AN HONESJ SALE.
A day or tiro ago a motherly-look
ing woman of 45 entered a Wood-
yard avenao clothing atore, baring a
man’s linen duster ou her arm, and
when approached by a salesman sbo
said:
“Some one in hero sold this duster
to iny son yesterday.”
“Yes maam, I sold it myself,” re
plied tho clerk, as lie looked at the
garment.
“ Did yon tell my sou that this
,luster could be worn either to a pic
nic, funeral, bridul party or quarter
ly mooting?"
“I did, madam, and ao it can.”
“Did_you tall biin it made a good
fly-blanket when not otherwise need
ed?"
1 did.
‘That it could be usdd os n boat
sail, a strotclicr, a straw-bed and
bod-spread?"
"Yes, ma’am, I did.”
"And that many pcoplo used tbom
table corers, and that they would
last for years and then make excel
lent stuff for a rag carpet ?’’
“I did.”
“And yon only charged him a dol
lar ?"
"Only a dollar, ’ni'iira."
“Well, when John came homo Inst
night and brought tho duster, and
told mu nil yon said, I mndo up my
mind that lio must lmvc bean drunk,
and I was a Icotlo afraid bo atole tbe
gnrmcnt. I am glad it’s all right.”
It certainly is all right, inn'nin,
anil since ho wa* here yesterday wo
bavo discovered that tho duster is a
grant conductor of sound, a prevent
ive of sunstroke, and that no man
with one on bis back over dropped
dead ot heart dineaso."
Land bavo ns,” sho gasped, as she
-waited for the bnndlo, “but who
knows that they won't tix 'em so 'tore
long that they’ll rniiie a mortgngo off
the farm?"
A preacher not far from Boston
ouco found himself in n sad dilerao.—
Ha stopped in his sormou and said:
“If I speak softly tlioso of you in the
rear cannot hear me; if I speak lomt,
I shall certainly wake up those who l’^" 1 weighing is done thot they
aro close to mo.”
A Msino man lies invented n scare
crow, to be placed in corn-fields, which
oonsists of n box seven feet long and
two feet square, with horizontal bar
rels arrange 1 inside. The barrels are
to be loaded with powder, aud st reg-
from the Treasury Department at
Washington to superintend the weigh
iug of the gold bullion stored at tho
assay oflicu in WuU street, preparato
ry to its transfer to tho mint at I'bila-
ilelphia, aud tho final settlement of
tho accounts of the oflicc with the
Treasurer for tho fiscal year ending
with June 30, arrived last Monday.—
Since that day tho work of tho officers
and men in tho offico has been moro
laborious and responsible than ever
before known in tbe history of the of
fice. Tho accumulated gold to bo ac
counted for to tho last ounce is no less
than $66,000,000, for which one man
the superintendent, Thomas C. Ac
ton—is held responsible. Tho exami
ners were It. E. Preston, of tho bu
reau of tho mint, Charles J. Tyrol,, of
tho First Auditor's office at Washing
ton, and Thomas Donaldson, of Phil
adelphia. Mr. Preston roturnod to
Washington last Thursday, and tho
other examiner* will bo joined to
morrow probably by tbo Director of
tbo Bureau of the Mint, Mr. Bncbard.
“Tbo first ibing dono by tbe exam
iner*," snid the chief clerk, Mr. J. M.
Floyd, to a reporter yesterday, “was
taking the iuvoico prepared here
showing tho details and nggrognto of
tho gold thut wo still have on hand
from tho receipts in European and
other foreign coin since the last set
tlement. The amount is about, $55,-
000,000, tlmngb our receipts during
tho period from August 2, 1880, to
May 1, 1881, bavo reached about $04,-
000,000. Of this sum $0,400,000 was
in our own coin, and this, not need
ing to ha melted dow n, did not remain
here. The ?S7,000,000 in for
coin consisted mainly of French 20-
frniic piocea, (Jcrrnan 20-mark pieces,
Jnpancso vens and ltussian half-impe
rials. Straugo to say, although near
ly tho cutiro receipts were on British
uceonnt, probably representing foreign
transactions made by English mer
chants and manufacturers, wo received
nut n single British coin.”
