FUNDING THE GREENBACKs.

There is general expression OF opinion by
authorities entitled to respect that the true soin
tion of the financial problem is to fund hegree1-
backs. The Chicago Tribune makes these pro
positions
1. That the holders of greenbacks, upon pre-
sentation of them to the Treasury department,
be- entitled to receive in exchange therefor or
365 per cent. gold bonds, Of the denomination
Of $50 or $100, OF any multiple OF SlO0.
O. That these bonds, having thirty years 10 run
from the date OF issue, be made legal tenders in
the payment of all debts and contracts made be-
fore, say 4th Of July 1876.
8. That the legal tender for all contracts made 9
after that date shall be coin of the United
States, except when payment otherwise may Do
expressly stipulated.
The Boston Advertiser approves the first and
leading proposition, but insists that the bonds
should run fifty years, and says that this would
make them at par in gold, the best public seeur-
,ty in the world for Observation-Disclosures than
English consols At 80, even in England.
The funding proposition. the New York
Times says, is already supported by some OF
the best and clearest- headed members OF Con
gress. 1t is also approved by number OF
Journals of influence in all parts of the country
And, what is specially in its favor, it is the mos
natural way Of dealing with the question. Fol
after all, 30 far as the Government is directl.
concerned with these notes, it has but one dut.
to perform with reference to them. and that il
to pay them, or to provide for their ultimate
and certain payment. The notes constitute
part of the national debt, and nothing which
Congress- has done or can do with reference t.
them can deprive them of that character.
1t is very encouraging to find that there is
tendency among sensible people in differen
sections to unite on some precise measure
Whether anything can or will be done at thi
session Of Congress, in the direction of funding
or any other solution of the problem, remains t
be seen, but it is gratifying step forward whe
some degree of harmony in opinion is attaine
amongst those who are discussing the financi'
question.

suicide of a Young Girl.

A young girl fifteen years of age, daughter OF
William Ogg. laborer living near Venice, But
Ter county, Ohio, drowned herself in the Miami
river on Saturday last. Various causes are as
signed, among which was an effort on the part
Of her parents to compel her to marry an elderly
man whom she disliked, but the most direct IN
fiuence appears to have been little quarrel be-
tween herself and mother. She had been scrub
bing the floor of their house. and corrected by a
slap smaller child which soiled the floor she
was cleaning, and her mother reproved her, and
slapped her in return. Declaring she would
drown herself, she rose, packed her clothing. up
in bundle, and started down to the river, her
elder sister accompanying and attempting to
pacify and dissuade her from her purpose, but
without avail. On reaching the river, she first
threw her bundle of clothing in, and then
plunged in herself, almost drowning her sister
who was trying to pull her back. She sank il
about seven feet OF water. Her body was re-
covered near the same spot a few hours after
ward by means of seine.

An Ancient Aris1ocrat.

Sir Simeon Stuart, Baronet, the creation of
whose title dates back more than 200 Year,, is

debts are large, and owing chiefly to inn-keepers
jewellers, tailors, and other tradesmen, great
portion being, as he admitted, for ''presents to
females not members of his own family AS

tory of everything that eau be found. and this
is the list "a railway rug much worn set of

YIN. u Astor,s Wealth.

The New York Sun says that opinions vary as
to the amount of property left behind him by the
late William ,. Astor. The prevalent one is that
1t reaches $100,000,000, and some extravagant
takers have put it ut s200,000000 Persons well
informed, however, and upon whose judgment
we place reliance, assure us that it does not ex-
ceed $4,000, 900, of which S30,000000 is in real
estate and 80, 100000 in personally Even this
is an immense sum for one man to hold and we
doubt if the possessions of any other in the
country, except perhaps, Cornelius Vanderbilt,
equal it.

The Canary Hird.

The importation of this favorite - feathered
songster" bids fair to be larger this sesson than
ever, and Thousands and tens Of thousands are
now on their way over the ocean. and thousands
more are impatientiy hopping about In their FAR
away homes among the Harz Mountains, and
other parts OF Germany and Belgium, waiting to
be emfgrated. From August to April, which in
cludes " the season." as many as fifteen thou-
sand month, on an average, are brought to New
York in the German steamers. Probably over
two thousand of these come to Boston, one deal
or alone disposng Of some six hundred week.
Nearly all the canaries brought to this country
are from Germany, and almost every steamer
from Europe brings a lot.
Great care has to be taken in the transport OF
canaries or the loss may be such as to take of
the profit of the speculation. To begin at the
at the beginning. the birds are raised by various
parties all over the hhlneland region. Ihey are
gathered up by travelling agents who go about
with hundred or two empty cages over their
shoulders which they " Bird" il we may com a
word, from house to house. When the cages
are all occupied, the lot is taken to the nearest
railroad station and sent to the ports of ship
ment.
When sufficient number OF BIRDS Is colec-

ranged all round and well secured. Two men
