and there she found that a large, red hot
coal had split open, and between IL lay
an object which resem bled small pitcher.
She carefully removed Ii and found that
il was made of plain sarthenware, of a
raw sienna color, partially changed to a
steel gray by the heat OF the stove. Stand

and gradually tapers at the top.
A theory brought TO mind lead to the
belief that such objects are relics of some
ancient people, and possibly that they
were used in the mines by the miners and
had been accidentally lost or thrown
away TO some remote spot where the pick
or shovel had not touched for many days
or even years. AT length the once remote
spot where worthless coal lay has been
proved upon 10y the miuer, and the, lost
object buried by the ever increasing coal
bed that completely swallowed 1t NJ, hes

distant town and the coal bin.

was a more or less pleasant quest, but for
a long time he failed TO fad head and
face that suited him exactly. At length
some friend mentioned TO him the re-
markably classic features Of Miss Anna
w. Williams, a school teacher, and TO her
Mr.. Morgan secured an introduction.
Her Beautiful face made deep impress
sion upon him, and he studied Il care
fully. Finally he told Miss Williams
what he wanted and his desire to use her
as the model of the GODDESS OF Liberty
on the silver dollar soon TO be coined. A
prompt refusal was Miss Williams answer
TO his request, but subsequently friends
exerted their influence and she
finally gave five sittings TO an artist.
After this the design for the dollar was
quickly completed and so enthusiastic
was Mr.. Morgan that he declared that
Miss Williams profile was the most perfect
he had seen In England or America. The
design was accepted and since then the
silver dollars with Miss Williams coun-
terfeit presentment as the Goddess OF Lib
erty upon them, have been pouring out OF
the. mint in millions.

Left handed,men, women and children
are to be found everywhere, but how
many are aware that there are left-eyed
people and many of them. Well, doctor
who makes a special study of the eye tells
the Gossiper that the greater part OF the
human family may be divided into two
classes-the left eyed and the right eyed.
Those who have eyes, both OF which are
of equal strength, number one in every 100
while those whose left eyes are stronger
than the right number one out of every
10. The performance of right-eyed peo-
pie is explained by the fact OF the greater
uge OF the organs of the right side OF the
body which are strengthened by exercise.
sjea captains, before the binocular glass
came into use discovered that their right
eyes were much stronger than the left,
due of course, TO the frequent use OF the
spy-glass with that optic. And aurists
declare that persons who use one ear
more than another are certain to develop
the strength of that part icular organ TO a
greater degree than the one less frequent
ly employed. III this is true and there
seems no reason TO doubt II the Gossiper
sees nothing ahead but a race OF left-eared
people, for 90 out of every one hundred
persons who use telephone place the
receiver to the left ear. And then think
OF the telephone girl Why, with her
chances TO develop the strength OF her
hearing apparatus she ought TO be able
to hear through solid substances as readi-
ly as the X rays make photographs.

Early in 1876 the Treasury department
at Washington received through the royal
mint of England the services of young
designer and enaraver, George Morgan 10y
name. When he arrived in this country
he was installed at the mint I'm Philadel-
phia. About the first work assigned to
him was that OF preparing a design for a
new silver dollar. For several months
be labored upon IT, and finally completed
the design for the reverse side, upon
which the American eagle was the pre-
dominant and predominating figure.
Then came the other side. Upon this he
was at first inclined to place fanciful
head representing the Goddess OF Lib
erty, but he had a strong strain of real
ism In his make up, and he could not
make himself satisfied with a head which
was simply the product of fancy.

