Especial to the st. Louis Republican,
NEW YORK, June 12.-The report tele-
graphed from this city last week that not
withstanding that numerous officers of the
Treasury Department and others have been
sent to Europe on business connected with
the loan, and great efforts to sell the new
bonds in the continental markets, not dol
lars worth of them have yet been sold,
would naturally lead many to suppose that
Mr.. Boutwell, has met with more difficulty
in this direction than he anticipated, and
that if the public debt is funded at all it
must be done at home. The fact is some of
the new bonds have already been sold
abroad-a few millions-but the amount has
been SO small that no general report of IT
has been made. The Secretary, however. is
not at all discouraged, and still expects to
dispose of large portion of the new loan
IN European markets. He would not be
surprised if it should prove that the pro-
posed new French loan Of 100000 900 of
pounds sterling to pay for indemnity, will
sell more readily than ours, for it is historic
OF financial transactions that to a certain
extent the greater the risk involved, it being
necessary TO increase inducements in the
same ratio, the greater the eagerness with
which spectators invest. The French
minister OF finance must sell his loan at a
great discount and promise a high rate of
interest.

No plant yields anything like as much
nutriment from the same extent of soil AS
the banana. Baron Humboldt estimated
that it returns twenty times as much as
the potato, and hundred and thirteen
times as much as wheat.

The difference between Horace Greeley
and General Robert Toombs is thus defined
by the Mobile Register:
Horace Greeley-a rich, successful, pros
the South pay him five hundred dollars for
an address before an agricultural associa-
ton. General Toombs, who has perhaps
lost thousands and tens of thousands by
the war, writes to the Franklin Society that
he Will accept no compensation for his lee

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June I3.-Harry Bald
win was brought here to-day by Deputy
United States Marshal Steele, of Mount
Vernon, Ohio, at the instance of Special
Agent c. t. Bodwin, of the postoffice de-
partment, charged with violating the postal
laws. 1t appeared from the testimony that
Baldwin, who is a wealthy farmer and petit.
logger, had, knowingly, upon six different
occasions, used Cancelled postage stamps in
prepayment of letter postage. After a
hearing before United States Commissioner
White, he was held to bail in the sum of
$1,000 to answer at the October term of the

sensible Words About Advertising.

The following is from the financial arti-
Gle of the Journal of Commerce, NewYor
People who sit nervously in counting
houses, or behind their goods, waiting for
customers to take them by storm, and
making no effort to let the world know the
bargains they have to offer, will find the
season very unpropitious. Many of those
who have spent large sums in hiring drum
mers and paying for other well known APP
pliances of trade have effected large sales
but have swallowed up too large share of
the receipts in such enormous attendant
expenses. The best remuneration has
been found by those who have returned to
more legitimate old-fashioned methods of
pushings their business. We say it, not
simply because we are interested in this
line of expenditure but as our best advice
to all who wish to be enterprising and to
secure larger custom, there is nothing
now so effective to this end as judicious
advertising. A little advertising may be
like a gentle touch of the whip to poor
Dobbin's horse, ga mercy thrown awayip
but liberal outlay is almost certain to
bring it in a. large return, and this Will last
even beyond the current season. We 90
not believe that any one who has valuable
service or desirable property to offer can
fail of reaping rich harvest by continue
GUS advertising on large scale" = rs

HOME and 1BRO1D.

Seven steamships left this port for Europe
on Saturday, carrying very large number OF
passengers. Many, whom the war had exiled,
were doubtless returning 20 their homes (;
doubtless a number of others dixie Our own
Mr.. Geo. w. Smalley, who sailed on the
Main), were Americans resident abroad re-
turning from Summer visits here /; but the
great majority were pleasure seekers bent
upon the continental tour which has been in
terrupted by the serious events of the past
year. All accounts agree that the exodus OF
Americans this season has been unequaled
since the days just after our own war, when
everybody who had made money during the
period of initiation hurried abroad to spend it
and TO familiarize Europe with the new
yulgarites of Shoddy. This Summer, a
fresh interest has been added to for
eign scenes by the startling incidents
of the twclyemonth The new German En-
pire, the new Italy, and bleeding and de-
vastated France, are full of recent historic
associations; and the old charm of foreign
lands is always there, beckOning us on from
cliff TO cliff, from blue lake to laughing river,
from sunny vineyard to snOw-capped Alps.
SO our people roam over Europe in ever in
creasing numbers, raising everybody's prices,
demoralizing innkeepers, spending in month
what would last judicious travellers a year,
and getting, on the average, very little for
their money.
But there is, fortunately, another tide of
American travel, which instead of crossing the
ocean seeks out the remOter beauties of our
own land. A journey to California has been,
until lately, a more notable achievement to
resident of the Atlantic States than trip to
Russia or a tour through Switzerland But
now the ride across the Rocky Mountains, the
superb scenery of the Wahsatch Range, and
the crowning wonders of the Yosemite Valley
and the Big Trees, are attractions for the tour
ist as well recognized as any the Old World
affords. The great Northwest and the Pacific
slope abound in natural splendors which are
yet not half explored, and the visitor to those
regions can not only enjoy some of the grand
est spectaCles in nature but can Of
ten feel that he looks upon scenes
which civilized man has never beheld before.
Pleasure travel across the continent has ac-
quired an enormous development during the
present season. Parties of ladies and gentle
men are penetrating into regions which only
yesterday were unknown, save to the Indian
and the pioneer hunter. Artists are bringing
home the most alluring sketches of the new
Switzerland; and it need surprise nobody if in
a few years the current of pleasure travel
should change, and set in strongly from Eu-
rope to the West.

A letter from the chief engineer of Capt
Shufeldfs expedition gives some interesting
particulars of the recent Tehuantcpec survey
which have not heretofore been made public
The explorers reached point never before
visited by man. and found there the "ony
possible solution" of the problem of canal
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec,-this par
ticuar discovery being. if we understand the
letter, a mode of supplying the summit level
with water With regard to the cost, Capt.
Shufeldt has made no estimate, the sum men
toned some time ago in the Washington dis
patches being, as we suppose, merely rough
guess. The number of locks has been some
what oyerStated. We may add that Mr..
Fuertes is mistaken in suppOsing that we
questioned the originality of the survey.
