the chaplain again attempted to bring the prisoner
into better state OF mind. but without success, al
though Bayon clearly understood that the fatal hour
was ut hand and, indeed before retiring to rest
laughingiy stated so 10 his keepers.
The next morning, at four O'CLOCK, when the
governor OF the prison came 10 awaken him,
he exhibited no emotion, and SIMPLY OBJ
dressed himself, ate hearty breakfast. drank cup
coffee, and, after having smoked cigar resigned
himself into the hands OF The executioners from

the fatal operation. The venerable priest made
another attempt to soften the heart OF the prisoners
but Bayou thrust him away saying with the utmost
camness, mo; leave Iae alone M. ie Cure; have
nothing to tell yOu.n The chaplain, however, would
not leave the unhappy man, but accompanied him
from the prison.
It was then half-past five O'Clock, and percelving
in the court yard carriage intended to convey him

is now three per cent. The bank then held

Sl2 4Sl COZ. At the same time there Is an advance
OF Ca 900 900 in the government balance, which has
risen from f6, 064 1854 to fl0O65, SO9 The question
arises whether the a in the rate Of discount should
not In the natural course OF things have been more
than from four and half to three per cent. The
amounts OF the bullion ana the reserve are almost
exactly the same as they were at the beginning OF
June, 1868, the totals then held having been
Ell 100000 and 912, 100000 respectively At that
time the rate Of discount only two per cent and
now with reserve OF fl2, 600, the rate Is kept
up at three per cent And mere our comparison
brings us back to the inflated state Of the govern
ment balance AT the commencement OF June, 1868,
tie amount was f6, 1875, 503 and, as we have said,
it is now 9I0,O65 500. Mr.. loves arrangements
have had the effect of driving the revenue into the

thus rendered master or the SttuattOn' Is enabled
