Louisiana Light Artillery.

A fact not generally known is that the
State OF Louisiana possesses in her Ma
tional Guard larger light artillery force
than any other State in the Union, New
York not excepted. New York, accord
ing to the last military report, had a few
more than 700 men in the artillery
branch Of the State National Guard,
whereas, Louisiana had few over 80.
The same $50 Just now are figuring on
the cost of fitting out the artillery for
war, which would be great. A battery
OF artillery, which consists of six field
pieces, requires nine caissons one Gals
son being insufficient for the ammuni-
ton required by one piece, and each field
piece and each caisson requires six horses,
making a total OF ninety head for the
guns and caissons. Besides this, there
are four commissioned and six non
commissioned officers mounted in each
battery, making 100 head of stock, and
the forge. battery wagon, and other
necessary Accomplishments of battery
require fortyfour more horses, making a
total of l44 horses to the battery. That
means that in the event of war the five
batteries of the Washington ARTILLERY
would require 720 horses, and the four
batteries Of the Louisiana Field Artil.
lery 576, or total Of 1896 horses for
the batteries, without considering the
staff officers.

NAMES OF COINS.
They Differ According to the Section
of the Country.

Oh the country.
Referring to the word "picayune," it
may not be uninteresting to give a
sketch of subsidiary coinage and cur
rency used in the past, ana the various
names under which it was known.
In Ohio in 1874 and previously there
was good deal of foreign coin in cir
culation, mostly Spanish, with some of
the old State coinage of different States
occasionally making its appearance. One
of the most plentiful of these foreign
coins was a piece which passed current
for 81 cents.
In Ohio this was known as a tippenny
bit, contraction, probably, OF fivepenny
bit. The half-dimes of American coin
age were also becoming frequent at that
time, and as distinction between the
half-dime and the fppenny bit, the
former was contracted to the word "fp."'
The dine went under its lawful name,
while the old Spanish double of the ftp
penny bit was known as the "bit," and
the Spanish and Mexican quarterdol-
lars were nearly always referred to as
two bits"
The latter term still obtains in refer
ence to uuarter-dollar American pieces
in some sections. There was also New
York State 'two-bit'' coin, as well as a
'bit' of the same coinage, which was
sometimes called the York shilling"
The Pine Tree State shilling" COM
ing from Maine, was sometimes seen, but
not much used. Its value was supposed
to be l6i cents. The old-fashioned big
copper cent OF American coinage was
plentiful, while occasionally an English
halfpenny of copper was found floating
around, generally passing on the same
basis as the American copper cent.
Queen Nictoria's head was then shown
ON the English halfpennies.
In Illinois sthe tippenny bit was the
picayune, while the flip had its proper
name of a half-dime, or ) cents. But the
larger coins retained the old names, us
did the copper cents. The term picay-
une originated with the French who had
settled st. Louis and had settlements at
points all the way from New Orleans to
st. Louis, and the further Northwest,
and their names for money predomnated
in that region.
In New York State everything was
based on the shilling" which repre-
was always two lhillinys y and ali
