limited, by law, to three hundred and fifty
four millions of dollars, which is all, or
viii within few weeks be issued This
does not afford sufficient currency with
which to transact the ordinary business of
the country There may or may not be
the same amount of specie in the country
that there was thirteen years ago, but this
really makes no difference because gold
ahd silver can never become general cir
culating medium. The deficiency in cur
rency, with which to carry on the business
OF the country, is supplied by treasury
notes-generally known as greenbacks
The country needs just SO much money
with which to transact business If the
amount is increased an initiation of business
Is caused and speculation, with attendant
extravagance, results. Decrease the
amount and general stagnation of busi-
ness follows. These results are as newt
able as the seed time and the harvest. I'm
less something Unforeseen occurs, the pay
fsnent gold interest," the Importation of gold
from Europe to purchase the products of
our SOIL and judicious sale of gold by the
government will, within six weeks-or by
the assembling of Congress place our cur
rency and specie nearly upon a par If at
this time, for Congress can then act in the
premises, the national banking privileges
are thrown open to all, with the provision
that for every dollar of national bank bills
issued dollar Of treasury notes shall he
destroyed, it seems to us that great step
will be taken toward the resumption of
| specie payments. Banking is profitable,
and associated capital will engage in the
the business and furnish currency as fast
as needed, and rs fast as greenbacks are re-
tired. These bank notes being good be
yond all contingency, the people
will have confidence in them, and
with specie, for time, at or
near par, he demand therefor upon
the part of bill holders would be insignif-
cant. So long as the government circu-
lates its treasury notes as money, it will be
impossible to return to specie payment.
Put the furnishing of money into the
hands of associated enterprise, with the
bills secured as they must be, confidence
! would return at once. The currency of
the country docs not exceed, we are told,
the amount in circulation in the times be-
fore the government took upon itself the
business Of issuing its treasury notes and
making them legal tender. If this is so,
the retiring of greenbacks nnd the substitu-
ti0n therefor of national bank bills will be
the first great step toward the restoration
of confidence and the consequent return of
so,called specie payment

I've been Thinking.

I've boon thinking, I've been thinking
What glorious world were this,
Did folks mind their own business more
Ana mind their neighbors less.
For instance, you and my friend,
Are sadly prone TO talk
or matters that concern US not,
And others fOllles mock.
I've been thinking, II we'd begin
To mend our own affairs,
That possibly our nelghbors might
C0ntrlve TO manage theirs.
We've faults enough at home to mend,
IL may be 50 with others
IL would seem strange II II were not,
Since all mankind are brothers.
Oh would that we had charity,
For every man and woman,
Forgiveness Is the mark OF those
Who know to "err is human"
Then let us Danish jealousy
Let's lift our fallen brother,
And as we journey down life's road
'DO good to one another"

LIGHT AND SHADE.
Matters Grave and Gay From All
Sources.

lbNllOlt Titt ltSo.
Among party of Swedish immigrants
arriving here Tuesday morning was a
comely young fellow about twenty years
old, and plump little lassie perhaps two
years younger. Anybody could see that
the young man was in love with the girl,
and also discover that she was a great CO.
quette. They walked up Third street arm
in-arm, up Larned, over on to Woodbridge,
and he almost loaded her down with candy,
figs. apples, and the like. Her mother, a
wel-tO-do widow, gave both tall old bless
ing as they got back to the depot; and as
the young man is in poor circumstances it
is pro able that she told him he could new
er call her his mother-in-law and he get off
abusive hits and tough jokes about her. At
least it was something to make him feel
very badly for he went off down below the
flour sheds and took off his coat, boots, and
vest and leaped into the river. He was
observed by half dozen men, who "snak-
ed" him out in Il hurry, and he was led back
to his friends, who were all greatly excited
over his conduct. The girl wept, the
mother got her voice up to Wachtel's high
est and then told him what she thought of
such business, and some of the men threat
ened to hold her head under the pump.
The young mau is going to have his little
lassie or else he's going to a world where
there is no marrying or giving in marriage !;
and he sat crying bench, with the river
water trickling dOwn-his back from his wet
hair, he didn't seem to care u cent which
horn of the dilemma he took.

THE AQUARIUN.

