These sums Will be payable TO
the schools to which they are al
lowed, i'll equal installments, at
the middle and close of the ten
months term-that is, one half
at the close Of each five months.
In his letter of notification to
the Board Of Directory, he says:
'Inasmrch as the good faith of
the public school officers is
pledged for the due administra-
ton Of this fund, allow me to
+ beg YOU to bear in mind the con-
ditions upon which the aid is
granted, and the obligation Of
your board to report promptly
to this office any failure Oh the
part Of your school to comply
with SAID conditions"
The "cOrditions" upon which
Pc:&,Dody aid is granted, and to
| which the State Superintendent
refers, are as follows:
| /. The school for which aid is
asked must be a Public Free
! School. under the control of the
lawfully constituted local school
authorities.
2. 1t must have a bona tide
enrolment Of not less than one
hundred pupils, averaging eigh-
ty-fve per day.
3. 1t must have an assured
fund for current expenses, a.
mounting to at least twice as
much as the aid received from
the Fund.
4. 1t must be a graded school
of ten months out of twelve.
5. 4 teachermust be furnished
for every fifty pupils, at most.
In his circular giving instruc-
tons to County Superintendent
in regard to aid from the Pea
body Fund, Superintendent
Fleming takes the following ex-
tracts from DR.. Sears letter to
him, relative to the real design
Of the fund:
eve have concluded to con-
tinue substantially the policy of
last year in regard to Tennes-
see, giving nearly the same a
mount, and observing the same
rules. As applications for aid
are becoming:very ncumerOusw we
must not relax our rules, but re-
quire strict compliance with
them. Our aim is to have all
the schools, aided by us, model,
graded schools, kept through the
year, thus giving example of
what public schools should be.
Let every Peabody School do
credit to the system which they
are. designed to promote. The
way to win favor for public
schools is to make them better
than private schools, and to keep
them through the year. This is
the special aim Of our Fund.
4 \ y The smaller country
schools, although not assisted
by us now, will feel the effect of
our success when the State sys-
TEN gets into vigorous opera

There is manifest improvement in the yield
of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Ohio, Kan
sas, Pennsylvania and New Jersey; in Illinois,
Iowa and Michigan there is little difference
from the crop Of 1872, while California and
Indiana have been less favored than last year
The Commissioner of Agriculture believes
that the decrease Of yield in nearly every in
stance, can be traced to the want ofintelligent
cultivation.
A series OF robberies and foul murder
have recently been committed on United
States citizens residing and travelling on the
Mexican border of Texas which seem to in
dictate that the bandtt select Americans AZ
the victims. either as a retaliation for Gen.
Mackenzie's raid into the Kickapoo camp in
Mexico, or because authorities are 30 unfriend
y to the Americans that such crimes can be
perpetrated without fear of punishment. In
many instances the perpetrators have been ar
rested and their guilt established but they
are never punished. The facts have been
proven before the United States Consuls and
sent to Washington, in the hope that redress
will be demanded.

In the South.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 25.-Nearly every bank in
the city has been forced to suspend. The ut
most excitement and confusion prevailed in
the vicinity of the banks, as the eager deposit
tors gathered about the institutions and in
some instances the police had to guard the
doors. Advices from Atlanta, Ga, state that
cotton is arriving freely but there is no money
to move 1T. Every bank in Augusta Ga, has
suspended. The Dollar Savings Bank of At.
lanta, has suspended. The Selma Ala Saw
ings Bank has also collapsed.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 25.--There is quite a
run on the banks, which are paying dollar for
dollar. Business is at a complete stand-still
for want of currency.
LITTLE Rock, Sept 26.-The excitement
continues. Everything il at a stand-still
Very few parties take city money, and no
greenbacks are in circulation.
VICKsDURG, Sept. 26.-The banks have sus-
pended for thirty days as a precautionary
measure
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 26.-There is no run
OIL the banks here, Notwithstanding the ex-
element elsewhere Cotton is being disposed
of rapidly.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 25.-Cotton has
been coming in rapidly, but not a bale has
been sold for want of currency.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 29.-In order to prevent
an anticipated " run" on their institutions the
following banks have temporarily closed their
doors: German Bank, Masonic Savings Bank,
Western Bank, German Insurance Bank,
Louisville Banking Company, Western Ger
man Savings Bank, Central Savings Bank.
The suspended banks are all savings banks,
conducted and owned chiefly by Ger
MANS with long lines of small German depos-
itors. All of them have abundant resources,
many of them being able to pay 80 for every
81 on deposit out of the a, sets. The banks in
the city were heavily drawn on. but are all
right, and will not be affected.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29.-Except symptoms
of general slight asphyxia caused by
scarcity of currency there is little change in
our financial affairs The banks continue to
pay .25 per day to each depostor that de-
mands it..
LITTLE Rock Sept 29.-The money panic
continues. Never in the history of the city
has money been so stringent. 1t is impossible
to get any with any sort of collateral.

The Motions of the Heart.

According to the generally
teachings of psychologists, the heart
rests after each pulsation that is, each
complete contraction during which the
auricles are emptied into the ventricles,
and the ventricles into the vessels, is
followed by moments reposc, when
the organ is entirely at rest. DR.. j..
Bell Pettigrew, in his recently pub
lirhed lectures on the Physiology of
the Circulation, takes different view,
affirming that the normal action of the
heart is continuous one, and that as a
whole it never ceases to act until it
comes to final stop. He says: When
the heart is beating normally, one or
other part of it is always moving. When
the veins cease to close, and the auri-
cles to open, the auricles begin to close
and the ventricles to open and SO on
in endless succession. In order to adj
NIT of these changes, the auriculo-ven-
tricular valves, as has been stated, rise
and fall like the diaphragm in respira-
ton the valves protruding, now into
the auricular cavities, now into the ven
tricular ones. There is in reality no
pause in the hearts action. The one
movement glides into the other as
snake glides into the grass. All that
the eye can detect is a quickening
of the gliding movements, at stated and
very short intervals. A careful exam
nation of the sounds of the heart shows
that the sounds, like the movements,
glide into each other. There is no ac-
tual cessation of sound when the heart
is in action. There are periods when
the sounds are very faint, and when
only sharp or an educated ear can de-
tect them, and there are other periods
when the sounds are SO distinct that
even q dull person must hear; but the
sounds--and this is the point to be at
tended to-merge into each other by
slow or sudden transitions. 1t would
be more accurate, when speaking of the
movements and sounds of the heart, to
say they are only family indicated at
one time, and strongly emphasized at
another, but that neither ever altogether
ceases. If, however, the heart is acting
more or less vigorously as q whole, the
question which naturally presents itself
is, How is the heart rested? There can
be little doubt it rests, as it acts, viz,
in parts. The centripetal and centrif-
ugal wave-movements pass through the
sarcous elements of the different por-
tons of the heart very much as the wind
passes through the leaves ; its particles
are stirred in rapid succession, but
never at exactly the same instant /; the
heart is moving as a whole, but its par
ticles are only moving at regular and
stated intervals; the periods of repose,
there is every reason to believe, greatly
exceeding the periods of activity. The
life and movements of
the heart are, in this sense, synony-
mous.-Popular Science Monthly.

Trophies Brought by Two Youths from
a Den of Rattlers.

In Fayette county, near the line of the
chesapeake and Ohio railroad, there is
famous rattlesnake- den, which has
always been source of terror and fear
to those who have looked over its pre-
cincts, as well as to those who have even
heard of the fearful revelations of the
size and number of the venomous rep
tiles which infest this poison stricken
cavern. In number their name is
legion, and in age, size, and downright
radicalism, there are no figures and
names to represent them. A short time
since two daring young men resolved to
make an experiment, by way of forming
some insight as regarded their numbers,
and, clothing themselves from head to
foot in suits of thick buck
skin with large, sharp knives in
hand, they sailed forth into the poison
infested region. They entered, cutting
and slashing, the snakes rafting, hiss
ing, and striking at their adversaries.
and, when these enterprising youths
landed on the other side, their clothes
were sight to see AS snake would
strike his fangs would be deeply and
firmly implanted in the buckskin, and
oil would go his head by a well-directed
blow by the hand and knife. BY MAX
ing a fair count, it was found that $40
snake heads were attached to the clothes
OF one of the party, and 16O heads
firmly fastened to the other. More
would have been secured, but it was
not a good day for snakes. But any
one who does not believe the foregoing
true story, will be convinced of it's en-.
tire correctness by inquiring at this

VENTION.

To be Held I'm Chicago, Oct. 22, 1873.
The following call has been issued
The State Central Committee of the
Illinois State Farmers Association, at
the request, and with the promised CO.
operation, of many persons throughout
the West, do hereby respectfully invite
the several farmers clubs, oranges,
farmers associations, agricultural socie-
ties, boards of agriculture, and other
organizations of the industrial classes
of the United States and British Prov
inces to send, from their OUn numbers
and identified UiM their interests, one
delegate from each such organization, to
meet at McCormick's Hall, in the city
of Chicago, on Wednesday, the Odd day
of October, at 10 o'clock a. m.
The purpose of this Convention is to
discuss the prevailing overcharges in
transportation to incite and perfect the
organization of the agricultural and
other industrial classes, who chiefly suf-
fer from those overcharges, in every
State, Territory and Province of the
country, with the view of throwing
combined and overwhelming influence
against their future depredations and
10 take SUCH ultuSuItS IT'S stCiIt
prompt and efficient legislation, that
shall end in the complete extinction of
all railway and other monopolies now
preying upon the productive interests of
America.
1t is a matter in which the great agri-
cultural classes of the Northwest are
now the chief parties interested, but in
which also the welfare of nearly all the
States is at stake and we earnestly So
licit and exhort the general selection
and sending of the best men from every
State, to take into careful consideration
the causes now hindering the progress
and impairing the welfare of the people.
Let us have general and able repre-
sentation.

In the West.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-The report that the
banks Of this city had agreed to close their
places for the present is incorrect and had it's
origin in a sensational article in that sensa-
tional sheet, the Chicago Times. The most
the banks did do-indeed the only thing they
dd-at their meeting, was to pass u resolution
recommending and authorizing the banks not
TO pay large checks until the present unexam-
pied scarcity of currency shall have been re-
lieved. The New York banks adopted the
same rule several days ago-those of Phila-
delphia st. Louis, New Orleans, Baltimore
and Cincinnati have done the same. In
for the present, govern itself by
this rule-that IL, pay out currency
only when absolutely necessary, and in limited
amounts or it will be crippled and pushed to
the wall by having it's cash resources entirely
drained out Of it.

panic. 1t is not q confession of insolvency,
but measure of prudence for the protection
