Unlawful TO Issue Coupons.

The attention of the treasury
department has been repeatedly
called to the fact that merchants
and traders throughout this
country are in the habit of issu-
ing coupon books, metallic checks,
etc, in lieu of money to circulate
and to be used in trade. That
this is open violation of the law
most of our people are doubtless
not aware, and the letters printed
below, addressed to the district

My opinion is requested as to
whether the use and circulation Of
either of these styles of tokens are
in violation of any of the statutes
of the United States.
The law makes it unlawful for
any person to make, or have in
his possession, with intent to use
the same, in any manner, a print
or impression, whether of metal
or its compound, or of any other
substance, whatever, in likeness
or similitude as to design or color
of any of the coins of the United
States. 26th Stats, P. 742.
The making and circulating of
the token or obligation in ques-
tion, made of metal, is clearly pro-
hibited by law.
1t will be observed that the
prints above referred to represent
denominations of which it is pro-
posed to make or stamp token or

To make or have in possession
such token money is also forbid
den by the statutes.

INSTINCT OF A GOOSE,

The following incident is soberly
related, and presumably true: An old
goose that had been for a fortnight
Matching in farmers kitchen, was
perceived on q sudden to be taken
violently i'll. She soon after left the
nest and repaired to an clubhouse
where there was a young goose of the
first year, which she brought with her
to the kitchen. The young one i'm
mediately scrambled into the old ones
nest, sat, hatched, and afterwards
brought up the brood. The old goose
as soon as the young one had taken
her place, sat down by the side of the
nest, and shortly after died. As the
young goose had never been in the
habit of entering the kitchen before,
/ know of no way of accounting for
this fact, than by supposing that the
old one had some way of communicat-
ing her thoughts and anxieties, which
the other was perfectly able to under
stand.

FAMILY COURTESY.

Probably one-half OF the rudeness
of youth of this day, that later in life
will develop into brutality, is due to
the failure of parents to enforce in the
family circle the rules of courtesy.
The son or daughter who is discount
eous to members ofthe family, because
OF familiarity with them, is very likely
to prove rude and over bearing to
others, and very certain to be tyrant
in the household over which he or she
may be called on to preside,
