NOSE HAWKS CURRENCY.


In speaking Of the currency
inAatson," the Michigan "True
Northerner" tells a good story on
Nose Hawks, editor Of the Allegau
(Mich.) Journal" in war-rebel-
lion times. Nose was o queer old
chip, and loved his bitters in the
morning and all other times of the
day; and by that same token. it got
him into no end of ridiculous
scrapes, both editorially and per-
sonally, as the writer (who lived in
Allegan at the time of Moses cur
rency issue) very we'll knows. In
conjunction with the newspaper
business, Nose used to run a
single shanty." The newspaper
was run during flush times, and
old Nose shaved shingles the rest
of the year. This is the story:
Hawks was a great man in his
burg, and as currency was scarce In
shat community, because no one
had anything to purchase it with, q
bright idea struck him. He went
into the office one morning and
printed large batch of promises to
pay-quarters, halves and dollars
and occupied several days in affix-
ing the autograph of Moses Hawks
to every one of them. Hawks, that
is, Moses. was now wealthy man
and possessed of unlimited re-
sources. He bought everything of
fered for sale, and paid his new cur
rency, and also loaned 1t to his
neighbors. The thing worked like a
charm until tax time, when some
thing better was required. Every
body had sold their struck" and
taken Hawks currency in payment.
The people fiocked to Hawks and
demanded redemption. He redeem
ed by issuing new batch of scrip
and more of it. Prior to this the
scrip had passed currently among
the people, but the new issue had
so inflated the currency" that the
people refused to receive il longer,
it having become SO plentiful as to
be worthless. Merchants and deal
ers had so their goods for the
stuff, but could not buy more with
it. Hawks was bankrupt and could
not redeem, and the people were in
u bad plight.
One morning stranger presented
himself &c Hawks and demanded
that he should redeem some that he
uhe strangely had received at Saga
luck, where he had been to look
after some business matters. Hawks
declined the accommodation. The
stranger then asked: "This is
good, is it not, Mr.. Hawks :"
"Good thunder! replied Hawks,
cit ought to be, for every man,
woman and child within fifty miles
of this place has from peck to q
half bushel of it,"
But, Mr.. Hawks, you redeem,
don't YOU"
"Redeem hell" exclaimed Hawks;
"it wasn't made to redeem; it was
made to circulated"

EULOGISTIC.

Hon. Tom Fitch, in the late meet.
ing called by the friends Of w. G.
Ralston in San Francisco, paid the
following eloquent tribute to the de-
parted: 1t is worthy of the brightest
orator on the Pacific Coast:
His eulogy? What parts of human
speech can eulogise him who is
gone? What brush of artist, what
pen of dramatist, what voice Of
speaker can depict the benefaction of
his generous life and the tragedy OF
his heroic death? His deeds may be
heard in the tones that sound like
the blare OF trumpets. His monu-
ments rise on every rod of ground
in this city. His eulogy is written
in ten thousand hearts. Commerce
commentaries his deeds with her
whitening sails and her laden
wharves. Philanthrophy sings the
chimes OF all public charities in at
testation of his munlficence. Patri-
etisni sings poems for him who, in
the hour of the nations struggle,
sent the ringing gold of mercy to
chime with the flashing steel of
valor. [Applause.l Unnumbered
deeds of private generosity attest his
secret munificence. Sorrow has
found solace in his deeds. Despair
has been lifted into hope by his
voice. There are churches whose
heaven kissing spires chronicle his
donations; schools claim him as
their patrons; hospitals own him as
their benefact0r. He was the sup
porter of art; science leaned on him
while her vision swept infinity. The
footsteps Of progress have been san
daled with his silver. He has up
held invention while she wrestled
with the forces of nature. He was
the likelihood Of enterprise; he was
the vigor of all progress; he was the
epitome and representative of all
that was broadening and expansive
and uplifting in the life Of Cali
fornia.

Tho San Francisco Bulletin Of
Thursday has very temperate edi-
torial upon the financial situation.
1t councils q putting aside Of news
paper recriminations between itself
and city contemporaries, and q gener-
al effort to resuscitate financial af-
fairs. Altogether it expresses q
hopeful view of the situation. This
IL all very we'll now, for that astute
Journal, but it strikes us that with
the record its recent course toward
the Bank officials made for itself,
the suggestions SAVIOR Of having been
forced upon it by the unfiinching
confidence Of the people, in the hon
esty of Ralston and the merited re-
buke it has received for assailing
man In his grave.
