A point which was overlooked In
our observations recently upon the
evidences of the upper sand stone,
being a bar-rock, was. that as was
observed first, we believe, by Prof.
Chamberlin, the Upper Sandstone and
the Lower Magnetism. in the eastern
part OF the State, alternate with each
other in respect OF the depth of area.
Where the depth OF deposit of the
lower magnesia is least the depth of
the st. Peters Sand Stone Is greatest.
This certainly Is in correspondence
with the theory that they are
both segregations from what was
prlstinely one common body Of rocks.
1t is of no small Importance that this
quality Of the rocks Of the Lead
District, namely = segregatedness -
should be held in view. Its connec-
ton with our mineral deposits Is like
ly to be far more intimate than we
have supposed. All honor to DR.. J.
G.. Percival for having put US upon
the thought. w

IL is to be regretted that there
was not n full meeting of the now
Council on Tuesday evening. We
think that the Council acted un-
wisely in reducing the liquor license
from from soventy-liye dollars to
fifty dollars. We do not SEQ that
there is any reason which has not
heretofore existed why tho license
should be reduced to this figure.
And rs seyenty-iivc dollars has
been the uniform price charged
for anumber Of years there seems
to be good ground for tho general
complaint which is made at the
change,
But we may be mistaken in the
matter. Perhaps il would have
been better not to have charged
any license ut all. A subscription
could he taken up in the churches
to defray the expenses of keeping
n Waterman on Saturdays and
Sundays.

Cents.
New York Sun


An official OF the Philadelphia Mint says
that the demand for cents ia 80 great that the
orders cannot be promptly filled. There
are parts OF the country" he adds, where
they are as rare as gold dollars are here. In
the South the cent Is almost unknown, the
smallest coin being a flve-cent piece. Recent
ly, however, there has been eome demand for
them from merchants in Georgia and Ala
bama. In the far West there Is but little call
for them, but when one gets to st Louis, or
east OF that point. then the cent becomes
familiar Wherever there are Six cent fares
on the street ears there Ia demand from that
city. Now Louisville seldom, II ever, calls
upon US, while Cincinnati Is continually cry
ing for the one-cent piece. New York con-
sumes IA big lot, and 50 do the Eastern States
The two-cent piece was good help to Us for
a time, but none OF them have been coined for
ten years. and all that are redeemed are re-
coined into one cent pieces. Competition Ia
Il ade increases the demand for cents. When
ever retail trade Is t-lskost, then the cent IL
needed most"
