The GiIt1cd Frauds.
SOME OF THE FIGURES WITH WHICH THE CUT
VENCy Tg CT AMpFD

SOME OF THE FIGURES WITH WHICH THE CUR
RENCY rs STAMPED.
The trouble over the new five-cent piece
seems rather to increase than otherwise,
and it is quite certain that people in Rich
mond have been fooled by the new coin,
which was issued for no good purpose yet
discovered by the public. In addition to
the grumbling in the city, kilograms from
all over the country announce the arrest OF
parties for circulating the coin gilded so as
to resemble five-dollar gold piece. The
circus season is already opened. and many
an unwary countryman will have his eye
teeth cut by the side-shownIan and the
fakirs. One OF these gentry recently started
from Philadelphia with 5000 OF these
giIded frauds, with which he intends to
take in the unsuspecting Granger.
Charles T.. Barber, the engrayer OF the
Philadelphia Mint, said Tuesday "The
figure on the face OF the coin was copied
from no engraving or bust, and is copy
OF no ones face that ! know or ever saw.
| engraved the design to represent the
Goddess OF Liberty. The fault with our
present system OF coinage is that there is
no fixed style, and changes are constantly
being made. There should be uniform
style for gold, silver, and alloy coins. Take
the pennies. There is the old cart-wnecl
penny, the buzZard penny. and the present
style with an-Indan's head. There are
the three-cerrS shad-scales and the one
marked with the numeral. In fiye-cent
pieces there are two styles OF the old sill
yer piece. the old nickel, the present one,
and when 1t is stamped cents across
the face that will make five different vare-
ties. The ten-cent piece has been changed
but once. They took the eagle off to give
it a rest and substituted wreath. fou
remember" he continued, "the racket
raised over the twentv-cent piece, OF course.
Everybody swore about il, and il was soon
Withdrawn and no one shed a tear. The
quarter and half-dollar coins have been un-
changed. In the dollar coin we have the
dollar OF our daddies,' the trade dollar,
and the Bland dollar, Of which California
now has so many that there is no room LETT
to stow away any more in the mint and the
coinage had to stop. In the gold coins
there has been no change Of any moment,
but there is no similarity in the style. II
there were one could detect at glance that
it was IN American coin.
"Oh, yes" said Mr.. Barber, "therc is n
large demand for the new nickel yet. But
| cannot see how people can be deceived
by the gilded fiye-cent piece. In size they
are similar to the lye-dolar coin, to be
sure. but the edge OF the gold piece is
milled and the nickel is smooth. The
figures Of the Goddess OF Liberty are very
different also, but the most striking differ
ence is the color-the gilded nickel looks
| like brass medal"
\ demand has sprung up in Richmond
| for old fiye-cent. pieces OF the coinage OF
! 1SS3-those that were made IN 1888 before
| the minting Of "the gilded fraud" was
commenced. They are reported to be
worth twenty-five cents apiece.

There was q gathering Of about seventy
five horsemen and others at Mr.. George
Watts farm, near Gaines's mill, yesterday,
and nearly all the hounds Of the country
were brought out to what was one of the
finest foX-hunts OF the season. Three red
foxes had been secured, and were loosed
AT proper intervals. One was chased nearly
to Richmond, and there was lots OF fun
for horses, men, and hounds; but the poor
foxes-well, they were badly treated.
The fact that Mr.. Watt is the distin-
guished promoter of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals, and is
gentleman Of well-known kindlineSS OF
heart. makes ii the more surprising that he
should be prosecuting so amiable an animal
as the red fox. The Society will probably
deem it q matter Of sufficient moment to
appoint committee Of inquiry.
