Reminders of Hard Times.
An interesting gift was made yesterday to
the Historical society by Col. John S.
Prince. 1t consisted of number of speci-
mems of fractional currency issued about the
time of the great scarcity of silver in 1852
The government soon after issued postage
currency" but pending this all sorts of
scrip was printed IS substitute for silver
change. There are tweDty-three different
kinds, and they forcibly bring up III the
mind the hard times eighteen years ago.
Some of these notes were issued by firms,
some by banks and some by towns and
cities. They are to be mounted on sheet
and framed, and will make a curious re-
minder of the dark days long ago. The So
ciety is very anxious to get specimens of
Ramsey county or st. Paul scrip issued in
1857 and 1858, or of Estate scrip" of the
same period. Some specimens may still be
in existence. They also want some IOWA
tonna" or "Chatfeld" wild cat bills. These
would probably not be SO hard to find, as ev-
erybody had them once. VIM. P. Murray
also contributes 81 scrip of West st. Paul,
dated 1853. Geo. w. 81. Bell was mayor
and &. A. Phelan clsrk then, as their signi-
lures appear on the scrip. Murray has CIV
en- up trying to get it paid and hands it over
