900, 600. The total expended from APP
preparations for the support of the
minis and essay Offices during the
year amour tee to 81, 291, 977. The
charges collected Of depositors for
parting and refining bullion amount
ed to $26S, 409, for which $247, 79S was
used IN paying the expenses of the
operation. The total earnings and
gains from all sources amounted to
$543, 102, and the total expenditures
of all kinds amounted to 81. 676. OO2.
The essays made by the essay com
missioners and the monthly ESSAYS of
the essayer of the mint bureau show
that the coinage of the year was in all
cases within the limit of tolerance and
close to the standard of flneness.
The director estimates the produc-
ton of the mines fer the calendar year
1884 as follows: Gold, 500, GOO, 900;
silver, 5000, 000-which is about
81, 900, 900 less in gold and not quite
So, 200, 900 more IL silver than for the
previous year. Replies received to
firms engaged IN manufacture and re-
pair of articles of ornamentation and
use in the United States show an an
nual consumption of the precious
metals for those purposes of over 500
900, 600, of which $14, 500, 900 were gold
and S., 500, 600 silver. The director es-
Inmates the amount of coin in the
country on October 1 to have been:
Gold, 1857, 100000; silver, 1887, 900, 900,
a total of 1914, 0OO,OO He arrives at
these figures by adding to his last esti-
mate the coinage Cess recoinage) and
excess of imports, and deducts the
amount used in the arts and manu-
features. Counting as part of the
metallic circulation the bullion ia the
nints and essay offices belonging to
the government, which amounte
Oct. 1 to nearly $53, 100000 In gold
and about 100000 IN silver, the
total amount of coin and bullion
available for coinage at that date la
the country would be: Gold, $780,
900 900; silver, 1862, 100000 a total of
1872 600, 600.
The coinage in 1888 of 90 principal
countries of the world amounted to
over SOL, 900, 600 In gold and $113,
0O0,00 in silver. Of the silver coin
age nearly one-fourth was executed
in the United States and two-fifths by
Mexico and India. In the coinage of
gold the United States still stands
first, Germany following with a
coinage of $2t, 000,O 900, Austria, &c.

The Exposition.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 16.-The day
of inauguration of the ceremonies at
the worlds exposition opened bright
and cheerful, and thousands made
preparations early In the morning to
witness the long expected event. Pub
lie and private buildings were gaily
decorated. The procession formed at
il o'clock and proceeded to the expo
sition grounds where at $40 p. m. the
exposition was formally opened.
Arriving at the grounds the pro
cession moved to the exposition build
ing, and at one o'clock DR.. Talmage
advanced to thc front of the stage
and made the opening prayer. He
invoked the divine blessing on the
officers, directors and managers of
the association. He said:
May this day mark the Beginning of new dis
pensation of prosperity and brotherhood. May
there come from the influences of this exposition,
from these fields of industry, results which shall
give the people more complete apparel, better
food, more comfortable shelter, and more thor
ough educational advantages. May it result IN
spreading out of the golden sails of our paralyZed
shipping in starting the pillow and opening the
doors of our store houses; and may there come
to this whole land increased prosperity from this
gathering together from day to day and month
to month of peeple of all the states and coun-
tries. We pray that the past feeling of sectional
discord may disappear and the south, north and
east and west may become four parts of the great
national harmony, and may it be the unifcation
of the north and south Of America.
DR.. Talmage then invoked a bles-
sing to God on the manufacturing
industrial, educational and reforma-
tory institutions. The World Cour-
iers military band of Cincinnati,
then gave grand exposition march.
Director Gen. Burke when the APP
plause which greeted him. and the
repeated cheers of the people had
subsidized, delivered a short elCGue ut

ed some of their selections, conclUd-

which was wired to Washington.
Col. Gus A. Breaux then read Pres
ident Arthur's address, which had
Just been received by telegra phi.
When he concluded the sentence de-
claring the worlds exposition open,
and at the same moment the president
in Washington closed the electric
current and the machinery here was
put in motion, large portrait of
President Arthur was placed la POS
ton in the centre of the platform, and
greeted with round after round of
applause. in the midst of which Mayor

Tons of Gold and Silver Coin.

