An Immense Increase OF Reserves and
Leekup OF Currency.
WASHINGTON, December THE Buck.
ner BILL which the Committee on Bank.
ing and Currency has agreed to report to
the House, is Of great importance to bank
ing interests. Under the law as II stands,
all the national banks are required to de-
posit cash reserve with the Treasury
against their circulation equal to five per
cent of the amount outstanding. As
against deposits, the banks Of. this city
have to hold lawful money reserve Of
25 per cent. Those Of the other redemp-
ton cities have TO own reserve OF % per
cent; while from the other, or country,
banks a reserve Of Is per cent is required |;
but all the banks, except those OF New
York city, may count as part OF their re-.
serves three-ffths OF their balances with
banks in the redemption cities. The
Buckner bill requires that all banks'shall
hold the same rate OF reserves against cir
culaton as they now do against deposits;
that no deposit with banks in the redemp-
ton cities shall count as reserve; in other
words, that all reserves shall consist OF
cash in the banks own vaults; and that
not less than one-half Of the reserves
shall consist Of United States coin, and
the remainder OF other lawful money.
The following figures will show what
would be the effect Of the passage Of the
Buckner bill. compared with the opera.

CREEPING UP THE STAIRS.

In the softly-faling twilight

With a quiet step entered
Where the children were at play
/ was brooding DER some trouble,
That had met me unawares,
When "A little voice came ringing,
''Me is creepin up "a stairs =.
All it touched the tenderest heart-string
With a breath and force divine,
And such melodies awakened
As mere words can ne'er define;
And / turned to see your darling.
All forgetful Of my cares,
When / saw the little creature
Slowly creeping up the stairs.
Step by step she bravely clambered
On her little hands and knees,
Keeping up constant chattering
Like a magpie in the trees,
Till at last she reached the topmost,
When DER ali her worlds affairs
She, delighted, stood victor,
After creeping up the stairs
Painting heart, behold an image
OF mans brief and struggling life.
Whose best prizes must be captured
With q noble, earnest strife
Onward. upward reaching ever,
Bending 20 the weight OF cares,
Hoping, fearing, still expecting,
We 60 creeping up the stairs.
On their steps may be no carpet,
BY their side NAV be no rail,
Hands and knees may often pain rs
And the heart may almost fail;
Still above there is the glory
Which no sinluiuess ImpaIrs
With its rest and joy forever,
After creeping up the stairs.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAN in the right side, under the
L edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain IS in the left
side; the patient IS rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and"is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach IS affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are COstive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation IN the back part. Q There is
generally a considerable loss of men,

sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough IS sometimes an
attendant The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer.
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try 1t. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
