Treasury. And yet, of this large
amount, only %,65S 5S have been pre-
scented for redemption since the first Of
May last. During the month of July only
SO "a OF this series appeared for redemp-
ton. or the second series only 81 Is ap-
peared for redemption during the month
of July, and only $s4S 9S for the three
months past, while $3,1l70T6 are still
outstanding. OF the third series only
50, ,043 92 was presented during the three
months, and $3,06t, 49, are outstanding.
or the fourth series there came In for
redemption during the three months
81 339 ,3545s, leaving 81, 1856 ,0S9, still out
standing. OF the fifth series the sum of
S6 GOA, 259 was presented for redemption
with balance outstanding OF $15, ,2SS, $3.50.
The curiosity exhibited by these fig
ures is why 50 small sum of the earlier
issues, and such large sums of the later
issues are presented for redemption. 1t
can not be presumed that the holders of
The earlier issues have any preference
for them over the later, seeing that their
character as currency is altogether the
same. They would not, therefore, be
held back, for any conceivable reason.
The first series was issued in 1868, the
secund in 1864 and '65, and the third from
1865 to $50. Now, the conundrum is
what becomes Of the fractional eurrencyY
The only answer is, that these older is
sues have been lost and destroyed, used
up by handling, to such an extent that
probably but little more Of those issues
will ever appear for redemption. On
this basis it has been estimated that not
less than $40, 100000 of these three issues
have been utterly lost and destroyed,
and consequently will never be presen
ed for payment. And OF the later issu es
such aproportion will be anu. have been
lost as to swell the aggregate amount Of
loss ON 9ll the series to $15, 000,000.
OF course this relieves the public
Treasury to that very considerable ex.
tent; but after it is just that much
lost by the people. 1t is unfelt simply
because of the universal distribution o
the loss among all s9rts' and conditions
of the people throughout the entire ma
ton. All money used as currency il
unnecessarily liable to waste and loss
even though 1t be coin. But none is 81
particularly liable to such accidents a.

structible in q dozen different ways

The County Offices,

The STAR, as is we'll known, takes no
part in the party contests for office. II
good man is found on either ticket we
commend him; if an unsuitable man, we
condemn him. 1t is away we have; and
1t suits US.
AS yet neither ticket has been formed.
The Republicans will put theirs in the
field tomorrow, and the Democrats will
follow soon thereafter. Standing thus
independently on neutral ground as to
purity nominations, we feel authorized
to tender q bit of advice to both parties
as to the County officers. In that
matter we have an interest the same as
belongs in common to all citizens desir-
Gus OF q faithful administration of our
local affairs. Our aim therefore is to
secure the best men for the county Of
ices irrespective of party distinctions.
We would therefore respectfully intI-
mate to both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis that their best policy is to nomi.
nate their best men. For they must
remember that Hamilton County has
among its voters some four or five
thousand who have no scruples
of onscience against scratching
Of the names Of Incompetent or
unsuitable men, even though
the nominees Of their own party. Hence,
if either party would avoid the scratch
ers," let them nominate unexCeptionable
men for counby officers. In such nomi-
nations it makes no manner of difference
whether the nominees are for soft money
OF hard money; for resumption in three
years, or two years, or five years: for
high tariff or low tariff, OF no tariff.
What we want is that good men,
men competent and suitable, for
the discharge Of the duties Of the coun-
ty offices; men watchful of our county's
interests and capable of taking care Of
the same. Therefore, If the two parties
would escape the infiction known as
"the scratches" let them be sure to pre-
sent no names desevingof such rebuke.
Then, no matter which party may sue
ceed, we shall make sure Of good men
Tor our county officers.

"Accidents will happen" and one of a

English Sparrows.
From the st. Joseph Gazette. !


Col. John Pinger has received from
Brooklyn two pairs of English sparrows,
which he proposes to turn loose in his
door-yard, and there to Ietthem increase
and multiply until the city is tull OF
sparrows. This little bird, scarcely
larger than an ordinary ground bird, and
resembling it somewhat in appearance,
is the worst foe to insects and Vermin
that they have to contend with. 1t is
protected by law in England, and is con-
sidered the best friend the farmer has.
Some years ago an effort was made to
introduce them into this country, and
in many places East they are now com
mon.

many other cities TEEN with them, and
II person can go into most any OF them,
and, by the aid Of broken cracker or a
few crumbs, call them about him by the
score. They will even light upon his
person and eat from his hand, so readily
do they become tame. Colonel Pinger
has been trying to secure some of them
for long time, ana night before last the
incoming express brought the coveted
treasures. Ii every citizen of St. Joseph
who is able would follow Col. PInger's
example it would not be long before the
spairoWs would be So plenty ir st.

THE BURIED SEED.

Two thousand years ago flower
Bloomed liRhly in far-o6 land;
Two thousand years ago the seed
Was placed within dead mans hand.
Before the Savior came to earth
That man had lived and loved and died,
And even in that far-of land
The flower mad spread It's perfume wide.
Suns rose and set, years came and Went.
The dead hand kept its treasure well;
Nations were born aud turned to dust,
While life lay hidden In that Shell.
The shriyeled hand was robbed at last,
The seed was buried In the earth,
When, lo the life long hidden there,
Into glorious flower burst forth.
just such plant as that which grew
From sucii q seed when buried low;
Just such flower in Egypt Dloomed
And died, two Thousand years ago.
And will not He who watched the seed,
And kept the life within its shell,
Wnen those He loves are LAID to rest,
W atch o'er their buried dust as well2
And will not He from meath the sod
Cause something glorious to ariseH
Aye, though it sleep two thousand years,
Yet all that buried dust shall rise.
just such form as greets you now,
just such form as here we wear,
Only more glorious far will rise
To meet the Savior IN the air.
Then will lay ME down in peace
When called to leave this vale OF tears,
For in my flesh shall l see God,
Fen thought sleep two thousand years.
