This morning will be found to contain
news of thrilling interest. The disaster at
Lawrence, Massachusetts,, is one of the
most terrible that has ever befallen any
portion of our country, and is only an addi-
tional proof of the recklessness and disre-
gard of life that eharacterizes US as people.
The use of burning fluids has been, and
still is, persisted in, Notwithstanding the
fact that it consigns thousands to an I'M
timely grave every year. In the present
instance, when every fireman was straining
himself to his utmost, to rescue those buried
in the ruins of the mill, some one dropped
one of these internal machines burning
fluid lamp-and over f,co hundred human
beings are destroyed in consequence.
We have some news from indianapolis.

That looks like queer move to us, and it
is difficult to conceive what the gentlemen

The NewCoinage.

The Director of the Mint having been
interrogated as to a rumored change in the
devices of the several silver coins of the
country, replies that there will he no change
in either the half or quarter doller pieces at
the present time. The dime, however, will
appear in a new and improved dress in 1860.
The present wreath on the reverse will give
place to more appropriate and national
one, being festoon composed of the chief
productions ofour country, interspersed with
oak leaves, as emblematic of strength and
durability. The legend, " United States of
America" will be transferred from the
reverse of the coin, where it now appears, to
the diverse or principal side. The device
on the diverse is not otherwise changed, but
the execution of the dies is somewhat i'm
proved. The devices upon the half dime
wilI conform in all particulars, except the
denomination of the coin, to thedime. The
cent will also appear with new reverse on
the new year. A much improved wreath,
composed of oak leaves, takes the place of
the present one, and is surmounted by the
national shield, or "armorial achievement"
as it is termed in the resolution of Congress
of June 20, 1882. where it is described as
follows tt Paleways of thirteen pieces, ar
gent and gules; a chief azure" The fol-
lowing is brief description of their heral-
die terms: The horIzontSl lines on the top
of the shield ga chief azure denote a
blue color. The paleways of thirteen pieces
-and spaces-or vertical lines-represent the
thirteen original States; the lines denote
red color. The space between the lines is
''argent," or silver,an represents the white
color in coats of arms. From this descrip-
ton we learn from whence comes the "red,
white and blue" The red is symboIical of
courage, the white ofpurity and beauty, and
the blue liberty and equality, particularly
as applicable to the union and equality of
the States. The import of this heraldic
device is frequently mutilated by having
''Stars or 'nullets" placed on the chief"
but these d not belong to our arms,
although the former .6Rd an appropriate
place on the flag ofour country.

uected with the trouble be tween the islands

that Ruatan is to be tho first point from
