like many other tlicgs wholly incidental, but o
| enough consequence to warrant every soldier
coming to life md dying again, in order to have
died for this glorious carrency also. Your dead
soldier might hayo new staEza written tor Lii

| carded there, according to the fashion;
| On fames eternal stuInpinR-ground
HI: glorious stamps gprend,
t And Richard guards with solemn sound
The currency If the dead.
/ Or thus, on the re.,os:ug veteran:
No more he hears tho stirring drum,
Or cke tho long tattoo:
But ouly hearS the fce-fo-fuIn
or red-faced man III blue.
Such views OF currency, finance, compound in-
terest and national wealth, rs 1Ir. Oglcsby holds,
are indicative OF cheerful chld-like faith, and
great agility at leanins over the technical, It il
the technical which makes all the difficulty in
this ifo When you Wish to tonch tho true prin-
ciples OF finance in the Oglcsby Institute, you
will put it in tllis form, and have no equlyocatou
about it,:
Teacher: "What kind Of currency have wo ~
Pupil: "a glorious cu1rcucy."
Teacher; "Why is it glorious currency?"
Pupil: " Because it was founded On the beat
blood Of the country"
The school will at once "let out" or adjourn

CASTOR AND PoLLUx.
Illinois las the most glorious delegation in tho
sonnte. Its 6euators appear to have becn So
lectod for qualifications such as tho "Dig-Meet-
ing negroes had on the Eastern Shore OF Mary
land, prior to their emancipation. In every
summer and autumn season, four or five big
Meetings., wero held to Which all the darkeys
camc from four or five coun!ies,-eome trudging

others again mounted on induleent masters sad
dle-horses, or oven driving the great family
carrlage. Each county had it's representative
shouting negro, who WAS expected to por-
form his widest HallelujaLs to sho1

occasion, it is said, the 'B;g- aleoting' m.a OF

his departure for Big safom followed by Ill tho
men and woncles III tho district White folks
did their own cooking taat Sunday. Even wh1to
folks knew there WAS some limit to African eu-
Meeting" day. The attendance ut Big S4lem
was immense. Both tho champion negroes were
IN deep religious stupor, apparently unconscious
OF the presence of each other but once or twice
furti4o glance showed that they we're secretly
getting each others measure. When the sermou
was done, and tho singing AMI praying got wnrnl,
the Ebonezer shouting mau suddenly raised =
yell, bounced to his feet, leaped over bcnch fell
into pile OF females, ripped hia jacket, Bprang
at his Lord, grappled With Apollyon, and, for tho
light and terror. :.
The Big Salem negro for some time made no
response. until he was at last observed to tako

face, and look around with certain esg!e glance
not entirely unknown on the btnmp in some
parts OF the West and South. Tho Ebenczer

at these silent arrangements, until his curiosity

The right-worthy and Queerly-as serted Repre-
sentative Of the First District o. Illinois in Con
gress, who is native Of the most stEastern-Shore-
like Of all Eastcrn-Shore places,-Easton, IN Dor

1ot count h.cm years against him which he
spent between Miles aud Threadhtven Rivers;
