daily expenses. At that time the only
money in the United States was gold and
silver coin and the notes of the state banks,
over which the government had no control
The note of q state bank is no more
money than your individual note, although
it may be better substitute for money, be-
cause people generally will accept the bank
note.
The first issue of paper money to which
Mr.. Stanford refers, was known as treasury
notes. They were not greenbscks at all.
All the issues of paper money ever is-
sued by the government since Its exist
ence have been treasury notes, and have
been 30 treated by the officials Of the
government, and since the commence
ment Of the civil war all such Issues
have been called greenbacks.
There are number of different kinds
issued as money with legal tender quail
ties.
First was issued the demand note, act
Of July II, 1861, $50,OOOO0O. They were
not legal tender when issued nor re-
Celvable for public dues as stated by you,
but were redeemable on demand in coin,
and yet the sutler and banker refused
to take them for more than 80 per cent.
Of their face value. This fact coming to
the knowledge of Mr.. Lincoln, he
recommended that they be made receiv-
able for public dues, the same as coin.
This was done by act of August 5, 1881,
which will be found In laws relating to
loans and currency, page 1876, section 5.
This was only nineteen days after the
passage of the bill under which the de-
mand notes were issued, yet they de-
preciated 20 per cent, but no sooner had
the bill Of August 5th, making them pay
all that gold and silver would pay, be-
come law, than they Immediately be-
came worth as much as gold or silver
everywhere, and remained so through
the entire war.
By act of February u, 1852, the amount
OF these notes was increased to sixty mil
lions. The next issue was under act of
February 25, 1862, and was entitled "An
act to authorize the issue of United
States notes, etc." limited to 15O,O00,000.
Act Of July II, 1852, authorized the
Issue Of 100000 more United States
notes. Act of January II, 1865, 63,authorlzed |
the issue of 1OO,OOO,OOO more notes.
Under act of March 3, 1868, section 2,
the secretary Of the treasury was author
lied to issue 4O0,OOO,0OO OF treasury |
notes of the United States, bearing in
terest at 6 per cent. These notes were a
legal tender the same as United States
notes for their face value. See section 2,
page 148. BY same act, section 3, the
secretary of treasury is authorized to In
crease Issue of notes 100000 under act
Of January II, 1868.
The act of June 30, 1854, section 2,author-
ICES the issue of 2OO,OOO,OOO 7 80 treas
lry notes legsl-tender for full face value,
also 5O,OOO,OOO fractional currency. Act of
March 3, 1869, authorized the issue of
5OO,OOO,OOO 7.3O treasury notes which
we're legsl-tender to their full face value,
excluding interest.
All OF these different issues were
United States treasury notes, and all
we're alike greenbacks. The first co.
100000 were by acts Of August 5, and
March II, 1852, made as good as gold
md silver by making them legal.tender

YOUTH.

Youth-it is all the JOY that laughs IN the soft
sprsug grasses
mat burns In the fa1low earth as the phantom
Of winter passes.
And rings out the chant OF the grave In the
song OF q hope begun
The skies are older than death; the seas have
shaken the valleys
Which arc fun to-day OF the peace Of slumber-
ing woods and streams;
The ages have left their prints In each huctuant
moment which rallies
/, From ruin and change and night from infinite
duslEs OF dreams
But youth. with q fresh delight, and mindless
Of sad years fashioned
In the cruel tolls OF the world IN the bitter
strifes Of tho soul,
Looks out and is glad Of itself, glad and intense
and impassioneds
And sees with cLultant eyes the pageantstGf
life unroll-
Sees the day at its dawn, and cries to its birds
Secs the day at its fun and the splendors that
sink in the west.
Watches the purpled clouds as they sh-do" the
peaks Of the mountains,
And follows the trace Of the moon 70 deep
and G-eamlcss rest.
On. whether it watches or sleeps, or whether it
speaks or hearkens,
It is only the day whie,, is here, the day which
trenlblc5 and d2Tlzsns,
That holds for rhc heart Of youth the wonders
that thrill and -,ng.
It Is only the day which IS here, which IS full Of
That startles tho blood Of youth to sense O.:
exquisite power,
That nils the earth and the heavens with q
strange and beautiful glory,
And measures the sweetness Of time by the
flight Of joyous hour.

sixty-tvo days, and returned to Amcri-
co on a. bark which kindly consented 70

The captain is a very interesting char

that he is prepared to meet every urgu-

when it said: THE fact that Capt. An
dreyvs can cross the ocean in q cookie
shell merely proves that small boats are
safe when q Capt Andrews sails them
Amateurs should remember this when
the wind begins to sing"
The captain himself says that ''halt
the people who are drowned lose their
lives because they do not realize that a
boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might,
or a ship loaded with "a heavy cargo,
but row boat, sail boat or ordinary
wooden vessel may caPsizc, but viii,

These boats are often crushed against

my opinion, far safer than others" An
ingenious theory but hardly a fair one.
