“Money Goes.”

The old saying that “money goes,” was illustrated last "week, says a St. Louis paper. A customer tendered a S2O bill. The tradesman had it changed by a neighbor, who, being in a hurry, gave a pocket-piece of $lO in gold "of of the issue of 1861, which he prized highly and did not want to part with. He went to the tradesman to whom he had given the valued coin, and the latter went out and hunted up the customer to whom he had given it. He had bought some cigars at a neighboring store and had given the gold piece in payment. «Upon going to the cigar store it was found that the proprietor had transferred the coin to a saloonkeeper near by, and, at that place, it was found that the saloon-keeper had, used it in liquidating his brewery bill. The next day a neighbor went to the brewery and found that the cashier of that institution had just parted with the coveted piece of money to a dissatisfied employe. The individual was at last located in a neighboring saloon amj the coin recovered.
