SuIcIDE,-A case of i'll treatment and sui
cide' says the Union, was related to us yes
terday. as follows:
A colored girl, by the name of "Becky. /"
aged about l6 years, who was brought to
this State from Missouri, residing at the
house of Joseph Jasper, at the crossing of
Bear river, was discovered few davs Since
(about Saturday last) to be enceinte. and see
verely whipped by her mistress to compel
her to disclose facts in this relation. She
finally confessed, and being whipped severe
ly again, subsequently shot herself and died
soon afterwards This is the first intimation
we have received of the occurrence If the
statement is true, the matter should be thor
oughly Investigated, it being apparent in that
case that the law has been violated, not only
in the beating of the girl, but in the inter-
ment of the body without due authority
Doubtless parties interested will be able and
willing to furnish US with full particulars Of
the case.

BY n letter from one of the Mail stations,
near what is called Apache Pass, on the road
from Tucson to El Paso, we learn that about
800 Cayotere Apaehes have started on a rob-
bing expedition into Sonora. Previous to
starting, they prepared their arms with more
care than usual, and stated that they would
go long ways into Mexico. and stay away a
considerable length of time On their return
they boasted that they would destroy Fronte-
ras, the last Mexican frontier town, on their
route. Comment on the expedition of these
American sOvages is unnecessary
At Mesilla, lately, two Americans were
killed by some of the Apache tribes, and the
town plundered of hor.es at midnight.
Nothing new in mining. The weather is

A New SrYLE-The most original and in
genious style of mule.leading we ever saw
happened under our observation yesterday.
A man was riding one mule and leading FIVE.
The modus operandi was indeed unique. Two
of the mules he was leading by their halters,
which he held in his right hand, while with
his left he guided the mule he was riding.
But, not having more than two hands, the
other three mules had to be disposed of in
some other way. The method he chose was
to tie the first of these three by the nose to
the tail Of the mule he rode; the second t.
the tail of him, and the third to the tail Of
the second BY this means, he went along
without any trouble. Occasionally, the hind
most mule would take a back-set, and then
the tails of those preceding would be strait
ened out little too taut, perhaps, for COM
fort But this was only momentary and
with slow. deliberate step, the sober train
moved on. A shout of laughter went up
wherever they passed, which neither the own
or nor animals in the least regarded There
was no sense of the ridiculous in that mans
soul at all. He was merely carrying out
what he regarded as sound, practical idea

DECIMAL COINAGE IN ENGLAND.

1t is several years since the subject Of deci-
NAL coinage was prominently brought before
the public, and an endeavor made, by those
fully aware of the advantages of the system, to
bring it into general use. The convenience of
a uniform system of currency is too obvious to
need comment but at the same time there
may be local reasons against its adoption in
other countries that neutralze these advan-
tages.
Such is the opinion of the Commissioners on
Decimal Coinage in England, as expressed in
the elaborate report they have recently made
public. They record their disapprobation OF
the proposed monetary change, in general, by
claiming that decimal coinage in the form pro.
posed =" cannot be looked upon as wsll-as-
sured or demonstrated mprovement on our pres
ent coinage; but must rather be considered as
an experiment of very doubtful value, accom-
panied, beyond question, by many serious trans
itional difficulties.
While it is acknowledged that in paper trans
actions the decimal system is the most conve-
nient, it is urged that the same system cannot so
readily be employed in the everyday pecuniary
transactions of life. 1t is even pretended that,
in making small calculations in the head the
decimal currency is not so easy to reckon as the
arbitrary currency of pounds, shillings, and
pence; and, in support of this theory, reference
maze 10 the CUSTOM SLlll prevalent among
the shop-keepers in the United States, of ma
king out bills and charging customers in shil-
lings instead of cents. 1t is said, that this pref
erence is owing to the ease with which shil-
ling can be divided by lower numbers, while
ten is only diyisibe by five and two. 1t is more
difficult at once to tell the price of quarter or
third Of any article by decimal calculation,
than by the old system and so the English
Commission has come to the conclusion that
the only advantage of the proposed change in
coinage would be to facilitate the performance
| Of complex calculations on paper.
Another impediment to the adoption of deci
NAL coinage in England is, that either the pen
| ny or the Pound---the two great types of Eng
| lish money--must be then abandoned. A pen
nv is the two hundred and fortieth part of 8
pound, and either its value must be more thar
| doubled to make it decimal fraction of the
| pound, or else the value of the pound must bt
| reduced in like proportion. 1t is impossible
| to include both coins under any system of deci
NAL coinage. The vast Inconvenience result
| ing to the uneducated, the necessity of an en-
tirely new coinage, the difficulty in the adjust
ment of such tolls, fares, &C., which are nov
expressed by the penny, the ancient traditions
and popular prejudices in favor of the old CONS
and the necessary loss of four per centy eithe
to purchaser or seller, that would for time a
/ least be involved in the adoption of the pro
posed scheme, are ell enumerated among tn
