Rare Pieces of Coin.

Numerous pennies of the date of
1893, the year in which they were
first coined in this country, have
come to light since the puklication
that Colonel Snowden, of the United
States Mint, estimated penny of
that issue TO be worth about 500 to
a ntmismatist who desired it to
completes collection. Several vari-
eties of cents were coined in that
year tor Congress TO select from. The
rarest anj most valuable specimens
of the sample pennies are those with
the inscription United States of
Ameri.," the word America being
abbreviated by dropping the ''ca."
1t is one of this variety that oecu-
pies place in the Mint cabinet. and
for which SIS was paid. This coin
is considered perfect and a compau-
ION to it would bring from SS5 to
sl00. The value of rare coin is due
almost entirely to its condition. If
It has not been circulated, and is as
perfect as when it fell from the die,
the highest price is commanded.
The slightest flaw detracts from its
value. Old coin dealers pay from
IS to $40 for fair specimen of the
rarest variety of the issue of 1893.
John W. Haseltine, coin Collector, of
No. 2O,l South Eleventh street, says
that. with the exception of the PEN
ny containing the abbreviated in
scription, the value of pennies OF
1893 range from so cents to s5. The
most common specimen, and conse-
quently the least valuable, is the one
containing the Goddess of Liberty,
with flowing hair.

A New Lesson in Natural History

1t now transpires that white ele-
plants are not white. but are dus-
ty yellow color instead. This sim
gular discovery has been oppor-
tunely made. 1t is popularity un-
dsrstood that within a short time
Mr.. p. T. Bernum will add to his
collection of natural curiosities one
of these remarkable beats.-If, there
fore, those who are gifted with knowl-
edge on the subject had withheld
the information concerning their
color from the public, until after the
arrival of Barpum's specimen, it is
just possible that some hypercritical
mertals might have doubted the
genuineness of the animal. That
weuld have been lamentable con-
sequence, involving in duty the char
acter of Mr.. Barnum as a provider of
genuine curiosities.
But this lesson in natural history
is not the only fresh incident to MI.
Barnums acquisition, nor is it the
the least painful. That instead of
white the color is really that of n
dirty oak-grained door is bad enough,
ana when Mr.. Barnum extracted
that information from the several
persons in this county who have
spent more or less of their early lives
among the white elephants of Siam,
he ought to have sllenced them.
But unfortunately these persons are
as loquacious as a western trapper or
East India miner, and when once
started on their favorite subject of
white elephants don't know where
and when to stop. In this particu-
lar instance to talk to the press diff
fer, but the majority of them deny
the sacred character of the animal.
This is too bad. That Mr.. Bar
mum should 90 to the pains and ex-
pense which according to his state
ment he has done to procure sa-
cred white elephant which is neither
sacred nor white, is simply prepos-
tereus. One of the persons, in
speaking on the subject. says the
animals of which Barnum's is a
specimen are simply diseased ele-
plants, which, owing to their iLher-
tied or acquired infrmities, are ten
} derlv treated, and by reason of this
fact fail to develop the natural vigor
of the body and color of hide.-He
) adds with blush, too, that they car
be purchased readily at an expense
,of from e300 to e400 sterling, and
being worthless, are expensive al
that price. This is certainly an
enormous lie. Mr.. Barnum has
) stated repeatedly that his white ele
plants was procured at a cost Of
something like a million dollars anc
at the pains of the most difficult
; diplomatic negotiations not alone
with the king of Siam, but with the
priests of various degree of that po
tentate's dominions. To doubt MIR
Barnum's word is simply tojoin tha
army of malefactors who have a
various times during the presen
generation and the last pronounced
him humbug, and this is out ofthe
question. To let Mr.. Barnum ouI
of tight place, therefore, it is prob
ably well to accept the new doctrln'
as to color, but the sacred characteI
, of the yellow or mottled colored ele'
phant should be insisted on at any
, hazard.

homes For the Newly Married.

