In 1868 party consisting of Lowell,
Emerson, Agassiz, Judge Hoar, w. J.
Stillman and several others spent few
weeks of the summer in the Adiron-
dacks.
The journey of the company gave rise
to an incident which has often been in
correctly told. and which, as a curious
comment upon human fame, deserves to
be told again. The coming of the party
was of course made known along the
track it would follow. and at Keese-
vile, where the common roads then
ended, the town was agog to see the
philosophers, as they were at once
collectively called. But neither Emer-
son nor Lowell was known, Agassiz be-
ing the only celebrity to that world, ow-
ing to his having recently refused the
offer by the emperor of France of the
kecpership of the Jardin des Plantes at
Paris and senatorship with large sal
ary, he preferfng to devote himself to
science and America.
The selectmen of the town waited on
the visitors early in the morning after
their arrival to pay their respects, they
said, but really to see man who had
no regard for money and distinction.
They were received formally, the spokes-
man bringing a copy of a periodical
which contained a portrait of Agassiz,
which he produced and carefully com
pared with the lineaments of the pro-
fessor until he had satisfied himself Of
the authenticity of the individual, when
he addressed his followers with, eyes,
it's himf And they then proceeded to
shake hands with him, the rest of the
party being ignored.-W. J. Stillman in
Century.

Below give five theories of the origin
of the dollar mark ~, they being select
ed from about 90 seemingly plausible
solutions:
That it is combination of the ''U. S."
the initials of United States.
That it is modification of the figure
8, the dollar being formerly called q
''piece Of eight"
That it is derived from representa-
ton of the Pillars of Hercules, consisting
of two needlelike towers or pillars con-
nected with scroll. The old Spanish
coins marked with the pillar device
were frequently referred to as pillar
dollars"
That it is a combination of "H. ST."
the ancient Roman mark of money unit.
That it is a combination of P. and S.
from peso duro, signifying "hard dol
lar" In Spanish accounts peso is CON
tracted by writing the S. over the p,
and placing it over the sum.
According to one writer the symbol of
the dollar is monogram of the letters
"V' "S' and ~" the dollar being
originally "thaler" coined in the val
ley of SAINT Joachim, Bohemia, and
known as Joachim thaler," and the
monogram tho initials of the words,
VALLEY SAINT Joachim. st Louis Re-

IN SENATE AND HOUSE,
Opposing Speeches by Messrs. woIoost
aud Cnfery.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-The speech Of
Mr.. Wolcott, of Colorado, against the bill
to repeal the purchasing clause OF the
Sherman net was delivered yesterday in
the presence Of almost all the senators and
OF large audience in the galleries. The
most telling parts of it, and those that
amused and interested its hearers most,
were some humorous and sarcastic
touches, In which he depicted the conver.
sion of Democratic statesmen from their
belief in silver and their devotion to bi.
metallism to the gold monometallism faith
of the president. The noxt speech was on
the opposite side of the question, and was
made by Mr.. Caffery, the successor,ef Mr..
Gibson, Of Louisiana. 1t was his first up:
pearance In the senate as speechmaker,
but the speech was remarkable as pro.
nounced declaration in favor of the uncon.
ditional repeal of the Sherman law, al.
though he admitted that the position so
taken by him might not meet the approval
OF his state. and might put bar to his
further political career. The resolution
offered last week by Mr.. Peffer, of Kan
sas, in reference to national banks refus,
ing to pay checks Of rfreir depositors In
currency was taken up, and against his
opposition, and that of score of other
mittee
The "threshing over old straw" was
amusement which the house INDUCED in
yesterday. The rules of the Fifty-third
congress were relegated to the background
aad the rules of the Fifty-frst congress
came in for the chief part of the discus
sion. No new charges were made and no
new answers were interjeoted, but Mr.
Reed was kept on his feet continuously,
justifying the propricty of his course when
he occupied the chair. The banking and
currency and the coinage, weights and
measures committees were granted leave
to report at any time; and these were the
only noteworthy changes made in the now
order. Bnt thore is an amendment still
that, If adopted, may be found to he far
reaching in its effects. It was offered by
Mr.. Boatner, of Louisiana, and provides
for practical cloture whenever mem
ber In charge of measure on the floor

MUSIC AND GLOWING ADDRESSES.

