MONEY MATTERs.-The Boston Mail state,
that the money market in Boston continues
to be more stringent than it has been known
before, since the great crash Of 1887. With
in the past week, as high as five per cent per
month has been paid for money, on notes as
unexceptionable as any in the city, and it was
hard to procure it even at that. The ease in
the money market on account Of the u. 5.
Loan, and the Railroad dividends, so confident
y predicted by some writers of money arti-
cles" for newspapers, has turned out false
prediction altogether. Strange that men will
catch at such poor straws, when the real cause
Of the pressure is SO obvious, and so potent
that all little expedents for relief fall before it
like the young saplngs before a hurricane
There can be no positive relief to the business
of the country until there is a positive change
in the measures of the government. There is
not specie enough in the country to form ba-
sis for the business of the country. even under
the elongation which it receives by the issue Of
bank bills. There is no way of obtaining such
a specie basis except by diminishing the i'm
ports and increasing the exports of the coun-
try. There is no way of diminishing the i'm
ports, except by tariff which shall give the
markets of the country to the domestic instead
of the foreigd manufacturer. People may
wriggle, and twist, and multiply expedients,
in order to get rid Of the bad effects Of bad pol
icy but those effects will come upon them
with tenfold force when the day of reckoning
is forced home in spite of their exertions to
avoid it. How much better to apply the PLAIN
and obvious remedy now, than attempt to re-
store life TO the business of the country after it
is dead and buried

down with them, when the ioness darted up,
and with savage feroci,y seized him by the
neck, tearing the scalp off the back part of his
head, and irlghtiully decorating his neck with
her faags. During this time the lion had
thrown himself across the body of the unfortu-
nate man, as # to oyerppwcr him. Shrieks
arose from the spectators, and instantly rush
was made to the entrance. Another keeper,
selzng piece of iron, Instantly made for the
den, and, with much effect, struck both brutes
over the head. They ran from the wounded
keeper, who was then removed. His death
was expccted.-Enghh paper.
