lisbed official return on the subject. 1t
was introduced into the Hill districts
of India from South America, in
1869. The fetal expenditure Of the ex'
pertinent was $30S ,j95. The return
represents d value which is simply in
calculable. There are now 1888, 285
plants in the Government plantations
on the Nellgherry Hill alone, without
counting those Of private planters in
this and other districts The largest
trees are thirty aud a half feet high,
and over three feet in girth round the
trunk. The area covered by the planta-
tons amount to $50 acres, and is being
largely added 10 every year. The bark
under cultivation is much richer in quiz
nine and other febrifuge alkalolds than
the wild bark Of South America. Dur.
ing last year 1895 pounds Of excellent
bark we're sold in the London market,
while 65,658 pounds we're supplied e
the local mandatory. This year 20
900 pounds will be sent TO England. The
slkaloid is manufactured on the spot in
an exceedingly cheap form for the use
Of local medical stores, and hundreds Of
fever patients are thus annually cured.
The object Of providing an abundant
supply Of the febrifuge al a price within
the peans Of the population a. large is
rapidly being realized.

A NOBLE CHARITY.

A philanihropic citizen OF the county
proposes plan of systematic charity fol
the relief of the yellow fever sufferers in
our midst. The LEDGER heartily IN
dorses the scheme Of " Rusticulus." and
will cheerfully do its part in furtherauce
ofthe humane proposition. This citizen
sends his five dollars, and proposes to
contribute the same amount every Mon
day morning as long as the disease pre-
walls. How soon can we announce that
two hundred such names have been Sc
cured? 1t would afford us great plea
sure to announce such list. All who
are willing to subscribe will find book
for this special purpose at the LEDGER
office. and all moneys received will be
properly credited and turned over to the
Howards. Let us hear from our patri'
otto citizens who happen to be abroad.
They took plenty Of money with them
and know but little of the scenes of want
and suffering in the infected districts.
Surely they have hearts and sympathies,
and will respond to this appeal. There is
danger that the Howard Association will
have TO disband for want Of funds. The
members devote their time and risk their
lives without money and without price.
They have the priceless reward of an
approving conscience. They go to the
haunts ofsuffering and defamation, where
some would not present themselves for
their weight in gold. Surely the Gem
munity cannot dispense with their ser
vices or their noble organization. Let
every true man who has a dollar 10
spare respond, and whether he calls at
the LEDGER Office or TIE headquarters
of the Towards, at No. u Court street,
we can assure him that his contribution
will De properly applied.

THE VITALITY OF MEMPHIS.

The First National Bank was re-
opened to-day, and We hope will be one
of the permanent institutions Of the city.
Mr.. W. W. Thatcher. after the merchants
subscribed over 500, 900 for the relief
of the bank, went 20 Nashville, where be
met the examiners of the banks repre-
senting the United States Treasury De-
partment. Aftera full examination and
conference by telegraph with the Comp
sroller at Washington, it was decided
that the bank could reopen upon safe
and solvent basis, which vas accordingly
done this morning under the suggestions
of the Directors. This is a good omen
for Memphis. 1t not only speaks well
for the management Of the bank, but
for the life and enterprise Of the mer-
chants who sustain it in this emergency.
The First National has been liberal with
its customers, and often assisted them
when they could get help nowhere else,
aud now it has been in their power to
help the bank through a strait place.
Nothing could more fOrcibly illustrate
the vitality Of our mercantile interests.
The disasters Of the times have drawn
our merchants closer together, and made
them more Of unit in common inter
ests. They are likely to act hereafter
upon cooperative principles, and to put
their united shoulders to the wheels Of
progress, and through the Chamber Of
Commerce present solid front TO the
outside world. Perhaps some Of our
misfortunes may prove to be blessings
in disguise, and that out Of unity will
come strength. 1t is one Of the most
encouraging signs of the times that the
merchants have united for once, and ac-
tuaIly backed up their theories with
subscriptions Of money toward the tenn
porary relief of iavorite banking in
stitution. With all our losses, epidemics
aud discouragements, Memphis seems
invulnerable to decay or serious detri-
ment. We have had trouble enough to
crush five such cities, and yet survive
almost unscathel. A kind bat just
Providence watches over our distresses.
and if we are but true to Him as we are
to ourselves, Memphis will rise like a
giant from slumbsr aud leap forward to
the goal Of her children's fondest ambi-
ton. These are days Of vast, suffering
aud depression, but the signs Of life are
not wanting. and when these disorders
are overcome, as they soon will be,
new era Of prosperity will break through
the clouds Of our adversely. With every
calamity in full view. we have yet faith

