RARE GOLD PIECES.
One Coin in Shamokin, Pa, Said to be
Worth 81 900 or More.

One Coin in Shamokin, Pa, Said to be
Worth 81, 900 or More.
Major Hamilton, of Shamokin, Pa.
is the possessor of a very rare coin,
and one that is worth at this time
$1,000. It was minted in California in
1852 just four years after the gold
fever of 1849. A mint was established
in San Francisco at that time, and four
of the coins were struck off and for
warded to Washington as proofs. The
Government did not approve them, and
there were no more made. Three of
them are now in the possession of the
United States Government, and the
fourth is in Shamokin. The Major Sc
cured it in very funny way. Almost
ten years ago he presented a check at
the Selinsgrove bank, and asked to
have it cashed in gold, if possible.
This coin was among the money given
him.
Mr.. II. L. Sipes, of McConnellsburg,
Pa, has two $50 gold pieces, one round
and the other octagonal. The round
one he received from Thorutown, Ind.
He saw an advertisement Offering it
for sale and finally purchased it from
the owner for $50. On the one side is
the head of Liberty" surrounded by
stars and the date 1885, On the
reverse side in circle near the edge
are the words: ''San Francisco, Cali
fornia Wass. Molitor & Co." The
octagonal coin looks as though it had
been cut out by a die. The one side is
nearly smooth except that it shows rays
radiating from the center. On the
other side is the American eagle sur
rounded by the words Omitted State:
of America" Both these coins are OF
dull yellow color. They were coined
by the United States mint for the par.
ties who brought the gold to the mint,
but were not intended for general cir.
culation. They contain no alloy, but
are pure, Philadelphia Record.

post are said to be fled In Doctors
Commons. Perhaps the whimsical will
of a Scotch gentleman, who, having
two daughters, bequeathed to each her
weight, not in gold, but in FL notes,
has been frequently quoted. At any
rate, the elder of the two was con-
siderably lighter than her sister, for
she only got G51, 900, while the younger
received EST, ,544. The three or four
instances of wills in poetical form have
also been quoted, and do not require
reproduction here. But, in conclu-
sion, we may give the following curious
clause in the testament of a New York
gentleman: ''I own seventy-one pair of
trousers, and l strictly enjoin my ex-
ecutors to hold public sale, at which
these shall be sold to the highest bid
der, and the proceeds distributed to
the poor of the city. further desire
that these garments shall in no way be
examined or meddled with, but be dis
posed as they are found at the time of
my death; and no one purchaser to buy
more than one pair" The sale was
actually held, and the seyenty-one pur-
chasers each found in one of the
pockets bank notes representing 81 900.

AN UNMITIeATED EVIL.
The Borrowing Habit and the Slavery to
Which 1t Leads.

A1O DUEEO"luS anu IhS SIAV6Ey TO
Which 1t Leads.
The habit of borrowing has doubt
less prevailed in all ages, and with
equal probability has always been re-
garded as reprehensible. There are
many times when a little neighborly
help, in case of sudden sickness or some
such emergency, is a temporary neces-
sity as well as a kindness, but persist
ency in borrowing should be dis
cOuraged. Itdestrovs that method and
form which the economical and orderly
housewife esteems almost equally with
her worldly prosperity, and it is habit
which can be rectified by any one un-
fortunately addicted to it who has the
slightest strength of purpose. The evil
of the borrowing habit has been delin-
Gated by our most ancient and our
greatest sages and poets. A writer
dating back to the almost Homeric
period has said: eff thou hast of thy
own, borrow not, since thou last no
need; if thou hast nothing, borrow not,
as thou canst not be sure to repay;n
while that shrewdest of counselors,
Polonius, is represented by Shakes
peare as urging upon his son Laertes
these sentiments:
Neither borrower nor lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
The habit of borrowing small house
hold things is a pestilent evil, by which
thrifty housewives are often COM
pelaed to carry an unthrifty neighbor's
load, or by refusal to initiate dissen-
sions and dislikes. 1t is an old story,
that of the unthr fifty housewife who
gauged her new neighbors as a poor
lot because they did not have pot or
kettle or 1atiron, or even drawing of
tea, to lend, but it was evidence of
thrift and a spirit of order, which no
doubt soon earned the respect of all
the other neighbors.
The great evil of the borrowing
habit, however, lies in the slavery of
debt to which it leads. 1t is the as
sumption of burden in moment OF
weakness which in time becomes al
most too heavy to bear, and the effort
to cast it off may lead to that con-
dition of mind that now produces
defalcations and frauds.-N. Y. Trib-
une.

AMONG The t4AYTlANs.
What a Traveller Saw in the Interior OF
the Negro Rannhlic.

What Traveller Saw in the Interior OF
the Negro Republic.
The natives houses are all so much
alike that description of one will
answer for them all. The walls are a
basket work of twigs plastered over
with mud, occasionally washed with
solution of lime. The roof is thick
patch of palm leaves. The floor is of
dried clay. Two rooms are usually
found, and in them black pickaninnies
and dusky pigs disport, sleep and eat
in a common wealth OF familiarity.
There are a number of river crossings
with good footing for the animal on
which you ride. At length, after rid
ing in the fierce sun for thirty-five
miles, the foot of the mountainous spine
which extends the entire length Of the
peninsula of Southern Hayti is reached.
The ascent is very steep in places, but
the sure footed beasts are accustomed to
mountainous work. and they plod along
without stumbling. The path is so
narrow that you brush the dew and
wet from the bushes on either side.
There are no houses Of entertaintment,
but there is not a negro hut in which
you are not welcome. Food there is
none-not even a yam or an avocado
can be obtained. The people are al
ways polite. Nowhere have met with
a single act OF discourtesy on the part
of the lower class black men and
women in Hayti. They will ask you
inside, and you are at liberty to spread
your rubber air bed on the floor among
the pigs and pickaninnies. Nearly
every male resident on the Port al
Prince and Jacmel road possesses more
than one wife. The first wife is usually

A Delightful Dress Fabric.

The new royale armure silk is de-
lightful substance, soft, yet firm, with
scarcely any ''rustle" in it, and in this
material a whole rush of new colors
have appeared, which are really name
less. For example, one lovely pattern
made up in Grecian gown, might be
called blush-pink, or cameo. or flesh
color, but it is neither When worn,
it renders the complexion of the wearer
very clear and white, if she is at all
fair. The color of this dress is further
complicated by its being vailed with
tulle covered with gold embroidery.
When this tulle lies fat it is. exactly
the color of the silk, but when it falls
together in delicious folds it becomes
a wholly different shade, which might
be called a deep rose du Barri. Dawn"
and champagne de vim" are two most
beautiful evening tints in armure
royale, but the title gives but faint idea
of the artistic beauty of the simmer
ing silvery or golden lights that change
to faintest rose with every new posi-.
tion of the regal fabric il the sunlight
or under the gaslight. These two tintI
lose none OF their1wonderful CLEANS o.
color in the evening; on the contrary
they gain additional lustre and beauty.
