customs relative to the guano islands apper-
tanning to the United States. TO the circu-

Iaiaujs bonded under act Of August is,
1896, and the attention Of collectors is di-

proper enforcement Of the laws regulating
intercourse Herewith.
The law requires that no guano shall be
taken from the said islands, rocks, or keys,
EXCEPT for the use Of citizens Of the United
States, or Of persons resident therein. The
act Of July 1866 partially suspended this
prohibition. The law also provides that
the Introduction Of gnano from said islands,
rocks, Or keys, shall be regulated as the
CoartIng trade between the different ports
of the United States, and the same laws
shah govern the vessels concerned therein.
ANA as the laws CT the Uuted States forbid
foreign vessels from engaging in the coast
ing trade, and commercial Intercourse

trade, collectors are requested to use all vlgl-
lance to prevent any infraction of any law
or regulation on the subject. The list mum

MONEY FOR THE SoUTH.-Mr. Forney, in
his Washington Chronicle, publishes an
elaborate letter upon the subject of the ez-
cess of money at the North, and the fine
fields for investment at the South. Com
menting upon the tables he quotes, he says
Here, apart from the picture of the
prosperity of the working classes Of the
North, stands the fact that there are nearly
three hundred millions of money on de-
post in part of the savings banks of only
eight of the old States-a fund which, it il
truly said, is only waiting for perfect secu-
rity for investment in the South to be
transferred, the most Of it, to that more
profitable field of labor. These are the
classes who are to build up and restore that
interesting section, even as they build up
and enrich themselves"

place, were returning from McComb
in turning a corner, their carriage
was upset, throwing them both out

and the wrist dislocsted, which will

some time. Mr.. Fullerton was more
fortunate. escaping with few bruises.
The horses started for a good run,
but were stopped after doing some
considerable damage to the carriage.
The same afternoon Messrs. John
c. Martin and S. III. Darst were re.
turning from the same place, when
within short distance of town, they
stopped for the purpose of lighting
their cigars. Mr.. Darst got out,
while Mr.. M. remained sitting in the
carriage, and while lighting match,
one of the horses became frightened,
and whirling suddenly round, threw
Mr.. NJ. from the carriage, bruising
him considerably, and then started
at headlong rate, until they both
fell-carriage and horses heaped in
promiscuous ruin. The carriage was
smashed to "smithereenS," as an
Irishman would express it. MIR.
Martins escape was providential, and
Mr.. Darst realized the fact that in
such case absence of body is better
than presence of mind.
