Engllsh Coinnge Chauges.

The coinage OF England, although it
has suffered less than that OF any Of the
older countries has still undergone grea!
debasement, which bas beEotten misery
and trouble enough to make her exper.
fence of great value. AT the time OF the
Norman Conquest the silver or money
pound weighed twelve ouncesithe system
OF coinage being the same as that Of Char.
lemague, and it was continued untouched
until the year 1900, when the standard
was tempered with by EiwardI l. By in
creasing the number OF shillings made
from u pound, he set perniciOus ex-
ample which was followed only too well
40 that in the reign OF Queen Elizabeth
fifty eight shillings instead Of twenty shil'
lings were coined out OF the pound weight
OF silver. Up to the reign OF Henry VIII,
although the weight waS decreased, the
sterling fneness OF coins was not debased;
hut that eminent head OF the church, after
dissipating the immense wealth which he
received from his father, resorted TO the
most disgraceful means 10 supply his riot
and extravaganza. He SO adullerated and
degraded the silver coinage that the
pound sterling contained but four ounces
OF silver, CO So. OF it being equivalent 10
the pound sterling OF FIVE hundred years
before. Under the reigns Of his children
Edward VI, Mary and EIiz Ibeth, ,he
fineness OF the coin was gradually restored
and It's degradation arrested so that !!
was the boast OF Elizabeth that she "had
conquered her peOpIe."-POpuLar Science

Many OF these production have very
curious history II it could only be traced.
Some Of them probably owe their origin
to names distinguished in our literature,
as Oliver Goldsmith, for in:tance, ia be-
lieyed in his earlier days TO have written
such compositions. Dr.. D. F. Rimbault
gives us the following particulars as to
some well.known favOrites.

MISSING LINK OR MONKEY.
Post.Mortem Examination OF III,
BOdy Of alp, the ChlmpanEee.


N. y. TrbunsOl Monday.
The two chipan1ees, NIP" and his sis.
ter "Tuck" have been separated by death
Nip dying at 3P.M. Thursday. They ar
rived a. the Aquarium about three
weeks ago. Nip contracted cold which
human skill and Tuck's tears could not
alleviate, and departed, leaving behind a
shaggy skin which will be stuffed. The
post mortem examination, at which no
coroner assisted, took place Saturday al.
ternoon, and drew together an interested
body Of medical and scientific gentlemen,
among them being Professor Hammond,
Professor Smith, DR.. james Z. Wood,
Professor Valentine Mott, DR.. Little,
Professor Sayre, DR.. Bates, Professor
Darling and DR.. Janeway.
DR.. E. G. spitzka, assisted by DR.. J. r.
Taylor, laid Nips physical anatomy bare,
and found that the cause Of death was
enteritis, with general tuberculosis OF
brains and lupgs. The physicians de.
clared that the brain looked strikingly
human. The diameter OF the Uranium
was found to be little more than four
inches, and the circumference fourteen
inches. The brain resembled the human
brain in It's convolutions, was about the
size OF that Of newly born child, and the
cerebrum oyerlapred the cerebellum the
requisite third OF an inchlt carry out the
human comparison. DR.. Spitzka said
that part OF the brain which is supposed
to do the talking, and which is called the
"Island Of Reil, was fairly developed in
Nip, who had only lacked association
and inherited habit" to be able 10 express
In words his opinion Of America. The
undeyeloped potentiality OF speech was
there. Those parts OF the brain which
answer to the intellectual faculties, pre-
dominated over those which are the seat
Of the automatic and reflex functions,
Dr.. Spiizka believed the autopsy settled
every point OF the controversy between
Professor Huxley and Professor Owen in
favor Of the former. A microscopic ex-
animation OF the brain and spinal column
will be made, and the result will be laid
before the Neurological Society, Of New
York. Before the doctors get through
with Nip, they may decide that what
there Is left Of him is entitled to funeral.

T~msearorn.s Omtiopk.

