HIS CRAVEN IRELAND.


Mr.. Berry Lfennell, writing in Land and
Water, says: One matter which | think
will impress most strangers with feeling
Of disappointed surprise is Z visit to the
Cathedral City of DOwnpatrick. 1t is neith-
cr the city itself nor the fine substantial
cathedral on the hill that eyokes this feel
ing. They are well enough, trim, thriving,
comfortable-lOOkinG on the whole, and need
not fear comparison with other cathedrals
or cathedral cities of Ireland. But some
thing more than disappointment, something
like indignant surprise, takes possession OF
one OF being led up to what is said to be
held sacred as the grave of St. Patrick, and
which as such is visited, l am told, by null
tiludes of American strangers every year.
II lies in the highest and most central posi-
ton in the otherwise decently kept church.
yard surrounding Downpatrick Cathedral,
and is the one spot of earth in the whole
place that appears given up to complete
neglect and desecratiOn. Around are graves
and gravestOnes, ancient and modern, all
wel-ordered and neatly kept, some show
inc the recent touch of hands directed by
loving care, while the one which strangers
would have expected to find most honored
and revered is the only dishonored grave
among them all. The unsightly-looking
hole, unmarked by cross or slab, now half
filled with loose rubble Of broken bricks,
stones and earth, is disgrace to the peo-
pie of Down, who, be they Protestants or
Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1874-12-04

! ONE CENT BUSINESS. There is q mar
in this city, says the New York San, whc
Is amassing handsome fortune by buying
and selling pennies, two and three cent pie
ces, and five cent nickles. In many of the
newspaper offices, news depots, ferry Off
ces, retail houses where cheap goods are
sold, bakeries, and other places the accu.
mutation of small coin very often becomes
so large as to be cumbersome. Ii cannot
be disposed OF, for coin is so.-plenty that
customers object to taking it in change in
any great quantity, and in business houses
where it is needed the regular sources of
supply are always ample. The coin might
be sent to the Philadelphia Mint for re-
demptlon, but the requirements of the re-
Gemptlon department are enough to dis
courage any business man. To send pen-
Lies to the mint they must first be sorted,
and wrapped in packages of five dollars
each. Coin of each separate mintage must
be put together. 1t will not do to mix the
oid-tashioned coppers with the bright or
brOnzed-cOlOred nickeis, nor can a two or
three cent piece be mixed with the pennies.
If they are packed in this way they are
shipped back to the sender without DELAY
or notice of any kind. The law also pre-
scrlbes that the coins shall be packed i'm
iron-bound boxes, and shipped at the send
h
of transportation is considerable. The Of
ticials count the money at their leisure, and
sometimes the sender does not hear from
his consignment in nearly year. lie thus
loses the use Of his money for that length
of time. This combination of vexations
details prevents those who have an accu-
mutation Of coin from sending it to the
mint, and it seems as though the officials
at Philadelphia intended that they should
not be troubled with it.
Every day man rides to the newspaper
and other offices in buggy, and buys the
coin which has been taken in from the news
boys and the customers. For the pennies
anu wv OShI llCCCS lbC piJo uluCIE-SGFen
cents a hundred, and for the three and five
cent nickles he gives ninety-nine cents for
a dollars worth. The sellers are glad to
dispose Of their coins at this discount. The
man then rides to about the only trades
men in the city who desire n quantity of
pawnbrokers-and to them
he sells the coins at par, taking their notes
for three months in payment.
The pawnbrckers who have shops among
the poorer classes of people say that they
need small denominations of the fractinal !
or coin, as many of their loans do /
not exceed ten or fifteen cents Many /
