Pnrkingthe Precious Metal An Knormom Hoaril Loss of Weislit liuring Its Pas sage When It Pay to Ship.

This does lm. ...trail, however, tnai me smpmenis are ior tne oanK's own account. They are not. At a first glance persons might suppose that when the demand ari-es for gold to send abroad the shipper would have nly to send in his order for his hundreds or thousands to the Sub-Treasury, where millions of specie are on deposit. But there are suficient reasons why this plan will not work. The Sub-Treasury can pay out its coin only to creditors of the Government, and a Wall street man can not become a creditor of the Govern ment simply on his own option. He can not present a check upon his bank- iiijf-uuiise anu secure us acceptance Dy 13J13U1UI LlCilSUlCl nULWI. X He 1&VV.S inierpo.-e. j.ne auo-ireasury can pay out gold only to such an amount as off sets its debits. The-e frequently are comparatively unimportant. For in stance, a couple of days ago the debits aggregated only $lUO,ooo,and this was to be distributed, among a large number of creditors. But while they can place no dependence upon support from this quarter, the associated o.inks of the city have a means of their own contrivance for providing the needed gold. They have constituted the Bank of America a sort of trust compauy for their advan tage. And with the" Bank of America the associated banks keep on deposit constantly an enormous sum in gold. During the past vear this sum has ranged from .oo,000,0U0 to .4G,000,000, never falling below the first-named amount. To the members of the Bank Associa tion the Bank of America issues its own certificates against these deposits, re deemable on demand. So, when there is an occasion for making a large gold shipment, the person desiring to for ward it secures from his own bankthe-e certificates for the amount required, and, presenting himself at the Bank of America, soon has the privilege of look ing down upon the gleaming wealth as it lies piled at his disposal "in the rear office of that bank there, under his di- rectum, to be bagged and kegged and It is not al made ready for shipment. ways the case that the packing for ship ment is done on the premises of the Bank of America. One or two of the biggest houses in the street have "cooper-shops" of their own, and make their consignments secure under their own roofs, but the rule is otherwise. Kegs in which gold is packed "specie kegs," as they are called are made of oxtra hard woods. They must have an extra iron hoop, and their workmanship must be above the ordinary. Specie is not thrown loosely into a keg, nor, upen the other hand, is it carefully wrapped in tissue paper and oiled up one coin upon another. The keg serves only as a protection for can vas bags, into "which the gold is placed in the "ordinary hit-and-miss fashion of pennies in a Jersey farmer's wallet. The canvas of these" bags is especially stout, and the ends are sewed particu larly strong. Into each bag go .5,000, and ten bags fill a keg, so that each keg which rolls out from the rear of the Bank of America is worth the round sum of .50,000, plus the cost of the cask itself and the value of a yard or two of rough canvas. In the interests of security each keg is treated to what is technically known among the shippers as the "red-taping" process. Ateachend of the Keg, in the projecting rims of the stwes, above the head, are bored fouriank of England managers have tried holes at equi-distant intervals. A o convince the world that they assay piece of red tape is run through these holes, crossing on the head of the keg, and the ends finally meet in the center. At the point of meeting the tape is sealed to the keg's head by hard wax, bearing the stamp of the shipper. Any meddling with the keg must break the I- -. tape or wax, and so on the triD acros the ocean it is an easy matter to watch a'l -Toltl taken in by the Bank of Eng the valuable consignment and detect ! land," added he, "until a year, or so any auempt to imenere witn it. ; Gold crosses the ocean very much as ' does every other kind of freight. Years j ago there were some shippers who de-' tailed an employee with every consign- ment to act as a sort of detective and ' u .i i i t u ...I uuiu u waicu as uesL ue couiu over tneir kegs. No such care is ever taken now. i As a rule, the gold shipped is insured. Safely watched till on shipboard, the precious freight is then under the con trol of the vessel authorities and the marine insurance companie-, and upon ' I resDonsibUitv nlocpd I these parties is all responsibility placed. The average rate of insurance is about ' 360 something over .51,700 upon a j shipment of .51,000,000. There are I shippers who no not insure, or rather , they insure themselves. One prominent I house in Wall street. which sent some ' f30,000,000 abroad last year, paid no tax to any insurance company. The Baying thus effected amounted to about sou,wu. in maintaining tms policy of t ine cooper nere in iastening tne iron no insurance, these shippers say that bands upon the specie kegs had driven their savings on this account since they i his nails through the bags containing have been in business have been such the coin. The result was that the Lon as would enable them to lose outright a i don agents of the New York house were shipment of $1,000,000 or more and still , obliged to repack every bag so torn, be have to their credit in the fund which , the hole ever so slight, before it could they have set aside in their own house i be placed on the English market. The instead of paying it out for insurance, i cost of new bags was a trivial matter, Carefully choosing the steamers upon ' Dut it is of trivial matters that the man which to place consignments, they dis- j who handles millions is generally most count all probability of disaster. As a rule, however, the shipper who does not insure divides up his consignments. Having to ship -91,000,000, he will give it in equal parts to four or five different vessels. It is a strict; rule with some Wall street firms never to trust more than -9250,000 at a time on anyone ship. One of the singular circumstances con nected with the' shipping of gold is that for the last twenty years or more every keg which h-us been taken out of Wall street has been handed down to the vassehj by on man, "honest old John Barkley," who is said to ha?fe grown rich in the business. For each kear he has taken on board his truck he is paid SI, and the big heavy one which he has had built f-r the special purpose will carry .' UW.OOU, or lOrtV kers. A Slim- lar monopoly is held by "Cooper Spier, who furnisru's all the kegs and packs them, getth 2 for each one com pleted. In shipping: specie there are manv ! matters of details which the pvnnrifliined 1 i . . . man Knows to be ot prime imuortance. but which to a person unacquainted with the bu-iness seem vatueless. For instance, m masinr ready a shipment of l,G00,0i'0to Europe the ordinary individual would be quite as willing to u.i', uc-uun:;r pieces as uouoie-eagies.

