reforms along very many lines. For
instance, the delegation from Massa-
chusetts was composed Of consumers.
they spoke about the unjust trace
pOrtation rates that now separate the
producer and consumer. They wero
naturally much Interested in the ques-
ton OF transportation. The Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska delegation $
were also very much interested In
this theme, because the fact that they
are adversely affected by the present
tariffs that are imposed upon them.
They have both teen very close stu

GUS men OF Vicksburg before tho war,
one OF the most prominent was Mr..
McNutt Two qualities marked him
out as an individual type. The first
was his personal cowardico. STU

ting aside in his own favor those
preiudlces OF the public mind which
would have crushed any other man.
He was at one time candidate for
United States senator. Tho opposing
candidate was General Quitman. In q
speech, McNutt said; 'FellOw-citl-

CURIOUS COINS.
How One Reonme Rare on Account Of an
Emperor'S LOve-LOck.


NumismalistS or coin collectors
have interesting objects OF search in
two coins which belong to the trans
sition period between the French Re-
public and the Second Empire. One
OF these is an extremely rare coin
which was struck of just at the
moment OF the assumption Of the reins
OF Empire by Napoleon III. Only
the die for the diverse or head Of q
new Imperial coin had been completed,
and by some accident or possibly by
mischievous design, II coin was struck
oil which bore the head OF Napoleon
Ill, emperor on one side. and
"Frenea Republic on the other.
The contradictory coin Is OF interest
to others than numismatst for 1t
symbolizes in striking way the many
sudden changes which have taken
place in French politics In the past
century.
With the other coin singular story
is connected. While Louis Napoleon
was prince president " and just be-
fore he made himself emperor. q
decree was issued ordering Eve
franc silver piece to be coined bearing
his image.
The dies were made relates the
Youths Companion and one coin was
struck of us u sample AMI sent to the
prince-president for approval But
some time passed before no exam
ined 1t. When at last he gave it his
attention he was annoyed to find that
he had been represented on the coin
with q 'love.lock or hooked lock OK
hair on the temple, which no did ac-
tuully wear Mt that period, but which
he thought unsuitable to so dignihed
and permanent representation OF
himself ms an eIligy upon IL coin
The prince-presidont sent for the
director OF tho mint and ordered him
TO remove the 'love-lock." Then hO
found that his silence with regard TO
the piece had been taken for approval.
and that tho stamping OF the coins
had commenced.
The work was stopped and tho Inn
ago deprived OF its undignihed look.
but the twenty three coins that had
already been struck of were not de-
Slroyed, and are now regarded as oil
great value.

She ran up to her own room. put on her neat

arches, doOrways without rooms, spectral
corridors, cornices OF delicate tracery; and,
