Here is VIVID picture Of Alex, II. Stephens
life III deah The face Ia immo6i.e; the skin
clings 10 il lisc hfeless parchment; the iIs, wan
tLe face, part but seldom aud then there Is a
ghastllness in tiei: smile that alone chlls your
blood; the hands are limp and bloodless, cold,
waz-llke, and almost clammy IN your grasp. Bu
out Of this physical decay, through the dark,
quenehiess eyes, there Shines The splendor Of an
intellect thai has survived all bodily lnflrmity.
II anybody wants an argument TO prove The I'M
mortality Of the soul, let him look al Alexander
IL. Stephens as lac sIts palld aud moliOnless in
his seat like one who has died suddenl, in his
chair, and then let him call ont the intellect thai

topics that command deep learning and subtle

yATIONAL HANKS.

The circulation of a National bank that has
failed commands premium over notes OF banks
in good credit, because the amount of National
bank notes being limited, no new bank can be
nut IN operation and receive notes for its circula
ton without bringing in and surrendering for can .
collation. an equal amount previously issued to
some other bank. Sometimes as high as ten per
cent is paid for notes ofa defunct National bank
when they are sent in TO the comptroller OF the
currency, who cancels them and reissues an equal
amount to the new bank in whose behalf they
were bought up, thus really making premium
on failure.

The wny the Peoples Money Goes,
When rogues fall out, SC. The old adage was
fully illustrated in the L. S House OF Reprcsen-

the 'salary steAi" in theN pockets when Radical
Butler let the cat ont Of the bag in a scandal

Government $4,000 wear additional, making

"The law awarded II 10 him, and the bond gave
it to him. But they had right 10 complain that
that gentleman, while thus drawing $l7 800 q
wear, had been denouncing them for drawing
$500 year. II looked like the rich man taking
the one eve lamb Of the poor man. Uaughier)
lie could refer thai gentleman to high authoIi-
~. Let him look at the fourth chapter Of ST.
John. When the woman taken III adultery was
brought before the Saviour He said turning to
her accuser, "Let him who is without sin among

party on that occasion laughter as he had led the
