The SILVER GLUT IN CANADA
They are troubled in Canada with an
excess Of silver. The cause and
the remedy are the subject OF an ar
ticle in the Toronto Leader, which
discourses as follows:
1T is well known that we were not
troubled with silver before the Amer
lean w2r commenced, out as soon q
the paper currency OF the S'a e he
came deprecated, and would not pass
in Canada, we began to find Amer;c N
silver pouring into the country -
Gold became an object OF spccula
ton; every one knew it must advance
in price, aud rs consequence the
Americans brought silver in large
quantities into this proyince, and
after exchanging it for bills, drew
gold from Che banks with which t.
speculate in the New York market
American silver became abundant il
Canada at once. The banks soon
found it necessary TO refuse TO tax;
silver from their customers at par Oh
Deposit; this stopped to great ex
tent the direct influx, and the banks
have found it necessary ever since to
regulate the rate of discount relative
to the abundance Of silver in the
market. The price Of gold in New
York continues higher than that o.
silver. the difference being never
less than three per cent, and gen
orally ouch more, VARYING according
TO the demand for gold from the i'm
portcrs. 1t, therefore, became /:
matter of speculation with the Amer
lean dealer to t,-y silver in Eev
York and pay it out to US, as he real
ICES from three to five per cent. oil
the money alone in the transaction
This circumstance keeps up a con
slant but gradual influx of silver int
this country, and accounts for th,
large quantities nov ~ csrea,atiol
here. So long As silver is taken a
par by us, and the above d;Exrenc,
in the price Of silver and gold il
the New York market continues, tn
country will be flooded gith silver.

RAPIDITY OF TnoUGHT IN DREAM
ING.-A very remarkable circum-
stance, on an important point of an
aiogv. is TO be found in the extreme
rapidity with which the mental OPP
eratlons are performed, or rather
with which the material changes on
which the ideas depend are excited,
in the hemispherical ganglia. 1t
would appear as if a whole series of
acts, that would really occupy long
lapse of time, pass ideally through
the mind at one instant. We haze
In dreams no true perception of the
lapse of time-a strange property of
mind; for, if such be also its proper
ty when entered into the eternal dis
embodied state, time will appear TO
us eternity. The relations Of space
as well as of time are also annihila-
ted; SO that, while almost an eterni-
ty is compressed into a moment. in
finite space is traversed more swiftly
than by real thought. There are
numerous illustrations of this prin-
ciple on record. A gentleman
dreamed that be had enlisted as q
sollier. joined his regiment, desert
ed, was appiehended, carried back,
tried, condemned TO be shot, and at
last led out .or execution After all
the usual preparations, a gun was
fred; lie awokc with the report, and
found that noise in the adjoining
room had at the same moment plo-
duced the dream and awakened him.
Another gentleman dreampt that he
crossed the Atlantic, and spent d
fortnight in Europe. In embarking,
on his return, lie fell into the sea,
and, awakening in the fright. found
that he Lad not been asleep ten
minutes.
