PICAYUNE.
WAS THE NAME OF A SMALL
 SPANISH COIN.
In Use in this County-Worth Six and Quarter Cents and Circu- lated Freely until About 1857.
 Then Redeemed by Treasury.

From time to time a great deal is said and written that is seriously misleading concerning the small Spanish coin, after which this newspaper was named, says The New Orleans Picayune.
 Congress, by the mint act of 1792, adopt ed the money unit of the United States money coinage. the Spanish milled dollar. or piece of eight reals" It was com monly called the piece of eight! It was of the value of eight reals of plate. that is of silver. A real had the value of 12 1-2 cents, the word ''real' in Spanish mean ing royal" The dollar was a piece of eight royals of silver. The real was also divided into two half-reals of the value of 6 IA cents. They were all coined by the Spanish hints in Spain and Mexico.
 For centuries after the discovery and conquest of a large part of the Western hemisphere by the Spaniards Spain had more gold and silver than was possessed by any other nation. and, perhaps. any half-dozen of the nations of Europe Spanish money was diffused over the countries of North America and in the British colonies there was little other hard money than Spanish. The Spanish silver coins, which were the dollar, the haaf-dollar, the qnarter-d dollar the eighth of dollar and the sixteenth of a dollar, were found everywhere in the United States from New England to Georgia. which was the most southern of the orig inal thirteen States.

Called in Spanish Coin.

The United States mint which got to work about 1795. was able to turn out but small coinage. and for years the Spanish coins made up the chief circu- lating m sdium. On February 21. 1S57 Con- gres enacted a law requiring that all Spanish coins received by the Govern ment should be melted and minted into United States money. From that time the Spanish coins began to disappear, and they have long ago gone out of use.
 The Spanish coins bore on their face, or obverse side, the portrait of the King, with the inscription in Latin, as in the case of Charles IT.. "Carolus III. Rex, Hispaniae. ct Indiarum." King of Spain and the Indies, with the date of coin age. The reverse side bore the Pillars of Hercules end the Spanish arms with the inscription, Ne Plus Ultra The Pill lars of Hercules referred to the two pro- monitories of Gibraltar, and the notion held by the ancient people of Southern Europe and Northern Africa, who be- ieved that there was on the earth no land to the westward of Gibraltar. The half dollars, the quarters, the eighths and six teenths of the dollar were all stamped In the same way.

egregious vanity on earth, but not one of meek humility.
 Few women make successful lawyers; they are unab ble to break themselves of the habit of giving free advice. You can skim the cream off milk and have something left that is sweet and good, but skim your love and what is left is bitter gall.
 When a woman changes her way of do- ing up her hair and her husband doesn t notice 1t. she knows right away that he doesn't love her any more.
 The first thing for a man to do with
 the woman he marries is to force her to
 understand that he is going to be firm
 about making her have her own way.

The name 'Picayune" is from a mon srel Carib-Spanish word, picalon. or pie aoon, pronounced as is common in New Orleans. It was applied in all the Span ish States and colonies, such as Florida and Mexico, both adjoining Louisiana, to the haf-real, or piece, worth six and one-fourth cents It was as well known In all the Atlantic States, where, how ever. 1t was called by different names, such as ftp" fourpence ha' penny, ftp penny bit. That the picayune was a reg ular Spanish coin as a matter of abund- ant and absolute record, is fully establish ed, and there was nothing about it that was local except the name In 1897. when The Picayune newspaper was founded, the Spanish half-real was the smallest coin in circulation in New Orleans, and 1t was adopted as the name and the price of this newspaper. The Picayune coin can be seen pictured with full descrip- ton in any of the illustrated coin man. uals
