The Confederacy's Ealf Dollars.

Over on Eighth avenue the other night
tho Observer stood in crowd of green
looking people who were listening to a
lightning Tipped auctioneer dilating ON
the value of some curious coins he offered
for sale. One of those he held up to the
admiration of the assembled numismat-
lists was said to be silver half dollar
coined by the Southern Confederacy.
One of the learned looking old boys in
the crowd disputed it's authenticity, and
a controversy arose which soon drowned
the voice Of the auctioneer and turned
the place into veritable debating club.
Some of the facts brought oat in the dis
cussion are well worth preserving.
1t has been generally understood that
the Confederate treasury never coined
any silver money, but the truth is that
there were four silver half dollars coined
in the month of April, 1861, as sample
pieces, but the difficulty of obtaining
bullion for the mint was very promptly
realized, and on April so, 1861, the at
tempt to coin silver money was given up
and the mint was closed. Thus the only
coin ever made by the Confederacy were
these four half dollars. and the connois-
seurs in such things have been hunting
for the pieces ever. since. Two of them
are known to be in New Orleans in posses
sion of Professor Biddle, of the Louisiana
university, buS the others have never
been traced. The one offered by the
Eighth avenue auctioneer was a copy oi
one of the pieces. Had it been one OF
the originals it would have been worth a
couple of thousand dollars.-New York

The belief in fairies and brownies, or
the more playful and fanciful kind of
fairy, seems to belong more to the Low
lands of Scotland than the Highlands.
The character Of the people was softer,
and the lighter forms of sliperstitious be-
lief found more fitting homo there than
in the Highlands, where the gloomy and
austere character of the people led them
to invest the supernatural inhabitants of
their glens and mountains with some-
thing moro akin to their own darker and
sterner natures.
Thus the fairies and brownies of tho
Lowlands take in the north the form Of
warnings. that come in gruesoms guise
to foretell misfortune and calamity to
the family to whom they belong, and TO
whom they appear when danger or mis-
fortune threatens their patrons. Every
great and powerful family in tho north
was believed to have a supernatural
warning or omen which appeared before
the death Of any prominent member. 1t
varied in most cases, but each family OF
a clan generally received the same warn
ing before death as the chief. Very
striking condolences no doubt have oc-
Cured, quite important enough to con-
vince q highly superstitious people OF
their infallibility. ~ Murray's Magazine.

acled and crouehing at the end of one Of
the cages was convict about 35 years
of age. There was nothing particularly
villainous in the mans face, though it
was by no means well favored by nature.
What struck me especially was his pallid
look and apparently general bodily Ian
guor. Seven years ago this man had
committed murder and was sent TO Sibe-
ria for life, the first five years hard labor
to be worked in the mines. After the
expiration of his mine labor he managed
to escape, and was only rearrested after
committing second murder.
He is now sentenced to mine labor In
Saghalien for life, to receive las blows Of
the knout on arrival on tie island. and
thereafter to be chained to his barrow or
hand wagon for the first twelve months
of his sentence. In these cases there is
no Enchanting; the chains are welded on
the convict's limbs. "How long do YOU
imagine this poor wretch will exist under
the conditions of his FIRST years punish

some years of official service in Saghalien.

ishment were not an unqualified mercy
to such criminals, and their number is
terribly large in Russia. The convict's
horror and dread of having to live out
these sentences is shown by the desperate
attempts at self destruction he is ever
ready to make. The scene on board these
departing ships is altogether saddening

As Old as the Exos,us,

A most interesting experiment culmi-
mated the other day in the raising of some
wheat grown from seeds as old as' the
Exodus. The experimenter is David
Drew, who last year received from o
friend IN Alexandria, Egypt, some grains
of wheat taken from mummy exhumed
near tie ruins of Memphis, and belong
ing, it is believed. to the period of the
Ninth Dynasty, which would make it
grown about 5000 B. c., or be nearly
5000 years old. He planted the seed
early in the spring, and carefully nursed
it. It grew rapidly, and at the tune Of
cutting measured from six and half to
seven feet high. Tho leaves alternate on
the stalk like common wheat, but the
product Of the plant is the most singular
part of it, for. instead of growing In the
ear like modern corn, there Is d heavy
cluster Of small twi.s in place of the
spindle which hangs downward from its
weight, and each twig is thickly studded
with kernels, each of which is in o sepa-
rate husk. From what Is threshed q
larger crop will be grown next year, as
tho result proves this ground to exceed
in quality anything that the modern
grain can grow.-Plymouth (Afass.) Cor,
