United States mints. A mint of the United States was established in Philadelphia, Pa., by act of Congress in April, 1792, and began to coin money the next year, but it was not until January, 1795, that it was put into full operation. It was the only mint until 1835, when other mints were established at Charlotte, N. C., Dahlonega, Ga., and New Orleans, La. In 1854 another was located at San Francisco, Cal., and in 1870 at Carson City, Nev., and shortly after at Denver, Col., although no minting has ever been done at the latter place, only assaying. The mints at Charlotte, N. C., and Dahlonega, Ga., were discontinued in 1861. See coinage; mint, first American. United States of America

anizing the Woman's Relief Corps of Massachusetts early in 1879, from which emanated the Union board. The last-named organization ultimately came to embrace the States of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut, and at the convention at Denver, Col., in July, 1883, became the basis of the national association. Meanwhile, the work had been started at the West by the efforts of Mrs. Kate B. Sherwood, of Toledo, O. In 1877 this lady interested a number of her sex in the relief work of the Gt missionary centre for the extension of woman's work in the Grand Army, and when the Denver convention met, 140 auxiliaries, in nine States, had been organized through the direct efforts of the president of the Toledo society, Mrs. Sherwood. At Denver, when the proposition of forming a national union of these auxiliary societies, East and West, was made, there was some difference of opinion as to the form of the work. The Grand Army delegates generally favored the plan of secret work, but the

edness to the citizens of the United States, so fast as it becomes due, into the Treasury of the Territory, where it will remain on deposit till the close of hostilities. These deposits will be charged ten per cent. per annum, and the faith, credit, and public property of the whole Territory are pledged for their security. As we have thus far maintained a neutral position with regard to the difficulties now pending, I would counsel a moderate course. Let our action be on the defensive only; and for the better defence of the Territory, I would advise the arming of the Arrapahoes and other tribes of friendly Indians. In the mean time I earnestly invoke the cooperation of all good citizens in the measures hereby adopted for the successful retention of valuables in this Territory, and to secure happiness and prosperity throughout our country. Done at Denver, this 21st day of May, A. D. 1861. L. W. Bliss, Acting Governor, Jefferson Territory. --National Intelligencer, June 18.
