ury in the week ended last Friday evening. the
New-York banks lost 81 Az cash. An approx
mate estimate of the weeks interior movement
gives the net outgo at So 900 900. These two items
call for loss to the average cash in bank Of
above So. OOO. 900 But the bank statement OF the
weeks averages reports cash gain of $206,5
There is only one method by which this discrep-
ancv can be accounted fora further return TO
bank Of between S4,Ooo,00O and $4,000 600 Of
cash that for two months has been withheld
from circulation The loans were contracted
S2S74. co. therefore the decline of S2,4Sl 400
reported in the deposits is about 100000 greater
than the loss called for by the other changes;

The ConaresslonaI RECORD.

1t has been for many years a stand
ing joke that in order to secure en-
tire immunity from publicity it was
only necessary to have an address pub
lished in the Congressional Record.
1t would have been vastly better for
the country il the Record had been
more largely read. But few people
keep themselves informed as to the
doing of our national law makers. Il
is only when something Of a more or
less sensational nature occurs that
the public is informed by the press
reports.
The following choice extracts from
the Record Of March 23,are Of signih-
canoe The bill asking for increase
Of salaries Ofchiefs Of Land Office was
under discussion in the senate.

was conspicuous Tor lis success. This dlsposes
OF this charge At least"
It is sufficient TO state that whom the
vote to re-charter the National banks
was taken in the Honse "but SO out Of
1877 democrats voted against it, " and
on "June 2, 1888, Mr.. wilkins, dem
ocrat) chairman Of the Committee on
Banking, made the following report
to the House.
sowing TO tho success attendant on the nation
nj banking system and the recognized benefits II
now affords the whole country, the question Of
los continuance 10 a period cOequal nj least with
the existence Of government bonds, seems well
settled by both Congress and tho people"
The benefits of these institutions
are those so graphically portrayed in
Gen. Jackson's farewell address here
tofore quoted. VIII tho Times be
kind enough TO point out the differ
ence between the republican and dem
ocratic doctrine upon this subject at
the present time? And while engaged
in this work, pointing out differences,
it would be well to point out chat up
on the subject Of these other funda-
mental doctrines of the Alliance, viz
the substitution OF legal tonder treas
ury notes for national bank notes,
tho expansion Of the circulating me-
dunn until IT'S volume is sufficient To
transact tho business to the country
the question Of Alien ownership Of
American land and American indus
tries, and that of transportation and
communication. We have not sufficient
space at this time TO quote from the
records the position Of tho parties on
these questions, bnt we assert that
both occupy common ground, and we
may in the future show this from Off
cial references. Will the Times dis
pute this proposition?
These are some Of tie questions
which the Alliance and other Labor
Organizations are insisting shall re-
ceive attention, and they insist, that
these questions shall not be sup
pressed either by the cry Of tariff re-
form or resubmission. How does
the Times stand upon these questions
Will the Times also please publish
in this connection Ex-president Cleve-
lands letter in response to Che re-
quest that in his inaugural address he
should be silent upon the subject Of
silver coinage, and the comments OF
the Times upon that letter. Our rec
objection of the matter is that the
Times apologized for Mr.. Cleveland
on that occasion by saying that he did
not know any better. In view Of bic
prospective candidacy in 1892 it would
be of interest to the people to know il
he has learned anything since.

Speculation Over Ruins.

The strange story, told on good author
ity, of the ruins of great fortified city,
built of dressed granite blocks, found on
the Mashonaland plateau. in South
Africa, has given rise to a great deal of
curious speculation, for its history is
wholly unknown. Many of the walls
are completely covered by the dense
jungle, and very old trees grow on the
top of the ruins. If the city or fert was
built by natives it must have been in
remote periods of time, when there was
higher civilization than now, but it is
just possible that the fort was con-
structed under the direction of early
Portuguese explorers and by the aid of
cheap slave labor.
Only a superficial view has been made
of the ruins, but light may be thrown
on the mystery when the houses them
selves have been explored. Light is be-
ing rapidly turned on the Dark Conti-
nent, and the stories that come from it
are as interesting as those sent to Europe
from this country 800 to 400 years ago.
Then, however, the news was not wide
ly disseminated. Now every one who
chooses can learn from day to day what
is going on in Africa as in other parts of
the wOrld.-EXchange

