Gil. I have seen some of the proofs Of such
colored photographs by the Albert pr. IS.
An expert printer could. hardly give the
colors of the object more faithful in living
reality, and with a d~istinctnsss to the incest
shades The secret ofthe invention consists
in the analysis of the white light into the
three ~colors-yellow, blue and red-and in
their recovery Of the three colors ready for
the press. On q plate, chemically prepared,
80 q to receive but the yellow parts Of the
light, and the tones of the colors of the OBJ.
ject to be reflected, the first photograph is
taken when q negative of that plate Is at once
put under the press, whose cylinder is dub.
bed over with yellow paint. None but the
tones ofthe yellow colors are now seen in
the impression. After that the object il
photographed on a plate made to reflect but
the blue colors. This plate now under the
press reflects a blue impression, the cylinder
being dubbed ever with blue paint. In the
same manner he receives but the tones Of
the red colors by means of a third plate.
Printing the individual pictures of a yellow,
blue and red over each other, a picture il
produced true to nature, the colors inter.
mixing by having been printed over each
other. The idea, long entertained and pros.
ecuted by Albert, to photograph colors, may
no longer be considered As not feasible. 1,
is hard at present to ~foretell what revolution
the new invention will produce in the many

tracted is, it Is certain that the world ad-
vances that man through every succeeding
period becomes happier and happier that all
which we may suppose designed by our crea-
ton is secured that great changes begin, pro-
coed, and are consummated with little refer
ence to the life Of the individual. Every CEN
tury is made up of the accomplishments or
failures of three generations of men. 1t is
only the exceptional life which is of impOr-
lance, for as to the great majority it makes no
difference when it dies, and would have made
little if it had never lived.
Those who are in the strength of youth often
wonder whether greatly advanced years will
bring a disrelish of life and earth, and an
anxiety to have all over; but probably nobody
reached the period at which an intelligent
conclusion upon this point could be arrived at.
The original physical constitution has some
thing to do with such prolonged life, but so
has the cheerful, sunny, and cOntented dispO-
stion which makes the best of everything
and wastes no vitality in fretting. There is
good reason to believe that neither growing
nor grumbing, chronic dissatisfaction nor
intermittent irritability, will add to our length
of days. Capt. Lahrbush, we believe, had an
excellent faculty for making friends; as those
of his childhood passed away, he found new
ones for his manhood, and so Oh from stage
to stage to the last scene of all. He liveth
best who loveth best and may be, other
things being equal, he liveth the longest!

DFBT md CURRENCY.

The first official statements OF debt and cur
rency changes made by the new Admlnlstra-
ton are the more interesting because they
complete the record for the first quarter of
the new year. The reduction of debt is re-
markedly large, amounting to $11, 1O7,O16 Al
for the month. But, as Secretary Sherman
explains in his statement, T0,553,SOO of this
reduction is educ to the cancellation and
" destruction of bonds held in trust for pay
"ment of Alabama awards" with the accrued
interest thereon. Thus the reduction of debt
otherwise is only 81, 553, PIG Al, but this also
is very creditable result, for so large re-
duction has been effected in only two months
since September, 1873, and but rarely before
that date. The reduction in the principal of
the interest bearing debt is 1888, 800.
There is also n reduction of S2,2S5,O33 26
IN interest due, and an increase of only
So, 36O697 90 in interest accrued. The
reduction in currency has been extraor-
dinariy large. Owing to the large issues of
new bank circulation during the month, no less
than 81 ,5S3,2SO in legal tenders has been re-
tired There have also been redeemed 1915 of
old demand notes, and $993,90S ~ of frac-
tional notes, so that the total decrease of debt
used as currency has been $2,577,463 81.
The new Administration has reason to con-
graduate itself upon very creditabe result
of its first months wOrk-a result the more
gratifying because it brings down the paper
currency in actual use to $6SS, 192, 74O, and
the legal tenders in use to $346,511,56O.
According to the statement of Controller
Knox, the amount of legal tenders on deposit
for the retirement of bank circulation is only
SIG, A, 644, the amount having decreased by
81, 259, 243 since Jan. L. During the quarter
the new issue of currency has been "a, 24s, 600,
but this was exceeded by the amount retired,
$5,017.973. and besides, $4Ss,175 of circua-
ton was surrendered. SO that the net decrease