The annual report of the director of
the United States mint was made pub
tic few days ago. 1t is a document
that is always read with great interest
by all classes of people. There Is a
glamour of romance over the details
of manufacturing fabulous sums Of
mOney-tons and tons of bright new
gold AMI silver coins. The report
shows that the deposits of gold during
the year amounted to SAC, 1876 $40, of
which over $29, 900, 900 was of domes-
tic production. The silver purchased
for coinage and deposited for bars
amounted at its coming value to $780,

of domestic production. The total
value of the gold and silver deposited
and purchased, including redeposits,

SIS 310--were prepared at the mints
and essay Offices. Gold bars were

Over 100000 ounces of bullion,

He Is Happy.
From Puck.

It is not always the costliest home
that is the happiest. Now take the
Indian w1gwam. 1t doesn't contain
the luxuries of the bank presidents
home. All the carpet is an odd rope
or two; the luxurious arm chair is the
ground, and there is no bric-a- brac ex-
cept a scalp or two. Yet the Indian
is happy. There is not a shadow to
dim the pure old gold sunshine of his
wild life. He sees the smoke curl
softly upward from under the kettle
that contains his meal, and foat
away Through the rustling needles of
the pine.
This picture makes his happiness
complete, as he lies on the ground
calmly smoking and watching his
wife do all the work. It is no wonder
the Indian likes home, because that is
the place where he never has any
thing to do but sit around and sleep.
When he comes In from the hunt he
is never sent off to the village to have
some cretonne matched, or told to sit
and hold three or four hanks of yarn
that are to be wound; he doesn't have
to take care of the papoose while his
squaw goes out shopping; he doesn't
have to stand on a barrel and build
up the obstinate stove-pipe section by
section, with the SCOT pouring down
in his eyes. He isn't asked what every
woman he met had on, and is conse-
quenIly not blown up for not having
noticed.
Think what a happy home the Ia
dian has, when you come to consider
that his wife dosen't wear silk dresses
or $50 bonnets, or care any thing
about the opera, or horses or carri-
ages Why, the squaw is perfectly
happy in blouse and pair of army
trousers. The noble woman makes
every sacrifice to render her husband
happy He never knows what it is to
be kept awake half the night to be
talked into making some frivolous
and unL ecessary purchase, Or TO
learn that the squaw in the next wig
wan possesses something that his
does not. These are some of the
things that tend to make the Indian s
home happy

Whitefish in the Great Lakes.
New York World.
Forest and Stream.

Year after year the State Fish Com
missioners of Wisconsin and ether
states have freely stocked the waters
of the lakes with young whitefsh.
Yet year by year the catch of white
fish dlmishes, until now the exter-
mination of tbs valuable species of
food is threatened. Where do the
wbltefsh go? The answer is not far
to find. Exhaustive experiments have
been made and proved that the artific-
ial stocking of the lakes through the
madium of state fsh-hatcheries is in
itself successful. Healthy young fish
by the millions-and more whitefsh
than fish of other varieties-have
been deposited IN Lake Michigan, and
in spite of any adverse natural con
ditions they have lived and thriven.
But experiments have proved, too,
that whitefish are exceptionally ten
der; and, unlike many other and
harder varieties, they hug close to the
shore. where the water is shallow and
warm. These shallow reaches of the
lakes from Chicago to Buffalo are al
most literally lined by trap nets, set by
the jewellers along the shore. In such
nets, with fish of larger size, the par
TALLY grown whitefsh are caught.
When the nets are pulled up, these
latter are taken out and-net preserv-
ed for food, but thrown back into the
water dead, being too small for use.
Thus thousands upon thousands are
killed every year on almost every mile
of shore line along the lakes. Here,

BaItimore's Handsome Wem en-.

New COnlIn0Ecldl AQVerLS6r.
Baltimore has always been noted
for its beautiful women, and its views
upon matrimony are entitled to the
res oect that is due to the experience
which fit opportunities should afford.
Though in the spring, says a sage of
that city, there is general tendency
''in the direc tion of love and double
blessedness," yet man is independent
of the season, and there is something
snug and solacing in the idea of being
married off comfortably for the via
ter, and the honeymoon may be made
doubly joyous by being com bined,
unless ii should prove to be very short
indeed, with the Christmas holidays.
There has beeu no important meas
ure discussed in the House OF Com
mons during Mr.. Gladstone's ministry
which as not introduced, with the
acc ,mpan M at of of q long speech, by
that statesman himself.
