II. Other Sid. Of tn. Gold.

I, Tor one, have always innoeently sup
posed that gold table utensils were what
they pretended to be, all gold; but lately
an expert aud 4 dealer in old silver has
informed me 70 the contrary. Even Vic
toria's royal gold plato = no better than
it should b. For such . thing - ''solid
gold" 10 totally unknown. Il must say
this knowledge 10 . vast relief to me.
Burglars may labor under . ike delusion,
and fancy any piece Of gold plate IS better
worth burgling than the best silverware
in the market. But we have all made Q
mistake. The finest gold service in ex-
istence IS but silver, washed with that
precious metal. 1t seems no less a person
than Mr.. james Keene, when he returned
from England with the famous Ascot cur,
won by his horse Foxhall, also believed in
the solid business, for the trophy was
valued a: $1,000 by tho custom house off,
Gals. Mr.. Keene paid the duties on those
figures and his cup wal deposited In a
place Of safety. Shortly after came the
financial crash in Mr.. Keene's fortunes,
and he found it necessary to raise money
on the Ascot cup. The first ieweler and
expert in New York vas dispatched to the
bank to examine, or rather to assay, its
intrinsic value. He found, to his own en-.
tire satisfaction, that the 1000 guinea cur
was worth precisely $500. including
metals and the price Of artistic workman.
