BROKEN BANK NorEs.-The Pittsburg pa,

BROKEN BANK NOTES.-1ue IIGISUuiS IRA
Leader has the following:
One of the anomalies, and curiosities of our
existing financial system is the fact that the
notes of the broken national banks of the United
States are worth four per cent. more than the
notes of the sound ones. The explanation is
easily found. The Government guarantees the
circulation of all the national banks. That
keeps lie notes Of the poorest of them, and
even of those which have failed, up to par.
The total circulation of the national banks of
the United States is limited to fixed amount.
But when national bank breaks if another
bank can buy up its notes and oifer the same
guarantees, it is allowed to succeed to its
privileges and franchises. Or if banking
corporation buys up sufficient notes of various
broken national banks to establish a new bank,
the government allows it to do this too. There
are numbers of people who would like to go
into the national banking business if they had
chance. This gives them chance. If they
watch the market and buy up enough of broken
bank notes they have an opening to start
new national bank in. 1t is the pressure of
these outsiders who want to get in that creates
the demand for these "busted" bauk notes
which has raised them to the premium we have
alluded to, and made the paradox that the
notes of our rotten banks are better than those
of our good ones sober truth.

@g- The world we live in is doomed and the
fashion of it. Mr.. John Fiske, of Han ward Uni
versity, has determined for US upon al old he-
DRY, but as become the latitude of New Englaad,
more dogmaticaIly than usual. Thu we Gie
told that the earth each year adds to i'self some
one hundred and fifty billion meteoric particles.
1t is also losing part of its molar motion of roa-
ton. 1t is further being retarded by radiation.
TIE consequence of this will be that, -, last, the
earth will strike the sun with tremendous force
The heat generated by such collision will pro-
duce temperature of nearly fifty millions de-
grees Centigrade. Disntegration wi immedi
ately follow and then the whole solid mass of
our unfortunate planet, together with everything
upon it, animate and inanimate, largt or SIN ii,
fat or lean, will be ''dissipated into ue6ni' :"
Decidedly an unpleasant out look bu' it is en-
selling TO know that Mr.. Fiske allows us some
millions of years TO make up our minds to he
lamentable fate predicted for u.s.

TRAVEL Recommendations SEATs.-The
New York Times notes the disposition of many
selfish people on railroad trains to grab" all
the seats they can as serious nuisance. 1t adj
mits, of course, the right of any individual to
look out for his own interests, but selfshness is
too mild term for this practice-in a multi
tude of cases (the editor says) it is downright
dishonesty. For man and his wife, when
other passengers are going from car to car look
liz foI .4se1mnodacons, to turn the back of a
seat and put couple of valises in such a posi-
ton as to give the idea that they belong to per-
sons who have taken the places and will be
back in few minutes, is, without ally fisnre
of speech. a fraud of which respectable people
ought to be ashamed. 1t is suggested that
something might be done by railroad comPa
MES towards mitigating ifthey cannot entr ly
prevent the evil. A man should be appointed
whose duty it should be to superia the
seating of passengers at the starting of each
train. Such an individual should n Ike it his
business to prevent the turning of seat ks
whenever it was likely to interfere with the
right of passengers, and should especially see
to it that actual passengers should MOI be crowd
ed out of places by bogus ones.

The INDIANS DREAM.-When the In,jian went
to see the white man, he staid with him all
night. In the morning he says to he white
man:
"Me have dream last night"
"Ah, what was it?"
"Me dream you gave me your gray mare,
and that you gave me rife; that you gave me
muck tSwder much ball, much shot
~ you indeed What a dream!'
Gu; ne DEAN it all"
Nv t6atsSbad, for my wife alva rides
the gray mare, and she thinks she can't ride
any other horse but if you dreamed it, why, I
suppose you must have her. And m old rifle
too? my old favorite rife-dream l gave you
that too?'
"Yes. me dream rifle too"
"Well, if you dreamed it, why suppose you
must take that too but it's very singular"
So the white man gave them all into the In
dams possession; but persuaded him to tarry
with him one night more.
In the morning the white man So IS to the
Indian:
81 had a dream last night
"No did your"
eyes, but did, though dreamed that you
gave me all the land between Ponjunket river
and Catapunch mountain-ab three thous-
and acres of the most beautiful land magma

RICHEs.-It is common saying, "Riches will
not make you happy" What is to be deduced
from it, admitting it TO be true? Are we to con-
clude that property is not TO be desired? 1t is
true that riches will not make their possessors
happy-that is to say, they are insufficient in
themselves, to render one perfectly happy.
In the first place, there is no such thing as COM
pete, unalloyed bliss, in this state Of existence ;
and even the nearest approach to it is not attain
ed without something besides wealth. 1t does
not fplsews however, that the possession Of prop
erty-of competency-does not contribute, in
degree, to ones enjoyment.
The true import of the saying we have quoted
is that those who rely solely on wealth for happi-
ness will be disappointed-as they will be, griev-
ously. Happiness depends mainly on the culture
of the mind and the heart; on the faithful per-
formance Of duty, in secret as we'll as openly,
amid reproach and oboquy as well as when
cheered by words of encouragement or applause.
1t depends on courage to sustain US through the
trials Of this life, and the hope that extends to
another 1t depends on the love and confidence
OF kindred and friends and acquaintances.-
What wealth or property can do towards promo
ting happiness, at the same time, is not inconsd-
cradle. 1t relieves from anxiety about the supply
OF our wants, and the wants of those dependent
upon US, or near to our hearts. 1t supplies US
with the means Of intellectual culture, as we'll RS
of physical comfort.
