The Funding Bill which was re-
ported to the Senate yesterday, is re-
garded in Wall Street as the best
considered and most practical measure
for the reconstruction of the finances
yet presented to Congress.
Parties who have the best sources
of information at Washington state
that bill has been thoroughly can
Vassed In both Houses, and is accept
ed so unanimously as the great party
measure of the session, that there is
no doubt as to its adoption in sub
stantially its present form. There is
the highest standing of wealth in
Europe prepared TO guarantee the
market $400, 100000 of per cent.
bonds. OF course the banks do not
relish a compulsory substitution of
bonds held against their issues of
notes by others paying l and 2 per
cent. less interest.
The clause of the bill providing for
free banking is disliked on the street,
on the ground of its providing for the
construction of legal tenders equal to
the new issues of the national cur
rency.
A private dispatch states that Sec
retary Boutwell, was on the floor Of
tAe House this afternoon, explaining
certain features of the funding bill.
He stated that if the bill should be-
come law old bonds would be ex-
changable for new at the Treasury,
allowing full market value for them,
and the banks would not be allowed
to sell their bonds in open market.
The amount of gold in the Treasury
to-day is $103. 100000, including $685.
000,000 held against certificates. Cur
rency balance is $11, 100000.

My getting the better of my wife's
lN1 father is one of the richest things on
record.
I'll tell you how it was. You must
know that he is monstrous stingy the
complaint seems to run in the family, and
everybody round our parts used to notice
that he never by any chance asked any
body to dine with him. So one day, just
for chunck of fun, 1 said to Jeddy Dow

bet you penn'orth of shoe strings gainst a

"Yeou get eout." said Jeddy; "why
you might as well try to coax a cat into a
shower bath, Or get moonbeams eout of

"Well," said I, Pm going to try.
And try did, and I'll tell you how 1
went to work.

main pint of his inquiry. At last l finished
eating, and there was no further excuse
for delay besides old Ben was gettin' fid

"Come neow," said he, ''no more

"Well, I'll tell you what" said I, "yeou
