Judge Thurman on the Disfrfbu-
ton Of the National Currency.

Judge THURMAN, of Ohio, in discus
sing the bill introduced in the Senate by
Mr.. Sherman, shows that New En-
gland, with population of 3,644 ,5GS,
less than one-tenth of the population of
the Union, has bank circulation of one
hundred and four millions five hundred
and nine thousand nine hundred and
nineteen dollars, while the States of the
Northwest, with population of fourteen
million and over, have but s57, ,644, 900 !;
New York and Pennsylvania and the
Middle States, with a population of 1O,-
227 ,O00,. have a circulation of S2S 81
per capita to every man, woman and
child in its borders; the circulation in
the Middle States being $12 81 per cap
ita, and the great Northwest 81 0S per
capita. The Southern States are worse
off than the Northwest, their circulation
only being 50, ,143, ,925-per capita, nine
ty-seven cents! The single city of
Providence, Rhode Island, has almost as
much circulation as the entire Southern
States, and ne-seventh as much as the
great States of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska
and Nevada.
The table from which these facts are
drawn we give below, because of its value
as reference, ,and with it we give Judge
THURMAN's comments, to show the une-
quail distribution of currency, caused by
the rapacity of New England.
Judge THURMAN said:
My friend and colleague in the open
ing speech that he made on this bill, l,with
singular felicity, with remarkable brevity
and perspicuity, showed how unequal
this distribution of the currency is, and
how it has resulted in great part from an
illegal administration of the law. Let
me, however, a0d little to what he said
on that subject will do it in very
few minutes. The basis of what shall
say is in a table which / have compiled
with very great care and circumspec-

WORK AND THINK.

Hammer, tongs and anvil ringing,
Waking echoes all day long,
In deep-toned voice are singing
Thrifty Labor's iron song.
From thousand fly wheels bounding,
From thousand humming looms,
Night and day the notes are sounding
Through the misty fact'ry rooms.
Listen! workmen, to their play
There's advice in every clink;
Still they're singing-still they're saying
"Whilst you labor, learn to think"
Think what power lies within you,
For what triumphs ye are formed,
If, in aid of bone and sinew,
Hearts by emulation warmed.
Mighty though ye woo and cherish,
What shall hold your spirits down?
What shall make your high hopes perish?
Why shall ye mind Fortunes frown?
Do you wish for preft, pleasure?
Thirst at Learning's fount to drink?
Crave We honor, fame or treasure?
y
Ye the germs have-work and think!
Think! but not alone Of living,
Like the horse from day to day;
Think! but not alone of giving
Health for pelf, or soul for pay!
Think! Oh, be machines no longer
Toiling just for daily food.
Think! twill make you fresher, stronger;
Link you to the great and good!
Thought exalts and lightens labor,
Thought forbids the soul to sink
Self-respect and love for neighbor,
Mark the men who work-and think!
Think!-and let the thought new-nerve you
Think of men who've gone before;
Leaving lustrous names to serveyou!
Yours the path they've plodded DER!
Freedom fights and wins her charter
With the sword of thought-the pen!
Tyranny can find no quarter
In the ranks of thinking men.
Think! for thoughts wand of power
Power to make oppression shrink.
Grasp We, then, the precious dover!
Poise it-wield it-work and think!
Hold your heads up, toiling brothers;
Mongst us be itne'er forgot,
Labor, for ourselves and others,
Is for man a noble lot
Nobler far, and holier, higher,
Than vain luxury can claim,
If but zeal and worth inspire,
And true greatness be our aim.
Power to compass this is given
Power that forms the strongest link
Twixt an upright man and Heaven,
His noblest power-the power to think

EEDonn Piatt has prepared an ap-
inscription for the new eqaes
trian statue of Gen. Grant, to be erected
in trent of the Treasury Building by the
iron mongers of Pennsylvania. II is as
follows: -.
Erected to the Honor
Of Ulysses S. Grant, General,
And President.
Of obscure origin and questionable training,
He held himself aloof from parties,
And patriotically
Had no principles.
Entering the army,
He fought bravely and won renown,
By making the road to Richmond
A highway of human bones;
Happening to be the first in command,
When the Confederacy fell,
From sheer exhaustion,
A grateful people made him President.
He proved his science
BY reaching into the unknown
For his Cabinet.
He was generous,
And to those who brought him gifts,
He gave fat office;
And charitable,
For he fed his family at the public crib;
And lived immortal as the only man
Whoever helped
A brother-in-law.
This monument
Is built
Of protected copper and
Monopolized pig iron,
By grateful few,
Who fattened famously
While the people starved.

went to ask her out to ride
Last Wednesday--it was perfect weather;
She said she couldn't possibly; -
The servants had gone off together
(Hibernians always rush away,
AT cousins funerals to be looking)-
Pies must be made and she must stay,
She said, to do that branch of cooking.
''oh, let me help you, then,' I cried; 9
"1'll be cooker too, how jolly"
She laughed and answered with smile:
Gall right; but you'll repent your folly,
For shall be a tyrant, sir,
And good hard work you'll have to grapple
So sit down there and don't you stir, =.
But take this knife. and pare that apple"
She rolled her sleeve above her arm
That lovely arm so plump and rounded;
Outside, the morning sun shone bright,
Inside, the dough she deftly pounded;
Her little fingers sprinkled -four
And rolled the pie-crust up in masses;
passed most delightful hour.
Mid butter, sugar and molasses.
With deep reflection her sweet eyes
Gazed on each pot and pan and kettle;
She seized the apples, filed her pies, ~
And then the upper crust did settle
Her rippling waves of golden hair
In one great coil were slightly twisted;
But locks would break out here and there,
And curl about where'er they listed.
And then her sleeve came down, and
Fastened it up-her hands were doughy;
Oh, it did take the longest time
Her arm, Ned, was SO fair and snowy;
She blushed, and trembled, and looked shy;
Somehow that made me all the bolder;
Her arch lips looked so red that L.
Well-found her head upon my shoulder.
We're to DO married, Ned, next month;
Come and attend the wedding revels
I really think that bachelors
Are the most miserable devils;
You'd better go for some girls hand,
And if you are uncertain whether
You dare to make due demand,
Why, just try cooking pies together.

New YORK, February 4.-Dctails of
the-important battle of Nina de juan
Rodiegues, between Jordan and Pueblo,
on New Years Day are received. Ac-
cording to the intelligence gathered pure
ly from American and Spanish sources,
the victory of the Cubans was complete
and decisive The main battle was fought
at the point above named, one of the
approaches to Guaimaro, the Cuban seat
of government. 1t lasted all day, and
ended with the retreat of Pueblo, after a
total loss of 1000 to 600 killed, woun-
ded and prisoners.
The CubanS pursued and harassed the
flying columns of the enemy, until the
latter reached Arroyo Hondo, where
Pueblo intrenched himself and stood a
siege of fifteen days, suffering great pri
vations, and killing horses and mules
for food. The approach of the Spanish
columns under General Goyeneche indu-
ced the Cubans to raise the siege, and
Pueblo escaped with the remains of his
army to the small seaport of Boga, where
the Spanish vessels removed it to Neuvi-
