How different this from the man who year

John Rogers, the bank defaulter, walks
about the prison sad and depressed; never a
smile appears upon his countenance, and his
face tells a tale of sorrow and blighted hopes
that cannot be clothed in words. He still

soon pardoned, and says he is perfectly inno-

EVENING REPORT.


The arrangements of the syndicate for the negoti.
alton Of the five per cent funded loan have SO far
progressed that books of subscription will be
opened ia Europe and Anerica probably as early
as Tuesday, February ith, to remain open no long
er than three or four days. The strength and in.
fuence OF the parties who have the management
ofthe negotiation rendered it more than likely that
the same will be success partially complete with
in the time specified. 1t is therefore most impor.
tant for the National banks, who are dependent
upon United States bonds as a basis for circulation
and should take such preliminary action as will
secure for them the bonds they require. The
bonds will be issued at par and accrued interest in
gold or even in exchange. In any issue of Five
Twenty bonds, the interest will be adjusted to the
date of the exchange. Money was active to-day
and dearer, ranging from per cent to 1872 and

There seems to be an impression in the

by DR.. j. d. Nutting, one of the leading ply

Two cases of varioloid in very mild form have
