orders three hundred dollars, and there is one
from st. Paul, Minnesota, for twelve thou
sand five hundred. Here lies one from Potts
town, Pa, for one thousand dollars, and an
other from Pittsburg, for seventy-fve thou
sand. Along comes a telegram from Norris
town for two hundred and fifty dollars and
close upon the messengers heels comes an
other with q dispatch from New York for two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Near one
of the desks is a nursery maid who wants
bond for fifty dollars, and just behind her,
placidly waiting his turn, is portly gentle
man-one of the ''solid men, of Philadelphia
at whom you can scarcely look without
having visions of plethoric pocket, books and
heavy balances in the bank. He wants twen-
ty-fve thousand dollars And so the great
currents of orders constantly stream il the
letters accumulating Oh the desks in quires,
the telegraph messengers always huTying to
and fro, and our city people passing in and
out from the counters in a never ending pro-
cesson.
In the midst of all this may be seen the
agent of the government receiving visitors,
answering questions, giving directions, and
pencil in hand footing up the enormous ag-
gregates. Before him you see certificate
OF deposit into the treasury, made previous to
twelve O'Clock, for a quarter of million,
another made at two o'clock for halt a mil
lion, and close by are two of Lis trusty aids
making up third package of four hundred
thousand dollars, swelling the amount of
treasury deposits for the day toseleven hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.
This is no fancy sketch, but a truthful de-
scription of real transactions, as witnessed by
the writer within the last twenty-four hours,
n tba ilra of
which might have been seen there by any one
else, at any time within the last two weeks
The truth is, the scenes to be observed there
nowadays are so active and inspiring, that
there is no need whatever for exaggeration.
The people are at last alive to the value of the
investment which has been so long within
their reach. Whatever misgivings they may
have had in the dark days OF the war, they
have all passed away, and they are now laying
their treasures on the altar of their country,
with patriotic confidence and generous hands
