How They Ran.

old skinner is a great lover of war
"reminiscences, and is not slow TO tell OF
b;S own exnloits in that way. As with
il,,9st i.S n,an who pride themselves on
war record, skinner also gives the best
s;Je of his tales to his own army. He was
taIIino one of his grandchildren recently
of famous battle in which he was en-
Gagged. His description of the flying balls,
Booming of cannon, and charge OF the
tToons Vas very vivid, and the little boy
listened with Increased interest. At last,
when Skinner stopped to fill his pipe, the
little boy asked:
"And did the enemy run :"
ssDid they run 90 said skinner. ''Great
Scott, how they did run! Ny dear boy,
thew ran so like thunder that we ran three
miles to keep out of their way, an, II We
hadn't thrown our guns away, the'd have
run over us, sure. .'s-Oa City Derrick

An incident recently under the obser-
vatiOn of the writer, is in point. During
the winter of 1876, a grand banquet was
given the Ohio General Assembly, Judi
ciary and Military officers, by some of
the prominent citizens of our Capital
| City. No labor or expense was spared in
ministering to the comfort or pleasure of
the guests, yet, no wine was to be found

does not now work in such manner, and

Farmer A = who has just built new house
or new barn, or has good buildings
without rods, and tells the danger of be-
ing unprotected from lightning; talks up
the value of his rods after the most ap-
proved style; measures the number OF
feet required with his eye, ana estlmateS
the expense of the thing usually at $19,
more or less. The farmer ascertainS the
price of wheat and other produce, and
makes a calculation of how much he can
snare and the amount it will bring, and
thinks SIS no very great investment Tor
the protection of his buildings and prop
ertv. and concludes to let the agent put
the rods up. The agent is happy, but
before leaving manages some way to get
the farmer to sign a little instrument OF
writing, to make the contract solld, stlII

Profit Upon the Circulation of the
National Banks.

The Comptroller of the Currency has
made a statement which shows that the
whole amount of interest received by the
National banks upon bonds deposited
security for circulation was, on July L,
! $16 ,912, ,736. If from this amount be de-
Quoted ten per ceht. Isl ,691 ,273), which is
| the interest upon that portion of the
bonds on which the banks receive no Cir
culatiOn, and also the one per cent. tax on
circulation ($3, ,1SS ,29S, or a total of ST.
879, ,564), there will remain s., 2,033, ,172,
which is the net amount of Interest recelv-
ed by the banks upon 80 per cent. of the
| bonds deposited as security for their cir
culating notes. The National banks now
hold about $40, ,000, 900 of ten-fOrty bonds.
If these are converted into per cents.
the net amount of interest received by
the banks on the 1st of August will be
$11, ,776, ,207. If all of the bonds held by
the National banks are converted into 4
per cents. and the same deductions made
as before, the net amount of interest re-
eeived by the National banks upon the 90
per cent. of bonds upon which circulation
is issued will be $9, ,564, ,S75.
If the present capital of the National
banks was loaned upon bonds and mort
cages at eight per cent. it would yield
$29, ,892, ,051 interest annually. The net
| income derived by the National banks
g from United States bonds, if bearing in
e terest at four per cent, and from the loaT
: of the amount of circulation issued upor
e these bonds at eight per cent, amounts t.
e $36, ,412 SIS, which leaves a difference o
: Sc, $40, ,567 as the profit of National banks
= upon circulation, based upon four PEI
e cent. bonds, which is equal to one anC
0 seventy-four one-hundredths per cent. OF
= the capital invested.
Under similar circumstance the profit
e upon circulation to the National banks il
: localities where the rate of interest is sil
l. per cent. would be about two per cent
: more than if their entire capital was di
rectly loaned at six per cent. upon bond
It and mortgages.
l. The Comptroller has also made state
D ment, showing that the National bank
now in existence are entitled to receiv
n upon their present capital, under sectiO
l. 5,17I of the Revised Statutes, $3.50, ,372, 81
ID of circulating notes. The total amour
issued is $3I3, ,O45, ,346. The Nations
s, banks already organized and in operatio
rs are therefore entitled to receive upon tn
v, deposit of the necessary amount of Unite
We bonds, sac, 1877 $50 of additional circul;
IL tion. In other words, they can increa'
their circulation one-fifth if at any tin
"a they are in want of the additions

In our last issue we noticed the fact that
Prof. Hard, who has been employed in
our High School for the past four years,
had resigned the pOsition-to which he
had been elected for the ensuing school
year-to accepta position as superintend-
ent of the Public Schools of GaIlipolis.-
Ia the last number of the GGllipolis jour
nal we notice the following well-merited
compliment to Prof. Hard. and most cor
daily concur with the Journal in what it
says of him as an accomplished teacher.
On leaving our schools he carries with
him our best wishes for his success in his
new field of educational work. The Jour-
nal says:
Prof. M. f. Hard, the new Superin-
tendent of our public schools, is a gradu-
ate of the Ohio Wesleyan University, at
Delaware, of the class of 1873. He has
had much experience in teaching Be
sides the six years thus employed before
graduating, he has had six years since,
two years in the Gallipolis High School
and four years in the Washington (Fay-
ette county, High School. He has all the
elements, in character, in education, and
in experience, to make a popular and sue
cessful superintendent, and under his
management we expect to see our public
schools maintain the high character they
have reached under the superintendent
of Prof. Spaulding.

CAMBRIDGE, OHIO, July 25.-The time
for the National Reunion at this place,
August 26 to %, inclusive, is rap idly ap-
proaching. The Executive Committee,
with Major S. K. Brown, President, and
Captain w. II. McIlyar, assisted by Cap
tain j. B. Ferguson, as Secretary, has
made ample arrangements to make this
years encampment the largest ever held
in the State of Ohio. The Reunion held
here last summer was considered great
success, but that was a mere local affair
compared to the one projected this year.
The press in city. town and country, from
Maine to Texas, have advertised this
gathering of the "blue and the gray"
Your correspondent has had access to
many Southern newspapers on file at re-
union headquarters, which show that the
ex-Confederates consider Cambridge the
champion place of all the world for shak-
ing hands across the Ffbloody chasm.''
Besides liberal advertising, North an6
South, the Executive Committee has sent
out hundreds of invitations to distinguish
ed soldiers all over the country. The
Secretary has received favorable replies
from General Longstreet, General Mar
maduke, President Hayes and Cabinet
General Fitzhugh Lee, Francis Murphy,
Governor Colquitt, of Georgia, Governor
Bishop and staff, the candidates for State
offices of both tickets in Ohio, General
sherman General CARRIED, General Steed-
man, General Joseph E. johnson, Chap
lain McCabe, General Basil Duke, Colonel
McEldowney, General Wade Hampton,
General Beauregard, Governor Matthews
of West Virginia, and many others.
Colonel Harper, of Mansfield, with the
Second regiment, o. N. c., of one thou,
sand men, has already made arrange.
ments to go into camp near town, as has
also Captain BOsworth's battery, of Mari
eta.
National Importance is given to the
affair by the appropriation of ammuni
ton, ETC., by Congress. The Secretary o.
War has ordered the Pittsburg Arsenal tC
supply the committees requisition. The
veteran soldiers will be warmly welcomed
and taken care of in hospitable manner
With all these preparations made, oul
citizens are watching with anxious inter
est the progress of the yellow fever a
Memphis. 1t is hoped by that time thai
the quarantine will be raised, SO that tn
South may be fully represented.
