Wear AND Cosl Of Bank. Nolea.

The Springfield MASS. Repub-
lican says: "During the period Of
two years and ten days from June
1874, to July l, 1876, the Comp
troller Of the Currency received
from the engravers new bank notes
to the amount of n $780, 12 /;
and he issued for replacement of
notes redeemed and the supply Of
new banks or banks increasing
their circulation, to the amount Of
$21S, 05O,S74. During the twelve
month ending the 30th ultimo, he
received $112, 1882, 625 and issued
800, 720,565. The total amount Of
mutilated currency received by the
Comptroller and destroyed as unfit
for circulation, was $685. 9S, 022
during the Two years and ten days,
and $1O6,473,1 100 during the last
twelve months. These figures in
dictate that in order to keep the
bank note circulation in good con-
dition it is necessary to renew them
once in about three years and three
months. The whole expense Of
paper printing, redemption, re-
Issues, and probably engraving the
entire issue of 1881, 000, 1000, or
about $44, 100000 of separate notes,
has to be incurred regularly about
once in three and one-fourth years,
The greenbacks have to be renewed
oftener, because the proportion OF
small not, s to the whole issue is
greater, and the small notes wear
out faster. The ones and twos
constitute q per cent. Of the
amount of bank issues, while
they constitute more than 144
per cent, of the amount of the
greenbacks. The difference will
be more clearly seen when it is
stated, with respect to the number
of notes, that 40 gfeeabacks out
of every 65 are ones and twos.
while only % out of every so bank
notes are ones and twos; or proxi,
mately, G5 greonbacks and only q
bank notes in every 100 are one

therefore, hat the greenbacks anC
bank notes taken together have t,
be renewed as often as once in thre.
years. Coin money will last from
seven to ten times as long, anC
then it can be removed at a com

How to Break off Bad Habits.

Understand the reasons, and all the
reasons, why the habit is injurious
Study the subject until there is no lin
gering doubt in your mind. Avoid the
places, the persons and thoughts that
lead to temptation. Frequent the places,
associate with the persons, indulge in the
thoughts, that lead away from tempta-
tion. Keep busy; idleness is the strength
of bad habits. Do not give up the strug.
gle when you have broken your resolu-
tions once, twice, a thousand times.
When you have broken your resolution,
just think the matter over, and endeav-
or to understand why it is you failed, so
that you may be on your guard against
a recurrence of the same circumstance.
Do not think that it is an easy thing
that you have undertaken.

A SIOUX WARRIORS DIARY.
the interesting relics brought back
by gentlemen connected with General
Crooks recent expedion against hostile
Indians and found in the village of Cra-
zy Horse, after it was abandoned by the
band and previous to its destruction by
Gen Crooks soldiers, was book full of
curious drawings, which appear to be a
military record expressed in picture
form of some one Of the young warriors
belonging to the Indian band. We have
seen the book, which contains many
sketches, remarkable for the bold de-
lineation and truthfulness to nature,
bearing in mind, of course, that the
same is the work of an untutored artist.
The pictures represent attacks on
American wagon trains, parties travel
ing along the highway. In few instan-
ces female figures occur. The victims
are pictured as being scalped, shot with
rifles and arrows andstabbed with lances.
In some of the pictures the parties at
tackled are Indians of other tribes, Crows
and Pawnees being especially noticeable.
Nearly all the scenes are painted in
bright colors; the blue forms of the mur-
dered soldiers and the red trappings of
the Sioux braves are especially vivid. 1t
is quite certain that every scene so pic
tured was an actual occurrence. The
warrior to whom this book belonged has
a very sanguinary record, if that is true.
The book itself appears to have been an
account book that was stolen from some
post-trader. 1t bears date 1869
Omaha Republican.