After long discussions and numerous
controversies the sum Of three hundred
thousand dollars was, three years since, ap.
proprated for the reclaiming of portion
of the ancient strand from the sea and for
the erection of marine aquarium which
was TO surpass any similar production in
the world. To-day the work is completed
and the projectors congratulate themselves
upon success exceeding their most san
guine expectations. The massive building
stands within few feet of the rolling surf
and is reached by flight of granite steps
which lead into an entrance hall of superb
dimensions, Ornamented with statues, flow
crs, vases, friezes of Neptune and Nymph-
life and globes of sea anemones. From this
hall extend three corridors, 80 feet in
length by 80 in width, the walls of which
are the great plate-glass sides of the Irish
tanks, through which Il perdgueOts light
illumines the corridors. At the end bust
of sunshine is visible from the conservatory
which is an enclosed space of 200 feet, in
which eXotics and ferns flourish and vines
Chamber upon the rocks, from which cas-
cade, twenty rect high, dashes itself and
forms miniature river IN Whlch seals dis-
port themselves among the grottoes ana

The roofs OF the corridors are construct
ed of variegated bricks resting upon col
umns alternately of polished serpentine
marble and Aberdeen granite, the capitals
being carved in appropriate marine devices
of birds, fish, shells and weed. The tanks
are ranged upon the sides having glass

AN INFANT INCENDIARY.
[San Francisco Bulletln.l

Henry Wolf, lad eight years old, was
arrested Tuesday afternoon on charge
of arson, On Wednesday evening fire
was discovered in the Philadelphia House
and in the saloon No. 437 Bush street. In
both of these places the fire was extinguished
with slight loss, without the aid of the De-
partment The matter was referred to Mr..
Durkee, who arrested the gnilty party and
obtained from him a full confession Of this
and other crimes. Wolf states that ON July
o he set fire to an unoccupied house on Har-
Ian place, and two nights afterwards set it
on fire again. No material damage was
caused, as the fire was discovered in time
to prevent an extensive conhagrntion. Six
weeks ago he set fire to his parents resi-
dence but the flames were extinguished
without loss. A week later he set IRE 70 q

A BIG BLOW.
New Orleans Herald.l


Last evening, while the chief engineer
of lungtester was expaiiating upon
the benefits to be derived from the free use
of his instrument, cadeyerous individual
stepped out of the rOwd and remarked to
him:
"Mister, do you think it would help me
any to blow into that cam"
eyes, sir; certainly; it would expand
your chest, give elasticity to your lungs,
and lengthen your life. Why, you'd soon
be able to blow 800 pounds and win the So
prize"
"Why, does fellow get S. when he
blows that many pounds"
Eyes, sir; wouldn't you like TO make n
trial?" with knowing wink to the crowd.
81 don't care if do said Greens, walk
ing around and planking down dime of
the greasy shinplaster sort.
Then taking the mouth piece in his hand,
he made ready. He opened his mouth un-
til the hole in his face looked like dry
dock for ocean steamers, and began To take
in wind The initiation was like that of the
Graphic balloon, but not so disastrous.
That fellows chest began to grow an dis.
tend until he resembled pouter pigeon
more than n man, at which point he put
the mouth-piece TO his lips and blew with
such force that his eyes came out and stood
around on his cheek-bone to see what was
the matter-but that can-top went up like
flash, and the needle of the indicator spun
around like the button on country school
house door, until il stood still at 500 pounds (!
The crowd chcered, ana the keeper of the
can paid over the IS in stamps, with a NUT
ter of astonishment. But Greens pocketed
them colly, and turning to the spectators,
said;
'Iook here, gents, that amt nothing to
do at all for man who has been bugler
in deaf and dumb asylum for seven years,
like me-"

On the second Saturday OF August, every year,

N j., flock to tnat embryo watering place to enjoy
themselves generally and have dip in "the briny."
When or how the day was first made festival it

series of years 1t has been "a greater day. than
ST. Patricks or the GLORIOUS Fourth" Saturday
last was entitled to red letter in the "Sat Water'
calendar. The inpouring OF the multitudes began
days before, and continued until late Saturday
evening. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company ran
extra trains and the excursion steamers wyoming
and Pleasant Valley made two trips. Every avail
able mode OF conveyance was resorted to. Fully
five thousand persons must have visited the town.
Many individuals were discovered upon whom the
solar rays and the dusty streets had worked most
tireul change. There are ninety three saloons in
which Intoxicating liquors are dispensed In South
Amboy-a place or four or five thousand inhabi-
tants-and every one OF these places is ''coining
money! The "tirove,n where the people most do
congregate Is upon blum overlooking the Lower

with a 1ne sandy beach front for bathing purposes,
and is directly upon the line OF the New York and
