Col. S. S. Goode, who formerly resided
in Decatur, was made Colonel of the Dist
Illinois infantry at Nation, and was sub
sequently dropped by Governor Yates, to
give place to Colonel (now Lieutenant Gen.
sraD Grant We find in the Decatur Qll.)
Tribune quite a romantic story about him:
at seems that after undergoing many
strange and startling vicissitudes of life, and
bufeting the dark waves of adversely and
misfortune, he has at length become wealthy
and titled gentleman. BY the death Of
his cousin, Sir Jasper Goode, who died at
York, England he has fallen heir to es-
iates, the rental of which amounts annually
TO $4,000 sterling, and also succeeds to the
title inheritance.
"The incidents and adventures through
which this singular individual-now Sir
Samuel S. Goode-has passed, would fill a
large yellow covered volume. At the age cf
nineteen he was midshipman in the Texan
nayy--then engaged in the war of indepen-
dence with Mexico-and was promoted to
lieutenant in three months, for cutting out
Mexican bungo under the guns Of the Cita-
del of Vera Cruz.

Undeterred, however, by his narrow es-
cape, he next embarked in Walkers first
expedition; from this he also managed to
escape, after passing through untold perils
and sufierings. As all our readers are al

A Bull ON me Ice.

From the St Louis Republican,
About 9 o'clock yesterday morning, a
large bull, which had become separated
from a herd on the other side Of the river,
stepped forth on the ice and made for the
City of St. Louis, walking straightforward
with dignified mien, and a look generally
very much like that of Numidian lion.
His neck was about a yard wide and foot
in thickness, and the frmness with which
be tread the brittle highway on which he
had embarked clearly indicated to the be-
holder that he was a bull with win. At the
same time that the bull set out for this side
of the river, serious looking thick set gen.
tleman, from Illinois, set out from this side
for the Illinois shore. He saw the bull ap-
preaching at a short distance and liked his
looks, thought he was bull that behaved
himself ON the ice, molesting no one, and
showing by the sober expression Of his
countenance that he had sense and pluck.
He calculated that the animal would turn
aside a little when they met, but on APP
preaching very closely he found that the
monster was lowering his horrid head for an
attack.
Being thick-set and short-legged, he was
not naturally good runner, but the flaming
wrath he saw in the bulls eye, the uplifting
of his long, straight tail, and the shaking Of
his terrible neck, sickened his heart and he
turned TO fee As the bull turned TO give
chase, tina perilous situation of the fugitive
produced feeling of intense anxiety and
excitement on the part of spectators at a safe
distance. The wild beast was upon him In
a second, and the manner in which he was
lifted from his heels and hurled aloft some

ludicrous and amusing spectacle to the
crowd, though the unfortunate victim, no
doubt, had his eyes closed, and was uttering
prayer for his own salvation while under
going the lofty tumbling. Taking the seat
of the mans pantaloons squarely between
his horns the mad animal tossed him help
lessly high over head, TO the distance, as
stated by some, of three or four times the
mans perpendicular height. Alighting in
about the same posture in which he went
up, he sat for a while picture of utter dis
may. He soon recovered his wits, however,
and, strangely enough, was found to be only
slightly bruised.
The bull rushed madly on, and presently
encountered another man, whose name, as
we are informed, is J. +. Miller, who re-
ceived serious injuries. Instead of running,
ne tried to take the bull by the horns and
give battle. One of the horns of the in
furiated beast was thrust directly into his
eye, tearing it from its socket The animal
finally reached the levee, and instead of
being shot was driven out Elm street, and
thence out Clark avenue to some stock-yard.
Miller was picked up in partially insensi-
BILE condition, and was taken to a room on
the leyee, where he was attended by DIR.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

WILMINGTON ID. C.. Feb. Is. 1880.

An impression seems to prevail in the
public mind that the same rigid rules
and regulations prescribed by the Treas
ury of the United States for the redemp-
ton of mutilated Treasury and United
States notes are applicable 10 the re-
demption of mutilated bank notes. This
is mistake. Although circular issued
TO National Banks from this Office, con-
tanning suggestions on this subject,
recognized the propriety, in some in
stances, of redeeming mutilated notes at
less than their face value, the intention
was. to leave the matter mainly to the
discretion of the officers of the banks
In order, however, to make the matter
perfectly clear, and to obviate for the
future all necessity for explanatory
letters, / now propose briefly to state
that experience has demonstrated the in
expediency, if not the illegality, of allow
irg fractional valuations OF mntiiated
notes besides which, it coniuses and
complicates our accounts to such
degree as 70 render the plan imprac-
ticable. A. bank is bound TO redeem its
notes on demand. The fact that a per
ton of one of its promissory notes IS torn
of, or missing, does not cancel this OBJ
legation, so long as there is no reason to
believe that the missing portions Of the
note can or will be used 70 defraud.

GERMAN NATIONAL BANK.-This instr
tuition, which went into operation during
the beginning of the present week, seems
TO have met with all the success that Its
most sanguine friends could desire. This,
however. is no wonder, for the officers OF
this bank are all well and fayorably
known in this city, and the stockholders
are Memphians and among our most
prominent citizens, The interest that is
consequently felt for the German Ma
tional Bank in this community is alone
of itself enough to warrant its success
beyond doubt When, however, the
competency and sterling business quail
fications of the officers is thrown in the
balance this bank becomes second to
none in the country Jno. Ainslie, Esq.
the clever and talented President, Us well
known as having been for several years
the popular Cashier of the Commercial
Bank of Tennessee and decidedly one OF
our most popular citizens. Nathan Co
roma, the Yiee-Presdent, is one Of our
most enterprising and thorough business
men. He is the head of the firm
of Corona, Taussig & Co, and is one OF
the leading men of our commercial COM
munity. Martin Griffin, the Cashier, is
we'll known to everybody in Memphis, as
one of the most competent gentlemen for
that position that could have been Sc
lected. He is esteemed and respected by
all who know him for his urbanity and
gentlemanly qualities He was for over
two years the cashier of the Memphis
Custom House. J. ]. Jenny, the paying
teller, is one of our oldest and most re-
spected citizens. He has lived among
us for upwards Of twenty-five years, the
writer of this having known him for
twenty years, and always found him the
same genial whole-souled gentleman
one who has always occupied the highest
commercial position, and acknowledged
as one of our best business men. Fred.
L. Warner, the general book-keeper, is
one of our most esteemed and popular
young men. He has held the position in
other banks, and has filled several Offices
of trust and honor in the. gift Of his feb
low-citizens. He is keen and shrewd
book-keeper, and has host of friends
in this city. We repeat, with such men
the German National Bank is bound to
flourish, as one Of. our most popular
banking institutions, whose success m
every point is beyond the shadow of
doubt.
