THE National Tribune, the well-known
Il. A. r. organ, in its last issue roundly
uenounces the administration for the pol
icy which is now being pursued by the
secretary of the treasury of allowing the
holders of bonds to deposit the same in
the treasury and receive loan equal to
10 per cent. above their face value IN
currency from the treasury vaults. That
is, bank may deposit 81 ,0O0, 900 in bonds,
upon which the government is paying il
$40,0 900 interest annually, and receive
from the treasury loan. without inter
est, of 81 100, 600 of cash, which 1t imme-
diately loans out tD its customers at
from to8 per cent. per annum. 1t is
very easy for the banks to average 6per
cent. Oh these loans which makes them
SIS 600 year. This added TO the SI0,-
600 they receive for interest on the bonds
makes total of 100000 net yearly
profit on an investment of 81 ,000,0 900.
The only excuse for this magnanimous
procedure on the part of the treasury
department is that it is good way to
get some of the surplus into circulation.
The people are of the opinion that it is
more costly than the circumstances war
rant, and believe with the Tribune that
this S2,OO0,O0O of interest which the gov
eminent is paying to keep It's money in
circulation could be more properly used
in pensioning some of the well.deserv-
ing veterans who are to be found in all
parts ofthe country.

THE case Of the Burlington TO compel
the Wabash road to accept the latier's
freight, has virtually been thrown out
of court bv the expression OF the Wa
bash of its willingness TO comply with
the demand. Judge Gresham virtually
says there is no cause for action aud
will probably render no decision upon
the matter. II is unfortunate that the
matter has ended thus as the question
was an Important one and decision
would have been some guide for action
in other cases which are likely to come
up. Between the strikers, the inter-
state law and the courts the Burlington
is not having very lovely time of It,
and unless the road is in the independ-
ent position regarding its ability to do
business which it claims, the trouble
must soon end in an agreement with it's
old men and an end of the strike.

GROUP OF THE EXCHANGED PRISONERS.
weary distance. Two or three had to be
almost wholly carried, but the burden was
cheerfully endured, upborne as we all
were on the wings of hope and exultation.
Seated in comparatively comfortable
cars, with no ropes or irons upon us, and
but a weak guard, and with deep peace
and content in our hearts, we glided out of
the rebel capitalize see it no more till all
that had belonged to rebel power had
passed away Like the baseless fabric of
vision, and left not wrack behind" The
unwonted light dazzled our eyes. The
motion of the cars was an intoXication.
This was happiness indeed. The thoughts
and visions of the night were lived over
again in scarcely less bright waking
dreams. tried to look at the country
through which we were passing, but my
preoccupation was so great that / could
scarcely see it at all.
Petersburg was reached with no notable
incident; then after but a short detention
we moved on toward City Point. As the
train passed around a curve about IL
O'Clock we saw very large steamboat in
the river; we had seen none such since we
left our own Ohio. But there was some
thing still better than the boat. Waving
over it in the morning breeze was the
"Flag of the free" I seized the comrade
next me and shouted, "Hurrah, boys;
hurrahi there's our flagr' They needed
no prompting; indeed some in the forward
cars had seen it sooner than had. Cheer
after cheer went up from the whole train;
some of the guards were disconnected at
our yehemence and said tStoD that noise
there's no use in making such a FUSS"
but we did not stop. This was the first
time we had seen that banner for eleven
long months, and it meant to us life,
home, freedom, country-everything
which men love; and tears and shouts
intermingled till we drew up at the station
but short distance from the truce boat

