BUSINESS.

The circular of Henry Clews Il Co.,
dated May 27th, states that there has been
an excessive stringency of money, extend
ing over six months. Spring business is
dull rcmittances from the country have
been backward /; New York merchants find
that they have provided more goods for the
season than they can sell, and are dropping
prices. Yet, before the monetary crisis
set in, we had abundant crops, with sur
plus of cotton, grain and provisions for eX-
port manufactures We're prosperous, and
there was general spirit of enterprise.
The trouble, according to Clews Il Co.,
was in our banking arrangements, which
made money scarce when it ought to have
been specially plentiful, and he thinks the
national banking laws should be amended.
Now, the circular tells us, the stringency
in money has entirely. disappeared, and the
rate of interest on call loans ranges between
five and seven per cent.
Bonds are dull and stocks low. The con-
struction of new railroads has almost
ceased Except of those already building),
which will have tendency to improve
railroad securities. Another advantage in
favor of railroad bonds is the limiting of
the number of United States bonds in mar
kct. The treasury has bought and can
celed over $500, 100000 in the last four
years, and the amount sent to England
since January LIST, has probably nearly
cqualled the whole exports for the eighteen
months preceding.
Mr. Clews is doubtless correct in suggest
ing that banks might accommodate more
literally with advantage to the business
community. Whether it would be SO safe
to the public is not certain, if we take the
Whole country over. Fifteen per cent of
deposits and circulation is pretty binding,
and does not seem necessary on the circula-
ton, seeing that the circulation of a broken
bank is as good as any, and even worth a

The Supreme Court of Arkansas has an
application before it for the making ana
un-making of a governor The Attorney
General of that State has applied fora writ
of quo warranto to inquire why Governor
Baxter acts as governor. He makes no de-
fence, but couple of attorneys have ap-
reared for him. They will get so confused
in some of those Southern States after
awhile that they will never know their
Judges and governors apart. 1t is time to
stop such foolishness.

The birds have hushed their morning tune,
And woods were still but that the rll

Breathe woodland scents and summer breeze;
With half-closed eye, dreaming lie,

Ny spirit sings of finer things
Than wealth or fame or glory brings.
Why seek the vile OF fortunes smile
When Natures choicest boons bcgulle
Why riches win A.? What peace therein
Does glory dim one single sin
And fame presents what recompensc
For years of strife with soul and sense
Thus, dreaming still, know no i'll
Only languor OF the Will
An Incidence OF mind and sense
Ayleldlng to JOY intense
With golden crest adown the west
The lordly sun sinks TO his rest
And slowly die on yonder sky
The hues the day llings idly by.
The cuckoo's plant Is sweet and faint
AS hymnal OF cloister saint
The crlckets call, and soft DER all,
The night-shades like a blessing fall
But though the light fades on my sight
| know that morn shall rise from night
That rarer dyes o'erspread the skies
Which bend above paradise.

The AIeanest Yet.


There is, unfortunately no lack of mean
men within the world, and every little
while there springs up in some small town
claimant for the honor of being the
meanest man yet discovered. We now
desire to confer upon the aforesaid yet
another local habitation and name.'
In the town of s., Mass, lived two
families in adjoining houses. They
had been neighbors and friends for years
but at last the head of one family was
taken sick with typhoid fever and died.
All the rest of the household lay danger
ously ill with the same disease, and the
Oldest son followed his father SO soon that
one funeral served for both.
Sometime during the illness of their
friends the family in the adjoining house
had loaned the former two old-fashioned,
yellow earthen-ware bowls which had not
as yet been returned. AS the funeral pro-
cession moved down the main street of the
village, it passed the store kept by the
owner of the precious crockery. Rushing
out he stopped the front carriage which

THE FOURTH.


We heartily accord with the senti-
ments Of our morning contemporary In
Its suggestions about the proposed Gel
ebration on Friday next. Indeed We
hardly believe that many of the citl-
tens Of Virginia or Gold Hill are In
such a frame Of mind as to enjoy any
public demonstration on that day.
The calamitous event Of Sunday night
which struck down In an instant so
many prominent citizens has carried
sorrow into many family circles and
hundreds of bereaved friends are in
mourning. To celebrate with music,
pomp and general festivity so 500 fol-
lowing this terrible disaster. and the
funeral obsequies Of Its victims would,
1t GEMS to Us. shock the feelings Of
the whole community. The sugges-
tions Of tile Enterprise with regard to
the money collected for the proposed
celebration, arc we'll timed and sensi-
BILE. We do not believe a single sub
scriber to the celebration fund will
object to the proposition to use the
money for the purpose indicated. viz,
the purchase Of carbolized hose for the
steamers. The citizens Of Virginia
will soon be called upon to purchase
additional hose, unless this money
shall be used for that purpose, and In
view Of all the circumstances 1t seems
eminently proper that the Executive
Committee on the celebration should
act in accordance with the suggestions
OF our cotemporary.

destruction of the town by fire. The
indications are, so we are informed,
that the movement will be successful.
