CALIFORNIA MONEY
Queer Early Coinage D O Mills la
aued First Paper Money
Coins In California till the fall of
1850 were a queer kettle of fish More
than CO per cent of the silver and at
least 25 per cent of the gold were for
eign
Most of the other gold coins were
private coins Moult Co got n per
mit from the government to coin gold
Their coinage was stamped Moult
Co
We had all kinds of doubloons and
Binaller South and Central American
coins Of the smaller gold coins the
French twenty franc piece led all the
others
The English guinea was fairly repre
sented But It passed for only its face
value while the other gold passed for
more The twenty franc piece value
370 went at SJ
Thdrc was a still greater discrepancy
In the silver coins A one franc piece
went for 25 cents and the East India
rupee value 45 cents went for DO
cents the five franc piece 1 The
French silver represented about GO per
cent of the sliver circulation
German silver lhalers worth GO cents
went iit 1 Everything above 50 cents
was 1 and everything above 25 cents
was 50 cents A French bank in San
Francisco was said to have got rich
shipping French coin in exchange for
gold dust United States coin was
scarcei until the mint was established
In the fall of 1S5G the bfcs refused
to tako any foreign coins except at a
heavy discount The result was that
In a few months all foreign coin disap
peared It proved a bonanza for the
saloon people They would still give a
drink for a franc while the banks gave
only 121 cents The saloon people
gathered them and the rupees in at
old prices and sold to the banks for
bullion and made a good thing
But for a few 3ears we suffered bad
ly for yilver change Even until 185G
gold dust circulated to a considerable
extent In mining districts but the
scales Tere always used
There was no paper money until D
O Mills Co issued their gold notes
about 1858 In getting change for an
old octagon S50 gold often as many
as four or five nationalities would be
represented in the change On all
drafts sent east S3 was charged by the
express companies until Adams Co
and Tage Bacon Co failed and left
the field to Wells Fargo then it was
raised to S5
Greenbacks were never recognized as
money only as a commodity They
were used for buying postage and rev
enue stamps All mercantile billheads
and notes had the special contract en
forcement for gold California even
paid the claims of the federal govern
ment in gold And it came In mighty
handy to Uncle Sam in 1SG2 and 18G3
The old style Californian still has an
inclination for the yellow stuff P E

A Vague Prescription
One of the virtues of the modern
physician is definiteness of direction
To prescribe a dose once In so often
Is to leave a wide margin of chance
especially if the drug be a potent one
Let It be hoped that the good man
whose prescription is quoted below
was not dealing in strychnine nor prus
sic acid The letter is taken from
Highways and Byways In Sussex
by E V Lucas and was written by
the doctor in an English village a
century ago
Mr Andrews I have sent you soma
things which you may take in the man
ner following viz of that in the bottle
marked with a f you mny take of the
quantity of a spoonful or so now and
then and at night take some of those
pills drinking a little warm beer after It
and in the morning take 2 spoonfuls of
that in the other bottle fasting an hour
after it and then you may eat something
you may take also of the first and every
night a pill and in the morning
I hope this will do you good which is
the desire of him who is your loving

flag Is run up on the tower of the prin

flags appear upon the towers of the
other mosques throughout the city
This is noon At half past 1 another
flag is run up and at sunset the even

the Moorish idea of time Only a few
of the better class have books or can
read or write The mails are carried

BUYING OLD FIDDLES
Many
Fine instruments Havo
BeeH
Picked Up Cheap
Great numbers of fine old violins and
violoncellos that come Into the high
class market of London are procured
through the medium of advertisements
Inserted In obscure country papers
and especially those of ancient cathe
dral cities
Of course few of the fiddles thus ob
tained are veritable masterpieces but
a great many of them are fine exam
ples of early English and foreign mak
ers and they are often bought for ri
diculously small prices by a group of
experts who have brought the busi
ness to a lucrative system Many
struggling family of Ioug descent In
some out of the way part of the coun
try happens to see in the one county
newspaper of the week that good
prices are given for old fiddles and
some long forgotten Instrument in a
lumber room or put away on a shelf
suddenly comes to mind
Correspondence follows The dealer
sends a deposit in order that some fid
dle spoken of may be sent to him anu
examined and he usually replies that
the Instrument sent Is dilapidated anu
but so so generally but that he Is will
ing to give 30 shillings or 2 for It In
a great many cases the offer Is ac
cepted offhand and In this way most
of the finest fiddles extant of the sec
ond class come Into the hands of deal
ers Only lately a cello that came
from a Shropshire farm nt the price
of 2 sold the same day to a west
end dealer for nearly 100
One of the most shrewd and respect
ed of all these dealers was until a
year or two ago a humble member of
the orchestra of a London suburban
theater He began to advertise in re
mote papers to the greatest limits of
his scanty wages and is now one of
the most extensive and prosperous
dealers in the trade London Tit Bits
A SILLY TRAGEDY
The Duel Between Tom Porter and
Sir Henry Bellasis
Some of the royalists who were
forced to endure the English common
wealth seemed to console themselves
for the dullness of life under a Puritan
government by fighting as many duels
as they could compass so that Ignoble
squabbles and foolish plots make up
the history of their days
Tom Porter was of a family which
had zealously served the king Under
the new government his occupation was
gone and he descended to a triviality
of life which finally involved him in a
most pathetic event This was a duel
which he fought with his friend Sir
Henry Bellasis and which says Pepys
In his Diary is worth remembering
for the silliness of the quarrel a
kind of emblem of the general com
plexion of the whole kingdom
But silly as the quarrel undoubtedly
was It carried In it an element of heart
break
The two young men involved were
intimate friends and companions but
one day being merry in company
Tom Porter said he should like to see
the man in England who would dare
give him a blow With that Sir Henry
Bellasis struck him a box on the ear
The inevitable duel followed wherein
each was wounded Sir Henry proved
to be seriously hurt so he called Por
ter kissed and bade him fly
For said he Tom thou hast hurt
me but I will make shift to stand upon
my legs till thou mayest withdraw for
I would not have thee troubled for
what thou hast done
Porter profited by his friends gener
osity and escaped to France Sir nenry
died a few days later and Pepys con
cludes It is pretty to see how the
world do talk of them as a couple of
fools that killed one another out of
love
Spying on Bargain Gifts
The engaged girl was found study

I dont expect to buy anything she
said but I want to see if anybody I
know bujs anything A lot of auc
tioneers are advertising that they have
on hand and pictures and
odds and ends of furniture suitable
for wedding presents That set me to
wondering if any of my friends would
try to avail themselves of these auc
tion room bargains when buying pres
ents for me I saw two girls here this
afternoon who have been invited to
my wedding One bought some kind
of a brass bowl another a vase They
got the things dirt cheap I fancy they
are for me If they are well just
wait till those girls get married
