THE BANK.RESERVE.

70 tho Edftv Of The Chicago Tribune:
s1n' To tho many prescriptions for our anau-
cial malady given by quack fluanoers. l wish to
add one. Tho National Banks arc required to
Keep reserve Of legal-tondor notes In their
vaults. Other banla do tho samo thing. This
rossrve lies stored away, doing no service, earn
Ing nothing Ita aggregate is-well say $780,

Issue bonds equal in amount to the total bank
reserve In tho country, bearing, say, 8 par cent
interest, aud sell these bonds to the banks, to
be hold ns their resoryo; with the proceeds the
0oyernn,ont to purchase and retire botIds bear

Singular Death.

In visit to Egan Canyon We were
put in possession of the facts connected
with the decease OF John S. Low. Deputy
County Surveyor, so far as it is possible
to know them. On Tuesday. Sept. 23d,
he had been making a survey of the Vic
toria mine, in Cherry Greek District, of
which he was part owner. At about
shutdown of that day, II. c. Mordoff and
Thomas Phillips accompanied the de-
ceased from the mine to Silver Canyon.
in which he had left light wagon and
horse and mule, deceased intending to
return to ESan. The parties assisted in
hitehing up the team. when Mr.. Low
got into the wagon and started down the
canyon, the gentlemen named parting
with him to go to the Baltic mine, high
up on the mountain. Early the next
morning William Connolly, who lives
near the mouth of the canyon. on the
way up to his work. found the body of
Mr. Low lying on the ground, and the
horse and mule attached to each end Of
a rope, which was wound around the leg
and body of the deceased. Upon an ex-
animation of the ground, and from the
testimony before the Coroner. it appeared
that the deceased could only have driven
some two or three hundred yards, when
ne alighted, unhitched the animals. and
placed the harness in the wagon; that he
then tied each end of rope, some 20
feet in length, to the two animals, and
started. it is supposed, to go down to
Connolly's. His reason for so doing, i:
is coniectglred, was that soon after start
ing he discovered the brake to be unit
to hold the wagon in making the descent
Of the steep canyon road At least the
brake was found to be out of order, by
those who examined it Immediately after
finding the body, and is the most reason
rble surmise that can be INDUCED for
his action in taking out the animals. 1t
is probable that he then started. carrying
the rope across his breast, and that,
his body lying upon it prevented the ami
mails from going off. During the night
the animals in their restlessness seemed
to have moved about, twisting the rope
around his legs, and also dragging the
body in such way that the face and hands
became considerably scratched. Mr..
Low had twice within the past eighteen
months been stricken with slight paral-
ysis, and the suddenness of his death is
doubtless owing to a third shock while
alone and SO strangely situated. An ex-
animation of the body, made by DR..
from natural causes, as no marks of vio-
lence were anywhere perceptible. Mr..
Low was q native of Massachusetts,. He |
