MONETARY.


SATURDAY EVENING, Feb H..
In the local money market, business continues
dall and money abundant. The daily clearingr
Of the banks now average only about two-thirda
as much as they did month ago. The rates Of
interest in the open market are nominal]y main
tanned at 10 per cent for thirty and ai1ty-day
loans, and per cent on cali, though there is 3
good deal mora money offered 1t these rates
than finds borrowers.
New York exchange was quotable 1t 6oo per
$1,000 discount to-day.
Tho movement on the part OF some Of the
banks to have Monday, the 23dy kept as = holi
day, failed, because some OF the banks did not
feel justified in making such an agreement.
The clearinghouse will, therefore, be open
for business at the usual hour on Mon
d1y, and it is to be presumed thAt the backs
will also. The bank have no legal right to de-
mand the payment .to-day (saturday) Of notes
maturing On Monday, as they would If Monday
were legal holiday, and rs they probably would
no. consent to defer the payment Of snch
notes until Tuesday, there is no way but for
them to keep open. Tho 22d Of February is,
however. q legal holiday in New York, and it is
understood that Monday, the 23d, will be OBJ
served Is q holiday n that city.

Hints to COmik Lecturers.

Comik lekturing IL an unkommon
pesky thing tew do.
1t liz more unsarting than the rat
ketching Dizziness az means of grace
or az a means ov livelyhood.
Most emmy body thinks they can do it,
and this IL jist what makes it so bother
sum tew do.
When it liz did jist enuff it il a ter
rifck success but when it iE overdid it il
like burnt slapjack very impertinent.
Thare aint but phew good judges ov
humor and they all differ about it.
Whenever a man haz made up hiz
mind that he iz wit then he iz mis-
taken without remedy; but whenever
the publik haz made up their mind that
he haz got the diseaze then he haz got
it sure.
Individuals never git this thing right;
the publick never git it wrong.
The publick never cheat themselfs
nor other folks when they weigh out
glory.
Thare IL jist 16 ounces in a pound ov
glory, and no more, that IL by the pub
lick's steelyards.
No man kan be helthy phool unless
he haz nussed at the brest ov wisdom.
Those who fail in the comik bizzness
are them who have bin put out to nuss,
or bin fetched up on bottle.
If a man IL genuine humorist he IL
superior tew the bulk ov hiz aujience,
and will oftentimes hav tew take hi7
pay for his services in thinking so.-

A Trouble in the Way.

A candidate for Congress in the Mil
waukee district was in the field two
weeks distributing his money and max
ing things lively, when it was ascer-
tanned that, although a resident OF Mil
waukee for nearly thirty years, he be-
came full citizen only in November,
1872. and is therefore ineligible under
the Constitution, which requires every
representative in Congress to be a citi-
zen for at least seven years. Under
the State laws of Wisconsin, any alien
residing in the State one year, and
having declared his intention to become
a citizen, is voter, and thus the candi-
date has been voter during more than
twenty years without being citizen of
the United States. But now this law
of Wisconsin interferes with his going
to Congress, although he has served
several times in both branches of the
State Legislature, and has been acting
Mayor of Milwaukee for term.
