is given by using Browns
IRON B1TTERs. In the
Winter it strengthens and
warns the system; in the
Spring it enriches the blood
and conquers disease; in the
Summer it gives tone to the
nerves and digestive organs;
in the Fall it enables the
system to stand the shock
of sudden changes.
In no way can disease be
so surely prevented as by
keeping the system in per-
feet condition. Browns
IRON B1TTERs ensures per-
feet health through the
changing seasons, it disarms
the danger from impure
water and miasmatic air,
and it prevents Consump-
ton, Kidney and Liver Dis

LARGE CROWD AND A COOP TIME.-Last
Thursday the Baptist Sunday School had theil
annual picnic excursion, this time to Alton
1t was most successful affair in all respects
being in fact one Of the largest and most enjoy
able excursions that ever left Staunton. This
school Is always liberal in arranging for occa
sions of the sort. They sell limited number
of tickets to outsiders. but to members Of the
school tickets are without money and without
price," so that the poorest boy or girl may not
be kept from going. Alton, beautifully stu.
ated near the top Of the Blue Ridge. is perfect
gem of a place for picnic, and everything
was favorable for having a good time. The
weather, although threatening in the morning
proved just cloudy enough to hide the sun. and
made the day all the more pleasant. Soon after
reaching the grounds the party divided into
squads and spent the day singing, pitching
quoits, playing croquet, ten-pins, etc., and
listening all the while to the sweet music Of
our splendid stonewall Band who accompanied
| them and who added greatly to the enjoyment
Of the occasion.
The excursionists had an unexpected treat
and one not on the programme, in being favor
ed with addresses by DR.. J. B. Hawthorne
| the eloquent pastor of the First Baptist church
| Richmond, and Rev. w. II. Williams, late
pastor in Charlottesville. Ind who leaves this
| month to take editorial charge Of the Central
Baptist fSt. Louis. The addresses.were particu.
| larly appropriate and happy. Altogether our
Baptist friends may well be congratulated upon
| the success of their picnic. May they have
many more Of the same sort.

PLUGGING SILVER COINS.
what Constitutes a silver Coin. and
How Far Coin msV be Tempered
with SAFELY, According TO a Mas
sschusetts Judge.

Boston Correspondence CHICAGO Tribune.
In the United States Circuit Court, re-
Gently. Judge Lowell gave decision in
the case Of the United States vs. Benia-
min l.. Lissier. The defendant was con.
victed at the spring term of the District
Court on two indictments charging him
with utterIDg counterfeit coin half and
quarter dollars. This coin had holes
punched or drilled in them, some of
which were filled subsequently, with the
above metal, and all had been bought at
a slight discount and passed. The court
orders new trial on the ground that the
pleadings and evidence did not discrimi-
nate between these two two kinds of al
terations, but in the course of his
opinion Judge Lowell says
Silver coins of the denominations of
quarter dollars and half dollars are re
quired to be made of certain weight
and tineness. and are lawful tender in
payment of debts to the amount of ten
dollars and are to be received by the
Treasury in exchange for lawful money
in sums of twenty dollars or any mul-
tiple thereof. In the case of gold coins
the law is that when reduced in weight
below the standard they are good tender
at proportional value We find no
such provision made for silver coins. If
such coin has had an appreciate
amount of silver removed from it. we
cannot say that it remains a good coin
for its original value. If, then, the hole
is plugged with base metal, or with any
substance other than silver, this act is an
act of counterfeiting, because it is max.
ing something appear to be good coin
for its apparent value, which was not
so before. We are, therefore, of opinion
that the ruling and conviction were
proper in respect to those coins which
had been drilled and afterward filed up.
On the other hand, we do not consider it
criminal act, whatever the intention
may have been, to add base metal to a
good coin, and We see no ground for
holding that hole punched through a
coin with sharp instrument, crowding
the silver into slightly different shape,
but leaving it all in the coin, has any eff
feet to render it less valuable or less law
full tender than before. The statutes are
silent upon this exact question, but we
think it clear that silver coin duly is
sued from the mint remains of fulLvalue
so long as it retains all the appearance
of coin, and does, besides, contain all
its original weight and fineness. This
being so, we cannot regard the addition
of something to it as a criminal act of
counterfeiting. Passing such a coin
works no injury to the person to whom
it is passed.

