CHASTITY phrases under this head are
reminders of the GreenSackers'
dread of resumption, lest all the
holders of greenbscks N the United
States would go at once and demand
the gold on the lat day of January,
1870.
That the national banks are re.
CURED to keep rs per cent. or any
other per cent. of circulation on
hand for purposes of redemption is
q mistake. They have to keep tive
per cert on deposit in the U. S.
treasury, but the law of Jane 20,
1874, provides that they "shall not
hereafter be required to keep on
hand any amount of money what
ever, by reason of the amount of
their respective circulations. They
have to keep on hand per cent. Of
deposits, and they are permitted to
count the 5 per cent. in the U. S.
treasury as part OF this reserve.
Whether this be much or little
would have no effect on circulation.
The HERALD has never called fer
issues of greenbacks that would in-
crease the debt.
On the whole, we do not see that
there is any difference between
estate Banker" and the HERALD, for
he has not undertaken defence of
the double interest, and where we
differ on facts the Department rec.
ords will bring us together. We

Gould's Conservatory Burned

IRvINGToN, N. Y, Dec. 1.-THE
greenhouse of Jay Gould, which
was destroyed by fire this morning,
was the largest in the country, and
was filled with the rarest and most

Many OF them were imported at
great expense, and some were not
duplicated in the United States.
The collection of tropical plants
alone could not be equalled in this
latitude. There were other plan is

oil parts of the world, and the cost
of importation alone was sufficient
to maintain an averaged-sized green
house for years.

entire force of men, and they con-

water was frozen and their efforts
were useless. The flames, which
were famed by high wind, swept
through the mammoth structure,
licking up everything. In half an
hour from the time the fire was first
discovered, the beautiful structure
was mass of ruins.
The buiidirg was 480 feet long
and constructed in the Moorish
style. The entire loss is sl50,000,
upon which there is no insurance.
The conservatory was only lit

The beauties of the divorce traffic
are brought out by the following
case, reported from Chicago: The
Superior court had before it case
OF en'i1us complications. Some
time ago William A Sloan married
a woman in Ohio. He moved to
Iowa and there obtained divorce
through Chicago divorce lawyer,
and upon the same day married
another woman in Iowa. The courts
of the latter State declared the d.
vorce proceedings illegal and the
second marriage void. To-day the
Chicago court held that the divorce
was valid according to the laws of
Illinois. Il is, therefore, illegal for
Sloan to live with either wife, al
though married to both. However,
notwithstanding he has children by
both, be might legally live with his
Ohio wife 10 Iowa, and with his
Iowa wife 10 Illinois, but could not
live with the Ohio wife in Illinois,
nor with the Iowa wife 10 Iowa.
