THE TRADE DOLLAR sWINDLE.

1t is not calculated to inspire any very
profound respect for the honesty and
fair dealing of the United States Govern
ment to lay down one of its own coins,
bearing the imprint of its own Mint, and
be superciliously told by one of its own
officials that "it is not received by the
Government" We noticed gentleman
offer Trade Dollar at the window of
the Post Office day or two since and
receive a snubbing of this sort from
the urbane official. The citizen fished
up Dollar of the Daddies containing
several grains less by actual weight of
silver of like fneness, and also bearing
the eagle and Mint stamp of the same
U, S. Government, which the Post-offce
people were willing to receive; but the
gentleman walked away feeling ill used,
and with the observation that it is fine
moral spectacle to see an official in an
Office of the Government refuse
one of the coins that the same Govern
ment had itself foisted upon the
people for valuable consideration, and
yet making another of less intrinsic
value, legal tender. We have, on more
than one occasion, characterized in fitting
terms the disreputable swindle that this
dirty trade-dollar business amounts to,
and repeatedly expressed the hope that it
would be remedied by Congress. 1t was
announced some few weeks since that a
bill was before that body authorizing
the calling in of these dishonored and
protested coins and their replacement
by the legal tender dollar. 1t is ma,
tional scandal for this Government to be
purchasing silver bullion and converting
it into coins that are legal tender at
more than their, intrinsic value as bullion,
and at the same time permitting the
laboring people of the country to be
swindled from five to ten per cent. on
this bastard Trade Dollar by reason of
the Government refusing to
honor its own coin. We see
no valid reason why the above
bill should not be pushed forward and
be made law, and can assure the august
statesmen composing Congress that until
this is done the rejecting portion of the
American people will have very little
respect for either the integrity or judg-
ment of that windy institution. Hurry
up, gentlemen; let us have this business
settled.

A Danes Skin,

Not very long ago portion of hard
dry skin was found underneath the
bossed head of huge iron nail that was
fixed into the door of the Chapter House,
at Westminster. Upon this skin were
found several hairs. Mr.. Quekett, Gu
rator of the museum of the College of
Surgeons, recognized the hair to be hui
man, and asserted that it belonged to a
fair-haired person. In former times the
Danes used to come up the mouths Of
the English rivers to pillage the churches.
When they were caught they were
skinned, and their skins nailed to the
door of the church they attacked.
In the course Of time, all the exposed
portion would peel of, that covered by
the nail would remain protected, and
thus bear testimony to the cruelty Of
our ancestors. In the College of Sur
geons may be seen three specimens Of
human skin. presented by Mr.. Albert
Way, viz: "Pdrtion Of human skin, said
to be that Of a Dane, from the door of a
church at Hadstock, in Essex" a sec.
ond specimen in from Copford, in Essex
and third from the north door Of Wor'
cester Cathedral. ...

CITY SIDEWALKS AND PAvEMENTs.

Pavements and sidewalks are after all
serious problems for consideration in the
making of city Improvements. The con-
stant friction from vehicles and draught
animals, the hauling of enormous
weights and the heaving and displace-
ments from freezing and thawing in
winter make it almost impossible to find
material that can be so laid as to stay
enduringly in place. In the city of Paris
the use of asphaltum has for some years
been popular, but this material does not
appear to answer in our climate, owing
to its tendency to heave and crush in
our freezing and thawing winters, and
melting and softening in our warm
summers.
The Baron Haussmann, who held
sway almost unlimited under the late
Emperor Napoleon over the streets of
the gay capital, had theory that the
proper thing to do was to make Paris
waterproof by turning all the rain and
snowfall into tie sewers, of which Paris
has perhaps the finest system in the
world. He therefore recommended the
covering of sidewalks and courts with a
poultice of asphaltum, but the asphal-
tum streets did not prove the success
that the Baron expected, and they have
not, we believe, been lately extended.
The Paris sidewalks are, however, mod
els of smoothness and neatness, the use
Of brick being almost unknown.
With us the irregular and uneven
walks in the best of American cities is a
stand reproach to our inventive genius
beingmade up SO largely of brick that
the frosts of winter throw out of place
and make travelling over them anything
but comfortable. If therefore among
the new materials elbowing their way
into use, any is found that insure
an unyielding and even surface
that is sufficiently waterproof to pre-
vent the crumbling and displacement,
that follows continued freezing and thaw
ing, then indeed a desideratum, long
sought, has been secured. Durability il

RaCksll eesh.
TMacmillan's Magazine,

There Is a great distinction between
bribing an English Custom-house officer
at Dover to pass your luggage, and one
at Pera-the difference being that the
first receives his salary from the public
indirectly and through officers, and the
latter from the public directly, through
the non-oficial channel of the hotel por-
ter, or any other that may be foundscon-
venient. So when we come to financial
arrangements upon a large scale and in
volving the cooperation Of the highest
functionaries of the State, we must judge
them by their own standard rather than
by ours; and it has this merit, that, while
it is much lower, they do not even pre-
tend that they act up to it. They openly
say that they are reduced to the most
extreme pecuniary destitution, and must
get money somehow; and the veil that
they throw over their transactions-which
are, after all, not more corrupt than those
of a neighboring Christian country-is
no thicker than Turkish,woman's yash-
max; it is merely conventionally sup
posed to conceal what is beneath 1t.
