Rec Hlsndation Of .superinte nt:eI.t
tSnov.C?cn.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1l.-Sn0wae Of
the Philadelphia Mint, was before the
House Committee on Coinage to-day in
reference to the extension Of that Mint,
and in the course Of the discussion upon
coinage generally he recommended that,
instead of establishing Branch MINIS,
Superintendent of Assay Offices be au-
thoriZed to issue bullion certificates for
bullion deposited there His recon-
mendatjon was that Superintendent Of
Assay Offices be compelled to receive
both gold and silver bullion on deposit
and issue to depositOrs certificates in
amounts Of so and upwards therefor,
payable 10 bearer, and that these Ger
tihcates shall at once enter into the
general ejaculation of the country.
SnOwden said this WOULD be much
cheaper than 10 establish branch minis
and would serve substantially the same
purpose. This suggestion met with de-
cided favor in the minds Of the COM
nittee. SnOwden WAS asked if he did not
think the issuance of these certificates
would tend to bring silver up TO par
with gold, and he replied in the affir-
native. The committee will give this
subject due attention.

The Chronosccpe.

We clip from an English paper: One
of the most remarkable objects at the
recent meeting of the mechanical en-
gineers at Newcastle was the new
chronoscope for measuring the velocity
and projectile within the bore of a gun,
the invention of Captain Andrew Noble,
late Royal Artillery, now of the firm of
Sir William Armstrong & Co. This
wonderful instrument is capable Of
measuring proportions of time 80 min
ute that tho human mind is as unable
to realize them as it is to grasp ideas of
infinity. To the most of US second of
time seems to pass very rapidly, aclock
denoting tenths of seconds is looked
upon as a most accurate instrument.
What shall We say to machine capa-
BILE of dividing a second into a million
parts to an instrument where the in
accuracy Of the thousandth part of a
second would be a greater comparative
error than the loss of an hour a day by
an ordinary watch?
Captain Noble Is a cousin to n. A.
Fisher Of Sacramento.

Genuine. Eut Humble Heroine

Queen vi ctoria has conferred the
Albert medal Of the second class on Miss
1annah Rosbotham, % years CT age, as
sstant schoomistress, Sutton national
schools. The following is an account
of the services in respect to which the
decoration is recommended: During a
violent gale Of wind on the 18th Of Oc-
tober last, the stone belfry of the Sutton
national schools was blown down, and
fell through the roof into the Infants
school room (where nearly 200 children
were assembled), causing the death of
one and injurirg many Others and fill
ing the room and its galleries with
stones, states and timber. While others
fled for safety, Miss Rosbotham (wno at
the time of the accident was teaching
elsewhere) deliberately entered among
the falling mass and cloud of dust ; and
while fully conscious of the extreme
danger to which she was exposed, re
manned on the spot until every child
had been placed in safety. At the i'm
minent risk of her life, Miss Rosbotham
removed four infants who were partially
covered with debris, and rescued there
from a little girl who WAS completely
buried, and who must inevitably have
been suffoca' ed had not such sallantry
been displayed.
