Gold and Silver.

Bay State Monthly.
Gold in its relative value to silver has
varied greatly at different periods. In
the days Of the patriarch Abraham it
was one to eight; B. c. 1000, it was one
to twelve; B. C. 500, it was one to thir-
teen; at the commencement of the Christ
ian era, is was one to nine: A. d. 500, it
was one to eighteen: in 100, it w0s one
to eight; in 100, it was one to eleven;
in 1J45, it was one to six: 1901, it was one
to two; in 1900. it was one to ten; in 1927,
ii was one to thirteen; in 1900, it was
one to fifteen and one-half; it held the
later ratio, with but slight variation,
uutil 1872, when it began to rise, and in
1876; it rose TO ore TO twenty; it soon
gradually declined, and now stands one
to nineteen and one-half.
Gold to the umount of S1,081, 900, coo
is estimated to have been in existence at
the commencement of the Christian era.
At the period of the discovery of Amer
lea it had diminished to $135, 900. 000
After that event it gradually increased,
and in 1900 it attained $154, 900, 600; in
1900 it reached $398, 600, 900; in 1900 it
amounted to 81, 6.OO0,O 900; in 1853 it
attained to $3,3 900, 900, and at the
present time the amount of gold in ex-
istence is estimated to be $8, 166, coo, 900,
which, if melted into one mass, could be
contained in the basement of the Bunker
Hill monument, which is a cube of thir-
ty feet. OF the amount of gold in exis-
tence, $4,000, 900, 900 is estimated to be
in coin and bullion, and 81 900, 900, 900
in watches, and the remainder in plate,
jewelry and ornaments. OF the amount
Of gold in existence SO, 374 900, 900 is es-
timated to have been obtained from
North America; $1,739, 100000, from
South America; / ,85S, 900, 600 from Asia

A Literary Curiosity.

Pan Mall Gazette.
We note in Mr.. Roche's catalogue
what is really literary curiosity. 1t is
a book published in 1854, entitled Low
Life; or, One Half the World Knows
not How the Other Half Lives; being a
Critical Account of what is transacted
by People of all Religions, Circumstan-
ces and Sizes of Understanding, in the
Twenty-four Hours between Saturday
Night and Monday Morning, in a True
Description of Sunday. Octave. The
book itself is rare, but the copy is re-
markable as having been originally in
the possession of Angus D. Reach, who
presented it to Shirley Brooks; he lent it
to Charles Dickens, who in turn passed
it to w. NJ. Thackeray; it then went into
the hands of George Augustus Sala and
also F. c. Burnand. Mr.. Roche says it
was much used and valued by Dickens,
Thackeray and Sala, the last named
having drawn from its pages the ideas
for his Essay on William Hogarth" and
Twice Round the Clock" Inserted are
several autograph letters by G. A. Sala,
Shirley Brooks, F. G. Burnand, and also
sheet of the original Ms. of Salas
William Hogarth," and an autograph
inscription by w. NJ. Thackeray.

being equal, remember" By that saving
clause, so strongly reiterated, every
thing else being equal" she evidently
meant capability, and, possibly, respect
ability This, taken with the declaration
said to have been used by Mr.. Cleveland
himself, that, as women were not politi-
cal factors, they should not be amenable
to political changes, seems to indicate
that our new President does not mean to
make war upon women. Miss Cleve-
land also declares herself a friend to
every sister woman who tries to better
her condition, and her earnest, sensible,
truthful face emphasized that assertion
as no underlineations Of mine can.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader is responsible for the
following story: It is said that ex-Sen-
ator David Davis one night made some
inyidious and sarcastic remarks on Sc
cretary Evarts' long, thin form, and
pointed to his own immense proportions
in contrast. Evarts replied that the race
was not always to the fattest, and from
this came a bet of Mumm's extra dry
from Davis that he could beat Evarts on
a race of one hundred yards distance
provided Evarts would let him choose
the ground and give him five yards start.
Evarts, who has a frame made up of
steel springs, and who is as active as a
cricket, consented, and the two started
out to make the race in the moonlight.
A number of friends accompanied them,
Evarts leading the way.
AT last they came to an alley not more
than five feet wide, and Judge Davis
told Evarts this would be the race track.
He then took his place fifteen feet in
front of Evarts. The starter said "Go -
and the big fat man and the little lean
one began to trot. At the fourth jump
Evarts had about reached Davis, when
the latter, putting his elbows out so that
they touched the sides of the alley, look
ed back and said, There Evarts take
your time and don't overhead yourself

VOLUSIA BAR.
The Work Being Done on the Jet
ties at that Place.


Jacksonville Herald
Captain w. G.. Hawkins has Just fin
ished two months'job of pile-driving on
Volusia bar, st. Johns river. The Capt
ain says that bad weather greatly re-
tarded his work He drove 1jS piles,
row on each side of the jetties, which
are for the purpose of preventing vessels
striking against the jetties, and to con-
fine all crafts to one course while eros
ing this bar. The piles were driven to
depth of thirteen feet, foot and half
more than the contract specified.
There are various opinions relative to
the best plan of improving this bar.
Some are sanguine that another Oh
struction will be formed at the mouth
of this jetty channel which will prove
more detrimental to navigation than the
bar. This, it is claimed, will be formed
from the deposits swept through the
channel by the tides, and lodged just be-
low it in dead water, which is at all
times apparently mOtionless, and which
can only be removed by dredging ma
chine, which will have to be kept at'work
continually, and require a larger appro-
priation that has ever been made before
for this bar.
What work has been done on this bar
has certainly proven beneficial, and the
water has been increased thereby, and
some of our steamboat men believe that
the more the channel is used the better
it will become, and that the sand coming
from the ietty channel will be scattered
sufficiently by passing steamers to pre-
vent any permanent formation of a bar
of any other sand or mud deposit
