Anecdote of Bishop Bsscom.

Mr.. Bascom travelled two years in the
mountainous region of Kentucky. The
country was rough and the people general
ly poor. But the romantic wildness of the
country was congenial to his feelings, and
he enjoyed the rude hospitality of the sim
cere hearted toresters. Al-t-t-4. IL
He used to tell, with much apparent
pleasure, of dinner he enjoyed with par
ticular satisfaction, He was preaching on
one occasion in a cabin, which was at once
church and dwelling. The people were
listening with seriousness and deep atten-
tion to the truths of the gospel, when, in
the very midst of his sermon, his host, who
sat near the do6f, suddenly rose from his
seat, snatched the gun from its wooden
brackets upon which it lay against the
joist, went hastily out fired it off, and re-
turning, put the gun in iE place and quiet
]y seated himself to heaI the remainder OF
the sermon.
The whole affair had hardly consumed as
much time as it requires to read this ac-
count of it, and in a very few moments all
was going on as smoothly as if no interrupt
tion had occurred. After service was end
ed, Bascom inquired of the man the mean
ing of this strange conduct.
Sir" said he, 1--WE are entirely out OF
meat, and was perplexed to know what
we should give you for dinner, and iJ was
preventing me from enjoying the sermon,
| when the Good One sent flock of wild
turkeys this way; happened to see them,
took my gun and killed two at a shot my
mind felt easy, and 1 enjoyed the remain
der of the sermon with perfect satisfaction
A YOUNG son of retired merchant down
the river, whose parents reside in one of
those pripcely mansions on, the Hudson,
opposite the Palisades, took it into his head,
the other day, to make a kite. Rumaging
about the house in search of paper to make
it, his eyes accidentally fell upon number
of seven thirties, which had been carelessly
left in an unlocked desk. 'Twas but the
work of few moments to lay them out on
the kite sticks, and short time thereafter
seven -thirties took sudden rise, going
over the Palisades. Luckily they came
down safely, and have been converted. We
do not remember the time when Govern
ment securities were so high.-Poughkeep-
sic Eagle. D.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
Winter, in this climate, is trying season.
Its unsteady temperature greatly aggra-
Yates dyspepsia, and acts very unfavorablv
upou that sensitive organ. the liver. The
alienation of frost and tlaw keeps the
pores Of the body continually opening and
contracting, and the result is, a condition
of the system favorable to the action of
the atmospheric virus which produces in
termittent fevcrs. Hence protective mo-
dicinc, like BOSTETTERS STOMACH
BITTERS, is especially needed in The win
ter months. The effect Of this great Con
stltutional Invigorant, in rcnderins even
the fcchlest frame impcrvious 10 all mala
1ous influences, is a grand fact demon
strated by the uniform experience of
quarter of & century. As astomachic. an
anti-bilious medicine, and aprevenlive ana
cure OF Fever and Aguc, it is the one thing
nccdful, which none who value the pre-
servation of health can afford to do With
out.
The sick, when at DEATHS door. regret
that they did not take the rg1A 6,.iidote at
the right time Thousands who are now
suffering from the early twingcs OF liver

THE NATIONAL nERr.

To the Editors Of the Union and Dispatch
Mr.. Jay Cooke, the champion of national
banks, and the same individual who saws a
national debt is national blessing, makes
comparisons between national banks and
State banks. We accept the issue, and ere
prepared to show that the Stateba were
of great benefit to the State, and that ma
tiOual banks are positive edsadyantaee.
The State banks issned large amount of
paper that was loaned literally to traders.
manufacturers and dealers in the products
of the country, and they loaned on per-
sonal security-a mans honor and that of
his friends was then worth something to
him; the people had a market at their
doors for any and every thing they raised !;
the paper of the State banks circulated as
money, and if State bank did break now
and then, the wealth Of the country was
developed with its money while It was
good-railroads were built, lands opened
and worked, iRanalaetaries erected houses
built--all these improvements are still in
possession Of the people.
What is the condition of things now :?
The national banks take money on de-
posit, and instead of loaning il on personal
security TO the people, they invest in gov
ernment bonds and get the gold interest on
them, which interest is paid by the people
In the shape OF enormous taxes on their
property, on their labor, their occupations
and on every transaction they make by
stamps-while the paper money they issue
ia furnished them by the government and
called national currency. This paper
they will loan in small sums on collateral
security, al short time at one per cent. a
month, and in addition TO this one per
cent, they receive from the government
six per cent. in gold on the bonds they
deposit with the government. Is il any
wonder Mr.. Jay Cooke, and all other ad.
vocates for aud owners of national banks
should hang on TO the national bank
system?
The people of the United States want
thenational debt paid--ersrq5 cent OF a., but
they want it paid in the Kind of money
they have TO take from each other, ans
they want it Paid in way that willnot 10,
fate the currency or disturb values, anC
this can be done by paying the bonds il
| greenbacks as they fall due, and in th'
meantime the taxation OF the country car
be reduced one hall. and in less than sever
wears the iehole debt can be paid, and ths
immense army of tax-gatherers disbanded
their salaries stopped, and this load o
taxation lifted off the shoulders of the suf
fering country.
! lf the national banks want to pontinu,
business they can bank greenhacks, and !
| the country gets tired of greenbaclSs, am
the people SO wiA II, the government can, BY
a very light tax, call them in and establish
| State banks again. kINDEx.
