The enlargement Of all business transactions
with the consequent expansive movement In the
currency, necessarily attracts attention. The com.
parisou u frequently made between the present
state Of Affairs and that which preceded the me-
morablo revulsion of 1887. The cases are not pre-
cissly analogous. The expansion previous to 1888!
which wrought by its over-acsion the great Crisis
of that year, was first occasioncd by the enormous
extension of private credits through the agency OF
many Of the eminent banking houses Of Europe;
and which, when the deposits were removed from
the Bank OF the United States to the local banks,
superinduccd that enormous imitation Of the paper
CURRENCY which Afterwards led TO that prostraIion
Of public and private credit felt throughout both
hsmisphsrss:
The eliminating point Of disaster was made
more prominent BY the injudicious policy Of the
Bank Of the United States in its endeavors to effect
. recharter by alternate devices of contraction
and expansion. And from this arose those ele-
ments Of disturbance in the monetary system that
no subsequent measures of prudence or wisdom
could arrest. The body commercial felt the shoe X,
and the blow leveed the wealthiest establishments
Of England and America, and the banks oil this
country followed in their train. For long time
public and private credit sunk to the lowest ebb,
and the contraction OF credit became necessary to
tho healthy re-establishment OF the whole system
of commerce Private credit frat shook off the
manacles Of distrust, and arose from the ruins OF
banks and currency to reconstruct itself, ut
home and abroad, in q new and higher form ofin.
tegrty, until IL reached that point of stability and
State governments were again sought after as
objects Of European investment and security.
From this period we may date new epoch in our
financial history. war with Mexico developed
tho national and individual resources Of the coun
try, and excited the astonishment and admiration
ofthe world. A peace with Mexico brought VI the
rich possessions OF California. Gold In inexhaust-
ible quantities was discovered there, and the
boundless treasures Of this vast region camo to

in the midst Of this important change, and its
processes NO man can thread; but it cannot but be
viewed as beneficial and progressive to American
interests, labor, and industry. The question now
arises, have reached, nearly 30, the point Of
altitude, and consequently are we the eve of

q BALTIMORE, April - 5 p. IN.
A petition, addressed to the Postmaster General
10 in circulation here, and has received the sigma
tures Of many Of business nen, praying for the
removal OF the poet office from The present incom-
modious building to the large, iire-proof, iron
structure in course of erection by the propre-
tors Of the Baltimore SUM- The advantages set
forth in the petition are, that the situation recon-
monded is more central, and, from its location
the principal thorough of the city, more
nient of access. Increased space for the business
Of the post office is also afforded, and the fact of the
building being constructed ofiron gives the amplest
security for the safety Of mail matter in charge Of
the Department. A general desire has prevailed
for some time past among our citizens, and those
connected with the post office, to have its location
changed, and the position now recommended pre-
scnts every advantage that can possibly be de-
sired. All those who know, by practical annoy.
ance, the many disadvantages and insuperablc OBJ
jectons to the present post Office building, will
most heartily acquiesce in the proposed change.
The prize tragedy Of 'sTMohammed' was per-

called for at the close of the play, but the former did
not appear. The latter were received with vocfcr-

AN OLD CAsE.-In 1917 cause OF action arose
ON a bond given by Government purser; suit waa
instituted in the circuit court in 1888, and this has
been postponed from time 10 time, and ia not yet
disposed OF. There is some disposition, however,
TO wipe it from the docket, where il has the honor
Of heading the Lis. of unsettled cases. The tardi-
is attributed, in effect to the General Govern
ment.
PaxvENTIos or CnIME.-Thc Rev. w. r. Eva,
in his address before the Sunday School Union, on
Monday night, referred to the fact that, according
to the experience Of Robert Raikes, the originator
Of Sabbath schools, but out of three thousand of
those who had been his scholars (and they gath
cred from the streets) was arraigncd before a
criminal court; and Mr.. Lancaster had not known
single case in five thousand. According to the
report Of committee raised at the instance of the
House Of Commons, in England, Sabbath schools
had very materially prevented crime and mendi-
cism. This concurrent testimony, in connection
with the experience Of thousands Of persons in our
own country, is eminently worthy of the serious
consideration of all who have the guardianship of
children.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE MALL-Wc have hereto
fore spoken of the contemplated improvements on
the Mall, and of the plan for laying off drives and
gravel walks, planting shade trees, and otherwise
identifying the public grounds skirting the canal.
w thin the last week many Of the young trees
Normandy spruce, maple, catalpas, fir, horsechest-
nut, and large variety of others-have been re-
moved from the Smithsonian Institution enclosure
to triangular plat between Third and Four and
a-half atrects, and there planted in nursery rows
until they shall be required elsewhere. This has
been done with view to have fair field for the
commencement of the plan of improvement; and
from Seventh to Twelfth streets, and within the
square south of tho Presidents House, have al
ready noticed laborers engaged in filling up and
leveng the grounds.

A woe ia on the Nations soul,
And soldier hearts are sad and sore,
AZ thro' the land the tidings roll,
sour gallant BRADY is no more"
Upon his strong and noble frame
The hand Of Time had gently pressed,
And vigorous Youth still seemed enthroned
In all her pride upon his breast.
Thro' twice a score of weary years
His sword hung ever on his thigh,
And down to Lies last tranquil hour
He never passed duty by.
In the red battles fercest blaze
He bravely bathed his conquering blade,
And fearless dashed against the foe
While wars fierce hail around him played.
His virtues, shining clear and bright,
Have long adorned his honorcd life,
And all his private walks and ways
With generous deeds were ever rife.
The eyes of all who knew the man
Read virtue in his very name.
And meath his bold, and searching glance,
Dishonor hid her head in shame.
But fife nor drum no more shall wake
The Warrior from his dreamless sleep-
LIES battle fought, the victory won.
He disappears DER Fame's proud steep.
Then kindly wrap the Nations flag,
Around the Hero's honored clay,
Fit shroud for Soldier such as he,
Who knew no joy save in its ray
And manly eyes may weep to- day,
Az sinks the Patriot to bis rest
The nation held no trusr heart
Than that tohieh beat in BRADY's breast!

From the above figures il will be seen that in the
items and the aggregate the expansion was in 1887
much above that which Is now ruling. Then, look
ing at our exports and imports, the increase Of our
individual and national wealth, the augmented
and augmenting population, the amount Of new
lands brought into cultivation, in consequences of
the extent Of railroad facilities and the vast inter
nal trade of the country we sec the increase Of the
circulating medium bears no proportion in fact to
those elements of growth and power unfolding
themselves in this natural development Of the in
dustry and resources Of the country. Since 1887
the people of this country seem to have learned a
lesson Of prudence and sklful management Of their
concerns; and it may be remembered TO their hon
that since the overwhelming misfortunes Of that
period two great revulsions have passed over Eng
land and the Continent of Europe, both having oc-
Cured within the brief space of four years; and
during all the terrors and approximations arising
from the bankruptcies Of come of the oldest and
well established firms. our merchants manfully
stood their ground; and there were fewer failures
in the mercantile ranks in this country than ever
before known. Such has been the steady and solid
growth of our mercantile credit that those Euro
pean vicissitudes affected not in the least degree
the springs Of American elasticity and prosperity.
