Diana OF Philadelphia.

At the mint in Philadelphia are a
number of coins far more precious than
any which find their way into circula-
ton. They are collection Of curios,
and many of them date from times Of
great antiquity.
Perhaps the most interesting among
them is handsome coin bearing on its
face the profile of a woman, which has
striking resemblance to the Goddess
of Liberty Of our own currency. Under
meath is the single word "Demos," !"
which is the Greek for 1.-THE People" J"
On the reverse of the coin Is a beautf-
full figure of the goddess Diana, arching
her bow, and the Inscription, translated
into English, reads, "Diana. Friend Of
the Philadelphians."
The coin was minted more than two
thousand years ago at the city Of Phil
adelphia in Asia Minor, where, as we
know, there grew up in later years one
Of the seven churches of which St.
John writes. The prize was discovered
some years ago in Europe by Joseph
Mickey, of Philadelphia, a vio.in-mak-
er and an authority on coins. By him
it was appropriately presented to the
mint in Philadelphia.

self suffered the shock of an invasion.
The city was in state of almost In
credible unreadiness, and when the
British general and his soldiers march
ed up the streets of the newly built
town they met with little opposition
worthy of anything like the name. One
after another the public buildings fell
victims to the freman's torch. The
uncompleted Capitol fell first, the
White House soon shared the same
fate.
The British occupancy of the capital
lasted only single day, but the DAM
age effected was incalculable. A
wooden building was hastily erected
for Congress, which afterward became
known to fame as the "Old Capitol
Prison." Madison rented the Octagon,
a celebrated dwelling standing on New
York avenue and Eighteenth street in
which he signed the treaty of peace
with England which terminated the

duties Of government. They were soon
quartered in the little cluster of brick
offices built around the white house
for the departments, and when In No
vember the President and his wife ar
rived and the sixth Congress started
It's proceedings in the single finished
wing of the new Capitol the Govern
ment circle was complete. But the
head Of the new capital was the second
not the first, chief magistrate Of the
nation-Washington had died the De-
cember previously-and it was his
trusted compatriot, John Adams, who
began the first official rule in the first
permanent capital of the United
States.
The personal side of the city Of Wash
ington had little to recommend it in
those early years Of official occupancy.
President Adams had entered the capi-
tai defeated candidate for reelection,
and his short stay of four months was
embittered by the thought of his early
leaving. Society, what there was of 1t,
was formal and ceremonious, a marked
difference from the lack Of etiquette
which ushered in the reign of Jeffer-
sonian simplicity. Thomas Jefferson
succeeded President Adams as host Of
the executive mansion, and the story
Of his inaugural-the first inaugural
which the new capital had Witnessed
is scantily prophetic of the pomp and
beauty of the pageant of the present
4th Of March.
During the eight years of Thomas
Jefferson's Presidency the White House
was truly the house Of the people. He
was a widOwer when he came to the
Office, SO the duties Of receiving lady"
had devolved upon the wife of Madi-
son, then Secretary of State-the lovely
Dolly of song and story, who was par
excellence the beauty" In the days
when Madison was President.
The city grew but slowly during
Jefferson's term Of Office. At it's close
it contained only 5000 inhabitants, a
result largely due to the continued agi-
Inauguration Of President Madison was
a scene Of somewhat more ceremony
than the lack Of it displayed in 1900.
Society began to dutter about the capi-
tai. Mrs. Madison started return to
the ceremonious regime of President
Adams. She held levees and gave court
dinners and balls, and assemblies were
everywhere the rule Of the hour.
In the midst of the sounds of gayety
the clash Of arms soon intermingled
its alarum, and before the President
