Outstanding Legal Tender
Notes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.--The
legal tender circulation, which was
inflated by Secretary Richardson
during the panic Of September,
1873, from 1856, 900 to $382,OOO,-
600, has, under the operations OF
the specie resumption act, been
gradually reduced, until tho
amount now outstanding is less
than $l.OOO,0OO greater than it
was before the. date mentioned.
The comptroller of the currency
expresses the opinion that BY the
LIST Of November the amount out
standing will be even below what
it was prior to MIR. Richardson's
imitation. It is believed at the
Treasury Department that, should
there be anything like q healthy
revival of business, that not only
will new banks be organized, bnt
many Of the old ones which have
within the past year been retiring
their circulation will deposit bonds
for an increase.
Should this expectation be
realized, il is not improbable that
by the end OF the present fiscal
year, June 30 next, the volume Of
legal tenders outstanding will
have approximated nearly to the
limit fixed by the resumption
act, viz 0O,00O,00O.

works an irreparable'.injury TO pe-
titioner, his son and the entire

it tends to degrade them as citi-
zens.

length to the evils that the separa-
ton of the schools would cause 10

AT the window of his Office, up stairs,

have been asleep, and undreaming of the
awful danger 80 near by.
"PIl try to save him" cried voice
she knew-Dick's voice-and then she
saw him fighting his way through the
flames, and the last glimpse of his face
showed how brave he was, in the wild
tempest of fire and smoke. She held
her breath, pale and still, and waited,
while her heart kept saying over
"Dear Dick, oh, God, save him" in
prayerful kind of way.
She knew then that the lover who was
risking his life so nobly was more TO her
than the lover he was risking his life
for could ever be.
Suddenly she caught sight of Richards
face at the window of T,everson's room
He had Leverson in his arms, for the

had saved life and lost his own.

voice, wild, sharp and shrilI with pain,

Lois had called him, and hc would make
a wild, desperate, almost hopeless effort to
save himself.
He leaned out and grasped the rod, and
swung himself over the window sill, and
slipped down, down.
The rod blistered his hands but he

Iround him, and broke over him, but he
