WASHINGTON, D, G., November4.-Anew
method of mutilating silver currency is be-
ing employed by number Of patent med
icinevenders and others to advertiseheir
goods and wares. OF late large numbers
OF coins have been received in the Treasury
which are stamped on one side with nd
yertisemeRts. The stamps used are some
part Of die, which cuts letters and words
into the coin. In most instances the name
OF the owner Of the article advertised is not
cut on the coin, but tho advertisement
simply recommends o certain nOstrum or
article. As the coin is stamped only on
one side it can be passed very readily, ex-
posing only the perfect side: This is
mutilatiOn OF the currency and q violation
Of law, The Secret Service has been di.
reCted to investigate this and hunt out and
prosecute the offenders,
UNLAWFUL TRAFFIC IN POSTAGE STAMPS.
Large numbers Of cases Of violation OF
the law prohibiting traffic in postage stamps
are now attracting the attention OF the

are hunting up offending postmasters all

den to sell stamps except in the locality to
which their Office belongs, but many OF
thOm violate this law. One postmaster in
o small village In Virginia has made u
profit OF nearly $500 in the last few months
selling stamps to Baltimore merchants at
10 per cent discount. The postal authori-
ties say they are determined to break up
this traffic,

OF PAPER.

If the amount of paper consumed by a
nation has any bearing upon the ques-
tion of enlightenment and civilization,
England and the United States take the
lead Of the world. England produces
annually $50, 900 tons, and uses about
five kilogrammes (about eleven pounds)
for each unit of it's population. The
United States produces 207, 900 tons, and
consumes five kilogrammes per head.
Germany produces 203, 600 tons, and
consumes 4.76 kilogrammes; and France
produces 1872, 600 tons, and consumes
1868 kilogrammes. The consumption of
paper in other countries is in the fol-
lowing order: Switzerland, Belgium,
Holland, Austria, Italy, Sweden, Portu-
gal. Switzerland uses 4.54 kilogrammes
per head and Portugal l.SO kilogrammes.
Austria produces 81, 200 tons; Italy, So,
600; Russia, 80, 400; Spain, 80, 900. Tur-

Owing to the storm the wires have
been badly demoralized for the past "a
hours. Not a line of press report from
the East was received yesterday by any
newspaper ON this coast. Some Eastern
matter, a day old, was repeated back
from Virginia City, but it is in the main
embarrassing, to say nothing of the
faint of s~taleness which pervades it. A
note from the operator states that the
chief trouble with the wires occurred in
the vicinity of Cheyenne. From this it
is to be inferred that a great storm has
been raging on the plains.

Another important strike has been made
in the Monitor mine, on the north side OF
the ~ravine, where the owners have been at
work all Winter. A short time ago while
grading for q road the first evidence Of ore
was discovered on that side Of the ravine.
A blast was put in which threw out moth
ing else but ore, and they have been in ore
ever since. An open cut has been run in
on 1t exposing a bank of ore about nine
feet high. Mr.. Lyons, one of the owners,
says it is all good milling ore of the freest
character. A bonanza may be opened up
there Of no small proportions.
W. G. Lyons, one of the owners OF the
Monitor mine in Taylor District, left for
Silver Canyon on Monday last for the pur-
pose OF making arrangements, if possible,
to have a large number Of tons OF ore
from the Monitor worked in DR.. Brooks
mill, 1t being the nearest and most acces-
sible point to the mine. 1t is to be hoped
he will succeed in making arrangements.
A mill test will do more to bring TAYLOR
into prominence than anything else. They
have ore enough in site to build O mill Of
their own.

We note that some of the Democratic
Senators are talking Of voting for the
confirmation of Stanley Matthews as a
member of the United States Supreme
Bench. Stanley Matthews did more
to overthrow the expressed will
Of the American people and rob
Mr.. Tilden of the Presidential
chair than any other single individual in
all the land. Being related to Hayes by
marriage, he stopped at nothing, no mat
ter how corrupt, to get the latter into
the exalted position. With this record
still fresh, the Democrat who votes for
him ought to be damned ~eternally.

THE RULING PASSION.

1t is said that the ruling passion is
strong in death. A clergyman stood by
the bedside OF a dying broker and said to
him: "My friend, there are only two
roads for you to choose. One is narrow,
contracted, thorny; but it leads above.
The other is broad, pleasant, 1owery;
but it leads to death" "Don't talk to me
about a choice between your broad-gauge
and narrow-gauge roads," answered the
broker; "why, they'll be consolidated in
less than a week. and then you're all
right if you hold stock in either"
