No Nickels There.

"This talk about introducing copper
cents in San Francisco reminds me of
the attempts made to bring five-cent
pieces into circulation in Virginia
City" said Gen. Daniel O'Connor. GA
dime has always been the smallest coin
there, and the nickels that men
brought there had either to stay there
or be thrown away. No one IN Vir-
ginia City would compromise the dig
nifty of the place by accepting them.
Finally dry goods merchant returned
from the city with a lot of half-dimes.
He didn't want to lose them, so he adj
vertised q great 2O-cent sale. His
scheme was to give the nickels in
change for the quarters that would be
rendered for his bargains.
"Well, do you know, sir, that as
soon as the ladies got on to his scheme
they just boycotted his place, and
within two months he had to close his
shop. That stopped the nickel bust
ness. and to this day dime is the
smallest change you can get on the
Co mstock. If there is fifteen cents in
change coming to you, you lose five
cents, and if you complained the whole
town would jeer at you. "-Saaa frG7a-
cisco Examiner.

oysters on Trees.

Business recently called me to Hondu-
ras, and have Just now returned we'll
pleased with my trip. had often heard
Of oysters growing on the trunks and
branches Of trces-groves of living, green,
umbragcous trees, with oysters growing
upon t!lcm-and my friend and I set aside
tie day to investigate the fact.
Our dory cut The water like knife,
and slipped along rapidly and easily, with
hardly a ripple in her wake, and IL about
half an hour we had left the sight Of the
town, with its convent, and shipping,
and soldiers barracks, behind us. We
were then nearly abreast Of an island
called Moho Cave.
The front Of it is empowered in grace
full cocoanut trees, and the back part
trends of into swamp and is covered
with dense growth of the red mangrove-
THIS mangrovc tree grows in either fresh
or salt water swamps and even in water
three or four feet deep.
The limbs of the trees send shoots or
roots down into the water, and thus a
thiclct of mangrovcs is matted mass Of
trunks and limbs and roots. On these
trunks and limbs and roots, deep down
under the surface of the water, cling
bnnc,les Of single oysters, and thus are
formed the oyster groves l had heard Of.
The leaves of these trees are of a beauti-
full dark green, and the swamp islands,
from distance, look like fairy bowers.
We polcd our doly around to the south
of the island, but could not get very near,
as we were scraping bottom all the time.
We passed over numerous oyster beds,
and, while doing SO, and with an ordi-
nary rake which had been provided, we
hauled aboard lot Of the oysters.
They were small and fiat, and the shell
looked moro like fat clam than an oys-
ter. But the inside tasted all right, and
cur boatman swallowed that down with
a relish. I did not care much for them
myself, except rs curiosities for the mud
