AMATEUR ERs-Among the many nov
elites to which our country and the present
day have given birth, are amateur papers;
small sheets, and even, in SOME instances pa
pers and magazines Of considerable size, edited,
and, sometimes, printed BY boys from twelve
years of age aud upwards. The Academy Jour
nal, originally printed as we'll a published by
three boys at ST. Johns Academy, was one OF
the pioneers among them, aud within the last
two years they have sprung up, like mushrooms,
all over the country ard now three boys are to
be sent to the Vienna Exposition with little
press and some type, to print and publish a
weekly paper there, as a specimen OF young
American Observation-Disclosures. At the read
ing room of St. Johns Academy, formerly the
office of the Superintendent Of Public Schools,
III Prince street more than hundred OF
these amateur papers are received, halllng
from all sections; from Augusta and Bidleford
in Maine to Galveston and Houston in Texas,
and from Baltimore to San Francisco Many
of them are neatly, and even elegantly printed,
by mere boys, aud though it must be confessed
that the matter in some is of rather doubtful
literary character there are many that show
sound sense iu their conductors, and promise
much for the future of American journalism.
Those who feel an interest in the efforts Of
boys, would do we'll to call and see the St.
Johns reading room, which any of the students
will be pleased to show. 1t Is worth Inspection.

THE PAYMENT OF SILVER COIN.
Statement Of the Director Of the Mint

WASHINGTON. Oct. 80.
AS there appears TO be some misappre-
hension on the part of the public, in re-
lation to the purpose of the government in
paying out silver COIN the following ex-
PLANTATION has been furnished by the direc-
tor Of the mint In this, as in other coun-
tries where gold is the sole standard or
measure of value, silver coins are over
valued for the purpose of rendering them
inexportable. They are manufactured and
issued on government account, the law,
however, placing directly or indirectly
limit on the issue to prevent redundancy.
If issued, the returns of specie payment
beyond the requirement Of the public for
change, such coin will not maintain their
purchasing power with standard coins ow-
ing to various causes in this and other
countries. Silver has declined in value to
point at which the government can pur-
chase it with gold and manufacture it into
small coin and pay it ont at Il fair profit.
The government has recently purchased a
quantity Of silver bullion sufficient for its
purposes at 1929 cents per standard ounce,
and will manufacture it into coin at the
fixed legal rate of 124 4-l0 cents per ounce.
The difference between purchasing and the
issuing rate being within Il fraction of IL
cents pei ounce or about 109 per cent on
gold coin paid in purchase.
This operation is believed to be more
profitable one for the treasury AMI also
more advantageous to the public in the
present condition of the money market
than the sale of gold for legal tender notes,
and is not scheme for the resumption of
specie payments but simply in compliance
with the mint loans \ dollar in United
States currency will purchase little more
gold in the market than Il dollar of small
silver coins Dollars will therefore soon
find their level and unless there be Il rise in
both the prices of gold and silver, small
coins must circulate currently with paper
money. The Government has in the pos
session of the Assistant Treasurers about
$500 900 in silver coin, and at the minis and
assay offices, in silver bullion and coin
about 50, 900, 900 which is ample for the
present. This mode of paying out silver
coin will be continued until circumstances
shall dictate Il contrary course as proper
The government will exact the full seign-
forage required by law, bnt will not under
take to control the disposition of coin after
it is paid out The coin will then become
the property of holders, who may do
what they please with it. This course was
not decided upon until it had been fully
considered by the secretary of the treasury.

a SAD CAsE.-A sad case Of young
married couple stricken down with typhoid
fever is related at Boston. The wife was
first attacked and in caring for her the hus-
band contracted the disease and soon died.
The news was kept from the wife, who
seemed to he recovering. One day, she
asked why her husband did not come to see
her, and on some excuse being given, she
said: " know why he does not come !;
he is dead From that time she sank
rapidly, and, although everything was done
that mortal skill could, she soon passed
away.

Special to the Globe.
Burlington Ministerial Association.

NERVOUSNESS, oct. 90
At2I o'clock the Association rc-assem-
blcd.
The first subject discussed was as it
possible for Il Methodist preacher to keep
the Methodist discipline" The discussion
was opened by Rev Mr.. Bond, who, in
very pleasant manner, referred to the para
graph in the discipline which spoke of
food, and thought all those who partook of
the dinner in the vcstry violated that rule.
He pointed out certain requirements which
it was, in these days, impossible to keep,
yet it was necessary to have a standard.
though all rules would not apply to all
men. The next speaker was Rev. Mr..
Foster, SEN, who thought there may be
points which are difficult to keep, yet
thought it possible. Other criticisms
were made by Rev. NIessrs. Austin. Por
ter, and others.
For the first time during the meeting
Rev. Mr.. Gregg and Rev. Mr.. IIulburd
were present, and the latter gentleman en-
tered into the discussion which was long
and interesting.
The next question was taken up, viz,
Is the day of miracles past ?" The dis
cusson was commenced by Rev. Mr.. Chase
Of Pauton, who declared the day of mira
clcs was not past, and cited strong examples
in support of his theory.
Rev. j Austin Of Monkton, held to
the same doctrine and also substantiated
his belief by we'll known examples. A
sketch of a sermon was presented by W w
Foster of Pittalord.
The next place of meeting was fixed at
Rutland, in February, 1874.
The evening session was adjourned for a
temperance meeting in School House Hall,
Mt o'clock, to be addressed by some of
the ministers of The association and Mr.
Grogan. Exhortatlons were made that
there be full attendance. The meeting
was considered one of the most beneficial,
prosperous and encouraging. All enjoyed
themselves.
| The minutes were then read and after
| prayer by Rev. ID p lIurlburd singing of
the doXology and bencdiction by Rev. Mr..
Chase, the session closed.
