The New York Courier and Enquirer
gives the following narrative Of the descent
of Green the diver to the Atlantic, lying
at the bottom of Lake Erie:
Not many months since q vessel wes
lost in wafer whose depth at tho place of
the laundering was about "A feet. There
was portion of the cargo 50 valuable
that it became advisable TO use every eff.
fort possible to recover it, 1t was scarce
ly possible to do anything. 1t was far
beyond all ordinary means Of human &C
ton, it might be reached though it would
be a bold attempt BY the diver. He was
sought and found, and recompense which
on land would be princely one, was
guaranteed to him. Men will do more
than does become man for rich re-.
ward. To feed him with air, . powerful
pump. worked by six men was brought,
and u hose doubly strengthened, WAS made
All the appliances that the mos. liberal
management could suggest we're ready for
his aid. He was surrounded by intelli.
gencc and courage and humanity. He
dared the deep water once, twice, seven
times. The men at the break Of the air
pump wrough. with the might of earnes,
strength. The fed the vital current to the
bold diver, and be had the courage to trus,
them. Their work vas bis breath. When
he came up he told the gentleman tina. SD
perlntended The trial, that the air at that
depth, as the machinery forced !. to him,
cracktea aad Kissed like the FIRING Of hot
.fct. and that every movement of the pump
fell on his breast like the blow of the crow
bari
You 60 down no more for ME, said the
kind-hearted gentleman who stood b. him.
as ne came on deck. In the intensity of
all his experience, this too daring man be-
sought for the opportunity for ano,he, tri.
al The gentleman refused, but the diver
insisted on going for himself. He went,
and returned a paralyzed man, and Jus,
holding life now craw!s along. The clar
ct bottle a, bis girdie, corked tightly and
empty, was filed when he came back,
though the cork was not disturbed. The
water had forced Itself beyond power O.

We the undersigned feel called upon to
state to the Public The course W intend
TO pursue in reference to the nominations
for county officers, made at the so.calsed
Democratic convention held at the Council
Chamber in Sioux City on Tuesday last !;
and for such action We present the follow
ing reasons:
A resolution introduced into that meet
ing requiring that none but actual voters
might participate in the nominations, was
objected 10 and voted down by the very
men affected Ly said resolution 10 conse.
quence Of which tue convention was con-
trolled and the nominations were made by
the votes Of persons who will have no right
to vote at our coming October election,
and certainly have no right to control the
action Of the democratic party. We claim
thst the pominations we're effected co.tra.
~ 70 justice, aud the usages Of the dem
ocratic party, and do not represent the will
Of majority Of the democratic voters Of
Woodbury. county.
For these and other reasons, while we
fully snd cordially endorse the first as well
~ oil the resolutions introduced BY Gen
eral Leech, and which were voted down,
and while we are and will be bound by the
nominations Of the democratic party, when
fairly and justly made, we feel it our duty
under the circumstances to use our utmos,
endeavors to secure the defeat Of the tickle,
put in nomination at the convention, as
the only resor. left US.

CURRENCY OF GREAT BRITAIN.

Gold The pound sterling is represented
by the coin called the sovereign, whose legal
stspdsrds are eleven-twelfths Tor 9l6s thou
sands) fine, and at the rates OF As 29-4O pie
oes to pound troy; equal to l293 grains, or
0 256 $40 ounce, not making exact fractions.
The coinage of sovereigns commenced In
1916 Before that time the principal coin
was the guinea of one pound and one shill-
ing, i2ls, which was 90 the same legal ba-
sis, and which ceased to be coined when the
exact pound piece was introduced. AL
though the term guinea is still IN familiar
use there, the actual coin ia seldom seen, and
need not be further spoken of except to say
that tho pieces are 90 much and 30 irregularly
worn. that they can only be taken by weight,
their average 6neness being 9l53. From 1916
to about 1851, the average fneness of sover-
eigns was 9l53. with great regularity
Since that date the fneness has been more
exactly conformed to the legal standard. and
10 reported by US at 9l6}. The average
weight of the older pieces is 0 256 ounce. and
and the value $484 8; new pieces O 1864, or
l23 Is grains, value S4.S6.3. There are
also balf-sovereigns, and same double sOver-
eigns have been coined.
.Silrer.-The silver coinage was alec re-
formed in 1916. 1t bears subsidiary rela-
ton to the gold, being coined at a higher rate
than its true value, in order that it may be
kept in the country to secure the purpose Of
change. Instead Of the shilling being worth
243 cents here. las the twentieth part of a
pound. it is % cents for new and unworn
pieces and about % cents when worn. The
assay Of new pieces is 9243 thousandths, (tbe
standard being 925;) the average weight of
the new shilling 0.lS23 ounce. There are
also silver crowns Of five shillings, half
crowns, forms of two shillipgs, six-pences.
or half-shillinga, and pieces of four pence and
three pence current; besides these, holiday
money, not currently the pieces of two. ono
and = half and one penny, coined annually
in small sums. Silver coins Of Eoglsud come
here in the bands of travellers and emigrs ants,
not in the way Of commerce.

PUNCH TO AMERICA.

In allusion to the anniversary sympathy
with which the death Of Hsvelock was re-
earAed in America, Punch says: 1--WE owe
our cousins hearty good wish IN return
for their display Of kind feeling. we can
hardly wish them better than this; namely
that America may always continue to act
more wisely BY her children than her moth
or Eugland has too often done. 10 that
case the Union will be spared the knowiedge
of the value of single brave soldier at q
time of unexpected disaster. And it 1t
should ever happen-who knowss-seme'
how the English language, let it be spoken
where it may, has . faculty Of arousing
tho snmi.y Of dsspotism-if it should ever
happen that American 6ayonets should GROSS
stesi from the Arsenal Of Cronstadt. or
Toulon, or Vienns, may the gallant Repur-
lioans have Q leader hike Hsselock. to show
then, bow to improve their victory. 80
wish England and-Panch.
