The Dollar Mark.


Regarding the 5 mark, of our money
some think that tho sign, is a sort of
monogram of the y. s. The American
dollar, say others, is taken from. the
Spanish dollar, AID the sign, is to. be
found, of course, in the associations of
the Spanish dollar. On the reverse of
the.Spanish dollar is representation Of
the Pillars of Hercules, and around each
pillar is scroll with the inscription
Plus Ultra" This device in the course
of time has degeneratsd into the sign
which stands at present for American
as well as Spanish dollars, "$." The
scroll around the pillars represents the
two serpeats sent by Juno to destroy
Hercules in his cradle. Still others say:
The sign is derived from the Spanish
.f,tertes, or hard, and was adopted to
distinguish hard dollars from paper ones.
The letters f-s were used at first, but as
they also stood for francs and forms,
the was curved around the I, ,and forms
the present dollar mark.

Uncertainties, Of. law.

j\ CORRESPONDENT of the Boston
"a Traveller writes ga few years
81 nee man was arraigned in our police
ourt for attempting to, pick lady's
IJocket in horse e-car; he was convicted.
and sentenced by the Judge to four
months imprisonment in the House of
Correction, from which sentence he ap-
pealed, end the case was carried to the
Superior Court. He was again convict
ed, and, this time, sentenced to the
State Prison for four years, instead Of
four months in the House of Correction.
Another man about the same time
was convicted in the Eolice Court for. an.
assault upon a boy, and sentenced to six.
months in the House of Correction he
appealed to the Superior Court, and was
then convicted of an assault with intent
to kill and sentenced to the State Prison
for seven years.
In both of the above cases the parties
served the full term for which they were
sentenced.
Devlin, who was recently executed at
Cambridge for the murder of his wife,
was offered permission by the govern
ment to plead guilty to murder, in the
second degree, which would have sent,
him to the State Prison for life. This.
offer he declined, preferring to take the
chances of trial, in which he was con-
victed of murdeEin the first, degree, and,
paid the penalty, upon the gallows.
In these cases we find good illustra-
tion of the adsge of jumping out Of the
frying pan into the fire.
I In the case Of Buzzell, tried at Cam
bridge last week for the murder of his
illegitimate child the tables were turned.
He was willing, and anxious, to. plead
| guilty to mrfrdersin tho second degree.
| This plea the government refused, to-
accept, preferring to try him. The result
was his ac4ulttal, and, he escapes. going
| to the State Prison fop life, penalty he.
was willing to compromise on.

An Innocent Old Man Abroad.


T1HE other day the police at the Union
i Depot noticed feeble looking old
man wandering in and out to kill time
until his train should depart, and as he
at times displayed quite roll of bills he
was cautioned to look out for pickpock-
cts and confidence men.
''Wouldn't anybody rob an old man
like me, would they 2" he innocently
asked
The warning was repeated, but he
logged around as before, and after time
was seen in consultation with two stran-
gers, who walked him around to the
wharf. An officer got him away from
them and angrily said:
Didn't warn you against stran-
gers9 Those fellows are after your
money!"
But how can they git 1t when l
have it in my pocket and my hand on
itall the time 2"
Well, you look out"
Yes, I'll look out; but don't want
to be unclvil. When anybody talks to
me like to talk back"
The strangers soon had him on the
string again, and in about quarter OF
an hour they left him In a hurried man.

with his wallet in his hand.