"Do you notice anything unusual about
Che work on the Grosvenor building"
the Gossiper was asked by Superintend-
ent Gardiner of the Stoughton division OF
.he Consolidated road. The Gossiper
scrutinized the building and the work
men, or as many as he could see,
but was forced to confess that he observed
nothing unusual Then Mr.. Gardiner
proceeded TO give a lesson ia observation
which was decidedly valuable. lie ex-
planned that the sytem pursued in the
construction of the big structure is en-
tirely new to Providence. In the erection
of other large buildings the people have
noticed that scaffolding or staging has
heretofore been employed. Ii started from
the ground and grew in height as the
structure proceeded zenithward. This
method was used in the Industrial Trust
building, the largest structure OF It's
kind In Rhode ISLAND. ALI the work was
done from the outside, while on the
Grosvenor building there Is no staging
save Just above the first story on the
Weybosset street front and along the Post
Office Court side. The structure Is being
built from the inside. The immense iron
is placed in position and bolted, the iron
floor beams laid. the granite footing with
its backing OF brick ana all taking their
places systematically and speedily from
within. An army of workmen is engaged
ana yet all the noise and clatter and tur-
moil which usually accompany the build
ing OF such a structure are absent and all
the passerby hears is the occasional toot
OF a shrill whistle or the pulsations OF
exhaust steam from the engines as they
hoist iron beams and heavr granite blocks
into place. Thus is going up almost
silently one OF the finest buildings in
New Enlgand.
II You are so fortunate as TO possess a
silver dollar take a look at the God dess of
Liberty upon IL. A fine profile indeed IL
makes, doesn't 1t? And now the goddess
is going to be married. Doubtless you
We're not aware of that. Few people are,
for about everyone who has made a study
of the goddess as she appears on the silver
dollar has been under the impression that
she is merely the creation of an artistic
Imagination. But she isn't. On the con-
trary, the young woman whose counter
felt presentment appears on the silver
dollar, Is very much alive, very much
admired, and what is more. very. happy,
for Ii Is safe 10 assume that goddesses ex-
tract happiness from the contemplation of
the near approach OF matrimony.

Especial Dispatch to the GAZETTE.
The event of the week was of
course the wedding over at Mrs
Dimmick's yesterday. Several of
us correspondents got invites as
Harrison said he wanted the thing
wrote up right. The groom wore a
new suit of clothes that must have
cost SIS at least, while the bride
looked real nice in something
white. Harrison will be &c next
birthday,Sswhile the.bride has seen
AZ summers but nobody would
have it to look at them. Miles
Crowley, OF Texas, was best man,
as he and Ben are very thick and
frequently took in the town togeth-
er. Both bride and groom stood
the ceremony very we'll, as they
had been there before. When the
knot was tied every one went up
and congratulated them and Miles
Crowley would have his fun. Co
ing up to Harrison he whispered
in his ear loud enough to be heard
nearly all over the room; "say, !
Ben, if the first one is a boy be sure
and name it Miles" Ben turned
red in the face at this while the
bride snickered. Crowley slapped
the old man on the back and
laughed loud enough to be heard
a block. When everybody was
drought shaking hands the groom
handed the the preacher 6.75cash,
rs in paper money and two dollars
and six bits in silver. Ben always
was close. The young(?) couple
will go TO housekeeping at once. I
saw them out in town this morn
ing picking some dishes and furni-
ture. Ben also told me to see if I
could find him a second hand
cooking stove.
The Cuban question is still all
the 60. All the congressman and
senators who made speeches in ia
vor of Cuba some time ago now feel
solid with their constituents, but
those who were fool enough to OPP
pose the matter now see how they
"gone and done it," Several of
them seeing no better way out Of it
now come out boldly and claim they
were drunk when they made the
speeches. Among this number is
the Hon Horace Chiffon of Texas.
Horace took me out to one side the
other day and said; "See here,
Post, I'm in a mighty bad fix about
that Cuban business and I'm afraid
to go back to Texas until the mat
ter is fixed some way. The day [

IFS had been out celebrating Hoke
Smiths birthday and got pretty
full. l had been drinking beer all
knowing that I was going
to speak, but just before dinner I
was fool enough to take couple of
whiskey straights on top of the
beer and the whole thing went 10
my head, and when l got up to
speak I got things all turned
around" Horace seemed to feel
very bad about the matter and
made me promise to do all l could
