AF1NANCIAL PROBLEM.

It is feared that a new danger OF
financial embarrassment has been
discovered in the fact that the cir
oulation Of about three hundred
national banks, which was outstand-
ing At the time of the renewal OF
charters, must be paid for before
the first Of next February. The law
in regard to the extension OF ma
tioual bank charters provides that
':the circulating notes Of any asso-
citation to extending the period OF
it's succession, which shall have
been issued to it prior to such e1-
tension, shall be redeemed at the
Treasury Of the United States,
and such notes, when redeemed,
shall be forwarded to the Comp
troller of the Currency and de-
stroyed, as now provided by law;
and at the end Of three years from
the date of the extension Of the
corporate existence of each bank,
the association SO extended shall
deposit money with the Treasurer
of United States sufficient to re-
deem the remainder of the circula-
ton which was outstanding at the
date of its extension" AS the
charters expired in February, 1883,
the limit within which this out
standing circulation must be re-
deemed will be in February, 1886,
ana it is estimated that the amount
now to be redeemed is about $5o,-
100000. 1t is feared that the ex-
traordinary demand for legal tend
ers which will of necessity be made
will render Ineffective the recent
arrangements with the New York
bankers for averting relapse to a
silver basis. The question OF a
gradual redemption is now being
considered by the Treasury De-
partment, but no definite plan has
vet been agreed upon:

The mastication of tobacco for
stimulating purposes is not SO lnjur-
ious, perhaps, as smoking. With a
little attention to simple rules man
OF phlegmd,ic temperament may
chew tobacco for eighty or ninety
years without serious results.
For chewing purposes the mildest
form of tobacco should be used The
GRAND known as pig tail should be
eschewed by persons OF sedentary
habits. 1t contains great deal OF
copperas and molasses, ,and this COM
bination only agrees with seafaring
persons or those who labor severely
III the open air.
OF all the tobaccos "Gravely" is
probably the best, though the Vir-
ginia natural leaf is quite popular
with connoisseurs. Fine cut should
be avoided. 1t contains a great deal
of nicotine, and is so prepared as to
over-stimulate the salivary glands
Chewers should avoid falling asleep
with cud in their mouth. In ex-
pectorating care should be taken not
to eiec. hydraulicly through the
teeth ami irrltate the gums,
After chewing steadily for two OF
three hours the mouth should be
cleansed. This prevents discolora-
ton of the teeth. No intelligent
tobacco chewer will take a quid inn
mediately after partaking of spring
onions.
These rules are few and simple
but if followed they cannot fail to be
of lasting benefit to every chewer.-

Husband and Wife.

Carp" in an interesting sketch
of the late John w. Garret, says OF
the extraordinary attachment be-
tween the famous railroader and his
wife:
John. w. Garrett had an iron
will, but his wife ruled him, al-
though she did tin such a way that
the old man never knew it. Dur
ing the forty years of their married
life the two never slept a night apart
and l think Mrs. CARROTS death
hastened that of her husband. For
some years back Mr.. Garrett had
been in bad health from overwork,
and the physicians had prescribed
that his meals should be regular,
and that business should not be
talked at the table. Mrs. Garrett
saw that these rules were carried out,
and whenever the lunch or dinner
time arrived, if Mr.. Garrett was in
the most important conversation on
business involving millions, with
guests whom the president would de-
light to honor, she would call them
to the table and in a gentle way
would admit of no refusal. Mr..
Garrett or bis friend might ask for
just one minute more, but the kind
old lady would reply in gentle tones:
These are Or rules" and if Mr..
Garrett would break out into some
business exclamation or suggestion,
Mrs. Garrett would at once object,
and the railroad president at the
head of the table would laughingly
call attention to the manner in
which he was domineered over, and
would begin to talk of other sub
iects. Mrs. Garrett was a plain,
motherly little woman, full of char
tiles and as thoroughly wrapped up
her husband as he was in her. She
was posted on much of his work,
and during her latter years he did
most of his work at home in his
library with several telegraph opera
tors about him. Many of his call
ers she would receive, and dismiss
them without their ever botaering
him. She was seldom absent from
his room even during the most i'm
portant conversations, and she en-
twlned herself so closely about ev.
cry fibre of the old mans nature
that when she died, about two years
ago, his machinery did not work
and he finally succumbed to the
loss

Killed by an Army of wasps.

William P. Thompson, farmer,
living two miles from North Branch
Creek, in Allegheny county, was
working in a corn field the other
day, when he noticed what he sup
posed to be bees swarming around
the stump of an old oak tree stand
ing in fence corner. He approach
ed, and rashly attempted to investi.
gate them by striking the stump
with his hoe. In an instant a whole
nest of wasps, probably 500 or 600
strong, attacked him. They settled
all over his head, and the man was
soon rushing frantically to the house
screaming for help. The wasps
clung to him with remarkable per-
sistency, and when he reached his
home his wife was compelled to beat
them off with a broom. He had been
stung in horrible manner. There
was scarcely u piece Of skin as big
as a penny on his bead. which had
not been pierced by the wasps'
stings. He had just had his hair
cut with clipper. and the wasps
found no difficulty in getting in
their work all over his scalp. One
OF them had settled in his left eye
and stung the eye-ball. In two
hours Thompson's head had swollen
to a monstrous size, his left eye pro-
truding, and he was a terrible spec
tacle. The man suffered terrible
agony until he expired. The most
singular feature of the case is that
the head has swollen considerably
since death. San Francisco Chroa-

Grant and Lincoln.
Erom the Lepaop rlmes Of Jolly ..

From the London Times of July -.
In the person of General Grant,
who died yesterday, after a period
of most painful suffering borne with
stoical fortitude and patience, the
Republic of the United States loses
its most conspicuous historical fg-
ure of the momentous era OF the
civil war. Lincoln has been en-
'shrined in the popular memory even
more by the tragic circumstances OF
his death than by his heroic SIM
plicity of character and his unswerv-
ing devotion to public duty. Sew
ard and Sumner were politicians
who rather influenced politicians
than swayed the masses.
But, with all his faults, Grant
loomed larger in the peoples eye
than any of his rivals or coevals.
He united the claims OF the success
ful commander in the field to those
of the chief magistrate twice chosen
/ bv the voice of the nation to sit IN
the seat of Washington. If his ma
ture was OF metal of far more mix
ed alloy than that of the founder OF
the Republic, as even General
Grants warmest admirers must ad-
nit, it may be fairly pleaded that
in this he was only the creature OF
his time. He was born and bred in
a society which had descended rap
| idly from the high level of early re-
publican purity, and his mature
training was not such as to maintain
lofty standard of political morals.
But, if Grants faults were those
of his age and country, his military
qualities, on which the fortunes Of
the United States at the most criti-
cal moment depended, were his own
Others. both on the Federal and
Confederate sides, were undoubted-
lily at least his eqauls in strategical
ability. His campaigns had not thi
fascination of Sherman's famou:
march or Stonewall Jackson's Crom
wellian achievements, nor was his
genius as a commander displayed
with the dignitied and noble seren'
Iity, undisturbed in defect as in vic
tory, which marked the career o
his great antagonist, Lee. But II
energy, in resolution and in iron
tenacity of purpose Grant was nev-
er surpassed, and those qualities h'
brought into exercise at more thar
one crisis when the Unionist cause
was in danger of moral enfeeble
ment and political decomposition

sibilities of life in the American Re
