TRIAL OP THE PYX. Testing the Parity of England's Cola. On Thursday, at Goldsmith's Hall, took place, in conformity to warrants of the Lords of the Treasury, the annual testing, known as the Trial of the Pyx, of the national coinage executed by the Koyal Mint during the past year ending June 30. At the first blush the proceedings seem to have been of aver)'simple and business-like nature. A jury of experts having been impauneled.thegold was tirst subjected to the customary ordeals. The aggregate of gpld minted last year was not large, being less than £1,800,000, a snm considerably below the usual average; but, as a general withdrawal of light gold can not much longer be retarded, the establishment on Tower Hill has a heavy task to perform. It is believed by the authorities that £100,000,000 in gold supposed to be in circulation in this country is deficient in weight -to the extent of five tops and a half, representing half a million of money. Thi% deficiency is duo to legitimate wear; and tear. Although, for obvious reasons, the mint, has been holding its hand to far as the manufa lure of sovereigns and half sovereigns is concerned, great activity has been shown in the c linage of silver, moneys of that metal to the amount of more than a million sterling having been stamped. The total number of imperial coins struck during the twelve months was nearly 3t>,50o,O00. Some 1.8tX> sovereigns aud 700 halfsovereigns, and about £400 worth =®f silver of all denominations, were placed in the Pyx last year; and on the box being opened on the 10th instant the jnry selected a few gold and silver coins for assay. Each coin had to be of legal-tender weight, and the coins had next to be melted into ingots for comparison with the pure metal of the standard trial plates produced bv the officer of tie Board of Trade, to discover if they were within the legal “remedy” in the way of fineness. The residue-of the gold and silver coins had also to be weighed in bulk, and cert ain coins were taken and assayed separately- The verdict of the jurors wins duiv signed and rendered to the Queen’s Remembrancer, who, attesting it by his signature, rendered it as public record of the High Court of Justice. All the del-icately-imini pulated processes involved in testing and assaying having; been gone through, and the Deputy Master of tire Mint haying reccivoa his certificate or ‘ >iieCus,” the business of the day appropriately and characteristically concluded with a banquet, given by the Wlprshipful Company of Goldsmiths, the high officials connected with our monetary system. In .olden times the trial of the Pvx topk place before the Lords of the Council, and it is alleged that in a writ to the Barons, 9 and 10 Edward I., the assay*bf the purity and weight of the | coinage by a jury of goldsmiths is spoken of as a well-known custom. Every detail of the ceremony of testing is grounded on immemorial tradition: oir.y, in Leu of the trial being instituted by warrant fritu the Treasury, it was the^Lord Chancellor who formerly issued his precepts to the Wardens of the Goldsmiths to impanel a jury. On the opening of the pyx, or box, the coins to be assayed arejound in paper parcels, each under the seals of the Wardens, the Master of the Mint and the Comptroller. From every fifteen pounds' weight of silver, technically called “ ournies,” a minimum of two pieces is taken at hazard for the trial, aqd the coins are then mixed together in wooden bowls and afterwards weighed. The .assaying of million, anciently known as the “touch”—whence our still current _ .word “touchstone”—with the function of marking or stampng, vras a privilege conferred on the Goldsmith’s Com, any by -the Statute 28, Edward 1. As a matter of fact, the Goldsmiths have had an assay office for more tban 600 years ; and in the statute just cited It is provided that all manner of vessels of gold <>nd silver are expected to be of a good and true alloy, that is, “gold of * ccrta n touch,” and silver of the sterl ngu loy, and “no vessel is to depart out of the hands of the workman unMI it is; assayed by the workers of the goldsmiths’ caff.” The expression “good ami true alloy” presents a curious example of the mutations to which modern languages have been subjected. Our work “alloy” is derived from the Trench “a” and “loi,” according to

taw, ana meant primarily the legal standard of party. Thus, the French still speak of money “de bon aloi,” that is to say, money which has not lien debased below the legal standard,, and the inferior metal, which we call “alloy” they term “nlliagn.” In this country we hare kept the old French word, but bare wholly perverted Its moaning. The statute of Edward speaks of gola and silver “of good and true alloy;” but according to modern meaning attac hed to the word, in Kagland, tie more a coin was alloyed iJie less it would possess the elements of goodness and troth. Thus there would he an intolerable amount of “alloy” in the happily burked “Childerses.” “It is, however, when we come to consider the pyx itself that the very old English nature of the solemnity performed on Thursday becomes pleasingly apparent to the antiquarian. In ilhe east cloister of Westminster Abbey, close to the remains of the dormitory of t he oH monks, is an ancient don Me _ea» never be opened except by the orders the Government or at pies- . » of* the keys, some of ^mens^which^me ta the historic inland, known, from fee

