Different Kinds of Money.

When DR.. Barth, the great African
traveller, went from the centre of Europe
to the centre of Africa-to Karro and
Timbuctoo-his experience furnished a
better lesson on the use of money than has
been furnished by all the political econo-
mists in the world. The good man was
very far from thinking that was any part
of his mission but he has given us the
facts, and they arc invaluable. He left
Europe; crossed the Mediterranean to
Tripoli; proceeded to Mourzouk; then
down to Karro and finally on to the Nj
ger, at Timbuctoo. How did he accom-
plish his exchange? Well he begins with
bids Of exchange on some central banker /;
then he gets notes, &C.; he proceeds to
Tripoli and finds that bank notes won't 60
twenty miles into Africa, but they are par
with the merchants of Tripoli trading with
France so he exchanges all his money for
hard silver dollars.
That is the money from Tripoli to
Mourzouk silver dollars will avail 20 lon
ger for exchange; people think gold and
silver very good things, no doubt, but
people who have traded in Karro would
rather have something else for their goods.
What is it Why, they must have
strings Of little shells. These were very
small, beautiful shells, thousand strung
together that is the currency for thous-
ands of miles, so DR.. Barth had to ex-
change his silver dollars for strings Of
shalls and whom ba had romitto noas from,
Europe it had to be put into something
which could be exchanged for shells
With what infinite disgust the hard mon
ey people must look upon the civilization
on one hand and the barbarism on the
other. On one side they wanted no sill.
yer because they had shells Nobody
wanted hard money but enlightened, com
mercial people who lived along the coast
Of Barbary!

Bill, and SO we don't want to pass you in

Bill, we are surprised.
There never was so ungrateful people

after all has been done for you, to see let

The ORIGIN OF THE LOCOMOTIVE
In the matter of priority of invention in,
or rather of attempts at, land propulsion
by steam, the French may we'll claim to
be our deoanciers, and we not think that
any true Englishman will be inclined to
grudge them this honor. The first steam
carriage seems to have been made by a
Frenchman, Cugnot, in 1850, that same
marvellous year which witnessed the birth
of Napoleon L., Wellington, Humboldt,
Mehemet Ali, Lord Castlereagh, Sir E..
|. Brunei, Cuvier, and the FIRST patent of
Arkwright, the first patent of Watt, as
also some other events almost as great in
their cventful influence on tue present
era. An engine made by Cugnot is still
in existence in the Conservatoire dss Arts
ct Metiors at Paris. It has copper
bb56iiilss..; very much like u common kettle
without the handle and spoat, fsrFii,s =
with steam pair Of 13.inch single-ac,ing
cylinders. The engine propels q single
driving wheel, which is roughened on its
periphery. Altogether this engine bars
considerable testimony to the mcohl;ical
genius of its inventor. 1t was uDsuc-
cessful, having got overturned once Or
twice ON the very bad roads then existing
10 France, and it was put On one side
1t is stated however, that arrangements
were made in 1901, putt to work in the
presence of Napoleon Bonaparte. The de-
parture, however, of Napoleon for Egypt
prevented the trial-a circumstance which
recalls Fulton's subsequent unsuccessful
negotiations with Napoleon for aid in at
tempting marine propulsion by steam
Watt, then, in 1854, patented a locomo-
tive engine, the boiler of which was to be
"of ,oood," hoped like beer barrel.--
Watt, however, bad not much faith in
steam carriages, and he objected to the
attempts made 10 this direction, in 1884,
by William Murdoch, his very able as
sistant. The miniature engine made by
Murdoch in. that year is still carefully
preserved at Soho. Careful and elaborate
researches, such as those lately made by
Mr.. Zerah. Colburn, into the history Of
the locomotive, seem to more and more
confirm existing impressions as to the
great part done by Trevethick in the in

THE BOLD GOVERNOR EYRE AND THE
BULLS OF EXETER HALL.

BULLS Uk EAETEh HALL.
A Song for the Street.)
On the right of the Strand, as you walk to the
West,
The street of all London the finest and best,
You'll see Greek word on portico tall
The building behind it is Exeter Hall.
There people resort to hear spouters abuse
Mahommedans, Catholics, Pagans, and Jews;
Ex-drunkards talk cant, Irish cergymen brawl
And fanatics howl nonsense in Exeter Hall.
The victim just now, of its blather and blare,
Is a brave British gentleman, Governor Eyre,
Who, for saving Jamaica with powder and ball
Has reused all the malice of Exeter Hall.
The Hall has its pets, whom you must not at
tack,
And chiefly it pets, Quashi-Bungo the black
And ifQuashi-Bungo quotes words from st. Paul
It's ready to kiss him, is Exeter Hall.
At times Quashi-Bungo from Scripture refrains
And chops up white people, and scoops out their
. brains:
Uprises at once the philanthropist squall,
"of course you provoked him." says Exeter
For some horrible murders performed by the
Pet,
Eyre gave him lesson he'll never forget,
"You monster, you wretch Quashi-Bungo to
maui;
even hang you at Newgate," cries Exeter
Hall.
"We'll hear" says John Bull, ''hold your jab-
Der and row,
"Pve known my old friend, Mr.. Eyre before
now"
"Hes Nero, a Jeffreys, Governor WALL"
Cries, screaming with passion, mad Exeter-Hall
Now John stops his ears TO fanatical spite,
And suspects Quash-Bungo was served very
right,
But he Il hear the whole story, not told in the
And spasmodic bewailings of Exeter Hall.
But if, when the tale of Jamaica is told,
The Queen gives her thanks to the Governor.

the dogs, or brought into requisition the net
and the club, and restricted the unconditional
freedom of the city to the superior genus.
The condition made applicable to the low
er order OF animals, was the inevitable muz-
ze, to which little preventive appendage
there seems to be so strong municipal OPP
position. 1t is true, we believe, that SIRIUS
does not yet rise and set with the sun nor,
indeed, have we the dog-days, Notwithstanding
July is near at hand. While, however, we
have not the dog-days, it is indisputable that
the dogs have their days, at least in Norfolk /;
where, indeed the adage is practically veri-
fed, that, unmuzzled, "every dog has his
day" 1t has not been necessary either, to
cut their tails off, as did ALoIBIADEs the eau
dial appendage of his famous animal, in order
to attract the public attention to the fact we
have announced. But, we submit, in all ear
nestness, that the Atheuians in having their
attention attracted to the tai-less dog of AL
cIBIADEs had far less serious apprehensions,
than the people Of Norfolk should have, of its
muzZle-less canine population.

What Does He Mean?

Brigadier General GURNEY, formerly of
New York, now of Selma, Alabama, is of
opinion-and a very good opinion it is, too
that the tax of cents pound on cotton is
destructive to that interest. He adds:
"Northern men will leave the State if it
shall be imposed; and that these Southern
States can never be purged of their disloyalty
without the emigration of Northern men"
We presume he meant immigration, but
the fact is, that if the present Congress is to
be taken as measure of the Union sentiment
of the North, then the General was right, for
there is very little loyalty to anything but
party among the members of this thirty-ninth
Congress.
