Light Coins.

New York Times: The following no.
tice posted on the bulletin-board of the
Sub-Treasury.
"On and after Aug. 1, 1886, all gold
coin below legal weight will, under in
structions received from the secretary
of the Treasury, be stamped eight, :"
as the same is presented at the Sub
Treasury
The necessity for this new rule. as
explained at the Sub Treasury, is this:
There is a law which fixes the coin
''limit of tolerance''-the point to
which coins may be worn or abraded
and still be worth their face value-at
one-hah of per cent. This means
that when q gold dollar in the course
of its use loses one half cent of its value
in weight it ceases to be worth 81 as a
legal tender, and is worth only its
weight as gold merchandise. Until
about four years ago it was rule of
the officers at the New York Sub
Treasury to stamp all coins outside of
the limit of tolerance with a Letter
''L''signifying that they were of light
weight.
But depositors raised an outcry
against the mutilatiop of National
coins, and an order came from Wash
ington directing the Sub. Treasury here
to quit its stamping business. The re-
suit was that, though lightweight
coins were once rejected at the Sub
Treasury, they still keep coming in =
regular stream. The same abraled
coin would be offered over and over
again four or five times during one
week. Their was nothing to dis
tinguish their light weight, and often
they were detected only because the
clerks of the sub-rreasury, with their
delicate touch, the result of years of
practice, could detect the lightness #
weight. when to an ordinary business
man the coin would have nothing in
its appearance out of the ordinary.
Often it happened that in one bag Of
gold coins the abrasion on the pieces
will make q total Of @15 or more under
the fullweight value. though the loss to
each coin is scarcely perceptible.

Tanning Humming Birds.

A young lady. an invalid, residing at
San Rafael, one of the health resorts in
California, illustrated St. James asser-
ton that every kind of bird has been
tanned by tanning two free, wild hum
ming birds.
Her doctor ordered her to recline
daily, during the summer, on rugs
spread on the garden lawn. While
taking his agreeable prescription one
day, she noticed that two humming-
birds were inspecting her from safe
Their wise little heads, turned to one
side, showed their curiosity, and she,
taking advantage of it, planned for a
more intimate acquaintance. She
plucked fuchsia. attached it to a
branch over her head, and filed it with
sweetened water. In a few minutes
the two little birds thrust their slender
bills down into the flower and took
long draughts.
The next day she filled fresh fu-
CHA with honey. The actions of the
little birds showed that they preferred
it to sweetened water. In few days
the birds became 80 tame and so impa-
tient that they scarcely waited for her
to leave the flowers before thrusting
their bills into the honey.
One day, while she held the flower
she was filing with drops from a
spoon, the birds caught the drops as
they fell, and then, becoming impa-
tent, darted their their thread-like
tongues into the contents of the spoon.
The two birds were both males, and
therefore fought for possession Of the
honey filed flower. But they united to
keep other humming birds away and
when wasp or bee came near it was
chased away.
When the beginning of the rainy
season drove the young invalid into
the house she tried to coax them to the
parlor window. At first they acted as
if they thought there was some mis-
take. They would hum about the win.
dow where she stood with the flower
and the spoonful of honey, or watch he1
from q neighboring branch, but not q
sip would they take. But At last one
bird, responding to her call, lowered
about her hand, and took from it re.
peatedly drops of honey.

The Conversational Contest.

A communication signed Index Is
printed in another column The writer
does not take an altogether sanguine
view OF the democratic chances of success
in the Congressional election. While
disagreeing with him to the extent that
we do not think that with ordinary vigil
lance Pendleton, the boiler, has the
slim ghost of chance of SUCCESS
chance thick enough to cast shadow on
the prospect of the I'd of November-we
approve his warning of the possibility of
defeat, for over-confidence has often
proved more dangerous than the strength
of the enemy, which should never be un-
derrated His conclusion 6" that if Mon
roe gives Pendleton the same vote it gave
Locke, and Escambia gives him the same
vote it cast against Davidson in 1882" etc.,
is abrupt, inasnuch as political conditions
have changed and population increased.
We cannot believe that Pendleton will
have the strength in western counties that
McKinnon had, yet possibly such loss may
be in part compensated to him from other
sources. Therefore it is wise for the
voters of Leon county not to lose sight in
their zeal for proper legislative represen-
tatlon of the Importance of proper Con-
gressional representation, and to see that
as many Davidson votes as possible are
cast for that able and faithful Congress-
man, whose record is without stain, and
whose continuance in Office will enable
him to complete the work of securing the
requisite appropriations for his District
for which he has already secured far
larger proportion of amounts recon-
mended than are usually obtained under
the bills submitted.

The figures we use are taken from the tax
books for the years named, their accuracy cannot
be questioned, and they show at first glance q
saving of 80, 2O5.41 to the people of Levy county
But, taking more careful glance at these fig
ures, we discover that Levy county, for the last
three years of Radical rule with an assessed val
uation only about half as large as is the valuation
of property for State taxes during the past three
years of Democratic rule, paid nearly double
the amount in state taxes to support Republican
mis-rule and extravaganza that was collected
from her people. under good Democratic govern
ment for an equal period-three years.
However, to ascertain the actual saving in
State taxes to the people of Levy county, let US
take the aggregate assessed valuation for 1888,
1884 and 1885, under Democratic rule, and the
rate-12 mills-for State taxes in 1874, 1875 and
1876, under Radical rule. By this method we
find that the State tax for Levy county, instead
of being only $14,s563 SO, the amount collected
under Democratic rule, it would be the enormous
sum of 2,771.09 according to the Republican
rate for taxation, showing an actual saving in
State taxes, for three years, of 91471 for the
people of Levy county, or fraction more than
$4-19 for every inhabitant of the county en-
braced in the census for 1885.