While a five-thous- ll -.:... i nna-Dag maue up ot nve-aollar coins j would contain 1,000 pieces, the same I sum in double-eagles would take onlv ! -m pieces.

Thft nninirin.tpd would bo apt to smile incredulously when told that there is a loss and one of consequence bv this abrasion of coins. Circumstance, varying ou dif ferent voyages, of course, produce var iance in the extent of the abraiion. " On an average," said a prominent shipper yesterday, "a million of dollars sent across to London will lose will lose will a few dollars." Pressed to estimate more definitely, the shipper .-aid, "A few dollars. Oh, that's definite enough." What the Wall street man considered "a few dollars" was shown bv reference to the account , books of one of the hcavit houses in I fjjg street. Taking shiymeats of S 1,000,000 recently made, one was found to have fallen short in the voyage a fraction more than niuo ounces, another a fraction more than eight ounces, another a fraction more than nineteen ounces, while in a shipment of 5750,000 there was a loss of a fraction more than twenty ownces. The aver age loss can safely be estimated at sixteen ounces on a million-dollar shipment. Gold being worth 516 an ounce, sends the few dollars up to about 5-50. Any movement will have a similar effect. In Great Britain it is declared that a shipment from the Bank of Edinburgh down to the Bank of England will cause the loss of an appreciable percentage, and a Govern ment officer said yesterday that a bag of coin can not be carried down Wall street, a single block, from the Sub Treasiiry to the Custom-hou-e without an abrasion which is discoverable. The only protection to be found against abrasion lies in the shipment of gold in bars instead of in coin. Until quite recently, however, gold bars have not readily been obtainable. To secure them the shipper has been obliged to pay a piemium. and generally so hig tr.-is rhnt nrpminm nlncoil hv rho hulHon brokers commanding the situation that I the possible loss by abrasion would not by any means balance it. But not long ago a change came over this condition of affairs, and a law has been passed recently by Congress allowing the Sub Treasury here to pass out fine gold bars from the vaults in exchange for National coin. This is to the Government's advantage, in that heretofore specie has been obtainable without any charjre for the one-fourth of 1 per cent, coinage cost. The issuance of the bars, more over, will tend to keep Lnited States . coin at home. This new law went into ; effect June 1, and its appreciation in j Wall street is shown bv the fact that $1,800,000 in bars ha- been bought within the past fortnight. Another i 95.00O.00O has heon molded and is in the vaults of the Assay Olli-'e ready for delivery. The bars or "bricks" of gold averaye a va'ne of 4.500.

