We expect fine language in the Philadelphia
newspapers, but we regard it as bit of extra gilt
when one of them tells us that at International
Rowing Match on the Schuyllill in rs, England and
France propose to contest for the Naiads' Laurel
Crown, in the struggle of aquatic skill upon the
silvery bosom of the river" For the information of
the general public. we would state that the Naiads
were young and beautiful virgins" and that they
are usually represented leaning upon an urn from
which flows stream of water" The proper sacri-
fees 10 offer to them are of wine, honey, oil. milk,
fruit, and flowers. Inhabitants of Philadelphia In
search of further information are referred to
Anthon's Classical Dictionary. lit. NAIADEs. As none
of these ladies have been seen for ages by human
eyes, their temperance upon the Schuylkil in 1876
will form novel and agreeable feature Of the
festivities.

The situation Of the kitchen organs just now sug-
gests the story which NJ. Legouv6 lately related of
the actress Rachel. Her instructor, the accom-
plished Samson, had as stormy nature the great
actress herself and many were the quarrels in which
master and pupil engaged. Rachel carrying her
share of them with great deal of effect. But once
when they were playing Lady TartuGe together, Mr..
Samson bethought himself of an exquisite revenge.
Seated beside Rachel, he heaped the bitterest re-
proaches upon her IN the lowest tones, while the
circumstances of the drama and the presence of the
unconscious audience compelled her to take them
all with the sweetest of smiles and gestures of en-
thusastic acquescence and approval. Her self-con-
troll was great-but that of the Administration

timbers enough in here to supply all the
Comstock mines and have supply left.
Then you can just say that we have the
whole matter fully in hand now,
and nothing serious that l can see is
possible to befall them.n Curry, super
intendent of the OphiT, gives assurance
OF speedy renewal OF work. No dam

NATIONAL BANK USURY.
The Recent Supreme COurt Decision
lis Probable Effect on Ihe Money
Market.

Washington Correspondence October 2jih) OF
14e New YORK. Herald
An important decision, and one hav-
ing a direct bearing on the money mar
ket, was rendered to-day by the United
states supreme count, Judge Swayne
reading tie opinion, in the case OF the
Farmers aud Mechanics national bank,
Of Buffalo, against DseTiDg. The case
came up here on the appeal of the
plaintiffs from the decision of the su-
prenle court Of New York State, which
nOn-suited them in an endeayOr TO re-
cover the principal Of note which
they had discounted at usurious rate
OF interest for the defendant. The total
amount % the usury was only few dol
Iars, which sum was paid in excess of
the legal discount OF seven per cent.
Under the civil code OF New York, both
principal and intsrest in a usuriCu3
transact Oh are lOffeitable, and the
u-urious lender is also punishable
under the criminal code for misdemean-
or. But the penalty Tor usury prescribed
iu the national bank set is altogether
different, and much Iess seveTe-that is
there j. 10 forfeiture Of principal at all;
but the bono Wer, who has paid more
than the legal rate, may reuse to psy
the interest VIXEN IL lalls due, and, in
case the usuriCus interest mss been taken
ID in advance, may recover in an &C.
liOu for debt twice the amount of inter
est go charged aud deducted. This va
nance between the national aud State |
laws has teen a mCOued subject for q
long time ia financial ciicies, the ma
tional banks believing that the former
law OverrOis the latter, at least in tran!s
actions in which they were concerned, |
and tia they might practice usury /
without greater penalty than that Of the |
interest STIPULATED for IN the usuriOus i
transaction The decision ID day is in |
their favor on this point, the United |
States supreme court holding that they /
are aBeLsOle 10 the laws Of the /
United States, and sre not subj ct to the |

Element o This ques ton is going to have
an important effect upon the money
market snd in the case OF New York
city and Wall street will hush up the
cry Tor the repeal Of the usury laws, for
tie TeasOn that in times OF monetary
the natiOnsl banks will take
the risk q lending money ct higher
rztas than seven per cent. through trust
worthy and honorable banking-houses,
and thus defeat al speculative machine
tons suG combinations for tie locking
zap Of money. As long IS the principal
Of such loans was in jeopardy the nation
al banks were sfrRid to interfere. Bnt
now that they can at moot lose only the
interest, and lhen in very rare instances,
