Origin OF our treasury system.

The system of Receiving and paving
moneys now in vogue at the Treasury
was instituted by Alexander HamiI-
ton, the first Secretary, and for the
simplicity of its operations and in.
sured certainty of its accountability
stand monument to the genius of
that eminent financier, who, in .exs
planning the scheme to Congress stat
ed that under its operations the Sec
retary himself could not take from
the Treasury even the monthly salary
due him, except in the way provided
for all creditors of the government.
Four times every year the accounts
are closed, and the balances standing
in the several Offices compared. Only
a clerical error-and that does not
often occur-can prevent their agree
ing. The difference between the to.
tai receipts and total expenditures OF
the Treasury must be represented by
the cash held, and this result has been
found sf. 1s. tEgs st .s.. every sessIsment siHes

Timely Hints.

1t is astonishing how many people
there are who neglect punctuality.-
Thousands have failed in life from
this cause alone. 1t is not only a
serious vice in itself. but it is the
fruitful parent of numerous other
vices, so that he who becomes the VIC
tim OF it gets involved in tolls from
which it is almost Impossible to es-
cape. 1t makes the merchant waste
full of time, it saps the business repu-
tation of the lawyer, and it Injuries
the prospects of the mechanic, who
might otherwise rise to fortune-in a
word, there is not a profession or a
station in life which is not liable to
the canker of this destructive habit.
1t is in early life that the habit of
promptness may most easily be ac-
qhired. Parents should accustom
their children to choose and decide
many things for themselves, teaching
them how to think quickly and effect
lively, prohibiting changes without
sufficient cause, and allowing them to
experience the natural consequences
OF their determinations. In this way
they will gradually learn to bear re-
sponsibility, and to acquire as much
rapidity of thoughtand word asis CON

Death Of James E. Wright.


Last Sunday moDning r. NJ. Wright
received telegram from Guthrie, l. T..
stating that his son James had received
his death blow at the hands of a man
named Campbell. He at once started for
Guthrie, but his son had died before he
reached there. The only information we
have concerning this tragic death, leads
us to believe that it was accidental. At
an alteration Saturday night in which
a number of men took hand. he stepped
between to make peace when he received
a deep cut in the groin, from which he
died Sunday morning. The weapon used
was an ordinary pocket knife.
The remains were brought to his home
in this city yesterday afternoon, and the
funeral will take place this afternoon on
the arrival of his mother from st. Louis.
The circumstances of the death of
James Wright are peculiarly sad, and our
warmest sympathies 60 out to the be-
reaved parents.
The funeral will take place from the
Presbyterian church this afternoon at
$50. Rev. j. NJ. Wright conducting the
