“ " What in the origin of the sign 1 8’
for the American dollar?” was the ijtie -
tion projiounded at a London dinner not
long ago. The American Consul did not
know, neither did any one else. An ex
tensive research resulted in this theory :
The American dollar is taken from the
Hjsiuish dollar, and tlio sign is to lie
found, ol course, in the associations of
the Spanish dollar. On the reverse side
of a Spanish dollar is a representation of
the Pillars of lb irculos, and round each
pillar is a scroll with the inscription,
“ /Vim ultra." This device in the course
of time has degenerated into the sign
which stands at present for the Ameri
can ns well as Spanish dollars—Tim
scroll round tlio pillars represents the
two Morjiont* sent by Juno to destroy
Hercules in his eriulfe.
This is the origin of the phrase, “I
acknowledge the corn In IH2H Mr.
Stewart, a member of Congress, said iu
a speech that Ohio, Kentucky, and Indi
ans sent their haystacks, cornfield*. and
(odder to New York mid Philadelphia for
sale. Mr. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, called
him to order, declaring that those States
did not send haystacks or cornfields to
New York for sale. “ Well, what do you
send?" asked Stewart. “Why, horses,
mules, cuttle, and hogs.” “ Well, what
makes your horses, mules, cattle, and
hogs ? Yuii feed SIOO worth of hay to a
horse. Yon just animate and get noon
the top of your haystack and ride oil to
market. How is it with your cattle?
You make one of them carry SSO worth
of hay or grass to the Eastern market,
llow much corn does it take at 0!) cents
a bushel to fatten a hog?” “Why,
thirty bushels.” “Then you put thirty
bushels into the ahai>e of n hog and
make it walk off to the Eastern market.”
'Then Mr. Wiokliffc jumped up anil said,
" Mr. SjHsakor, 1 acknowledge tho corn."

This \ shall do on the 15th, ltith and

Mountains in flic Ocean.
Geology teaches that the continents
of our world were once beneath the
oooiui. It is natural, therefore, to sup
pose that there are inequalities ill the
bottom of the ocean, like those on the
land.
The recent deep seii-soundiugs oonllrm
this opinion, and reveal mountains and
hills, valleys and tablelands. The great
est depth reached in sounding is 27,000
foot, which exceeds the height of the
loftiest mountain in the Himalayas.
Some of the mountains in the sen
are steelier aud more abrupt than any on
the land. In the liritish Clniuuel the
depth changes within ton miles from 600
feet to 12,000 feet, and it iB very com
mon, within a few miles of the coast of
continents and islands, for the depth to
change suddenly from a few hundred
feet to many thousands. Iu other eases,
as in a large part of the bed of the At
lantic between Europe and the United
States, there are plateaus extending
hundreds of miles with very slight undu
lations. We shall soon know the shape
of the ocean floor almost us well us the
earth’s surface.

Saddle-Horses on the Farm.
Tko memory of man extend* to the
day when the Isjys on the farm were
proud to rido a tine young horse to
church or to sec tho girls. They took
pride in the oolte, and taught them to
move freely under tin Huddle, and above
ail, when a colt was broken he was taught
to wulk.
Now tho boys must have a flue buggy
and harness, und the colt must show his
style and speed all tho time.
Tlio Isjy is in too great a hurry to allow
the colt to walk. The colt, buggy aud
boy are soon a used-up sot by fast
driving.
The whole business of buggy-riding
by farmers’ hoys is expensive, extrava
gant and demoralizing. Not ono far
mer in ten can afford such a turnout for
tho lad.
Many of them bny a buggy and let it
stand hi the sun and storm. They are
too poor to lmvo a house for vehicles.
Hucn men cannot afford the luxury of a
buggy.
If we could return to the fashion of
riding on horseback, wo would save mill
ions to the farmers, and the hoys anil
girls would develop better forms and
have better health.
Any lazy lout can ride in a buggy, hut
to be a graceful rider on horseback ono
mnst have some energy and get up in his
nature. There is life and health in riding
on horseback.
The whole system feels the invigorat
ing effect of it. The rider and the horse
catch tho fire of sympathy and excite
ment in the run or fust paces, and every
nerve and muscle of the body is brought
in healthful, invigorating play.
Tho mania for trotting horses has been
felt on every farm in tho land. The
country is full of road horses, thut sums
man or hoy loves to pull the string on.
They are usually poor suildlo-horses, slow
walkers, and rough.
Wo need a reform. The place to begin
is iu breeding a class of horses of good
size, style and action, that can move
freely in more than one gait.
Tho English market is open for such
horses. The well-knit horse of good
style and action, suitable for tho hunter
or curriuge, will bring better prices than
our average horse. —Nashville Arncr

