The Derivation OF Dollar.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Few persons have ever troubled
themselves to think Of the derivation
Of the word dollar. 1t is from the Ger
man thai l:alley), aud came into Use
in this way some 900 years ago. There
is a little silver mining city or district
in Northern Bohemia called Joachim
sthal or Jcachim's Valley. The reign
ing Duke Of the region authorized this
city in the sixteenth century 10 coin a
silver piece which was called 'joachims-
thaler." The word Joachim" was
soon dropped and the name "thaler"
only retained. The piece went into
general use in Germany and also in
Denmark, where the orth"graphy wa
changed to "daler,' whence it came
into English, and was adopted by our
forefathers with some changes in the
spelling.
