In previous issue we had occasion
to call attention TO THE ROMANCE
AND TRAGEDY or PIONEER LIFE pub
lished by Jones Brothers & Co., St.

work gave proof OF sterling merit. An
examination Of the complete book has
strengthened ami heightened our for
meF conviction, and we say, without
hesitancy, that the author has made
the public his debtor for one Of the
most readable, entertaining, aud i'll
stFuetlve volumes which have been
given forth ia the last decade. This
book Is empiRlically historical The
matter has been gathered with special
care as Ia authenticity, and IL has

The weekly bank statement published yesterday
shows loss from the figures of the preceding state
ment of 50, S443 800 cash-S2 4O3 200 in specie and
SI41, 100 in legal tenders A week ago estimated
the banks actual holdings OF specie at 100000
less than the sum reported by the state
ment of that date. The Sub-Treasury during
the week ended Friday gained from the banks
$I.S19 76S coin, but 1t was SO distributed as to
count in the bank averages as loss OF only
81 400 900: that sum tSl 400 0OO), together with
the 1920 600 estimated as the shortage from the
preceding statement. accounts for $2,32OO OF the
loss in specie shown by yesterdays statement, and,
as there were no known movements of specie to or
from the interior during the week, shows that the
banks on FRIDAY evening held about SiOO,OoO less
specie than is reported the average for the week
The reported loss of SAL, 100 in LEGAL tenders IS
the resulting average of a small shortage from the
preceding statement and of movements to the IN
terror during the week and indicates a shortage now
Of about 100000 from Yesterdays hgures ior
legal tenders. The further expansion of 81 100000
IN loans is due to the operations Of the preceding
week rather than to hose of last week and the re-
ported decrease in posts being $66500O smaller
than he sum of decrease which the other changes
