In some of the commercial marts of
the United States our greenbacks and
national currency are worth five per
cent premium.
Gold is not the only representative
Of money which demands premium.
It was down to lOk yesterday, and
currency worth about half as much as
that precious metal. This is the effect
of the stability and reliability of our
paper money, connected with the fact
that many people are boarding it,some
because they desire to bring about a
stringency in order to speculate upon
II, and others because of their want OF
confidence in the banks.
This want of confidence is griev.
ons wrong the people are inflicting up.
on themselves.
1t hurts the people most themselves,
and is simply senseless panicky feel
Ing without single reason to support
It.
The people owe the banks, and when
pay day comes, as II will in the mex,
twenty to ninety days, the real tussle
will come, unless the currency can be
unlocked.
We trust, however, that all will ye1
be wei but our readers will mari
this, that unless this boarding of cur
rency can be prevented soon, it is no
the banks that will feel the weight o

An official paper, read recently before
the London Society of Arts, presented
the remarkable statement that, in 1871
no less than 1S,07S people were killed
in India by tigers, cobras and othel
wild and venomous anImals--a Lortali
far in excess of that caused by the
asst Indian wars in any year. Another
markable feature brought out by the
aper is the fact that the number is
constantly increasing Notwithstanding
the improvements in fire arms. and the
increase of hunters who make tiger kill
ing business. Unlike most other ami
mails, the nearer civilization approaches
them the fiercer they become, and the
less disposed to quit their haunts.

NEW York, July 18.-A correspon

to say The truth is there are not half

Prince perhaps does unde, stand it, but
he viii put himself on the other side; if
indeed, he is not already there. The
fight is the Empire against the Church.
1t is fight of the State for the Empire,

God; and i'll this fight the State will get
the worst of it, unless it succeeds in
destroying the idea of God and placing
itself in His place. Men say that they
must have something to worship. Well
then. let them worship the State Let
it take the place of the family as well as
of the Deity. Let it be the Diety In
two generations, if we bad the field
wholly to ourselves, we could so oblt-
crate the idea of God and of the imagin

their Creator, that the substitution OF
the State in His place would be effected
