A Logical Dollar.

What constitutes a dollar? This has be-
come n question Of much importance, and
the answer is readily at hand. A cotempo-
nary furnishes ii The dollar is 81 |
grains of pure silver mixed with 25l grains
Of base metal, and then shaped and stamped
and marked with certain devices; and, also,
the dollar is % 22-l0O grains of pure gold
mixed with . 5s-lOO grains OF base metal

divisible into 100 parts, each part called
one cent, and the whole containing 1Ot
cents; these cents being all equal, or. il

coined silver, and, second, it is % s-1(
grains of coined gold, each being Just equa
10 the other, and each containing 100 cent,

be equal to the whole, 80 is 81 not equal tc

Not twelve month has yet expired since

President HAYES has learned and seen the
fallacy Of his Southern policy. Disregard
Ing the advice of the great leaders of the

those who ever at the front bore the brunt

these, Mr. HAYES, at the commencement of
his term of office, sought the counsel and
advice of the bitter enemies of his party, in
the dclusive hope that Cancellation" was

sees the justice of the punishment and adj
vocstes it, a Southern senator or Represent

sake of Cancellation" he should be par
doned, and it is done. Cancellation what
crimes arc committed in thy name!

PROBABLY d more concise and at the same

work before us has never been published. The
subject eomprehends all the points of view
from which the enlightened naturalist would
look who desired to give complete history
of any animal and Of its settled varieties He
examines its external form, and its internal
organs after death. The function of these Or
gans during life are deduccd. He notes how
the heart beats, the lungs respirc, the brain
thinks He ascertains whether the animal is q
biped or quadrupcd: how its functions of TO.
production are performed what are the in.
fiuences by which it Is governed what the
character of its food what it's habits, its in.
stincts its passions Its mode of association
with its species its method of conveying in.
tellgcnce to distance, its migrations and ia

cisive investigation of tho subject of an.
