1t is stated that Nast's terrible car

as q Democratic document. The
Brooklyn E0gle gives the information.
The cartoon was published in Fobru..
ary, 1873, when everybody was abus-,
ing Garfield, and now tho Democrats
expect to reproduce it by the hundred
thousand. AS the matter in H0yper's

badly be some lawsuits about the right
tocopy without the permission Of the
original publishers, but. it is argued
that a lawsuit to Suppress the reissue
would make the impression still moro
favorable to the Democrats and that
even if heavy damages wore awarded
it would, nevertheless, be worth the
risk in party light.

TnE OLD RED CENT..-Thc old red
ccnt,is rapidly passing away, out Of
the United States currency, and it will
not be long before it will be known
only in memory and unnIismatic .'cols
lcT6ons. Its history is q mater.of suf-
tlcicnt interest for representation.
The cont was first proposed by Rob
crt Morris, the great tinancicr of the
Revolution, and was named by Jcflcr-
son two years after. 1t began to make
its appearance from The mint in 1902.
It bore the head of Washington, on one
siftc and thirteen links on the other.
Tho French revolution soon created
a rage for French ideas in America,
which put Oh tho cent, instead of the
inatead Of the head of Washington, the
goddess Of libcrty-a French liberty
with flowing locks. The chain on the
reverse was replaced by the olive
wreath of peace. But the Fronch lib
erty was short-livcd, and so was her
portrait OH the cent. Tho next head
OF figure succeeding this tho staid,
classic dame, with q fillet around hcF
Eair--came into fashion about thirty
or forty years ago, and her finely
chiselcd Grccian features have been,
but slightly altered III tho lapse Of
time.
