A BIH for Retiring National
Bank Notes,

The House Committee on Banking
and Currency, by vote of Z to 2, has
agreed to report bill for retiring the
circulating notes of National Banks.
The pith of the proposed bill is con-
tanned In its first paragraph which is
as follows:
"Be it enacted &c. That as seon as
may be practicable after the passage of
this act the Secretary OF the Treasury
shall cause TO be prepared an issue
Treasury notes equal in amount to the
circulation of the National Banking
Association Oh the LIST day of February,
Ammo Domini, 1873, being the sum OF
1920, 647 $50, which shall be used in
the redemption and retirement in the
way herein after provided, of the cir
culating notes of the national banks,
which Treasury notes shall be in the
following form =
WASHINGTON, D. Co.
The United States of America are
indebted to the bearer in the sum Of
dollars.
And shall be signed by the Treas
urer of the United States and counter
signed by the Register of the Treasury
of their signatures shall be thereto en-
graved and shall contain such devices
and superscriptions as the Secretary of
the Treasury shall direct, and the de-
nominations of such notes and the gen.
eral similitude thereof shall confirm as
nearly as may be to those of the Unit
ed States notes, commonly known as
legal tender notes. They shall be re-
ceivable in payment of all taxes, Gus
toms, excuses, debts and demands of
every kind due to the United States
and of all claims and demands against
the United States, except for obliga-
tions made payable in coin by existing
laws, and shall be received by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury at par for the
four per centnm bonds of the United
States, authorized to be issued by the
act entitled, sAn act to Authorize the
Reminding of the National DEBIT ap-
proved July IA, 1870"
This bill will shortly come up for &C
ton in the House, and develop the
real strength there of national banking
interests.

rHE HoNEsr FARMER:

Happy I count the farmers life,
Its various round OF wholesome toll;
An honest man with loving wife,
And offspring native TO the soil.
Thrice happy, surely lin his breast
Plain wisdom and the trust in God;
HIS path more straight from east to west
Than politician ever trod.
His gains no loss to other men;
His stalwart blows infiict no wound;
Not busy with his tongue or pen,
lie questions truthful sky and ground.
Partner with seasons and the sun,
Natures co-wOrker; all his skill

Winds blow, herb, beast their laws fulfill

His comedy children proudly hold
Their parentage best heritage.
Unhealthy work, false mirth. chicane.
Guilt-needless woe, and useless strife
o cities. VAIN, inane, insanel
How happy Is the farmers life!

Stay, stay at home my heart, and rest;
housekeeping hearts are happiest
For those that wander, they know not VIII ere
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.
Weary and homesick and distressed
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baff1ed and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
To stay at home is best.
Then stay at home my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
Ger all that hutter their wings and fly
A hawk is lowering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.

Obituary of a Bonanza King.

By the death of William Shonev
O'Brlen, California is minus one rich
man, and that is all. The riches are
still here, and SO the rich man will not
be regretted by the community at large.
On the contrary, it is possible that some
OF the wealth that he had accumulated
may be distributed, and then his death
will be source of good. It is sad that
man with such opportunities as Mr..
O'Brien Should have died and left be-
hind him no record; that his memory
should depend for perpetuity simply
upon the amount of money he was able
to grasp between his two hands. The
height of his ambition was simply to be
rich; the most refined of his enjoyments
was game OF seven-up in the back room
OF saloon. He might have been a
philanthropist; he was only sensualist.
He might have left a name that would
have been remembered with honor and
gratitude for ages, whereas his only cpl
taph can be, Z" He was very rich" But
if he did very little good to other people
with his money, he took very little en-
joyment out of it himself, and California
may be thankful that fortune placed
wealth in the hands OF a man who was
not capable of using it for worse pur-
poses than the qualification of mere SEN
sual desires. We may congratulate our
selves that O'Brien, if he did little good,
was debarred by nature from doing
much harm with his gold. San Fran

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The report of Gems. Barnard and
Wright, United States Engineers, to whom the
petition of Capt. Eads for the modification Of
the Jetty act was referred by the Secretary of
War, states that the works are permanent, and
their success is so decided as to make it i'm
portant to prosecute them with vigor.
The President has removed Gen.
Weitzel from the Collectorship at Cincinnati,
and appointed Amos Smith, Jr., as his sue
cessor. The President has also nominated
Gustavus st. Gem, Surveyor of Customs at st.
Louis; John HI. Smyth, of North Carolina,
Minister Resident and Consul General at Lii
IBERIA, Africa; and Charles futile, of New York,
member of the Board of Indian Commits
sioners.
The President has appointed ex-Con-
gresham Rapier Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. in Alabama.
The President sent to the Senate last
week message inclosing communication
from the Secretary of State on the subject of
the result of the deliberations of the Fishery
Commission appointed under the treaty of
Washington. The President, in his message,
recommends the appropriation of the neces-
sary sum, with such discretion to the Executive
Department in regard to it's payment as, in the
wisdom Of Congress, public interest may seem
to require.
Vice President Wheeler and Mrs. r.
B. Hayes left the capital last week for Malone,
N. Y, the home of the former, where they will
rusticate for several days.
| The House Committee on Expendi-
lures in the State Department has agreed to
report articles OF impeachment against Consul
General Bradford at Shanghai. The Republi-
can members have doubts that the Office is i'm
peachable under the constitution.
A Washington dispatch says "the
sale of the 4-per-cent. bonds has already
reached such an amount as will shortly justify
the issue of call for five million per cents,
which will be replaced by per cents. Sher-
man denies that the Syndicate has made an
offer for six hundred millions of per cents at
par, provided it was given a monopoly of the
sale. He says that under no circumstances
will he give any bankers monopoly of the
tours. They are, he considers, the peoples
bonds, and he intends they shall remain so"
