About Money.

A New York dispatch OF Dec. "a, has
the following: Owing to the stringency in
the money market, bankers are reluctant to
buy bills of exchange which are drafts upon
shipments OF breadstuf1s from the West to
Europe. Strong representations have been
made to the secretary Of the treasury to in
duce him to make, as former secretaries have
done, advances upon English gold and bullion
deposited by bankers in the assay office. The
amount now deposited there is Sll000O0O
and the hope is express ed that the secretary,
who has heretofore declined to make the ad-
vances desired, will now accede to the request
of the bankers, which will, by relieving the
stringency Of the money market, prevent
large accumulations of grain and induce Q
steady and regu lar movement in breadstufs,

A dispatch from Chicago Of Dec. "a,
says: Chas a. Reed, a well known attorney,
was committed TO- Jail this afternoon by Judge
Knickerbocker, Of the probate court, on an
attachment issued last week for failure to
render an account as guardian in the Irwin
estate, this delinquency constituting a fragrant
case of contempt Of court. Judge Wallace,
attorney for the heirs, says Mr.. Reed is prob
ably deficient $4,000 to $4,000 in his ac-
counts with the estate. Judge Anthony, OF
the superior court, tonight granted writ OF
habeas corpus, upon which Reed was released
by giving the required bail. The ease excites
much interest, Oh account of the prominence

their regret at the line their leaders have
pursued. Whitbros, one Of the most respect
ed liberals in the house of commons, speaking
at Bedford last evening, described wildly the
reign of terror, that had left no honest calling
safe in a large part of Ireland and avowed HE
feeling that the time had come when the
government might be compelled to use
coercion.

Too Much ENTERPRISE.

An eagle, flying down from his eyrie
on lofty rock, seized lamb and car
ried him aloft in his talons. A jackdaw,
witnessing the capture of the lamb, was
stirred with envy, and said to himself
]" Why, that looks to be as easy as start
ing a big newspaper" and he deter
mined to emulate the strength and fight
of the eagle. He few around with a
great whirr Of his wings, and finally
settled upon q large ram, with the IN
tention Of carrying him off, anyhow;
but, his claws becoming entangled IN
the fleece, he was not able to release
himself, although he futtered with his
wings as much as he could. The shep-
herd, seeing what had happened, ran
up and caught him, and, clipping his
wings, took him home for the children
to play with. On their asking, Father,
what kind Of bird is this?" he re-
piled, g TO my certain knowledge he is
a daw: but he viii have it that he is an
eagle.
s. This fable teaches a great many
things, and, among others, that starting
a big newspaper is an undertaking that
