it is only exceed III height by Mount

ELLSWORTH, MAINE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY s. 1864.
Something about Money.

The following facts in reference to cur
rency matters will be found interesting ID
most people 49,.
Many things have been used a! different
time for money; cowric shells in Africa ;
wampum by the American Indians; cat
tie in ancient Greece. The Carthageni-
ans used leather as money, probably bear
ing some mark or stamp Frederick II,
at the seige of Milan, issued stamped
leather as money. In 1880, John the
Good, King of France, who was taken
prisoner by the celebrated Black Prince
and sent to England until ransomed, also
issued leather money, having small sill
yer nail in the centre. Salt Is the com.
mon money Of Abyssinia Goldfish in Ice
land and newfoundland. Living money"
slaves and oxen, passed current with the
Anglo-Saxon, in payment of debts. Adam
Smith says that in his day there was a
village in Scotland where it was not un.
common for workmen to carry nails in.
stead Of money to the bakers shop and
alehouse. Marco Polo found in China
money made Of the bark of the mulberry
tree, bearing the stamp of the sovereign,
which it was death to counterfeit. To-
bacco was generally used as money In
Virginia up to 1860, fifty-seven years af.
ter the foundation of that colony. In
l64l the Legislature Of Massachusetts
enacted that wheat should be received in
payment of all debts; and the convention
in France, during the revolution, on a
proposition of Jcan-Bon Saint Adre, long
discussed the propriety of adopting wheat
as money. as the measure or value of all
things. Platina was coined in Russia
from 1923 to 1915. But the metals best
adapted and most generally used as coin
are copper, nickel, silver and gold; the
two first being now used for coins of small
value, to make change; the two latter
commonly designated the precious metals,
as measures of value and as legal tenders.
On the continent of Europe, compost
tion of silver and copper, called bullion,
has long been used for small coins, which
are made current at a much higher value
than the metals they contain. In China
silver is the principal currency, and is
merely ingot silver of uniform fnencss,
paid and received by weight. Spanish
dollars also circulate there, but only after
they have been assayed and stamped as
proof that they are of the standard fne-
ness. As Asia Minor produced gold, its
earliest coinage was of that metal. Italy
and Sicily possessing copper, bronze was
first coined there. Herodotus says the
Lydians were the first people known to
have coined gold and 'silver. They had
gold coius at the close OF the ninth cen.
tury. Il. c.; Greece proper only at the
close of the eighth century. b. C. Servi-
Us Tullius, the king Of Rome, made the
pound weight of copper current money
The Romans first coined silver money
2Sl b. c., and gold 207 Be.