In a book recently published Rev.
Dr.. Hall gives some excellent ccun-
sci to young people, a portion Of
which, treating of the question of a
home after getting married, we
quote:
at is good for the newly married
as a rule to begin by themselves to-
gether, without the officious direc-
ton of others, however well mean
ing, and it is good, if possible, to be
in a home, not a boarding house nor
hotel. 1t may be love III a cottage"
and the cottage NAV be humble, but
it is commonly better adapted to the
growth of a pure, true, simple life
than rooms in one OF those nen-mil-
itary barracks which the needs of
our great cities are supposed to de-
mand. A mess-table is doubtless
proper for the officers of a regiment
or a group of monks. The passen-
gers Of train or an ocean steamer
of course can properly dine together,
but for young married people, it is
best that they should live together,
their door closing out the world :
that they should be all in all, under
God 10 each ether that the young
wife should not be pursued by calca-
lations as to how she looks TO a hun
dred spectators; that he and she
should plan together, wisely adapt
their modes and habits Of life to
means and prospects, always remem-
bering that it is comparatively easy
to so up, but exceedingly difficult ts
descend gracefully. A modest, self
contained dwelling is morally more
healthy, more conclusive 10 perma-
nent happiness, more likely to have
its grace before meat" its family
altar, and Its practical prudence in
management. than the incest apart
ments in the most attractive hotel.
Better to begin a: the beginning, and
conquer the prosaic difficulties OF
life while the poetry of early love is
still real, and while the later cares
and anxieties of life are not vet
pressing, than to be forced to the
task when other and inevitable bur.
dens have TO be carried"

How to have better Preaching.

A minister, DIR. E. addressing a
in Albany, alluded
to touching incident in his own
ministry. Being at the house of one
of his members, he was present at
that affecting moment when two
little boys knelt at their mothers
feet for their evening devotiOns.
Their prayer was as follows:
80 God, bless my dear father and
mother bless my dear brother; bless
NY dear minister.
DIR. E, described the emotion of
his own soul at that time which
forty wears have not erased from his
memory, nor tho sense OF assurance
he then received, that his ministry
would be blessed to the church and
people. After giving the history OF
these little boys, one of whom is now
in heaven, he said to the Sabbath
school:
Next to your father, mother, and
brother, pray for your minister. You
will love him more; you will feel the
influence of your prayers pervadlng
his inmost soul, and he will preach
better to you.
On Monday morning little girl
came running to her mother, say
ing:
1--WE are going to have better
preaching next Sabbath"
How, so? inquired the mother.
Mr.. E. told Us yesterday that if
we PRAYED for our minister he would
preach better for it, and | prayed
for our minister last night"
A beautiful illustration of a con-
fidlng spirit of true Christian faith.
None but Christ himself could so IL
lustrate the spirit of his own king
dom-the father OF a child. Well
did he say. Suffer little children to
come unto me, and forbid them
not for of such is the kingdom Of
God"
Let all christian hearers learn how
to have better preaching. The

