The Queens Cake.
COMPILED BY JESSIE DAY.

Que of the most wonderful things at
the Queens Jubilee was the mammoth
cake made by Messrs. Gunter, in
Berkely Square, the same firm, it is
said, who supplied the cake at the cor
onation. fifty years ago. The Jubilee
cake is 8 feet 6 inches in circumfer-
ence, 10 feet high, and weighs, with
out the decorations, over quarter of a
ton. The design represents the crown
guarded by lions, surrounded by a
temple bearing figures of Fame and
Glory, with trumpets in their hands,
heralding the Jubilee to the four quar-
ters of the world. These again are
surmounted by temples crowned by a
winged figure of Peace bearing the
crown of Empire; the panels of the
base, embroidered in Gold on white
satin, and each of which is worth
three guineas, bear the royal mono
gram, and between them are figures in
relief representing the four qnarters of
the world. Medallions between the IL
ons are correct portraits in relief of her
Majesty and his Royal Highness the
Prince Consort at the time of the royal
marriage, 1S40; of the Majesty in the
year 1867 (taken for Canada; of her
Majesty at the present time as Queen
and Empress of India. The other me-
dallions bear the names of the princi-
pal portions of the empire. The bor-
der round the top of the actual cake,
which is particularly we'll executed,
represents garland of rose, sham
rock, and thistle:
The making of the entire cake has
kept two specialists busy for the last
four months.
A special stand has been built for
this giant cake, and, standing on a
splendid cloth of crimson plush, it is
certainly a monument and q triumph
of the confectioner's art. A slice of
cake, which is shown under a glass
cover, gives some idea of the size of
the actual cake, which is almost lost
under the decorations, which are exc
cuted after the design of one of the
heads of the firm with truly artistic
taste.

The Dollar.

Our word dollar dates back to 17S5,
when resolution was passed by Con-
gress which provided that it should be
the unit of the money of the United
States. Another resolution was pass
ed in 1855, August 3, providing that it
should weigh 375.64 grains of pure sill.
yer. The mint was established in
1892, and was then required to coin sill
yer dollars containing 37l.25 grains OF
pure silver. This was due to the inf1u.
ence of Alexander Hamilton. No
dollars were coined until 1874, and
then irregular. They are worth now
500 each. In 1874 the coinage of reg.
ular dollars began. Our coin was an
adaptation of the Spanish milled dol.
lar, coin very popular wherever the
Spaniards travelled. The coin was
called "piastre," meaning a fiat piece
of metal; it is synonymous with pias-
ter. 1t is supposed that the Spanlards
took the German "thaler," and called
it by the name of "piastre." The
word dollar is the English for lhaler,
the first of which was coined about
1856, and corresponds quite closely to
our present American silver dollars.
The word thaler means looming from
dale or valley" the first dollars hav-
ing been coined in a Bohemian valley
called .Foachimsthal. It was under
Charles V, the Emperor of Germany,
King of Spain, and Lord Of Spanish
America, that the German thaler be-
came the coin of the world.

Woman Coming to Honor.

At the trial of minister before an
ecclesiastical court in Broaklyn, one of
the parties resented the application of
the term woman" to one of the wit
nesses as in some sense disrespectful
He was promptly met by citations
from the Bible, showing that it was
there used as u perfecly inoffensive
name. But it was not necessary to 60
nearly as far back as that for a defense of
the term. The truth is, that the word
"lady," except when distinctly used as
a term Of classification-that is to dis
tinguish particular woman-has now
become in the best circles, both in this
country and England, an appellation
with little burlesque in it, owing to
its general adoption by women in
humble positions in life. The cooks,
laundresses, scrubbing women, espe-
cially among the colored people, have
all adopted it rs q generic term describ-
ing person of the female sex, without
reference to her manners or position.
In other words, they Use it instead of
"woman," and consequently, to those
who remember its original significa-
ton, it is little ludicrous, because it
is used most invariably TO connote re-
linemcnt of person and manners.
"Woman" has, therefore, come once
more into vogue as the ordinary de-
| signation of the women who used to
be called 'ladies,n without, however,
driving "lady" out of use as Il term of
classification. In this the English
speaking usage has simply been assim-
Hated to that Of the French, who have
always kept femme" as perfectly re-
spectful term. In fact, great particu-
larity in speaking Of every man and
woman of ones acquaintance as Il
gentleman" and a "lady," has now
become almost Il mark of rusticity
and, in grave cases, of which is called
"caGdiShncss."

A Memorial Tablet.

Greeting the eyes of those who attended d.
vine service in the Methodist church of this
town on last Sunday, was the handsome
memorial tablet to the memory Of the Rev.
James Moore and his wife Ann Moore. Upon
the tablet are these words: "In loving men,
ory of James and Ann Moore the first mem
bers of this church." About the year 1926,
under the preaching of the Rev. James
Travis, James Moore and his wife Ann Moore
were converted and joined the Methodist
church, and of them 1t may bo said, that un-
der the leadership of Mr.. Travis, they were
the founders of Methodism in Abbeville vii.
lage.
How fitting thing it is, therefore, that
some memorial, perpetuating their worth and
worthy, that those who have entered into
their labors, should thus acknowledge
their Indebtedness to these servants of GOD,
through whose labor tho first Methodist
church was built. and whose exemplary life
and unceasing toll contributed so largely to
the success and power of early Methodism.

The Cannon Ball Train Off the Track
Again.

Yesterday at noon, as the Cannon Ball Train
reached point about mile-and.a half from
the village, the passengers noticed that the
coach had come to dead halt, when Captain
Williams, the conductor, thought 1t worth
while to 60 out and see why the train had
stopped without his orders. He discovered
that two freight cars and the baggage Cal
were off the track, and the road considerably
torn up. The passengers walked to town, and
the postmaster employed Messrs. A. NJ. Hill
& Sons to bring the mail to town.
The Press and Banner has no disposition tc
complain about the frequent delays OF the
cannon ball train, but we would suggest If II
is all the same to the authorities that they
arrange for the usual delays to be on another
day than Tuesdays.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. 20.-There is an
effort being made to obviate the necessity
of Kilrain going personally to Mississippi to
give bail for his appearance at the next
term of court. Owing to the present session

Kilrain viii be forced to accompany De-
tective Chids south on Thursday.

said that it was not Sullivan and
Kilrain they were after, but they had to get
the fighters to fight the railroad company
If the arrangements to save Kiraln the
journey south fail, the fighter will appear
