ID0Dts1NG REDEMPTIoN.

We chndtrsfAnd that within the last fortnight
a number Of the banks Of this State have viz
tualtr refused to redeem their issues. The
course these institutions pursue when bills arc
presented for rcdemption is as follows: Tie
bills arc first counted, and in manner 20 d.
hberatc as to show that tho consumption Of
the greatest possible amount Of time is tic
leading purpose Of the officers Of the bank
This accomplished, the work Of redemption is
commenced in ton and five cent pieces, which
are counted in the same slow and deliberate
manner in which the bills had been counted,
4 gentleman who had the curiosity to time
tue operation, in one instance, asccrtaincd tic
rate to be about $500 per day. Il little ovcr
thirty.three days would, therefore, be con-
sumed in the redemption Of a package of slo.-
600. Among the ''anks pursuing this course.
we have heard mentioned, the Merchants
Bank at Carni, the Bank Of Illinois, at New
Haven, Gallatin County Bank, the Bank Of the
Republic, r !. Tinklam L Co.'S Bank, and the
Bank at lcLeansboro, Hamilton county, all OF
which, we balieve aro owned in Chicaco-
We arc told that it is a common practice with
many Of the ow1lcrs Of these institutions IL
SCOUT tho city and country for dimes and half
dimes with Which to make show Of redemp.
tion, while practically blocking the wheels Of
that interesting process.
We believe there iR n case now pending before
the Courts Of this State, which is intended to
test tue legality Of this mode Of defeating a
plain requirement Of our banking law. VS.
caunot doub: bu. that tic decision will be ad.
verse to the banks Should it not, the banks
Of the State will be virtually released from all
obligation to redeem their issucs. We look
however for different result. VIC trust the
case will bo pressed to O decision, aud that,
should the courts decide against the "dime
dodge all the banks that have rcsorted to il,
and al that contemplate that or some other
mode ofcvading the law-which two classes VIC
presume includes every bank in the state-
will be promptly forced into redeeming their
issues or into liquidation. If it be possible.
we arc decidedly in favor Of either putting our
currency upon par basis or Of driving it ont
altogether. Tho intcrests Of everybody bnt
the curfency-makers require the realization Of
one or.the other Of these alternatives.

Something New-Tllo myrla.type.

We iud the following description Of Il new in-
vention in the London (Englund) Morning Star:
The invention Of the Myria-type Of u. Com
baricu has been submitted to the government
and accepted for inspection. The marvellous ill.,
yention being destined to operate all immense
and immediate revolution in the art Of printing,
is worth description Hitherto the characters
used in printing have been composed Of mix
ture of lead aud antinlony. These characters,
by re.sun Of their extreme sof,ness, wear out
quickly, aud are, besides, very expensive. They
Are moulded one By oue. The best workmen
can scarcely produce i've thousand of them
day in the rough. They have afterwards to he
flushed up. aud pass through several hands
II. CumbArieu, by an ingen1ously invented MA
cliut, proauees ten thousand Of these cl,arac-
tcrs ut IL stroke. Each letter is then separated
by mechanical saw, which divides them with
mathematical regularity and precision. The
consequence Of this invention will he Increased
production, exactitude amt regularity hitherto

tsrials; reduction (by onc-hali) of the outlay
aud 1T length the one great object an increase
in printing, and an enormous d.1ninutou in the
price Of books! Look now through the vista Of
approaching years, and behold the glorious re-
siit! II. ComLaricu announces his intention of
producing characters on steel, the durability of
which will be beyond calculation.

DODGE or IOWA.

The. Democracy Of Iowa did cruel thing
when they forced General Caesar Augustus
Dodge to show himself again as candidate
for their suffoges. In 1885 he was dislodged
from the Senate by clergyman but his
friends will not let him off till he has been
sonndly beaten by 4 farmer. What depths Of
malice may be stored up for him in their de-
PRAYED hearts, after the present campaign shall
lave Terminated, ne cannot conjecture. Per-
haps they intend to run him for Judge Of Pro-
bate against an editor--in which case, hc
would doubtless come in, Dodge-ashion,

The fact is, Dodge is doing himself injustice.
Politics is not Ills forte. But war is. His
name portends confusion, stern alarums and
the slaughter Of tue tented field. His solourn
among the bloody Castlians has inyigorated
anew his sta1wart arm. HI secs fortress in
every stump. a prize fight in every encounter
with his antagonist, and no end Of carnage in
the 269 nIggcrs Of the commonwealth Of Iowa,
What wonder that be raves like bedlamite

that lie calls on Samuels, s,-Samuels,t the old cam

A new society was organized at Phoenix Hall
on Monday night last, and called the Free
Congregational Socie.y Of Bloomington" and
its main objects are thus stated:
l. To occupy IL position which would permit
the members to get the good aud truth that is
in each OF the sccts, without being tramu,elled
by sense Of obligation to conform to the usag-
es or except the formulas Of any.
.. To be at perfect liberty to change either,
in opinious or practne, rs fust a. may be
required by advancing views Of truth and
duty.
The Rev. Mr.. Adams, an able Unitarian
minister has been hotdng Sabbath service in
the Hail for some weeks past, and this society is
the result. 1t refused to adopt the name of
Unitarian, however, and took that as above
given.

things, truly. The exports Of American bread
stuas amount comparatively to nothing; the
purchases Of foreign goods are doubled in

at the rate of million dollars per week.
The Shareholders will oppose any revision
Of the tariff looking to checking the outflow Of

1t would have the effect Of benefting Eastern

in the village grew apace. Gilbert charged
Miss Bewitt with seducing him, and she de-
clared the seduction was the other way. The

but scarcely had they departed when a tee-
gram from the Admiralty reached the bride

much to their CONSERVATION, 1t soon reached !;
but the order was imperative, and with that
devotion to duty so characteristic of the Brit

and within three hours after his marriage was
rolling along at the rate Of thirty or forty
miles an hour en- route to headquarters, leaving
his better half to return to the shelter OF the
patenal roof till the arrival Of more peaceful
