A MEAN MAN.-He was s'too fall Of
utterance," but occasionally he would
mutter something to himself, when the
Squire would request him to keep
quiet; but no sooner would he get
through making his requests than Isaac
would begin his mumbling. Finally
the Squire got on his dignity, and put
the following to Isaac as settler:
Now, Isaac, I have requested you to
keep quiet several times, and if you
open your head again will fine you
SIS for contempt of court and send you
to jail for drunkenness" This put
Isaac out of time, and be arose from
his seat, walked to the door, stopped,

Glut Of Silver Coin in San Francisco.

The San Francisco Call says: BY what
appears to be general consent, the public
have ceased to take trade dollars for
more than ninety cents, From this
time labOrers should not be paid with
trade dollars, and we presume the coin
will cease to circulate, precisely as green
backs, for more than their actual value.
For the past few weeks loss has been in
CURED by merchants, mechanics and or
binary laborers, from the heavy discount
on this species of silver coin, and it is
well that the public have refused by
common consent to take it.
1t is probable that within the next few
weeks ordinary silver coin on this coast
will 90 in the same way rs have trade
dollars. An evening newspaper contem-
porary, in its commercial column, says:
Trade dollars were sold to-day at
ninety cents apiece in gold. Everybody
has conceded that they would come to
this, but few expected the result would
be attained so soon. The average price
of refined silver is twelve per cent. dis
count. There is still n slight profit in
coming it into trade dollars, but the
margin is so small that it must neccssa-
riIy diminish the amount of coinage.
Business men here are tired of wait
ing for congressional relief, and are
adopting various measures for selfprO-
lection. No uniformity of action has
been adopted, and it is doubtful if it can
he secured. But essentially the same
result is reached in different ways. That
result for the present means ninety cents
for trade dollars and ninety-two cents for
half dollars. Congress may debate the
subject for weeks to come, rs it has for
weeks past; may increase the legal ten
der limit for silver to 500, $50, or 800,
but there is one thing congress cannot
dot cannot annul the laws of trade
