Financial affairs have undergone no change
worthy of extended comment since our last
weekly review. The resumption of specie pay
ment created no stir in financial circles in
this city. The banks were all ready to pay
either coin or legal tender notes, but there was
no demand for the former save in a few in
stances where the glittering gold was wanted
for pocket pieces. First-class commercial pa

HIGH RATES OF INTEREST.

In the thirteenth century the Lom-
bards frequently demanded 20 per
cent. for the use of money. About the
beginning of that century the Count
ess of Flanders was obliged to bor-
row money in order to pay her hus-
bands ransom. She procured the sum
requisite, partly from Jews. The
highest interest which she paid to
them was about 20 per cent, and some
of them exacted nearly 80. In the
beginning of the fourteenth century
Philip ", fixed the interest which
might be legally exscted In the Fairs
of Champagne at 20 per cent. The
interest of money in ArragOn was
somewhat lower. James /, of Spain,
fixed it by law at eighteen per cent.
AS late as the year l49O, it appears
that the interest of money in Placentia
was at the rate of forty per cent. This
was the more extraordinary, because
at that time the commerce of the Ital-
ian States was becoming considerable.
Charles V, fixed the rate of interest in
his dominions in the Low Countries
at twelve per cent, but it was not un-
common to exact more than that sum.
The first mention we have of the rate
of interest in England is IN the reign
of Richard the First, when it was ten
per cent. it was afterward gradually
reduced, at different times, to its pres
ent rate of five per cent, at which it
was fixed in liza.

AN ExTRAOKDINARY INVEN.
TION.

Another blow is in store for the Gas
Companies. The authorities of the
Trinity Honse, London, have been
making experiments with new gas
which has been brought under their
notice as being not only cheaper than
ordinary gas, but far more effective.
The new gas IS capable of 80 much
concentration that the quantity con-
tanned in a small buoy has kept light
burning for twenty-eight days with
sufficient brilliancy to show the posi-
tion of the buoy to passing ships. The
inventor declares that buoy of ordi'
nary size would contain sufficient gas
to keep q good light burning for nine
months, so that our buoys might show
lights at night, if gas was supplied to
them twice, in year and half. We
shall probably hear of this, as the
claims of the inventor are now being
subjected to practical tests.

Such a scene as is presented at the
great wild pigeon-roost, says the Jop-
lin (MissourD News, in the Indian
Territory, some fifty miles southwest
of this city, is very uncommon, and
has no equal any where in America.
The 'roost includes a space of about
forty acres in the timber, and when
they return to the roost in the evening
the trees are perfectly black with
them. The Indians, who own the
land, will not permit other parties to
take advantage of the game, but hire
men, who sit at the roots of the trees
and shoot and throw clubs all night,
and the next morning the ground is
literally covered with pigeons, and
they are gathered up, loaded into
wagons and hauled to this city, where
the Indians realize from ten to twenty
five cents per dozen for them. Dur
ing the day only now and then pig
con can be seen in the vicinity of the
roost, but they invariably return at
night. Those who own the land say
they have killed dozens of wagon
loads this fall, and still the number
does not seem to diminish in tho least,
nor does the nightly slaughter seem
TO intimidate them.

MORAL TALE BY LITTLE JOHN.

Little Johnny, the youthful contrib
utor Of the Argonaut, records this
moral tale: A preecher which had
been a wicked gamlar fore he was a
preecher he seed feller wich was a
gamlar too, and he sed, the preecher
did: "He jest play cards with this
pore mizable sinner, and win all his
munney, and wen he is busted may be
will listen to the divine trooth and be
saved" So they played and the prech-
cr he winned Oh the feller's mummy
evry cent, and then he sed: "Now see
how wicked you haye ben to loos yure
mummy, and your white and babys
haven't got no bred to eat And the
gamlar he said: That's so,' and he
bust out a cryin. Then the preecher
he sed: pore sinner, if you prom
mice me into yure onner to not play
cards again lie give it oil back, cos line
a preecher.' So the gamlar he was as
tonish, and he sed: 4 never see sech
a good man, prommice, yes in deed,
and heaven bless youP and he busted
out cryin again, the gamlar did. Then
the preecher he gave him back oil his
mummy, and that feller put it in his
pocket, and WHIPPED his eyes,and blode
his nose gratefie, and then he thot a
while, and pretty soon he cofed, and
he said to the preecher: Il feel nifty
mean takin back this hundred dollars
from a man wich has reserved me
from card playin, tell you what lie do,
you put me up other hundred agin
it and weel tossup for the pile, he'd OF

One of the Boston (Mass.) rsstau-
rants boasts of an Irish Munchsusen

ing served with q small lobster, ask
ed:

Faix, l believe they do be call'in
thin lubsters here, sur. We call 'em
crabs at home.'
'OhP said the diner, you have lob
sters in Ireland?'
$ Is it HOLSTERS! Begorrah, the creek
is full of 'em. Many a time have l
seen 'em when I've lepped over the
sthrames.'
'How long do Holsters grow in Ire
land?'
'Well,' said Mike, thoughtfully, 'to
spake widin bounds, sur, I'd say a
matter of five or six feet
sWhatI five or six feet? How do
they get around in those creeksr
sBedad, sur, the creeks in Ireland
are fifty or sixty feet wide,' said the
unabashed Mike.
But said the persistent inquirer,
you said you had seen them when
you were leaping over the streams, and
lObsters here live in the sea-
Deed / did sur. We're powerful
leppers in Ireland. As fur the say, sur,
I've seen it red with 'em.'
But look here, my fine fellow said
the guest, thinking he had cornered
the Hibernian at last, HOLSTERS are not
red until they are boiled
Don't know that 2 said Mike, re-
proachfully; but there are bilin'
springs in the ould country, an they
swim throo 'em an come out ready for
ye to crack open an ate; and Mike
walked off to wait upon the next guest,
leaving his interlocutor to digest the
lobster and the story.
