otherwise than temporary measure Q
the banks !; and we can scarcely err il
believing that the period must soon ar
rive when all that are solvent viii redeem
their issues in gold and silver. Dealing
abroad naturally depend on resources ant
prosperity at home. If The debt Of ou
merchants has accnm ulated, or their cred
it is impaired, these are fluctuations al
ways incident TO extensive or exirayaganI
mercantile transactions. But the ulti.
mate security Of such obligations does neI
admit of question. They are guaranteed
BY the resources Of a country, the fruits
Of whose industry afford abundant means
Of ampl5i liquidation, aBd by'ihs evident
interest Of every merchant TO sustain a
credit, hitherto high, by promptly applying
these means for its preservation.

Cured which require me to ask your con-
sideration of such serious topics. I could
have wished thai, IN making my fssl

Since it is otherwise. we can only ceel

bles us to afford. The treasury depart
ment, on several former occasions, has
suggested the propriety and Importance
of uniform law concerning the bank

such law, salutary check may doubt

the following
Sixteen $40 bills purportng to be of the

and dated July 5, Aug. A, and September,
1885. They are of various numbers
generally between 400 and l6OO-one
was as high as 5l,657.
Thirty-eight 800 bills of the Marine
Bank of Baltimore, letter A, dated in April
and September, 1894, '25 and $50, and
nearly all payable to G. c. Miller. These
notes are also of different numbers from
6 up to 49S.
In his wallet was also found ten 800
bills on the same bank, same letter, and Of
various numbers between 30 and 400.
The whole amount found on this dealer
was $4,000.
2. Benjamin +. Shepard. This gentle.
mans stock in trade consisted of,
One SIS bill of the u. s. Bank, payable
at New.Oreans, No. 3707, and dated
May Oath, 1882.
One $40 Brockville bill, letter A, and
dated September 3, 1895.
3. John J. Martin. On this fellow was
found the following:
Five 500 bills of the Marine bank of
Baltimore, also ofletter A. and the numbers
between 81 and 40l.
Two $40 bills of u. s. Bank, letter H,
dated July l., 1884, and Aug. 1885, and
numbered 1869 and 1900.
One Ss5 bill on the Bank of Virginia,
payable at Richmond, letter G. No. 6246,
and dated 9th May. 1882.
The amount on this fellow was 1925.
Total stock of the trio, $500.
The public, it is expected, will be on their

The editor who would ask such ques-

shore, and it is very evident that his ex.
change list is incomplete in not receiving the
renowned Chronicle ofthat place. To en-
tighten him on the subject, it is only neces-
sary to say that Bungtown forms one point
of an obscure triangle, Saccarapp and
Naugu's head completing it. To be more
particuar-these three villages are boun.
ded on the west by downing, on the east by
sunrise on the north by sea-green and
sky-blue. Bungtown has long been celc.

hit upon the following plan of operations
that he should return just at dusk--the time

on behalf of Mr.. Wrinkle for the ensuing
evening at the same hour. Having made
this arrangement with great despatch he
assisted Mary in the long deferred occupa-
ton of shaking the carpets,
II is not half as inass1et "a thing as it
seems, that shaking little pieces of carpet
at least there can be no harm in the sha-
king, but the folding is very insidious
process. So long as the shaking lasts, and
the two parties are kept the carpets length
apart, it is as innocent an amusement as
can well be devised, but when the folding
begins, and the distance between them grad.
ually lessened from one half its former
length to quarter, then to an eighth, and
then to sixteenth, and then to thirty
second, if the carpet be long enough, it be.
comes dangerous. We do not know to
nicely how many pieces of carpet were
folded in this instance, but we can venture
to state that as many pieces as there were
so many times did Sam kiss the pretty
housemaid."
