TIE FOUR PER CENT. LOAN.

The funding act passed seven years
ago, authorized the issue of two hundred
million ten year five per cent. bonds,
three hundred million fifteen year four
and half per cents. and thousand mil
lion thirty year tour per cents. Secre-
tsry boutwell, tried the experiment of
a popular loan but there had been no
panic then and capitalists were freely
loaning their money to build the
Northern Pacific and to further similar
enterprises which promised Colleen
returns, but fell far short Of
the snticipstlons of promoters as
we'll as investors. The loan promised
only five per cent, and the government
found itself compelled to fall back on the
syndicate, who finally took the loan at a
discount, less than the cost of advertising
and popularizing it. They disposed of
the five per cents. and wers selling no
inconsiderable amount OF four and half
per cents. when the Russo Turkish war
broke out. The five per cents. rapidly
advanced to Ill and the four and halt
per cents. are quoted at l07a. Secretary
SAERMAN has now concluded to try the
four per cents, in a small way, and will
offer twenty-five million of the thousand
million authorized, at par. The bonds
will be issued in sums of fifty
dollars and multiples thereof, and will
be advertised as a popular loan. This
new loan, were it sll taken, would make
al important reduction in the interest
burden of our people. The result Of the
popular subscription will be watched
with great interest

SENATOR JONES, of Nevada, the hardest
OF hard money men, he who proclaimed
gold to be designated by heaven as the
material for money and sfterwsrd amend
ed the proposition in favor OF silver, has
announced his purpose to take the floor
AS full-blown Greenbacker. He has
drawn up an amendment to the Constltu-
tion of the Uuited States, which he in
tends submitting to the Senate at the
extra session, providing that paper only
shall be used rs legal tender money in
the United States. and that the issue
shall be at the rate of twenty dollars per
head for the population of the country,
to be ascertaiRed annuslly by a census
On the basis of the last census this would
give a currency of about seven hundred
and seventy million dollars. MIR. JONES
saws such An amendment would reduce
gold and silver to mere commodities, and
they would no longer be standards OF
value. He thinks his amendment would
be popular and can be carried through
most of the Western an Southern Legs

Story Of a PrincelE BoE.

Charles Z. Of France, when a child, was
one day playing in an apartment Of tht
palace, while q peasant Of Auvergne wa:
busily employed in scrubbing the floor
The latter, encouraged by the gayety an6
playtulness of the young count, entered
familiar?y into conversation with him, and
to amuse him, told him number OF divert
ing stories and anecdotes Of his province
The prince, with all the ingenaousness %
childhood, expressed his commiseration
for the narrator's evident poverty, and fol
the labor which he was obliged to undergo
in order to obtain scanty livelihood.
"Ah p said the man, "my poor wife and
five children often go supperless to bed"
"Well, them" replied the prince, with
tears in his eyes, "you must let me manage
for you. Ny governor, every month, gives
me some pocket money; for which | have
no occasion, since want for nothing. You
shall take this money and give il to your
wife and children, but lie sure not to men
ton word Of the matter 10 q living soul,
or you will be finely scoldad."
On leaving the apartment, the honest de-
pendent acquainted the governor Of the
young prince with the conversation that
had taken place.
The latter, after praising the servant
highly for his scrupulous integrity, desired
him to accept the money, and to keep the
affair a profound secret adding that he
should have no cause to repent Of his dis
cretion.
At the end Of the month the Count
d. Artois received his allowance as usual,
and watching the moment when he was
unobserved, hastily sl Pped the whole sum
into the hands Of the protegee. On the
same evening a child's lottery was propos-
ed far the amusement Of the young princes
by the governor, who had purposely dis
tributed among the prizes such objects as
were most likely to tempt u boy Of the
counts age. Each Of bis brothers eagerly
hazarded his little store, but the Count
d Artois kept aloof from his faForite amnse-
ment.
The governor, feigning astonishment, at
last demanded the reason for his unusual
prudence still no answer came from the
eo.ln4