AN EGYPTIAN QUEENS CANOPY.
The Pail Found Stretched over the
Coma of SOlOmOn's Contemporary
London Nature.

The ancient pail, found in the recent
discovery of royal mummies in Egypt,
was composed of numerous pieces of
leather tanned by the bark of the sont
or acacia, and sewn together by red cord
and is supposed to have covered the
mOrtuary cabin of the sacred boat or
horse, to which it formed a kind of
baldaCchino. 1t is exceedingly brittle,
and the cOlOrs are still well preserved,
the centre nine feet long by six feet wide,
and divided into two equal sections. one
of which is covered by pink and yellow
rosettes on a blue ground, the other dls
playing six vultureS flying with extend
ed wings ana holding feather sceptres in
their claws; they are separated from one
another by horizontal lines of hierogly-
| phics, the name and titles of Masaharu-
ia, high priest of Amen Ra, the deity of
| Thebes, and row of pink rosettes on a
yellow ground. On either side is flap
divided from the central section by four
bands of cOlOrs-blue, red, yellow and
| greenland further divided by border
of spearhead pattern. Below this comes
row of panels containing a row
of emblematical devices, predomi-
nant amongst which is the scarbRns.

Speaking of driving reminds me of the
new fOur-in-hand of the President that
made trial" trip the other day. Ii
bert, who has handled the ribbons ever
since Gen. Grant went into the White
House, about IA years, took out the four
bays, and was accompanied by Alan
Arthur, who manifested much honest,
boyish delight over their good behavior.
| Albert always enjoyed Gen. Grants
fourth hand, and is pleased to have the
opportunity again. He drove around
the curved drive leading TO the White
House to "show off" the new horses.
little Nellie Arthur and her little girl
visitor running out to the door to see
them, quite full of childish excitement.
The President happened to be at the
window of his own room, and he soon
caught the enthusiasm, and called out:
Bring them up here, Albert" But Albert
seemed too intent on the happy privilege
of handling a four finland, and for
some moments did not hear the call from
the window, indeed, not till the Presi-
dent clapped his hands and got his at
tention. Then he went round with a
flourish of the ribbons and his dark face
quite beamiDg, and drew up under the
window to report the new team, have
always felt as much interest in the horses
as in any other part of the administra-
lion. One rarely loses faith in horses
and dogs. They can be kept out of poll
tics. So | have been acquainted with
the horses of every administration for
some time. Gen. Grant had the finest
horses. Mr.. Hayes was content with
pair of grays that were commonplace,
but eminently respectable. Mr.. Garfield
bought span of bays after he entered
the White House. He took them on
trial, and, if satisfactory, was to pay
$500 for them. He kept them, and after
his death they were sent back to Ohio.
Mr.. Arthur brought on a pair of bay
carriage horses from New York, bay
saddle horse he had used, and a black
saddle horse that had belonged to Mrs
Arthur. The new horses are the lead
ers, bought here, not because extraordi-
nary, but because they match, in color,
build and size, the other BAYS with
which they are to be driven. These
leaders are a trifle smaller, but in every
way are a handsome match. All four
have the square cut tail Alan Arthur
has a pair of pretty light buggy horses,
also bay, but lighter shade He drives
them to a new, very light buggy with
red running gear. 1t is dashing little
turnout, very pretty, and just what
young man of his years delights in. But
the favorite of the stable is the black
horse that Mrs. Arthur always rode.
The animal is small and trim, with a
lovely head, and a coat smooth and
shining as satin. 1t is very gentle,
and is here for the use of Mel
lie Arthur, who is just learn
ing to ride. The President does
not ride, and has rarely done so for two
or three years, but he is much at
