lady at that place:
"A Nevada City young lady, week
or so ag.', went into the garden to do
some work. She wanted exercise. aud
all the family thought exercise was
good thing for young ladies. This
particular young lady got hold Of a
spade aud undertook to turn up soil so
that the succulent and fragrant onion
would be planted. The first shove
she made with the spade took off one
of her toes. OF course she yelled
anybody would Her mother came
out and saw the situation. The old
lady performed then and there sur
gical operation. The toe was put on
the place from whence it was cut by
the spade. aud the wounded member
was tied up. This morning the rag"
was rem we'd and the toe was on the
foot. Everything was all right and
healthy. bat the toe was upside down.
The young lady thinks her mother

MUTILATED COIN.

1t may not be out of place. in this con-
nection. says the Chicago Times, to caution
the public against takipg bored and
clipped fractional coias. The Treasury
does not redeem coins thus mutilated a.
their face value. It, simply buys them
as bullion. Take these coins to the
amount of $40, and If they are not mu-
mutilaled the government will redeem
them at par, though their actual value
does not exceed $3.50. But if they
are all mutilAted, 90 as to deprive in the
aggregate of S per cent of their value, the
government viii only take them as bullion
and give about $3.50 for them. OF
course people win not sell these coins to
the government at discount of 20 per
cent or more from their face value, SO long
as they can pass them at par. But it Is
to their interest to keep this portion of
the currency in such condition that 1t
may be redeemed without loss at any
time. 1t is. therefore, to their interest to
refuse bored and crippled fractional coins,
when rendered, as they have perfect
right to do. If those whose business in
wolves an extensive use Of fractionals
will make it an invariable rule to refuse
the mutilated pieces, their example will
be generally followed, and the practice of
stealing silver by boring or mutilating
coins will be stopped because it will no
longer pay, but be losing business, and
this portion Of the currency will be kept
in a good redeemable condition.

SPECIALIZING IN GoLp.-lt Is reported
that Wall street spectators have paid one
half OF one per cent. for the right TO call
for gold in the autumn. Under the pres

upon gold during this year, and II Congress
had a particle OF discernment on this sub
iect there would be no such premium for
many years. The silver policy ofCongres,
is the only danger, and that may be averted
II Congress should, by chance, have a
season OF ordinary sagacity. AT the pres
