BBS Wm ii§ 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. / v — Many of the worm medicines and vermifuges sold by druggists irritate the stomach of a little child.

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; Austria-Hungary, 46,951,700 acres; Sweedeu, 42,000,000 acres; France, 22,240,000 acres; Spain, 19,769,000 meres; Italy, 9,884,570 acres, and 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. Newspapers. Eecliange. The newspapers have made pres idents and killed poets, made States out of territories, states men out of paupers and bustles that loom into the past on straight back beauties. It has furnished genius with the sandpaper of crit icism; made the world get up every morning for roll call; given the pulpit lungs of iron and voice of thunder, and furnishes a soft- foundation for. a new carpet. It has curtailed the power of kings; embellished rings and located county seats. It has educated the homeless, robbed the philosopher of his reason, and even criticised Indian agents, butit eannpt be run to suit everybody and the paper that adopts that course will have a rough road to 'travel.
