Chicamauga. High Point/Look oat Mountain, Walker coun- r, December 21, 1877. * £* 4; . He Thought sad Thoughts. Detroit Free Press.] “Truman Harmony, you look sad,” said [his Honor to the first prisoner out. It was a tall, lathy, spindle-legged man, .hose eyes had a hollow look, and whose voice was that of a child crying out in Jthe night for bread and butter with su- |gar on it. Ho blew his nose in that off hand manner which betrays a wounded heart, and replied: “Was I doing anything when they ar- Irested me?” “Yes, you were seated on a faded and Itime-worn dry goods box, shedding tears land sobbing like a pine tree in Novem- |ber. When the officers asked you the ause of your sorrow you wept the more, fou refused to give your name and place |bf residence, and believing you to be either drunk or crazy, you were sleigh- rided down here.” “Is it agin the law to cry when a fel- llow feels bad ?” “I dont know as it i3, unless your sobs [disturb the peace. Why did yon sor- firow.” “Cause 1 was sad.” “And why were yefti sad ?” “Cause I got to thinking.” “About what?” “About dead folks—and Heaven—and Ipngets—and graves—and coffins 1” “Was it pare and unadulterated sor- jrow, or was it thres parts whisky and fone.part sorrow ?” “She was all sorrow, sir. It comes on I me every time it looks like rain, and I have to weep or bust, sir. It’s awful to be sad, sir.” “Yes, I think so. Next time you feel ut coming on you had better write poetry [to ease your bursting heart. That will Stake the load away when even tears fail.” I “No—no—she won’tgasped the an as he took a paper from his pocket |and placed it on the desk. He had tried it, as follows : -i,Li “SIM SAD XIIOTP. When I am ded and gon Will ennybody caire ? Will they laff as they pass my grave, And forget that I was fare?” Ilia Honor read the first verse, re turned the paper, and meekly said : “Please go away. I’ll tell the officers ot to disturb you any more.” He went. Mr. Hayes and the Senate. In the Senate, when nominations for ollector and postmaster at Mobile, la., were under consideration, Hanni- ial Hamlin, of Maine, called out to the democratic side ofthe Chamber, “Why on’t you take your President, and eon- inn his nominations ?” Mr. Saulsbu- y, of Delarware, retorted, quick as bought, “We want none of your found ings on this side.” Commenting on his, the Washington correspondent of he Boston Herald says: 'No incident that has hitherto co rn rred has more strikingly demonstrat- ' d the absolute lack of any support for. he Administration in the Senate. The ’resident is absolutely without any riends in that body, who are worthy >f the name of friends. The names in >ach case are known to be respectable Dominations, and Spencer’s motives in opposing them are notoriously the worst possible. He is opposed to them oecause some of the scalawags who call -homselves bis friends will not be properly provided for if the President’s lominations are confirmed. Yet, in ipite of this fact, Spencer is able to :ontrol the action of the Senate, for the ;ime being at least, and to prevent the onfirrnation of the President’s nomi- lations. It is understood that Presi- ent Hayes is .considerably distressed iy this persistent opposition in the enate, and that he does not know hat to make of it. He had expected hat the opposition in the Senate would adually die out, but he finds it stead- ly increasing from day to Jay, al- hough he is doing nothing special to invoke it _ On one occasion Charles Dickens was I ipholding the theory that whatever rials and difficulties might stand in a an’s path, there was also something o be thankful for. “Let me in proof hereof,” said Dickens, “relate a story. 7wo men were to be hanged at New- ■ate for murder. The morning arrived; [he hour approached; the bell of St. epulchre’s began to toll; the convicts rere pinioned; the procession was formed ; it advanced to the fatal beam; e ropes were adjusted around the oor men’s necks. There were thou- nds of motley sight seers of both ixes, of all ages, men, women and hildrett in front of the scaffold, when st at that second of time a bull, which as being driven to Smithfield, broke ta rope and -charged the mob nght ,nd left, scattering people everywhere ith its horns. Whereupon one of the ndemnei men turned to his equally nfortunate companion, and quietly bserved, ‘I say, Jack, it’s a good thing e ajn’t in that crowd■ , The Tribune, in view 'of-' the great bopular victory, extends a hearty for giveness even to the hardest-hearted fhylocks, satisfied that in due time ven’tbey will find it to the general enofit that silver has been restored to he money of the country.