About Currency.

A correspondent OF the Chicago
Tribune relates the following currency
story about some Cincinnati bankers |:
My memory is stored with many funny
things as to runs on banks, illustrating
my subject from actual observation. Let
me give few: We all remember the
story of the Frenchman, which has be-
come historical. witnessed it at New
Orleans in May, 1887. Seeing quite a
run going on, ne drew check for his
balance in the old State Bank, owned
chiefly by his countrymen, and in great
exclLement demanded gold from the
Teller, who, proceeding TO count it out,
was stopped by, s'AhI you got him
Well, now, don't want him. But II
you no got him, 1 want him very
muchl" Here was q sudden loss and
restoration OF confidence on wnat was
apparently a good basis; and yet the
bank did fail that same dayl
In 1850, Ellis & Morton, large private
bankers at Cincinnati, got suddenly
into bad oder, and a heavy run COM
menced early in the morning by their
depositors. The knowing ones ON Third
street could not afford to let them GO
down, if it could be avoided; so clique
was promptly got together, with sod
Smead," the the big savings-bank man,
at its head. A few thousand dollars
was distributed to several discreet
brokers, who, mixing with the crowd.
picked up all the small checks, requiring

Smeadn himself every haif-hour walked
through the crowd with a busnel-bas ket
of bank-bills, throwing them ON the
counter, and declaring, In his peculiar,
loud voice, that he had half a-million
more to spare II it was wanted! In tnree
hours the crowd dispersed, and in a
week their entire deposits returned !;
and yet the brokers and -Smead's bas-
kets, all told, did not handle or contain

NEwPORT.-The small basin at the
Water-works is now declared solid and
prepared to stand the test of the winter
cold.
MIR. j. Michael, for one score and five
years the bass drummer in the Garrison
band, resigned his position yesterday,
as his interests in this city are too great
to allow his absence at the new post in
Columbus.
The residence of the blind man, SulH-
van, was entered by burglars a few
nights ago and robbed of about 500 in
cash, that had been saved up from the
old mans hard earnings.
In the County Court, yesterday, the
bastardy case of Mary flanagan against
Mike PURGE, the defendant was required
to give security for the payment oil one
hundred dollars annually for ten years
TO the support OF the child.
The day having at last arrived, the
troops at the Barracks took their depart
ure for their new quarters at Columbus
to-day. Col. Jones, for many years
q member of the Board of City Council,
and Post Sutler at this point. also leaves
in few days.
Henry Schneider, who unsuccessfully
attempted TO shake off ''Shis mortal
col, !" is now in fair way for recovery.
The ball has not yet been found, but 1t
is thought that he can live with SO small
an amount of lead in his body. We know
of young man in Coyington who, few
months ago, received bullet through
his skull, and the ball has never been
extracted, but to-day he is just as good
a man as he ever was.

The road is to be built in the style OF

after the style of those in Paris, with
iron pillars and frame work, and the

"I'Il Call Around and Pay.o

What a world of woe is contained
in these few words to the poor artisan
and mechanic "I'll call around and
pay" says the rich man, to avoid the
trouble of.going to his desk or safe to
get the necessary funds, and the poor
mechanic is obliged to go home to dis
appoint his workmen and all who de-
pend upon him for their due. 1t is an
easy matter to work; the only real
glory in this life is an independent idea
of being able to sustain yourself by the
labor of your hands, and it may be
easily imagined what crushing force
there is in I'll call around and pay"
to the laboring man, who depends upon
that pay for subsistence. If those who
could pay would only pay at once, it
would place hundreds and thousands
in a condition to pay likewise, and
would prevent much misery and dis
tress.

Ii is asserted as a fact that every
canvasser who has turned his attention
to the introduction of the New Family
Sewing Machine in his locality, or who
has been fortunate enough to securean
agency, has outstripped the best efforts
in making money of the old tried
Agents of the high-priced machines,
which latter they now replace. The
demand is enormous, and sales SO ra-
pid and money made so readily with so
little effort that Farmers, Tradesmen,
Spectators, &C., are focking into the
business as fast as they can secure ter
rit0ry and get their goods on the
ground to supply nxiouscustomers. 1t
it marvellous how their machines sell
when exhibited, it being a recognized
fact that,people will buy the best at the
lowest price. 1t certainly is the Ma
chine of the times and does the same
work. as other machines at $4,000 or
$4,000, and we really believe it would
sell Just as readily at double and then
not cost half the usual price of so good
an article, for it is astonishing to see
the vast amount Of labor it performs at
so low a cost. The inventors are daily
inundated with testimonials of the
worth of their new Machines which so
suddenly and successfully bounded in
to popular favor. II proves to be just
what is wanted every day, by every one,
everywhere, who have family. 1t has
attained an enviable reputation in
many thousands ofhomes and factories,
for its solid strength, power, rapidity,
simplicity, certainty and ease of opera
ton, with extreme beauty. fineness and
reliability of its sewing; while the
wonderful low price (Twenty dollars
for Large and complete Sewing Ma
chine with strong table and treadle,)
places all idea of competition out of the
question. 1t stands alone in its merits
and price. We advise you to invest in
one at once for your Wife. Daughter
Mother, Sister or Lady Friend and
make a home happy, or put them In
your factory, or what is better If you
are lucky enough, secure an agency, II
there is none in your town, and make
money yourself. The many new at
taohments for doing extra fine, skilful
and difficult work, are surprise in
their simplicity of construction and faI
below even grange prices, and will
be delivered safe at your door, no mat
ter how remote you may reside, If you

The Great Mystery.

The body is to die: 50 much is GER
tain. What lies beyond? No onewhO
passes the charmed boundary comes
back to tell. The Imagination visits
the realms Of shadows-sent out from
some window of the soul over life's
restless waters, but wings its way weari-
ly back with an olive leaf in its beak
as token of emerging life beyond the
closely bending horizon. The great
sun comes and goes in heaven, yet
breathes no secret of the ethereal will
derness. The crescent moon cleaves
her nightly passage across the upper
deep, but losses overheard no message
and displays no signals. The sentinel
stars challenge each other as they
walk their nightly rounds, but we catch
no syllable of their countersign which
gives passage to the heavenly camp.
Shut in Shut in Between this and
the other life there is great guilt
fixed, across which neither eye no foot
can travel. The gentle friend whose
eyes we closed in their last sleep long
years ago, died with rapture in her
wonder stricken eyes, a smile of inef-
fable joy upon her lips, and hands
folded over a triumphant heart; but
her lips were past speech, and intimat-
ed nothing Of the vision that en-
thralled her.

A CHILD's CIvILITY.-When the
Emperor of Germany was lately on a
visit in a distant portion of his dOmin-
ions, he was welcomed by the school
children of the parish. After theil
speaker had made a speech for them
he thanked them. Then, taking an
orange from a plate, he asked:
"Towhat kingdom does this belong?'
$50 the vegetable kingdom, sire, u
replied little girl.
The Emperor took a gold coin from
his pocket, and, holding it up, asked:
And to what kingdom does this be-
long,"
piled the little girl
And to what kingdom, do [ belong,
then ?" asked the Emperor.
The little girl colored deeply, for she
did not like to say "the animal king
DOM" as he thought she would. lest
his Majesty should be offended, when a
bright thought came, and she said,
with radiant eyes:
$40 Gods Kingdom, sire"
The Emperor was deeply moved. A
tear stood in his eye He placed his
hands on the child's head and said
most devoutly:
Grant that [ may be accounted
worthy of that kingdom"
