Preparations for the issno of silver coin in place of fractional currency aro in sotivo progress at tho treasury de partment. Secretary Bristow thinks it ■will be neoeesary to sell two hundred and fifty millions of llvo por cent, bonds for the pnrehaso of currency, in additiou to ono hundred millions already sold. This will add materially to tho interest- bearing debt, but it will give tho pnblio something tangible in tho way of money —something that has not been known for fifteen years. Thoro is, however, some doubt as to tho authority of Boo- Totary Bristow to soli those bonds, Ho claims the right to do ho, and is sup ported by Senator Sherman, but there aro other good lawyers who hold that he has no power to sell more five per oont.s than enough to mako up tho amount of tho issno proscribed by law—$500,000,- 000. As thoro are only $07,000,000 of tho amount issuod, thoro may be somo trouble over tho matter.

Mr. GEonoE Hilliard, of Boston, gives ub words of gold in the following extract: “ I confess,” says ho, “ that increasing years brings with them an increasing respect for men who do not succeed in life, ns those words are com monly used. Heaven has been said to be a place for those who do not sueoeed upon earth ; and it is surely true that celestial graces do not best thrive and bloom in the hot blaze of worldly pros perity. Ill success sometimes arises from a superabundance of qualities in thorns elves good—from a conscience too sensitive, a taste too fastidious, a self- forgetfulness too romantic, a modesty too retiring. I do not go so far as to say with a living poet that ‘ the world knows nothing of its greatest men,’ but there are forms of greatness, or at least of excellence, which ’die and make no sign ;’ there are martyrs that miss the palm but hot the stake ; heroes without the laurel, and conquerers without the crown.” —In clearing away tho refuse from the ancient silver mines of Lanrinm, in Greece, a large number of seeds were found unknown to modern science, but described in the writings of Pliny.

Gustave Dork.—Dore, tho world-fa mous artist, whoso brush and pencil have realized for him a magnifleant for tune, lives very simply in a retired street of Paris, with a studio of one story occupied entirely as his artist workshop, but furnished with a plain ness in striking oontraat with the Pom peian magnifioenco displayed in the London residence of his rival, Alma Tadoma.

A judge in a certain county in Now York has recently ronderod a dooision that commends itself to the notice of mutch-making mammas and matrimo nial speculators of both sexes. A man applied for a divorce from his wifo on tlio gronud that ho had been deceived into tho belief that she was a healthy woman, and not the vory fragile and neuralgic creature that she wuh. It was proven that tho reluctant bachelor, for whom single life had its blessing which ho was loth to risk upon matrimonial venture, hod been cajoled into tho belief by tbo friends of tho young lady that slie was a paragon of virtues and, physi cally, a model of a Greek Venus. When tho doctor’s bill bogan to pour in upon the husband, ho saw that ho had made a mistake, and he implored tho oourt to grant him u dissolution of tho connubial knot. The bencu sympathized with the applicant for a divorce, but instead of granting a formal decree of complete sepration declared that the marriage wus no marriugo at all, that as murringo is a civil contract under tho law, fraud in either party mode the covenant of no effect. The husband was, therefore, released absolutely, and went his way seeking anothor mate. Now, while u decision of this Bort is no unusual thing, its point in this instance, is Capt. Jinnsby would obsorve, “lies in tho application on it.” It is a warning to both sexes that everything is not fair in the race for a husband or info. If a woman beforo marriage begnilos a man iuto the belief that her cheeks are flushed with mounting huos of health, when the color is artificial; that her teeth are her own, when they are hers only by purchase ; that her hair was not once the crowning glory of another beyond his kon. rfis curiosity was fully exoitod, for ho felt that ho lmd struck a bonanza of somo kind; perhaps tho gravoyard of some pro-Ad- arnio giants.

