"E Pluribns Unum,N

A. Loudon Snowden, of Philadelphia,
thus describes the origin and use of the
motto of the United States, u PIoribuS
Imam Zone in many: "It is ascribed
to Colonel Reed, of Uxbridge, Mass. 1t
first appeared on copper coin, struck
at Newburgh, New York State, where
there was private mint. The pieces
struck are dated 1856. In 1887 the
motto appeared on several types of the
New Jersey coppers, also ON very Gu
piece, coined by a goldsmith named
Brasher. 1t was there put Unum r
Pluribus.' Only four of th, Sc pieces
are Known to be Txtant, and they are
very valuable. One of them, in posses
sion of the United States mint, is sup.
posed to be worth over 81, ,000 When
Kentucky was admitted, in 1871, it is
said copper coins were struck, with az.
Pluribus Unum. They were made in
England. The act of Congress of 1892,
authorizing the establishment of mint,
and the coinage of gold, silver and cop
per, did not prescribe this motto, nor
was it ever legalized. 1t was placed on
gold coins in 1876, and on silver coins
in 1898. Itwas constantly used there
after until 1881, when it was Withdrawn
from the quarter dollar of new device.
In 1884 twas dropped from gold coins
to mark the change in the standard fine
ness of the coin. In 1887 it was dropped
from the silver coins, marking the era
of the revised mint code. 1t has been
thought proper to restore it recently to
our new silver dollar, without any spe-
cial sanction of law, although the ex-
preston is one very proper for our
coin,"

They Were Not Proud,

We find the following in a recent issue
of st. Paul (Minn.) paper: "Yester-
day morning, about ten O'Clock, two
young ladies were seen going down
Third street, one leading and tie othel
driving a COW. The young ladies were
good looking, and trudged along till a
dry goods store on Third street was
reached. Here they tied the animal
and disappeared in the store, whereupon
a young man was seen to rush out of the
back door, and it was some time before
he could be found. A few evenings
since Mr.. Lyon accused the young ladies
of being too proud to stoop to the duties
of farmers daughter, and promised to
each a $50 silk dress if they would per-
form the above act. so, yesterday morn
ing, attired in q farmers daughters cos
tunes, they drove Mr.. Fabers COW from
the barn, attached rope, and while
Miss Faber led the animal, Miss Hen
bricks walked behind with a broomstick
to hasten the trip. Without fear they
passed down Third, from the Seven Cor
ners TO Wabasha, there tied the animal,
and hastened to receive their wages"

A Valentino.

Fair lady, shouldst thou deem my heart ha
erred
In making thee its only earthly shrine,
Forbear, nor speak to me one censuring word
The fault, il fault there be, is wholly thine.
Through all the long and weary vanished
years,
Which my rejoicing heart shall know no
more,
vsinly piled my quest in varied spheres.
And found no fair one whom might adore;
But now yield my thanks to kindly fate,
Which grants to me love so fair and dear.
will not murmur that the boon comes late,
But rather dream that thou vert always
near
And crowned with true loves blessed light at
last,
Forget the desolation OF the past.

Wisconsin pays $40 apiece for wolf
scalps, and this protection has largely
developed the industry of lupiculture.
In some of the Oldest counties in the
State, according to State Senator Bailey,
there are farmers who make a good

them.

An Indian carried the dead body of
his sister to the top of hill at Rosebud,
Neb., and stationed himself by it with
a rife in his hands, intending to kill
the first white man who came within
range, so that a white spirit might &C
company her to the happy hunting
grounds. He stood there six hours,
firing occasional but harmless shots at
distant persons. Then a white man
who had lived many years among the
Indians, and whose wife was squaw,
walked unsuspiciously that way. The
Indian shot him in the breast, and was
satisfied. But the wounded man re
covered, and accepted thirteen horses,
forty blankets, and an apology in settle
ment.

The steamer City Of Nec York, which made
her appearance off the harbor of Honolulu, on
Tuesday the 23d inst, gave the go-by to the
people, by passing direct to San Francisco,
without delivering the mails or taking the pas
sengers in waiting for transmission. This was
bitter disappointment to the business men
and sojourners on these islands. We learn
that there were in the city awaiting the arri-
val of the steamer about IS passengers, who
expected to take passage to San Francisco and
the east, who were sorely disappointed and put
to serious Inconvenience. Besides the above
number Of passengers, we learn that some
three or four hundred tons of sugar and large
quantity of bananas, were ready to be put
aboard, but these had also to remain, to the Sc
rious loss and inconvenience of owners and
shippers. We admit that it was blowing very
freshly at the time when the steamer made
the mouth of the harbor, but we do not think
that the Captain acted with any regard for the
interests and convenience Of the people, in not
remaining till the afternoon or even night,
when his ship could have come in with safety
and thus prevent that which amounts to an
almost irreparable loss to many persons who
were depending upon the certainty Of The P.

