The inheritance Of tricks of habit ls
one Of the most perplexing Of al the
phengynenn Of heredfty. The Tess
striking the habit the more remarkable.
perhaps. y its persistence IS an ihhefl-
led trait. Giron de Buzareingues states
that he knew a man Who. when he lay
on his back, was wontto throw his right
leg acToss the left; one of this persons
daughteFss had The same habit from her
birth, constantly assuming that position
in the cradle, notwithstanding the re-
sistance offered By the swaddIing bands.
Darwin mentions another case IN bis
Variation Of .4ainais and Plants under
Disqualification. A child had the odd
habit Of setting its fingers in rapid mo-
lion wheneyerIs was particularly pleased
with anything. When greatly excited,
The same child would raise the hand on
both sides as high as the eyes, with the
fingers in rapid motion as before. Even
m old age he experienced difficulty in
RETAINING from these gestures. He had
eight children, one Of whom, a little
girl, when years Of age, used to set
her fingers going, Snd TO hft up her
hands after the manner Of her fathers.
A still more remarkable case is des-
cribed by Gallon. A gentlemsn's wife
noticed that when he lay fast asleep on
bis back IN bed he had the curious trick
Of raising his right arm slowly in front
Of his face, up to his forehead, and then
dropping it with jerk, 80 that the
wrist fell heavily on the bridge Of his
nose. The trick did not occur every
night, but occasionally, and was inde-
pendent OF any ascertained cause. Some
times it was repeated necessarily for an
hour or more. The gentleman's nosr
was prominent, and its bridge often be-
came sore from the blows which il re-
ceived. Al one time an awkward sore
was produced that was long in healing,
on account of the recurrence, night af-
ter night, ofihe blows which FIRST caused
Il. His wife had 70 remove the button
from the wrist of his night-gown, as it
made severe scratches, and some means
were attempted OF tying his arm. Many
years after his death, his son married a
lady who had never heard Of the family
incident. She however, observed pre-
cisely the same peculiarly in her hus-
band: but bis nose, from not being par
ticularly prominent, has never as yet
suffered from the blows. The trick
does not occur when he is half asleep,
as, for example, when he is DOING in
his armchair; but the moment he is fast
asleep, he is apt TO begin. tits, as with
his father, intermittent; sometimes ceas-
ing for many nights, and sometimes al
most incessant during part of every
night. 1t is performed, as it was with
his father, with his right hand. One Of
his children, girl, has inherited the
same trick. She performs it, likewise,
with the right hand, but in a slightly
modified form; for after raising the arm,
she does not allow the wrist to drop
upon the bridge OF the nose, but the
palm of the half-cfosed hand falls over
and down the nose, striking it rather
rapidly decided improvement on the
fathers and grandfather's idea. The
trick is Intermittent in the girls case

These figures are official, and they show
that while the bonded debt at the close of
Grants administration was 81, 697 300, on
the 3lst of July, last, after seventeen
months of Secretary Sherman's manage
ment ofthe finances, it was 81 ,795, 677, 800,
exhibiting an increase Of s97, $3.50, 400;
and the increased interest paid on the pub
lie debt from Both April to 31st July last,
was s., 086 ,463. The statement of this
journal therefore, that at no time since
Secretary Sherman entered Office was the
public debt and the interest thereon so
large as it is to-day, is strictly correct.
True, the expenditures Of the govern
ment have not been in excess of the rev.
enues, nor has there been what should be
a permanent increase of the bonded debt.
While the four and half per cent. bonds
were simply exchanged for six per cent.
bonds, Secretary Sherman was steadily re-
ducing the interest on the public debt
without either increasing or diminishing
the principal; but since he commenced the
sale OF the four per cent. bonds, ostensibly
to redeem six per cent. bonds under gov.
eminent calls, but in fact, as it now ap-
pears, to fortify himself for the enforce
ment of specie resumption, he has gathered
into the vaults Of the Treasury about e
million a day until he has sold, during the
last four months, 2,941 .05 more bonds
than he has redeemed. The inevitable
result is that he is now paying six per
cent. on the bonds his boarded money is
to redeem in the future, and is also paying
four per cent. on the bonds sold in advance
Of the retirement Of six per cents. Thus
Secretary Sherman has been drawing a
million Of currency a day from the bust
ness of the country, gathering it into the
vaults of the Treasury, paying double in
terest on it, and now he points to this
achievement in triumph as he tells how
thoroughly he is getting himself prepared
for resumption on the LIST Of January next.
Just when resumption has been almost en-
tirely effected by the natural and gradual
drift of the business of the country to
specie payments, Secretary Sherman ex-
hausts himself to make it practically i'm
possible, by forcing an increase of the
debt, an increase Of the interest, and the
retirement of tens of millions of money,
exclusive of the enforced retirement of
bank circulation to prepare the banks for
resumption. Specie resumption is but
faith in the prosperity and resources of
the country, although the essential stand
ard of the money of the world; and it can
be maintained only when the general thrift
Of business and the general trust In indus
try and trade make paper preferred to
specie in transactions between men. No
statute can arbitrarily enforce resumption
any more than it can reverse the seasons
or shorten the days Of summer, and the
one road that win lead the nation to per.
manent specie resumption, is the road that
clearly leads to business confidence and
the substantial prosperity of the produc
tive industries of the Republic. Then
