The returns as to coinage of foreign countries contains some interesting facts. In Great Britain uo gold wa* coined in 1882. The best estimate ol the gold coin in circulation in the United Kingdom is 110,000,000 pounds sterling, and of paper money 43,721,000 pounds sterling. The gold coinage ol France in 1882 amounted to 3.742.00 C francs, and tho silver coinage tc 7,159,859 francs. Mr. Burchard, di rector of the Philadelphia mint, put? the total paper circulation of the thirty eight principal countries at $3,832,920,- 903; the gold circulation at $3,333,- 113,000. and the silver coin at $2,712,220,000. The London Times finds that the number of watches manufactured in England is yearly becoming less and less, and traces the cause of the do cline to the use of new ideas and in ventions by workmen both in America and Switzerland. "In America," il says, "everything is done on a largt scale, while we still stick to the methods of our forefathers. Here the different parts of a watch are made iD different shops, or different portions ol the country, and trotted about froir one to the other. In America a com plete watch is made in one building One American house alone made 201,- 000 watches last year, while our tota' production was not more than 175,- 000." Returns to the United States bureau of statistics continue to show a marked decrease in the number of immigrants arriving in this country compared with the statistics for the last and previous years. Germany, though still sending a third of the immigrants who come to the shores of the United States, shows tho notable decrease, Ireland coining next. The percentage of fal ling off is in the neighborhood of forty per cent in each case. This shows that the influences by which it is sought to deter immigration are still prevalent in Fatherland. However, there is a falling off in all nationalities, though none are so marked as those named. As all Rocky Mountaineers know, Chinamen and gamblers arrive simul taneously at booming mining camps, and soon constitute more than one-hall of the rapidly growing male popula tion. The Chinamen wash, cook and clean for the gamblers, whose reckless generosity with cash soon enables the Chinamen to sail through the Golden Gate homewards. Naturally, such a population will produce strange social results. In Butte, Montana, there are three distinct sets, the "swellest" being led by a gray-eyed young lady named Jeannette Emerson, who teaches school, and whose father retails bad whisky in a shanty saloon. There are 7000 peo ple in Butte, of whom 1000 are China men. Saloons occupy the best business locations, and gambling goes on openly in nearly all of them.

It's swelled, and it makes him so lame he can hardly walk." "Bathe it in coal oil," said the old lady; "I'll guarantee you it'll cure it." Another one said, — "My Sarah has such a dreadful pain between the eyes." "Well, all she's got to do is to rub it well with coal oil three or four times a day, and it'll cure her," hastily re marked the old lady.

M" e s., w ii e\ May 23,18Kt: "I have used Hunt's Y'e nely in my family for over ten years. My wife was troubled with catarrh of the bladder, suffered intense pain in the kidneys and !oin, and urination was accomplished with the g of agony. My friends thought thst rhe could not recover. We tried doc tors ar.d medicine -, and better at times she would grow worse again. She was obliged to use the urinal as many at fifteen times in a right, and was growing wo r se daily. At this time my attention was called to Hunt's i Remedy, an 11 concluded to try it; and after ' ning one bott'e she w is a good del better, the inf!ainmati< n was reduced, and the water more natural. Hhe began to gain in appetite and fe't no pain in the l ack and kidneys. She conld attend to her honseho'd work without rin, ard this had been a great burden to do, even the ligl.t -st kind of work. After using six 1 ottles she was completely cured. Since then I have had occaron to use Hunt's Remedy for kidney a id liver com plaints, and found it to be just as represented, and I consider it a most wonderful medicine. I would not be without Hunt's Remedy in my family; and I have recommended it to my friends here in Orange with equally good results." A Quick Recovery. It gives us great p'easure to state that the merchant who was reported bring at the point of death from an attack of pneumonia, has entirely recoverel by the use of Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lu igs. Naturally he feels grateful for the benefits derived from using this remedy, for the lungs and throat; and in giving publicity to this sta'ement ws are actuated by motives of public benefa. tion, trusting that others may be benefited in a bimilar manner.
