"Our American Team" visited Woolwich
arsenal on Wednesday. 1t is recorded that
they saw great many guns tnere.

SINGULAR PnENoMENA.-It was mentioned
Yesterday that lightning struck the house of
Mr.. Bryan Akers, on Diamond Hill, Tues.
day afternoon and we now learn that at the
same instant round substance, apparently
about five or six inches in diameter, entered
the DO use adjoining, belonging to Mr.. E. d.
Christian, passing through the dining
room and library, the doors and windows OF
which were open. In The diniDg-room were
Mrs. Christian, her daughter, son, and other
members Of the family all of whom dis
tinctly saw the ball and describe it as being
OF reddish cast. aud having every appear
ance of a ball of fire. MIR. Christian, who
was lying on sofa in an adjoining room,
also saw it, and gives similar description Of
it. Mrs. Christina and the other members Of
her family in the room were considerably
shocked, but whether from the bolt striking
the house of Mr.. AkeIs, or the passage Of it
through their own house, they are unable TO
say. The occurrence is most singular one,
and we leave it to those better versed in
scientific lore than ourselves to give an ex.
planation of it.-Lyachburg Ne,cs.
I'VE suspect that that ball of fire was of
tue kind that people see when struck over
the head. They "see stars" 1t was harm
less, and lightning that passes through a
house is hardly ever Of that kind. Our re-
is that similar ball Of fire was
seen by the people in the house that was re-

SPENCER on FlNANCE.-Uerbert Spencer
stands among the first writers and thinkers
Of this aye. He studies and writes for the
sake of truth. Hence the following from
his pen will he fresh and invigorating TO
thirsty souls Of this time:
"1he monetary arrangements Of any CON-
munity are ultimately dependent, like most
other arrangement on the morality OF its
members. Amongst people altogether dis
honest every mercantile transaction must be
effected in coin or goods, for promises TO
pay cannot circulate at all when, by the by
pothesis, there is no probability that they
will bc redeemed. Conversely, among per-
fcctly honest people, paper alone will form
the circulating medium, and metallic money
will be needless. Msnifrstly, therefore,
during any intermediate state, in which men
are neither altogether dishonest nor alto.
scther honest, mixed currency will exist !;
and the ratio Of paper to coin will vary With
the degree of trust individuals place in each
other.
"There seems no evading this conclusion.
The greater the prevalence OF fraud the
greater will he the number of transactions in
which the seller will plrt with his goods only
for an equivalent of intrinsic value-that is,
the greater will be the number of traDslc-
tons III which coin is required, and the more
will the metallic currency preponderate, On
the other band. the more generally men find
each other trustwo rthy the more frt quently
will they take payment in notes, bills of eX-
change, and checks; the fewer will be the
cases ID which gold and silver are called for,
and the smaller will be the quantity of gold
and silver in circulation"

Advances to Railroads.

The late catastrophe among the bankers Is
largely owing to advances TO railroads. The
railroads "played mob" with the bulls and
bears. A train going al fifty miles an hour
could have done no greater execution by
running into flock Of sheep. The beasts OF
the New York money market were ripped,
qul,tered, and scattered. The cow.catcher
slsthered the bulls. .-
Railroad bonds, braring gold interest, pay.
able in London and New York, first mort
gage, elegantly engraved and printed, were
Irresistible as collaterals at fifty cents In the
dollar for advances at fifteen per cent. lutte
rest. The bankers swallowed them so greed
ily that they were overcome with surfelf, like
the Demonstration, and slept for time, TIL
the roads failed to lift their notes, and then,
the colaterals being brought to the tes''
sarunk to degree that aroused the lately
porocd bankers to q fearful sense Of their
dagger. This process set the ball IN mo'ion
! in '72. AID the house just failed owes its fate
to this sort of Advancing upon heavy snaVes
to insolyent corporations. All bankers no"
fully appreciate the importance of keeping
out OF The way of the train.
This complication Of the bankers with tnc
railroads has crushed the blnkers under TIE
wheels of the railroad kings. while 1t has
done infinite irjury 10 the country. Inc
Ib,stering up of railroad kings under cor
rup, system has enabled them to do great
deal in the way Of IaiIrold scheming ana
monoplizipg that has injured commerce and
oppressed the people.
1t vas out of the line Of honest banking,
and the transsressors have paid heavily for
their sin. The corrupt system has come,
very properly, to grief, and we shall now see
how tue interruptions railroad kings VIII
rather I'D their securities and make out their
cases with the stockholders and the public.
We are satisfied Of one thing That the dis
asteys of the last two years and the awful
shrinkage of railroad securities will bring
ma tiers to a focus and very much modify
the course Of things. Arrogant railroad
kinys will step down to lower seat. and be-
have with more propricty and consideration.
Thsre arc those amongst them who thought
they bad the world 10 sling who will en-
terrain quite different opinion OF them
selves. 1t will do them good.

T,hr National Banks,

We do not concur with those So.ca.lel in
flationisis who propose to abolish the ~.
ional banks. They are safe aud useful.
Their circulation is absolutely guaranteed,
and they are media for the emission of that
circulation, in the absence of which we are
not sati, fed that there would be q very clear
and commendable way for it to reach the
public. We do not see that the idea Of the
Government putting afi)at Treasury notes
could be well carried out without the help Of
the banks.
The syste m of deposting United States
bonds as security for currency is very good.
In view of all the burthens imposed upon
the banks we do not see any objection to
their drawing the interest upon bonds n.y.
pothecated to secure the payment OF their
