SIR: Your article on bonds and interest in

and abuse fancy there would be less ignorance and
Ill feeling and greater likelihood Of Just and proper
settlement Of the questions now agttatng the pahiis
mind But while the article referred TO satisfactorily
answers many questions there is raised by it, which
is not fully considered and which (anG doubt not
many others) would like TO met.
On July /. 1873, there was paper circulation Of
$685., 597, 275, consisting OF egaender S3466Sl0l0

be increased and in place OF S35OOOO0OO b0uds upon

there would be another form OF indebtedness. ugOn
which no interest would be payable, thus saving the
Government that amount annually. Why should not
this be done The hardship OF driving the National

Of the country, from six hundred TO one thousand
million dollars OF them would probably be required for

bonds become the most durable securities for per

materially reducing the interest on the public debt

Other discoveries have been made more recently
In 1s43, a mammoth was found by MiddendOrf, a
Russian naturalist, on the Tas between the Obi and
Yenesei, in latitude GO 30. in so perfect state
that the bulb Of the eye is still preserved in the
museum at Moscow. Another carcass, together
with smaller individual, was discovered the same
year, imbedded In clay and sand near the River
Tamyr, as far north as latitude TOE 15'.

JUSTICE TO NATIONAL BANKS.


SIR: The economical suggestion" of your
correspondent j. T. Droiuare, in your issue OF to-day,
creates a very unhappy impression in reference to
National banks and which Ia calculated 70 mislead
the working men, whose he repudates He main
ains that the $500 100000 Of bonds employed by the
banks the basis OF their issues O currency draw an
interest annually Of 900 OO0 which enures wholly TO
the benefit OF the bankers and is simply burden on the
people But this Is only side OF the subject II the
banks have the privilege OF issuing bills and making
thereby an increased profit over the interest Of their
oanabe capital they tho other hand, subjected
to restrictions and burdens which compensate the ad
vantage and these your correspondent does not take
into account.
IL was shown by j. d. Hayes, OF Detroit in tho bank

Government taxes OF $7O76,0s7, and S9,7Ol,732 to
States counties, and municp Alities, being S2,lS2S79
more than Government paid them for interest on
bonds held by them" The Government then pays them
$3.50 600 for interest the bonds which they de-
post To their bills and they pay back to the
Nation in the whole OF this sum- and two millions

Zig. 3. Grinder u Indian Elephant

This specimen was manufactured in Professor
Wards establishments worthy object of national
rde since no equal establishment OF the kind exists
in the world But it was modelled after an original
purchased at Stuttgart. The original was made by
the distinguished preparateuF. l.. Martin, who
worked under the direction and advice or Dr. Oscar
Fraas, the celebrated geOlOgist and COM
parative anatomist of Stuttgart. The Royal
Museum at Stuttgart is one of the richest in
the world; aud, in certain departments, it sur
passes ALL Here had been preserved for some years
various bones which have myselfinspected, of the
extinct elephant which once rOamed over Europe.
Here was a thigh bone, there vertebTa; here
tooth and there a portion of a skull here tusk,
and there an nina OF a metacarpal. Now, every bone
ustains certain relation TO the entire bulk Of the
anmal to which It belonged Indeed, 80 great is the
uniformity Of cOrreaiOns of parts, that we safely
affirm that if elephantine bone was twice
the bulk Of another Of the same name.
the animal which used it was twice tho
bnlk Of the other The living elephants
from different regions and Of different varieties,
ages and sexes, have long been we'll known to COM
narrative ANTAGONISTS. There Is little variation
among them in the ratio of a given bone to the
whole length or height Of the animal. Now, as the
mammoth was an elephant, the known ratio of
fhigh-bone to the animal would enable the anatO-
mist 90 construct the animal from the bone
from a single bone. But in the case OF the
mammoth, every bone of the skeleton had some

Stuttgart specimen was reconstructed. The left

of which he had superInteDded, he person.

ton as TO size and proportions, and states
Chat Herr Martin took accurate measures for every
part, from original bones. He admits, however,
that some doubt may exist as to the color of the
hair and its length upon the tail and the throat OF
the animal. The very conditions Of the case pre-
ciude absolute certainty here. Bnt in respect to
these points, in the form and pose Of the creature.
tho Reconstruction has been guided by actual speci-
mems including nearly complete skeleton, pre-
served in the Imperial Museum at st. Petersburg.

The framework of tho restoration was Of timber.
Over this the contour Of tho body was sdifuily
shaped, and the whole vas covered BY skin. TO
fhls was applied an artificial covering Of hair Of
proper length, and dyed the appropriate color. And
