WHERE PENNIES ARE COINED.-It

WHERE PENNIES ARE CoINED.-1t
is not generally known that all the
minor coins of base metal, such as pen
nies and nickels, are made at the Phil
adelphia mint, and that nearly lOO,-
100000 pennies are coined there every
year. This large number is occasioned
by the fact that thousands of pennies
are lost annually, and the government
mas some difficulty in maintaining a
supply. The profit of the government
on their manufacture is large. The
blanks for making them are purchased
for 81 il Thousand from a Cincinnati
firm that produces them by contract.
Blanks for nickels are obtained in the
same way, costing Uncle Sam only a
cent and half apiece
Gold is coined in Philadelphia and
San Francisco. Not enough of it
comes into the mint at New Orleans to
make the coinage of it worth while.
Gold pieces are the only coins of the
United States which are worth their
face value intrinsically. A double
eagle contains 800 worth of gold with
out counting the tenth part copper.

ONLY ONE COIILD DO 1T.

"Last Sunday" said the clergyman
to his congregation, "some one put s
button in the collection bag. I won'
mention names. I will merely say
that only one individual in the
congregation could have done so, and
1 will expect the same member after
the service TO replace the button with
coin of the realm"
After church we'll to do but close
isted individual sought an interview
with the clergyman in the vestry
"I-er," he began, hesitatingly, "must
apologize for the-er-button incident
which I can assure you was an acci'
dent. 1 happened to have the button
in my waistcoat pocket, together with
shilling, and took out the former by
mistake. However, sir, here is the
shilling"
"Thank you," said the clergyman
taking the shilling and gravely hand
ing him the button.

"Didn't know? But you said, sir
that only one individual in the congre'
CATION could have done So"
"Just so. You see, sir it is scarcely
possible that two individuals could
have put one button in the bag, is it
not?" said the clergyman, with a
bland smile.

Late Literary News.

MO one ever thought of introducing so
~ expensive feature as photographic
color work in the days when the leading
magazines sold for 81 a year and 35 cents
copy. But times change, and the maga-
zines change with them. 1t has remained
for THE COSMOPOLITAN, sold at 81 year,
to put in an extensive photographic plant
capable Of printing 100000 pages per day,
lone color.) The January issue presents
as frontispiece water color drawing by
Eric Pape, illustrating the last story by
Robert Louis Stevenson, which has pro-
badly never been excelled even in the
pages of the finest dollar French periodl-
Gals. The cover of THE COSMOPOLITAN is
also changed, drawing of page length
by the famous Paris artist Rossi, in litho-
graphic colors on white paper takes the
place of the MANILA back with its red

WHAT WAR MOULD DO.

The Detroit Tribune rightly con-
cludes that in the event of war with
the United States, creditor Eng
land would be at q disadvantage
The moment war is declared the Unit
ed States must necessarily assume a
position of Financial independence, and
its interests being opposed to those OF
England, the latter would be very
likely to get hurt. The truth is that
even in peace the debtor occupies the
stronger position, unless it allows the
creditor nation to dictate its policy, as
we have done during the last % years.
If we permit England to say what our
money standard shall be, she will de-
clare for gold, because it enables her
to collect what we owe her in money
that is all the time getting dearer.
But when we assume an attitude OF
independence the whole situation
changes. Much of our foreign debt is,
by its terms, payable here and simply
in "dollars." Under the present sys-
tenn this, Of course, means gold dol
lars OF their equivalent. Therefore, it
is to the interest of the foreign creditor
to enchance the value of gold. But the
instant silver resumes its proper place
in our monetary system, every for
eign debt payable in this country is
liable to be discharged in silver dol
lars, and the foreign creditor is vitality
interested in sustaining their value.
Let the American republic open its
mints once more to silver, and many
of those who now sneer at the "debas-
ed" and "dishonest" silver dollar, will
very speedily change their attitude,
and labor strenuously to prove that
the silver dollar is, at least, as good as
the "best money in the world" Thus
it will be seen that with silver remon-

ABSENT -MINDEDNEss. "A Scottish

observation-disclosures. Scottish
farmer, who was little absent-mind'
ed, was one day going into Perth with
a load of hay. He had the horse out
of the stable, but instead Of backing
it into the shafts of the wagon, he
absent t-mindedly led the animal along
the road, and never as much as looked
behind him till he walked into the yard
leading the horse where the hay was
to be delivered. "Where will back
it into? he cried to the stableman
standing by.
"Back in what ?" asked the man.
"The hay, you stupid idiot"
"What hay Ye've nae hay, ye daft
gowk !"
Turning round, to his CONSERVATION
the farmer for the first time apprehen'
ded the fact that he had left the wagon
at home and brought the horse alone
In a hurry to repair the error, he
started off at trot, and was half way
back to his own farm before he realized
the fact that he had left his horse be-
hind.

