MONEY IN MoNTREAL.-In Montreal
the City and District Savings Bank
has issued circular to the depositors
informing them that on account of the
unprecedentedly large amount on de-
post in the bank, and the difficulty in
loaning money on proper security, no
interest will be paid on deposits over
$4,000. The Bank of Montreal, it is
understood, will issue similar circu-
lar, refusing interest on deposits ex-
ceeding So, 900. Money is very abund
ant. Safe investments are at a high
premium, and Montreal Bank stock is
once more selling at above 200, with
more buyers than sellers. The Cana
dian Pacific Railway has paid the
amount of its indebtedness to the
Bank of Montreal, which swells the
surplus of idle money.

The Supreme Court of Michigan has

of gambling. A fellow was convicted
in one of the lower courts of the State
on the charge of larceny, the particu-

unsophisticated countryman out of
sum of money at a game OF cards.
His counsel objected to the classified
ton of the crime as larceny, and the
case went up to the Supreme Court for
decision. 1t was delivered in these
words: ''We do not think it profitable
to draw over-nice metaphysical dis
tinctions to save thieves from punish
ment. If rogues conspire to get away
a mans money by such tricks as those
which are played here it is not going

parade under Gen. W. 6. Ward was
occupied by the Eleventh Regiment,
Col. Stewart commanding. All of these
commands marched with arms reversed.
The catafalque was draped with black
broadcloth, and trimmed with heavy
fringes. Above the catafalque and over
the casket there was q black canopy,
supported by four dark mahogany posts,
deliberately carved and carefully finished.

Twenty-four black horses drew the
funeral car. Each horse, led by a
colored groom. The principal one of
these grooms was Hawkins, the White
House coachman. He is a coal-black
giant. The General took him as his
driver during Johnson's Administration
while in charge of the War Department.
Then he went to the White House with
the General and has since remained
there. He was very devoted to his
benefactor, and wrote last week to Gen
eral Porter, asking that he might drive
the dear General for the last time at his
funeral.

The statement of Worth, the Par
isian dress maker, that prices of dress
es are ridiculously overstated, occa-
sions the revelation of a New York
dress maker as to the way American
women maintain reputation for for
eign made dresses. They buy a
Worth dress at a high price, though
not 80 high as they claim in many
cases, and then they hire an Ameri-
can dress-maker to fashion others af-
ter it at nominal figures. He adds {:
"Out of the American trade Paris
makes its great profits. Americans
are charged more than any other ma
ton because of their we'll known de-
sire for imported clothes" Ameri-
cans hear deal of that talk, but they
are not monopclists in the extrava-
giant line. We believe it is said, for
example, that only "kings, Ameri-
cans and FOOLS Fitiie first-elass on the
continental railroads" and it is fact
that some Americans are not very
particular about their company.
