The "NeW Issue"

From the Knoxville Press
and Messenger. Chancellor
Marks, sitting in place of Cham
cellor Cooper, delivered a very
important opinion at Nashville,
last Thursday, in regard to the
"New Issues" of the Bank of
Tennessee. 1t will be remem-
beredithat the Supreme Court,
when deciding that the assets
Of the Bank were liable for the
redemption of these notes, no
opinion was expressed as to the
statute Of limitations operating
as. a bar against such bills as
had not been presented for re-
demption. This question was
presented by the pleadngs in
the case before Chancellor
marks. lie held that the stat
ute of limitations does not Ope-
rate as a bar, whether the bills
have heretofore been presented
for redemption or not, and
therefore sustained the demurrer
to the plea. The opinion, which
is very abIyprepared, is given in
full by the Ame31cdl. f...t

sixth Of the whole number used
or equal to the amount required
lby 5000 other offices. Fou
times year the different post
offices send an order for the
number of stamps they expect
to have occasion to use for the
next coming three months. Of
course, if they run out during
that time, they are at liberty to
send for more.
The office here in New York
is supplied differently. Twice
a month an order is sent for
100000 of various denomina-
tions. Three cent stamps are,
of course, in much greater de-
mand than those of any other
value. In answer to the orders
the stamps are made and sent to
the offices and there counted in
the presence of a witness. An
accompanying bank receipt is
filled up and sent to the Third
Assistant Postmaster at Wash
lngton, who has charge of this
branch of the post-ofice depart.
ment. The pay Of the majority
of postmasters is not by any
means extravagant. The hold
er of that position in Guthrie,
Ind, gets 81 per annum, and
there are many others who get
the same. Others get 1888, $4,
So, and so on up to $4,000. 4
Although a salary of a few
dollars is not in itself of impor-
tance, the holder of such an of
flee generally is. For instance,
in a village the postmaster is al
most always the owner of the
grocery store, and the villagers
while waiting for their mail find |
it to their advantage to lay in a
stock OF provisions; so the post
office draws custom. Besides,
the postmaster is usually consid-
cred a man Of much importance
in a small town. Iknow a store
keeper who is postmaster of
small village in the southern
part of New Jersey, and who
gets only $12 a year for that
position; yet, he wouldn't resign
for three times that amount
every year. -.
1t is only postmasters oflarge
cities who receive as much as
81, 900. Mr.. j. L. James. the
postmaster of this city. gets
salary of $4,000, the largest Civ
IN, but really small considering
he large amount of responsible
ty and work which it involves.

How to Treat Them.

ihu 5tratas z the combination
of brilliancy and dlscOurtesy
which are so characteristic of a
certain kindof "swelI." Being
at Bath during a season of unu-
sual dullness for that fashiona-
bic watering place, Selwyn be-
came quite intimate with an old
gentleman who was rather out
side the pale of that select So
ciety to which the wit belonged.
Meeting Selwyn in London, in
the height Of the season, the
old gentleman was desirous to
renew the acquaintance formed
at Bath, but the man Of the
world persistently ignored him.
At last the old gentleman came
up to his quondam intimate, and
said: "Why, Mr.. Selwyn, don't
you remember me; / was with
you at Bath. last year?" "Oh,
yes" said Selwyn: 81 remember
you perfectly, and when 1 go to

Commerce In Hogs.

The independence of our States
and the service which each renders
to the ether find most homely illustra-
tion in subject not fitted for poetic
treatment, nor likely to appeal to the
imagination--commerce in hogs.
The great prairies of the West
grow corn in such abundance that
even now, with all our means of in
accommodation, it can not all be
used as food, and some of it is con
sumed as fuel.
1t often happens that the farmer
upon new land, remote from railroads,
can get only from fifteen to twenty
cents per bushel for Indian corn, at
which price, while it is the best, it is
also the cheapest fuel that he can
have. and its use in an evidence OF
good economy, not Of waste. Upon
the fat prairie lands of the West the
hog is wholesomeiy fed only upon
corn in the milk or corn in the ear;
thence he is carried to the colder eli

use of that one crop in which New
England excels all others--ice the
meat can be packed at all seasons OF
the year; there it is prepared to serve
as food for the workman of the North,
the freedman of the South, or the ar
tisan of Europe; while the blood, dried
in few hours to fine powder, and
sent to the cotton fields of South Car
olina and Georgia to be mixed with
the phosphate rocks that underlle
their coast lands, serves to produce
the cotton fibre which furnishes the
cheapest and fttest clothing for the
larger portion of the Inhabitants of
the world.
Here, then, is commerce, or men

all developed within the century, and
undreamed of by our ancestors. The
vast plains Of the West, enriched by
countless myriads of buffalo,can spare
for years to come a portion of theil
productive force. Commerce sets il
motion her thousands wheels, food is
borne to those who need it most, and
they are spared the effort to obtain il
on the more sterile soil of the cold
North. Commerce turns that very
cold to use. The refuse is saved and
commerce has discovered that its use

worth identifying as the farmers, not
the planters crop, made by his own
labor aud picked by his wife and chill
dren, to whom only few short years
since such labor was ignoble, and be-
cause well saved worth higher
price.
Had the custom-h house officer stood
upon the Hudson river and said to
the farmer of Illinois, "Your corn and
meat must not come here, lest by your
cheap labor YOU ruin our farmers" as
the custom-house officer of the United
States now says to the farmer and
miner of Canada, when they try to
send food and fuel to New England
had the ax-gatherer watched at the
bar of the lahots of Charleston aud
Savannah to make the obstruction
greater, lest the meat packed in New
England should affect the price Of the
poor freedman's pigs, and lest the fer
tilizers made in Boston and Philadel-
phia should stop the phosphate works
of those cities, as the custom-house
officer Of the Ipited States now at
tempts to stop the refuse salt of for
eign production, even when only nee.

Of Canada--this commerce could not
have existed, the men Of the West
could not have rendered service to
New England, nor they to their South
ern brethren, nor they again to the
people Of all lands and all climes.
The century has witnessed the cs-
tablishment Of the culture and ex-
change Of cotton, the extension of civ
ilization over the prairies Of the West,
and the infinite and complex move
ments which we feebly try 10 grasp
throughout all their ramifications,
whereby the hungry are fed, the nak-
ed clothed, and the soil that has been

Breathless the sunny meadows lie
In heat of early afternoon;
Clouds faint upon the shapeless skv
Where sleeps a ghostly moon.
The farm-boy turns his masters hay
To ripen after summer rain,
While gay cries steal across the bay.
And echo wide again.
He hears the voices of his mates
Gamboling in the fresh sea-wave,
Aud pauses while his heart relates
The joy his freedom gave.
Where is my play time gone? he said,
And turned him idly to his task,
Where are my moon-lit moments fled.
