public generally of the fact, and to solicit their
encouragement. His institution will be known

will not be representedby something tangible and
substantial in the shape of Gold and Silver, Drafts
on the United States Treasury, Northern Ex-
change, or Virginia Bankable Funds.
BY strict adherence to a legitimate issue upon
such basis, ii will readily be perceived that the
public are protected, and the bank itself made to
stand ON the surest foundation. This enterprise
is entered upon after the maturest elaboration,
and il is gratifying to know that it meets with the
approval of experienced and sngacious inanciers
of Now York, Washington and Richmond

the patriarch of the tribe accompanied
them to the station, where he took leave

sence Of mind entirely-her veil thrown
back in despair, she cast herself upon his
bosom, conoealing her face in his venera
BILE white beard, and uttering cries that
melted the hearts of bystanders that heard
her. ~ os
One feature of this parting was remar-
kable a young peasant woman of Ann
boise had been the wet nurse of little
Arab child, and was now to take leave OF
tho helpless infant whom she had tended.
till from half dying plant, it had become
strong and healthy, and full of life. For
more than a quarter of an hour the mo-
ther of the babe and its nurse remained in
an agony Of grief. mutually embracing
and consoling each other, while the inno'
cent object of their care wept for compa-
ny. At length the poor, 'sobbing French
woman tore herself away, and the train
moved off. bearing away foreverhe che
rished nursing and its grateful but sor-
rowing parents.
Many of the children in ABIDE -kader's
suite, died soon after their arrival, and the
influence of the moist climate on all the
attendants was felt severely by persons
accustomed to 60 half clothed and with

mournful scenes to go through. as the lit

THE MONEY BoY. OR AFRICAN WoN-
DER-This is one of the strangest freaks
of nature that we have ever witnessed.,r-
The African Wonder, as it is called, rep
resents a being presenting so peculiar an
affinity between the human species and
the monkey tribe, as without any previous
knowledge of its history, to puzzle ma
turalist in the effort at identification
Its neck, chin, mouth and nose, are those
of human being, while the comparative
ly small conformation of the head, with
its retreating frontal bones, depressed
temporal, pointed occiput, peculiar ply
siognomical characteristic, represents a
close affinity to the monkey tribe. 1t is
about SO inches in height when erect, but
usually goes on all fours. The actions of
this strange being partake in every res
pect of the class to which it so closely al
lies, the highest order of animals and is
upon the whole, one of those wonderful
freaks of nature which opens wide range
for speculation or credulity, and continues
the chain of being by graduation aught
but flattering to our species.-0hGrIeston
