METAL MONEY.
The Greeks Started Coming Lens Be-
fore the Christian Era.

The Greeks Started Coming Lens Be-
fore the Christian Era.
The invention of coinage is due to
the Greeks, most probably to the bank
ers of Halicarnassos and adjacent
Asia Minor Greek colonies, who to-
ward the end Of the eighth century
B. G. began stamping the small gold
and electron ingots which passed
through their hands as currency with
a mark Of some sort intended to guar
antee the weight and purity of the
metal. Such ingots very soon assumed
a round and more regular shape, which
we find already in the Older silver
coins from Aegina nearly contemporary
with the Asia Minor "beans."
Curious to say, none OF the surround
ing peoples with whom the Asiatic and
European Greeks were In constant
communication, political or CONNER
cial, took up the wonderful Invention
which at present seems to us Of such
obvious necessity that we scarcely
realize how the civilized world of old
can ever have got on without 1t. As q
matter Of fact, however, neither the
Phoenicians, with their practical COM
mercial sense, nor the Lydians nor the
Persians, who claimed the supremacy
over the very cities where the new
currency was initiated, nor, OF course,
the Egyptians, ever had coinage till the
conquests Of Alexander disseminated
the Greek civilization all through the
eastern world.
The Romans came to know of it
through the Greek cities TN Sicily and
Magma Graecia and began striking sill
yer coins toward the beginning Of the
third century B. G. In the meantime
with the Greeks die sinking, Ike ev-
erything else, had fallen within the
domain Of art, and their coins, above
all those struck during the nfth and
fourth centuries B. c. by the Dorians
OF Sicily at Syracuse and Agrigentum,
have never been equaled and remain
forever standard Of beauty tor the
artist and a model OF perfection for

numerous charges were made in Cuba
against Captain Fremont to the effect
that he had made false statements about
his superior officers and that he had made
contradictory statements on these charges
when he was investigated by the inspector
general. The court martial found him
guilty on the charges. The case was APP
pealed to the Secretary of War with the
final result that the President has dis
missed Captain Fremont from the army.
