The director Of the mint estimates
that the total gold circulation of the
United States, including bullion in the
treasury, amounted, at the commences
ment of the current month, to $52O,-
100000, Of which about $264,O0000O
was held as treasury and national bank
reserves, and $3.50, 100000 was in actual
circulation. There has been total
gain of gold coin and bullion to the
country since July |, 1879, S23l, ,OOO,-
600, Of which $3j, 100000 was added to
the treasury, $j9,000,0O0 to the banks,
and $li0,O 100000 to active circulation.
The total amount of gold in the coun-
try makes a fair showing compared
with the principal countries of Eu-
rope, being exceeded by two only.
The amount estimated to be in Eng.
land in 1880 was $j96,Q00,000, of
which 42S,OO0,OO0 was in actual cir
culatiOn; and France, with 27000,00O
gold, had a circulation of SS16,00O,OOO.
The larger proportion of gold in active
circulation in the latter two countries
the director attributes in part t. .'.n
fact that their coinage consists a
exclusively of denominations of r.s
value than IS. The largest Eng. sa
gold coin is the sovereign, equivalcut To
$4,6S4 of our money; while in France,
out of a total coinage in the las sty-
enty-seven years of $1,743,2SS,000 gold
nearly SO per cent was in piece less
than $5. In the United States tue
bulk of the gold coinage has heretofore
been In double-eagles. From 1sjl %
to 1880 nearly S920,000,000 were struck
in that coin, 100000 in eagles siU-
100000 in half-eagles, and $42,0oO,O0O
in smaller denominations.
The absorption of sl40,000,00O gold
coin to active circulation in the country
since July l, 1879, he believes is owing
to a considerable extent, to the in
creased coinage since that time, Of de.
nominations less than the double eagle
The coinage of the latter during the
fiscal year 1880 and up to April 80
last, amounted to only S52,0O0000,
while $47, 100000 was struck in eagles
and $i0,000,000 in half-eagles. and
during the same time $55, 100000 of
these coins have been paid out by the
treasury and been retained in active
circulation.

Glory of the Farmer.

The glory of the farmer, according tC
Emerson, is that, in the division OF
labors il is his part to create. All
trade rests at last on his primitive nc.
tivity. He stands close to nature; he
obtains from the earth the bread and
meat. The food which was not he
caused to be. The first farmer was
the first man, and all historic nobility
rests on possession and use Of land,
Men do not like hard work, but every
man has an exceptional respect for
tillage, apd a feeling that this is the
original calling of his race; that he
himself is only excused from it by
some circumstance which made him
delegate it for time to other hands.
If he has not some skill which recon-
mends him to the farmer, some pro-
duct for which the farmer will give him
corn, he must himself return into his
due place among the planters

True

No one has ever CROSSED the Rubi-
con from integrity and virtue, to II life
of vice, without finding it a path of
remorsc and tears" Mr.. Moody said
truthfully, in one of his plain speeches,
"Therc is not day passes but you can
read in the pages Of the daily papers,
THE way of the transgressOr is hard.
You can goto the TOmbs in New York
city, and you will find Il little iron
bridge running from the police court
where the men are tried, right into the
cell. | think the New York officials
have not been noted for their piety in
your time and mine, but they had put
up there in iron letters on that bridge,
The way of the transgressor is hard.
They know that is true. Blot it out if
you can. God has said it. II is true.
The way Of the transgressor is hard.
On the other side of that bridge they
put these words, "A Bridge of Sighs.'
| said to one of the officers, What did
they put that up there forY He re-
piled that most of the young men-for
most of the criminals are young men
AS they passed over that bridge, went
over it weeping. So they called it
the Bridge Of Sighs. What made you
put that other there: The way of the
transgressoris hard?' 'Well,' he said,
1T is hard. l think If you had any
thing to do with this prison, you would
believe that text, The way of the trans
ressor is hard"

"reminiscences OF Webster.

