The Paper Money Currency.

AT present the country has more
currency than can be used, as is shown
by the fact that the banks are full OF
currency for which they find no Gus
toners. In this city there is no less
than million dollars lying idle, to
say nothing Of the funds at the com
mand of the agents of Eastern corpor-
atoms. 1t is reported to us upon good
authority that all the banks in the
| smaller towns have abundant supplies
of currency for which there is no call,
while the savings banks in st. Louis
and Chicago have ceased to solicit de-
posts. These facts show that the
want of the country is not 'more mon
ey," but something to put business in
to motion again. There is an album
dance OF money, such as it is, but the
truth is that one of the evils of q pa
per money system is that the currency
falls naturally and inevitably into the
control OF corporations and capitalists.
Paper is an artificial and not a natural
currency, and it requires the aid of
corporations to issue it and to protect
the issue. And this is true whether
the corporations are state banks or ma
tional banks, or whether the Govern.
ment assumes (as in the Legal Tender
acD the functions of a bank and issues
its own money. A silver dime or a
twenty-dollar gold piece, once minted
and set aAoat, ''travels on its shape"
1t needs no 81 signature, no guarantee,
no basis, no redemption fund and no
"edeemer. Banks can issue paper and
redeem it, can protect it or discredlt
it, but they can have no influence over
specie currency, for that goes among
the people not only without the aid Of
the banks but absolutely beyond their
interference. The amount of a specie
currency cannot be :@egu!a ed" by
any power on earth, for 1t flow, in and
out Of the currency just rs il is needed,
Where a specie currency is ia citcria.
zion there is never any demand fo2
more money" because the supply al
ways equals the demand, and because
the people themselves hold 90 10 sDe-
Gle and keep it cAoat among them-
selves, while the banks and CORPORA
tons do not seek to hold specie, for
there is no speculation in it. The
specie dollar does not use a4d fall il
value as docs the paper do(lf", , 'd
consequently there is nothing 30 oe
made by looking them. up. But il
one view the co'otry needs "moee
money" that is it needs more OF the
money which is iltlex 'Jle in value,
which nobody can regulate, which
circulated wi,icut any guarantee aud
which needs no REDEMPTION. Tbs
country, in short, needs u return to
specie payment, and whel this is a.
rived at there will be no c.y for
more money" We do not doubt
that the Ohio Democrats will be ?ourd

CHINESE CoMEDY.-We are apt to
think Of the Chinese as q grave peo-
pie, all unskilled in the lighter arts OF
satire and caricature; but, according
to that amusing traveller, NJ Hue,
they are the French of Asia, 50 nation
Of cooks, a nation of actors, singular
ly fond of the drama, gifted in pas
quinade, addicted to burlesque, prolific
in comic ideas and satirical turns. NJ.
Hue likens the Chinese empire to an
immense fair, where you find mingled
with the hustle of tri nc al kinds of
shows, mountebanks, actors, Cheap
Jacks, thieves, ga ble:s, all compet-
ing continually ard with vociferous
nproar for the favo: of the crowd.
"There are theatres everywhere; the
great towns are full of them and the
actors play night and day" When
the British officers went ashore in the
retinue of their first grand embassy,
many years ago, they were astonished
to see Punch in all his glory, with
Judy, dog, and devil, just as they had
last seen him en- Ascot Heath, except
that he summoned his audience by
gong and triangle instead of pipes and
drum. The Orient knew Punch ages
before England saw him. In China
they have a Punch conducted by a
single individual, who is enveloped
from head to foot in a gown. He
carries the little theatre on his head,
works the wires with his hands under
the gown, executes the dialogue with
his mouth concealed by the same Gar.
ment, and in the intervals of perform
ance plays on two instruments. He
exhibits the theatre reduced to its
simpleS. form, the work of the com
pany, the band, the manager the treas
urer, scene-shifter, and property-man
all being done by one person.
In the very nature of the Chinese,
whether mau or women, there is Q
large history Of the histronic, ever
those pompous and noisy funerals o
theirs being little more than an exhibi
ton of private theatricals. The whole
company gossip, drink tea, jest, laugh
smoke and have all the air of pleas
ant social party, until the nearest rela
ton of the deceased informs them tha
the time to mourn has come. Instant
ly the conversation ceases, and lamen
tation be-, IS. The company gathe
round the coffin +; affecting speeches
are addressed to the dead groans
sobs, and doleful cries are heard OF
every side; tears, real tears, roll dow
many cheeks--all is woe and desola
ton. But when the signal is givel
to cease mourning, "the performers,
says M. Hue, "do not even stop t.
finish sob Or groan, but they tax,
their pipes, and, 10 there are agail
those Incompatible Chinese laughing
gossiping, and drinking tea. - Jane
Parton, in Harper's Magazine for Au