Dean Stanley, In hb “Memorials <rf Westminster Abbey.” ha? drawl* a parallel equally ' striking and accurate between the exceptionally sanctified chapel and the cave hewn out of thoVocky side of the Hill: of Mycenos, where in the same vault tne 'yet to be seen the tomb and the treasury of the House of Atrens. Similarly, benea h the cliff of the Capitol ne Hil l at Borne, f.ho '1 reasury of the Roman Commonwealth was also the shrine of the moat venerable of the Italian gods - the Temple of Saturn.- As for tne Chapel of the Pyx, it seems to have somewhat fallen from its high estate as a repository for precious things, since at different periods it was the receptacle of the regalia of the Saxon Kings, the Black Rood of St. Margaret, or Holyroodcrosti, from Scotland, the ampulla of Henry IV., and the sword of Wayland Smith. At a later period the Westminster Treasury was used only for the custody of the regalia, the Abbey relic, the records of treaties and the pyx or box 'containing die standard trial pieces of gold and silver. At the time of the Restoration the reties vanished, leaving no vestige behind. The treaties went to the Record Office, and. after the Restoration, the regalia were removed tc the Tower. The pyx only remained.— London Telegraph. 1

The JneeJoe. Out of every one thousand people born into tliis world of sin ami sorrow, nine hundred and ninety-nine either do not know a good story when they hear it, forget it after they' have heard it, do not know how to repeat it themselves, or haven't good judgment about when to introduce it. I lay down this grand principle, as I am laying down all my grand princ:ples this season.; without fear of successful contradiction. I listened to a very fair amateur campaign speech the other 'evening—very fair, with one execution. The anecdotes were not made to illustrate the speech, but the speech had lie n distorted to lit the anecdotes. You know an artist sometimes strikes a good idea in a picture and sometimes writes up to the illustration instead of: whiting a good thing and then having! it illustrated incidentally. That's the way it was with that speech. To discriminate between agjoed story a*d a roor one, to remember the good ones and forget the poor ones, to bring in the right one at the right moment, and to do it as naturally a- the startled mud-turtle seeks the bosom erf the rolling deep, requires sang frc.id, naivete, chic, pro bono publico and horse sens '. These qualities are rarely cinifed in one individuai. vChie is useless without pro bono publico, a id both are N, G. without what Herbert Spencee has so charm ugly characterized as horse sense. p The world is peopled with denizens who are constantly telling anecdotes that claim to be facetious, but do not seem to get there. How often is the joyous group thrown into spasms by the scrap-book story-teller, who joyously sows the seeds of hypochondria everywhere.

coiiiu men can never lan a Hint. Thay go through life telling the saute gloom-environed funny stories, cheerfully shoving their bantlings of the alleged brain uuder the noses of lawabiding citizens, inviting scorn and contumely, bravely laughing at their own salt-rheum humor hud never acquiring the moral courage to take a grand North American tumble to themselves. Most people dislike to give needless pain. Unless a man is cruel and malicious in his disposition he will no' twice in the same manner wound the let-lings of his friend; and yet we are constantly running across the' man who has again and again grieved and saddened the hearts of his friends with the same depressing tale, resurrected from the humorous catacombs of the almanac to poison the pure air with its pestilential breath. One thing is absolutely certain to me I feel it as strongly as ever our forefathers felt the first 'throb of freedom, anil I wonder that neither |M>litical party has embodied the principle in its platform. This can never be a peaceful, prosperous and progressive people, morally and physically free, until the sbrong hand of the law shall reveal itself like a club-flush, and quarantine the effete, pestiferous, miasmatic, fungus anecdote of our boasted American institutions, which Him the large red picnic ant has planted uself tie tween the shoulder-blades of liberty and defies the civil, the military and the naval forces of the Nation to dislodge it.

Ihen ictliws the following arraignment of the com se of the Bepub-Uan party: ROW REPUBLICANS BECAME THB PAKTT Of MONOPOLISTS. The necessity lor money to carry on the war drew 111 the Laukcrs and capitalists into the lt.-pubJcan party. The immense fortunes, a most ttecessarily growing out of the vast exptnditttresof the war, le i into the hands oi men who attached theinrelves to the pa ty that fed [k m, as the iron is atti acted by the ntagnt t, and monopolized industr.es and en-teijn-iees.

