a Grecian Legend.

When Bacchus was q boy he jour
neyed through Hellas to go to Naxia,
and as the way was very long lie grew
tired and sat down upon stone to rest.
AS he sat there, with his eyes upon
the ground, he sawa little plant spring
up between his feet, and was SO much
pleased with it that he determined to
take it with him and plant it in NaXia.
He took it up and carried taway with
him; but, as tie sun was very hot, lie
feared it might wither before he
reached his destination. He found a
birds skeleton, into which he thrust
it, and went on. But in his hand the
plant sprouted so fast that it started
out of hebones above and below. This
gave him fresh fear of it's whitening,
and he cast about for n remedy. He
found lions bone, when was thicker
than the birds skeleton, and he stuck
the skeleton, with the plant in it, into
the bone of the lion. Ere long, how
ever, the plant grew out of the lions
bone likewise. Then he found the
bone of an ass, larger still than that Of
the lion. So he put the lions, con-
tanning the birds skeleton and the
plant, into the ass bone, and thus he
made his way to Naxia. When about
to set the plant, he found that the roots
had entwined themselves around the
birds SKELETON and the lions bone and
the ass's bone; and as he could not
take it out without damaging the
roots, he planted it as it was, and it
came up speedily, and bore to his great
joy, the most delicious wine, from
which he made the first wine and gave
it to men to drink. But behold mir
acle! When men drank it they first
sang like birds; next, after drinking
little more, they became vigorous and
gallant like lions; but when they
drank more still they began to behave
like asses. -H

jubilant. Those having their fields
already seeded have enough rain to

prospect for a prosperous year is ex-

special says to carry into effect the Sps-
Gle Resumption Act passed by ConGresa
last winter. the Secretary Of the Treasury
is authorized to issue any bonds Of the
description and character Of those au-
thorized by the Refunding Act OF 1870.
By this authority limited amount Of 5
per cent. bonds has been issued. Whsth-
er any further issue Of bonds bearing 6
per cent. interest will be made under the
Specie Resumption Act must. Of course,
depend on circumstances. The first sec
ton authorizes ana requests the Secrs-
tary of the Treasury as rapidly A. prac-
ticabls to cause TO be coined at the nints
of the United States silver coins. and to
issue them, etc. The third section au-
thorizes him to sell bonds at par in gold
bearing 5, A.. or per cent. interest ~
he may elect. While placing . loan
bearing 6 per cent. the Secretary could
not, of course. dispose of bonds bearing
q lower rate Of interest under the Specie
Resumption Act. He is bound to obey
the requirements Of that Act. Therefore
he was obliged to issue bonds bearing the
same rate of interest-5 per eent.-as
those being issued when the remaining
SIS, 900, 900 of the per cent. loan had
been subscribed. and the Secretary in
the conversion of 5-20s is confident Of
being able to issue bonds bearing 4 Z, per
cent. In the issue of bonds under this
Act. those issued or which may hereafter
be issued at the rate of per cent. BE-
come redeemable at the option of the
Government after May. 1881; while
bonds that may be issued under the same
Act bearing Az per cent. interest will not
be redsemable till after fifteen years from
date of issue. Five per cent. bonds is
sued from this time forward may be re-
deemed at the pleasure of the Govern
ment after May l. 1881. whereas the L,
per cent. bonds will have fifteen years
from the date of issue, or nearly three
times longer than the per cents to run.