GOD BLESS THE FABM.

God bless the farm-the dear old farm
God bless its every rood,
Where willing hearts and sturdy arms
Can earn an honest livelihood
Can from the coarse and fertile soil
Win back recompense for toll.
God bless each meadow, field, and nook,
Begemmed with fairest flowers,
And every leaf that's gently shook
BY evening beeze or morning showers
God bless them all each leafs gem
In natures gorgeous diadem.
The orchards that, in early spring,
Blush rich in fragrant flowers,
And with each autumn surely bring
Their wealth of fruits in golden showers
Like pomegranates on Aarons rod,
A miracle from Natures God.
And may He bless the farmers home,
Where peace and plenty reign;
No happier spot meath heavens high dome
Doth this broad, bounteous earth contain,
Than where, secure from care and strife,
The farmer leads his peaceful life.
Unvexed by toll and tricks for gain,
He turns the fertile mould;
Then scatters on the golden grain,
And reaps reward hundred-fold
He dwel,s where grace oad beauty charm,
For God hath blessed his home and farm.

SlrOnOnicter Bank lock.

The chronometer bank lock, which
saved the Barre Bank so many thou
sand dollars is thus described: The
important part of it is a sliding bolt
on the inside of the safe door, which
is SO CONSTRUCTED as on the locking of
the safe door, to be thrown into a
position where it etfectually prevents
the unlocking Of the safe by any one
cashier and all are locked out. But
connected with this bolt is a system OF
clock work which, before the door is
locked, is wound up till it marks the
number of hours it is wished to have
the safe remain locked. AT the ap-
pointed time pin on the dial plate
strikes upon a lever which in turn
moves the Instructions away from be-
hind the sliding bolt first mentioned
and allows the cashier to unlock the
safe. There are in the lock two
clock or watch movements that work
simultaneously but independent eli
Their will withdraw the obstruction
from behind the sliding bolt, so that
the bank officers are not in danger O
being locked out permanently unless
both watch movements should fail al
once, thing not likely to happen in ;
dozen lifetimes.

HOPE.

The plants first shoot was fresh and fair,
We tended it with loving care,
But keen the breath Of April air.
1t chilled the frail newcomer,
We said "The days roll onward fast,
The east-wind's reign will soon be past,
Well fence it from the bitter blast,
Our bud will blow in summer"
But June had half her smile forgot,
And August suns blazed fierce and hot,
And, tired Of their earthly Let,
The soft leaves dropped and faded.
We said, "When heat and glare pass by,
Beneath October's tranquil sky,
The bloom will blossom quietly,
BY Autumn's calm wings shaded"
But ah ! the dead leaves heaped the plain,
And rctted meath the ceaseless rain,
With, like weary soul in pain,
The winds amid it signing.
We heard the winters coming tread,
The low skies darkened overhead,
Glove, Faith and Truth arc vain," we said,
sour treasure lies a-dying."
And slowly, with reluctant feet,
We left the snowdrift's winding sheet,
Where lay the promise, pure and sweet,
To youths gay morning given.
Then, angel-like, Hope whispered low:
"Life fingers meath yon saving snow;
On through the seasons patient 90,
God keeps your flower in Heaven"
-AW the year Round.
