The SILVER DoLLAR.-.Up TO 1853 the
silver dollar weighed 4l2! grains, nine
tenths fine, and all the smaller coin exactly
the same proportion. Silver had become
SO scarce that change could not be obtained,
and.the fractions of dollar were reduced
in weight about seven per cent, the two
half dollars weighing 3S4 grains, and the
smaller ones in proportion. The dollar was
not changed, and has no been in circula-
ton since about 1851. If one could be
found it was a legal-tender up to 1873,
when it was dropped from the list of legal
coins. The smaller coins after 1853 were
tender only for five dollars.
AK EXPLANATION OF THE MILD WEATHER
DR.. L. =. Voolfolk, of Lexington, KY,
says that the present mild winter weather
vindicates his well-known weather theory
that heavy In. draws the Arctic
cIrFeu ii firing. taking with
them cold weather and great snowfalls, and
giving to the other part Of the world mild
weather and no snow. The cold at the
Crimea in l854-5 gave to this continent an
open winter, and now tile bornbardment Of
Pleyna is bringing us the same condition of
weather as then.
