Intelligent Lying.

The New York Times wonders at the
fact that there is such a small amount OF
intelligent falsehood, and says:
The purpose Of a lie of the genuine
sort is to deceive; when it does not de-
ceive it is a failure, and therefore use
lessly told. Nothing but an air OF prob.
ability would seem to be an excuse to the
utterer for the utterance of falsehood,
and yet it is exactly in this regard that
he is signally wanting.

one in a hundred economies it effect
lively. They are very apt to be lavish
where they should be saving, and saving
where they should be lavish. They ex-
ercise very little, if any, determination
they evince almost no tact; they exag.
gerate to a point Of transparency they
overload their statements with positive.

cause they desert nature, and resort tC
sensationalism. ALWAYS intent on i'm
mediate effect, they disregard the ulti
mate one; they gain a victolJ t day q
the expense Of a double defeat on thu

they over.charge their piece, and think

it. Incapable of properly adaptinI
means to ends, they misrepresent NOR

their superauous guilt by increased e1

rnHr MONEY.

Secretary Sherman, 10 making hls ar
engagements to roll out the heavy silver
dollars e the country through the
mails. will appreciate the lutte story
told by Nathan Sargent (0liver Old
scbool) about Nicholas Riddle and the
Savannah branch bank. One of the as
saults against the United States Bank
was the calculated happy thought" to
prove its insolvency by breaking n of
its branches, of which there were ten or
twelve, situated in different cities. Sa-
vannah was far distant from Phila,
delphia in those days, and the business
of the bank raj comparatively small,
consisting chiefly of drafts upon cotton
sales, requiring very little specie, OF
which there was but a small amount
kept in its vaults, compared to its bills
in circulation. 1t would be al easy
matter, therefore, so calculated the op'
posing parties, to secure quietly a large
amount of the bills, present them for re-
demption before the bank had notice,
make a run on it, 10 other words, and
haveits bills protested aud its doors shut;
thus proving the insolvency efthe branch,
it would react on the parent concern.
So the scheme was set going. But Mr.
Nicholas Biddle sat in his counting
house reading the weekly returns OF the
branch banks. For several weeks be OBJ
served the reports from n branch after
another. I'VE return you less than our
average Of Savannah branch notes..
Just what il meant was not apparent, but
meant something evidently, SO the ready
president, keeping his owu counsel, qui
etly shipped two hundred thousand o
specie to the Savannah branch, with {
letter of caution and advice to the pres
ident. Meanwhile the New York opera
tor, having secured something like one
hundred and seventy.6ve thousand dol
lars of the bills of the Savannah brancl
bank, started for that place, secure in hi
scheme. Arrived there he asked a pr
waite interview of the president, and in
formed him that be was a New YorI
broker and had a quantity of bills 70
redemption, probably a much large
amouHt than was usually presented q
any one time. To his surprise the pre-
ident did not appear at all diseon
certed, but politely replied tha
he would be happy to give him draft
on New York or New Orleans for til
amount. These. however we're declines
aud the specie demanded. The Pres
dent reminded him that he could get th
specie for the drafts in New York an

But the broker insisted on the speci
