The 'Een-Ccnt Piece.

From the New York Tribune.l
If we correctly decipher the title of the
picture which adorus the west end of that
admirable work of art, the new tcn-cent
piece, it is intended to represent The late
Hon. VIM. NJ. Meredith of Pennsylvania,
who was secretary of the treasury under
President Taylor, in 1910, and of whom the
author of "Stalstical Records of Cabinet
Officers writes: @ Having tried, but in
vain, 10 obtain a proper notice of this gen
tleman, the present blank is a necessity
Precisely why his portrait should adorn so
small delusion as the new tcn-ccn piece
we are unable to say We have no reason
to doubt that he was Il man who fulfilled
his obligations. redeemed his promises, and
paid his debts. But Mr.. Secretary Rich
ardson seems to have taken the likeness of

edith looks as though he had been 4" set
Go"a hard" and did not enjoy it. Added
30 the mdliacal expression which the
photographer brings to his victims
countenancc by the request to -'sit easy
and look natural" there is Il look
of incffable disgust which seems TO
have settled there since he took his place
on the bill. When one reflects upon the
uncertainty of the promise which he
adorns, its smallncSs and worthlessness, its
liability to be passed for plain drinks by
the wayfarer and the topper, and its being
the lowest denomination of a currency
which the good pronounce mot worth

slightly varying pronunciation, il is not so
strange that he should be disgustcd.
Like all the other denominations of "ihc
chest currency in the world the ten-ccnt
piece is beautiful merely as Il work Of art.
We can suggest but a single improvement
1t does not seem quite the thing to adorn this
beautiful currency withportraits of persons