—Chicago '-ibune. Philadelphia .North Americen. The two cent pieces were abolished five years ago. There are five times as many one cent pieces used as threes. Less than $10,000 of one cent pieces were coined last year. The old-fasliioned silver dollar has not been made for five years. The shipping of silver coins from the mint began about a year ago. No fives or threes (pickle) were coined last year for circulation. Silver is purchased at the rhint to a limited extent. It is mid for in gold. Double eagles are being made for the depositories because they are more salable. Nickel and bronze coins are cnly ma-’e in the United States mint in this city. The Eastern. Middle, and Western States take most of the nickel and bronze coins. No silver is coined in subsidiary coin for depositors. The Government coins for itself alone. In the South, the people are now using one cent pieces and threes and fives very extensively. There is no coinage charged on gold. The only charge is for parting, refining and toughening. Five times as many five cent pieces ;is ones are sent away, and five times as many ones as threes. No silver is exchanged for notes at the mint. This is done by transfers which come through Washington. Two weeks ago nearly $300,000 it) gold dollars were made for tbe sub- Treasury Department of New York. There are lying in the depositories and vaults of the snb-Treasury in this city nearly $300,000 in five cent nickel pieces. Five cent pieces are circulated con siderably in Aew Orleans. Pennies were recently sent to that city, which were the first ever called for. The largest number of early orders for small coins came from the South east. Recent orders are chiefly from this section of tbe country. A large amount of the $38,000,000 in small coins circulated within ih? year were manufactured during the same period, and consequently the coins are new. The Government has issued over $38,000,000 of small silver coins since the redemption of fractional currency began, and the market is fairly glutted with them. The demand for one cent pieces has increased within the last three or four months, and ibe demand for fives has decreased. This is due to the issue of so many dimes. In brisk times the Mint pays out from three to five thousand dollars day for the accommodation of people making change and for shipment through the country. No trade dollars have been made this vear. Several millions were coined in 1877. Their coinage was suspended in December. They were only coined to a limited extent for circulation. Nickel and bronze are kept at par by redeeming them in greenbacks. • They are deposited in the mint in sums of not less than $20, receipted for. and checks sent to the depositor. No silver cent pieces have been made for five years. In fact, they have been abolished, as well as the silver three cent pieces. The nickel threes are still issued, although but few are used. From five to ten thousand dr,liars of eagles, 1 eagles, 1 eagles, and S3 pieces re made every y-ar in order to keep up the history ofthe coin. About $2,- 000 of ones are made annually for the same purpose. The mint shipped over the country in 187G about $500,000 in small coins, consisting of one, three, and five cenP pieces. They went chiefly West and East. In 1877, only 7 about $380,000 in these small coins were shipped. The authorities at the mint can feel the pulse of business by the amount of coin sent in for redemption. If busi ness is falling off the redemption is larger. When it is steady the redemp tion moves along at the rate of about 8500 a day. The greatest demand for silver coins is for the half dollar. The quarter dol lar is the second favorite, and the dime is the third and last in the list. The demand for half dollars is twice as great as for quarters, and five tin es more halves are required than dimes. When business is brisk in the city about seven or eight hundred dollars a day in change is required for nickel and bronze. The railroad companies are demanding more than usual on ac count of the six-cent fares. . This de mand, however, has fallen off some what within the past few days. Although more trade ' dollars were coined from April, 1873, to December, 1S77, than were coined of the dollars of the lathers for the eighty-one years preceding, it does not follow that the trade dqllar is popular. The trade dol lar was intended for the China trade, and nearly all that have been coined have gone to China, Japan, and India. NEW YORK.
