 1 was riding out the other day with a friend in an open carriage. Both of us were strangers in the city, and were going about the town driving our selves rather than go poking along in one of the numerous but dirty cabs r The horses were passing leisurely fialoag. one of the main streets. and we Wete gazing at the girls as they passed us. Suddenly there appeared before us a man in uniform. He stood in the f inrittdleFof the street and blew "dog- slif ifhiStle,;" which first attracted our at- .,teption. Then he drew from under his. arm a red flag and frantically waved it in the air. My friend pulled in his horses, and they came to halt We then noticed car-trucks on the streets running at right angles to the one we were on, and we thought at once that we had come to a railroad crossing, and that the authorities were most con- siderate in warning people of their danger; though we also thought it rather strange for railroad train to run at grade through the center of the city.
 We waited at least one minute and heard no whistle or indication of the approaching of a train, and would have moved on but for the official and his red flag. There we stood, waiting with anxiety for the train 10 dash past us, not knowing how the strange horses would take to an engine at full speed with a train of cars behind it. Finally, when we had about lost all patience and wondered why the man did not let us go on, we heard some thing coming, and then the jingle of bells, and at last little one-horse street car logged around the corner across the street and went it's way up the thoroughfare!

AMERICAN COINS.
Some of Those Issued by the Colonial and
 United States Mints.

The first strictly American coins were those issued by the colonial mint of Massachusetts, in 1852 generally known as the Pine Tree series, though there were four varieties There is a coin of earlier date, called the ''Somers Island piece" but this was probably struck in England. Of the PineATree series, the first issue, and the rarest, was a plain hammered silver coin, and the value, XII, or VI, made by a punch. These were followed by. others, bearing representations of pine. oak and willow trees. with "Massa- chusetts" and New England' as in- scriptions. II and III penny pieces were added, and large number were struck. the Pine-Tr variety being the most common. A popular story concerning these coins says that the mint-master was allowed one in a set number as his perquisite, and that his wealth from this source was so great that when his daughter came to marry he gave her dowry of them, making her sit in one scale while they were piled in the other, until their weight lifted her from the ground. She was, therefore, literally worth her weight in silver''
 The first gold coins were struck in 1795. and were the eagle and half eagle. The quarter-eagle, quarter dollar and dime appeared in 1796; the double-eagle and gold dollar in 1S49; the silver Scent piece in 1854; the gold S piece in 1854; the nickel cent in 1856; the small bronze cent and 2-ceht piece in 1864; the nickel Scent in 1865; inc nickel 5-cent in 1866; the trade dollar in 1873, and 20-cent piece in 1875. There have been many other assays, or patterns, for cons. but these constitute the regular coinage of the country.
 In 1776 appeared lead token, with a sun-dial obverse and thirteen linked rings for reverse. This was inscribed Continental Currency" and is the type of the first regular United States coin, commonly known as the 'Mind- business" cent, so called from this sentence forming one of the legends. It has also been named the Franklin and the Fugio; the first be- cause the sentence quoted seemed to have a Poor Richard flavor, and the last from another legend: ''Fugio, " Ht- and were struck in 17S7.
 In 1722, 1723 and .1724 the English colonies were given the Wood half penny and the Rosa Americana series, the latter consisting of pen= ny. half-penny, and farthing. These were struck in Engl aud by William Wood, and were originally intended for circulation in Ireland. Repudiated by that portion of the British empire, principally through the efforts of Dean Swift, they were sent to America.
 During the time intervening be- tween the revolution and the estab- lishment of Q Government mint sev. eral States established hints and struck coins. The coins of Massachu- setts were a cent and half- cent with an Indian standing for an obverse and an eagle for reverse Connecticut coined cents only, with several varieties of busts for the ob- verse and a seated figure of Liberty for the reverse. - Chicago NeUS.

The Chatauquan for April says: ''The success
OF the present movement in favor of higher educa-
ton for women in New York city is Of grayer i'm
portance because it is in New York. A large part
OF the country takes its cue from that CITY, Higher
education for women made possible and popular
there, would have great weight in leading to SINH
lar movements in other cities. The latest plan is
for an annex to Columbia college. This is better
than nothing but why should not Columbia college
admit women freely as DR.. Barnard, its president,
would have her do. Or if not, is not New York
able to establish her own Wellesley or Bryn Mawr?

NAE SCOTCHMEN IN HEAVEN!

