OVER EIGHT PER CENT INTEREST

in currency, and are Of equal convenience as per

1t is believed that securities offer great in
duccments to lenders rs the various descriptions Of
L. 5. Bonds, In all other forms Of Indebtedness,
the faith ability of private parties or stock com
panics or separate communities only is pledged for
payment, while for the debts of the United States
the whole property of the country is holden to
cure the payment of both principal and interest in
coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in from
$50 up to any magnitude OH the same terms and
thus made equally available to the smallest lender
and the largest capitalist They can be converted
into money at any moment and the holder will have
the benefit of the interest.
1t may be useful to state in this connection that
the total Funded Debt of the United States on which
interest is payable in gold, the Sd day of March,
o6i, SOS 900. The interest this debt for
the coming fiscal year will by S4593 ,laG, while the
customs revenue in gold for the current fiscal year,
ending June 30th lsG has been far at the rate of
over 100 100000 per annuin.
1t will be that the present gold revenues
of the Govern. cent are largely in excess OF the
wants of the Treasurer for the payment Of gold in
tcrest while the recent increase of the tariff will
doubtless raise the annual receipts from customs on
the same amount of importations, to Slj9,ooo,ooo
per annum.
Instructions to the National Banks acting as loan

How GENERAL GRANT FIRST ENTERED THE
SERVICE FOR THE PRESENT WAR.-Never was
the question, Man proposes, but God disposes,
more strlkingly exemphfed than in the follow
ing anecdote of General Grant:
At the commencement of the rebellion, an
Illinois Representative called upon Governor
Yates to recommend TO him Grant as fit
person for military position. The Governor
had received applications from some men over
six feet in hight and of muscular frames, and,
therefore, curiously eyed The small man, attired
in homespun, that stood before him as an
applicant He then asked his grounds for
making the application.
Il was educated at West Point" said Grant,
"at the country's expense. | served in Mexico,
and when went out to Oregon, | thought l
had returned TO the country al equivalent for
nv education. and | resigned The country is
now in trouble, and | wish to serve her in her
need"
Governor Yates had no appointment for him,
and he therefore left.
A short time after this occurrence, the
Governor was very much distressed in regard
to the raising of the qnoa of the State. He
had plenty Of offers for officers positions, but
be personally did not know the minuti9 OF
regimental organizations-ho how many prvates
composed company, or how many subOrdina' e
officers there should be 10 a regiment. In bis
distress, he asked the Representative if that
plain little man TO whom be had been introduced
knew anything OF those matters. The Repre-
sentative replied BY bringing Grant into the
Governors presence.
DO you understand the organization OF
troops?" inquired the Governor.
The reply was in the affirmative.
"Will you accept desk in my office for
that purpose? was The next question.
Anything TO serve my country, was
Grants reply.
And to work he at once wen:. And but for
this Grant might still be unknown to the
world. By bis energy Illinois became noted
for the speed with which she filed her quota.
