TURKEYS and Geese.
When Sheridan was hard up for cash he
used to make his wit earn the means Of sub
sistence, and he could accomplish this no
better than by laying wagers with the
prince regent. 4 discussion once arose as
10 the respective walking capabilities Of
turkeys and geese. and the wit expressed

that turkeys would walk twice as far as

tO-b,d" habits Of turkeys, took care 10 ar
range for long distance to be traversed,
and TO fix the period Of trial late in the
afternoon. The cOnsgqur nee was that
evening set in before the rival ilOcks had

DEMAND FOR SMALL NOTES.
Growing Need for Currency OF Small De

Growing Need for Currency OF Small De-
nominations.
The demands upon the Government for
currency of the smaller denominations have
seldom been more extended or active than
they have been for the past two months.
They come from all sections, but especially
from the region between the Mississippi
and the Rocky mountains. But little OF the
silver coined under the Bland-AllisOn law
remains idle in the Treasury. II Is i'm cir
culati0n, except 60 the extent OF few mill
lion dollars. either by certificates or as
coin The notes which have been issued
under the Sherman bullion law have been
principally of the larger denominations.
None under $40 appear thus far to
have been put out. The denOmina-
lions most sought for are ones, twos.
and fiyes. These will be furnished as tar
as the facilities Of the Government will per-
NIT and business demands, beginning few

This demand is one Of the encouraging
signs Of the times. Ii shows that general
trade is active; that all workers who desire
work are employed. and that the country Is
fairly prosperous. Currency OF the larger

heavier transactions, but the smaller notes
are indispensable when activity is widely
liiiused In the latter condition money,
though in small amounts, passes quickly
from hand 10 hand. Everybody is busy, and
the general average of comfort and content
ment is at its highest. This seems to be the
situation at present. All of the signs
which have hitherto been considered trust

the same direction. Railway earnings are

industries are busy, with the prospect, too,
that the activity Will last at least through
out the season. Politics aside, the business
outlook. as most persons whose Judgment
on this question is worthy Of attention Will
admit, is fully as hopeful as it has been at
any time within the last half dozen years.

DANvILLE, VA, Nov. 2l.-Ispeclsl. =
There is a row in the insurance camp. There
has been much complaint in this city for
several years past about what has been re.
garded as exorbtant insurance rates on all
business risks, especially tobacco in
surance. The rates have for years been
dictated By local board Of underwriters,
which acts under a State board com
posed Of general agents, with head
quarters at Richmond. The local insurance
board, ii has been charged, has for
years formed a sort Of insurance trust,
and has ruled the insurance business OF
this city with an iron hand. Much kicking
by business men resulted in an announce
ment, not long since, by W. j. Dance X Co,
a large insurance agency, that they would
offer rebate Of ten cents on all tobacco
risks. Immediately on the pr0mulgatl0n OF
this proclamation another insurance agency
went to Richmond and employed the
general board TO put a curb on Dance
Co. Accordingly, meeting OF the general
board will be held next Wednesday to de-
eide as TO the advisability Of suppressing
Dance & Co. In the meantime the people
have risen in their might. and are tooth and
tOe-nail with Dance 4 Co. The fight goes
brayely. and has attracted great deal Of
attention. and the insuring public seem to
be deriving a great deal Of comfort from the
quarrel.
