The question which now presents itself Is :
From what source shall the currency come ?
shall IL be from the National banks, by al
lowing them to uss other bonds than those
OF the government, thus making the system
more prof table to the banks? Or from the
continued Issue of silver certificates, which
would tend towards a silver basis? Or from
an unlimited issue OF treasury notes with
out the gold to back them?
IL is not probable that Congress Will rely
upon either OF these sources, but will re-
mand TO the state banks their right to issue
notes, subject 10 only state control.
The principal objection urged against
State banks is that their notes would not be
well secured. The comptroller OF the cur
rency says in his last report: IF happily
the u me arrives when the U. $. government
has no bonded debt, or not sufficient TO be
available rs basis for circulation, there
will, OF necessity, be other choice securities
available Tor such purposes"
The state bank notes would have the
sam security as is now proposed for those
OF the National banks, viz: Bonds selected
by the banks, subject TO the approval OF q
State board, and deposited with the treasu-
rers Of the States as security for their re-
demption. These banks were in excellent
condition and furnished good circulation
when stopped, as already stated. Many OF
them became National banks. Some OF
these have gwen up their charters and be.
come again state banks ; and IL Is not prob
able that with their experience under both
systems, and with the progress OF thirty
years, tuey WOulQ uOlc
which would not be well secured.
Another objection made is that the notes
would not circulate freely far from the To-
calities In which the banks should be luca-
ted 1t Is not expected nor desired that
they should. Their purpose would be to
supply local currency. Persons going to
. distance would use the National currency.
Mr.. Webster 10 quoted as having said, "a
currency emansting partly from National
authority as broad in Its origin rs the whole
country and partly from local banks. organ
lied as our banks now are, and Issuing pa
per for local circulation, Is better currency
for the whole people than ever before exist
ed Each OF these classes OF institutions
aud each OF these kinds Of currency has It's
own proper use and value" The advantage
OF such circulation 10 that II would arford
ample money for the business wants OF the
country, especially to the South aud West
where there is . deficiency. 1t would en-
able the people to borrow money At lever
rate OF interest than is now exacted. The
rate now charged for money throughout the
South. from Virginia TO Texas Is from eight
to ten per cent more than any Legitimate
business can AFFORD to pay. p.

A writer in the American Station

tial leader, qualities which were
Joined to a nature SO simple and con
s6ding that the union seemed incon-
gruous and led many to believe it an
afectation. This was unjust. An
example of this characteristic came
under my notice during the fall of
1872 at private dinner at which
Mr.. Greeley was also a guest. The
talk turned upon the issues of the
campaign and the company sat
charmed listeners to his mastery ar
gumentsin defense ofhis course. Pres
entity the hostess passed him a plate
of pineapple, which, on perceiving
what it was, he returned to her, re-

and child-like avowal provoked. 1t

Lost. An Idea.

OF course you have lost something
atsome time or other. If not 3 dog,
perhaps collar, Ell? Well did 20 d
ever lose an idea? No? That 8 odd.
Never lost one Of those little things
that bob up unexpectedly waits
which give q moments pleasure, and,
presto! fly away before you have
time to fix them firmly in your mind.
Now, think q bit Haven't you a
memory of something that came
and went before You could catch it.
and after it left yon felt as If you
had missed it? The chances are you
have. AnG did you ever try to hunt
up this lost idea? II you did, you
gave thought q hard task. When
you lose dog you can advertise or
engage q detective you can describe
it. Ifnot found youcan get another
dog. If you lose q dollar you replace
it with another dollar. But, if you
lose an idea well, you just lose it,
that's all. Concentrate all your
brain force on the stray, bend your
whole mind and search every thought
that comes along, still there is no
clue. It's gone, atleast fopthe pres
ent, beyond recovery. But the
thought of it lingers-a puzzle, q
ghost of the memory, fash from
the brain, a thing that was but is not,
though ever present. And how hard
it is to forget, too. 1t keeps bob
bing up, crossing and recrossing the
thought line, playing hide and seek
with the Imagination. So we chase
it and chase'it, until at last we give
up in despair and bide our time.
Doubtless it will come again-come
when we least expect it and come to
stay. Then we greet it like an old
friend whose features are not famil7

..,- gain.

The End of July was the third month
ly sale at the slave mart since our ar
rival in Wargla, and led by curiosity,
went to the :Beni-Sissine quarter,
where the haggling for human flesh
takes place, says a writer in the Inter
Ocean. This month is the middle Of
the dull season, when all traffic is
stopped and very little labor can be
done. The deadly heat which pre-
walls during the forty canicular days
causes all travellers and traders to
Shun the GASES for fear of the epidemic
fever springing from the dry marshes
until about the end of September,
when the nomads re-enter the Sahara
with abundance of cattle and grain,
and the Mozabites renew their barter
ing traffic between the GASES and the
North.
During that period the Internal shi-
hill, that intensely dry southern wind,
drives every one to the darkest corner
of his house or into the deepest shade
of his garden. Work is not to be
thought of, and the slave cannot hui
namely be compelled to work when he
is as much affected as the master.
But though the slave be Of little use
to his owner. for that time, his stomach
claims a daily contribution to feed the
vital fame until more favorable
weather permits him to be more use
full to his master. Meanwhile no
communication being held with the eX-
terror. the GASES are left to their own
resources, and families have to subsist
upon provisions laid aside in the spring,
consisting mainly Of dry meat kelya),
dates and barley. Those who through
lack Of financial means or want of
provision fall short in their calcula-
ton for subsistence to the end Of the
season are reduced to suffering or
forced to part with some of their prop
erty, should a buyer be found, who in
this case would naturally take advan-
tage of their necessity.