Atlantic Monthly.
Mr.. Webster was Il great favorite in
the department of state, for he made
no removals, and his generous and con
siderate treatment of the clerks won
their affection. His especial favorite
was Mr.. George J. Abbott, a native of
New Hampshire, who had been gradll-
ated at Exeter and Cambridge, and had
then come to Washington to take
charge of a boys school. He was an
accomplished classical scholar, and he
used to hunt up Latin quotations ap.
plicable to the questions of the day,
which Mr.. Webster would commit to
memory and use with effect, His pri
vate secretary was Mr.. Charles Ian
man, young gentleman of literary
and artistic tastes, who was a devoted
disciple of Izaak Walton. The two
would often leave the department of
state for a day of piscatorial enjoyment
at the Great Falls of the Potomac
when Mr.. Webster would throw off
public cares and personal pecuniary
troubles, TO cast his lines with boyish
glee, and to exult loudly when he sue
ceeded in hooking a fish. Another
in the department who enjoyed Mr.
Webster's esteem was Mr.. Zantinger,
the son of purser in the navy. who
possessed rare accomplishments. When
ever Mr.. Webster visited his estates in
New Hampshire or in Massachusetts,
he was always accompanied by one of
these gentlemen who had the charge of
his correspondence.

Emigrant Ship Horrors.

Miss Charlotte G. O'Brien, daughter
of William Smith OBrien, of "Younl
Ireland" fame, sends TO the Pail Nal
Gazette letter entitled "IIorrors of an
Emigrant Ship" which creates pro
found sensation, and will be the sub.
ject of question in the House OF
Commons by ODonnel. Miss O'Brien
visited Queenstown in order to ex.
anime the mode of life of emigrants on
Il steamer, which vessel, however, she
does not name. The following are
the main points: at is unnecessary to
say that wherever the sacred foot of
wealth trOd on this ship all was gold
and silver, shining brass, cleanlines,
comfort and decency. We have come
on board, however, to see emigrants,
and we were determined to see their
quarters first. When we saw the quar-
ters of the single men, description of
slave ships flashed across me. Below
this place our guide showed us deep
hole, saying; Il could not take you
down there, it is much worse than yOn
see. But my business was with the
woman'S quarters, and we went there.
Between two decks, better lighted than
the mems quarters, was a large space
open from one side of the ship to the
other. From one side of the long CEN
trail walk to the outer walks of the
ship were slung two enormous ham
mOcks, one suspended about three feet
from the floor. What was going on in
the other two hammOcks above these |
could not see, but | suppose they were
the same as those below. | suppose
each of these hammOcks carry about
100 persons. They were made from
sail cloth and, being suspended all
around from hooks were perfectly flat.
Narrow strips Of sail-clOth divide this
great bed into bcrths. The strips of
cloth, when the mattresses were out,
formed divisions about eight inches
high. When the mattresses are in ii
must he almost on a level. Now, in
these beds, lie hundreds of men and
women. Any man who comes with
woman, who is, OF calls herself his
wife, sleeps, as a matter of right, in the
midst of hundreds of young women,
who are compelled to live in his
presence day and night. If they re-
move their clothes, they must do so
under his eyes. If they lay down TO
rest it must he beside him. 1t is a
shame even to speak of these things,
but to destroy such an evil it is ncces-
sary to look at these abodes of misery.
In daylight, and when open for inspcc-
tlOn, they are empty, swept and gar
nished. But think of the scene in
darkness Of night, the ship pitching in
when Il glimmcring lamp or
two makes visible TO you this mass of
moaning humanity. Look ut that
young mother with two or three help
less babies in the agOnics of sca-Sick-
ness, unable TO move but over the pros
tra,c bodies Of her fellow sufferers.
Look al this innocent girl-chiId, living
among diSsolutc men and abandoned
women, and half stupciird with suirOca-
tion mud Sca-sickncSS, amid the curses
and grOaH5 of hundreds. If she arises
and llrcs To save her soul, whittier shall
She 90? Again she must tread on the
writing bodies Of men and women.
But the picture is too horrible to he
looked al, the sounds are dreadful 10