Aud if any stayed in the hreinoc ratio pi r;y, tin y were in eonfe ienition'with the same class, to so arrange politics that whichever party cause in power, capital, in ail its varied auu powerful forms, would be sure of control, and the people be ground up as “between the upper and wether mill stone.” t hus it will Oe readily seen, and he who runs may rend, that the .Republican party is the party of monopoly, of corporate interests in every form of industry, and every department of business and nuance. fee anti Monopolists can expect nothing from the hep.ibhcatt party for reasons before stated, and because it hoi is both houses by the rich men who ate the owners cil monopolies, or the puid attorneys. CLAIMING TO PROTECT LABOR THEY ONLY PROTECT CAPITAL. True, it has in ait its tariff legislation claimed to protect and cherish American labor, but alwaj s oi ly as an adjunct to American capital, ( ap t ti engaged in manufactures aLd other industries, ran only be successful when the American laborer is well paid, amt surrounded with the comforts oit life. But 1 o vv little t.us the greed of capital allowed or comprehended this great fact; to t>ruve which 1 need only , to recall to your minus how capital chafing under even a partially fair divili n of its gieat profits with labor, has sought to relieve Lseif lrurn this scaut measure ot justice even, by the importation of foreign labor from every country whenc j it could oe brought, from the Chiuas to tiie western shores of the Atlantic. \s hy have they done this? Because those imported laborers can, aud lor a time do, live on what wou.d starve the American Waraiugn. en and so can work viry much cheaper, for it has ever been the rule, aud if the workingmen do not tt-.se the remedy for ttiis tearful state oi things into then-own hands, ever will be the rule that the wagesof the mooter will be o. tly so much aud na more as tvili support him aud his wile and chddten in the lowest degree of comfort when ail of itheui are at work who can work. In addition to this imported cheap labor, and the use of convict labor at a nominal price wherever it could he had, thereby de basing and lowering the high standard of American labor, the perfection of machinery, by which so great a share of produc-iion is directed, has so lessened muscular euort in labor that capital sts have been cuab.ed to u i.izc the labor of women and c hildre-n to a very large eatei.t to do that w ork which men ioruterydid. 'ihps the w orangutan'swire and sisters are mutictue instrume nts of lowering his own rate of wages. * * * * For these reasons, a tariff which gives to capital protection upon the ground that thereby American labor may beprotcCted, has too olden turned cut by means, sonic oi which 1 have men. toned, to be siuipiy t he enhancement oi the profits or cap.hu, wh.le laborBtiU remains substantially unrewareed and certaii ly without any just share of the prott s. Herein, as expeiicncc has shuwn, tne laboring classes have nothing to hope from tho Republican party. ‘1 lie first and on ly object of piotcciiou iri laying duties should be to protect labor and never to protect capital, which can be leffio protect itseti, as it lis amply abio to ilo. It should, moreover, he restrained limn petting more than its lair share oi the protts of production and irans.Hirtation, The Republican parly has granted subsidies to railroads ami steamships, elected many and expensive public buildings, simnt many tuib lions in opening ihe moutn oi the Mississippi ami leveeing its banks, and inatiiy million-' in improving i Ivors ami hai bo. s. These grants nimntnt to a sum equal o hair the National debt. Wilioul criiicisingthe propriety ot these grants, allhough some ol thou arc open tu criticism. yet these ate all aids to the capital1st and land owner. rtomt Ine to one grant or act in aid of tho workingman. I do not forget the eight-hour law for rtovernment laborers and michauo, bot there never has been honesty aud power enough in the Bepublican adiuinistrat.on to eu orce that law. When in Congress I introduced a bill and advoCati d it as well «b i c >uht t hat Congress grant aid to families of lab .-tin; ui n in cities to settle on the publ c lauds in tue West and make homes tor themselves, an II as communitics he able to protect themsclv, s agai.igt the Indiaus a d thus dispense with the c >st of the army. It slept iu the propc.-couunitt ies of a Uemocratie House and Republican Senate tha: sleep of all proposals in lavorof labor tnat knows no w liking. This bill would have begun another muchneeded reform, the rodueto.i to a sk jet on of the regular army winch .s expect lively useless in time of peace. Let Congress spend half of the vast sum, th.-rty millions, now appropriated to the army for its vsr.eu expend t .res, in organising aud disci|linng tha militia to be trained under the authorities ct tho States. Instead of the paltry taxv-tw heretofore given, and wo shall nave a military force isa reliance in every emergency, like the trained and organised militia of Massac ius ■ ti and i, ationiii Guard of New Fork, tho first armed bodies attae capital when in hanger in ’si. The Repul lira t paity has in it? ranks many good, true ana conscientious men, who tollowed it* fortunes aud carried its elections kecausd it protected the labor o; the South in its rigots, and claiaied to protect the laborer of the North in his wages. 1 call tie attention of such men to the fact that that party has f oiled to do ocher.

