Those who refuse the trade dollar, regarding
it as a deprecated coin, and rail against the
Government for issuing money which is not
receivable, would do well to refer to the price,
lists of silver in the New York market. They
would find there that while the standard dol
lar is only worth 100 cents by virtue of the
Governments promise to receive and redeem
it as such, the rejected and despised trade dol
lar is quoted as worth 500 cents, only quar-
ter of one per cent less than the value OF four
silver % cent pieces. The old Mexican dollar
which was once in high favor, is quoted at 81
cents. If the Government does not endorse
trade dollars as honest money, the silver
market comes not far from It, Do not be
afraid of losing that half cent.
The Philadelphia Park Commissioners have
notified the directors of the Permanent Exhi-
bition that the Permanent Building must be
removed from the Park at the expiration of
two years from the 10Th of July, 1879. The
reason given for this action is that there IL
not sufficient display now in the building
worthy of the name of an " Exhibition and
that it has relapsed into place of amuse-
ment. 1t is possible that the Exhibition Man
ayers may do something to change the nature
of this " show - so as to make it more proper
ly place for instruction rather than amuse-
ment, and thus prevent the threatened catas.

1t is said of an American once visiting in
Paris that he took wine bath, and after a
comfortable wash, asked the attendant what
was done with the wine used by the Parisians
after taking their wine baths. "O' said the
America, where it is sold for the best French
wine." In keeping with this, Joaquin Miller
tells of what lie saw during visit to the wine
presses on the Adriatic. The grapes are
thrown into a large tub or vat, and the juice
worked out by the process of treading by
women in their bare feet and short petticoats.
They go ronnd and round, until up to their
knees in juice. He watched this operation
and felt an inward disgust, until he saw, with
ed their feet--after they had finished treading
out the wine.
