ORIGIN OF PAPER MONEY.

beloved to- Have Been First Issued BY
italian Isankcrs Five Centuries Ago.
Paper money developed from the bills
OF exchange or certificates of the
banks was probably first issued by the
italian bankers of the fourteenth CEN
tury, says the San Francisco Examiner.
Governments found it an easy way of
obtaining money in times of necessity,
being, i'll effect ~ forced loan from the
people. Paper bills are promises to
pay, and when the government issues
them i'll exchange for supplies or scry-
ice 1T has actually borrowed lust rs
much from the man to whom it paws
them. 1t, however, allows him to nnss
this note in payment of his debts, so in
stead of being loan from him siaplv
1T is u loan from the whole people. The
case with which the notes may be is
sued has led many governments into
disastrous experiments in time of war
or stress, the promises being issued in
such profusion that they became of no
value. The continental currency issued
during the revolution by the American
congress, and the assignats of the
French revolution may be instanccd.
Paper money depends for its value on
it to give value for it when payment is
demanded. When the issue of the civil
war was in do,fbt the value of the
grccnbaclls issued by the United States
sank to onc-third their face value, due
partly to lack of confidence in the
government and due still more to the
certainty that payment of the notes
must be indefinitely postponed. Even
when the war closed and there was no
longer doubt of the government the
currency was deprecated for thirteen
years. The government was in the po-
sltion of the man known to his neigh
oors as good, but slow pay" His notes
pass at discount. The government
was known to be good for the amount,
and II was certain that it would be
ready to redeem its notes some day, but
that was not enough for the man who
wanted to use the money right away.
lie thus passed the notes Mt Il discount.
Inc value of paper money thus de-
ponds at any given moment on the
promise of the government to redeem
1T. If the promise will be met when the
notes are presented they pass ut their
face value. If there is doubt on this
point the notes must pass ut discount,
greater or less according to circum-
stances. If there is no chance that they
Will ever be paid they are worth moth
ing ut all. AS the United States gov
ernmcnt has stood ready since 1879 to
redeem in gold any notes as soon as
presented, its currency passes without
question as to it's face value

Connors woke at last, with a rather
luxurious sense of weakness, with a
dim recollection of some horrible
dream, but with n feeling that it was
all over now, and that he was rather
happy and contented than otherwise.
HIS head felt cool, and though when he
tried to raise his hands he found that
they were SO heavy he could not lift
them six inches, the discovery some
how did not cause him much anxiety.
but rather amused him.
He must have slept again, for the
next thing he remembered was seeing
a familiar little face above him, framed
in the long tresses of brown hair that
hung forward as she bent over him.
"Connors," she said. Il little quaver-
ingly, as she softly stroked one Of his
thin hands. and the touch was wonder
fully soothing to the invalid Con
nors, I'm so glad you're better. In
few weeks We'll be going out to look at
the horses together again, won't we?
And you have done the noblest thing I
ever heard of. Connors, youre-you're

and kissed him.

Perhaps it was because he was very
weak, but he felt that he was crying.

THE PEDAGoGUEs.
Lecture Delivered by Professor
Marshall Yesterday.

Salt Lake cunty's pedagogues met
yesterday morning at the University
of Utah being presided over by Coun-
ty Superintendent Allen.
Professor Marshall of the Utah Uni
versity gave very interesting lecture
as to the method of teaching grammar
in the schools He emphasized the i'm
portance of the teacher combining him
self or herself to one of the important
educational maxims: ''Makel haste
slowly, especially at the beginning
If the subject is taught by first MAX
ing the two important elements of a
sentence, as the noun and the verb
prominent, the other parts of speech
will come in natural sequence, and may
be taught as their Importance re-
quires. The teacher must present con-
crete truths, instead of including too
much of the abstract. Were this i'm
portant branch taught. as it's import
ance demands, the feeling on the part
of those who oppose it in the school
curriculum would pass away. After
| the parts of speech and their proper
ties have been presented elementary
composition and analysis will follow.
OF the different authors upon techni-
cal grammar the speaker commended
Kerl's Common School Grammar as a
book of reference, and Reed and KEEL
| logg, because of the prominence made
to lanaysis and diagraming.
An elementary outline of the method
of diagraming was presented on the
board, and it's salient points brought
out. Professor Marshall also spoke
upon the matter of teaching false syn
tax, stating that when this method of
teaching correct expression is ignored
the cream of the work is lost. A dis
cussion then followed the lecture, in
which the construction of sentences
and the relation of words to each
other were considered.
| Miss brotherhood, of the Utah Uni
versity, then read paper upon the
subject of drawing She dwelt upon
| the great utility of this branch and
its close relation to other studies. She
| illustrated her subject by drawing
upon the board, and by charts and
| maps, which explains very forcibly the
subject in hand. Relief maps were
presented to the teachers. being
| reached through a series of drawings,
| in which plains. mountains, forms of
water, volcanoes, coral islands, trees
etc, were brought to view. The lee
ture was highly appreciated, and was
Iattentively listened to.

grey bearded, brown wigged, mild

sat down to a table, tucked a big
napkin under his chin, drank the
whole of a glass of ice water the
waiter brought him, and said:

Fright, sir" said the waiter. hest
tatingly-
That's all, murmured the little old
man, as he pushed out his glass for a
fresh supply Of water.
The celery came. the little man
quickly devoured that: called for an
other order, made that disappear and
so on till all the walters, all the oyster
openers, all the attendants. the cashier
and customers were beholding him in
establishment. AS the last bit of the
succulent vegetable disappeared, the
waiter turned over the little mans
check, amounting to 80 cents All un-
conscious of the furore he had created

THE NEW GOLD CAMP.
What the wasatch Wave Says of
Mercur.

w nat tne WaS1tcA wave says OF
Mercur.
The new mining excitement near old
Camp Floyd is attracting considerable
attention, says the Wasatch Wave. Salt
Lake and Colorado mining men have
visited the ground and are investing in
the undeveloped property. If the Utah
miners are not enterprising and up to
the times they are nothing. When sill
yer became so low that it did not pay
for winning they found extensive gold
fields and are preparing to go right on
with the work of delving in the earth
for hidden treasures just as though
nothing had happened.
The new mineral grounds where
gold has been found covers a strip of
territory twelve miles long by four
wide. The ore ranges from 81 to s44 a
ton. Though it is of low grade the
miners have hope that it will become
richer as depth is reached. The scar
city of water is the greatest drawback
to the camp at present. Mercur is the
name of the new town. 1t contains
about twenty-five houses and a num-
Der of tents There are two stores, two
saloons and meat market in the
town. 1t is not a good place for a
poor man at present and we would adj
wise our readers not to get the fever
unless they have money to invest, and
in that event we would like to see
them invest it nearer home.

Some Arrests.

w. A. Shepherd, an employment
agent, doing business at IS East First
South, was arrested yesterday after
noon on complaint of Chrales Carsten-
sen and Charles Hogeland who charge
that they paid the agent 81 each on
the promise that he would secure them
employment This promise was not
fulfilled and the young men swore to
complaint charging Shepherd with
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. When they paid the money
they say Shepherd stated to them that
he had places for them both and upon
payment of the amount stated they
would secure the employment. The
case will be tried on Monday.
r The woman and Chinaman who were
arrested on the charge of fornication
were released, as there was no evil
dence against them, except the fact that
the Celestial was found in the womans
room on Franklin avenue. The female
is a common prostitute and very COM
mon at that.
