with their capital, the amount of claims
proved and the dividends paid on the
claims; from which it appears that the
estimated average annual losses of these
years were from $2l, 200 to $40, 100, of
which the mean is $4,000. This, based
on a constant average amount of deposits
of 1914, 800 00O shows the ratio of annual
loss to creditors to be the 1-1S6th part
of per cent. of such deposits, equiv
alent to $5.37l in 100000.
The United States Treasurer, Gen.
Spinner, furnishes a statement showing
the total amount of money entries as
they appear on the books in his Office,
covering period of eleven and one-half
years, from June 30, 1861 to Jan. 8, 1872,
to be $50, 1O4 ,232 ,2s2 S4 The loss during
these eleven years was $55,057 .45 or less
than one dollar to each million of dol.
lars that passed through the hands of the
Treasurer and his subordnates.
These statements will be accepted, we
think, by all reasonable minds as conclu-
sive on the subject of defalcations.
Since the dates included in each division
Of the report no defalcation has occurred,
to the amount of dollar, in the United
States Treasury; ard none in the bu-
fcauS Oh tne COMMISSIONER OI lHtcTudl
Revenue or of the Collector of Customs
of any Importance. Irregularities in the
receipts and some few losses have grown
out of the paralysis in business follow
ing the panic of September last; but
these will, in nearly every case, be made
good. The very fact that the internal
revenue receipts for the last fiscal year
exceeded the estimates of the Commits
sioner by about ten million dollars goes
far to establish the integrity and fidelity
of all connected with that department
of the Government.
Compared with transactions in private
business these results show fewer losses
than aretmet with in the best regulated
and mos cautious corporate bodies en-
gagged in railroad, manufacturing, or
other enterprises, or among business
firms who scrupulously superintend their
| own mercantile affairs
Altogether the siX-and-a-half years of
President Grants Administration that
have already passed into history have

| tegrity which may well command the

people who mainly furnish the annual
revenues.-Republic Aagazsne.

Monkeys.

MONKEYS have many pleasing quail
ties; some OF the species are very gentle,
and capable of considerable affection
toward human beings. There is, how
ever, that about monkeys, in this country
at least, which should etlectually stand
in the way Of their becoming pets. They
have almost always, every one Of them,
the seeds of fatal consumption; their
lives are always to be measured by few
months, and their antics are none the
fewer though they are racked every now
and then by dry, hectic cough Their
illness depresses them, but nothing can
deprive them of their love of mischief,
and this contrast of builoonery and de-
preston is one reason why tame mon
key makes one of the most melancholy
of pets. They are CHASTITY humorsts;
they are drol in season and OUT their
gayety is like that ascribed to the Chi
ncse, who laugh to see the executioncr
fog or behead a criminal A monkeys
humor is Of kind that ! could never
enter into. 1t IS founded on the doing
of mischief. Let the man who does not
believe me watch d monkey playing with
puppies or kittens, and compare their
innocent rlayfulness with the cruel
tricks the monkey will put upon them

Seeing is Believing.

If in this liberal age there are persons to be
found who are so blinded by prejudice as not to
believe that medicated stimulant is an item
of immense Importance in the catalogue OF
human remedies, we should like for them to
witness the wonderful effects which Hostel
ter's Stomach bitters are now producing all over
the country in cases of intermittent fever, r,rheu-
matism, bilious disorders, dyspepsia, nervous
complaints, constitutional debility, mental de-
preston and permanent decay. To be sure,
these effects are nothing new. The great veget-
able invigorant and its cures have been before
the people for more than twenty years, and
in every year of the twenty-five its popularity
has increased and its sale become larger. Yet
there are no doubt many thousands of intelli-
gent citizens who have never had an opportu-
nifty of observing for themselves the surprising
changes which this unequaled tonic and alter
aIive produces in systems which seem TO be
hopelessly broken, and in cases ofdisease which
are not amenable to ordinary remedies. Prob
ably many of these regard the statements made
in relation to the sanitary properties of the bit
ters with some degree of incredulity. Would
that all such sl1eptics could see with their own
eyes what the medicine is doing for the sick
and feeble everywhere, what staff of life it is
proving to the aged and infrm what a help in
time of trouble to feeble women suffering from
the complaints and disabilities peculiar to the
sex what a protection TO heal tn and life in ma
larious districts, what panaeea for languoc and
depression what a specific for all diseases in
| which the system requires to be vitalized and
sustained. Ofall stimulants it is the purest md
safest, of all tonics the most genial, effective
and agreeable, of all alternatives the least Vio-
| lent and the most certain in its beneficial re-
suits.

John Dauber is a German, who carries
on a furniture establishment on Main
Street, opposite the Depot He is one of
the leading men in the temperance move
ment in this place. Some person, desir-
ing to injure him in his business, has
started report that he said all foreign
ers ought to be sent back to their native
country. He denies this, but says that
what he did say was this; That if for
eigners do not like the laws of this
country. and areinot willing to obey our
laws, this is free country, and there is
nothing to prevent them from going
back; that they are not compelled to
remain here and obey laws which they
do not like .as
Mr.. Dauber says that it is reported
that Frank Motz circulated this report
about what he should have said, but Mr..
Motz never told such a story, and he
will confirm this statement to any one
who will call upon him. a@@

Ere companies Of jackson had another
contest. 1t had been agreed that when
the white company got up three pounds
of steam to the square inch, the Court
House bell should be tapped, and both
companies should start with their en-
gines The coIored company were to
have the cistern in front of the Court
House, and the other company the els
tern at the Gibson House. Hundreds of
people lined the streets. The bell tapped
shortly after seven o'clock, when the
engines came forth, the hand engine up
Main Street, and the steam engine up
Broadway. The eolored troops were a
little ahead, and having the advantage of
distance this time, were at work first,
and threw the first water by three min
utes. Both companies did well.
