Washington, Aug. 3. -Experiments with pure nickel and aluminum as substitutes for tho present nickel p eces and ono and two cent bronze pieces will be made at tho mints by order of Director Preston during Sep tember or October. A resolution was passed by tho house of representatives authorizing such experiments. There is somo doubt whether tho actual adoption of a new metal for the minor coins will be recommended at an early date by tho treas ury officials, oven if the experiments prove successful. The objection to a change in any form of coins or notes Is tho disposition of tho public to re fuse the old forms and insist upon hav ing the new. This would drive into the mints for recoinago 814,000,000 In nickel pieces, which aro now in circu iatlon, and 87,500,000 in pennies.

"There is no character that shows the Pennsylvanian feeling so well as Bayard Taylor. Ho was a thorough son of the soil, nis German and Quaker ancestors had been Pennsyl vanian for many generations. He al ways felt that he belonged to the state. He tried to identify himself with it as much as ho could nnd as much as It would let him. He built himself a home in his native valley and tried his best to live there. He wrote novels and ballads to describe its seen es. But his difficulty was not merely that he was forced to say that there was a 'tyranny of public sentiment' there which was against him. His real dif ficulties wero still larger. The whole state rejected him. Its chief city, Philadelphia, would have nothing to do with him. It seemed extraordinary that, after tho state had produced its first great poet and its first really gifted man of letters, of whom any commonwealth might be proud, the state and the city should unite in kick ing him out of doors. "Fortunately for these children who nre so summarily ejected, they aro usually of sufficient ability to bo val ued by other communities. Taylor was of a loyal and honorable nature. He felt that ho belonged to his old home and was always trying to get back, nut, undesired und appreciated by his native stato he sought sympa thy abroad. Germany honored him and he received more encouragement and regard in a few years on the Rhino than ho received in his whole life on tho Delaware. New York adopted him as her son. When he was appointed minister to Berlin Pennsyl vania and Philadelphia were silent but New York gave him a banquet. When his deud body was brought home from Germany New York received him and ho lay in state, with a guard of honor, in her city hall. When he was carried to Kennett square to bo burled his native state was again silent and seemed to be unaware that she was receiving him into her soil." Sydney G. Fisher, in Llppincott's Magazine.
