The Washington Union says that the Secretary OF
the Treasury, the LIST of January last, has sent
upwards of twelve millions Of dollars New Orleans
an amount unprecedented since the government
was organized-and all without the loss Of single
dollar, and at average expense (inclUding all
charges not exceeding quarter per cent All this
has been done under a new system, In specie, and
without the aid of banks. The labor and response
bty thus devoved on the Secretary Of the Treasury
far exceed any thing that has been witnessed IN
that department since the government was organized
In the arduous, and difficult, and most responsible
task which Mr.. Walker has to perform under the new
system of the constitutional treasury, and which, we
Think has been put into successful operation by him,
that officer would seem to merit the support OF all
good men in his financial labors. and in supplying
the sinews of war, which essential as brilliant
victories to uphold the honor Of the country.

Ask Henry Clay. ask any distinguished wing
statesman how he, if elected the Presidency, will
act in relation TO the tariff and a national bank and
he will answer, General Taylor answers, that he
has not made up his mind.-LOuiSriHe Journal.
So the federal wings are going to play dumby
again before the election, they As strong eff
fort is making to get Clay nominated again, we doubt
not that a game similar to that of 1910 will be at
tempted to be played. mo principles for the public
eye," will be the game while the federal press will
favor or disfavor their particular locali-
ties may seem to demand. We have fears of the
American people being again bamboozed by this trick

on Providence.

Of the truth Of Mr.. Wright travelling on the Sab

his clectioneering, honorably even, on Sunday, we
don't believe one word Of it. But the Express makes
no charge Of connecting and circulating infamous
forged handbilIs the eve Of the election-such
was done in the case to which we allude. If the
wings party will not assist in ferreting out ant
exposing the rascay author of that infamous forgery

Benedict Arnold's treason--then they must bear ii

The Wabash Express thus notices the late call for
volunteers. lis complimentary notice of Col Lane
is Just and deserved:
MORE MEN WANTED.-By an extra from the Office
of the State Journal, that Col. Jas. H. Lane,
of Lawrenceburgh late of the UafaheriTg Third re-
giment of Indiana volunteers at Buena Vista, has
permission to raise regiment of volunteer infantry,
to be formed principally from those who have already
been in the service IN Mexico, and such others may
be necessary to complete his rank and file. We be-
lieve it is admitted that Col. Lanes regiment
WE'LL if not better disciplined than any that has come
of the late service, and though breasting the
verest shocks of BATTLE lost fewer than any 9TH
err on the terrific battlefield of Angostura. This fact
will be inducement for volunteers to flock his
standard, as under him, they to be properly
qualified, and if any fighting is going on, he is sure
to be there. His severe discipline will make bis re-
gment invncibe, and if they get into battle will
come out of it with unfadng laurels. In the late
fight, Col. Lane and his stood the leaden hail and
flashing lance like statues of iron-not man leaving
his post of danger and great per and after the bat
tle we understand the Colonel had more men than
when he went into the action, his loss being made W
by those who left other companies for their greater
security under has protection. We presume Col. l.
will have no trouble in making up his complement ii
a short time.

ScoUNDRELs-There must be an extraordinary LOT
of scuundrels in ST. Louis; or the teio remarka-
bly, busy and successful. Every paper from that city
and we get them daily, furnishes accounts of various
degrees of rascality Probably the sickly season al
the south has sent many of them abroad. An active
police and exemplary punishment should be resorted
to; and we would caution citizens to be on the
lookout for visit from these gentry. Remember, II
is but a few days since an attempt at burglary was
made.

weeks since containing the basest alsehoods against
the Indiana Volunteers. All we desire is. tina those
who do not feel willing to endorse the ISLANDERS on
our brave volunteers, will discourage the sale of such
a work. 1t shows degree of hardihood in the pub

GREAT FAILUEE.-By Telegraph we learn of the
failure of the hitherto great firm of Prime, Ward
King & Co. of New York. This failure was, we be-
lIeve, In some way connected and sustained by the
Barring Brothers. They were the heaviest stock deal
in this country; and what effect it will have
the banks, II is impossible to f0resee. As this great
gambling system Of banking and brokering has
ny ramifcations, no man knows the moment of a
grand explosion. That it is not far distant, signif-
cant sgns too plainly develop; and it will be well
for sound banks, if any such there are to be on their
guard. At least, we hope the people will look well
to 1t. And FIRST, it TO our readers TO caution
them against holding too much Ohio paper. Der
State is flooded with the trash; and those who would
be safe from loss will do well to remember this eau
ton. Our farmers, if they will demand it, can Just
easily have the gold and silver for their produce
and we advise them to do So II is the currency of
the counry-the real Jacksonian, constitutional cur
rency; ant the only one that will not explode and be-
come worthless while taking nap.
1t is said that the failure alluded to was brought
about by the failure of large houses in Europe Per-
haps it is true. 1t is known, also, that large num-
Der Of English houses have failed and a very heavy
amount of bills returned to this country We have
seen the amount Of four millions stated. 1t is not
likely that this all falls on house in this country
and how many others are to fall with the mammoth,
remains to be seen; and how many more "of the
same sort' remain to be heard from in Europe, is

New York CRY. August ID, 1917.
To the Editors of the Daily Atlas:
DEAR SIRs Perhaps you may have noticed in
some of the New York papers a statement concern
ing the remarkable powers of a mathematician in
that city, who adds, subtracts, mulpes divides and
performs all other arithmetca calculations with
pidity that seems almost miraculous. As 1 am that
person, will endeavOr 10 give you correct state
ment Of the facts, which | hope you will publish.
First Let column of figures, say 5000 in length
and 10 ~ in breadth, be placed before me, and in
less than five seconds of time will give the sum to-
tai, always commencing the left hand side to write
the answer down. II matters not what the length OF
the column is, or what the BREADTH will give the
sum total fast the figures be written
down. Second Let a sum be written, IN multi
plication, with thousand figures the mutplier,
and many in the muItlplicand, aud | commence on
the left hand side, and write the product underneath
all in line. as fast as the figures can be written
down. Thirdly; Let u be written in division,
with any large amount for divisor, and commence
writing the remainder first then the quoent. lnte
rest, at any per CENT be performed in the same
manner, without using any extra figures. Fractions
of every denomination can be summed up instantly
without reducing them to denominator. These rules
can be learned in one half hour by any person having
the printed instructions. Please insert this in you
paper, also stating that any person wishing thes'
rules will enclose SO through the New York post
office. Please forward me one paper which will con
tain this, and on receipt thereof will forward you
full set of the rules (ee gratis) by which you may
become expert figures | am.
am your humble and obedent servant,

girl about 30 years of age in the house. During Fri
day. Mrs. Morrison fell into fit, to which she has
been subject for some years, when Sarah Cher step
daughter seized club and pounded her till life was
extinct. She then put her into the Fireplace and
kndled fire around her, which she diligently sup
piled with fuel until the remains of the old lady were
almost entirely consumed. Hardly handful of bones
was to be found Sarah then escaped for the woods.
The next day a relation of Mrs. M. and a neighbor,
Mr.. Whetaker, called at the house some business,
and surprised to find things in such plight with
no one present The smell caused him suspect that
something desperate had happened. He called to the
neighbors for aid, and proceeded at to nves
tigatiOn of the matter. Sarah was found about two

a simple creature, and the neighbors who have known
her say that she is at times deranged.
