THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY AUGUST 17, 1893. ABOUT MONEY. FULL OF THE SILVER OF INTEREST AND THE GOLD OF FACT. Absolutely pure ;old is suij to bo 24 carats fine. The gold coins ol' Great Britain contain 1-12 alloy. The Spartans had an iron coinage, no other being allowed. The United States silver 3 cent picco was first coined in 1851. The English mint was established by Athelstane about 928. From 1828 to 1845 platinum coins were minted in Russia. The first coining machine was invented by Bruchner, in 1553. The notes used by the Bank of Eng. land cost eiactly 1 cent each. Julius Caesar was the first man to put his own image on a coin. Aristotle says that "money exists not by nature, but by law." The first colonial coinago was minted in Massachusetts, in 1G52. In the tenth century there were 38 mints in England. The American cents of 1787 bore the motto, "Mind your business." The Lydians were the first to coin money, about B. C. 1600. Homer mentions brass money as in use B. C. 1184, among the Greeks. Brass money was coined in Rome by Servius Tullius as early as 573 B, C. During the reign of Henry VIII, 23 to 25 per cent, of coin metal was alloy. , The coinage of trade dollars began in 1874, and was discontinued is 1878. The most ancient coins are of eleutsum, four parts of gold to one of silver. The coinage of 20 cent pieces began in 1875, and was discontinued in 1878. Bofora the days of coined money the Greeks used copper nails as currency. In 1503 the first English shilling was minted. It bore the king's image.

A BEE HUNTER KILLED BT LIQUTNINU WHILE CLIMBING A TREK. A singularly fatal accident happened to a colored man yesterday during the storui of rain, wind and thunder and lightning that prevailed in this eity and section about JO o'clock a. m. John Carter, the colored man referred to, un employee at the Navassa Guano Factory, a few miles above the eity, on the Cpe Fear river, found bee tree a few days ago on Indian creek, a short distance from the factory, and yesterday morning started out to "rob it" of its store of sweets. While Carter was climb iog the tree it was struck by lightning nn.l tin wu killed instantlv: his dead body falling from the tree being half buried in the mud at its foot Wil. Star. REV. DR. TALMAUE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT GOD'S PATIENCE. God has a mother's patience for the erring. If one does wron, first his associates in life cast him off; if he goes on in tho wrong way, his business partner casts him off; if he goes on, his best friends cast him off his father casts him off. But after all others have cast him off', wlitro docs he go ? Who holds no grudge, and forgives tho last time as well as the first ? Who sits by the murder er's counsel through the long trial? Who tarries tho longest at the windows of a culprit's cell? Who, when all others think ill of a man, keeps on thinking well of him? It is his mother. God bless her gray hairs, if she still be alive; and bless her grave if she be gone. And bless the rocking chair in which she used to sit, and bless the cradle that she used to rock, and bless tho Bible that slie used to read! So God, our mother, has patience for all the erring. After every body else has cast him off, God, our mother, comes to the rescue. God leaps to take charge of a bad case. After all the other doctors have got through, the Heavenly Physician comes in. Human sympathy at such a time does not amount to much. Even the sympathy of the church, I am sorry to say, often does not amount to much. I have seen the most harsh, bitter treatment on the part of those who professed faith in Christ to ward those who were wavering and erring. They tried on the wanderer sarcasm, and billingsgate, and caricature, and they tried tittle tattle. There was one thing they did not try, and that was forgiveness. A soldier in England was brought by a Sergeant to the Colonel, What,' said the Colonel, bringing the man here again ? We have tried every thing with him.' 'Oh, no,' said the Sergeant, 'there's one thing you have not tried. I would like you to try that.' What is that?' said the Colonel. Said the man; 'forgiveness! me case had not gone so far but that it might take that turn, and so tho Colonel said : 'Well, youog man, you have done so and so. What is your excuse?' 'I have no excuse, but I am very sorry,' said the young man. 'We have made up our minds to forgive you,' said the Colonel. The tears started. He had never been accosted in that way before. His life was reformed, and that was the starting point for a positively Christian life. Oh, church of God, quit your sarcasm when a man falls! Quit your irooy, quit your tittle tattle, and try forgiveness. God, your mother, tries it all the time. A man's sin may bo like a continent, but God's forgiveness is like the Atlautic and Pacific Oceans, bounding it on both sides." A CURIOUS DISCOVERY. News-Observer-Chronicle. Mr. Andrew Broadfoot, who lives net r Fayetteville, has lately dug a well ou his place, 00 feet deep. Nearly all of the way down the well was in clay, but a stratum of gravel was found at the bottom, with a plenty of good water. In the gravel lm foftind a part of a log of wood, petrified in art and partially con verted into coal, of the variety known as lignite. The pcttified prt was thickly encrusted with crystals of irou pyrite, while the lignite had enclosures of what appeared to be pine rosin. This rosin will melt and Uazj uu the application of a match and gives the characteristic odor of turpentine when burning. How many years it required for this pine log to become buried under 60 feet of drift is a question for geologists to speculate on. Mr. Broadfoot reports alto, on the same plantation, two depres sions or shallow basins, some twenty-five acres each, without any outlet for water, They have both been drained by sinking; a well at the lowest part of each basin. Through these wells the surface water reaches a porous stratum of gravel and escapes, leaving the basins in good oondi tion for crops. The outer rim of the basin is, in both oases, very sandy and poor. The specimens referred to above have been deposited in the State muse FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS Mrs. Winslow's Southing Syrup has been used for over fifty years by millions ot mothers for their children while teething, with perfect . success-, It saothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, eures wind colic, and is the best remedy for Diarrhoea.
