originated in the Knglislt name of

commonly used than the iiatue shiliin
was in lhe olden time. The coin, how"
ever, to which it refers has almost
ceased to circulate, and specimens arc
seldom seen, except in numismatic col-lections.
The fact that Hie silver in a
perfect bit is worth at least twelve or
more cents, hut does not puss for more
than ten cents, has caused them to be
melted and assayed int.. modem coins I
and used for other purposes.
There is one lortu of bit. Which was
once in common use in the South and
West, which lias disappeared so com-1
pletely that my earnest and persistent !
efforts have not enabled me to secure a
specimen, ••,- find one in any of the mi- I
in,Tons collections which I have exaiu- i I.
In the early part of this century, and
up to about thirty years ago, the form
..I bit to which 1 refer was made It)
cutting a Candus silver dollar into
eight pieces, or a half dollar into four
pieces, which were triangular or wedge
shaped, and had a recognized value of
twelve and a ball cents eacl
States currency. At a later period,
American coins were cut and circulated
in the same manner.
1 he use of Una kind of coin arose
from the scarcity of small change, in
frontier countries, and especially about
the government agencies. When an
Indian or trader wanted change of a
smaller denomination than a halt dol-lar,
he placed a coin on an anvil or
stone, and, with a tomahawk, cut a
dollar into eight pieces, with which he
met the emergency and the demands
made OU hi* exchequer.
These wedge-shaped hits were freely
used a* a circulating medium, and 1
saw' tin-in in use until about the year
1>». when the decimal currency of ten
arid live ..111 pieces hill I led I Ill-Ill out
ol sight. Their inc..moment shape
rough edge*, ragged |».iiit.s and cutting
corners made them very objectionable,
ami they aoou fell out of use.
The method by which these bits were
forced into circul.itii.ii and used as
money will la- lvest understood from a
description of distribution or pay ita)
ill an Indian agency. At such period's
the tribes were paid exclusively in sil-ver
dollars ami half dollar., large quan-tities
ol winch wereseiit to the stations
and poets for this purpose. I have
seen at an agency several wagon load*
oi silver coins used to make one reguhu
payment

made up in regular form schedules
..f the members, and these were certi-iici
to by the chief ami the sums paid
by the disbursing agent. It often oc-curred
then, as at the present time,
that white people made a temporary
abode with the Indians, and had the
head ol the lodged which they became
nominal members certify to their hogus

the payments. Alter the lists were
given to the agents, the amounts of
money due to each representative were
placed in convenient piles ,,„ tables.
The Indians st I in line, ami when
the individual name of each was called,

An English writer says :—

they do invitg one another, and ai last
how liny ail do cry, and We have much
to do to tell who did cr.v last." The
word ■• cry" used here i- evidently the
same as our modern word '• bid." The
custom, like many another, has not
wholly died ..ill in Kiigl.in.l. ,s the loi-lowing

in the! onntyoi Dorset. At the annual
letting of th- parish meadow of Broad-way,
near VVeymouih, Which occurred
a levy weeks ago. an inch ot candle was
placed on a piece of wood nine inches
square, and lighted by one of the parish
officers. Tlie biddings were taken down
by one of the parish officers, and the
chance of taking the meadow was oja-n
to all while the candle was burning.
The la.i bidder la-lore the candle weal

Among the customs Used al death is
that sometimes practiced of putting a
plate of *ali and a candle upon the
corpse, and Moresin conjectures that
th. latter "wasan Egyptian hierogly-phic
for lite, meant to express here the
ardenl desire of having the lite of the
deceased prolonged." Among modern