Among those ho now has aro many of the prominent ones, which will give an idea of tho sizo of tho animal to whioh thoy bolongod. The shouldorblado, whioh appears us perfect ns if it oamo from tho nuimal yesterday, is throe and a half, feot long by threo feet wido, and when turned up presents a snrfaoo largo enough for an or.linary-sizod family to flino on. Tlio lower bono of the hind leg, join ing tho knoo with tho foot, called by naturalists tlio tibia, is ab^ut thirty three inches long, about thirty-two inches around its iurgofct cud, and is heavy enough to load an ordinary man. Tho parts of the backbone forming the joints are from ton to twelve inches across ; and one bono alone, belonging to the foot, is twenty«oight inches around. All tho other bones aro of like tromendous proportions. When tlio bones forming the pelvis aroli nro placed in position they form niu>pouing from two and ono-half to three feot high, which would easily admit tho passugo of a barrel. Tho bones aro all in a mag nificent stato of preservation. Tho sockets in some of them are large onoiigh for a wash bowl, and the small est portiou of the collection is sufficient to convoy an idea of tho grest size of tlio animal. It would bo difficult just oportions, but a comparison with bones fouud in otlior places will enable us to judge. Iho ROYALTY RIDES BY. /Ym-AVImi'm of fiWtora/V. Reigning i’umi/v.

Tho travelers wore obliged to pour rum down their throats so as not to tduoh tho edgo of tho motal oups, which would havo been as dangerous as if thoy lmd boon red hot; lint tho rum hall lost its strength aud liquidity, and fiat and ns thick as oil. ‘ s impossible to smoko oithor ci gars or tobuooo in-short pipos, for vory soon nothing but apieooof ioo remained the mouth. Tho motal of tho instruments was just like rod hot irou to tho touch, as wore some lookots, whioh somo of tho travel- ors, romantically but imprudently, con tinued to wear next tho skin. M. Payor says that so groat an amount cold parnlyzes tho will, and that, uu- dor its influence, men, from tho nnstoad- Incss of thoir gait, thoir stommoriug talk, and tho slowness of thoir moutai operations, Boom ns if thoy wore intoxi cated. Another effect of cold is a tormenting thirst, whioh is duo to tho evaporation of tho moisture of tho body. It is unwholosomo to use snow tc quonoli tho thiyst; it brings on infiam- motion of tho throat, palate, and tonguo. Bosidos, enough can novor bo taken to quench tho thirst, ns a tomporatnro of 85 j dog. to 58 dog. bolow zero Full, makes it taste like molten motal. Bnow enters in tho north arc considorod as loblo and effeminate, in tho same way is an opium outer in tho oast. Tho group of trnvolors who travorsod tho snow Holds woro surrounded by thick vapors formod by tho omnuatiouB from thoir bodies, which beoamo con densed, notwithstanding tlio furs in whioh tho trr.volors woro enveloped. Thoso vapors foil to tho ground, with a slight noise, frozen into tho form of small crystals, and rendered tho atmos phere tliiok, imponotrublo, and dark. Notwithstanding tho humidity of tho air, a disugrooablo sensation of dryness was folt. Bound diffused itsolf to a vory long dis tance, au ordinary conversation oould bo hoard ai a hundred paoos off, whilo the roport of guns from tho tops of high mountains oould scarooly bo hoard. M. Puyor explains this phouomonon by tho largo quantity of moisture in tho ; rotio atmosphoro. M«at oould loo chopped, and moroury used in tho shape of balls. Both smell and lasto become groatlv enfeebled in those latitudes ; _ strength gives way under tho paralyzing infill once of tho oold ; tho oyes involuntarily oloso and beoomo frozen. Whou locomotion stops, tho solo of tho foot becomes insonsiblo, It is somowhut curious that tlio beard does froezo ; but this is explained from tho air expired, falling, boing immedi ately transformed into snow. Tho cold causes dark beards to become lightor ; tho secretions of tho oyes and nose at ways increases, whilo tho formation of tho perspiration altogether ceases. Tho only possible protection against tho oold is to bo vory warmly clothed, and to endeavor as much as possible to prevent tbo condensation of tho atmos phere, whilo tho much vauuted plans of anointing and blackening tho body aro pronounced to havo no real vuluo. “ Shooting Niagara.” Tho trustees of Harvard rocontly undertook to confer on the redoubtable Thos.