BLACKsBURG, January 30.-On Friday
of last week, flock Of wild geese were
seen flying over this place in northwest
erly direction. Such course for such
wise birds to take so early in the winter is
of course a surprise to most observers OF
the ''signs and seasons;" but it may be
that some of our weather prophets, he OF
Chester, for instance, may be able to ex-
plain the phenomenon.
Mr.. Fl. c. Stowe, of Pittsylvania coun-
ty, Va, has come here for the purpose OF
raising tobacco. He has lived on tobac
co farm all of his life, and is an expert in
the matter of raising and curing the weed.
He was induced to come here, because
the tobacco raised in this State, and which
has been sold in the Danville, Va, mark
ct, is superior in texture and flavor to
that raised in Virginia. Besides Mr..
Stoves testimony, there are other evil
dences of the fact that the Piedmont sec
ton of South Carolina, can and will be

Our clever and efficient Chief of Police
J. C. Duncan did very skillflll and sue

witnesses to perjury. Mr.. \. II. Pollock
secured his release from Jail by signing
his bond for $500. When the time came
for trial, Tobe skipped and left Mr.. Pol

known only to detectives, Chief Duncan
heard of Tobe at Asheville under the as
sumed name of 81. G. CALDWELL" He

BooTs FROM HUMAN SKIN.-In 1876
the firm of Hahreaholtz Bros, boot and
shoe manufacturers, New York City,
made pair of boots from human skin,
which they sent to the Centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia. They
were never put on exhibition. which
shows that there was some humanity
left in the exposition officials if not in
the maker of the ghastly footwear.
They were afterwards sent to the
Smithsonian Institute, but were not
allowed shelf room.

B1METALIsM.-In the Bible the Lorp
says ''The gold and the silver is mine"
Does not that show that silver is good
money? Sound currency? And should
not a Christian nation establish it as
such ? Many things are used for cur
rency, and have been-as iron and
cowrie shells but no mention is made
of them in the Bible, whereas silver,
and gold are constantly Joined togeth-
er. And does it not show we should
give them to the Lord in offerings.

Won THE CAsE.-Many years age
in Virginia case was on trial in which
the defendant was accused of shooting
into a party that had come to "horn'
him, form of country celebration
common at that time, says The Green
Bag. Dennis Keeny appeared for the
defendant. 1t was shown that the
gun with which the shooting was done
was loaded with dried peas instead Of
lead. Finally a very dirty looking
witness was called, and testified that
he had been shot in the right leg. On
cross-examination the fellow appeared
rather shifty, and finally Keeny asked
him to show the jury the exact spot
where the pea took effect. The fellow
demurred, saying that the shooting
had been done six weeks before, and
the wound had healed. At last, with
great reluctance, the witness drew up
his right trouserleg, exposing limb
well covered with dirt. Pointing to q
spot which, if possible, was blacker
than the rest, the witness said:
"There, that's where they went in
Keeny turned to the jury and in q
most impressive manner said:
"Gentlemen, 1 leave it to your
knowledge of crops; if peas had been
planted in that soil six weeks ago they
would be in blossom now."
The witness retired in confusion, and
Keeny won his case.

DON'T TRY TO CHEAT A LAWYER.

A young lawyer, just starting in his
profession, hung out his sign in Con-
necticut town where there was only
one other lawyer, an aged judge.
A close-fsted old fellow thinking to
get legal advice for nothing, called
upon the young man, told him ne was
yery glad he had come into the town,
as the old judge was getting superan.
nuated, and then contrived in sort OF
neighborly talk to get some legal ques-
tions answered. Then thanking the
young man, he put on his hat and was
about to leave, when the young man
asked him if he should charge the ad-
vice, for which the fee was SIS. The
old fellow went into violent passion,
and swore be never would pay. The
Young lawyer told him he would sue
him if he didn't.
So the old fellow went down to see
the Judge, found him hoeing in his
garden, and said:
"That young scamp that's just come
into town! 1 dropped in to make a
neighborly call on him, and he charges
me SIS for legal advice"
"Served you right" said the judge
'you had no business to have gone to
him."
"But have I got to pay, judge ?"
"Of course you have"
"Well, then" said the man, II sup
pose I must" and he started off.
"Hold on" said the judge "aren't
you going to pay me ?"
"Pay you? What for ?"
"For legal advice"
"What do you charge? ?"
"Ten dollars"
The result was that the old fellow
had to pay IS to the young lawyer,
and $40 to the old one.
