One on the Clergyman.

A clergyman of the Baptist persuasion, holding forth in a Texas town, recently commenced his sermon, thusly: “My dear friends, I was to talk to you about the infinite power of the Almighty. He created a mighty ocean—and he created a people. He created the solar system—and he created the world —and he created a grain of. sand. My friends, he created me! and he created —a daisy!” The total amount of gold coined at our mints from 1793 to 1892 was $1,582,000.000; of silver, during the same period, there have been $657,000,000; and of subsidiary coinage of all denominations, $24,000,000.
