pearlash for bread that they die by inches.
Dyspepsia, that great monster disease OF
the country, that deranges the liver, brings

human victim, is half the time 'pcarlash."

WHAT DoEs IT MEAN?-No little curl.
osity has been excited by the fact that par
ties in this city are making Industrious
search for Dickle pennies Of 1853, paying
eagerly from fifteen 10 thirty per cent pre-
MUM for them. We presume there is
scarcely grocery, market stall or fruit stand
III the city that has not been visited by
these collectors OF tie coin in question. -
Another curious fact has been elected by
the demand for these pennies, and that j.
the search for them IN q quiet way must
have been IN progress for years, as II turns
out that they have been almost wholly with.
drawn from circulation. Ifany one having
quantity Of pennies Of different dates aud
issues on hand doubts this fact, lee him hunt
among the lot for the penny # 80, and he
will fnd them nearly ns scarce as hens
teeth. IS the coin is Of too recent date 20
be IN demand as relics for collections, the
accepted theory is that, by SOME accident Al
the time Of their coinage, these pennies con
tain large per ccntage Of gold, which fact
has been discovered by the parties engaged
in the search. The penny in question will
be remembered az bearing on 0ne face the
representation q q nondescript broken back
ed bird supposed to represent the Ameri-
can eagle Washington Star