There is occasionally an interesting item of expense of another nature, the ' mere entry of which on an account book would be apt to puzzle the man not ac-! 's pre- quainted with all the petty details of shipping. "Sixty bags" is the charge recently sent from London to one big .iNew lorK snipper, ihis signined that careful. Shippers of gold to Europe frequently find it much more favorable to their in terests to sell to bullion-brokers than to deal with the bank of England. London bullion-brokers very often are willing to pay as much as an eighth of a penny or even a farthing per ounce above the bank's rate.

" in tne name oi goodness, Higgins, what ha? happened to you?" asked his friend "Been ground up in a stone crusher?" " No," was the reply, sadly spoken. " What is it, then? Have you had a tumble through a hatchway?" " No." " Did your ceiling come down on you in your sleep?" " O no, nothing of that kind." " You had no unpleasantness with one of the wildcats when over at Barnam's, I hope." Higgins did not seem to enjoy this jocose questioning. Finally he asked : " Do you still jump on the train going UP tne nul- " so 1 must warn you against it." "" Well," said the other.

The feet of tae daneerw kept Ierfect time to the merry music of the orchestra, and they moved easily and gracefully through" the figures of the lancers. Hail a chance observer been told that aot one of those eighty yoong ladies and gentlemen could hear a single note of the music he probably would have received the statement v L.1 incredulity as he took another look at the smooth gliding motions of therevelers. Yet such was tne fact. The dancers were not only deaf but dumb, for it wa a picnic party, made up of these poor, doubly atllicted ones. But there was nothing to suggest altliction in the mannar of the excursionists. 0 the contrary, they were enjoying themselves hugely and seemed to feelall that indescribable ex hilarations which thrills true lovers of the dance when the soft strain of a Strauss waltz come floating downward from the gallery of the Academy o Music on the night of the "charity." It was the sixth annual excursion of the Manhattan Literary Association, an organization of deaf mutes formed prin cipally of lady and gentlemen gradu ates from the institution for instructing the deaf and dumb. Accompanied by their friends the party, about 500 in all. started from Eighth Street, East River, at half past eight in the morning, steamed around the Battery to the North River, and after calling at Eleventh Street to take a few more on board, pro ceeded up the Hudson to Mount Pleas ant Grove at Hastings. The excursion was a striking illustra tion of how much science has done to alleviate the condition of the deaf and dumb. It was strange, indeed, to see them dance with such precision merely from watching with quick, trained eye the tiuie beats of the orchestra leader ami the steps of those who could hear. But still more marvelous was it to hear the deaf speak. There were at lea-t a score of tho'ie present who had beeu educated in the n-w act of lip reading, and who could-carry oa a conversation in the imial way, having learned to read anil speak from vvatchingthe lips of their teachers. A mustache on the part of the person they spoke with was a puzzle to them sometimes, as it partly con ceals the movements of the mouth, and the Herald reporter, who has a heavy mustache, found it a severe test for some of the pupils. One charming yoong lauy. novvever, conversed witn great ease aud fluency. Sfae admitted and here she blushed very deeply that she was accustomed to a mustache, a young gentleman, a very intimate friend, pos--e-singa very soft and silky one. Two things were noticeable about the excursion party. When the music ceased there was almost a dead silence. Now and again a peal of hearty laughter would be heard, showing that in that sense the picnickers were not dumb, but there was none of the buzz and chatter of conversa tion which one usually hears on festive occasions of the sort The few who con versed were, of course, a very small mi nority. But such a confusing and rapid gesticulation with the hands! With the quickness of lightning, and with bright, expressive eye, the mutes conversed with each other in the sign language, and jokes and repartee went round very much .as they alwavs do. Another thing noticeable was when a group of ladies and gentlemen was composed of mutes and hearing persons for there were sev eral such on board. When this chanced and a conversation sprung up an amusing sight followed. The hearing persons not understanding the sign language, an other means of communication was ne cessary. iiucK as a Hash out would come note books and pencils, and the whole party would take to dashing 08 .ha-4y notes to each otln-r. iieii the talk became animated all hands would he seen writing furiously in their note bsks. When the barge reached Mount Pleas ant and lunch-ba-kets had been emptied, little parties strolled off under the trees, and it was very soon evident to one whe watched the pretty girls and their escort that flirtation and expressions of endear ment are about the same in the sign lan guage as in our spoken tongue. Whether any of the students pursued their studie. in lip-reading was not ascertained. The excursionist amused themselves very niu'h as others do with boatin', fishing, swimming, and so on and al half-past four started to return, reaching the city again at nine o'clock. There are about one thousand deal mutes in thi city, and about half that number were at yesterday's excursion. A'. F. Herald.

