the Currency System Of Great Britain.

There is vague but general impression
in the minds of many people that specie
F"J mtg Is. v-s--ns 4ha nacassitv nf keeping
a large quantity Of gold in reserve by
banks and in circulation generally in order
to hoat the paper currency and other evil
dences of money used in business at par
with gold. That this is not true may be
seen by referring to the example of Gre at
Britain, whose financial stan ling is known
to be of the highest character The Bank
Of England has deposits and circulation
amounting to e55, S29, Oo0 while its coin
and bullion amount to 6 4, 455, 000-that is
the liabilities or that institution on account
of circulation is more than two and third
times larger than the specie upon which
it is based. When, however, we take into
consideration the condition of the other
banking institutions Of England, we fin r
that banks having capital Of $50, 600, 600
have habilities-that is their circulation
and deposits-aggregate e450, ,o0o,O 600. The
liabilities of all the banking corp orations
in England, Ireland and Scotland amount to
e57s, 900, 900 in excess of the capital stock.
To secure all this liability and float at par
the notes of these institutions, these banks
either bold Or have deposited with the
Bank of England cash and notes of the
latter amounting to Etc, 900, 900. In other
words, the banks of Great Britain are do
ing business On a reserve which Is equal o
but four and half per cent of their liza =
bilities, and this amount enables them to
do that business upon specie basis. The
notes in circulation, however, are put at |
only e43, 900, 600, while the other liabilities
are put at es70, 600, 600. In 1879 the best
authorities put the amount of precious
metals held by banks In circulatio u
at e131, 900, 900. A considerable portion
Of this is doubtless in circulation as toke n
currency, while the balance floats at
gold par, the vast amount of bank notes |
and commercial paper tn that realm whic h |
must, at any given date, be ten time s
as great as the coin in the Kingdom. er
These facts may serve to allay the fears
Of those who believe that we must kee
nearly as much gold in the country to |
maintain specie payment as the banks
have paper in circulation. -Bostoa Jour :

WASHINGTON, Murch 28-General Sher-
| man says that the adyices received BY him
as to the movements Of Sitting Bull are
quite conflicting. He doss not attach
much Importance to them thus far though
letter vas recently received by him from
across the border saying that Sitting Bull
was in eonanlanl of a large foros Of IndiaEs
well armed, who were intent on moving
over the border over the american frontier
settlements. No plan OF active Operations
has yet been decided upon by our military
authorities, but every sf 1rF, says General
Sherman, is being made TO strengthen Forts
Bufofd, Keogh, Custer and Benton, 40 az
10 encourage settlers and others to occupy
the lands and make Ehe valley of the Yek
lowstone barrier between the friendly
and hostile Indians, just as has been hith.
erto done III the valleys of the Plagte and
Arkansas. The result, he hopes, will be
that all the Indians Of the Sioux family
who are susceptible Of civilizations win re-
main along the Missouri river within the
reservation set apart for them, while the
disaffeceed and hostile lnaians will follow,
go north OF the Missouri river In the neigl-
borhood Of Milk river, and oyer into tie
British possessions. IN due time these
will also be brought into subsection or else
forced to remain In British Territory, when
we shall have o responsible government to
deal with in regard to the eontrot and con-
duct of these Indians. Tho Canadian au-
chorities have power to punish them, and
we have not. General Sherman does not
feel much apprehension OF danger from Sit
ting Bull and his followers. at

REGRET,
BY JEAN INGELoW.

oh. that word Regret
There have been nights and morns when we have
sighed,
$ Let us alone, Regret! We are content
To throw thee all our past, SO thou wilt sleep
For aye" But it is patient and it wakes,
1t hath not learned to cry itself to sleep,
But plaineth on the bed that is 30 hard.
We did amiss when we did wish it gone
And over; sorrows humanize our race;
Tears are the showers that fertilize this world
And memory of things precious keepeth warm
The heart that once did hold them.
They are poor
Who, losing, have forgotten; they most poor
OF all who lose and wish they might forget - a4,.,A
For lifeis one and in Its warp and woof
There runs thread of gold that glitters fair,
And sometimes in the pattern shows most sweet
Where there are sombre col0rs 1t is true
That we have wept. But, o! this thread of gold,
We would not have it tarnsh let us tmn
Oft and look upon the wondrous web,
And when it shineth sometime we shall know
That memory is possession.

The Prettiest woman in Washington So
ciety.

c1ety.
The prettiest woman in Washington
society is the wife of Representative Willis,
of New York. Yet she is the hardest one
to describe. Her hair is dark brown, and
waving, she parts it in the middle, combs
it smoothly behind her ears, and ties it in
the nape of her neck, braids the ends in
two braids about an inch wide, and wears
them in loops very low in the neck. The
style is girlish, and shows the contour of
her finely shaped head. and from the way
it is dressed one can see there is no false
hair worn. She is rather tall, finely poised
figure, neither fat nor slender. Her eyes
are blue, dark lashed, expressive. Her
face rather long teeth pretty nose perfect,
and complexion with roses of health On her
cheeks. She is always dressed in such
way that her clothing does not attract at
tention. 1t is her undescribably beautiful
face and fine form that you admire. She
has no need to depend on dress for beauty.
Her husband 10 immensely wealthy.
have seen her often in the gallery of the
House accompanied by one of her children,
a little girl three years old, so angelic in
her beauty that no painters brush could
paint her as she is. The night of the re-
ception Mrs. Willis wore a pale blue
brocaded silk, high necked and elbow
sleeves. Her hair was braided in school
girl fashion, and one deep red rose stuck
straight up in the top of the plait as any
child might carelessly put it. Her husband
eyed her with admiration all the evening.
He is a fat, blaok-eyed, baidheaded, good
natared man, scarcely as tall, at least no
taller than his wife.
I" Do take me home /" she said late at
night coming from b brilliant circle of
gentlemen by whom she had been surround
ed, toward her husband who was standing
near me.
Say please" said the tyrant.
Please take me home" she repeated
with mock humility, and they started off
arm in arm, laughing like two children
