderate, il 1t Is
done without reflection, or more unlce,-

centuries the idea has PREVAILED, and
many attempts have been made at dh-
terent tines to revive the failing pow

youth. The introduction Of blood Of a
young and vigorous person into the
veins of the old has been iavorite idea
aud s.hjsc' OF experiment, hut hitherto
without the wished-ior results. The
attention of the MeGico Chn urgcal So
