THE 'DAILY WORKMAN. J. h.

Personal. Mr. J. F. Ionian has returned from Piedmont Springs, and is ready for business as usual. Prof. Blair, of the Winston Grad ed School, was hers last night a short time, on his return, by way ot High Point, to his post in Winston. Rev. R. II. Wills, the pastor, as sisted by others, is conducting a pro tracted meeting at Tabernacle church. Rev, W. F. Kennett, accompa nied by Mrs. Kennett, returned to his charee at Winston this morning. Mayor King has had a slight backiet in his health, but we trust soon to hear that he is up and out again. Rev. T. J. Ogburn was here a abort while this morning, but return ed on the Raleigh train to the pro tracted meeting at Fairview, Ala' diance county. Rev. W. C. Hammer, of SYbrth .ville, was here last night and this morning. The venerable Sam Siler, of Siler City, has been here to-day on busi ness. Married, in Statesville.onTliurs day, Sept ist, 18S7, Mr. Clarance Boshamer to Miss Canie Barkley. The bride and groom spent yesterday in this city visiting relatiyes, and took the eastern bound train this morning for Durham and other points. - There is generally a steady sl'aarri of custom going in and coming out at the Boarding Houseof our obliging friend, Rev,JRs"ft. Moore. His cus tom has so increased that he is about full all the time. It is a query how he manages to feed so many hungry people , Our community was greatly .shock ed this morning to learn that Dr. Ed. "Lindsay died at the hour of 1 1 15, m. We, among a number of pthers, had not heard of his illness,, which began on Monday last. The disease 'progressed rapidly, and death ensued this morning. The burial will occur at the Presbyterian church this even Ping at 5 o'clock. : . As Mr. Moses Strauss' clerk was trying to sell a man from the country a pair of shoes for $1.25, the man of fered him for the ehoes 50 cents. rassmg oy me ooor ai tne time we .heard the name, "Daily Workman" called The clerk had just told the ''man that his offer ought to be pub lished in the Daily Workman as a curiosity. But the really curious part Was the countenance ot the man when he heard the name of the Daily Workman called. Evidently he didn't kfipw whether it was a horse rake or a fan mill . Not DEAO.r.We have never yet copied any notice of the death ot the eminent explorer Stanley, because we nad serious doubts about the truth ot the report It turns out that Stanley is still alivo, according to' recent re ports deemed reliable. - . ' - i George Mcixeb's Faith ip Prayer. Captain Datton relates an interesting .anecdote ia regard to Ilr. George Muller, who crossed the Atlantic in hia steam-vessel in the autacH of the year 1877. One day the earner was obliged to t'.acken j ace on account of a tc, wh; involved a certain degree ci ribk, i :.ey were ia the viciaity cfi:clr ;. About noon, ilr. fr tokti tie captain if Le haJ a few miootea to spare for prayer, Ihey aooordmcly retired into a room aud kneeled down, and Mr Mailer prayed to God aa the God of love and Almighty power to re move the fog for the aake of hid dear son Jesus Christ ; and in his prayer be expressed confident trust that God would grant the request They then both went on deck, and within five miuntes the dense fop bad completely disappeared, and the vessel was enabled to prooeod at fall speed. The Dollar. Oar word dollar dates back to 1733, wbeo a resolu tion vas passed by Congress which provided that it should be the unit of money of the United States. Another resolution was passod in 1785, Angnst 5. providing that it sbonld weigh 375.61 grains of pare silver. The mint was established ia 1792, and was tboo required to coin silver dollars routainiog 37125 grains of silver. This was dae to the ioflaenca of Alexander Hamil ton. No dollars were coined until 1791. and then irregularly. They are worth now. 100 each. Jn 1791 the coinage of regular dollars begau. Onr coin was an adoption of the Spanish milled dollar, a coin, very popular wherever the Spaniards traveled. The coin was caiiea niaater " meaning a flat pieoe of metal ; it is synonymous with pias ter. It is supposed the Spaniards tnok the German 'thaler, and called it by the nam of "piaster." The word dollar is entered in Bailey's English dictionary in 1745, and was used bv Shakespeare at the beginning of the seventeenth century, especially in Macbeth ii. 2, 62: "Till she disbursed ten thousand dollars to oar genera use." (bee also the Tempest it 1, 17.) Tne question where Shakes neara fonnd the word dollar is an swered by the act that the Hanse- atio towns maintained a great es tablishment called the Steel Xard in London, The Steel Yard iner cbant;were mostly North Ger mans, who would call the German thaler aa if it wan spelt "dab ler." These Bame merchants occasioned the word sterling, an abbreviation of the word "ealerline." As the Hauseatio - trade wa particularly brisk on the Baltic and in Russia, the standard coins of the Hanse merchants were called esterlings, and sterlins came to mean some- thins cennine and desirable. The word thaler means "coming from I dale or valley," the first dollar bav log been coined in a xionemian vai lev called Joaohimsthal. It was nnder Charles V.. the EfflDeror Germany, King of Spain, and Lord of opauisn America, that tne uer man thaler became the coin of the world. , Abkikg Without Desimnq Sometimes in the bouse my child will be playing, and be will stop and sav.
