SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
Tho Confederate Treasury.

The New Orleans Picagas1ae's s Wash
ington correspondent furnishes the follow
ing statement by H. M. Clark, of Carks-
vile, Tenn, who was appointed acting
Treasurer Of the Confederacy at Washing
ton, Ga, where the entire treasury was
turned over to him: t ss -
81 paid off the naval brigade through Post
master Wheeless, of Nashville; paid off the
troops who were near us through the proper
accredited officers; burnt millions of bonds
and currency in the presence of Secretary
heagan and Gen. J. G.. breckenridge, Secre-
tary OF War. and turned over to the Virginia
bank officers the specie which belonged to
the virginia banks, and which they had never
been able to obtain from the treasury for
want of the proper officers to deliver it. One
OF my last acts was to turn over to Major
Moses, A. G. s., about S45, 900 in silver, mainly
bullion, which the President had ordered to
be used in furnishing subsistence to
the paroled soldiers who were passing
through to tl&ntr homes, thus relieving them
and the distressed country through which
they were passing. i took receipts for all my
payments, and with the whole treasury dis
bursed, except insignificant sum. left
Washington about IL O'Clock at night, with
small escort given us by Gen Duke, which
we shortly dismissed and Joined the Presi-
dents party the next morning about day
break. Then l again took charge of my train,
and on the morning OF the 9Th May, Presi-
dent Davis, having heard of danger to his
family who were travelling some distance
ahead, from marauders in search of horses,
decided to take his staff and few attendants
and join them, the train to proceed to Flori-
da, the intention, as understood, being then
to take the boats to Cuba and from there to
the Trans Mississippi Department.. AS was
more likely to be captured with the
train than the mounted party, in order
to provide means for the transportation to
Cuba, I called the staff together and paid Col.
+. r. Lubbock, A. d. c., former Governor of
Texas; Col VIM. Preston johnson, A. ID. G.;
Col. John Taylor Wood, A. d. c., and a gentle.
man whose name forget, but naval officer,
each 81 800 in English sovereigns, to be used in
buying boats, or other expenses, and took
their receipts in due form. Having a bag
which still contained about $500, placed it
in the saddlebags of Mr.. Reagan.
He objected, saying that he was al
ready weighted, having $1,000 of his
private funds brought from Richmond; but
upon my urging that the party might need it,
he let it remain. President Davis, to the best
of my knowledge, had only some fifty dollars,
perhaps less, of specie and Confederate cur
rency-hs private funds. The whole Treasu-
ry passed through my hands as Acting Treas
urer. The President never saw the Treasury,
nor my disbursements of any part of it, He
could only have received any of it through
me. l did not offer to pay him anything, and
he would not have received it if had"

STAYING OF a Run.

.#4H. #
In times of severe panic people have
been known to refuse Bank of England
notes and prefer local notes. In country
districts of Scotland. the old one-pound
notes We're greatly preferred to sover-
eigns. 1t is said that when there was a
run upon the Bank of England in 1765
the device was resorted to of paying the
country people in shillings and six
pences. One acute Manchester firm
painted all their premises profusely, and
many dapper gentlemen were deferred
from approaching the counter. A story
is told Of Cunliffe Brooks Bank. When
there was an impetuous and unreasona-
BILE rush for gold, Mr.. Brook obtained a
number of sacks of meal, opened them
at the top, put good thick layer of coin
upon the contents, then placed them an
tied whe the glittering coins would be
manifest to all observers. One bank
procured number of people as confed-
crates to whom they paid gold; these
confederates then slipped round again
to back door and refunded the gold,
and thus the effect of a stage army was
produced. At another bank the Chief
Cashier himself examined every note
with the most searching scrutiny, hold
ing it up to the light, testing the sigma.
ture, and making believe that, on ac-
count of alarm as to forgery, there was
need of the most scrupulouS care. When
he had completed his pretended exam
ination he handed the note to one OF
his subordinates very deliberately, with,
in slow and measured terms: "You
may pay it." Other plans were to pay
the money very languidly, counting it
twice over, SO as to be sure the sum was
right, and to give sovereign short, so
that the customer should complain and
the counting have to be done over again.
At one of the banks peck measures in
verted were placed in the window facing
the street, a pile of gold upon the top,
after the manner of the fruit exposed to
sale at street corners in the summer.
At another the coin was heated in shov-
els over the fire in the parlor behind
and handed out as s'newn at a tempera-
ture of 800 deg. Fahrenheit The clerk
in charge, accommodating his phrase
ology to the occasion, cried out loudly
every half-hour: 'sNow, Jim, do be
gettin' on with them sovereigns; folks
is waitin' for their money" '1Coming,
sir, coming, Twas the ready reply, and
the ''folkn thought the power of pro-
duction boundless. II is always the
simple minded and the uninformed who
constitute on such occasions the chief
portion Of the throng, just as the people
who go to extremes are the half-educa-
ted ones. The crowd were easily per-
suaded-the proof that all was right
was burning their fingers.-Lontlop So.

kissing Under the Mistletoe.

A writer in the London DaiLY Tcze,
graph, conversing with q street-vender
of initiated holly in Christmas week,
asked him whether the mistletoe, of
which a plentiful supply was in the mar
ket, was ever sold with artificial berries.
ssThere's a lot of rubbish talked about
mistletoe," J" said he; sand dare say it s
very pretty to read about it in Christ
mas tales and to see it in Christmas pic
lures, but poor people don't care any
thing about it. It's all very well, per-
haps, among the well-to-do sort of peo-
Pile, who can afford to invite old and
young to all manner of gay goings-on,
but among them that are always work
ing and driving for a living, they got
something else to think about when they
get chance of a bit Of a jollification. y
But even among the humblest Of the
laboring classes the young fellows have
sweethearts, and at their Christmas par
ties kissing under the mistletoe is surely
part of the fun. ''Well, that's where it
is, perhaps" returned the old fellow,
after a few moments reflection, .'the
young fellows don't see the fun of it..
They do their counting steadfast and
with hearty will, just in manner of
speaking as they set about the work they
get living by. And when a young
fellow tacks on to young gal, meaning
to marry her, he doesn't usually see the
force of being so very polite as to let
another young fellow kiss her just be-
cause he's gotta sprig of mistletoe in his
hand or catches her passing under bit
of it hung up. It might go down in
company where they practices genteel
Manners said Bills father, "but in
homely circles like them round about
the New Cut and Lambeth Walk, q
Young fellow who tried it on-would most
likely get his head punched, which, of
course, would make disturbance and
spoil the harmony. No, sir, it isn't in
poor neighborhoods that mistletoe is
much sought after. When there's a
glut of it, and you can buy good-sized
bush for about sixpence, it will sell in
the Cut and such market places, but
there isn't hundredth part the banker
ing after it among poor people there is
for holly ~

"A stronger argument in favor of the

silk-worms' eggs, each card containing
$4,000 eggs. The total value of the eggs
was S25O,O0O. They came from Japan ~
and were en- route for Milan. Now the
eggs raised in this country are of as
good quality as those thus conveyed at
such enormous outlay Of money and
trouble around three-quarters of the
globe. If it pays the Italian middlemen
to 90 to Japan, buy the eggs and trans
port them across this continent and two
oceans to Italy, it would surely pay the
American farmers daughter to raise
the eggs and sell them in New jersey
