To ne Editor Of tie Dispatch:
Think ii would be wise for Professor
Davis, IN language of the soldiers Of the
late war, to come down out OF that
proposition"
Professor Davis knows something about
human anatomy, l am very sure. He
knows il is Just as much q miracle to re-
duce without surgical aid o dislocated
ankle or knee-joint when that dislocation
has existed from youth as to change the
current Of the Gulf Stream, or, TO repeat
my other illustration. to show us the
"other side of the moon" Nature is just
~ certain and regular in her small laws, 80
TO speak, as in her great laws. When Peter
said to the helpless. lone cripple, "Silver
and gold have none, but such as l have
give unto thee" and taking the man by
the hand lifted him to his no,o sound and
restored nkle-bones, he violated me
chanical law as much as If be had removed

WASHINGTON, August 26.-The special

in the Office of the Comptroller Of the Cur
rency, containing S45. $4,000 unissued ma

This result reflects the highest credit on
the officer and employees charged with this