Mods, ftfontiony, of Brussels, bus noticed in the scintillat'on of the stars a great preponderance of blue, the color of water or ice, in great thickness, when the atmosphere is heavily charged with watery vapor and rain is imminent. In June, 18eS, he. announced that for two months the twinkling of the stars had shown less of the bine than in the corresponding months of previous years, while green, a fijt Weather color, had been much more frequently seen. These observations led him to predict that the succeeding part of the year would be unusually dry. It Is now stated that his ptediction was so accurately full.lied that in I8i3 Brussels saw the driest year since 1879. A study ot the rainband spectroscope has enabled observers to determine the character of the im-mediately-approaching weather, but it is believed that no spectroscopic indications Lave made it possible to forecast. ever so roughly, many consecutive months’ weather.—Louisville CourierJournal

Chewing Gun. If the girls know how vulgar, -illbred, unladv-like and positively disgust ng the habit of chewing gum in reality is they would quickly drop the vile habit. In little girls, like many other habits of little girls, it is excusable .to some extent. Bui to see a full grown girl, or one who thinks ahe is, and is ready to marry, work he.- jaws unceasingly even in the street, is inexcusable and but little removed from the pernio ous habit of chewing tobacco or dipping snuff. And yet you meet such ninnies every day and even country women, with babies at their breasts, chewing away like ruminating cows. Girls, stop chewing.—SmilM (Ark.)

The work is much smoother and the plastered effect that the oil colors give is thus avoided.—Exchange. —Weeds of all kinds are robbers, occupying the ground and feeding on plant-food ana manure which was never intended for them, thns reducing the crops and adding greatly to the expense of cultivation. The main point in weeding is to prevent seeding. — itoston Bu (get.

—Beet cakes: Chop some beef that is rare with a little fat bacon or ham, season with pepper, salt and a little onion, mix well and form into small cakes. Fry them a light brown and serve with a good gravy made of soup stock, thickened with brown flour.— Cincinnati Times. —Take care and remove sprouts and stickers that start out near where scions are set in engrafted trees, whether the stocks be old or young. Do this soon after they start, when they can be removed by thumb and finger; otherwise the sap is drawn away from the scions needed for their growth.—Priti Tie Farmer. —On all except sandy or gravely soils manure applied in excess of the needs of the crop are not wasted. It is quite common on heavy land to find plats of exceptional fertility that had a dressing of manure five or six years.before, especially If the land has been in grass or clover during the time —Albany Journal. —Plum Cake: Take one cup of hotter, two cups of brown sugar, yelks of three eggs, white of two eggs, half a cup of rui.k, half a cup of dark molasses, half a teaspoonful Of soda, half Eound raisins, stoned and chopped, alf a teaspoonful of cream of tartar, half pound currants, twotabiespoonfuls of any fruit sirup, four cups Sour, two teaspconfuls mixed spi es.

Farmers might do worse 1 han take a little note of now other business men manage their a flairs and learn somethin^ from their observation:. A farmer should not be like a clam and shut himself up within the hard . hell of his own ways and notions, nor think it matters nothing to him how the world moves, or tp the world how he gets along. He may learn a good deal by studying the ways of people in cities that will do him good in his cwn business. For instance, if he should go into a city workshop aud find one or two men at work in one corner, but all the rest of the great building empty, or, if filled, the machines runniiig empty and wearing out with rust,- he would he struck witii wouder and amazement. If he were to interview he owner, whom he would certainly thii k t;o be crazy, and were told that he had not sufficient means to furnish his f ictory, that he conld not afford to hire labor, or that he was doin'* well enough, that he made a living, an3 was well ss tislied with what he was doing, onr firmer would be more and more amazet. That is, if he were not struck with a simi larity between the case of this man and his own when his thoughts were turned to his own farin. where the latger part of his fields was overrun with weeds; where the crops yielded little more than the seed for want of tillige or fertilisers; where half his cow: failed to pay for their feed; where iis crops were destroyed by insects, hi i land poisoned with stagnant water for want of drainage, and all this was excused because he conld hot aflord to hire labor, or buy fertilizers, or procurt good stock, or that he was doing we I enough. If we route only see ourselves as others see us how different we should act! It helps us ;hns to see ourselves to watch closely other men. ~It helps the fanner to became acquainted with other business me n by whose industry and enterprise markets are found for farm products. Competition, too, spurs him to greater efforts or to tetter methods, but, unless he knows more about what his competitors are and what they are doing than the bare- fact that they are growing wheat more cheaply than he is, or arc making substitutes for his butter and cheese from cheap lard and taillow, he will be poorly able to keep ahead in the race and will find him-elf left behind. In observing the ways of other business men a farmer will find that each man makes his special business his life’s work, and studies it thorongly inside among his own machinery and work, and outside among .his customers, both actual and prospective, and sticks to it through good times and bad; that economy in every way is most strictly enforced, no work or means of any kind being wasted, no opportunity being missed, no dead stock being carried, and everything that does not pay being inexorably and immediately out off. And if he learns no more than this he will at least discover that in a genera! way the business man who should run his store or Workshop as the majority of farms are run would, very soon be without any business at all. -No doubt it is true that a large proportion of business men fail to succeed. But all these failures are due to the want of the strict business methods which alone iusure success, and it is Simply an indication that the farmer’s business is an excellent and profitable one that so few farmers fail in it,, rather than their methods are the best. So that we see very I w farmers succeed in other businesses, while a great many business men make excellent and successful farmers.—xV. Y. Times.

