NAruRE AND HUMAN NAruRR--Ye Yesterday a gen
teman who happened to be on board one Of the ships
n mort took fancy to very sapient little monkey
that had been imported from Brazil by one of the
sailors. '
This monkey had been taught number of antics
with i pocket kerchief aroand his neck he would
initiate the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, by throwing
somersets over the Bible. He would squint his left
optic like James Gordon Bennett, and would strut
about covered with piece of tarpaulin in imitation
Of Horace Gree.y. he could roll a wheebarrow full
of apples like Major Ben Perly Poore, and curl his
moustaches like Col. Fremont. The sailor who owned
him was an Irishman, and swore that same monkey
was a g rara acis ~
The gentleman seeing such an intelligent creature,
bought him as pet for his lady, and took the mon
key home. Young Jocko seemed rather like one be-
side himself at finding himself suddenly changed from
. rough forecaste to splendid salon in our West
End.H He was no sooner introduced into the family
than he jumped up on the center table, upset and
broke o number Of fancy ornaments and antique
vases. He then rushed at all the ladies, tore their
dresses and their hair scratched the faces of some of
the children bit the nurses, and threw glass ink
stand at his own appearance in the looking glass,
a deed now to be remembered by star.
Loud cries Of " fire." " murder" etc., ETC., were
heard all over the house. till up came big negro with
q broomstick. After rapid chase, smart blow laid
the sapient monkey low and as dead as door nail
Thus ended the fancy for monkey pets of the nauti
cal sapient kind Savannah Journal.

man in Miffiin- county who would not under
any circumstances be willing to take bank
note Issued under and being mortgage on
well-known farm. To make this plain, let us
shew the condition in which it would stand.
A farm assessed at $4,000 would be proha-
bly, worth $4,000 or S15,0 900, and be mort
gagged for the redemption of $500 of notes.
which is all that could be issued under il
This mortgage would be held by the State for
the security of the note-hoIder, and whenever
the bank failed to fulfill it's promises the State
authorities would foreelose the mortgage, sell
the farm, and pay the note-holders. The
same proceeding would take place with stocks.
The objection might be made that real es-
tate would not answer, because such a pro
ceedlng would debar sale, and make the
owner mere tenant. That is his own look
out-if he don't like the business, he need
not embark in il. The advantage however in
adding real estate it is contended BY the ad-
vocates Of this feature, is, that it would have
the effect of keeping wild cat" institutions
out of the interior. Most Of our government
stocks are held in Europe and the large cities,
where they are used at the stockboards in the
same way that dice and cards are used in
gambling hels. Few of our inland inhabi-
tants would go to the cities for the purpose of
purchasing stocks to establish bank: while
on the other hand some speculator or adven-
turer would take hold of the matter as they
have IN the western states, establish banks at
the most inaccessible points, and thus prove
anything but an advantage to the community.
The subject at all events is worthy of refec-
ton, and having plainly stated the case, we
leave our readers to form their own deduc-
tons
