The Influence Of Pretty women
I'm VynSFsEngfOn.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Republican, Radical sheet,
writes as follows:
But just as long as women are weak
and men are powerful, some of the evils
of the department will never be remedi-
ed. 1t Is so much more comfortable to a
jaded man, worn out in the arduous du-
| ties as head of bureau, to see a fresh,
young, pretty faca1 woman at an adjoin-
ing desk, rather than one with all the
sweet juices of life squeezed out of her,
whether by age or misfortune, it matters
not which. The first one is the oil of
the machinery of every day life the
latter is the adhesive gum which needs
cleansing away. Women who look with
longing eyes to an active life in the De-
partments at Washington, had better con-
suit their mirrors first, unless Secretary
Boutwell, makes new laws to meet indi-
vidual cases. 1t is true, few 'scrones"
may be found in the basement sof the
building, but as you ascend into the up
per realms of the castle, new visions of
beauty greet the eye until the spectator
Is lost in a dazzling dream Of enehaat-
ment as glorious In its bewilierment as a
Turkish harem. In many cases these
handsome young women belong to
Washington families They have good
homes, with the comforts of life, without
paying for them. This enables them to
spend their wages in the adornment of
their persons. These are girls whose
lives Mrs. Swisshelm so bitterly deplor-
ed. These are the women who practice
the Grecian bend and who dot our ave-
nues Of brilliant afternoon as the but
terfies do the clover heath. Petted dar-
lings at home, petted darlings at the
Treasury, no wonder they are spared
their duties if they have a headache, or
a new dress to make. No soldiers widow
or starving daughts of the Republic can
drive them from their warm nests for the
reason ''that thing of beauty is a joy
forever" Gen. Schneck says he has tried
in vain to get place for young girl
who had two brothers killed in the army,
and who lost her father also in the army
There are other beautiful women there,
the mention of whose names is enough
to bring the blush to every honest wo-
mans cheek, some public mans pretty
plaything, and yet for such as those the
widows and daughters of our Doble sol
diers must stand aside and sing the "soDg
of the shirt or another quite as sad
Has the sun Of another day arisen
With trembling form and bowed head we
shall wait and see.

What Has Passed for Money.

Many things have been used at differ
ent times for money: Cowrie shells in
Africa; wampum, or beads made of clam
shells, by the American Indians; soap in
Mexico. The Carthaginians used leather
as money, probably bearing some mark
or stamp. Frederick II, at the siege of
Milan, reviving nIis custom, issued
stamped leather as money. La 1850,
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 silver nail in the middle
Salt is the money in Abyssinnia; Goldfish
in Iceland and Newfoundland. "Livlng
money" slaves and oxen, passed current
in ancient Greece and among the Anglo
Saxons, in payment of debts. Adam
Smith says that, in his day, there was
village in Scotland, where it was not un-
common for women to carry nails instead
of money to the bakers shop and to the
ale house Marco Polo found in China,
money made from the bark of the null
berry tree, bearing the stamp of the SOW
ereign, being the earliest specimen Of
paper money, to counterfeit which was
punished with death Tobacco was gen.
orally used as money in Virginia up to
1860, fifty seven years after the founda
ton of that colony, and men bought
wives for such weight of tobacco; while
in Canada the beaverskin being the great
staple, it was in like manner made unit,
and all transactions estimated in beaver.
The Legislature Of Massachusetts once
enacted that wheat should be received in
payment Of all debts, and the Conven-
ton in France, during the revolution, on
the proposition of lean Bon Saint An
drea, long discussed the propriety of
adopting wheat as money, as the measure
Of the value of all things. Platina was
coined in Russia from 1928 to 1845.
But the metals best adapted aud most
generally used as coin, are copper, nickel,
silver, and gold, the first two being now
used for coins of small value, to make
change the two latter, commonly de-
signated 'the precious metals" as meas
ures of values and legal tenders. On
the continent of Europe a composition
of silver and copper, called bullion, has
long been used for small CONS, which are
made current at much higher value
than that of the metals they contain.
In China Sycce silver is the principal
currency. 1t is merely ingot silver OF a
uniform fineness, paid and received by
weight. Spanish dollars also circulate
there, but only after they have been
stamped as proof that they are OF the
standard fineness. As Asia Minor pro-
iuced gold, its earliest coinage was OF
