Sheep in a China-Shop.
From the Troy [N. y Times.

7
While F. P. Allen sat in the
counting-room Of Starkweather,
Allen & Bakers big crockery es-
tablishment last evening, read
ing the Times, he was startled
by low cry at the door, a sort
Of cross between the notes of
a bag-pipe and a fish-peddler's
.cornet. Jumping to his feet, he
was amazedto see a flock of
sheep rush pell-mell into the
store, dashing past the costly
China jars, delicate Parian va
ses and costly relics OF the Ger
amic age. The flock had been
carelessly driven by the store,
and ran into the place at ran
dom. Mr.. Allen and the clerks
strove to stay the incoming
stream, but the more they cried
"shoo," "shoo," the wilder the
sheep became, and it looked
very much as if the leader might
fancy to jump suddenly upon
the rich cases Of costly goods,
and with his followers pIow a
deep furrow Of destruction in
the beautiful establishment
Finally, by dint of coaxing and
careful leading, the sheep were
driven toward the door, and
with a tremendous and all-pow-
erful "shoo there" from the u
nited lungs of Mr.. Allen and all
the employees, the invading host
made a grand rush for the street,
and the mutinous mutton was
non est. The owner called this
and settled the dam
age, and the clerks look little
ohecpish to-day.

The ROSebud'S Moral.
A rosebud in the garden lay,
Hiding all its sweetness from the dav:
Its crimson leaves were olded fast,
Though sunbeams softly Ger it cast
Their golden glory, and the breeze
Sang of a thousand sights that please;
But ripping rain at length apart
Drew the green vestures from his heart
And left it smiling in the sun,
To life and love and beauty won.
Trembled the trees, the wind waxed high
Swepta fierce storm across the sky,
The lightning like sword blade cleaned
From the dark cloud torrent streamed
And soon the radiant leaves empearled
Were scattered DER the weeping world.
True love is like a silver shower
That fills with light the summer hour!
But passion like tempest sweeps
All lOveliness 10 darksome deeps.
Bright heart of boyhood, ponder long
The meaning Of this simple songl

The Mosaic law has not been
thrown aside for the New Testa-
ment in the county of Stanley,
North Caroline. In the twenty
first chapter OF Exodus this pas
sage occurs:
"If an OK gore a man or wo,
man, that they die; then the OK
shall be surely stoned, and his
flesh shall not be eaten, but the
owner of the OK shall be quit"
Now, a certain ran in Stanley
county having use for an OK, bor-
rowed one, but tie beast proved
obstreperous and gored the poor
fellow to death. The friends of
the man, eXasperated at the con-
duct of the brute, went TO its own,
er and demanded that it be given
up to thetAto be stoned in accord
ance with the law Of Moses. The
idea that the owner should be
stoned for training his beast so
badl1; 'or that the man who had
been gored might net have pro-
ceeded cautiously; or that a man
ought not to borrow an OK at all,
did not once occur to them. The
owner Of the animal, as might lie
supposed, plumply declined to sur
render il. Thereupon crowd oi
men, women and children assem-
bled, and marching to the stable
where the offending creature was
manching his fodder aud mental
ly congratulating itself on its sue
c3ss in ridding itself of u hard job,
for which it would have got little
but curses aud blows, they hustled
it out, drove it to suitable spot,
and there stoned it to death, after
which they cut its flesh to pieces
and cast it away, thus literally
fulfilling the Mosaic requirement.
As the owner of the OK has deter
mined that the destroyers of his
property shall be punished, the
law of Moses and law of North
Carolina are to Re brought togeth-
er in a profane court, and nice
little question of church and State
will be argued by the attorneys
employed. The Wilmington Star
says that General Gargan, of Wades-
boro, has been retained to prose-
cute the mob.

How it Feels to beHanged

a Paris newspaper gives this
extract from the notes of q
young fellow who tried to COM
nit suicide and was cut down
before suffocation was complete.
He was delighted to return to

rarely renew their attempts to
shuttle off this mortal coil:

my lower eXtremities, and at

veins. Then | felt nothing. -

The National BANKS.
(New York Mercantile JonrnaI1

Notwithstanding the public well
know the fact, we repeat again
here that while we hold that the
present National Bank notes
make better circulating medium
by far than the issues of the old
State Banss, we do not favor
their continuance, as they are not
entirely satisfactory currency.
The greenback is very much
better-although it is as yet only
partial Observation-Disclosures
as it has all the virtues of bank
note, and saves to the people in
terest TO the amount of about
twenty million dollars annually,
which would otherwise be added
to like amount now unwisely
paid to the banks on bonds pledg.
ed for the security of National
Bank notes used by the people,
and which are about equal in vol.
ume to the greenbacks.
We oppose the issue ofcurrency
by banks for the reason that no
benefit can possibly accrue to the
people therefrom to balance the
cost by way of interest paid by
the people on the bonds pledged
for its security. This bank cir
culation ought to he replaced by
National paper money tokens,
thus saving the interest on these
bonds held as security for the pay
ment of bank.n0;e currency.

The two people who must new

Starting a National Bank.

| There have been so many the.
ories in the minds of the gener.
! al public about the noduS Ope-
randi Of starting national bank
in the United States. that the
following illustration Of how it
is done will be interesting.
The writer tells his own story
as follows:
| will close this communica-
ton by giving you an interview
had with an eX-natiOnal bank
president not long since. In
the year 1867 he proceeded, my
self and nine others, all living
in the fourishing city of G.,
conceived the idea of organiz-
ing a national bank. We ten
met, and each paid $1,000,
aggregating $4,000. We then
gave our notes to the bank for
S8,OOOmore; thus giyingus $20,-
600 cash and a paper capital of
$4,000 more. Electing our Of
ficers, we appointed our presi-
dent and cashier, a committee
to go East and buy 100000
worth of bonds upon thirty
days time, at slight advance,
paying him $4,000 and getting
short time on the balance.
We then took our bonds, went
to Washington thenex day land
drew from the treasury our $780,
900 national bank notes, to which
we were eRtitled, paid Jay Cooke
q Co. the amount we owed
them, $4,000, returned home,
and were engaged in banking
in a week upon an ostensible
capital of 100000, really but
$4,000, and with but $4,000
each invested. Our deposits
increased rapidly, and for three
years they averaged over $780,
600 a year. We figured our
profits about this way: Upon
our bonds six and a half per
cent. in gold, payable semi-&n-
nually, equal to nine per cent;
loans upon our deposits, twelve
per cent. on 100000 or forty
eight per cent. on 100000, ay-
eraging fitty-seyen per cent. on
our original investment of$10J,-
0G3, or a much greater per cent.
when taken into consideration
our investment OF but $4,000
each. Then we were exempt
by law from paying municipal,
special, and various other local
taxes. Very few dcpositors al
loved their money 10 remain
long enough to draw interest
six months. Our expenses were
small, and ournotCs given when
the bank was started were soon
called in and burned.