Heart Disease.
Whon mi individual is reported to
have died of “ disease of the heart,” we
are in the habit of regarding it as an in
evitable event, us Homotiling which
could not have been foreseen or pre
vented, and it Ik too much the habit, wlieu
persons suddenly full down dead, to re
port tlie “heat” iih the cause; this si
icuccH all inquiry mid investigation, und
saves the trouble and inconvenience of a
repulsive “post-mortem.” A truer rt
|Hirt would have a tendency to save
many lives, it is through a report of
“disease of the heart” that many uti
opium -enter is let off into the grave,
which covers at once his folly und his
crime; the brandy-drinker, too, quietly
slides round tho corner thus, and is
heard of no more; in short, this “lo
|s>rl” of “disease of the heart” is tlie
mantle of charity which the politic
Duroner and the sympathetic physician
throw around the graves of “ genteel
people.”
At a scientific congress at Strasbourg
it wus reported tlmt of sixty-six persons
who had suddenly died an immediate
and faithful post-mortem showed tlmt
only two persons lmd any heart affection
whatever one sudden death only, in
thirty-three, from disease of the heart.
Niue out of tho sixty-six died of apoplexy
-ono out of every seven; while forty-six
-more than two out of three—died of
lung affections, half of them of “con
gestion of the lungs,” that is, the lungs
were so full of blood they could not
work; there was not room for air enough
to get in to support life. It is then of
considerable practical interest to know
some of tlio common, every-day causes
of this “congestion of the lungs,” a dis
ease which, the figures above being true,
kills three times as many persons at short
warning as apoplexy und heart disease
together. Cold feet; tight shoes; tight
clothing; oostivo bowels; sitting still until
chilled throughafter having been warmed
iqi by labor or a long, hasty walk; going
too suddenly from a dose, nested room,
us a lounger, or listener, or speaker,
while the body is weakened by continued
application, or abstinence, or heated by
tlie effort of u long address; those are
t he fruitful onuses of sudden dentil hi the
form of “congestion of tho lungs,” but
which, being falsely reported as “dis
ease of the heart,” and regarded as an
inevitable event, throws people off their
guard, instead ol pointing them plainly
to the true causes, all of which are avoid
able, and very easily so, as a general
rule, when the mind Inis been once in
telligently drawn to the subject.— JJall's
Journal of Jit tilth.
Juvenile Smokers.
A British physician, observing the
large number of boys under 15 yours of
age on the streets with cigars ana pipes
in their months, was prompted to exam
ine tlio breath of t his class of smokers,
tuid for that purpose selected thirty
eight boys between the ages of !> and 15.
In twenty-two of these oases lie found
various disorders of the oiroulation and
digestion, palpitation of the heart and
more or less marked taste for strong
drink. In twelve there was frequent
bleeding of the nose, aud twelve had
slight ulceration off ile mouth caused by
tobacco. The doctor treated them for
their ailments, but with little effect un
til the habit of smoking was discon
tinued, w hen breath and strength were
Si ton restored. The effect of tobacco iD
creating a taste for strong drink is uh
qucstionably very great If the testi
mony of some tobacco users and medical
men is of any weight, one of the most
radical methods of keeping the young
from being led to intemperate drinking
is to deny them tobacco. —The Sanita

he would make a lunch out of the writer.

