Hunt and Byron.

The bond which kept Byron and Hunt
together was broken by Shelley's death
Byron was tired of him, and Hunt had not
the tact to leave him alone. We give
Byron's version of the estrangementr rather
than that of the other, for Leigh Hunts
answer for himself is a weaker apology
and had better have remained unwritten:
Hunts l,tter is probably the exact
piece of vulgar coxcombry you might ex-
pect from his situation. He Is a good man,
with some poetical elements in his chaos,
but spoiled by the Christchurch hospital
and Sunday newspaper-to say nothing
Of the Surrey jail, which conceited him in
to q martyr. But Leigh Hunt is good
man and a good father-see his odes to all
the Masters Hunt o good husband-see
his sonnet to Mrs. Hunt; a good friend
see his epistles TO different people; q great
coxcomb and very vulgar person in ev-
erything about him. But that's not his
fault, but Of circumstances.
Again, though with no direct allusion
to Hunt he writes:
"The pity of these men is that they nev-
or lived in high life nor in solitude. There
is no medium for the knowledge of the
busy or the still world. If admitted into
high life for a season, it is merely as spec
tators-they form no part of the mechan-
ism thereof. Now, Moore and I, the one
by circumstances and the other by birth,
happened to be free of the corporation and
to have entered into its pulses and pas
sions, 'quarum parties fulmus. Temple

called 10 to u. This is the present ratio

Gates to the amount Of $342, $40, 504 have
been issued against that amount of the
standard silver dollars held in the treasury.
The commercial value of an ounce of fine
silver June 3d. 1896, was so. 1924, and the
commercial value of the silver in the silver
dollar on that date was SO cents.
Paper Money.
The first paper money ever issued by the
government of the United States was au-
thoriZed by the acts of July II and Aug
5, 1861. The notes issued were called ode
mand notes" because they were payable
on demand ut certain designated subtreas-
uries. They were receivable for all public
dues, and the secretary was authorized to
reissue them when received but the time
within which such reissues might be made
was limited to Dec. 81, 1862.
The amount authorized by these acts
was $50, 900, 000 An additional issue of
0,000, 900 was authorized by the act Of
Feb. IL, 1869, and there were reissues
amounting to $50, 900. The demand notes
were paid in gold when presented for re-
demption, and they were received for all
public dues, and these two qualities pre-
vented their depreciation.
All other United States notes were de-
preciated in value from 1862 until the re-
sumption of specie payments. The act Of
Feb. 25, 1862, provided for the substitu-
ton of United States notes in place of the
demand notes, and they were therefore
Cancelled when received. BY July l, 1853,
all except So, 10, 900 had been retired, and
nearly $1,000, 900 of this small remainder
was Cancelled during the next fiscal year.
These notes were not legal tender when
first issued, but they were afterward made
SO by the act of March II, 1869.
United States Notes.
The principal issue of United States pa
per money was officially called United
States notes. These were the we'll known
"greenbacks" or illegal tenders" The