Thousands Gather to Celebrate the Thir-
Young Lady who Guides the Destiny Of
Old Holland.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Thousands Of per-
sons entering the gates of the exposition
yesterday wore upon their breasts yell
low silken badge with the inscription in
black across it face ''Netherland's Day"
They had come to the fair to celebrate tho
birthday of their queen, the young lady
who In II measure guides the destiny of
old Holland. Queen Wilhelmina is the sole
living descendant of Prince William, the
Silent, of Orange. who secured the indie
pendcncc of the Netherlands She was 13
years old yesterday, having already
reigned about two years. This is the FIRST
great gathering of Dutchmen ever held in
the west Hon. George BirkhofT, Jr.,
royal commissioner general to the fair and
consul Of the Netherlands, acted as cAair-
man and delivered an address, which was
enthusiastically received.
The Nctherland anthem, "Wien Neer
lands Bloeds," was then sang by the chorus
and audience, after which the Rev. j. Van
Houte, of Holland, Mich, delivered an
address in Dutch upon the topic 1.-The Day
we Celebrate" After u song by the chorus
Hon. q. j. Dickema, of Holland, Mich,
ex-speaker OF the house of representatives
OF Michigan, delivered an address in En-
glish. His subject was "The Intlu ence tf
the Netherlands upon the United States"
Among other things he said:
political institutions, like trees, are
the results of growth, and the great polit-
ical tree under the shelter of whose
branches 60 Od0, ,O)o of freemen noN dwell,
has its roots deeply imbodied in the history
OF all quarters of the globe.
The historian who looks upon America
simply a transplanted England, does not
understand the spirit Of our institutions;
neither does historical research confirm
the theory of the over Jealous American
who looks upon our Institutions as the
originnl and spontaneous outgrowth OF
the mighty brains of the pilgrim fathers
In opr political institutions we are heirs
OF all the ages. Governor Horatio Seymour
has well said that the nine men most
prominent in the early history of New
York and the union represent as many
nationalities
That country, then, whose institutions
have exercised the most powerful and
greatest influence upon the minds of the
people of New England, New York and
Pennsylvania have left tho deepest i'm
print upon American institutions, and
this position is claimed for the people of
the Netherlands"

cations Of the United States to the Hol-
landers;" D. T. Bolker, of Amsterdam, on

Meeting In Phtladelphia-
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. IA meeting of
unemployed people, at which Emma Gold
man was to have been the star attraction,
was held at Buffalo hall, this city. last
night. 1t had been advertised as being
under the auspices Of several unemployed
workingmen," and the hall was packed
with about 800 people. mostly Germans,
Russians and Poles. While the assemblage
was being addressed German rushed in

effect of this announcement was electrical.
Every man in the hall rushed for the door

and clubs, and were driven back into the
hall, where they were quoted by a speech
by the chairman.

citing riot in that city. Her arrest was
accomplished just as She was entering the
hall. Otto l4ieble, a Prussian, who was
escorting her, attempted to pull her away
from the detectives, and was locked up ON
the charge of resisting an officer. Albert

In the hall, was also arrested charged
with melting riot.
Emma Goldman was conveyed in
patrol wagon to the central station and
locked up. She expresses Willingness to
return to New York without a requisition,
and it is probable that she will be taken to
that city today She did not appear to be
much disturbed by her arrest, although
she expects the New York authorities will
succeed in having her sentenced to term
in prison. She declared that she is an an
archlst and an atheist, and she says she is

Jhnm over the Dull Times.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 1.-The farmers
are becoming alarmed at the likelihood of
having to market their cotton at present
prices, and today the Mechanicsvile Al
lance unanimously adopted the following:
Whereas, the money sharks and gold
bugs have contracted the volume oil money
so chat there is practically no money in
the country to move the cotton crop, and
whereas congress does not seem to intend
to give us necessary relief in time to
save us from bankruptcy therefore be it
resolved.
First, that we earnestly appeal to the
governor Of South Carolina to call an ex-
ira session of the legislature, not later than
Sept. l5, to pass stay law on all debts
falling due on or before Nov 10, so that
we may be enabled to pay our debts with
out banhrupting ourselves aud starving
our wives and children.
Second, that under our present condi-
tiOns there Is no way whereby we can meet
our demands for money to pay our debts
without sacrificing our homes and prop
erty, which we dc not propose to be forced
to do. Tnke our lives, but do not starve
our wives and children.
