its members differing from the general bo-

A Harrisburg correspondent Of the Phi
ladeIphia Inquirer, speaking of the debt
and interest due on the lst of May last,
says find that it is true that the inter.
est aud principal are still unpaid, owing to
the loan authorized by the last Legislature,
and advertised for BY the Governor, not
having been taken. 1t is the five per cent.
lonn of June, ls4l. Amount $3.50, 600.
The interest on it viii be paid on the first
Of August next, and the principal will be
paid by new certificates of stock, bearing
an interest of SIX per cent. dated June LIST,
IS4l, the day the loan became due. The
difficulty that was anticipated from the is
sues of the notes under the revenue law,
has not been realized. The banks pay a
large proportion of the loan in their "on
demand notes, and reserve for their own
use the small notes. This course is high
II satisfactory to all, and especially to those
who have large amounts TO get from the
Commonwealth. The non-acccptng banks
have been called upon TO loan the State I'M
der the act of 1924, several hundred thou
sand dollars, to pay interest to loans due in
August, or to make up deficiency that
has occurred in consequence of some of
the Banks refusing the late law. The loan
will no doubt be demanded in coin from the

il strikes Us that there is great analogy
between the characteristics Of John VI.
Adams and Edmund Burke; for though up
on great occasions, the latter was one Of
the most eloquent uen that ever sat in the
British Senate, he had, nevertheless, as
much as any man, the faculty of firing his
auditors. During the latter years of his
life, the failing gained upon him so much,
that he frequently dispersed the House,
which procured him the nickname of the
Dinner Bel.
The following idea of Mr.. Burke, attri-
buted to him by Gen. Fitzpatrick, assmii-
ates him a good deal to Mr.. Adams. Ask
any person in the House, said he, who is
the best informed man. The answer will
