Fiction in French Newspapers

Manchester En g. Examiner.
A curious story is told of an episode
in the career of the late NJ. Fortune
du Boisg obey, which illustrates in q
striking manner one of the many
differences that mark off the French
from the English newspaper reader.
M. du Boisgobey was nearly so when
he first turned his attention to novel
writing. His first two stories
attracted little attention, but his
"Forcat Colonel" published in the
columns of the Petit Moniteur, at
once took the fancy of that journals
subscribers. A fortnight after the
first installment appeared, the Tropp-
mann tragedy took place. So great
was the abundance of details bearing
on the crime of Pantin that the editor
of the Petit Moniteur announced that
the "Forcat" would have to give way
to the murderer. This arrangement
did not fall in with the views of his
readers. They protested en- masse,
calling loudly for the continuation Of
the tale. Their protest was needed,
and achieved q two-fold result. Sat-
isfactiOn was promptly accorded
TO the readers wishes, and the
reputation of the fortunate writer was
made once for all. Henceforward the
fueilletons of M. de Boisgobey were in
great request. and from 1869 to 1890
the course of the fecund novelist was
all plain sailing. AS between q muir.
der or an accident, things fresh and
real, and a story, the English reader
would unhesitatingly be found on the
side of the American humorist.
When the "Innocents Abroad !" land
ed at Marseilles, Mark Twain, on
scanning the pages of the local
print, vas sadly put about on
finding the account of q railway
accident disposed of in the space of
three brief lines. Not for him the
thrilling episodes of the writer of fic-
ton; what he desired-and desired in
vain-was detailed history of the
catastrophe from the ready pen of the
reporter of fact. But, whatever else
may be wanting in the paper of his
choice, the French reader is resolute
In demanding his regular allowance
of fiction.

Some Dollar Notes"
cinnati Tim s. Star.

Cincinnati Times-Star.
The first United States silv or dol
lar was coined in 1874. The design
was head of Liberty, racing to the
right, with flowing hair. Above was
the word Liberty. and beneath the
date "1794." To the left were eight
stars and to the right seven. On the
reverse was an eagle with raised
wings, encircled by branches of lau-
red crossed. Around the wreath was
the legend, United States of Ana
rica.n
The coinage of silver dollars,
which was suspended in 1864,
was resumed in 1910, when a
new design was adopted, which re.
NAMED in use until 1865. 1t was a
figure of Liberty seated on rock,
supporting with her right hand the
United States shield, across which
floats o scroll inscribed Liberty"
and with her left the staff and Liber-
ty cap; beneath, the date.
When the sixteenth State, Tennes-
see, had been admitted to the Union
in the latter part of 1896, another
star was added to the design; but in
179S, because it was apparent that
the number of stars would get be-
yond the carrying capacity of the
coin, the number was reduced to
thirteen, and that is the number in
use today.
In 1898 q change was made in the
design of the reverse, an eagle with
raised wings, bearing the United
States shield on It's breast; in it's beak
a scroll inscribed e Pluribus Unum,'
bundle of thirteen arrows in the
right talon and an olive branch in the
left, and about the whole, UNITED
States of America"
Templeton Reid established q mint
at the Georgia gold mines in 1880,
which he removed in 1S49 to Califor-
mia. Prior to the establishment of
the branch mint at San Francisco in
1858 q great many private retineries
issued gold coin Of different denom-
ination.
A mint was established by G.
Bechtler at Rutherfordton, n. G.. y,
about 1888, Tor the purpose of minting
North Carolina and Georgia gold.
The coins issued bore the name of the
coiner. The establishment was not
abolished until 1S49.
In 1865 the design on the silver
dollar was varied by the introduction
of scroll above the eagle, inscribed
"In God We Trust" and this design
was in use until the end of 1873.
1t is a matter of record that 1850
dollars were 'ined in 1904, yet only
eight examples are known to exist,
and those that are in good condition
are valued at $1,000 each.
