A Convenient small Currency.

Now that gold is no longer at premium, and
Is coming out from It's hiding places into eireu-
ldt0n the curious fact is presented that for con-
venient use the public prefer greenbacks to it 3;
and for any amount under five dollars even pre-
fer silver. The gold dollar is Objectionable on
account Of its minute size. rendering IL con-
Stantly liable TO be lost. As FalstaT had in sink
ing, this little coin has an aiacTity for dropping
from pOrtm0nnaie, OF working through the
bottom OF pocket. II the gold dollar could be
made thinner ana OF larger sIITfa &c it would not
only Obytate this objection 10 j certain extent,
but it would be much hands0mar coin. All
our gold coin in fact, compares unfayorably with
the European coin in appearance, for the reason
that il is both inferior in design and execution,
and is clunsily thick in proportion to its surface.
Our gold dollar might almost as well be cast
round, tn the shape of bird shot. as in its pres
ent shape.
But undoubtedly the most convenient money
for general use in the Way of making change
and Tor sending small amounts By mali. is frac-
tional currency something like our recent postal
currency. All who Lave Travelled in Italy will
recognize the great convenience OF the small
paper currency OF that country, which is issued
In denominations from ten cents upwards. To
be sure, the paper money there is at a discount
on account OF the wretched financial condition
or the country, but it is most seTviceabe despite
this drawback, and when issued from source
OF firSt-class credit, II would rank get higher as
circulating medium

In the January number Of the North American
Revier are a more rigid professional superin-

plies and waste, and the adoption Of a system
