more than three score years has nobly
breasted the storm of life; who has served
ais country faithfully and well, and of
whom she is justly proud. His career
as citizen, soldier, attorney, legislator,
judge-is a part of the history of our
State; his sterling integrity and many
private virtues are the consoling heritage
of his family and friends. In testimony
of our respect for his memory we, the
students of this law school, of which he
was an honored alumnus, have

steamers, the Ajax and the Runeberg,

ital of Finland, on Monday last The
Ajax was loaded with people from Hell
singfors who were out for Sunday sail.
The Runeberg was in the coast
ing business. The Ajax had start
ed out on Sunday and been de-
layed on the return by heavy
fog. The captain concluded to proceed
slowly into port and was not at high
speed when the collision occurred The
Runeberg, owing to the fog, had no no
tice of the approach of the Ajax and was
going at ordinary speed. The Rune
berg struck the Ajax near the centre
shattering that steamer so that the water
! flowed IN in torrent. The passengers
of the Ajax were nearly all Swedish

in the awful situation. The men pushed

The True Value of the Cent.


LEWISTON, n c., August 8, 1892 -
In your issue of the 5th inst. w. G,
Drake makes inquiry as to the value of
the quantity of copper contained in 100
one ceLJ pieces. II he will examine the
coinage acts of 1892 he will find that
the first coins issued from the United
States mint was copper cent and half
cent. Each cent contained 260 grains
of pure copper, and one hundred of them
made dollar, and contained 26, 900
grains of copper and were full legal
tender the same as the gold and silver
coins which were issued later The act
of February 21st, 1857, changed this by
providing for one cent coin composed
of So parts copper and II parts nickel,
to take the place of the pure copper coins.
These were also made a legal tender,
though they differed widely in weight and
posed. The law of 22nd April, 1864,
provided for the coinage of an entirely
new one and two cent piece, the cent to
weight 4S grains and to be composed of
95 parts copper and 5 parts tin and
zinc, one hundred of these contain 4,S0O
grains, while those coined under the law
of 1892 contained 26,000. But the law
made them of equal value. The COM
mercial value of pound of the metal
of which the present one and two cent
pieces are composed, is worth at this
time about twenty cents, which can be
coined into one hundred and sixty one
cent pieces, worth one dollar and sixty
cents. The coinage act of March 3,
1865, provided for the coinage of three
cent piece, and an act of May 16, 1866,
provided for the coming of five cent
piece. Both of these coins are
composed of IS parts copper
and 26 parts nickel, and one
pound of it will coin into 100 five cen
pieces worth five dollars. Yet its com
mercial value is at this time about sevent,
= cents per pound. So that in every 1O'
of these coins Give cent pieces) there i
20 cents commodity and four dollars ant
= thirty cents money. Now, if as you sa
4 in reply to Mr.. Drake, 1T is bad ethic
l for the government to attempt to max
t IS cents worth of silver 100 cents,
a (Which proposition is as you know, fror
the late discussion in Congress on tn
e silver bill, debatable) what is
/ when that government makes one poun
of copper and nickle worth only sevent
cents, pass current among small dealer
and the laboring people who handle bt
little money, pass for five do liars.