a Frog Child

A child was born in Birmingham,
England, on Sept, 90, which bears a
strong resemblance to frog. Its skin
is warty and cold and clammy to the
touch; when it cries it makes an un-
earthly croalling noise. There are three
fingers ON each hand and four toes on
each foot. Besides the points enumer-
ated 1T has many other characteristics of
a frog, even to huge, knotty looking, lid
less eyes. The parents are almost dis
tracted over the occurrence and hourly
pray for it to die.
There are two other ''frog child" cases
on record, one the offspring of a Piute
squaw in Nevada, which was born about
ten years since, the other a monstrosity
which first saw the light of day at
Goshen, Ind, in January, 1sse.5St.

Dead in the Saddle.

A ST ecial from Payson, q. T., says
John Bolton accidentally killed himself
while going horseback from Payson to
Salem. In the middle of the forenoon
he left town to visit his sister in Salem,
taking with him double barreled shot
gun, with which he shot himself He
was found on horseback with half the
right side of his head blown off. He
was sitting in the saddle leaning his
head over the horses neck. Apparently
the horse had not moved since the gun
exploded. 1t is believed that he had
been dead in the saddle two hours.-Cor.

The Watermelon Loaded with wasps.

The Watermelon Loaded with Wasps
There was a funny occurrence on
Pratt street wharf Wednesday, A sailor
on an oyster pungy which had been
cruising about the oyster grounds off
Mogothy river landed with a dilapidated
looking watermelon under his right arm.
The mariner entered nearby saloon
and laid the piece of fruit down.
1t being little late in the season for
melons n crowd gathered around to look
at the sailors find, and several of them
emphatically expressed doubts as to the
soundness of the melon. The sailor, in
nocent of what was inside of it, said to
prove the melon was in good shape he
would plug it before carrying it to his
best girl, to whom he intended to pre-
sent it. He did so, and upon extracting
a piece of the rind about 100 wasps flew
out and made things lively about the
place.
1t seems that the melon was somewhat
overripe, and while lying neglected in
its bed family of wasps had bored a
small hole in one end of it and taken up
their abode therein. The man who
brought it to town rushed out of the
place with several of the insects settling
down upon his face, and in his hurry he
knocked over an italian fruit stand, fell
on cat, which was nearly crushed to
death, and nearly knocked two police
men into the dock. The restaurant man
put out his gas and left his dogs to fight
the wasps. .-Baltimore Herald.

wonders Under a prarsh.

"A remarkable discovery was recently
made in the town of Oneonta, where a
company is engaged in digging phos-
Phates from the depths of a swamp. In
one place the marsh is underlaid at the
depth of twelve feet by an impervious
stratum of blue clay, above which are
found three successive and distinct eras
OF forest growths. The bottom layer is
OF deciduous trees that grow only ON up
lands, such as beech, oak and maple.
The second layer is of soft swamp woods,
such as elder, basswood and dogwood.
The upper layer is of coniferous trees,
such as pine, hemlock and spruce. The
puzzle to the naturalist is the finding of
upland trees at the bottom of the marsh,
with the trunks and larger limbs and
abundant specimens of leaves and beech
nnts In good state of preservation. An
other wonder unearthed by the excava-
tions is the finding, at point five feet
below the surface and among the trunks
OF the coniferous trees, of fiat stone
about five feet square which Had been
utilized as a fireplace.
The blackened stone, the large collec-
tion of ashes and cinders, and the bits of
crumbing bones of animals indicate
that long ages ago somebody cooked food
there. That somebody must have been
man in the strictly primitive and savage
state, for no trace of any utensil or tool,
not even sharpened flint, has been
found among the debris of the fre.-Al-
bany journal.
