The .history of money in our country dates from the lignite, shells, wampum, etc., of the abori gines down to the present highly artistic coins of the United States Mint. Thus in money, as in com merce, agriculture and the arts, the advancement from great rude ness to comparative perfection ex cites our wonder. To trace the progress of any art from its rude origin up to the period of its pres eut perfection, is an agreeable task, and it is peculiarly gratifying to be able to contemplate the re sults of the inventiveness and in genuity of mankind, gradually pro gressing and finally triumphing over all obstacles to complete suc cess. A coin, find it where we may, is an index to the people who originally issued it and truly indi cative of their state of civilisation, i whatever it may have been, and whether a shell, a bead, or a piece of load, copper, silver, or gold has been the standaid or measure ofiper, and moss-agate, some not a value. ' The earliest knowledge we have , of aboriginal coins or money in j Oregon is derived from the evi-1 dences of it exhumed from tho , T1 My encrinite, a fossil be mounds that skirt the waters of j longing to the family cri7ioidea, is the Columbia aud Willamette riv-1 funtl " gr-at numbers in tho ers. In these mounds have been found relics similar to those of the Eastern world. The specimens of aboriginal coins or money discov ered at Oregon City, The Dalles and Sauvie's Island are composed of lignite, bone, shells, mica, pearl, carnelian, chalcedony, agate, jas- per, copper, lead and iron, which were fashioned into forms evincing' a skill in art of which the descend- tc r !, oV,n,;,,0c r,TO c.r. lVJ V4. bWW IVVUilillUJ WWII 49U1 I ... vivmg are entirely ignorant, the first medium of circulation as money among the aborigines is be lieved by antiquarians to have been formed from the three sub stances first named. These speci mens are frequently exhumed, and are found in possession of the na tive Indians of Oregon down to the present day. The specimens of shell coins or currency occur in lanre 'ouantities in every aboriginal mound. They are made from shells of the unio, or fresh-water clam, up to the hugh j sea conch. The pieces most com mon are from small spiral shells; but thfi most valiiahli was a sne- cies of dentalium.

Single shells were shown on the Lower Columbia for which the owner refused a dollar apiece. This shell was the universal cur rency through an extensive district. Among the craves of the abor- 2 h-v the lndians were the primitive igines, the plowshare turns up hu- . co,ns mentioned, which were worth man relics, bringing to light large !less t0 the fur traders who in turn quantities of pearls, and at the assumed the leaver as the unit in same time disclosing what were.values- vl,en Oregon oecame their depositories.

Alas! considered a legal tender, time and exposure to the damps of T have made th's study a voritc the earth have rendered them very . for -vear-s' and have collected many fragile, and hence they are easily i rarc specimens. I have here brief peeled into lamime, sometimes, j sketched what are denominated however, reaching a kernel by this the abongmal coins -or money of process which is sound and bril- i 0reSon and which I believe to liant.

Specimens of stone money occur in quantities in the mounds in the vicinity of The Dalles, Oregon City, and Sauvie's island, especial ly the latter locality, the delta of the Willamette river. Since the constant navigation by all classes of steamboats, the island has been constantly washing aw:ry and caused an undue erosion of the banks for man' rods, thus laying bare one of the richest localities of aborigiual specimens upon our coast. They are composed of jasper, quartz, agate, chalcedony, and occasionally carnelian. The most common specimens found are wrought from sandstone and slate, in mauy instances very high ly polished, and sometimes figured 1 over with hieroglyphics and other designs. I have found in this lo cality some very rare diminutive and highly carved mortars and pestles, miniature scrapers, chisels, hatchets, sinkers, and vast quan tities of darts of chalcedony, jas- quarter of an inch in length, and for general structure, accuracy of finish and polish, thev will defy the world to compete. rocks of the Silurian system up ward, and occurs plentifully in many of the aboriginal mounds. This animal petrifaction is formed of long jointed stems, composed of calcareous divisions or plates close ly fitting each other. A single fossil of this species contains the enormous number oi one nunttrea and fift.v thousand pieces. They are generally found separate, and it is these divisions of the stems which are denominated cntrochites and screw stones, and in the north of England fairy stones and St. Cuthbcrt's beads. In this wonder ful result of nature, the aborigine had a coin or currency proporly fashioned and beautifully orna-J mentod without the labor of design or workmanship, and from the care ! with which it was preserved ho i 1 i ti ......1 ' ,nust ,,avc mSmi' appreciaicu u.

The first notices of Indians of Oregon that we have are by Van couver, whose voyage was per formed in 1792, and others of a later date asrree with him that the universal money or currencj' used j premium we would have to pay lo protect ourselves against accident is trifling compared with the cost an accident would entail. And speaking if that, listen to what ' General Wright, Chief of Engi- neers of the Thited States Army, savs in his annual report, which will be submitted shortly. The ; copj I have is an advance one; the report has not yet been made 1 public: "Xo one acquainted with our history can hesitate to as cribe much of the wantonness and duration of wrongs we have en dured to a knowledge on the part of other nations of the scantiness and inefficiency of our naval forces and harbor defenses.' In another part he says: "It concerns the honor of the United States when involved in controversy with other Powers, to be able to appeal to the sword, but that appeal should be accompanied by the conscious n ess wou by of inferiority may at present exist, though the adversary be a compa ratively weaker Power.' General "Wright's remarks on that head are eminently applicable to us at this moment in respect to our present diplomatic relations with Chile. fact remains that through their! , t .. . ironclads they are in a position to J that the weapon annealed to Mi Health Keneuvr.
