dempton, and without loss resulting from the high
rates Of exchange which have always prevailed un.
der such system. .
Regarding the question Of interest on deposits
and certidcation OF checks, the Comptroller says:
In my last annual report referred brieny 70
the evils resulting from the payment Of interest
upon deposits, and my predecessors nave frequent-
ly referred more ut length to the same subject.
The difficulty has been that the proposed legisla-
ton by Congress upon the subject would apply
only to national banks. The effect Of such leyis-
lation would be TO bring State banks and savings
banks organized by the authority Of the different
States in direct competition with national banks
In securing the accounts IF correspondents and
dealers. The national banks will be DESTROYS of
retaining their business, and the more unscrupu-
lOus would not stop to evade the law by offering to
make collections throughout the country free Of
SION and re.discount paper At low rates.
1.-The kind Of legislation needed is that which
shall apply 10 all banks and bankers alike, whether
organized under the national currency act other
laws. law prohibiting the pa ment Of interest
on deposits by National Banks will have little ef-
authority Of the different States. and there h little
hope that such legislation can be Obtained"
Inc Comptroller repeats the recommendation In
last years report for repeal Of section ., Of the
ACT OF July. 1870, which provided that after the
distributed, $500, o. additional rhai be with
drawn from the banking associa: ions organized I'm
States having an exccss, and distributed among
States having less than their proportion. Under
this section that amount would be withdrawn from
New York, Massachusetts,, Connecticut and Rhode
Island, and the Comptroller also recommends the
authorization Of s., UO0OCO more currency. to be
distributed among States which are deficient,
namely thOee of the South and West. He il uf the
opinion that It would require from three to five
years to distribute this additional amount.

The Interior Department.

The Secretary Of the interior, in his annual re-
port regards the situation in the Indian service A.
favorable, and as a vindication Of the proprirty
and practicability OF the humane policy which
was inaugurated at the beginning of President
Grants executive term, and which has governed
the department in the transaction Of all business
matters pertaining to the conduct Of Indian al airs
satisfactory progress toward the accomplishment
OF the ends sought to be attained by this policy
has already been made, fully justifying the hope
that 1t will eventually achieve the end In view.
Inc Secretary recommends that the system Of
cash annuities be abolished, and that PAYMENTS to
the Indians be hereafter made in goods and sup
plies.
He suggests that the moneys due the prairie
bands Of Pottawatomies and Kansas Indians be
invested in Government bonds and placed to the
civilization, to be used bv the Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs for that object, both interest and
principal, at such times and in such manner a. the
Government should assist the Indians DESTROYS Of
securing permanent homes by donations OF stock
and farming implements. The first step toward
homes Is the establishment and right enforcement

bitter and hostile to the Sioux. II these friendly
tribes could be lioerally supplied with improved

The Secretary refers to the lawless condition Of
the lndsac Territory, and says il the Ocmulgee
constitution, with the proposed amendments, il
not adopted at the next meeting Of the Indian
Council, and Congress does not deem it advisable
to erect a Territorial Government within the Ter

When the connection between the
two sections Of the waterworks tunnel
was made ut Cleveland, Ohio, about two
months ago, it was thought that the work
was substantially finished, but in clearing
out that portion of the tunnel which was
filled with sand, it has been found that
the earth had washed away under the
tunnel, and the brickwork had settled
from two to six feet, causing bad break.
1t Is not known how far the break ex-
tends, as the shore end has not yet been
cleaned. The trouble begins at q point
$500 feet shoreward from the crib. 1t
has been decided to make detour around
the break, by constructing 500 or 600 feet
of new tunnel. This will delay the COM
pletiOn Of the work for some months.

Incidents and Accidents.

While some men were excavatinp for
vaults under the sidewalk of q new build.
ing in Cleveland, Ohio, recently, the earth
gave way and Lewis Heisel was thrown
so violently against a stone pier as to
break in the skull and cause almost i'm.
mediate death.
Elder James Hammond of WEXFORD.
\. l., was killed lately BY being thrown
from a carriage at Davisville. He was on
his way to Frenchtown to hold an even
ing meeting, when the horse became
frightened, and while proceeding over a
bridge the carriage struck the abutments,
and Elder Hammond was thrown into the
water.
One day recently, resident of De
troit Michigan, named Kinney, was STOP
ped BY highway robber, who made the
usual demand. Kinney, who is slow and
thoughtful, considered the matter, and an
swered that he had but 81 in his wallet,
that he was out of work, and had large
family on his hands. The robber doubted
his word, and Kinney exhibited the mon.
ey, the robber striking match so that he
could see, but holding his face away from
the light. When he had inspected the
bill, he handed it back, with the remark
that he wouldn't rob working man, and
that he had more money than that in his
own wallet.
At Canton, ILL.,, recently, Miss Addie
Bower, while riding on horseback, was
suddenly thrown off backward. Her
ridingskirt caught upon the saddle.horn
and held fast, the horse starting to run.
BY an extra effort she managed to grasp
the saddle and partially raise herself, but
the girth was loose and the saddle partial.
ly turned with her. The horse ran up.
ward of mile with the lady hanging in
this manner, her body occasionally strik-
Ing the ground, and being struck by the
horses legs. Miss Bower retained her
presence Of mind, and maintained her
grip upon the saddle. The horse was
finally stopped by running into the fence,
and Miss Bower released herself. For.
tunately no bones were broken, but her
nervous system sustained such severe in.

Hs NJ. RI
Come here. little Maidie,
Sit on my knee;
Then will tell you
Of Chick a -de-dee.
See the dear sparrOws,
Out in the cold;
Hopping and singing, q.
Merry and bold.
A little old woman,
Muf1ed in gray;
With furry white leggins,
Is Madame to-day.
And as for her husband
The busy old man!
He's picking up bread crumbs,
AS fast as he can.
And there go the children,
Hurrying by;
Why, surely it's school time,
dust see how they fly!
They are not frowning
To-day i'm pet;
Aud crying, sob! mamma,
Need 1 go yet?"
A snug little party,
To set off for school;
As trim and as dainty
AS if dressed by rule.
And the little gray mother,
Goes busting around;
A careful prOvider,
Inspecting the ground.
They chatter and chatter,
And fiutter in glee;
think they're as happy
AS brides can be.
"Oh! mamma" blushed Maidie,
s'You're only in fun!
always can tell, when
Your story is done.
ssI'm off in twinkling,
To school, mamma dear;
I'll try to remember
To-day all hear.
'I'll 90 like the sparrows,
Fast as can fly;
And be just as happy,
So mamma-gOod-bye."
