The coinage of an American "a gold
piece has probably excited more mail in
curry from Mr. A. Z. Preston, director of
the mint than any or all the other coin
age Of the United States, says the WASH
ington Post The minting of the coin was
authorized by the coinage committee or
the house OF representatives in 1873, as also
what is termed the goloid dollar and gold
metric dollar. The goloid dollar, so call
ed. is composed of one part gold ana
twenty-five parts silver, making total
of twenty-five parts, nine-tenths fine and
weighing 25S.
The gold metric dollar (of 1879 is also
composed of one part gold, but has Isl
parts silver and 10 parts copper, making
a total of 19 parts, and is in weight 142
grammes, while the standard metric dol
lar OF 1879 contains SS5S parts silveI, Al
parts gold, 100 copper, maEing a total or
1000 and the weight of the coin %
grammes.
The Stella or 81 gold coin, which belongs
to this authorized. series, contains six
grammes of pure gold, three parts silver
and seven parts copper, making total or
seven grammes. There were but 40 or
each of these coins struck, and they were
distributed among the members Of con-
gress and a few officials, the price for
the series being $675 coin of the realm.
It Is easily inferred that none of the
coins are in circulation, nor will the Unit
ed States pay their face value for them.
as stated by Director Preston. The pres
entation of these coins by their several
holders in different parts Of the country
accounts for the numerous mail inquiries
addressed to the director of the mInt as
to their genuineness ana also to numts-
matists, who desire to purchase specimens
for their collections
In fact, IL is from this latter class that
the greater part of the inquiries come, as
but few people outside the students or
devotees of numismatics know aught Of
the coinage in question. 1t is presumed
that some Of the original holders of the
pieces parted with them to friends as
presents and these presents or souvenirs
being exhibited by the grateful recipients.
has given rise to the superstition that
the mint issued them in large quantities
as a circulating medium.
There is a popular illusion as to the
value of old and rare coins, of which nu-
mismatists in the business for profit nat
urally take advantage. Few know that
copper coins Of certain dates will sell for
100 times more to the collector of coins
than a gold piece of the same date, or
that an American cent with the date 1855
win bring a better price than gold piece
OF the reign OF Trajan, Hadrian or the
Antonines. This is easily accounted for,
so far as the Roman coins are concerned
The ancients secreted their hoardings in
thes ground. and whenever these hoard
ings are discovered in modern times, large
quantities of the same issue or mintage
are obtained at one time. Thus the rarity
of the COIN which gives 1t it's value, is de-
stroyed by the quantity found.
An American cent of 1856 will readily

SAILED SIX HUNDRED MILES
WITH NO RUDDER GEARING

PENSACOLA, Fla. Dec. 15.-Sailing a
course of 600 miles without rudder, is a
feat accredited a crew of the fishing
schooner Osceola, Capt. Mcdonald, Of Pen
sacola. which arrived lat Saturday after
noon from the red snapper fishing banks
on the Bay of Campeachy.
The accomplishment is regarded as one
without parallel and only because the YES
sci was new and the crew a thoroughly
experienced one does Capt. Mcdonald ac-
credit his safe arrival.
1t was on the morning of December T.
in latitude 22.03 north, and longitude 91.20
west, that the Osceola encountered a stiff
and sudden 'norther." the rudder fasten-
ings gave away and the steering gear was
lost before repairs could be made. The
vessel, by nautical calculation, was $50
miles exactly from her home port without
a rudder.
An attempt was made to rig a Jury
rudder from the main-topmast, but this
failed and it was decided to try and reach
Pensacola without a rudder. This was no
sooner suggested than taken up, and for
several days severe weather was en-
countered making progress out OF the
question. Finally on Thursday night PEN
sacola light was sighted and by slow
stages the vessel labored up to port. where
a vessel found her and towed her to the
wharf.
