ROOK NOTICES.

WE frequently see notices of Govern
ment Bonds stolen, and the losses, in
this way, of these securities are becom-
ing greater each month. The coupon
bonds are negotiable by simple transfer,
aud the holder is loTinad Jdcid the owner.
When these bonds are once in the pos
session of thief, it is very difficult to
prevent his realizing on them, and very
little hope that the owner will ever re-
gain pOssessson of them. The "regis-
tered" bonds are all payable to the or
der of the payee and mere possession is
not an evidence of ownership, and a
thief can not realize their value by sell
ing them, or collect the interest on them
as it falls due. These bonds are issued
and payable to the anne of the person
who purchases them, and ho one else
can realize on them until they are regu-
larly transferred ON the books of the
Treasury Department, and are evident
ly secure against loss by theft. The idea
is generally entertained that these re-
gistered bonds are much more trouble
some than the coupon bonds. There is
very little trouble either in changing
coupon bonds into registered bonds, or
in collecting the interest on or transfer
ing the latter. Messrs. Jas. t. Brady
& Co., of Pittsburgh advertise in the
CHRONICLE that they will attend to the
transfer or exchange of these bonds for
their patrons without charge, and we
have no doubt, other bankers will do the
same. The fact that the owner of the
registered bond is secure against loss by
theft or destruction. should be sufficient
to induce at least every person who holds
the cupon bonds as a permenent invest
ment to have themchanged into regis
tered bonds without delay

We hope there is truth in a la tie
report from Rome that, in the fitting
up Of the great hall wherein their
Gcumenical Council is to be held by
the Prelates of the Roman Catholic
Church, no seats have been assigned
to the En- bassadors of the Catholic
Powers. 1t is not often our privi-
lege to admire the doings of the Pa
pacy but, if it has been decided TO
"render unto Cesar the things that
are Casar's"-or rather to let Cae-
sar take care of himself-that is a
righteous and wholesome decision,
whereof the wisdom will soon be ap.
parent.
The more cultivated, intelligent
classes throughout the civilized
world are substanti TALLY united in de-
handing that the Church and the
State shall each ba independent of
the other, each minding its own bus
mess and leaving the other to do the
same. Let the Church admonish,
discipline, excommunicate, as it shall
see fit; let the State do its best to
dispense justice and repress wrong
doing let neither intermeddle with
the peculiar province of the other.
1t will give US great pleasure to be
assured that Rome eoncurs in this
apportionment and segregation of
duties.
And why should she not? "The
world is not her friend, nor the
worlds law" She is not to-day in
hearty accord with any of the tradi-
tionally great Catholic Powers
France, Austria, Spain Italy-we
mean the State-is at odds with her
even little Bavaria lifts up the heel
against her; feeble but "Most Faith
ful Portugal is her only hearty sup
porter. There are probably 100, 600
600 Catholics in Europe, yet there is
no longer single cordially, unre-
servedly Catholic State of any
weight in the balance of power. If
the Papacy is ever to cut loose from
political alliances, now is clearly her
time.
Russia has refused her prelstes lib
srty TO attend the Council. This
seems to US an act of tyranny who'll

Sleeping Under the Clothes.

There is reason to believe (says
Miss Florance Nightingale that not
a few of the apparently unaccounta-
Bile cases of scrofula among children
proceed from the habit of sleeping
with the head under the bed clothes,
and so inhaling air already breathed,
which is further contaminated by ex>
halations from the skin. Patients
are sometimes given to similar hab-
it; it often happens that the bed
clothes are so disposed that the pa
tient must necessarily breathe air
more or less contaminated by exhala-
tions from the skin. A good nurse
will be careful to attend to this
1t is an important part so to speak,
of ventilation. 1t may be worth
while to remark, that when there il
any danger Of bed>sores, blanket
should never be placed under the pa
tent. Never use anything but light
Whitney blanket aud bed-covering
for the sick. The heavy impervious
cotton Counterpart is bad, for the
very reason that it keeps in the en-,
anations from the sick person, while
the blanket allows them to pass
through. Weak patients are invari-
ably distressed by great weight Of
bed-clothes, which often prevents
their getting any sound sleep what
ever.

TIPPING STATIsTIcs.-The editor
of a New York paper (who probably
knows calculates the amount of
money spent for drinks. He says
"Leaving wines and expensive drinks
quite out of the question, let US see
what a plain cocktailist or modest
imbiber Of iold Irye is likely to dis
burse on his favorite refreshments in
the course of year. Take q very
moderate man as sample. Assume
that he drinks every day one glass of
ale at ter cents, and four glasses of
whiskey 4 fifteen. That amounts
to seventy cel day, which makes
four dollars an, ninety cents a week.
Multiply by four, and you have nine
teen dollars and sixty cents a month,
which comes to two hundred and
hfty-two dollars and twenty cents
ayear. Thus, if the man who had carr
ried on at this..rate for ten years had
all his liquor money back, his pocket
would be inflated to the tune of over
two thousand dollars. This is only a
small beer calculation but think OF
men who spend FIVE times this
amount on liquors, and remember
that their name is legion.

The Fall Trade.
From the Philadelphia Enquirer.

The prospects of very strong
revival in all sorts of business, was
never more promising than at pres
ent, Notwithstanding the tightness
of money. The crops of America
are the real minis which, pouring
their treasures broadcast at home and
abroad, set going the wheels of trade.
The yield was never previously so
great, the number of acres planted
never so many. Everything spring.
ing from seed or root out of the
ground has prospered this summer.
Wheat, rye, oats, corn and barley
have returned bounteous growths
fruits were never more abundant,
and the potato crop gives every
promise of success. These are the
real sources of national wealth that
indirectly affect everything else
Even now they are being discounted,
as it were, and as reports of the
bountiful harvest reach the trade
eenters from all outlying sections of
the country, the result is already
seen in the decline in the price of
pork and beef and other necessaries
of life. These deprecated, wages
will so down with them, though still
leaving as much real profit to the
laborer, for, not being obliged to pay
so much to enable him to live, either
for food, clothing or rent, he can af-
ford to receive lower wages.
Everywhere the tendency of rents
is downward. In New York, Boston
and Philadelphia so many vacant
houses have never before been seen
in the same space of time. These
have been held by their owners at
the old exherbitant prices, and, con-
sequently, they are without tenants,
and they will remain so until the
fact is recognized that the days of
war-rates are over and gone.
By September, the crops will be
garnered and mostly in the market,
when the country merchants, with
plethoric purses, will be pouring into
our cities for larger purchases than
they have heretofore made for years.
1t is especially necessary that our
Philadelphia importers and mer-
chants should be prepared, in bulk
and variety, to meet the almost GER
tain demands of their customers.

west of the Azores, of very great ex>

man proposes that the experiment
be made of taking from this place
some ofthe rankigrowth'for fertilizing
purposes. His plan is that the vessS

those seasons of the year when they
are not so engaged make voyages to

enough manure may be taken from

annually more than a thousand mill
