IT is a noteR Orthy fact that this fall

west OF OHIO have asked for accommo-
dltions Of their New York correspon-
dents. This unusual experience is
probably to be acc united for mainly
BY the fact that the West has grown
rich, and therefore has more capital of
her own. but partly. also, by the fact
that one effect Of the panic was to
change \ great many country bank ac-
counts from New York banks to West

To ascribe the phenomenon n cues.
ton to any wealth of West or South
suddenly acquired This fall or winter, is
-sublinfefy ridiculous. 1t may be that
the panic has induced a more conserva-
tive course on the part Of Western
banks, and led them 70 withdraw a por-
ton of their funds from the range of
Wall street speculation. But q more
powerful result Of the panic, and one
which explains the whole affair, is tie
industrial stagnation that has followed
in It's wake. When industry and CON-
merce are half idle, they make only
half their usual demands on the
banks.

THE testimony taken by the Investi-
eating Committee in New York, shows
that Vim. S. King. Postmaster Of the
House OF Representatives, received
Sll5.e00 for his services in helping to
work through the subsidy for the
Pacific hail Company. On Feb. 25,
1873, he was examined before a CON-
mittee.of Congress. and in reply TO a
question whether he had received any
money in behalf of this scheme, an
swered, "Not one dollar, directly or in
directly" To the further question
whether he had expended any money
for any body else, he answered, "Not
one dollar, directly or indirectly" In
tim4sions are already thrown out that
King will be prosecuted for perjury.

IT is stated 10y The Washington cor
respondent of TIE Cincinnati Enquirer,
that the idea of sending Sheridan to
the South originated with the brilliant
intellect Of Grant, who, maddened at
the refusal of the South to support
him fore a third term, is now req
dy to pursue the most malignant
and unsparing policy toward
her people. The correspondent adds:
''There is direct authority for stating
that Grants feelings for the South are
of the most bitter and vindictive cha
racter, and are freely expressed in con-
versation. Those who are in a position
to know say that if he could get a
plausible pretext for it he would shoot
down the people of Louisiana Ike
dogs. Let us have peace.

now erected triumphal arch, bear

As the Genaral rode uDder the arch

The Laugh of n Woman.

4 woman has no natural gift more
bewitching than sweet laugh. 1t is
like tho sound of flutes on the water,
il flows from her in a clear, sparkling
rill; and the heart that hears it feels
as is if bathed in a cool cXbiiiratlng
spring. Have YOU ever pursued an
unseen fugitive through trees, led on
by fairy laugh'now her cnow there
now lost now found, We have.
And we are pursuing that wondering
voice to this day. Sometimes 1t
comes TO us in the midst of care or
sorrow or irksome business; and then
we NAV turn away and listen, and
hear is ringing through the room
like silver bell, with power to scare
away the evil spirits of the mind.
How much we owe 10 that sweet
laugh 1t turns the prose TO poetry
it filings flowers Of sunshine over the
darkness Of the wood in which We
are travelling; it touches with light
even our sleep which is no more the
image of death, but is consumed
with dreams, that are the shadows Of
Immortality.
