standing lear the corner off and Smith

claiming against the negroes who cheer

in his hand, which he spread out, and
maudliugly exclaimed: "Been fighting
for (hic) for freedom, (hic) for you COL
ored (hic) colored citizens, (hic) yes,
sir, colored citizens-these six years;
aud now (hic) you cheer the son Of sea
cook" Then he'd mako . fist dive at

yell a hiccup out; ITO hell with you,

The proceedings of our State Leglsls-

Of laws will serve n year in Congress,

for many years has been eighteen hun

The standard fneness of the gold and silver
coinage is 100000 of the precious metal in
each case, to 100000 of pure copper alloy.
In 1853 the standard of the silver coinage was
lowered in each coin except the dollar, which
remained at the old standard 1t will be seen
from the above table that the silver dollar
weighs 28'5 grains more than two half dollars,
and is thus worth nearly $1'08 according to
the new standard. The object of this discre-
pancy is to prevent our silver dollar from
being thrown out of circulation in the Spanish
colonies, the Spanish dollar being worth about
$1.06; and also to force the gold dollar into
home circulation, by rendering it profitable to
store the silver coin of the same denomination
as bullion.
The nickel coinage consists of 25 per cent. of
nickel and IS per cent. of copper. The five
cent nickel is the only one of our coins which
is constructed on the metric system, each coin
weighing five grammes, and being two cent?
metres in diameter.
The alloy of the bronze coinage consists of
3 per cent of zinc, per cent. Of tin, and 95
per cent. of copper.

WEST ARCH STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The difficulties surrounding this elegant church
streets, are rapidly passing away; and In few
days, 1t is likely, the congregation will have
Pastor. and all pecuniary troubles surmounted.
A meeting of the Church was held on Wednes-
day evening, at which the Rev. T. NJ Cunning
S te as Il wss sTre1
attended, and the entire proceedings were
marked by a spirit of earnestness, harmony,
and good works rarely witnessed in church as
semblages. AS 1t was convened for the purpose
of selecting Pastor, it was matter of great
and absorbing interest for the future welfare of
the congregation and neighborhood, and those
billues.
The stumbling block in the way of the useful
ness of the West Arch and many other churches
in Philadelphia and elsewhere, was shown to
building and ground, To remove this two pro-
positions were before the people, though not
officially before the meeting. One emanated
from tn Second Presbyterian Church, Seventh
street, below Arch tOld School, same as the
West Arch), the other from the Christian Street
Presbyterian Church (New SCHOOL, Tenth and
Christian streets.
That from the Second Church was presented
considered, and unanimously accepted The
proposition is that the two corporations unite
under the pastoral charge of Rev. +. r.. Beadle,
ID. D., with an equal number OF Elders, Deacons,
and Trustees from the two bodies. The debt is
TO be entirely paid of. and as soon as possible

put in the most thorough order as well as the
mission" at Sixteenth and Pearl streets. the
Sunday School reinvigorated, and everything
done TO render the "West Arch Street Church
OF the Second Presbyterian Church, a useful,
enterprising and truly missionary church.
During the evening the proposed union was
ably discussed by the Moderator, Rev. DR.. Ohm
stead. Professor Saunders, Governor Pollock,
Theodore Cuyler ]. w. Boyd. William L. Snod-
grass, John A. Gardner, j. II. Coyle, William
Main, and other gentlemen, and the result was
the hearty and unanimous acceptance Of the
proposition from the Second Church.
The future of the West Arch Is quite promis-
ing. With an eminently pious man, devoted
to the service of his Divine Master, for pastor
combined with the well-Inown pulpit eloquence
OF Rev. DR.. Beadle, and the handsomest church
edifce in the city, free from deb, we predict
that strong, active, and working people viii
be gathered there second to none in Philadel
phia, and with Sunday School large in mum
bers and surprising in interest. IL Is a move
certainly be blessed from ON high.

CITY INTELLIGENCE.



THE UNITED STATES CuRRENcY-A Box OF
SPECIMENS TO BIZ SENT TO THE PARIS Exposr-
TIoN.-Under the personal superintendent of
"a. Loudon Snowden, Esq, chief coiner of the
Mint, there has been prepared at that institu-
ton double set of our national coinage which,
Tor beauty and accuracy, have seldom if ever
been surpassed The box containing the
coins will be placed in the window of Bailey's
jewelry store for few days, to enable the pub
lie to inspect them, previously to their being
forwarded to Paris, where they will occupy
prominent place in the great International Ex-
position.
The box is about one foot in width by a foot
and q half in length, and is covered with taste
fully embossed red velvet, bearing on the lid
a silver plate, with the inscription gu. S.
Coins.n The interior of the lid is covered with
white satin, and contains as an inscription,
painted in old English text and beautifully
ornamented, the words "Coinage of the United
States, 1862 below which is the national
bird perched upon shield.
There are two specimens of the coinage of
each denomination one with the diverse and
the other with the reverse exposed to view
each coin being indented in blue velvet. The
gold, silver nickel, and bronze are all repre-
sented, and each separate specimen is perfect
in outline and fnish There has long been ex-
tant notion that our national coinage is in
ferior in design and execution to that of almost
every other country; but we consider the
notion entirely without foundation and shall
be disappointed if there is to be found at the
Paris Exposition a set of any coinage for the
current year which can vie with the specimens
of our own which will be present. While in
outward appearance they will equal the coins
of any other nation, in fineness and uniformity
they cannot be approached.
The following table shows the weight in
grains, of each of the national coins:-

IMPROVEMENTS ON THE RIVER FRoNT.-The
public owe much to the Philadelphia CONNER

improvements they have made and contem-
plate making during the present season on
their property, located on the river 'front.' in the
First Ward. This Company possess nearly
three million feet of ground, located on the Della
ware river between the Navy Yard aud League
Island. In order to keep pace with, and afford
greater facilities for the increasing commerce
of Philadelphia, it is proposed to build a
which has railroad connection, via the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, with all the railroads entering
the city. One-half of the capital stock of the
Company is to be expended for these improve
ments, thus enhancing the value OF the pro-
perty and making the investment not only a
paying one. but also aid in extending our COM
merce. Attention is directed TO the card of the
Company, in another column, inviting subscr1p-
tions to their stock.