Nothing is really reliable and stable bu
silver and gold. These have value as
certained by weight, which no specula
tor in paper can take away. The
values OF bank notes and legal ten
ders have decreased fully five pei
cent in two years, and perhaps a
present to ten per cent, Leaving out the
present panic, the following figures are
at least suggestive, il not convincing
The property of the whole country, ae
cording to the census OF 1870, was about
$50, OOO, OOO, 600; the population 81, OOO,'
600, or about $500 per head. The popu-
lation now is not less than 4l,OOO,OOs,
and property values s3s, 900, QOO,O 900. The
circulation OF legal tenders and bank
notes is about the same now as then,
but two years ago they we're worth only
ten per cent. below coin; now they are
worth fifteen per cent less than coin,
showing that the value of our national
circulating medium does not keep up
with the increase of wealth aud popula-
ton. Business will always be uncertain,
and capital proverbially timid as long
as the former is continually liable
to such violent shocks as produced
BY the present crisis. This was once a
hard money government; now it is all
paper, and the national banks, which
carry nearly all the business of the
country, have made profit Of
nearly one-third their actual capital III

cIaired. The business of the country
does not justify such profits, consequent
Iy one interest is built up at the expense
of others, that are weak and unprotect-
ed. 1t is the strong trampling down the
weak, and disregarding all reciprocity
of interests The goose is killed for the
golden egg, as it were. Banking is a
profitable business for the few, but not
equitable or just to the many. When
the poor man earns dollar he wants
something tangible, something harder
than a promise to pay like legal ten
der note which is payable to no one nor
at any specified time. 1t is not convert
lille into coin ike the old bank money,
nor has it q fixed value These facts
are sensibly felt blythe masses Of the
people, and when the next Congress
meets We apprehend that some very i'm
portant financial measures will be intro
duced and various reforms set on foot
for the relief Of the land and labor in
terests Of the country. Let us hope
that there will be decided tendency
toward the resumption Of specie pay
ments which as soon as practicable will
take shape and bring down the fictitious
prices of money.

The business of the up town savings
banks has STEADILY increased since the
early part of this week None Of the
officials anticipate recurrence of the
panic at present, and arun on the banks
is not likely to be renewed. A large
proportion OF the deposits withdrawn
during the:exoitement have been rede-
posted. Several of the savings banks
have resumed payment of all deposits
on demand, being confident that the ex.
element is at an end. Among those
who have done So are the Citizens Man
haitian, and German Savings Banks.
The prospect IN Wall street is brighten

up in the harbor are already moving

ported that large number Of railroad

Not many of our readers, we dare
say, are familiar with the name of Car
Wilhelm, whose death, on the 26th
ultimo. was thought of sufficient import
anee to be cabled across the seas from
Berlin. But they have all heard of The
Watch on the Rhine" and it was the
composition of the music of the stirring
song that rendered Carl Wilhelm i'm
mortal. On one piece, you say? Yes,
but that one piece was perfect. And so
we find it in every department of litera'
ture and art. A tiny piece Of marble
by Phidias; love lyric by Sappho; a
"Skylark," by Hogg; Song Of the
Shirt" by Hood; Raven" by Poe;
and Burial of Sir John Moore" by
an obscure country parson-these works,
small in themselves, will outlive the
pyramids, and carry down the names OF
their authors to remotest generations.

scraps of genius will live because they
are perfect. -Arcddidn
