giants Of Old The price was to pay the
person who proposed to put the skeleton to-
gether was to have been 1925.
But finding Tom Thumb more successful
than thought, I send word not to proceed
with the skeleton. My manager, who
never thought as highly of the scheme as it
deserved, sold the skeleton for $50 or $75.
Seven years afterward ! received from the
South an account of gigantic skeleton that
had been found. Accompanying it were
the certificates Of scientific and medical men
as to the genuineness. The owner asked
$2O,O or 81 900 a month; | wrote to him
if he brought it on I would take it if found
as represented, or would pay his expenses
if not; found it was my own old original
humbug come back to me again; of course
refused it. and never heard of it afterward.

The Stock Banks are daily lessenng their
circulation, by sending it TO the Auditor for
collection. By this process they are ena-
bled to replace exchange with which to re-
deem an amount Of notes equal to the
amount cancelled, so that every thousand
which is cancelled, furnishes means to re-
deem another thousand dollars.
Although some Of five per cent. bonds
were taken above their present stock mar
ket value, yet the accumulating interest up
on them, and the amount of coin required
TO be kept by each bank, together with the
individual liability of stockholders, make it
the interest of every bank to pay the last
dollar of its issues. In no case has issues
Of notes been made 10 greater amount than
FOR which securities have been taken. The
law Iorbids il, and it has been strictly OBJ
served. In many cases The bonds are great
er in amount than the issues.
Judge Bowen, of the Central Bank, be-
ing called upon, stated that by fair con-
struction Of law, as it was practiced, and as
he understood it, whenever any Of the Sc
curties deprecated in value, the Auditor
was bound to call for additional depositcs
of stock. and that whenever he had called
upon the Bank they had promptly respond
ed and furnished the required security.
The indianapolis Journal, referring to
this meeting, says:
"Our citizens feel the utmost confidence
in these Institutions, and will, we DO not
doubt, continue to receive the money in the
transaction of their business. Those who
control these banks, are returning their cir
culation to the Auditor as fast as possible,
and within a very short time currency will
be TOO scarce 10 do the business of the coun-
| try.
No person holding this money ought tc
, sacrifice single cent on it--and where peo,
pie will rot receive it in discharge of an in
debtedncss, why, let them keep cool until
they can do better!
In very short time the panic will be
over, and all will go smoothly again"
In the meanwhile, the people, by means
of panic makers, who have sought to bring
about this state of things, have been skinned
most savagely and unnecessarily.

AUTUMN LEAVES.
Oh, autumn leavesl

Oh, autumn leaves
Summers bright roses one by one have past,
Gone is the beauty of fhe golden sheaves;
Ye come at last,
Prophets of winter hours approaching fast!
Oh, autumn leaves
Why lock we thus so brilliant in decay?
Why, for the dying year when nature grieves,
Are ye so gay?
With richer hues than graced her opening day'
Oh, autumn leaves!
Ye, as We don your crimson robes of mirth,
While dull decay a moment scarce reprieves
Your forms from earth
Ye tell us, happier far is death than birth!
Oh. autumn leaves!
Like youthe dying saint in splendor grows;
With each FAINT pulse of life thatfeeby heaves
At evenings close,
His every grace with added glory glows.
Oh, autumn leaves!
Like you, he casts aside all hues Of gloom,
And of his frightening hopes a chaplet weaves
That o'er his tomb
Throws the glad promise of eternal bloom.
Boughs are daily rihed
By the gusty thieves,
And the Book of Nature
Getteth short of leaves.

Russian Account of the Battle OF Alma

Subjoined is the account Of the battle Of
Alma by the Russian commanders, it being
an extract from the dispatch of Prince
Menschikoff. 1t will be found vastly differ
ent from the flaming accounts of the Eng
lish and French journals, and well worthy
of consideration.
The Journal dc 81. PetcsLurg announces
the battle Of the Alma in these terms:
General Prince Menschikoff has given
an account to the Emperor that on the Goth,
the English French forces, having made a
descent on the Crimea, approached the po-
sition we occupied Oh the Alma, near the
village Of Bournou. Our troops for sew
eral hours repulsed the stubborn attacks of
the enemy, but being menaceI on both
flanks by the numerous forces Of the lat
ter, and in particular by the ships OF the
line, they were marched towards evening
across the river Katcha, and the next day
took up position in front Of Seba,topol.-
After having adopted all the measures ne
cessary for the defence, Prince Menschi-
koff was preparing to oppose the enemy
with vigor."
Prince Paskeiwitch published the follow
ing report of the same battle at Warsaw, on
the 3D.:
"On the 2oh Sept. (N. S, rencounter
took place between our troops and those o
! the allies on the banks the Alma. Prince
Menschikofr realizing his plan of campaign
of only engaging the combat with the van
guard, and falling back on SebastopoI, lee
the troops under his orders to the approach
es of the fortress, and there took up a strong
position. We have lost thousand men
in killed and wounded, but the enemy hav
ing attacked us in our intrenchments, ans
under the fire of all our batteries, must havt
successiyely sustained much more consider
able losses"

The Women of Russia.


The Russian ladies', like other ladies Of
rank in many European countries. who are
bred in the lap of luxury. employ and prac-
tce all the attractive and seductive arts
which most enchant society, They have
muoh viyacity orfnind, grace Of manner, and
display the most exquisite taste in every
thing appertaining 20 dress. The charms
which captiyo,e, and the amable qualities
that win the admiration of the public, are
not, however, certain indications of private
happiness. The domestic virtues are little
cultivated or little known in Russia. Mar
riage is mere matter Of convenience and
money, and as soon as the children oi a no
Die house have been sent as hostages to one
of the schools or colleges under the control
Of the government, the lord and lady often
become estranged in their affection. Each
may occupy their separate apartments, and
keep up their separate establishments. The
master INDUCES his peculiar tastes and
pleasures, withou: reference TO his lady, and
li!G IUlNlTteS pIutllltN hCl NIlIlls dllu NlslICs
without interruption from her lord. In the
wealth or corruption, the ignorance or the
desttuton, which marks the divisions OF ar
stocratic society marriage is often the point
where female virtue begins or ends. The
Russian mother or the Russian maid, the
first of noble, the last Of servile state, will
equally excmpliiy the deprayity Of these
extremes. II the one has essayed legal mar
riage before illicit love, the other has known
Illicit love before legal marriage. Wedlock
gives license 10 the one, while it restrains
the other and the princess and the peasant
girl, though they differ in degree, are alike
the victims OF the same eerrors--errors which
have their origin as well in the extreme cor
ruption as in the extreme destitution Of So
ciety There is little Of romance in the char
acter or conduct OF the Russian lady. In
trigue and sensuality, rather than sentiment
or passion, guide her in her amours and
these, in after life, are followed with other
nclinations. She becomes greedy game
ster and great gourmand, gross in person,
masculine in views, i shrewd observer Of