Englishmen are fond of joking Scotchmen about
thelrlntense pride of country. A Scotchman, how
ever does not mind the joking, and keeps on loving
Scotland, and Boosting of her grandeur, just as if
there was not an Englishman in the world The
following funny story appeared recently in an En-
ghsh journal, and was laughed at on both sides of
the Tweed:
Long ago dreadful war was waged between the
King of Cornwall and the King of Scotland, in
which the latter prevailed
The Scottish King, highly eated by his success,
sent for bis Prime Minister Lord Alexander.
"Wee,' Sandy" said he, 'is there neer a king
we Gamma conquer the noo"' now.
can it please Yer Majesty, ken but O. ane king
that Yer Majesty Gamma conquer"
"And wham is he, Sandy?
''The King of Heeven."
''The King of whaur Sandy?"
'The King of Heeven"
The Scotch King did not understand, but was
unwilling to show any ignorance.
Just gang yer ways, Sandy, and tell the King
of Heeven to give up his dominions, or I'll come
myself and ding him O. them, and mond, Sandy, we
do not come back till us until we have done our
bddin''
Lord Alexander retired much perplexed but met
priest, the sight of whom put thought into his
head which treasured him, and he returned and
presented himself before the throne
"Wel, Sandy said the King, "have we seen the
King of Heeven, and what says he to our bddin ??
can please Yer Majesty, haze no see the King
himself but ha e seen one of his accredited meen-
isters'
"Wee, and what says he?"
''He says Yer Majesty may cen ha' his kingdom
for the asking O. it,
'Was he sac ceevil?" said the, King, warmed to
magnanimty. ''Just gang your ways back,
Sandy, and tell the Kingo' Heeven that for his
cvilty, nae Scotchman shall ever set foot in his
kingdom"

A REFORMATORY.

Much has been said of late about reformatory
school for the state of Arkansas. The word ere
formatory' is a misnomer, the term used should
be industrial for the true aim of such inst
tuition should be to give to its inmates such man
ual and mental training as will enable them to
transact the duties of an ordinary business life.
1t should be place where head, heart and hands,
or the mental moral and physical nature is cult
waited, evil habits corrected by means of good de-
cipline and all latent germs of goodness developed.
@The work of establishing such schoolwould be
comparatively easy, but that of conductingit prop
erly would be herculean The first and greatest
drawback would arise from the fact that the pupils
had not only contracted evil habits, but that to
certain degree they had become confirmed in them
to such an extent that they had become amenabe
to the law before they could be placed by it's strong
right arm under wholesome, corrective restraint or
discipline. The second obstacle encountered would
be the unwilingness the part of parents to have
their children dealt with by the law, and to avoid
this they would in many instances practice decep-
ton to prevent justice being melted out, or If un-
der restraint they would be anxious to secure the
release of the child before the corrective influences
of such an institution had accomplished its pur-
pose. There could be still another standpoint
from which to view this all important sub
ject. Many of the pupils would inherit the traits
that had made them fit subjects for correction ;
not perhaps to the extent that they had shown
them, but "as small leak will sink great ship"
so will evil tendencies left unchecked ruin whole
character
Probably large percentage of the pupils would
be drawn from that class of children that early in
life acquire bad habits of truancy or vagrancy; in
fact such has been the experience of schools of
this class. There is however no pursuit in life, no
branch of business that can be found entirely free
from drawbacks and so in this respect, whilst
there would be much to overcome, much could be
accomplished. Prevention is always better than
cure, and no doubt many who would otherwise be-
come outcast a curse to the community and soci-
ETY. in general might, if placed within the shelter
ing walls of such home, trained by its
fostering care in habits of industry, develop into
good respectable citizens.
Let us then advocate the reformatory, for with
rapidly growing city and state the demand for
such school will increase, and Arkansas must be
found wide awake on all subjects which are likely
to affect her future.

ladies of the Seventh-street NJ. E. Church. The
tasteful costumes, worn a la Orient. were q
very interesting feature of the evening. They
would have been credi.able to q per-
formsnce Of the Mikado. One young
lady in particular, with her strange figured
dress. flowing sash and sleeves, her dark hair
and complexion might have slmost been taken
for q veritable Jap" The ladies served tea
and CONNECTIONS in the regular Japanese
manner, and the choir rendered some
musical selections IN the Eastern way, accom-
panied by bells and striking sticks. a feature
of the evening worthy of note was o brief talk
companied by stereopiicor views. Mr. Bonnsll