Fattening Fowls. In fattening fowls the first care should be to allow them as little room as can be—just enough for the number to stand up, but not enough for anything like exercise. If fonr are allowed the same sp ice that would serve for a dozen, they will not fatten as well or as readily; therefore a space of the fattening coop should b* ■ divided off and this should allow them only room to stand. The food for the fowl intended to be fattened should be ground oats mixed with skim milk. The food should be given them three times a day and mixed to such a consistency that when it is spread on a board it will not ran off. If fowls are fed with regularity they will fatten in three weeks' time. In the Western States most of the farmers fasten up such fowls as they intend to kill for their own use, selecting such as are not considered the most profitable to keep and place them in small coops or pens and feed them with care, and soon they have fowls that are admirably suited for the table. Even where fowls have been allowed free aocess to the oorn-orib and granary, this la a common practice yearly observed, frgucwce Chrmcf*

Tee Smart. A young married man of this city discovered a freshly-opened b >x of face powder on his w.fe's toilet table. “To thiscomplexion have we come at last,” h * said, and to g it out of the open window. It alighted safely on the head of a g ntleman who was going to church in his Sunday best, and enveloped him from head to foot like a spring snow storm. “vome down and be murdered,” he yelled up to the man in the window, shaking his fist and describing a war dance. “Come up and I’ll fight you,” shrieked the powder magazine above. The wile appea: ed as a pac'ficatoi; armed with a whisk-broom she descend ed to the side-walk, and her husband had the-satis action of seeing; her carefully dust off the strange man, while she made sooth ng apologies in invisible tones. And the husband has concluded not to interfere with his wife's toilet relations in the future.—Detroit Free Press.

She Had a Massive Brain, “My dear,” said Mrs. Van Shoddy to her husband, “I hare never seen Niagara Falls in my It e and wouldiike very much to see them.'’ “then you will have to make a stealthy visit to them, ray dear,” answered the husband, “for," you know, it is dreadfully unfashionable to go si.ht-seeing in our own country and we can’t aUord to break our set.” “But the cholera is in Europe, and as we can not go there t' is summer, wouldn t it be just the thing to go on a Canadian tour and 1 c mid see the 1 alls from the (. anadian side?” “W hy, my dear, that’s the very thing. Wbat a headpiece you have! 1 would never have thought of sneh a plan. A t anadian tour! That will make us the envy o our neighbors.” And it was settled.—Somerville Journal. Something Serious,’'^” Fhysicians are sometimes epreless in prescribing opiates. “E’octo^lsaid an anxious wife, “don’t you think that you sre giving my husoand too much morphine?” “I guess not.” “But suppose tha^he keeps on taking it after he gets well.” “V\ ell, in case he- should become a ’confirmed mo phine eater, it would be best for him to stop the habit.” •"Suppose, though, he keeps on after the habit is formed.-'” “A hy, in th .t event it would doubtless prove fatal.” “Uh, well,” replied the lady, “1 didn't know Lut it m ght amount to something serious.’’—.drAa/isatc Traveler. He Lost His Blip. Mr. Grentheart was on the train one day last week with his family when Mrs. G. called his attention to an ind - vidua] in a h'gh state of excitement. He was ev deuttv looking for something, and the words “valise,” “satcher,” etc., frequently escaped him. “What in the world is the matter with the man?” quer ed Mrs. Greatheart. h, he’s only lost his grip, that’s all,” responded Mr. G. and his wife never even caught on.— H Yis/tt'n. ton Hatchet. —There is one young woman at the seashore who disregards prevailing fash ons and overstates her age.
