GOLD COIN.

The total amount of gold coin in the
United States, according to the esti-
mates of the Director of the Mint, is
$4,000, 900. OF this 1854, 900, 600 is
in the National Treasury and in bank
reserves, and 1886, 900, 600 in actual cir
culation. France and England are the
only nations in the world which have a
larger amount of gold than the United
States. In 1880, France had 1927, O00,-
600, gold, of which $Sl6, 900, 900 was in
circulation, and England had 1896, OOO,-
600, of which $42S, 900, 600 was in
circulation. Germany has 1888, 600, 900
in gold, of which $2O2, 100000 was in
circulation last year. France takes the
lead among the nations of the earth as
gold country, while England is Sec
ond, with the United States a close
third. France and the United States
combined have over third more gold
than England and Germany combined,
yet the former maintain the bi-metallic
or double standard, while England and
Germany have demonetized silver.
Since the discovery of gold in Cali
forria, the United States has coined
ST, 047, 753, 92l in gold. of which $9l9,-
754, $50 was in twenty dollar pieces.
At present, the Mint is coming a
larger proportion of small pieces. The
Director of the Mint estimates that the
United States has coined over 1924,
600, 900 in gold since January, 1879.
A steady stream of gold has been pour
ing into the country from Europe for
over two years, for breadstuffs, cotton
and other products. If this continues
a few years longer-and there is no
reason why it should not, as the de-
inand for American products is increas-
ing rather than diminishing in Europe
the United States will have as much
gold as France, and will nearly, if not
quite. equal that of England and Ger
many combined.

The New York kilograms Albany
special says: From the appearance of
things at this moment prolonged SEES
sion seems inevitable. 1t would be a
surprise to no one who understands the
situation if ballotiug went Oh till the
Fourth of July or after. The half
breeds are quite as determined as the
stalwarts, and unless a compromise is
reached it is impossible to find way
tout OF the present tangle. The Express
says: Should the deadlock continue
until the end of next week an adjourn

is quoted as saying that he will not re-
convene the Legislature, but will let

The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
has received judgment in the Court OF
Claims for $29l,ll7 for carrying the
mails from San Francisco to Hongkong
in 1873, 1874 and 1875. The company
originally got Judgment for less than
$40, 900, but the Attorney General
thought the amount excessive and took
an appeal to the Supreme Court. The
company employed Senator Conkling to
argue the case before the Supreme
Court of Claims, with mandate to
make the Judgment according to GER
tain basis, and the Court has performed
that duty which increases the judy
ment- over S250,00O.

AnOIent Classics

w. T. Reid WAS inutalei hs president of
the University of California last week. In
his inaugural address ho spoke at length on
tho study Of tho ancient classics, and in tho
course Of his remarks no said: Il 10 said
that Latin and Greek must form the basis of
all liberal education, because in those Ian
gunges are TO DO found the great master
pieces of the human mind. But who be-
sdo our Greek and Latin professors knows
enough of those masterpieces to bs justified
in expressing An opinion in regard 10 them?
How many college graduates can speak of
them from familiar personal acquaintance
Speak TO any audience OF college men of
their enjoyment of the measures Of classic
literature, and your remarks will DO received
a. a bit of delightful humor. That college
graduates Of even more than average at
tsinment do not read with delight, II thsy
read vt all, aud do mol study snclent classics
A modeli If literature is beyond question.
But dony the claim that tho Lstin and
Greek oIiers models in literature superior ~
those offered by modern writers Nay, moro
/ believe that tho literature of Christian
civilization Ia Rs superior to that Of Greece
aud Rome as tho civilization of to-day 10
superior to that of the time Of Perlcl,s and
Augustus. But You inquire, what 10 there
ofvslue yet lief. in the study of Latin and
Greek il they arc to be studied neither for
the knowledge stored up In them nor for their
superiority as literary modesS This ques-
ton drives me to the last acknowledgement
an acknowledgment which ASSURE you
make with reluctance, and only sitter much
observation and thought. believe al pres.
ent, in the study Of Latin aud Greek for
purposes of general education, because they
ofler perhaps the best AttAinabl6 linguistic
training, say for the present because am
not certain that there 10 in either Language
such inherent superiority over modern
languages for linguistic purposes rs 10 emit
tle them 10 the place they now Justly hold
They are at present bsst because the mothodi
in use in their study ars better than tbos,
with which We are acquainted In olbeI
Languages. The study OF Latin and Grcel
is better orgapized, tho ground has beer
thoroughly worked over, and all or neAfl,
all OF its capabilities are known and may b,
used 10 tho purpose. believe however tina
tho time Is last coming when English ant
other modern Languages will DO 80 studied u
10 offer to the great msioriIy Of student
advantages moro valuable for their purpose
than those offered by tho ancient classics
Aud this Is one Of the problems which hop
TO 900 this university take an honorable ran
| In helping 10 solve.
