The CURRENCY MCCUlLoU WITH
DREW FROM Observation-Disclosures,
duling the last eight months of his of
fetal career as Secretary ofthe Treasu-
ry, contracted the circulation of the
country TO the amount of SJ0, 900 900.
The country now needs this currency.
The area of trade is rapidly extending.
The revival of business iii the South
has absorbed a vast amount of currcn-
cy % that locality, while the compile
ton of the Pacific Railroad has spread
millions on millions of it all across the
plains to the Pacific coast. These new
fields for the use of money have been
supplied from the volume heretofore
deemed necessary for the supply mere
ly OF the Eastern, Middle and North
western States, while that supply has
been further curtailed by the S50,000,-
600 retired by Mr.. McCulloh. Really,
then, we are now left with but about
a half supply. We are largely short
OF the actual requirements of legiti-
mate business. All branches of trade
and every industrial pursuit is now
crippled by reason of this unnatural
s!tf1ngeney of money. 1t is not infla-
ton that the country demands. The
emission of S25s,00O,OOO additional
gfeenbacks wonld not be imitation in
. .he real sense of the term. 1t would
be simply giving the country it's neces-
sary supply of currency, and thus I'M
clag the wheels of trade, and revive in
business healthy activity. But even
.nls sum ii is not now urgently pressed
for: The effort is making to secure the
reissue of $50, 0G0, 900, MeCulloh with
drew from circulation. This proposi-
ton is now pending in the Senate: and
II that body has any decent regard for
the Welfare of the people and the pros
penty of the nation, they will take a
lew moments from the everlasting dis
e eusslon of crude funding theories and
hnlshed reconstruction hobbies and
attend to this one great want Of tha
country. That S5O,0OOOOo of cnr u, e,o
ey would now be of infinitely more
practical benefit to the country than =

END OF Four GREAT MEN.-The
four conquerors, most conspicuous in
the worlds history are Alexander,
Hannibal, Caesar and Bonaparte
What was their end?
Alexander, after climbing the dizzy
heights of his ambition, his temples
bound with chaplets dipped in the
blood of millions, looked down upon
a conquered world, and wept that
there were no other worlds for him to
conquer, set a city on fire, and died in
a scene of drunken revelry and de-
bauch.-
Hannibal, after having, to the as
tonishment and CONSERVATION of Rome,
passed the Alps, and having put all
her armies to fight, "three bushels of
gold rings from the fingers of her
slaughtered knights" and made her
very foundations quake, fled from his
own country, hated by those who once
exultingIy united his name with that
of their god, calling him Hani-Aal, and
died at last by poison administered by
his own hand, unwept and unhouored
in foreign land.
Caesar, after conquering eight hun
dred cities, dyeing his garments in the
blood of millions of his foes, and pur-
suing to deatl the only rival he ever
had on earth, vas misefably assassina-
ted by those whom he considered his
nearest friends, and in the very place
which it had been his creates: ambition
to reach.
Bnnaparte, whose mandates kings
and popes for time obeyed, after
spreading everywhere the terror of his
namc, after delnsing Europe with blood,
and elot,ting its nations in sackcloth,
closed his days in Punishment on a
lonely island. almost literally exilcd
from the world.
What comments on tie evanscene of
human greatness, especially the great
ness won by the sword! These men
all stood for a time on the very pima
Gle of what tho world calls greatness.
and each in turn made the earth trem-
BILE by their tread or their bare word +;
ret they severally died a miserable
,cath one by intoxication. OF by poi
son mingled with his wine; another by
his own hand, a suicide; third MUIR
dered by his friends, and the last Il
lonely exile! How wietched the end
Of such greatness

NUMBERS OF THE HAIRs-It is a vain
task, one might suppose, to set to work to
number the hairs of the head. las the
hairs of the head. or the sands of the sea
in number" is a'favorite Oriental meta
phor to express an innumerable host. Yet
there are those who have attempted this
incredible labor. Nor is it very great
task to make some approximation. Thus
we know there are one hundred and twen-
ty square inches covered with hair, on n
head of Averages size. Take single square
il CHI, where the hairs seem of an average
thickness, and count how many there are.
1t can be done in a short time. The re-
suit will be, in a healthy scalp, from eight
hundred to twelve hundred, say in round
numbers one thousand. Multiply this by
one hundred and twenty, and we have one
hundred and twenty thousand as the av-
erage number of hairs on the head.

w In New Orleans, a short time
ago, when the 1.-the form of Lydia
Thompson appeared on the stage, a
rustic from Arkansas became lost in
admiration, and slowly strpking his
nnkempt beard and eyeing the daz-
cling beatty as she roqnetted about in
her peculiarly fascinating manner, e
muttered o hinselfiD svft of huarse
whisper, a'Dang my buttons, but she's
a beauty lively as a two-year old.
She's lightning, by thunder! She's
bully, tliough!' And then, as if inter-
~ at a loss for some exclamation to en-
press his admiration. continued in a
tone which showed how deeply the
heart ander his copperas coIorea vest
was moved, "Yoa little rascal you, if
| only had you up in old Rackcn sack"

