Editor Gazette.
The country at large, and the farmers in

national banking system is the best bank

had. Then, why not perpetuate it! |
would suggest that congress authorize the
secretary of the treasury TO issue bond
running not less than fifty years and draw
ing per cent interest per annum. Let
congress then abolish the TAX on circulation
on condition that all national banks substi-
tute the new , per cent for such
as they may have. and require
all national banks accepting the
. per cent bond, to issue the full limit OF
circulation, that is 80 per cent. Never let
ting 1t come below that. SO that no cOmblna-
tons may be made by which the circulating
volume of currency may be contracted Ii
this would give the country more money
than business would demand, creating q
possibility of depreciation, then let either
the per cent of circulation be reduced, or
the numder of banks be limited. | would
also suggest that the new per cent bonds

BERLIN, July "A terrible storm Of
thunder, hail and rain passed over large
part of Germany last night. causing in
mense damage TO property and loss Of life
in the villages of Suchtellenrade and Sit
tard. In the Crefeld district, also near
Dusseldorf, the storm was especially Sc

terrific. Many houses were completely
wrecked and the inmates buried in the
ruins. Thirteen bodies have already been
recovered. The army pioneers have been
sent to the scene of the disaster TO aid in
the work of rescue. 1t is yet too soon to
form any estimate of the total number Of
lives lost. Every hour is adding TO the
story of disaster. and but few places in the
path Of the storm seemed to have escaped.

TOPEKA, KAN, July 5-Last night about
12 O'Clock grasshoppers stopped the Rock
Island passenger train at Lyman, Col,
about fifty miles west of the Kansas line.
They covered the track for a distance of
five miles and the wheels of the engine re-
volved helplessly. Another engine was
procured at Lyman which pushed the train
through the ive-mile column, ii taking two
hours to accomplish this even with two en-
gines. The grasshoppers have been Matching
out for two weeks and are not vet maturcd
enough TO rise. Fears are entertained that
they will be able to rise before the corn IS
hard enough to be safe and be blown into
this state by the northwest winds from the
mountains. They We're in such quantities
that they covered the rails. II is not
known how much territory they extend
over.

PUPILS OF MIR.
Pleasant Reunion of Pupils of the

A Pleasant Reunion of Pupils of the
 old Hartford Seminary.
 About forty-fve pupils of the late MT. T. W. T. Curtis, who was for years prinoi- pal of New Haven's high school, held re- union at the Allyn house, Hartford, yes- terday. It was pleasant gathering of ladies who had attended the seminary on Church street, in that city, while it existed, from 1861 to 1867, and many were the en- tertaining "reminiscences told during the meeting. Mrs. Curtis, the widow of MT. Curtis, was present, and by unanimous choice of the ladies she was elected to pre- side over the proceedings. It was hoped that Mrs. Curtis two sons would be present, but they were unavoidably absent. One son has just completed 8 tour of the world, the other is civil engineer in the Rocky mountains
 Letters of regret were received from a number of the old pupils who were unable to be present. . All contained expressions of congratulation to the lady in whose honor the gathering was held.
 Z Addresses were made by Mrs. James McManus, who paid a tribute to the memo " of Mr. Curtis; by Mrs. E. H. Sears. Miss Belden, Mrs. E. M. Francis of Weth- ersfeld, Mrs. Florine Thayer McCray and by Miss Lizzie Bierson, who related some interesting "reminiscences of her missionary labors in China.
 During the proceedings beuatiful bou- quet was presented to Mrs. Curtis.
 At 3 o'clock dinner was served and the ladies continued the pleasant conversation enjoyed in the parlors of the hotel.

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Lecture on China, Corea and Japan In
 Marquand Chapel.

A<OCsuk v VII SAAAAAsse 0OAOo osAsA - ~E~~- -
 Marquand Chapel.
 In response to the marvellous increase of interest in foreign missions, course of lectures has been provided by the faculty of the Divinity school. Yesterday at 3 o'clock Rev Edward H. Lawrence, pastor of the First Congregational church of Baltimore, opened his course of six lectures in Marquand chapel. His subject was foreign missions in China, Corea and Ja- pan. He has made two years journey through the foreign mission field, paying his own expenses and drawing his own conclusions. From the point of view of traveller his first three lectures have been prepared; the last three from the point of view of missionary. The lecture was vigorous and picturesque. He began by speaking of the peculiarities, the great antiquity. extent and colonizing powers of the Celestial Empire and it's neighbors, the Coreans and Japanese.
 Here is the place more than any where else that the missionary must fall back on the sovereignty of God. Redeem these people to God. Give them the prevailing ferment of divine life and they will be s>~~ Teutonic race has been in the west. The speaker then traced historically missionary work in China and dated modern expressive work from 1865. He then took the Foo Chow mission typi- cal example and explained it's wark. Their superstition repels innovations; their self righteousness blinds them to sin; their mercenary spirit induces them to become Christians for revenue only. Although it may be many years later yet the time will come wl1an the miscalled celestial empire will be added to the heavenly kingdom. In Corea there are 18,O00, ,000 people and twelve missionaries.
 He came next to speak of that modern, 1 ancient nation of Japan. Twenty years ago there was not a church in that coun- l try. Now Christianity has all the solidity l of state church. 'It made me think, ''
 said he, "when I saw the graceful manner I in which they conducted their services and
 their ready grasp of the spirit of Chris | tianity, that after all Christianity is an l oriental religion, and that we in the west | have to conform ourselves to it." l The lecture this afternoon will be on India

THE Loss TO THE STATE.

IHtA AOSS IO HI K STATEs Thousands of Dollars Cannot He
 Collected Because Of Staub, Sanger
 k Go.
 HARTFORD, Oct. 22.-Up to. date the board of equalization difficulty at the cap itol has cost the state the sum of $3, 282,- CT. To all appearances this loss is irrevo- cable, says the Courant. It is the amount of the taxes on the increased value of va rious stocks, which had been underyalued in the report of seven different corpora tions.
 The legal existence of the board of equalization, as body, to regulate the values at which the stock of varioas cor porations of the state, held by non-residents of Connecticut, lapsed on Tuesday night. Through the eight days of its legal existence, prior to that time, Treasurer Henry was in his office, ready to act with the comptroller in the matter. During that time the urer, but insisted upon recognizing Marvin H. Sanger as acting treasurer of the state, though that gentleman has said l in court that he was not exercising the privileges or performing the duties of the office of treasurer, and though he had filed | no bond "to the acceptance of the gover- | nor," statory prerequisite to his entering upon his office. There is no other body, under the law of this state, that has power to correct the returns of the com panies.
 It is interesting to consider what may l be the result of ony more such fol-de-rol
 by MT. Staub and his advisers, when the
 board of equalization, consisting of the
 treasurer and .oomptrollsr, is called inte
 existence next month to'pass on the re- | turns of the railroads. The taxes accru | ing to the state of Connecticut from these | corporations amount to from $500, ,000 tc 1 $900, ,00O. Invariably the board is obliged | to raise the valuation returned by the
 roads by very large figures. If agair
 there should be no legal session of the
 board of equalization, and the state, as i I
 this case, should be compelled to fall back
 on the returns of the companies, the losl
 to Connecticut would not be less thar 1 $100, 0,00O.
