The conversation was plainly heard in
the court room, and his honor being ready
for business he ordered Biiah to bring the
woman out, The first look at her showed
that she was bad one to deal with, and
his honor forced Il smile and asked:

The Interior Department has been aptly
called the "Government Waste Basket"
This name, however, is only expressive of
the nature of the department as receptacle
for all miscellaneous business not coming
under the especial Jurisdiction of the other
departments. The name does not apply
to the business Of the department. which is
by no means the government waste or
trash The Interior Department has con-

branches of the government business, and
there are probably more individual citizens

Little Montgomery Girl.
Montgomery Advertiser.l
An Advertiser reporter yesterday saw
beautiful piece of jewelry, which has very
interesting hissory; 1t is not likely that there
is another such in America. 1t is present
from the emperor of Austria to little child
here In the city. In design 1t is four-leaf
clover In gold, with lovely diamond dew
drop In its center, Upon its back is this
inscription, engraved In the most tasty
manner; "From His Imperial Majesty, EN-
peror Francis Joseph /, to Charlotte PollalS,
1schel, 18th August, 1881
From Mr.. Ignatius Pollak, the little girls
father, the following account Of the impe-
rial gift is obtained Mrs. Pollak spent last
summer at the famous Alpine resort. lschel.
The Austrian emperor was there at the same
time. The 18th of August was little Char
lotte's sixth birthday. Her aunt, without
Mrs. Pollak's knowing 1t, remembering
that the 18th was also the emperor's birth
day, wrote note of congratulation from
the child as a little American girl on her
sixth birthday to the emperor on his flfty-
fourth, and signed it simply ''Charlotte.n
The note was accompanied by small
bunch of flowers. Nothing was heard of
the modest tribute of regard until eight
days afterwaTd, when the emperor's master
Of ceremonies called upon Mrs. Pollak, and
in the name Of his sovereign presented
the beautiful token already described.
He told the lady that when the
emperor came across the simple note

When the mint at New Orleans was turned
over by the state Of Louisiana the last of
February, 1861, to the confederate states
Of America" the old officers were retained
and confirmed by the government, viz; VIII
liam A. Elmore, superintendent; A. j. Gut
rot, treasurer; M. +. Bonzano, NJ. D., melter
and rehner, and Howard Millspaugh, as
sayer.
In the month of April orders were issued
by Mr.. Memminger, secretary of the con-
federate treasury, to the effect that designs
for half dollar coins should be submitted to
him for approval. Among several sent, the
one approved bore on the reverse of the
coin representation of the Goddess of Lib
erty, surrounded by thirteen stars, denoting
the thirteen states from whence the confed-
eracy sprung, and on the lower rim the fig
ures 1861. On the diverse there is shield
with seven stars, representing the seeding
states; above the shield is liberty cap, and
entwined around 1t stalks Of sugarcane and
cotton. The inscription is, Confederate
States Of America" The dies were en-
graved by A. H. NJ. Peterson, engraver and
die striker, who is now living. They were
prepared for the coining press by Conrad
Schmidt, foreman of the colning room, who
is also still living, from which four pieces
only were struck. About this period an or
der came from the secretary suspending
operations on account Of the difficulty Of
obtaining bullion, and the mint was closed
April 3O 1861.
OF the four pieces mentioned, one was
sent to the government, one presented TO
Prof. Riddle, Of the University OF Louisiana,
one to DIR. l.. Ames, of New Orleans, the
remaining one being retained by DR.. b. f,
Taylor, the coiner, who now resides In New
Orleans.