Total. $3.50, 252 Ois $7O4, 1884 s75,9l4,664
Deducting $12 Os9, $40 in legal tenders on
depOsit for retirement of circulation, IN January
1875, the currency then in active use was
| S76S. 162, 7OS. Deducting the Sic, "A, 644 on
dpposit now, the currency in use Is only
| &6S8. 1872, 74O, and the decrease in paper
money in actual use has been $79,969,96S.
BIT in place of this we have all the silver
| which has. been issued, and have accumulated
| a very much larger sum in specie which,
much more largely than in 1875, is used as
reserve by banks and other financial institu-
| tons.
The detailed statement of the Controller
shows in what States banks have retired circu-
lation or gone into liquidation, or obtained
new circulation. Comparing the statement OF
April with that of January 1. we find that
in w-England there has been no increase in
the deposit for redemption of notes of liqui-
dating banks; in the Middle States, only
s2O7 900, of which $124,OOO has been in
New York and $685. 900 in Pennsylvania; in
the Southern States, about 100000, VIZ:
81 900 in Louisiana, $4,000 in Kentucky,
and $4,000 in Missouri; and in the Western
States about 100000, viz. Ohio, $4,000;
Indiana, $4,000; Illinois, $4,000; Iowa,
S39 900; Minnesota, $66,000 Kansas, $751;,
600, and Colorado. $4,000. The comparison
also shows that during the quarter legal
tenders to retire circulation have been deposited
as follows: Vermont. $4,000; Massachu-
sets, S65, 900; Rhode Island. $4,000; Con-
necticut, 500, 900; New-York, 1880 New
Jersey, $159,O00; Pennsylvania, PlO1,OOO;
MARYLAND, $4,000; Virginia, $11 900;
Georgia, So, 900; Kentucky, $4,000; Ten
nessee, $4,000; Missouri, $4,000; Ohio,
1899 600; Illinois, $4,000; Michigan, $685.
600; Iowa, $4,000; Kansas, $4,000, and
Nebraska, $4,000
IL is very interesting to compare with these
retirements of currency the amounts of new
circulation issued during the quarter to the
banks of different States OF the $4,24S.6OO
issued. more than half was to banks in
New York - 81, 237, 900 and Massachusetts,
81 100000 About 100000 more was issued
TO other New England States, and S534OOO to
other Middle States The amount issued to all
the Southern States was only about %30O,OOO,
of which Kentucky took $1SS,OOO. The
amount issued to all the Western States was
only about 100000, of which Indiana took
1907, 900. These comparisons clearly indicate
that even now, when the Issue of new circula-
ton for the first time since 1874 begins to ex
ceed the amount retired, the Western and
Southern States do Dot take enough to replace
the amounts retired by liquidation or surren-
dcred, while the New England and Middle
States only increase their circulation. During
the quarter the West has lost about $780,
600, and the South has not quite retained its
circulation, while the Ncw-EngIand States have
gained about $l,OS4,C00, and the Middle
States about $1,2OO,0OO. Obviously, "free
"banking" does not work precisely as its most
Jealous advocates expected.

From the opinions expressed by State Sena-
tors respecting the Woodin Charter amend
ments, it is chiefly evident that they are i'll
general unwilling to commit themselves In
advance. The carriage of the bill through the
Assembly is likely to be the occasion OF some
splendid political engineering. Without that
the fate of the bill may be easily foretold ;
with it, success is practicable.

As was to be naturally expected, the caucus
of the Republican leaders, white and colored
in South Carolina is hearty in its denunciations
OF the President and his policy. There is little
of Importance in such mOuthmgs. The tangi-
bic work of the caucus is an organized en-
deavor to form an anti-Hayes party and to
make the best terms possible with the COnserv-
atives. Not much fruit will be borne from a
seed planted so hastily and watered with tears
of rage 4; but if its growth be rapid it may
hapy overshadow the party line. and thus be
of inestimable benefit to the PROSTATE State.

Rhode Island is an uncertain little State, and
unregenerate foreign critics have been accus-
TONED to think that its majOrites depended a
good deal on the bank accounts of its poll
ticians. 1t gave 1000 Republican majority,
however, for Governor in 1872, and has since
gone Republican by nearly 10000, lndepend-
ent 10y $50, and Republican again last year on
the vote for Governor by 1856. This year
nobody paid much attention to the election
until within few days, when it was discOv-
cred that an unusual effort had been made by
the Democratic candidate to pay poll taxes aud
bring out the voters. There seemed little
reason for the consequent furry of alarm
about the Republican nominee for Governor,
but he pulls through by majority of over 400,
while the majority Oh the rest of the ticket
runs up to over thousand. Lieut.-Gov. Van
Zandt, who has now been chosen Governor, is
a gentleman of excellent standing, an earnest
Republican, and an exceedingly popular officer.