"That's because it's so ranch kneaded." responded the other, with a feeble at tempt at a pun. The first speaker threw up his hand in affected horror. "To this complexion have we come at last," he quoted. Then the girl rose up. "Ithinkyou'n jut horrid." she exclaimed "Stop the car! I won't sit here and have no such remarks pa-sed on me!"

I The Fall f a Nerada Mountain Peak. About eleven o'clock Thursday morn ing the whole town was startled by ater rible roar and a jar like an earthquake, which sent people flying out of theii houses ih all directions. A glance up th side of Mount Olsen revealed the causi of the phenomenon. One of the 3harp peaks of foliated granite near the sum mit, loosened by the late rains, had top- pled over and was rushing down a steep . ravine Arectly toward the center of th j town with appalling force, crushing and; grinding everything in its pathway. Foi J few moments it looked as though sev eral houses were doomed to inevitable destruction, but fortunately the slid scattered and was checked in the talus at the foot of the cliffs, causing it to stop ?hort ot any of the buildings. One im mense boulder, weighing not less than liftr tons, came down with fearful veloc- ity. striking the rock bench above town i itu breaking it in a thousand fragments; which stopped on a flat a few rods from the China nouses on Clarke Street. Dur uig the progress of the slide everybody was stricken with consternation, and -cany people soughtsafety in wild flight. (t Is estimated that at least 1,500 to 2,000 Ions of rock came down in the slide.

Fifteen miles out of Chattanooga oa the Bridgeport road I came upon a negro squatter. The cabin was a structure oi poles which a man could have pushed over, and the roof was simply a lot of straw and weeds and bushes thrown upoa the rafters and held down by large limbs. The one room was not over twelve feet square, and in this, with no floor but the earth, lived a family of nine. There were two straw beds, one chair, one old table, three plates, one knife, one fork, twe -spoons and a bowl. It had been rain ing, and part of ibe earthy floor was a mud-puddle. The family had about five pounds of meal and three or four of ba con, and of all the patches one ever saw the greatest show was right there. Tin old man had thirteen patches on one lej; of his trousers, eleven on the other, seven ou his rest, and his cotton shirt was patched in a dozen places with red, yel low and white and blue woolen. The old woman's dress looked like a cnuy quilt, and two of the boys had only ens trousers-leg apiece. " Great Scots! but how do you live?' I asked while one of the boys was wat ering the horse. "Lib, sah how does we lib?" repeat ed the old man. " Well, sah, we is gainin' on it right smart. I reckon ks gwine to be a good y'ar fur poo' folks. " What do vou raise?" "ChilPen an' dogs, sah!" he soberly replied. " Do you work any?" " Only when I feels like it." " And this is all your furniture:" " Well, p'raps dai may be a eha'r eul behind de cabin." "And these are all the clothes yoa have?" " Yes, sah, 'ceptone of myole hate oa de roof." " And you call this living, do your 44 See heah. sir, he began as he roes up from his seat on a log near the door step, " 'pears to me like you was inqar iif a leetle too much!

Patrick Diver, a New York salooa keeper, was awaiting the departure ef the train for Tottenville. when he was accosted by a rough-looking man in tat ters, who aaked him for a dime. Diver had some knowledge of the man. hav ing seen him about his saloon occasion ally. The man told him he was starr ing. Diver said he would give him ne money, but taking out his pencil and note-book he wrote the following note to Ed. Koppers. hotel-keeper at the landing: "Give this poor fellow a din ner whatever he wants. WiM settle the score when I come back. P. Diver." Anned with this note the tramp went to the hotel and ordered first a muttoa stew, a, plate of roast veal, and corned beef and cabbage. Having eaten most ravenously he ordered a plate of Iamb and its accompaniments, a large dish of tomatoes, four dishes of pea?, and two plates of salmon, and the man took a rest for a few minutes and then dranh three bottles of Scotch ale in succession, after which he ate four hard-boiled eggs and an apple pie.