Mr. Floyd showed the rcjiortor
through the melting uml assaying
rooms, which aro on tho ground on
uither side of the central passago-wny
in tho main bnilding beyond tbo court
yard. On tbo right, ns ono goes back
through tlie ball is tlio largo room in
which the gold coin is melted down,
mid occupying tho Sonlhoust corner
is the impregnable vault, about twon
ty feet square, in which the enormous
treasure is kept. At the present time
tbe manufacturing operations
confined to melting silver coins nnd
bricks nud fluxiug tbo dirt from for
mer meltings to get from it the scraps
of precious metal. Until tlio settle
ment now reaching tbo linnl summing
up is completed, no deposits of coiu
will bo received. The weighing is
lieing done in the large melting room
noar tbe vault, nnd hero weto found
yesterday tbo su|H>rintcudent, Mr. Ac
ton, the two cxninincre, of whom Mr.
Donaldson was managing the scales
aud Mr. Tyron noting the results,
nud four men, one of them a negro,
were haudling the heavy gold. Thu
brass scales, which are nbont four feet
bigb, were made by Henry Fii'cnmer
of Philadelphia, and the weight on
either side and at the centre rests up
on knife edges of a sharpness that
w-ill have worn so much when tho
last day of tho fiscal year, which is
June 30th. The gold, which is in bars
■lie! about six indies long, an itieh thick
I and two ami a halt inches uruic, ia
| stored in common open boxes, with
appointed | alumt. the rapacity of a hod. Ten
will never he used again. The bal-
ulur intervals, exploded by menus of nernst which
clock work within the bos
that tlio ono-hundredth part of an
ounco added to either side licars it
dowu promptly. Tlio weights used
are of a composition of metals looking
like brass. They are shaped like
largo tomato - eons, with seoopt-d out
are straight inin-
• h fivi hundred
■ ilea, and tin-
bars arc kept in a box, and tbo hand
track in which tbo gold is hanlod
from tho vault to tho scales will hold
twenty boxes. Each bar is worth $5,-
000, each boxful about $50,000, each
truck load about $1,000,000. Tbo re
porter when shown iuto tbo vault yes
terday was surroundad by shelves
piled up with gold and silver worth
about $00,000,000.
“ My goodness gracious 1" exclaim
cd an old goullomnn who was present,
“I never expected to see so ranch
money I I thought I was pretty well
off, but my house nnd lot mcltod down
wouldn't make ono of tlioso pigmy
bars, nud my wholo' country town if
put iuto comlensod -form could bo
wheeled away in that littlo wngon.—
I'm sorry I came here, bccauso it
makes mo feel so insignificant. Why,
thcro nre only two men in this conn
try who wouldn't fcol poor in thi*
room, nnd I doubt whotber Vander
bilt could buy its contents with overy
dollar ho could rake nnd scrape with
in twenty days.”
Tlio gentleman stnmd at the men
as they caroloss|| lifted another mil
lion into truck. “Now sc- them 1" be
snid; "tlioy would shovel it in like
coal if it wnsn’t too lienvy. Sco how
hey (icrspiro 1 It isn't often tlint it
takes millions of dollars to make a
drop of perspirntion start, and yet it
takes almost millions nf those very
drops to earn a dollar. Jnst estimate,
if yon can, the value of a dollar earned
by the sweat of ouo's brow! Those
men get shout $1 a day, I guess, for
being honest with ton millions. But
they have nunc ol tbo worry nnd care
ot managing this cnormons wealth.—
Still, it seems to me that it umst be a
risky business to allow Toni, pick and
Harry to bnndlo all tbia gold. Wbat’a
to prevent ono of them from clipping
a bur into bis pocket? I'll oak Mr.
Acton about this." Tbo old gentle
man followed tho track out to tbo
scene of tho woigbing.
"Mr. Acton," bo asked, "aro yon
nut trembling while this thing is go
ing on?"
"Why?" tbo superintendent asked.
“Because—jnst think liuw ensy it
would bo for n bar or even n box to
disappear."
"Ah, no danger,” waa tho rcapousc.
"Don't you sco wo are all hero togeth
er—everybody with bis eyes open;
they can't lie shut on all tboae mil
lions. But tlicro is a better security
still—the entire honesty, tried nud
tested in every way for days, moiitba
ami many years of every man w ho
touches nu ounce of gold in tbia place.
