The leaders of the faithful and the working
men Of the rank and file, for some reason, at
tempt to make light of Kellogg's illness and
though it is almost certain that he is not vet
out Ct danger, they assert that his condition
has at no time been critical.
Our reporter on calling at the residence of
the sick man this morning, was informed by
the negro doorkeeper that DR.. Smythe had
made an early visit and pronounced Kellogg
better.
There were many rumors on the street as to
his condition, and one report, erroneous OF

TOO MANY SYPHERS,

The Republican of yesterday says that j.
Hale Sypher has returned to his plantation in
St Mary, and will superintend his sugar cror
which promises to yield 5000 hogsheads. We
think the ''organ'' has gone it too strong or
the CIPHER question this time. There are two
Syphers in St. Mary, we know, but We think
these two cyphers (0O) too many in that croI
estimate. Thirty hogsheads of sugar will
fairly represent Sypher's planting enterprise,
Not enough to pay the interest on the debt
due for the purchase price of the plantation.

New Twenty.Cent Silver Coin.


The following extract about the coinage O
twenty-cent silver pieces is taken from the re.
port OF the directors Of the United States
Mint:
"a bill authorizing the coinage of TWEEN.
ty-cent silver piece passed the Senate at the
last session Of Congress. The issue of coin
of that denomination will not only be in &C.
cordance with decimal system of money, but
will remove difficulty of making change
which now exists on the Pacific coast and
Texas, where the five-cent nickel-copper coins
do not circulate, and where it was formerly
the practice to apply the term bit two
bits, four bits respectively, to the fractions
Of the Spanish dollar which circulated there.
The custom appears to continue, notwith-
standing the disappearance of those coins
from circulation. Accordingly, if payment
of one bit is to be made, and twenty-five
cent coin is used for the purpose, ten-cent
coin, one bit, is returned as the proper
change, five cents being lost in the transac-
ton by the purchaser. The issue OF a 90
cent coin will no doubt remove the difficulty.
Inquiry is occasionally made as to why the
coinage of the five cent silver piece was dis
continued. The reason appears to have been
that it would, on the resumption Of specie
payment, be likely to expel from circulation
and drive to the treasury for redemption the
five cent nickel-copper coins.
At the first glance this may appear probable,
but when it is considered that sthe original
law authorizing the issue of nickelcopper five
cent coin provided for its redemption in the
lawful money Of the United 6Ds, it will be
seen that there must come tnqe when it will
be- superior to the fve-cent silver coin. and
for the reason that it till be exchlhgeable for
notes redeemable in gold coins. The silver
coin, which must have greater nominal than
intrinsic value. and is not redeemed in lawful
money and gold coin, will become the inferior
s,ur.ushv. The fve-cent nickel-copper coin
aa ssGi se to as s ssns of
for Zen coin of that denomination, the
provision Of law disseminating the issue of the
hve-cent silver coin appears to have been
proper"

have disappeared with the female organist at
St Bonafaces Catholic Church, of which he
was pastor, to the great CONSERVATION of the
whole Catholic diocese. A statement that he
