cannot be a difficult one, because rendered
by an illiterate and uncultivated boy, call
to mind that this solution, by the usual
forms of multiplication, requires the use
of 191 figures, IA multiplications, % ad-
ditions, and Is combinations of figures,
and that this, by the ordinary processes of
multiplication, is to be performed and re-
tanned in the mind, until the process is
completed. When they realize this, or at
tempt the solution itself, they will very
likely come to the conclusion that Reuben
Field is prodigy in mental calculations.

THE MINER.
A Miners Trials Of a Day.


We will follow our miner into the face Of
his breast thus taking the slope, gangway
and manway at jump. This course saves
US much trouble yet still it is necessary
that breast of coal should have a descrip-
ton. For our example we will choose a
breast working in vein, whose degree Of
inclination approaches seventy, and whose
thickness approxima;es thirty feet. A slope
sunk down into the vein some hundreds OF
feet reaches gangwa. This runs level and
taps the breasts by means of schutes. The
schutes to breast of coal, are as taps to a
beer barrel. l say beer barrel, because
miners too often have a tendency in this
direction there are ether barrels, but these
do not occupy the same amount Of attention
and interest.
The schutes are provided with contrivan-
ces, to regulate the flow Of coal into the
wagons on the Gangway; the loose coal
pressing heavily down the steep incline of
the coal-seam floor. A breast is gener ally
about twelve yards wide, by the seamer's
height, and is driven upwards-till worked
generally a distance Of one hundred
yards The schutes are about six feet high
by nine in width, and run through the coal
pillar above the gangway, for distance Of
eight to twelve yards. Here the breast
opens and expands to the dimensions we
have shown; like large square bottle with
its neck downwards. From barrel to bottle |!
This looks bad A little hole called man
way, three feet high, by three feet wide,
connects each wall side C. rib" of the breast
to the gangway. In these passages about
three feet apart, are strongish steps placed
crOsswise, which virtually constitute the
miners stepladder. Through the pillar,
and within the excavation the manway is
built Of timber through a mass of loose coal
lying within the breast Props about FIVE
feet in length are here leant over against the
rib, and placed at their bottoms in a hole,
cut into the veins floor, about three feet
from the wall side or rib. These props are
placed about five feet apart and planks
sufficiently strong to restrain the pressure of
loose coal are nailed behind them stretching
from one to the other and extending from
bottom to top. On one side of the manway
you find timber-wOrk, on the other coal
wall side. Pass up the passage thus formed,
say distance Of sixty yards, and you find
our miner within the manway, contemplate
ing a scene that puts him in one Of the worst
possible humors for our miner has not the
patience of job. He is close to the face of
his breast but cannot enter it, in con-
sequence Of the blast he fred on leaving the
evening previous, having thrown its load on
to the manway timber, and converted the
last length Of planklng he had adjusted, just
before he applied the match, into little
pieces commonly known by the name of
sPhnters; He pulls an uncommonly wry
lace, and ntters-not prayer poor sinner
what Is best not uttered at all under the
circumstances. The manway is completely

A New Monetary System,
CHAPTER IV.-SEcTIoN v.
By EDWARD KELLOGG.

The Management of the Banks and The
Effects Of their Operations upon the
Prosperity of Trade and Productive
Industry.
Our present banking system, and the
present legal rates of interest, even with the
fairest and best management, are powerful
means for the unjust accumulation Of wealth.
But looking little deeper into the subject,
and observing how the business Of the
banks is conducted, we shall find that their
unavoidable evil tendencies are greatly aug
mented by the manner in which they are
controlled and directed.
The banks are empowered to lend two
and half times their capital. They have
no legal right to exceed this sum, but they
may expand and contract their loans as
much as they please within this limit They
can discount notes at longer or at shorter
dates. They sometimes discount notes
having SIX, eight, ten and twelve months to
ran, and then suddenly stop discounting
any having over ninety days to run. They
can make money very abundant, or very
scarce The banks can make good Endorsed
notes sell in Wall street at discount Of
one, two, or three per cent. month or
they can make money so plenty, that the
same quality of paper will sell at less than
half per cent a month. They can make
the business Of the nation prosperous, and
make labor command good prices, or they
can SO greatly curtail business that the in
dustrious laborer will be compelled to beg
his living.
When bank is extending its discounts,
it will hold out inducements to merchants
and mechanics to open accounts with it.
being glad to discount for them to any rea-
sonable amount The merchant and the
mechanic open accounts, and perhaps for a
considerable time the paper which they offer
is discounted at the legal interest of seven
per cent. They are well satisfied, although
the bank discounts for brokers and large
capitalists at four, five, and six per cent.
per annum, while it charges them seven
per cent. But suddenly there is an ap-
parent scarcity of money, and the bank de-
,lines discounting the paper Of merchants
md mechanics at long dates. The appli-
,ants inquire of the officers the reason of
his refusal. They are answered, that
