Commercial. 1 find myself this morning in a novel predictment, amusing, if one philosophical enough to look at the amusing side of it, but at the tame time vary annoying. We are brought to a halt here by a rail road wreck, and are likely to be detained here for at least a day. I have my family with me, and naturally there are expenses to pay. I have in my pocket a number of coins, made of gold and bearing the stamp of the United Htatis Government, in certification of their weight and fineness.

These coins are American $10 and $20 gold pieces, and if I were in England or Germany or Russia or India, or anywhere else in the world except right here in I should find my money readily current at its nominal and actual value, because the two are everywhere known to be Identical. But here in Placquemine, a little town whose people are direct descendants of Longfellow's Acadians, ay American gold is uncurrent money 1 I first encountered this state of things last night when I offered gold to the porter of the Pullman car in payment for my berths. That worthy politely refused it on tbe ground' that "that kind o' money ain't good out here, sah." I remonstrated with him, and told him that American gold ws worth its face every where, because the gold in it, merely as gold, is worth the amount of very nearly the face value of the piece. He -was deaf to argument of that kind, and so I expounded the law ti him, and quoted the provision making the gold coin of the United mates legal tender" in payment of all debts. Itt 'was -equally useless.

The porter knew i nothing about legal tender laws or standards of value, or any thing of the kind; he only knew, or thought he knew, that gold coins were bad and un current money in this quarter of the coun try, and he would' hare none of them. managed to scrape together enough silver, eked, out nickels, to pay for the berths, and decided in my own mind that the' porter must have got hold of a coun terfeit gold coin, and, finding it bad, must have concluded that all gold was bad money. This mornine I have learned better. Find ing ourselves stopped here, I ordered breakfast from the buffet, and, after eat ing, set out to have some of my gold changed into bills or silver at the shops of the town. Alas I the shop-keepers of the place, even including the saloon men, were like-minded with the porter.

One and all were persuaded that gold was not good money, and with one mind they refused to take it. I offered to "treat all round" at a saloon If bar-keeper would take a five dollar cold piece In payment and give me change, but he declined. I asked if the genuineness ot my gold was doubted, thinking that might be the trouble, bat I was assured that all gold was refused in the town, and one man, a mer chant, told me be believed there had been "some Government action on the subject which made gold no longer of any account." Finally, one man came to my rescue and gave me silver In return for a five dollar gold piece, saying that the gold might, perhaps, "go for something in New Orleans." He did it very muoh as he might have given five dollars to a human being in distress, and I could see that he had very little hope of ever getting any thiDgout of the bright new gold piece which I had drawn a few days before from the London and Ban Francisco bank, in full faith that the gold coins of my coun try were the best and surest possible representatives of value any where to be found. I am still without any explana tion of the phenomenon, but it is a fact worth recording, that American gold coin la not current money In Placquemine, La. FraehmM la the German Capital.
