The Public Debt.

An analysis of the statement of the public
debt published yesterday, shows that although
during the month of April the total debt has
been increased by s5l6l ,724, amounting now to
$266S, ,s75,00S, the cash in the Treasury has in
creased by ss,7s4, ,235 making net reduction
of S3,622 511 from the amount still to be raised
for the extinguishment of the debt. The new
$50 loan has been taken during the month to
the extent of Sal .5s4, ,15O, while ss2s11 955 in
7-3O's have been paid or converted. OF COM
pounds "a, ,243,1 40 have been paid, but on the
other hand $2,SO9, $40 have been issued in gold
certificates. The volume of currency has been
diminished by the imperceptible of 81 ,160,-
562 in greenbaeks and $242,115 in fractional
currency. ,.tS artg
The increase in cash has been chiefly in gold,
for the purpose Of meeting the May payments
of interest, which have already commenced.
The coin interest due on the 1st instant on the
5-20s of 1862, 1864 and the first issue of
1866, amounted to $24,OO0,0OO. To meet this
drain Secretary MeCulloch had in the Treas
ury $114, 10000 in gold. The 5-20's of 1862
held abroad Count up to nearly S2S0,O00,000
and with small lots of 1864 and 1865 held in
England, will require about S8, 100000 gold in
terest. Nearly all the coupons from abroad
are remitted to New York and there collected.
In November, when the last semi-annual pay
ment fell due, the New York Office of the
Treasury paid $16,5OO,OOO; the other offices, at
Washington, Philadelphia and Boston, paid
out about $7,500,O00. These large payment
have been discounted in advance as usual, and
the gold market is not now affected by them

We left ST. Louis in the distance

Appropos of the above, quite a
singular incident. A lady got aboard
the boat at st. Louis, from some
place in Montana, and another lady,
with her husband, from some place in
Arkansas. Last night, In conversation,
a name was mentioned by the lady
from Arkansas, and singularly
enough, the lady from Montana, knew
a person by that name In Montana.
Now for the " singular incident. ;"
Nine years ago the daughter of the
Arkansas lady married respectable
gentleman. They were blessed with
one child, boy. Two years after
they were married, the husband start
ed to seek fortune and a home for
his family. For the first year they
heard from him regularly by. letter,
but since that time (six years. moth
ing had been heard from him. The
person whom the Montana lady knew
in Montana was the husband who left
Arkansas seven years ago, That the
mother and the lady should meet
thus far away from the home of eth
er, and in strange place, is one of
the most mysterious evidences of a
kind Providence. s1
