The U. S. Currency Question.

The new Currency bill is signed by the President of the United States, and, of course, is now law by the following provisions :-
 1. It sanctions the increase of the legal tender circulation from 1856, ,OO0,- 900 to $382, ,O0O.O
 2. It promises that beyond this point there shall be no imitation, and req uires also that there shall be no reduction without consent of Congress.
 3. It substantially abolishes the diff ference between greenbacks and Nation al bank notes, since the greenbacks are no longer required as part of the bank reserves.
 A. It reduces the reserves which the National banks are required to keep to per cent, and thus substantially adds to the active circulation $3O,OOO,0OO.
 5. It provides for transferring $55,- OO0,00O of the National bank circula- tion from Eastern to Western banks.
 Five years and four months ago the legal-tender circulation was 1856 OO0,- 900; the semi-legal-tender, or bank cir culation, was $293, 900 900, and the frac- tional currency was 1000, 900, mak- ing total of $686, ,OCO,O00.

The increase in five years is $93, ,OOO.O 900, or tourtee,s 71er cent

Singular Accident.

James Mccormack, residing in Jer- sey City, and 8 woman named Ellen Ryan, residing Tn New York City, were terribly injured by most singular and unaccountable explosion. They had been to church. and were returning home through St. Paurs avenue. Be- tween Grand and Tonnele avenues Mc- Cormack saw some shining substance lying on the sidewalk, and picked it up. Having viewed one side of it he tossed it slightly to the other side. As the article re-alighted upon the palm of his hand it exploded with loud noise. His hand and arm were terribly shat tered, his hand being torn into pieces. The woman was at the time bending over the article, and her face and breast were fearfully cut and burned. She and Mccormack were removed to the Third Precint Station House, whers their wounds were dressed. It was found necessary to amputate McCor- mack's hand ab the wrist, and it is yet doubtful whether or not the arm can be saved. The nature of the article that exploded with such sad results has net been ascertained. It is supposed to have been a charge of glycerine for blasting purposes dropped by some of the workmen in the neighborhood.

A Magician Come to Grief.

The PaU MaW Gazette says "At performance at the Masonic Hall, Lin coin, the other day, among other feats, a magician, or wonder worker sf mod ern miracles as he was termed, was handcuffed, placed in 0 large canvas bag, and then lifted into 8 box, which was put into cabinet. The orchestra then played an overture, and If all had gone we'll the captive in few moments would have extricated himself, or been extricated by spiritual agency, and have made his appearance sitting on the top of the box. Fifteen minutes, however, elapsed without any signs ot the magl- elan, and the audience not unnaturally became anxious. Nor was their anxiety diminished by the souhd of voice from the cabinet faintly calling forassistance. The box was, of course, immediately opened, and terrible sight disclosed to view. The unfortunate man, 1t IS stated, was nearly dead, and blood was observed gushing out of his eyes and nose. A medical gentleman fortunately was present, and the sufferer was con veyed to the ante-room and promptly attended to. The manager subsequently appeared on the platform, and an nounced that most cowardly act had been committed by the man who secured the box, as he must have known seme- thing about the working of the feat, notwithstanding the challenge of $1OO to any person who could secure the box and solve the mystery. The story should be warming both to spectators and performers of tricks of this de- scription,"

Thanking a Lord.

An old Scotchman was taking his grist to mill in sacks thrown across the back of his horse, when the animal stumbled, and the grain fell to the ground. He had not strength to raise it, being an aged man, but he saw a horseman riding along, and thought he would appeal to him for help. But the horseman proved to be the nsbleman who lived in the castle hard by, and the farmer could not muster courage to ask favor of him. But the nobleman was gentleman also, and, not waiting to be asked, he quickly dlsmounted, and between them they lifted the grain to the horses back. John-for he was a gentleman too-lifted his Kilmarnock bonnet, and said: My lord, how shall I ever thank you for your kindness ? Every easily, John, replied the noble man. Whenever you see anothe, man in the same plight as you were in just now, help him, and that will be thanking me-"

Victims of Opium.

A reclaimed victim of opium sends to the Cincinnati Commercial his pre- scription for the cure of the dreadful habit. Arguing that the average vic tim uses of the drug what is equivalent to twenty grains of morphine day, he counsels the preparation, by compe- tent physician or careful druggist, of 270 grains of morphine, p grains of belladonna, and 45 grains of quinine Divide this into ninety pills, each of which will contain three grains of mor- pbine, and begin by taking three pills a day. The nine grains of morphine thus taken, with their admixture, go as far with the patient as did his previous 20 grains day, owing to the peculiar effect of the belladonna in the combi- nation. Lower the quantity of mor- phiue in each successive batch of the pills until two grains per diem are reached, and then lessen the proportion of belladonna and, perhaps. add a small portion of nux vomica. The cure is said to be almost certain, but too much care cannot be exercised as to the quantity and quality of the belladonna, which is a deadly poison in anything over cautiously small doses.

A Light Fine.

This is the way in which an English magistrate administered the law against curelty to animals. Henry Blundell was recently charged with ill-treating a cat at Churchtown. He was seen to seize it by it's neck and put it into 8 hole he had dug in the earth. He then covered it with soil, stamped upon it with his feet, and beat the soil down with a spade. Happily for the cat, some boys who had witnessed the scene dug it out of the hole, and poor wo- man took 1t b ter house, and washed iG aud gavs it some milk. Ths cat only had one leg broken and one eye mutt lated. and having, like all other cats, nine lives, is stated, to be in fair way to recovery. The other brute was actually fined the enormous sum of one shilling, and is said to be utterly crushed by this awful penalty.

A Fast Train.

The newspaper train" be-
tween New York and Philadel-
phia will, sooner or later, fur
Rish materials for a frst-class
horror. Every morning it leaves
New York and runs at a higher
rate of speed than has hitherto
been attained on this continent.
Last Monday it left Jersey City
half an hour late, and caught
up before reaching Trenton,
making fifty-seven miles in fifty
nine minutes. This, however,
was not the fastest time. Near
New Brunswick five miles of
the road were run in three and
a half minutes, or at the rate
Of eighty-six miles an hour
This train was placed on the
road for the purpose of carry
ing the New York morning
papers to Philadelphia, so that
they could be distributed as
early as the Philadelphia jour
mails. The engineer and others
employed con th train have
signed paper declaring that
they will not hold the road re-
sponsible for damages in case Of
accident. Not contented with
simply carrying the mails, pas
senger coaches have been at
tached, making it a regular pas
senger train. In England the
rate of mile per minute is not
considered excessive; there the
roads are constructed with a
special reference to fast run
ming, and the road beds have
a solidity and firmness une-
qualed on this side of the At
lantic.
