THAT BARGAIN.
Press Comment Upon It.

New York, May "a. The Times says
the impression is that the recent cabi-
net changes were simply devised to
enable Conk.ing to purchase Came
ron's influence at Cincinnati. They
will hurt him more than they will help
him. The fact that it commits :the
administration to his interest, in the
public estimation might have won
him some votes six months ago, but
it will cost him quite rs many now.

TIE First American Coins.

Wampum-that is, strings Of shells
ground down so that each piece was
about the siza of grain of corn was
used by the Indians for ornament and
| for barter. The early colonists, through
trading with the Indians, became accus-
| toned to the article, and used 1t to some
extent among themselves. But as it
would not be taken among the merchants
in Europe for goods ordered by them, q
metallic currency was soon demanded.
In 1862, therefore, the General Court
of Massachusetts issued at Boston some
silver pieces Of the value of twelve and
of six English pennies each. These
coins were merely round, fiat pieces of
silver, with g N. E." (New England) on
the one side, and the value, XII. or VI,
on the other. The frugal authorities
wasted no money on engraving, not even
announcing the year III which the coins
we're issued.
The coinage was, however, SO distaste-
fui, because of the absence of any design,
that another series was at once issued,
on some Of which is a scraggy oak-tree,
inclosed In circle of dots, outside of
which are the words +" Massachusetts, in,
while round the edge on the reverse is
the remainder of the legend, "New
England, An DOM" On this reverse
is the date, 1862, in the center, with the
mineral Of value, XII, VI, III. or II,
below 1t. On others of this design is q
pine tree; and while Of both these de-
signs occasional issues took place during
nearly thirty years, yet the date 1862 is
the only one used.
Charles the Second, it is said, regarded
this coinage of the colony as an en-
croachment on his prerogative. We be-
ieve, however, that his dislike was over
come by the statement that the design
was a memorial of the famous oak-hee
hiding place of his father st. Nicb0-
las for September.

The Indian War.

e was on the 18th OF June that Gen.
Custer and his command fell in massacre
ct the hands Of Sitting Ball and his
Sioux followers, and now, over two
months from the time, there are no as
surances that the blood&hiraty enemy has
been in any way punished for the deed.
More than this, there are no indications
that the red foe will ever receive the
deserved chastisement-a fact that is
nothing less than q national humiliation,
since it reflects upon our power to cope
with the hostile tribes of the West, as
well as encourages the Indians TO further
insubordination. The movements Of the
combined forces OF Gems. Terry and
Crook, being too much limited III num-
bers for such an emergency, appear to
have been managed most cautiously-so
cautiously, indeed, that tine willy Sioux
warriors, not wishing to risk an attack
that might rob them Of the glory of their
late victory, are likely to effect sue
cessful retreat northward and out of
harms way, with their families and port
able property. This retreat is q piece
of rare g STRATEGY" inasmuch as it prom
Uses to put them on safe ground for the
winter-where they can rest, contem-
plate their prowess, and prepare for a
new incursion upon their white and red
enemies this side of fhe line In the
spring. That the Sioux Indians are
adopts at such system of war practice
is proved by their record in 1862, when
they retired to neutral British ground
after numbering 500 innocent Minnesota
settlers. This time the Sioux Indians
go into the same British regions, though
not in the same quarter, and are vel
coined by their own people dwelling in
the Queens possessions just north OF
the Minnesota line, 5000 strong. It is
pity that the red villains should thus
escape, but they probably viii, however
much it may appear Like outwitting ou1
military commanders.
It is said that warlike Indians are
scarcely eveg attacked by white troops,
but are attacking parties. They strike
and run. They get scalps and then
skBlk. It is this way with the Sitting
Bull crowd. They beguiled Custer by
leading him into trap, where he be-
came helpless, and then attacked him IL

England,s Historic Castle.

All changes have mattered little to the
old castle, which has seen them come
and go, and given shelter to al inmates
IN their turn, inclosing their splendors
and their SORROWS impartially within Its
gray walls, preserving their names here
and there in a gallery or lawn, serene
and Indifferent like the green earth her
self, which takes no notice what kind OF
petty creatures we are who walk about
her fields and woods. The Kings and
the Queens pass on like q long process
sion, every one leaving some little trace,
no one affecting much the royal old
house which is hospitable to all. Some
have built, and some have mended ;
some have planted the great trees and
made the soft green glades of the park,
which are 50 delightful to us now ;
others have hung the walls with carv-
ings and tapestries, and thrown up
those vaulted roofs, and smoothed those
princely terraces. Queen Victoria goes
on doing now what her predecessors
began to do 400 years ago. Apart alto
gether from the big imperial history
with all its political changes, you might
write a little peaceful history of all the
English sovereigns without ever stirring
out of Windsor.
And now that they are in their graves
some under our feet in st. Georges,
with the music pealing over them daily,
like King Charles in his pail of snow ;
some in Westminster, some in other
tonbs less royal-their old home stands
as fair as ever, remembering them and
making them remembered, stronger and
richer and more beautiful for each of
them, yet surviving all.-Ma's. Olipho,at,
ST. Nicholas for September.
