Queer Articles Which Take the Place of
Gold and Silver.
At meeting of the Academy of Sci
ences of San Francisco, a number of
years since, Mr.. Stearns presented a
paper upon the money of uncivilized
man, in which he remarked that the
durability and ease OF manipulation Of
shells have long caused them to be en-
ployed in domestic intercourse and
trade; and, among these, he first
enumerated the common clam of the
eastern coast of the United States, the
purple portion of which constituted the
wampum, or one class of their money,
while another was made from the axes
of a species of Pyrula. In each shell
about half an inch in diameter OF the
inside is OF this. purple color, and this
was converted into beads, which they
called Suckanhock, or black money,
and had twice the value of their white
money or wampum proper, which was
made of the Metauhock or Pyrula. This
was used not only among the Indians,
but among the whites; and it is re-
marked that the solid cash with which
the salaries of ministers were formally
paid included black and white wam-
pun. The money of the west-coast
Indians is a species Of tusk-shen, or
Dentalium, resembling hollow ele-
phant's tusk, the worth depending
upon the length of the shell These
are strung on corns and worked up in
various forms of beaded and other
ornaments, having a distinct value
among the Indians, according to the
size of the shell and their number,
quite as fixed as that of the specie OF
the paper money Of the United States
The use of the money coWry in Africa
is well known, many tons Of the shells
being annually imported to Great Brit
ain, and again exported for bartel
with the native tribes. Christian a
