Filthy Currency.

About fifty thousand dollars worth
of fractional currency, defaced or worn,
is redeemed per day, and an equal
quantity of new issued IN ITS place
The entire amount OF fractional currency
being upwards OF S2l 100000, the re
issue at such rate of new notes for the
whole amount, occurs once only in four
teen months. This period Is entirely
too protracted, for the notes in that time
get dirty. greasy and repulsive to use
Convenience OF the public and a sure
preventive of successful counterfeiting
could be effected by devising method
of redemption and reissue that wouid
renew the outstanding fractional cur
rencv once i'm every six months or
oftener. The expense of this to the
Government would be inconsiderable.
proper standard OF cleanliness could
be established, and all notes below II
paid for taxes or for postage might be
retained. and new ones supplied. Inter

Oil in Jasper a Reality.

1t has now become an established fact,
that there is coal oil in our county.
The Lafayette Company who have been
sinking a well on the farm of Mr. Nathan
Babcocs about three and half miles
south east of this place, began pumping
last Friday, and we are informed by
many of our most reliable citizens who
have visited the well, that the oil comes
up in large quantities. and will no doubt
pay the company well as soon as they
get their machinery arranged to separate
II from the water This well is about
one hundred feet deep.
The Jasper or home J Company We
learn also intends to begin pumping
within a short time. Their prospects
are good although their well is not more
than fifteen feet deep.
The Iroquois Company whose well i:
now near five hundred feet in depth
have very fattering indications. 1t /:
thought that if oil is struck at this depti
it will no doubt be in abundance.-Rens

Just How Ii Is.

One orrr, ent of the ex shareholders
of the South, in advocating the adoption
of a scheme of apprenticeship, which IS
little better than slavery itself, that
they must still take care of the aged ne
oroes. and that therefore, they ought not
to be required to pay able bodied color
cd neople decent wages. This argument
is we'll answered in the following report
of n conversation held by the CORES
pondent of a Cincinnati paper with q
Georgian slave and his master:
Old Ben brought us n watermelon. and
while we were eating. the old chatiel AS
tonished its master by sudden ag%res-

A Surprising Statement.

A telegram from Jackson, Mississippi.
makes the following surprising annonce-
ment+
JACKSON, MISS, Aug. 1S.-The Missis-
sippi Convention have passed resolu.
ton, unanimously, to strike out all
clauses from the States Constitution re-
lating to slaves.
A motion to insert articles forever
prohibiting slavery opposed. Some want
to assert it was abolished by the fortunes
of war and by the United States. Others
want compensation for their slaves.
The resolution will undoubtedly pass.
A motion to send a memorial to the
President, asking that jeff Davis and
Governor Clarke be released on parole,
was strongly opposed, and withdrawn.
The Convention then ordered all de-
bate on the memorial to be strlken from
the Journal.
This is an evidence of common sense,
which we did not hope for in Mississippi.
If this programme is carried out literally
the end OF trouble in the South and
thorugh reconstruction will soon appear
To destroy all remnants of the slave
system in the South, and introduce
clause into the State Constitutions for
ever forbidding slavery, will accomplish
the renovation of the South completely
and all the vexed questions, now before
the people, will be certainly adjusted.
the above is true, it is good news.

Notes on Overwork.

Unwise above many is the man who
considers every hour lost which is not
spent in reading, writing or IN study,
and not more rational is she who thinks
every moment of her time lost which
does not find her sewing. We once
heard a man advise that a book OF some
kind he carried in the pocket, to be used
in case of an unoccupied moment-such
was his practice. He died early and
fatuous. There are women who, after a
hard dav's work. will sit and sew by gas
or candle light until their eyes are al
most blinded, or until certain pains about
the shoulders come on, which are almost
insupportable, and are only driven to
bed by physical incapacity to work any
longer The sleep of the over worked,
like that of those who do not work At all,
is uusatisfying and both alike wake up
in weariuess sadness, and languor, with
an inevitable result, both dying prema-
turely.
Let no one work in pain or WEAKNESS.
When a man is tired, he ought to lie
down until he is fully rested, when, with
renovated strength, the work will be bet
ter done, done the sooner, and done with
a self sus tanned alacrity. The time tax
