Colored Men and Liquor.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Oct. 25.-Atthe meet
ing OF the American Missionary Society
last night Rev. j. R. Mclean, colored, of
Paris, Tex, said: I'VE do not drink as much
as the whites because We could not pay for
it, and we do not inherit, as do they. an
appetite for it. 1 think that one of the
chief reasons for our race voting against
prohibition is'that they consider the lib
erty to drink an attribute to freedom. An
other reason is that it seems to promote
social equality, dissolute whites often con-
descending to drink with negroes. Then
again. many colored preachers and church
members think liquor favors the flow of
religious feeling"

The conrederacr,s Half Dollars.

Over on Eighth avenue the other night
the Observer stood in a crowd of green
looking people who were listening to a
lightning Tipped a~uctioneer dilating on
the value of some curious coins he offered
for sale. One of those he held up 10 the
admiration of the assembled numlsmat-
lists was said TO be a silver half dollar
coined by the Southern Confederacy.
One of the learned looking old boys in
the crowd disputed its authenticity, and
a controversy arose which soon drowned
the voice of the auctioneer and turned
the place into a veritable debating club.
Some Of the facts brought out 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 80, 1861, the at
tempt TO coin silver money was given up
and the mint was closed. Thus the only
coin ever made by the C~onfederacy were
these four half dollars, and the connois-
ecu 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 OF
one of the pieces. Had it been one of
the originals it would have Jeen worth a