CHEERING.-Signs multiply that gen.
eral amnesty will soon be approved by
Congress. Members are becoming
more aimiabe toward the South
Broader disability bills are passed com
mittees are reporting favorably on the
repeal of test oaths, and speeches are
made by Radicals in which the milk of
human kindness towards the eX-rebels
begins to preponderate over the gall
that once saturated such efforts. March
4th was day to be marked with a
white stone in the annals of recon
struetion and peace. The Senate com
mittee on disabilities recommended
the repeal of the test oath requirement
of 1862, which applies to all persons
except those disqualified by the four
teenth amendment. Lookers-on at
Washington say that this bill will pass
both Houses. Senator Revcls present.
ed the resolutions of the Mississippi
Legislature asking for the removal of
all political restrictions from the citi
zens of that State. Even Senator Sum
ner's cold blood took the infection of
liberality, and he withdrew his motion
to reconsider the omnibus disability
bill that passed the other day-the first
instance in which he has shown Il dis
position to relax the grimness of his
visage towards the conquered South.
1t is too early to put Representatives
'Burchard's bill to vOte-a bill provid-
ing for declaration of general amnes'
ty, concurrent. with the proclamation of
the fifteenth amendment-though we
find thorough going radical papers in
different parts of the country calling
for its immediate passage. But as
things are going on now, it is not too
much to hope that Congress will be pre-
pared to pass that noble measure with
in short time. There is need ofpres
sing it to vote at present, as the
President has declared that he shall not
issue the proclamation of the adoption
of the fifteenth amendment until Texas
and Georgia are admitted. The letting
in of those States on liberal terms, we
trust, will increase the volume of ma
tional and patriotic feeling all over the
country, and cause louder demands
than ever from the great body of the
people for the PRONUNCIATION of general
amnesty, leaving to Congress hardly
any option but to authorize it. If the
President would but break the spell OF
inaction that rests upon him, AID re-
commend this act in q special message
to Congress, he could assist in carrying
it through, and gain for himself and his
administration popularity such as
they have not yet enjoyed.-lN y.

THE NEW PREMIER OF BAVARIA
Count Bray, whom King Louis of
Bavaria has charged with the duty of
forming a ministry, is the son of Il
Frencllman who entered the Bavarian
ser, ice. At an early age the Count
entered upon diplomatic duties, and
was charged with many missions to
Vienna, Paris, and ST. Petersburg. In
1916 he was made Minister of Foreign
Affairs, but soon resigned in order to
protest against the favor shown to the
notorious Lola Montez. This act in
creased his popularity, and on the
revolution of.'49 he returned to power.
He sho we'd linlselfvery hostile to the
Democratic party, and at first sns-
tanned the Prnssian policy, but after
ward inclined to the Austrian. Being
warily attacked in the Chamber, he
resigned March 5, ls49, and resumed
his post as ambassador at st. Peters
burg. The immediate canse of his
appointment now wasthe vote of the
Bavarian Chamber expressing want of
confidence in the Holienlohe Ministry,
which was followed by their resigna-
ton. In the debate on the 5th ult.
Prince Hohenlobe said: The decision
at which you are abont to arrive will
be one of vast significance not that
the political events of this kingdom are
of such vast Importance, but because
the struggle which tor week past has
been carried on within these walls is
only a part of the great contest which
at this moment is convulsiug the en-
tire world"

succeeded to power by the decision to
which he refers, have an Ultramontane

ONE HUNDRED YEARS FROM new.
BY MISS. NELLY MARSHALL.

The lips of time have lightly press'd
The snow of my young browi
How many will they have caress'd
One hundred years from now2
The Sunshine dances on the hills,
The mist hangs DER the mead,
Where flowers are struggling mp to spring
Through branble, brier and weedi
How mist and shine will fade away,
And meads yield to the pillow,
And flowers and brainbles low be laid,
One hundred years from now
The hills are green on hill and void,
And will be green again;
The river sweeps through field of gold,
To meet the smiling maini
And merry birds are warbiing gay
Upon each leafy bough,
But they will sing no songs for me
One hundred years from now
The weird and solemn stars serene
That gem the brow of night,
Tbro' lapsing time have ever been
AS changeless, cold, and bright;
And though they, now look smiling down
Upon my girlish brow.
THEY'LL smile the same upon my grave
One hundred years from now
It is a sad thought to me,
And starts the tender tears,
When gazing down the vistas gray
Of dim, uncertain years,
To feel that over all love
Must gather mould and rust,
And that the friends hold so dear
viii sometimes turn to dust
1t seems long, long time to wait
For year to come and go,
And yet my heart doth truly feel
1t must be ever SO
O,may my life be trne and sweet,
No shadow gloom my brow
Pray God, with me twill all be well
One hundred years from now!
