Early Forms Of Metal Money.

The first forms which could be called
by the name of money says the Popular
Science Monthly, were ingots in various
shapes, stamped or sealed with the seal
Of the ruler, as a certificate Of the quail
ity and weight of the piece, no attempt
being made 30 to fashion the coin as to
guard against alterations of weight.
Some Of the early pieces were stamped
on but one side, and it was only by very
gradual steps that the handsome circu-
lar pieces which vi know as coins were
evolved. But these are still defined by
Jevons IS ingots, of which the weight
and fineness are certified by the integ-
rity Of the designs upon the surface of
the metal. The stamping Of the bits of
metal has always been assumed as a
preogative Of the ruler, and to supply
the people with coin has come to be

THE two most prominent candidates
for the throne of Bulgaria are Russians,
Gen. Grants candidacy being mythical
of course. OF these two Russians, one
is Gen. Iguatieff. originator Of the San
Stefano treaty, and the other, Prince
Dondoukoff- X orsakoff, who now adj
ministers Bulgaria in the name of the
czar. The latter is openly sustained by
Prince Lobanoff, the ambassador at
Constantinople, and he controls such
political elements as may be brought to
bear In the formation of a conservative
party. Gen. Ignatieff, on the contra
ry, Is a candidate Of the people, and he
is upheld In the good opinion of Prince
Gortschakoff and the Emperor Alexan-
der by Prince Orloff, ambassador at
Paris, and other diplomatists. The

Der Of a reigniDg family in any Of the

A SCHOOL scandal has just developed
In San Francisco which eclipses any
Of the kind ever concocted in the east.
Among the revelations are those In re-
lation to the sale Of prepared forms Of
questions for applicants seeking posi-
lions as teachers. Just who sold these
lists Of questions does not appear, but
the investigation conducted in San
Francisco has shown that there was a
regular trade carried on between some
person connected with school author
tiles and applicants for teacher ships.
It appears also that places as teachers
In the public schools were secured by
brokers for 5000 and $3.50. In one case
a young lady from the east failed to pay
the brokers' fee. and suit was brought
to ecove the amount. Then out came
the whole story Of disreputable prac-
tices. The investigating committee is
embarrassed by witnesses who decline
to answer questions, but there wal a
determination to probe the matter to
the bottom.

How PHI. Sheridan Disobeyed Orders.

From the Indianapolis Evening News.
The recent gathering of military men
In our city, and the recital ofreminiscen-
ces of the wal which gave occasion for
the organization of the army Of the
Tennessee, recalls an incident in the
military experience of Gen. Phil. Sheri-
dan which is not generally known, and
which has doubtless been forgotten by
many. who were personally cognizant of
II at the time, or driven from their
minds by the contemplation Of the glo-
rious achievements which have made
the name of Sheridan loved and honor
ed throughout the land. At the be-
ginning Of the war, he was q captain in
the regular army, having graduated at
West Point in 1853. In the fall Of 1861
be was appointed quartermaster Of the
army Of the southwest, under the COM
mand Of Gen. Curtis, with headquar-
tiers at Springfield, Mo. An expedition
to Arkansas was organized, and Gen.
Curtis headed 1t In person. The march
Of the army was harassed by attacks
from bushwhackers and guerillas, and
there was great need Of horses to meet
and repulse these classes Of combatants.
Gen. Curtis dispatched a courier from
Timber Hollows to Sheridan with in
structions to forward Immediately all
the horses he could procure; IL there
was no money on hand with which to
purchase them, to go out and press
them into the service. In those early
days the war was not carried into Afri-
ca, so to speak, as in later times, and
Sheridan refused to run any risks by
such an irregular proceeding, and sent
word back to Curtis that he would send
no horses for which he had no receipts,
and, having no funds on hand, he could
not procure them. Gen. Curtis was
furious at the presumption of the
quartermaster, and ordered the contu-
macious officer to forward his sword to
the general and report to Gen. Hallock,
in command of the department, at st.
Louis, under arrest. Sheridan left
Springfield in pursuance of these or
ders, and that was the last heard of
him in the army Of the southwest. In
the spring of 1862 he appeared again as
colonel of the Second Michigan cavalry,
after which time his progress was bril-
liant, and known to the whole country.
