IsA few days back while on a visit
TO the city, we had the pleasure Of be-
ing shown through the q. S. Mint, by
the polite and efficient Superintendent
of the Coming Department, Dr.. Tay-
lor, lately of ST. Helena parish, 1t is
very interesting to observe the vari~
Gus processes which the 'almighty
dollar" has to go through before it is
ready to start upon its travels, like tile
Wandering Jew, visiting all nations
and knowing no rest. Through the
DIS. lucid explanations Of the several
branches Of his Department in the
manufacture of coin, we were very
much enlightened upon a subject that
had heretofore been but vaguely un-
derstood by as. 1t is easier for a wood
chopper to make a single dollar than
a single one could be made in the
Mint. The last but one process with
gold coin is the cleaning of it, which
is done by a revolving steam boiler, OF
about four feet in length by one foot in
diameter, in which the coin is placed
with saw dust, which, after revolving
awhile, comes out as bright as it seen
before it is handled by the world. Ii
is then taken TO the stamping room
and completed. The machinery for
stamping is more beautiful than any
other in the establishment. While we
were present, fifty thousand dollars in
double eagles received the sign manual
of Uncle Sam, and before this proba~
bly, are on their way TO Washington,
to replenish his exhausted Treasury.
A brass cylinder The size of a double
eagle receives the coin, something
like the hopper of a mill,) beneath
which is a sliding peice Of steel, which
places each peice Of coin under the
stamp, at the rate Of two or three a
second, each peice sliding off into a
box beneath as fast as it is made. 1t
is a sight worth a dozen shows to visit
the Miatand witness the various ope>
ration hich the object that stimu>
Iates the exertions If us all has to go
through before it isln a proper state
to take its place iii the business affairs
of life. DR.. Taylor, in his Departs
ment, will be found to be a most po>
lite and agreeable gentleman, who ap>
pears to have a thorough knowledge
of the various branches that he has
been appointed to s%uperintend, and
who we have no doubt will take great
pleasure in conducting any gentleman
around through the various rooms,
and in explaining the nature and use
of the various machinery.

TLocal items just now are hard
to get at with the exception of seve>
raj marriages that are reported soon to
come off, we hear of nothing in the
home market worth a public allusion.
Hard times and the difficulty of obtains
ing money, are old crys, but we are
sorry to say that their truthfulness
was never more apparent than now.
We have tried in vain to get on the
scent of a few dimes for some time
past, for the purpose of liquidating
some old scores, and be again free !;
and we now give notice that it is per-
feet nonsense to show the face of a
bill in this Office, unless the visitor
knows better than ourself where we
can hustle up a little Of the needful.
But let every man stake it easy' these
hard times there is no use fretting !;
he should up with his sleeves and keep
hard at work il will keep the blues
from %tormenting the life out of him,
and it is the best security which a ere.
ditor can have. The honest working
man who does his best feels but slight>
~ the blow, If business fails and cir
cumstances beyond his control cause
him to sacrifice his hard.earned gains.
The knowledge that misfortune does
not come through % own improvi>
dence, resists the sting it otherwise
would infict.

HIBERNlAN CHARAcrER--An exchange,
thinking to sum up the leading characteristics
of Green Erin's sons, writes as follows:
70 art, science, kiie-fiying. literature, love
making, fighting. learning, punch-drinking
speech>making, private dislilIation, law break
ing, running in debt, music--everything, in
fact, bnt mechanical invention, they certainly
are ahead of their English and Scottish neigh
bors. In the art of spending money, they have
always shown great ability. Ii once was said
OF g bould soldier boy" that he had the faculty
OF spending half a crown out Of six-pence a
day.

The NEXT CoNaREss.- Elections for tnem.
bers of the House of Representatives Of the
next Congress have now been held in all the
States in the Union. Tie House consists Of
234 members 1913 Democrats, 90 Black Re.
publicans and IA Know Nothings. 1t will
be seen from this says the New York News
that the Democrats have a clear majority
of twenty-five over the combined vote of the
black republican and know nothings. This
majority will be increased to twenty five at
an early period of the session by the admis-
sion of the three democratic members of the
new State of Minnesota. 1t may be added
as most significant fact that six of the
seven Territories of the United States will be
represented in the next Congress by demo-
cratic delegates. The Senate is composed of
SO democrats, and "a republicans and know

This will be news to many. 1t certainly
