WHEN the Government can borrow

loan, the rates the City of Gin
cinnati is paying on the Southern
Railroad and other bonds seems
exorbitant. St. Louis managed to re-
fund the other day half a million dol
lars Of her six and seven per cent. bonds
at slight premium above par, although
the rate of interest was five per cent.
The City of Atlanta, Ga, has done as
well, and Hartford, Conn.,, has foated
some of her four per cent. bonds above par,
as also has the City of Detroit. Chicago
is moving towards refunding upwards
Of 81 10000 Of per cents into 8's. and
has offered to take these at par. Phila-
delphia has, we believe, been equally
happy. As our Southern Railroad Trus-
tees are about seeking permission to bor-
row another million for the completion
Of their great work, it may not perhaps be
impertinent to suggest that the credit of
Cincinnati ought to be as good as that of
the cities above named, and that lower
rate of interest be offered on such of our
bonds that may, be hereafter placed upon
The market.

THE NEXT EXPOSITION.

1t having now been decided to hold an
Exposition the coming fall in this city it
IS not too soon to consider some of the
preliminary arrangements looking to the
rendering Of this as interesting and at
tractive in certain departments as prac-
ticable. In the matter of horticulture
especially the plans should be early ma
tured and the views of the leading ex-
hibit6rs had, as collections of
plants can not be conjured
nto existence in a day, nor will they
,.e offered at all unless suitable accommo-
,lations shall be provided for their exhi-
bition and care when exhibited. The
space in Horticultural Hall Is at present
arranged is totally inadequate, and there
ought to be, and might be provision made
.or this department over in Washington
Park, and display in this line such al
would attract exhibits from most Of oul
sixty-fye resident florists not only
but specialties from leading horticultur
lists East that would render our coming

whole, but we may single out some fea-
ture of it that appeals to the masses of
the people and make it the leading at
traction of the year. The following year
the programme might give prominence to
another department, and thus our Expo
silion would possess perennial freshness
and variety that the management have
already felt it will be difficult to main
tain from year to year. The space in
Washington Park could accommodate a
gigantic greenhouse or palace of crystal
and the necessary contiguous land for
geometric and ornamental plantations
that would prove most effective popu-
lar educator and afford an impetus to
horticulture as well, without in any
manner encroaching upon its free use to
the people as resort in hot
weather. Two objects might thus be at
tanned. Our ci,y and its exposition
would be visited and talked Of by peo.
pie from every State in the Union and a
struggling local industry for which this
region is so adapted lifted into national
importance and celebrity.
Gentlemen of the Committee, we ask
of you a respectful consideration of this
SUBJECT at the earliest possible moment

SOMETHING WANTED.

Afterall the objections that were raised
to the fractional currency that fer about
a dozen years superseded silver change
its withdrawal has proved to be an incon-
venience to the people of this country.
1t was very handy for mailing small re-
mittances and for this purpose silver
coin is an awkward substitute and postal
orders are, in case of small transactions,
almost unavoidable. This state of things
has led to the extensive use of postage
stamps in payment of small sums or frac-
tional amounts for newspaper subscription
or advertisements, books, ETC., and many
branches of business are embarrassed by
the quantities of this kind of currency
which are sent them by their customers.
This condition of things has started up a
class of dealers in postage stamps, in the
larger cities, who buy them up at dis
count of from 8 to 10 per cent. and make
a fine profit out of the business. One
firm of brokers in New York last week
bought $500 worth Of stamps from a
newspaper Office, and the same amount
from a billiard firm. This will give some
idea of the extent of the business.
Apart from the Inconvenience attend
ing this state of things, the establish
ment Of these postage stamp dealers has
opened the gate to system of petty pill
fering of stamps by merchants clerks and
employees, for which there is at present
no remedy. Business men who are com.
PEELED to use large quantity find that
they meet with great losses in this way
The stolen stamps can be very easily con
verted into cash at the usual discount
and with scarcely the possibility of de-
lection. There seems to be but one way
to break up this system of pilfering. A
prominent banker in New York has ap.
piled to the Government to be allowed
to perforate the stamps with the initials
of the house he represents. The principle
could be applied by all parties vino use
any considerable quantities. The per
foration could be made SO fine as not tt
injure the stamp, but would conclusive
ly show to any one to whom they wer
offered for sale that they had been stolen
Some such plan will probably b
adopted by the Post-office department
In the meantime, the people at larg
would be glad to sec some system o
postal or fractional paper currenc,
adopted, not as substitute for silve
change, but as subsidiary to it.
