THE total number of national banks
at the close of the present fiscal year
will be about three thousand. Among
officials of the Treasury Department,
the steady growth ofthe national bank
ing system, in the face ofits threatened
dissolution, is one of the wonders of the
age. Unless the ingenuity of the fl
nanciers of the country shall enable
them to invent new system, it is easy
to see that the days of the national
banks are numbered, the national
bonds now outstanding with all be
called in in about seventeen years. OF
course. the holders Of the bonds need
not tender them when the call is is
sued, but the loss of the interest after
that time will prove strong incentive
for their surrender. The national
banks now hold about e-third of the
bonds outstanding as security for their
circulation. The number of banks or
gained during this fiscal year has been
less than last year, however, and it is
noticeable that the new banks are
smaller than those organized during
the last few years previous. Three
fourths of the new banks have capital
not exceeding 100000. Pittsburg has
more national banks in proportion to
her population than any other city in
the United States.

n FATAL LETTER.

The necessity of beng careful of
what one commits to paper is very
forcibly Illustrated in the case of Capt.
James Blackburn, of Kentucky, recent
ly appointed Internal Revenue Collec-
tor for one Of the Kentucky districts
AS is well-known the correspondence
of many prominent Confederates was
captured and is preserved among the
government archives at Washington.
Capt. Blackburn was this week plagued
by the untimely production of the fol-
lowing letter which for twenty-four
years lad lam unthought of, by its
writer, but which the President and his
Cabinet deemed a sufficient cause for
the Withdrawing of his commission
"I6iHeGoa, Ia., Oct. 2, 1S61.-My
Dear Wife: | have left you and our
children in the land of the despot, but
God grant that | may soon be able to
make the Union men of Kentucky feel
the edge of my knife. From this day
| hold every Union traitor as my enc
my, and from him l scorn to receive
quarter, and to him | will never grant
my soul in daath for they are towards
and Williams enough. Brother Henry
and arrived here without hindrance.
| have had chlls all the way, but |
hope to live to kill forty Yankees for
every chill that | ever had. | learn
that Hardce is still IN the Arkansas
lines, inactive, and if this proves true !
will tender my resignation and go i'm
mediately to Kentucky. l hope that
| may do my duty as a rebel and free
man. Since | have the Union men of
Kentucky. in my power | intend
to begin tie work of murder
in earnest, and if | ever spare
one of them may hell be my portion
| want to see Union blood flow deep
enough for my horse to swim in. Your
husband, JAMES BLACKBURN."
When that ''bloody" epistle was pen
ned, the gallant rebel little dreamed
how it would rise up against him in
judgment. What he wrote in guilty
passion he now has ample time
to reflect over and repent the folly of
having written.

From tie Waterloo Tribune.
We heard gentleman relate little
incident which occurred in the Office of
Frank Hatton, when Postmaster General
few days before the expiration of Mr..
Arthur's term. A Virginia postmaster
came in aud stated his case. He proposed
to resign, and have Frank appoint a
Democratic friend of his, who would
have the Office in his store aud let him
run it. Frank said, ''You are Repub-
lican?' Yes" "Iou propose to con-
tinue to support the partly "les. y

The weather this spring is remarka-
bic. Michigan has a snow storm, while
New Jersey and Indiana are visited by
heavy frosts. While the people of the
North and West are shivering with cold,
the heated term has come upon Florida
with clouds of mosquitoes. But cooler
than all is the political weather at Wash
iington. The spoils-seekers leave that
,city chilled to the marrow.

how far this administration will encour
age an extension of the national do

OF the whole yearly crops of this
country, about two-thirds is winter
wheat and one, third spring wheat. The
former Is much more valuable for mill
ing purposes, ard often commands a
premium of ten cents over the latter.
But if there is probability of short
age IN winter wheat it is always known
before the sowing of spring wheat has
begun, and the acreage is increased
accordingly. 1t is the relative quantity
of spring and winter wheat that regu-
lates the difference in the price of the
two commodities. 1t appears that al
present this difference is, comparatively
speaking, tritling, that there IS notmucf
winter wheat left on hand, and that the
prospects of the crop indicate the
probability of a shortage exceeding
I2o, 1000, 900 bushels. The consequence
is that this staple begins to command {
higher price and the difference between
spring No, and winter No. is thu
likely to be considerably widened.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has 4 way Of
conducting his Cabinet meetings that
is in perfect keeping with business hab.
its. 1t is said that he frequently raps
the members to order when they wan
der too far from the subject under dis
cussion, and calls their attention to the
fact that they coo't afford to spend all
day at cabinet meeting. One day
last week, after the President rad had
occasion to administer a litti of this
sort OF discipline, as Secretary Lamar
was passing down stairs i'll company
with a brother cabinet officer, the Miss
issippian remarked, with a twinkle in
his eye: "Our committee appears to
have a chairman this session"

LIE visit Of number Of nrOminer

i The visit of a number of prominent
lCubans to Washington during the past
few days has revived the old story that
an effort will be made before Congress
next winter to get the United States
government to purchase the Island of
Cuba. 1t will be remembered that the
Cuban population of Florida, and
Others in that state with identical bust
ness interests, gave their earnest and
hearty support to Mr.. Blaine during
Che last campaign, largely on account
Of their belief that he was in favor of
the annexation of Cuba. During the
last session of Congress considerable
correspondence passed between some
well known statesmen and the Spanish
authorities, and it was learned that
Spain could probably be induced to
Sell for a sum something like 500, ooo-
600 cash. Many New York capitalists
are interested in the scheme on account
of the commercial advantage they ex-
pect to gain from it, and among them
is the proprietor of one of the large
Flaily papers who has been to the trouble
20 keep correspondent in the West
Indies for year past to write letters
illustrating these advantages. The idea
has some friends among prominent
legislators, but it remains to be seen

The revival in the demand for war
literature is SO distinct that editors and
proprietors of nearly every description
of publication are offering good prices
to ex-soldiers and others for their ex-
periences in field and camp. Recent
contributions to magazines have seemed
to unsettle rather than settle points in
history treated by the writers. AS for
personal "reminiscences, the magma
ton seems to have supplied no small
part of what has been printed. Adj
miral Porter and Gen. Mcclellan ap
pear to have been most successful in
challenging contemporary recollection,
and even the official records of the
times am events on which they have
written. Representative Kelley is over
hauling the archieves Of the war to put
Gen. Mcclellan down on certain points
about which his recent paper in the
Century has peculiarly exasperated
him. When it comes out, Judge Kel-
ley's paper will be lively. Others, if
they make good their promises, will
also give the public some interesting
reading. The demand for war litera-
ture comes in the natural course Of
time. y generation must read up or
live in ignorance Of the events of the
great rebellion. Half Of the votes cast
at the Presidential election of 1854
were by men who were unknown when
the war began, or too young to re-
member much about it. A good his
tory of the war is yet to be written.

The situation in Riels rebellion is
very critical. The Canadian troops
now perceive that they have undertaken
a very serious task. The reports of the
Sighting come through Canadian chan
nels, and are made as favorable to the
troops as possible, yet to one who
reads between the lines it is evident
that the rebellion is more formidable
today than ever, and that the troops
of Middleton are in somewhat crit
cal position.