of prisoners, $50 in number, who did not

whatever. In fact, was dazed almost
equally by the brightness of open daylight
and by the happy coming Of this long ex-
pected day. 1 could not, however, help
being struck by the contrast between the
sets of prisoners. Those on the Confed-
crate side looked strong and hearty; their
clothing was whole, neat and clean; but
on our side all the number were in the
last extremity of raggednesS, dirt and
emaciation. have totally forgotten
whether any breakfast was given US that
morning or not-a matter of small mo-
ment when we had been obliged to starve
through so many longer journeys.
While the wrangling over details was
still going on, without, as far as we could
see, any prospect of termination, the order
was suddenly given us to go on board"
Most promptly it was obeyed. 1t meant a
great deal for us to be actually under the
Stars and Stripes once more But not till
the boat cast loose and swung into the
stream did we count ourselves truly out
of Confederate hands.
Then, too, the hearty welcome with
which we were greeted; the good cheer, SO
different from our miserable prison fare;
and the kind faces smiling all around,
showed in living colors that we were free
men again.
In regard to food, the great difficulty
now was one we had not encountered for a
year past-that of over eatingl A years
famine had made us terribly hungry, and
we received cautions ON this point which
were not unneedful. Nothing in the
rations were more enjoyed than the tin
cup of good coffee which was given to us
all-genuine coffee was something which
we had not tasted inside the rebel lines
and | am not certain that l have found
any as good since! No place on the boat
seemed more homelike than the engine
room, where l sat and ate slowly for a
long time. The working of the strong
machinery which seemed impelling us
lovingly hOmeward was about as much
company as | wanted for the time
Down the river we went in a delirious
dream of rapturel We were scarcely
conscious of passing events. Probably
no emotion on earth has greater sweep and
intensity than the wild throbbing SEN
sations that rush thick and fast through
the bosom of the liberated captive.

THE editor of the ReUietU rambles
through an entire column pretending to
discuss the matter ofputting llnseed and
linseed oil upon the free list, but after
the reader has waded through it all he
is III greater doubt as to the views of the
writer than he was before. Instead of
boldly denodncing the attempt To de-
moralize one of the most important in
dustries the city has the entire article is
half-hearted straddle of the question.
He is forced to admit that the present
tariff is benefit to the farmers of this
vicinity who raise fax and that if it
were removed they would have to give
up one Of their profitable crops. But
he thinks this would not be bad thing,
anyway, as the raising of flax is said to
be demoralizing to land upon which it is
raised. AS to the manufacture of lin
seed oil and oil cake, he says labor cuts
but small figure therein, by which he
seems TO insinuate that Mankato lin
seed oil mill is of little benefit to the
city. 1t is not necessary to brand this
as brutal untruth as every citizen of
our city knows that our linseed oil mill
is every year of vast importance
both in point of furnishing employ
ment to large number of workmen and
in supplying high market for fax seed,
which brings farmers to the city from a
radius of many miles.
After his attempt to show that the
farmers ought to give up raising one of
their most profitable crops and that the
city is not greatly benefited IN having
an oil mill located here, the able editor
makes what is doubtless intended to be
recommendation that the tariff be con-
tinued, but as before stated, when one
is through with the article it is hard to
tell what the Re0ietO does favor in the
matter.

ARnmnrknhlo Kind Of Tea.

Mr.. Yuet Sing, the rich Chinese i'm.
porter, some time ago sent to Canton,
China, for a few pounds of "China's
best" called, in the language of the
Orient, "Peh Kuen Cha,n or White
Clouds. II is peculiarly rare tea that
cannot be cultivated. and is to be found
only once in many years upon certain
high mountain, where it flourishes under
cover of a perpetual dew. After much
trouble the agents in China secured just
exactly four ounces, which arrived here
last evening.
The leading Chinese shopkeepers met
at Mr.. Yuet Sings store to get glimpse,
or possibly taste, of the King Of Mon
golian beverages. In shape and appear.
ance this tea resembles young willow
leaves, slightly rolled in a ball, with a
pale blue color, and when stepped it pre-
sents almost n coloress liquid, almost
tasteless to the palate. Still the China
men claim that it has wonderful me-
dicinal property. Each merchant bought
about a thimbleful of it to keep as a
charm. Mr.. Yuet Sing says that 1t cost
them about SO an ounce. After the
grand division the importer had less
than half an ounce of the csrgo left