United States Committeeman at
Shanghai. China.

The promotion of the Hon. Judge O. N.
Denny, of Oregon, to be United States Consul
General at Shanghai, is one of the most Judi
cious and well deserved promotions we have
heard of lately. Judge Denny has been Uni
ted States Consul at Tientsin, for the past
three years, where he has discharged his
duties with the highest credit to his country
and himself. His promotion, therefore, is
alike creditable to the administration of Presi-
dent Hayes and Judge Denny. To make the
promotion more complete the Vice Consul, Mr..
W. n. Pethick, of New York. should take the
place vacated by Judge Denny
To complete the reform, President Hayes
should lose no time in turning out the cdnaille,
who infest the American Legation at Peking.
We mean the Burmese convert, Chester Sebas
topol Bradford Taylor; the great American
hummer, Francis P. Knights and the Reverend
renegade, Christmas Holcombe, & Co., who
have brought obloquy upon the United States,
by their disgraceful conduct at the capital of
the Chinese Empire, and fill their places with
gentlemen of the calibre and character of
Judge Denny, Col. Mosby, Mr. Pethick and Mr..
McClay. That would be reform in the right
direction, reform demanded by every con-
sideration of justice and propriety.

The Year 1879.

Tomorrow will be New Years Day, 1880.
With the close of to-day passes into history
1879, with all its incidents, facts and occur
rences. The year 1879 will occupy no incon-
siderable place in history, for during that
year, many very mighty events have happened
which the faithful historian will record with
emphasis. Among the most prominent of
those events, will be the wars that have DESC
lated Afghanistan, in Asia, and Zululand, in
Africa, whose results have changed the map
of the world, politically speaking. What with
the cunning of Diplomats, Kingcraft and the
grasping ambition of great Rulers of nations,
the marshaling of mighty armies on many a
bloody battlefield, and the power of money I;
sorrow and suffering. widowhood and orphan
age, have been increased to fearful extent,
and whole nations have had to lament ruin,
pillage and despoliation; reminding us that
although we live in the Nineteenth century,
we are no better off than the people who lived
in ages of the world anterior to the present.
Thus we find in retrospecting the past, we may
if we will, read the horoscope of the future,
in the same doleful language of the past event
full year. But there is sill a silver lining to
this dark cloud, in the many peaceful events
which have transpired during the year 1879
that gilds with light the somber hues of the
worst side of human affairs. Prominent
among the latter We may enumerate the pro-
gress in the arts of peace which have signal
lied the year 1879: Such as the canal project
across the Isthmus of Panama, which when
completed, will change both the map and COM
merce of the world, the discoveries in electro
magnetic science, the progress in the worlds
commerce through the efforts of far-seeing
and philanthropic men of all natio nalites. to
realize the dreams of enthusiastic but thought
ful men, for bettering the condition of human
ity. Who can foresee the mighty results that
will be accomplished through the laying of
Trans-Paciic cable from China to the western
coast of North America, and yet it is fact
that the author of that mighty project, which
is destined to complete the circuit of the globe
by cable, is actually here in Honolulu, Mr..
Celso Caesar Moreno, an Italo-American,
endeavoring to persuade the Hawaiian Gov
eminent to acquiesce in arranging the prelim-
naries for the establishment of direct COM
mercial and postal communication between the
mighty Empire of China and these Islands,
which if accomplished, will be the sure har-
binger of the laying and maintaining of the
Trans-Paciic cable as above stated. Our last
advice to the government of Hawaii nei is to
avail itself of this golden opportunity 10 be-
come prominent factor in this mighty project,
and in this connection we will add, that the
best service we can render this Kingdom is to
publish, as we have done in the GAzETTE of
this week, the mastery speech of Mr.. Moreno,
before the Committee on Foreign Relations Of
the United States Senate, on behalf Of his
Trans-Pacifc project, to which we invite a
careful perusal.