us our choice between a retraction and
having our carcass shot all full of lmllet

current in the colony. Tho soutonco
was that, he was to pay a fine of £4O

“ A Most Respectable Jury."
The law provides for an ideal jury,
that is, ono which is not prejmUced fur
or against the prisoner. Hut iu prac
tice it is difficult to secure twelve men
of “cold neutrality.” Ail men are
more or less influenced by unconscious
prejudices, such as arise from birth,
education, social position, or habits of
life,
Lawyers know the power which sym
pathy has over the judgment of men.
In defending criminals, they not infre
quently finesse to secure a jury whose
unconscious sympathies will Ito in favor
of the prisoner. A thief’s counsel
would not be grieved ii lie believed
ShakHpearo’s words true of those trying
his client:
The Jury, pausing on tho prlaonor’s Ufo,
May In tho sworn twelve have a thief or two
Guiltier than htm they try.
An anecdote of a distinguished lawyer
of Kentucky, the late John J. Critten
den, sets forth this trick of advocacy.
He hail been retained to defend a man
indicted for biting off anotlior man’s ear
in a fight. The trial came off’ before
Judge Broadnax, a stately, high-toned
gentleman, who dressed in short trous
ers, silk stockings and top-hoots. The
Judge hated rowdyism, and, though a
warm admirer of Mr. Crittenden, often
chided him for taking foes of low rascals
who habitually engaged in brawls.
After much sparring between the court
and State’s Attorney und the prisoner’s
counsel, eleven jurymen wire obtained.
Many respectable men had been reject
ed by Mr. Crittenden, a fact which bail
exasperated the Judge. An ill-looking
fellow, with a tattered straw hat, a piece
of liis nose tom off, and a bruised face,
was brought up to be sworn in as the
twelfth juryman.
Mr. Crittenden asked him a few ques
tions, and then coolly said :
“ Well, Judge, rather than bo the
cause of any more delay, I’ll take tliis
man.”
. “I knew it!” exclaimed the angry
Judge, springing to his feet. “ Yes, I
knew it! Tho moment I laid eyes on
the fellow, I knew you would accept
him 1 Did any living man,” he con
tinued, looking contemptuously at the
jury-box, “ever see such a jury be
fore?”
“ Why, your Honor,” quietly replied
Mr. Crittenden, “I pronounce this a
most respectable jury.”
Of course, after the Judge’s speech,
the prisoner’s ease was decided. Tlio
jury went through the formality of a
trial, and brought in a verdict—" Not
guilty.” Their prejudices and their ir
ritation, excited by the Judge's con
tempt, were too active to;' them to ren
der a verdict according to law and evi
dence.

A Grave Joke.
In the Jew of Dickens, Scott and
Sliakspeare, known respectively ns
Messrs. Fugin, Isaac and Shylock, may
perhaps be found a national ideal of the
manhood and generosity of the olden
time. Such generosity, indeed, is not
uncommon at the present day. In a
turbid Htream which flows through a
village not a thousand miles from Mil
waukee a human “ floater” was recently
found. A Hebrew gentleman happen
ing to pass by while the body was being
taken from the water thought that he
recognized the lineaments of a brother
Israelite, and, being in a generous frame
of miml, he offered to assume all of the
expenses of a decent burial, which
amounted to about S4O. The interment
was properly made, and about a week or
two afterward the Jew found out that he
had paid to bury an Irishman. Then
he sued the undertaker to get back his
S4O, but the jury stood four to two
against him, and he now mourns, as did
Rachel, refusing to be comforted. It’s
a very grave joke indeed on the Jew,
this piiying for the burial of an unfort
unate irishman. —Milwaukee Nevis.
