Secretary Chase is being acted 90 BY
Congress. aud the sub committee Of way
and means are ready to report bill
which carries out the Secretary's view
securing the bsDksble issue of the coan
try By the Uuited States stocks.
1t provides for bank Controller in the
Treasury Department. to be appointed by
the President and Senate, who is to give
a boud of sl00, 600 for the faithful per-
formance OF bis duties, with a salary ol
$4,000. His business will be to manage
all operations OF the bauks uDder :bis act
The bill provides that existing banks
NAV deposit United States stocks ADD pro
bure circulating notes. New banks nay
be formed for the same purpose under
this bill, but their capital stock shall DOT
be less than 100000 and may be for
auy greater amount. All banks that is
sue thi. national currency will te requir
ed to make quarterly reports to the Bank
Controller in Washington.
This currency will be made receivable
for taxes, excises, aud all other dues to
the General Government, except duties oD
imports. New banks that 60 into opera
tiou under this act will be authorized TO
receive deposits. discount bills and notes,
cell exchange, and do all kinds of bank
ing business.
The restrictions which the Com uittee
have throsn around this important meas.
ure are deemed sufficient to guard bill
holders and prevent frauds upon the pub
lie. They require each bank to keep al
ways on hand rs per cent of the amooot
of bills in circulation. They make the
stockholders personally liable to 40 a.
mount equal to the stock held BY them.

WHAT SHALL THEY BE.

BY THE BARD OF THE EAsToN HALL OF FAsHIo
Vile what gifts most fitting, think yon,
For our boys on Christmas dayl
They begin to think they should not
Waste much Of their time in play.
Books, and pamphlets, and newspapers,
They are getting all the while,
Suppose we purchase this year for them,
An entire new suit of Pylel
Mother, what is the most appropriate
For dear fathers Christmas Gift t!
We must hasten 10 select one,
For the days approaching swift,
Snuff box, pipe, and cigar older,
Articles he'd take with smile,
Will not yield him half the comfort,
AS would an overcoat from Pyle.
Sister, for our brother, we must
Get some boon for Chilstm day,
And as money is too precious,
TO be lightly thrown away,
I've been thinking the bes, present
He's received in long while.
And most suitable for this season.
Would be suit Of clothes from Pyle.
AS all lovers, seem to reckon,
Christmas will some token bring
OF remembrance, from their fair ones,
What shall John havel breastpn, ring1
These might possibly give pleasure
TO him, for little while,
But would not be quite as useful,
As the neckties, sold by Pyle.
Many persons appear doubtful,
What investments 'twould be best
To make Of surplus funds this Christmas,
We can set their minds at rest.
For the husbands, sons and brothers,
of to war" at home, and all,
The most serviceabie offe rings,
Can be had at Fashion Hall
A splendid lot of all kinds of Clothing at

The democratic party have been labor
ing for years to prevent and avert the
evils with which the country is now so
fearfully struggling. Their overthrow
was the signal for disruption. A return
ofthe democratic party to power through
out the Northern States would be the
greatest step towards peace and prosperi-
ty. The party that labored so faithfully
to prevent the evil is best calculated to
conduct the country through the evil. A
brilliant line Of democratic successes,
commencing with Connecticut, and going
on to the close of the fall elections, void
be Of more value than q dozen victories
on the battlefield. They would be Of
more value because they would do what
battles can not do-assuage sectional ami

ing Machine in which each stitch is indepen-

out injury to the seam in wear.
3. tits unnecessary to fasten theends Of seams
made by this machine. This is done by the ma
chine itself, without the use Of the hand needle.
A. The Grover Baker stitch is the only one
formed from two ordinary spools, and without
winding from the spool into n shuttle from three
to five times, for the under thread.
5. A seam thus formed is more elastic than
any other mace by a sewing machine, and is
consequently very valuable in all goods that are
to be washed and stretched under the iron.
9. The machine is adapted to all varieties Of
fabrics, serving each equally well, and requiring
no adjustment for any kind of sewing, other
than the adaptation of needles and thread.
z. It is more easily kept in order than any 9th
er machine, and need not be taken apart to DO
oiled.
s. The machine sews common spool cotton,
silk and linen thread with equal facility.
9. The machine is so simple that an intelli-
gent child of ten years can readily learn to ope-
rate and keep 1t in order.
10. BY reason of itssimplicity of construction
and ease of management, it is best adapted to
all the wants of the family.

A SAD CAsE-A TRIPLE BEREAvE-
MENr.-On Wednesday last, as 1t. Van
Arman, of the 5sth Illinois, was passing
near the postoffice, he was accosted by a
youthful woman, who said that, seeing
the figures "5S" on his hat, she hoped
he might be able to tell how she could
get letter to an officer in that regiment.
He said he would be happy to oblige her
if he could. She said she had written
several letters and received no answer.
"What is the name?" inquired 1t. Van
Arman. Lit. Fife" answered the lady.
81 am sorry to say that 1t. Fife is dead ;
he was killed at Pittsburg," said Van
Arman. The effect was terrible. AL
most instantly the lady sunk to the
ground, fainting. When restored her
grief was most distressing. 1t. Fife was
her husband. But, unfortunately, the sad
budget of news was not all told. 1t APP
pears that her father was Captain Kurth,
of Company F, 5sth regiment, and her
uncle was First 1t. Kurth, and her hus-
band Second 1t. of the same regiment.
Her father is now prisoner with the most
of his regiment in the hands of the rebels,
and her uncle was wounded severely in
the engagement. 1t is rarely that such
a concentration of misfortune falls upon
single family. Let those who can feel
for the woes Of the truly distressed seek
out this poor lady, thus bereft of hus-
band, father and uncle, and with gentle
ness contribute consolation to her lacerat-
ed heart Chicago Journal.
