Qneer Facts About Money.
nglon Critic.
peonle know how
i this country of
: people call “money,” how
l gold and silver coin, and
uch in greenbacks and other
_ aper currency bearing the stamp
of the United States Government?
Inquiry at the Treas-
Department discovers the fact
that there is, all told, just a little
over two billions, or between $30
and $10 apiece for every man, wo
man and child in theUnited Statef.
Of this a little over one-half is in
gold and silver coin, and a little
less than one-half in paper of va
rious kinds. Of the metal money
about two-thirds are in gold and
one-third in silver. Of the paper
money about one-third is in U. S.
notes or greenbacks, one-fourth in
silver certificates, one-sixth in gold
certificates, one fifth in national
bank notes, and the remainder in
various denominations.
But the S2,000;000,000 of United
States currency are not in circula
tion among the people. More than
one-third ; ie . locked up in the
Treasury building, and that is the
normal state of things. One-half
of all the gold and three-fourths
of all the silver is locked up in the
Treasury. The circulating medi
um in use among the people is
three-fourths paper,, the largest
volume being in greenbacks, with
silver certificates next, then' na
tional bank notes, then gold' cer
tificates. But we would not be do
ing gold justice if we did not say
that there was more gold in circu
lation than any one kind of jpaper.
What a disproportion between
the amount of wealth and the
amount of money in the United
States! All the money in the coun
try, including what is locked up in
the Treasury, would not be suffi
cient to' buy the real estate and the
personal property iu the city of
Washington.
The largest greenback extant is
$10,000, and there is only one such
note in existence. Of $5,000 notes
there are seven; and when you
come down to the ordinary every
day $1,000 note' “there’s millions
in it.”
An order has been issued at the
press censor’s department in St.
Petersburg that no telegrams can
be either received or sent by the
papers between six o’clock in the
evening and 8 o’clock in the morn
ing. The only reason is that the
officials of the bureau object to re
main on duty at night time.

In the year 1706 the average
weight of fatted steers in the Lon
don and Liverpool markets was but
. 310 pounds! This, too,at the average
of 5 years. In 1755 this average
weight was increased to 482 pounds.
In' 1830 the weight was 6*50 pounds,
more than double that of 1706.
The average weight of the fatted
steers to-day is four times what it
was in 1706, only 184 years ago.
The forests of Europe, accord
ing to a late report; cover the fol
lowing areas: Germany, 34,506,000
acres; Bussia, 494,228,600 acres;

Sweedeu, 42,000,000 acres; France,
22,240,000 acres; Spain, 19,769,000

England, 2,471,000 acres.
Surprising Testimony.
Many-physicians who have ex
amined into the merits of B. B.B.
{Botanic Blood Balm), have been
confronted with testimony which
they deemed surprising, and thus
being convinced of its wonderful
■efficacy, have not failed to pre
scribe it in their practice as occa
sion required.
H. L. Cassidy, Kennesaw, Ga.,
writes: “For two years my wife
was a great sufferer. Skillful phy-
siciaaa did her no good. Her
mouth was one solid, ulcer, her
body was broken out in sores, and
she lost a beautiful head of hair.
Three bottles of B. B. B. cured her
(completely, incredible as it may
sound, and she is now the mother
of a three months old baby clear
from any scrofulous taint.”
A. H. Morris, Pine Bluff, .Ark.,,
writes: “Hot Springs and several
doctors failed to cure me of several
Good Work lor Georgia.
Greensboro Herald-Journal.
The first convention of Northern
born citizens resident in Georgia
was held at Douglasville last week
and its results were most flattering.
The convention was a represen
tative body of men, embracing
gentlemen who stand high in then-
various communities and who en- considers-duelling in the army not
joy the continence and esteem, not
only of the citizens of Georgia
among whom they-at present re
side, but the confidence ol the bus
iness and agricultural people of
those Northern States in which
they were reared. It was a har
monious convention and among all
the speeches made and resolutions
introduced and odopted there was
a strong; sentiment showing that
Georgia has no truer ol- more
earnest citizens than these adopted
children.
There can be no doubt that the
work of this convention will, result
in inestimable good.to the State of
Georgia and to the entire South.
It was conducted uppn a higher
plane than mere partizanship, and
its deliberations were,, character
ized by the patriotic desire to
bring about the warmest feelings
between the people of Georgia and
the citizens of Northern States.
There was a sincerity and an earn
estness about, the meeting which
must impress all with the truths
that were uttered in the - speeches
and the resolutions.
It was also a business conven
tion, and a permanent organization
was*perfected, the objects of which
are to lay before the North and
West the advantages of our State;
the opportunities for capital and
reliable labor. which abound in
Georgia; and the systematic in
ducement of immigration and cap
ital.
It is not possible to estimate the
great good which must come to
our State from the labors of the
Northern convention. Onr citi
zens shoiild give them every en
couragement in their labors, for
-the growth anff continued prosper
ity of Georgia depends largely np-
on this fact. We believe that this
convention will make an era of
better feeling; of redoubled efforts;
of enlarged prosperity in which all
citizens of our great State will
shqre.
