A New York correspondent Of a
prominent Memphis bank writes :
I'VE have shipped all your orders to
date for currency, and beg to suggest
that you husband what currency you
have as best you can, as the drain Of
currency for weeks past has been from
New York, and we for some two or
three months past have received gold
coin only in payment Of all due US.
Our supply of notes is almost exhaust
cd, and as we receive none, we shall
soon, at it now looks, only be able to
make shipments in gold coin.

Baltimore Gazette.l
Attention was called a few days
ago to the low grade Of political hon
esty and morality set forth in the
Thanksgivingday sermon, or rather
stump speech, delivered by the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher at the Ply
mouth Church. Low sensationalism
marked its politics and morality and
now here is a sample of the religion
given out from the pulpit of that
church on Sunday last. Mr.. Beecher
recited the following imaginary con-
yersation between a believer and a
peasant. The latter asks concerning
Our Savior.
"0f what counhy?'
Nazareth. "
Who we're his parants2'
Joseph and Mary, reputedly."
Who was His mother?"
Mary, who just escaped divorce
through the magnanimity Of her be-
trothed,
who was His father?'
