New YORK, March 9.-The Times prints
Kinds statement under the head of "Glar-
ing Frauds Exposed" and says in a col
umn of editorial: Like the River and
Harbor job, the Star Route job has so
many friends in Congress that the fumsi-
est OF excuses has suficed to cover up
what is. to use the mildest form, gross eI-
t~ravagance in the postal service. These
extravagances have caused q large def
cheney in the appropriation for the post
offices and ~postroads, and have. neyerthe-
less, been sanctioned by Congress. Brady
has been a persistent lobbyist whenever
any attempt has been made to curtail the
| expenses of this business, and Congress
men have been found ready to believe that
q mail service which was let for S12. 600,
should be increased to S136, 900 a year for
the good Of the public. Now that . prac-
teal and active man is at the head OF the
Postofice Department we may be certain
that the gross abuses which have fiourished
under Brady's management will cease to
exist. The Tribune PUSHES to Brady's de-
Tense, and throws mud at Kinds.

Mayor Howell presided. and among the
Presidents were Judges Gilbert and Pratt,
several Congressman, several Protestant
and Catholic clergymen, besides Aldermen
and others. A series of resolutions were
adopted condemning the action OF the
British Government and Parliament to-
ward the people of Ireland, and expressing
sympathy with Parnell and Dayitt. They
also expressed the wish that the Beers in
Africa would be victorious over the British
troops. Letters from Wendell Phillips,
ex-Governors Seymour and Tilden, Gen
erals Hancock and Mcclellan, and many
other prominent men were read, approving
the objects OF the meeting and regretting
their inability to be present. Addresses
on the condition of affairs in Ireland were
delivered by Rev. A. M. Gallagher, pastor
Of the Hanson Place Baptist Church,

Banks.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-At the Cabinet
meeting held yesterday, the time was
almost entirely devoted to the discussion
of the question whether or not the Ma
tional Banks shall be permitted to substi-
tute bonds for legal tenders deposited by
them with the Treasury for the purpose Of
Withdrawing their circulation. The i'm
portance Of a correct decision in the mat
ter was recognized, and with a view Of
securing the fullest information, that
further consideration Of the question was
postponed until the next meeting Of the
Cabinet. Meanwhile the Comptroller Of
Currency and the Treasurer will be called
upon to submit their respective views and
all the facts bearing upon the case. The
weight Of opinion at the meeting yester-
day inclined to the view that the whole
matter hinged upon the question of the
ruling or departmental regulation, rather
than of law, and that the decision should
be such as would least injuriously affect
the financial and business interests of the
country. 1t was suggested that q decision
against immediately restoring to circula-
ton the legal tenders which had been de-
posted, would operate as a serious
contraction Of the currency for some
W Sohcy anu CnuSo u To-
newal of the stringency and uncer-
tainty experienced a few days since.
While, to allow the banks to substitute
bonds and withdraw their legal tenders,
would at once restore confidence, relieve
uncertainty, and prove, as nothing in the
law prohibits, the easier and readiest solu-
ton Of the difficulty. On the other hand
1t was suggested that such a decision would
be opposed to former precedents and rul-
ings, and would afford an opportunity to
the banks to initiate or contract their cir
c~ulation at will, or to suit their supposed
interests. While to compel them to resort
to the ordinary means OF restoring the
former volume OF their circulation, would
involve at most but a short delay, and
could not cause any serious inconvenience
or alarm in business circles. In view Of
the fact that the Treasury Department Is
prepared to begin the printing and reissue
OF notes from day to day, Immediately
upon receipt Of application from the banks,
the issue Of the entire amount could
probably be completed within three weeks.

Frank Chanrrau,s Failure.

Sothern's present serious illness calls to
F." Dundreary" and his oft-made assertion,
that said comedian owed his popularity
chiefly to the advertisement resulting from
his practical jokes. While playing his last
engagement in the city, Chanfrau was dis
gusted at the smallness of his house, and de-
termined to perpetrate some SOthernisb oddity
that would set the papers talking about him,
for Frank possesses one of those abnormally
frugal minds not uncommon in rich actors,
which fully appreciates the economy of free
advertising.
One evening, after his performance, Chan

LOVE is ENOUGH

Love is enough. Let us not seek for gold.
Wealth breeds false aims and pride and selAshness
In those serene Arcadian days OF old
Men gave no thought to princely homes aud dress.
The gods who dwelt on fair oiympla's height
Lived only for dear love aud loves delight.
Love Is enough.
Love is enough. Why should we care for fameS
Ambition Is a most unpleasant guest;
1t lures us with the glory OF a name
Far from the happy haunts Of peace and rest
Let us stay here In this secluded place
Made beautiful by loves endearng grace
Love is enough.
Love IL enough. Why should we strive for powerY
1t brings men only envy and distrust.
The poor worlds homage pleases but an hour,
And earthly honors vanish in the dust
The grandest lives are ofttimes desolate;
Let me DO loved, and let who will be great
Love is enough.
Love is enough. Why should we ask for more?
What greater gift have gods voucbsafcd to men9
What better boon OF all their precious store
Than our fond hearts that love and love againS
Old love may die; new love Is Just as sweet;
And life is fair and all the world complete;
Love Is enough

Jacks description of the rescue was real
work of art.
"No, no, Z" cried the Major, blushing to
the roots of his hair. Indeed, twas nothing.

"Mr, Geoghaghan, " said the Bishop with
tears OF emotion on his cheeks, "you must
not stand moment in your wet clothes.
Come with me.
The Major followed obediently. Vivian
and Julia had heard the tale in common with
the rest of the household. BY some instinct
peculiar to the sex they retired together.
Vivian flew to Julia's arms and kissed her
cheek.
"Indeed," said Julia, "he is a noble
fellow |"
" He is as brave as he is handsome, " said
the beautiful Vivian, as a sympathetic
tear coursed toward one corner of her charm
ing mouth.
Ugly Phil Durgan knew not of this NOV
ing scene, and was too stupid to divine it.
But there had never been any love lost be-
tween himself and the Major.
What right has the blagyard here, "
queried Phil to himself, "pokin' his nose

Our Public Schools,

To the Editor Of the Mexico Ledger.
Mexico, Mo-, January lit is
said. many of our taxpayers are
complaining because of 'sthe enor.
nous sums" gathered by the tax
collector for school purposes. That
everyone, and especially those who
don't read the annual reports, may
know what his money in this direc-
ton is expended for, it will be nec-
essary to give a few facts connected
with the history of the bonded debt.
One-fonrth of the revenue now being
collected is to meet the bonds falling
due April LIST, with interest. An ex-
animation of the school records shows
that at a meeting of the Bard of
Education Jan. 22d, 1873, plans
and specifications were ordered drawn
for 8 building, the cost not to exec. d
$40, 900; and, at a subsequent meet
ing July 2lst, bonds to the amount
Of $4,000 were ordered issued on
the credit of the district. At about
the same time a floating debt OF $4,-
600 to $4,000 vas made. The bonds
were sold for 80 cents on the 500, to
Messrs. Bridger, Beach & Co., of
st. Louis. This, with the debt named,
all went to pay for the school build
ing, then in process Of erection since
which time the levy for bonded in
dehtadness has heen "a hiuh 40 IN
cents on the 500, and down as low
as rs cents. The board that created
this debt, endorsed by the majority
of the voters, was a good one. Mr..
Lewis Hord, president, and William
Harper, secretary ; and, to their credit
the money was invested in substantial
improvements. Our levy for school
purposes for the past sever or eight
years, has been as follows:
