The Dollar Mark.

There are number of theories for
the origin Of the dollar mark. One is,
that it is q combination of U. s., the
initials for the United States; another,
that it is modification OF the figure s,
the dollar being formerly called q
"piece of eight" and designated by
the character S-8. The third theory is
that it is a combination of Il. s.. the
mark of the Roman unit; while fourth
is, that it is combination of p. and s.,
from the Spanish peso durO. which sig
nifies hard dollar" In Spanish &C.
counts, peso is contracted by writing
the S. over the p. and placing it after
the sum. The latest theory of the orr
gin OF the sign is offered by the editor
of the London Whitehall. Rerie,c, who
recently propounded the question at a
dinner party in that city, at which the
American conssl was present. As no
one could tell, the editor gave the fol-
lowing explanation: " 1t is taken from
the Spanish dollar, and the sign is to
be found, of course. in the association
of the Spanish dollar. We Uttered tho
table with books in the course of our
researches. but I proved my point in
the end. On the reverse OF the Spanish
dollar is representation OF the Pillar
of Hercules, and round each pillar is a
scroll, with the inscription, Plus
ultra This device, in the course of
time, has degenersted into the sign
which stands at present for American.

scroll around the pillars, I take it, rep

The Importance of manufactures to
the growth of a community is very fa
vorably exhibited by the Philadelphia
Ledger, in an article comparing that
city with Boston and Baltimore under
the present and previous censuses. In
commerce purely Boston surpasses
Philadelphia and Baltimore equals it.
OF population Baltimore has 365, 900
and Philadelphia S47 $40 inhabitants.
The last named has 1876 900 of popula-
ton more than both its rivals, or nearly
half million more than either. This
vast excess the Ledger ascribes to man
ufacturing industries, and says that " if
Philadelphia had no more of manu-
features than Boston or Baltimore, it
would very soon have no more popula-
ton than they 1t claims Philadel-
phia to be the largest distinctive manu-
featuring city lin the country, if not
in the world"

The range for breeding fast horses is
suid to be giving place among ou-
wiser farmers to tho more rational aim
of securing strong. heavy animals for
draught purposes. A good, big
horse, says recent writer, will al
ways sell, and farmers who raise such
animals will always realize handsome
return for t!.eir care in rearing them.
Many years agoa large proportion OF
the farmers OF keokuk and Washing
ton counties. in Iowa, were induced to
engage in this line of breeding, and
that section now takes the lead, west of
the Mississippi, in breeding heavy
horses. to the great profit of all con-
cerned. There appears to be no limit
to the demand, and prices are always
good.
