In December, 1860, Elizabeth Reuter- commenced
suit for divorce against her lege lord Peter ana on
motion subsequently made TO the Court she was
awarded alimony pending decision oil the action. at

with the debt constantly accommodating Repeated
motions for his discharge have been made before
The courts by his counsel, Mr. G. 5. Wilkes.
These motions wore mado on the ground that

TIL. New York Commercial List has
q sensible article upon hard times and
advertising. We clip paragraph:
Another error, and very common
one among business men of limited ex
perience, is that of economizing in the
matter of advertising whenever ''times
are dull, p" profits small, and prospects
not over promising. This is the rock on
which many business firms are shattered.
But the more experienced and success
full merchant realizes the fact that when
trade is dull, it is the more necessary to
keep his name and his wares prominent
ly before the public, in order the more
surely to effect the sale of his merchan-
disc. When trade is active, buyers are
plenty and quite apt to ask for what
they want, but when the wheels of COM
merce revolEe slowly, aud business is
sluggish, it oftentimes becomes necessa-
ry for merchants to seek for buyers.
The business men could proftably ard
wisely advertise much more extensively
than they do.

10 " ,STL YER DOLLARS IRE
MADE.

The metal whether gold or silver,
comes to the mint from the assay Off
GERS, alleged to the proper standard for
coin, in ingots of about $50 ounces in
weight. These ingots are then heated
red-hot and passed through rolls until
they are 2-1O of an inch in thickness,
and five or six inches wide. They are
then annealed at red heat and plunged
i'll cold water, which makes, the gold and
silver tough and soft. They are again
rolled to the requisite thickness and cut
into 'sfillets, or strips, which are passed
through drawing machine, which
makes the strips perfectly uniform.
Gold passing through this machine has
to be waxed, and silver creased. The
fllets are then cut into four strips, and
the 'strier" cuts one Or more blanks
from each, which are weighed, and If
too thin for the required coin they all
go back for remelting; If too thick they
are again rolled. The fllets are then
taken to the cutting-room, where they
are cut into round blanks or ''planch
etts,'' trifie larger than the intended
coin. In this room the blanks are care
fully examined, to see if it is perfect,
carefully weighed, and if too light laid
aside for remelting, and if too heavy
adjusted by filing. The next process is
to raise the slight rim on the edge,
which is done by milling machine.
During these processes the blanks have
become so hard and discolored that they
are again annealed, and they are placed
in iron trays, sealed alright, and heated
red-hot, and thrown into cold water.
When cold they are boiled in dilute sui
phuric acid, then dried by revolving in
a drum containing heated lockwood
Rwdust. They are now ready for the
impressions. Of the coin press, no idea
can be given Of it without cut, but in
general it may be said to be an almost
perfect 1utomaton, which, when the
blanks are fed to it, through a tube, takes
each blank with q "hand'' and lays it
upon the face of the lower die. Both
faces of the coin and the futed or reced-
ed edge (Which is given to all gold and
silver coins to prevent their being fled
are struck with one blow, when the au
tomaton hand dispIaces the coin and
puts another blank in its place. The
pressure for dollar is equal to about
seventy-fiYe tons each coin. The coins
are then weighed and placed in bags for
the Treasury.

forms of policies, both to the individual and to the

them.
The surplus earned in any year is returned to the
following year, only by reduction of premium. thus
limiting the payments to the actual current cost of
tie insurance.

REALLT IN ELEGANT THING.

The new Rocky Mountain Tourist,
Just from the press, is indeed an artistic
GEM. In point of engravings, printing
aud description it is beyond all question
the handsomest publication of the char
acter ever issued in the United States.
There are in this work no less than
sixteen of Thomas Moran's exquisite
drawings, and among them his famous
reproduction of the Mount of the Holy
Cross. OF Moran's other matchless
drawings are those of Grand, Glen, Mar
BILE, Knob and Boulder Canons, Twin
Lakes, TeocalH Mountain, etc. Joseph
Beard is represented by characteristic
hunting sketches, Bisbing by several
exceedingly attractive mountain sketch
es. Lancelct by spirited drawings Of
the remarkable rock-sculpture on White
River, and Henry WorraH by fulI-page
views at Veta Pass and Wagon Wheel
Gap, as well as large number of other
very finely executed sketches IN differ
ent portions of the western country.
The engravings are for the most part
large, the full quarto pages of the Tour
ist enabling the showing to the finest
advantage of plates seven by ten inches.
The book comprises sixty-four pages,
exclusive Of the cover, and printed as it
is upon SUPERSEDED and calendered paper
Of the richest finish, the effect throughout
is superb. While a very model of typ
ographical beauty, the Tourist is none
the less practical in its range of infor-
nation, time, distances, railroad and
stage fares, hotel and livery rates being
noted with uniform accuracy and in so
easy and pleasing manner as to entirely
relieve the work of everything approach
ing the tedious detail of the average
guide book. Containing no advertise
