their well known objections to the national

parry are doomed; the union Of all the ele.

The Old Harvard Sun-DIal.

An old sun-dial, which adorned the
front of Harvard Hall, at Harvard
University, when Massachusetts was
British colony and George Ill was
king.'' has recently come TO light in
a curious manner. In the year 1926
Abiel Jacques, a graduate of the class
of 1897, took his son George, at present
living in Worcester, Mass, to Harvard
University, and among other notable
things about the college buildings,
showed him this old dial. The boy
went through college, became man.
and in the year 1857 happened to Visit
/ that limbo of departed household
treasures, the garrett. There ne came
upon large, elaborated y-made bronze
sun-dial, marked "W. q ;. Jones,
HOlbOrn, London" Recollection
brought back the June day Of 1928
when his father showed him the sun
dial on Harvard Hall. Subsequent
( investigation disclosed the following
facts: Some time before 1852 the elder
Jacques was looking around one day
among the Boston shops, and happen
ed into one where secondhand articles
/ Of all kinds were kept. There he found
/ this old dial, thought he recognized it,
and bought it for a trlfie. The old
man was forgetful, however, and the
dial, in some unknown way, was cast
into the garret. George Jacques at
once wrote to President Hill about il,
who replied 10 his inquiries by saying
that the old dial had disappeared from
! its accustomed place some score Of
years before, taken, as it was thought,
| by some misehievOus or impecuniOus
student. The President added that
/ he should be glad to receive the dial
as a memorial Of the earlier history Of
the University, and promised to call
| or send for it soon. Meantime, the
/ ffhouse-eleaning' season came around,
and again the dial was transferred 10
the garret, where Mr.. Jacques found il
again q few days ago.

Business Prospects.

The New York Bulletin, in estima-
ting the business prospects of 1872,
points out a marked contrast in many
matters with the opening months
of 1871. BY this time last year cur
rency had drifted to New York after
the great crop movements to the
amount of Sl5, 100000; this year it has
reached only S6,01O,0OO. Last year
there was plethora Of funds availa-
BILE on call loans; this year the rate Oi
interest has advanced fully two per
cent. This year the New York banks
report an increase of liabilities, in
Guiding deposits and circulation, OF
nearly four millions of dollars, and a
decrease of their surplus Of specie and
legal tenders over their legal reserve,
of over fourteen millions. The same
increase of liabilities and decline OF
available resources in shown in the
bank returns of Boston and Philadel-
phia. The liabilities of the three
cities above mentioned increased from
1853, 500, 600 in 1S7i to S4T8, ,500,0 900 in
1872, while the legal tenders declined
from SSl 800, 900 to 500, 800, ,000-that is,
while the liabilities have enlarged
g, 900, 900, showing q change in the
financial equilibrium of $4,000, O,OOO.-
This condition Of legal tenders is the
more remarkable from the fact that
Treasury balance of legal tenders is
less by $4,000, 600 than last year. The
Bulletin is disposed to attribute this
