Standard Coins ofthe world.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-The director of mint has estimated the value of the standard coins of the various nations of the world to be proclaimed by the Secretary of the Treas ury on January 1, 1885. The price of silver bullion for the last three months compared with it's prices for the corresponding period in 1883 declined from 1.11413 to 1.099465 per fine ounce, which gives reduced valua tion for the silver coins of countries where silver is the sole standard of value of the actual circulation. This valuation changes the estimated value of the following coins from that proclaimed January 1, 1884, as follows;
 Florin of Austria from 39 8 to 393
 Boliviano of Bolivia from S0.6 to 79.5.
 Peso of Ecuador from S06 to 795
 Rupee of India from 38.3 to SIS.
 Yen of Japan from 86.9 to 85.S.
 Dollar of Mexico from S7.5 to S6.4.
 Sol of Peru from S0.6 to 79.5.

Evils of Gossip.

Can the evil wrought by gossip be
estimatedg We think not. A wise
woman can hardly say too little in COM
pany ii the conversation trenches in the
least on scandal. Many a social, noble
minded woman has been obliged to with
draw herself from neighborhood init
macy, which would have been pleasant
otherwise, because her remarks are re-
turned by some idle tale, so perverted
as to make her doubt the existence
of genuine friendship, and accept
loneliness for the sake OF the safety it
brought. 'You say 1--WE must talk about
something" Yes, and through that
very fact we see remedy for the evil,
to 80 thoroughly interest ourselves in
other and better things that we find no
space for our neighbor's affairs. Let us
talk of Our work, our homes, our housc-
plants, our books, or our babies Let
us teach our eyes to find beauty every
where, while we blind them by constant
watchiulness to blemishes. Never, un
der any circumstances, cast the first
stone. Then, if any erring neighbor
goes down, you cannot blame yourself
for assisting the downfall.
