CHRISTMAS.

over the hills of Palestine
The silver stars began To shine;
Night drew her shadows softly round
The slumbering earth, without sound.
Among the fields and dewy rocks
The shepherds kept their quiet tlocks;
And looked along the darkening land,
That waited the Divine command.
when loi through all the opening blue,
Far up the deep, dark heavens withdrew;
And angels IN a solemn light
Praised God to all the the listening night.
Ali said the lowly shepherds then'
The seraph sang goodwill to men;
q hasten. earth, TO meet the morn,
The Prince. the Prince of Peace, Is born.
Again the 4ky was deep and dark,
Each star resumed his silver spark;
The dreaming land in silence lay,
And waited for the dawning day.
But In q stable low and rude,
Where white horned, mild-cyed oxen stood;
The gatcs Of Heaven were still displayed,
For Christ was in His manger laid.

One Hundred FI0rlns for Hair.

1 have made these quotations from the
official reports, translatinR as literally as
am ableto do, in order to show that the
German government is by no means "rgti-
cent" (see leader of the Economist of March
2Sth) as to its intentions. The plain truth is,
that il has as yet no considerable stock of
bar silver, but that it is about to establish
such "a b ard. AS long as the present
privilege of the Bank of Prussia remains un-
altered this may be done without loss of in
terest, this bank being entitled to keep part
of its bullion IN silver bars. But whether
such a stock of German silver exists already
to some extent or whether it is only part of
a future plan, at all events the government
has no intention of selling, unless it can sell
at convenient prices. The IDEA, counte-
nsnced by the gold ultras have mentioned
before, that the German government was
going te sell the great mass of silver, asst
were, by auction, is therefore an erroneous
one.

The little financial hurricane in Wall

significance beyond demonstrating that
there is not particle of confidence existing
in the business world, and the least distur-
bance sets an avalanche of rumors in mo-
ton. sufficient to create a general panic,
The stock market shook as if rent by an
earthquake, and the fright was as wild and
uncomfortable as if there had been one. The
house OF Capron & Merriam, which was
caught in the lurch, seems to have large
share of sympathy
The New York Bulletin, speaking OF for

for exchange comes rather from bankers

believed, will be made in securities, as
Europe seems to want no more American
securities, unless United States bonds or the

specie shipments resumed in May, for our
great crops have mostly gone, and there is
very little to make exchange with.

NEW YORK, April 20.
This has been an eventful day in Wall
street. 1t opened with the failure OF Capron
& Merriam and the c., G. q 1. c. pool, and
this was followed by events which precipi-
tated a panic in the Stock Exchange. The
failures below noticed were followed by
vsrious rumors, all of which tended to dis
turb confidence and unsetSle matters gen.
orally. At one time it was currently re-
ported that Philadelphia railroad official
was unable to meet his notes. Inquiry at
the proper sources failed to substantiate the
rumor. This was followed by report that
President Grant would sign the Senate cur
rency bill and that Comptroller Knox would
Immediately issue instructions to national
banks, requiring them to call home their
legal reserves, now held for redemption in
cities In excess of the amount required I'M
der the new law. Then came report that
railroad and steamship war was likely to re-
suit from the inability of the Pacific Mail,
Panama and Union Pacific to agree upon
some amicable freight arrangement, and
that the Central Pacific road was about con-
summating an agreement with an English
company to put on an opposition line OF
steamers between San Francisco, Japan and
China. All the facts and rumors mem
toned above caused an enormous pressure
