THE NEW VOLUME Of THE LIVING

The number OF Littclrs Ljriug IA,
bearing date January ID, begins new
volume-the one hundred and twenty
fourth.
With the increased circulation and en-
larged facilities resulting from the recent
absorption of Erery Saturday by The
Liring Age, the latter enters upon the
new year with fresh vigor and unusually
bright prospects: and its publishers will
doubtless make il in future even more
valuable than ever before TO its numcr-
Gus readers. The indispensable produc-
tons of the foremost writers of Europe,
and especially of Great Britain, in fiction,
science, politics, art, biography, theology
and general literature, are given in The
Licing Age, with completeness and
cheapness-considering the amount Of
reading furnishcd-elscwhere uncquallcd;
in fact they are otherwise hardly acccsSi-
BILE, in their entirety. TO American
readers.
The next weekly number will contain,
among other valuable articles. an impor-
tant one on the Hypothesis that Animals
are Automata, and it, History. by Prof.
Huxley.
The present number being the frs, one
of the new year and new volume, is an
excellent one with which TO begin new
subscriptions. With iify-two numbers,
Of sixty-four large pages each, (aggrega-
ting over 5000 pages a year the subscrip-

Although the national finances are So
extensively discussed in the newspaper,
and IN Congress, so many material facts
necessary To proper understanding OF
the financial situation are unfamiliar to
the general reader that the following
points, condensed from voluminous tables
for ready reference, are both Interesting
and instructive:

session. relating 10 the national banking
system. went into effect in June, and pro-
vidcs that the amount of outstanding
United States notes shall be S}S2. GOO. 600.
which amount shall appear in the
monthly statement of the public debt.
No part Of it is to be used as a revenue.
Provision Is made for the REDEMPTION of
all national bank notes al the Treasury in
legal tender notes, for which purpose the
banks axe required 10 keep on deposit with
the treasury five per cent. of the circula-
ton. Since the act of February. IsG3,