Always 4 Failure

Who will say that the Democratic
party has not reformed? ? Look back
forty. thirty, or even twenty years
and what does it proclaim to-day as
principles which it then declared
were essential to the well-being and
prosperity Of the country ? Human
slavery. and the methods to bind its
chains was a Democratic pet. 1t
was hard money and nothing else.
The war was failure" Repudia-
ton of the public debt certainty
and necessity. Reconstruction i'm
possible. What will they say on all
such questions and many more in
1884? The Republican party, back
ed by the millions of freemen, tore
the shackles from 100000 slaves,
and made every foot of American
soil free, and every man freeman
under the law. 1t established
currency, the best the world has ever
seen, and which the Democratic par
ty dare not assail. While it has
paid the debt it owes its crippled
veterans with generous hand, 1t
has gone steadily along paying in
huge slices the National indebted
ness. 1t has, by wise legislation re-
duced interest from 10 per cent to 3.
By protection to our industries man
ufactories have sprung up all over
the land, and the busy wheels of
commerce were never buster. No
nation at any time has had such
reason to rejoice over the large pros
perity to the entire people as the
United States to-day. Will the Dem
ocratic party, whose representatives
are to assemble the Sth of July in
Chicago, dare repeat its platform of
twenty years ago when assembled in
the same place? Was the war a
failure? Has the country proved
failure? Has there been any fail
ure to pay the honest debts of the
Nation? /? As far as the law is con-
cerned, has there been any failure in
reconstruction And any and every
failure in the poorest and weakest
citizen to receive his individual
rights lays at the feet of the Demo-
cratic party. lfthe Democratic par
ty of to-day could sweep all the past
of history out of existence and start
new without principle it would be
in better trim to win a battle in a
contest with intelligent people.
How would it do to declare, "Where-
as, the Democratic party has always
been failure, and every principle it
ever advocated as party has be-
come obsolete by the advance Of CIV
ilizaton and intelligence, therefore
resolved, We will wi pc out all the
past and start new ?" That would
look honest, at least, and even that
would be large gain over present
appearances Inter Ocedu.

Worth a Licking.

Some years ago IN Georgia that
band of Christians known as Ascen-
sionists were having grand revival.
One day when the meeting was IN
full force storm came up, and a
Young gentleman who was out hunt-
ing with his servant took refuge in
the church door. Being curious to
see the service the two hunters crept
up into the gallery, and there hid
in a place where they could observe
without being observed.
Come, Lord, come; our robes
are ready. Come, Lord, come,
cried the preacher, while all present
gave loud " AmenW
Marsa Gabe," whispered Cuffey,
lifting his hunting horn to his mouth
i" let me glib dem just one toot.
Put that horn down or I'll break
your head" replied the master in a
whisper.
The horn dropped by Cuffy's
side, and again the minister cried
Come, Lord, come; we are all
ready for Thy coming; come Lord
come"
do, Masa Gabe-do jest lemme
glib 'em jist one little tool" pleaded
Cuffy, wetting his lips and raising
the horn.
"If you don't drop that horn,
Cuffy; III whip you within an inch
of your life," whispered the exas-
perated master.
Blow, Gabriel, blow; we are
ready for his coming. Blow, Ga
briel, blow'' pleaded the min
lister.
Cuffy could no longer resist the
temptation. and sent a wild peal
ringing from end to end of the
church /; but long before its last
echo died away his master and him
self were the only occupants of the
building.
"I's ready fur de licking, Marsa

tooth in his head, for | clare tc

Old Monongahela.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2S.-By an
act Of Assembly the mercantile APP
praisers OF the respective counties
are required to report to their Coun-
ty Treasurer all the breweries and
distilleries in their counties and the
amount manufactured by each. The
breweries aud distilleries are theE
classified under this return und the
rate to be paid by each for a license
is fixed. William Britton, che own
er Of a distillery in Brownsville,
Fayetto county. paid the tax levied
ander this act and proceeded to sell
liquors in Connellsville and other
places in the same county. His re-
ceipt from the County Treasurer
stated that he was entitled. bv the
payment of the tax, to sell liquor in
the county of Fayette He was pros
ocuted on the ground that his license
did not entitle him to sell the pro-
ducts of the distillery at any place
other than where they were manu-
factured. He contends that his
license gave him the right to sell any
where in the county.
The Court of Quarter Sessions of
Fayette county did not support this
claim, and gave judgment against
him. The Supreme Court, however,
reversed the lower tribunal in an
opinion filed by Justice Clark. They
hold that any such interpretion OF
the law weuld deprive a distillery
entirely of the right to soil, inasnauch
rs the United States statute requires
the liquor 10 be removed from the
place of manufacture as soon as the
United States tax is paid, under
penalty of forfeiture. If, therefore,
the judgment of the lower court
should be affirmed, distiller or
brewer would be between two fires,
the State law forbidding what the
United States law enjoins. The
judgment is reversed and the record
remanded.
