A IRISF a gITORY OF AMRtI-,
The Washington correspondent of the I
Chicago tribune indulges an the follow
ing remminIseas, wlhich will be found 1
reulable in this juwletre :
Currency in Ameriae began with o
baeco, corn, wampum, etc., all relog~
nisaa by diff rent eolonial oonrts.
1645 Virginia adopted the Spanish eiver
coinage for currency, and soon after a
mint was set up in Massaehusetta. Pa
per money was first insued in Mass- a
cbsetts in 14 0 sad BSouth arotlinst
crested bank in 170. PlaNmylvamni
issued paper money in 1718, but Vir- a
ginia never did prior to the war of iade- a
pendence. e
TE a'vOLwVIONArY F'mo.
Then came the Continentrl money in
May, 1785, which did not depreciate up I
to the isme of $9,000.000, and was well
maintained until the subsidence of the
triumph over Bu oy waptu. 1
luat the whbole X0.00,000 wa wuth
in silver only ,500,000. In 1781 con- t
gres offered to give new money for the 1
old, at the rate of one dollar for forty, c
sand thens both saunk in om day to noth
ing. In 1781-the war still going on, I
congrese chartered the bank of North c
America, which began the following
year, and declarel dividends of from i
12 to 16 per cent. per annum. Penn- a
sylvanis repealed the charter of this f
bank, but it refused to close up, claim- I
ing a natimi patertby. The general '
constitution then came into play, for- 
biddin any state to coin mosey, enit
bills of eredit, make any thing but gold
and silver coin a tender in ua ent of a
debts, or pass any law itmim the r
obligation of contracts. This left un
said the light or want of right of eon
gresa to establish a matis1 , al-i
though JIoI tteOy i at )be rih.

such a beak, and the a inet divided i

In January 1838, the treasury wassd
bankrupt ; but this stopped the distri 1m

Biddle's bank followed him into retire

beanks of nearly half the union. Yet, as
late as January, 1840 this chimera re
turned its assets at 874,000,000. and its
liabilities at onaly 7,0000000. It sold
fietielou bills in Europe, and thus ra

Dissecting a Docstrs ilL
About three months ago, Jasob
man's wife in Detroit was somewht ill,
and th aght a doetor ought to be sat
Sto her; so he called at a Daetot i
o oree and requested the physiesa to go
a out to his house. The call was made a
a ,rencnrition left with Mrs ., ad either
, the meicine was er eetnal A re.
Swaas not very shick wer he alled
I the next day, she informed him that
e she was all cured, and he used not o
i ay more. Last Monday, Jeobreivs d
e by mail a bill from Dr. Z., "Due foree
e medical services, $18.7."
g Jacob studied a long time over that
Sbill and showed it to his wife, sad
e studied over it with her; but the moee
e he looked at it, sad thought shot it,
the more it seemed to him that there
I must be a mistake. The next
a he called at the doctor's o0e6, bill
e ,sand, and found the proprietr
d there, waiting to hearof omeone
i- iag from green corn, or one of the
r prevalent diseases.
e Mr. Milehman laid his hat down
: fully, handed the bill to Dr. Z., saying
a " YouwasDr. Z., I suppose?
a "Yes, yes, certainly, Mr. Milehmsn,
I sitdown. How is yarwifer
f "O my wife is allright; sh is all
right. You doctered her, eh ?"
h "I ave her some medicine that see
e seemed to work like magi"
e " Ye, so it did, so it did. That was
- your bill, eh?"
e "Yes, but no hurry about it, Mr. to
r Mdlchman; take a little time on it, if -
- you want to ; no hurry." la
f "That was right, was it-41375?" a
d "Let me see; yes, that isthe amoant, wil
d Mr. Milebman; but no hurry about po
k paying it, you know."
aThirteen dollars and seventy-flve
y cents for one visit ! That was pretty ha
if tam dear, don't you think so ?" h
Here the doctor smiles all over in the I
r- most forgiving way, saying : " My dear
a Mr. Milchman, you arc, far out of the eo
a way. For one visit? My dear sir, that a
e is the way with the unprofesmonal s ed
a mind. I assure you when you eethe t
I, items you will agree with me that the wi
a amount is low, sir. very low." ar

The Hsmas.
Reuses is a -at country of the Son- -
dan or Western Central Africa, watred mar
bythe Niger in that part of its cousie sea
where it is known a the Quo ; and saiw
the Hansea language, like French, is a ear
cosmopolitan tongue, in which traders
and diplomatists of many contries are
accustomed to convese when they are pou
on their travels. The sultan of Hasm ama
was once a great monarch; but Othma, by
the famous prophet of the Fole or old
Felatahe, eobquered their country, and boa
made one of their towns, Sokoto, be ten
capital of a military empire, which is at tello
present beginning to deeay. A o-like
rvine of Hasy called KL s, evea
always preserved itsindepuence. The sa
most important city of Haues, and, in
deed, of negro Afrie, is Kano, inhbi- aM
ted by Hnames, and governed by te of
tabs. It is known for its manufature his
of indigo-dyed eloths, and the Slds far
and wide round the eity are covered a
with cotton-plants, displaying their
beautiful yellow flowers, or white-tudsd
seed-vessels. Immense qutities of Vi
cloth are exported from Kane to Tim- y.
bIetoo, and even across the desert to for
Morocco and Tripoli. The imports are fa
various, and the market in a celebrated
sight. There one may see Manchester
dry-goods, Shefeld cutlery, red cloth P&m