The Tmes-Recieso has this to saw of the
past and present of its camp: "Any ono
visiting Tuscarora a year ago and making
another visit now, would suppose at first
sight, that the camp had gone down very
much in the inter sal. Then, the streets
were crowded day and night; the saloons
were full of men from all parts Of the
country, and on all sides was heard the
sound Of the hammer. Now the streets
are comparatively quiet, but while the
rush and hurry Of a year ago is wanting.
Tuscarora is a much more substantial
town than it was then business is more
certain, and the class of men who are here
much more settled aud reliable. 1t was a
difficult matter then to find an unoccupied
house, and cabins were going up on every
hillside. Now the houses are also full, but
with this dif~ference-th the people who occu
py them expect to remain. Few, if any,
are idle, and those who really want work
have little trouble in finding it. Then it
was expected that Tuscarora would be an
other Virginia City now We know what it
really Is and arc satisfied with its future
prospects. Our mines never looked so
well as they do to-day, and at no time in
the history of Tusearora has business been
any better. Then scores of people walked
the streets hungry now there is no neces-
sity for any n to go without a meal.
Then. everything was overestinated-had
a fictitious value; now we give every prop
crty lis real value; and last but not least,
every man who had a twenty-dollar piece
was ready to put il into any wildcat claim
within ten miles of town now we examine
a mine before expanding a cent upon it.
Our town is steadily improving. and it is
the sort OF improvement that is likely to
be permanent

No OUTRAGE CommittcI,

The Elko Independent Publishes the fol-
lowing; 1.-THE geographic report of an
outrage being attempted upon the person
of Mrs. Denis K~earney, on the train near
Ogden, a couple Of days ago, is positively
denied by the company. The charge was
against a train man of the Central Pacific,
aud the company took immediate steps to
ascertain the facts in the ease with the
view of bringing the offender to justice,
they being unwilling to rest under the
stigma of retaining in their employ so base
and dangerous a man as this employe was
represented. A thorough investigation of
the case, however, clearly showed that no
insult whatever had been offered or in
tended to the lady, she having been merely
requested, two or three times, by the per
son in charge of the car to change her DO
sition upon the seat she was occupying, as
she was barring the passage. In the inter
est of humanity, the travelling public and
the railroad company, we cheerfully give
place to q refutation of the slanderous re-
port which has already gained publicity,
and can be productive Of naught but in
justice and Misrepresentation"

CRUELTY.
Three Husky Yanks Are Guilty OF
Cruelty n not Thfeyery.

Three representatives from Vermont are
now languishing in the county Jail until
they can get some rancher i'm from Dia-
mond Valley to swear that they are
brothers Of his'n, and are no horse thieves.
1t appears that they-though fresh look
ing-still reckon on the short-bit footing,
and have not much feeling for anything
outside OF coin-coin and government
shinplasters they were brought up to feel
for. Yesterday a ''big one'' walked in,
and after looking at Farmers horses, in
his stable on South Main street, picked
out a weasel-shaped pony, that Mr.. Far
mel had brought In from his ranch to sell,
and wanted to hire that particular one for
a trip out to his brothers, in Diamond
Valley. Mr.. Farmer thought it WAS
strange hat he would pick out that one. OF
all others, and then he didn't want a
saddle-another strange feature. He was
allowed to start off, however, but was
watched, as there were grounds for suspi-
cion. An officer, with helpers, were dis
patched on the road, and sure enough over
took the Vermon.cr who, with the two
others, were all astride the poor little
pony the one at the fore part Of the craft
had q bundle as big az a bale of cotton. and
the rear chap was trying to support a KNAPP
sack as large as q common Saratoga. Upon
the arrival Of officers the pony was re-
lieved and an invoice of the baggage was
taken, which proved the land from whence
they came, beyond cavil There was a
little wooden ship, a pair Of cloth shoes
the first Joshua ever wore Joshua is the
brother they claim they were going to
see); three Bartlett pocket-knivcs,
which looked as though they had been

Aunt Jezabel was so proud of 81 years ago

Saccarappa, some 40 miles. to visit her
aunt Patience; a chunk of molasses candy
that was made at the parting candy-pullins.
when the boys were about to leave home; q
copy of DR.. Watts hymns; a piece Of
gingerbread that was purchased at a
Fourth of July celebration on Boston
Common, 1877, by their grandfather-thc
first and last money, he was often heard to
remark, that he ever spent foolishly; q pair
of homemade wooden socks, that looked as
though they had been made to fit on to the
end of a post; a chunk" Of skim-milk
cheese; a batch of doughnuts that must
have been manufactured of blue clay, with
a light sprinhling Of graham flour and
salt-cut in the various designs Of men on
horseback, houses and so on down to the

worth for getting out there, when he could
hire a long backed horse like that for a

Death of yonn A. Dre,belDis.

The "Silver State Of September 30th
publishes the following OF a very good man:
John A. Dreibelbis died at l o'clock to-
day. He has been confined to his bed
since his return from a visit to the Atlantic
States two weeks ago. He came to Cali
fornia in 1850, and was Agent at the Round
Valley reservation during Buchanan's Adj
ministration. He was elected Sheriff of
Shasta county, California, from which
place be came to this county in 1861. Sub
%sequently he removed to Grant county,
Oregon, and represented that county in
the State Senate. He returned to Hum