Never a wink of sleep bavo I Inst
through distrust of our pcoplo here.
It s a great comfort to mo, fornftcrnll
my responsibility is mountains high-”
"Do you never fear that thero may
lmvo been some mistake nt some
point in lmudling the gold—Hint
when it comes to the liunl adding tip
there nmy lie a discrepancy between
the receipts and the stock to deliver ?"
Nut at all. nut at all. Two and

hired an ox cart yesterday, and rodo
out to report tbo closing
The day waa delightfully warm, and
a pleasnnt breezo animated tbo slon-
dor vegetation along tho way. The.
snow having melted, tbe reporter left
bis overcoat nnd did not feel tho noed
of it daring tho day. Arriving at the
ncadomy, bo was escorted to a seat in
tho front row, and Professor Sqniba,
tho fat and jolly lioad of tbo institu
tion, ordered the class in rorisod ge
ography to como to tnw. Tho move
ment was execacod in fine order, and
tho close was ready for business.—
Singling out a brigbt-oyed boy, about
tbo centro of tbe class, tho Profossor
began tbo examination.
" What is tho capital of Georgia ?"
“ Atlanta.”
“Next? - '
" The Gate City.”
" Correct, go ap. How is it
bonndod ?"
“ Bonndod on the north by Teones-
soo, on tho South by Florida, on tbo
west by Alabama nnd on tho cast by
South Carolina and tho Atlantio
oconn.”
" What is tho character of tho poo-
pie ?”
" Tboy bavo no cbnractor.”
“What in tho popnlntion of tho
city ?"
"Fiftoon hundred thousand."
“Give ns a description of tho city.”
" Tho Gate City ia noted ohiefly for
its railroads. Evory railroad in tbo
United States leads ont of Atlanta and
iuto it. It has a canal that rails ap
bill from tbo Chattahoochee, nud n
custom house as largo'its St. l’otersin
Borne It is noted for its water,
which annually deposits earth for hun
dreds of bnilding lots shoot tbo city.
Ships about to sail have their wind
expressed to them from tbo Gate
City. It never gets hot there, nor
cold. The only thing that prevents
oranges nnd bananas growing thcro is
tho want of room. In this city evory
man lives off bis neighbor except tbo
last man, who is supported out of tbe
treasury."
" There ia only ono company in tbo
Gate City—tbe Gnte City Guards.—
They tired the first gun in tbo war,
went iuto Virginia first and came
bauk Inst. Foreigners have pro
nounced them tbe old guard of Napo
leon in disgniae."
" Entirely correct." murmured tbo
Profeaaor. " Now," to tbo nest,
"whoro is Augnsta ?"
“Augusta is situated upon the Au
gusta canal."
“ How is Augusta governed ?"
" The government is duiqHitic. Wm.
Moore and 1’luns Stovall owu tho city
nml run tlio canal.”
" Give mo some facta concerning
Augusta."
" Tho city was discovered by Co-
Iambus when only knee-high, and re
built. It consists onlirely of Green
street, a canal nnd the milts. It is sit
uated on tho Savaunnh river just op
posite Hamburg, noted for its trestle
works, fiuo lace and river odgings."
" Is that nil ?’’
" Tlint—that—that is all."
Tbe Profeaaor reflected a moment
and nodded bis bead. Then turning
to Uio next stndont, continued:
Where is Macon ?"
Macon is situated on tbo Ocmnl-
geo river in Bibb county. ”
“ What about it ?"
" It is a city of twenty odd thousand
innabitnnts. They are energetic, pro
gressive |ieoplc, sml now bavo the
-ity on a boom. No city in tire South
has made tho progress Macon baa in
first-class fanerals, beaded by corpses
wrapped in wet blankets."
“Bally for yon,” roaredihe fat Pro
fessor, bringing his fist down apou
the tablo with a foroo that shot a
stream of ink fiom tho stand to tho
ceiling, nnd frocklod tbo face of a boy
who was shooting spitbolls np thcro.
Bully for you. But is that all ?"
11 No, air,” murmured tho timid boy,
digging bis little fingor nervously in
bis pant’s scams, and eyeing tbo re
porter sidoways aa bo bong down bis
bead- -" No, air. Tho livest paper in

Tbo reporter exclaimod “Oh, my! ”
in an andible tone, blnsbod to tho
