had instructed country banks that
they would not hc token in settle

current funds. On account Of this
disloyal and unpatrIotic spirit on the
part Of the banks, which Comptroller
Lacey so pointedly elaborates in his
report, these notes were sent to the
government treasury. Secretary Chase
could only reply, as he often did.

Congress convened in regular ses-
sion in December, 1861. Secretary
Chase, in his report ut that time,
called attention to the fact that tie

by tue most eminent statesmen
whether currency of bank notes,
issued by local institution under state
laws. is not, in fact, prohibited 10y

emissions certainly fall within the
spirit, if not within the letter, of the
constitution prohibition of the mis-
sion Of bills of credit by the states.
and of making by them Of anything
excep, gold and silver com legal
tender in payment OF debts How
ever this may be, it is too clear to
be reasonibly disputed, that congress,
under the constitutional power to lay
taxes, to regulate commerce, and to
regulate the value OF coin, possesses
ample authority to control the credit
circulation that enters so largely into
the transactions of commerce, and af-
fects in so many ways the value Of
coin ="
In the judgement Of the Secretary,
the time has arrived when Congress
should exercise this authority.
On the question of the constitu-
tional law, he said "if the Secretary
has omitted the discussion of this
constitutional power of congress to
put this plan into operation, it is
because no power is necessary t,
establish the proposition, that the
power to regulate commerce and the
value OF coin includes the power t.
regulate the currency of the country
or the collateral proposition that tEt
power to effect the end includes tht
power to adopt the necessary and ex
pcdieut means.''
This argument has never yet beer
answered, never can be, by the adv,

He then set forth two schemes fo
the consideration of congress. Th'
first was further issue of demant
notes, aud withdrawal of bank note

government. The other was sui

"MOOn. AhOY!'

Regarding the seamanshlp of one OF
the members of the Massachusetts naval
reserve: The incident occurred during
the trip on the cruiser San Francisco,
and voluminous as was the commenda-
tory report of their doings which was
sent to the navy department it did not
include this incident.

were at sea one of the amateur tars

man. The night was clear and beauti-
full Myriads of stars twinkled i'll the
heavens, but there was no moon. Sud
denly the reserve sang out:
Light ahoy!"
"Where away?' asked the officer of the
deck.
Far, far away" replied the would be
man-o'-war's man.
When the officer had recovered from
the shock occasioned by this unseaman-
like answer, he looked over the rail in
the direction pointed out by the man
from Boston. Then he had another fit.
The stern discipline which prevails on a
cruiser at sea did not allow him to swear,
but there was word Of meaning in the
way in which he growled out: "What's
the matter with you? Can't you recognize
the rising moon when you see it,"
"Moon! Moonw stammered the en-

October. 1892. The imports, however.
have been only SOL ,64l 1872 this year, as
against 81 $685. for 1892. The figures
for 10 months since January now show
an excess of exports of Sl3,935,724 in
favor of the United States, the balance
being on the American side for the first
time during the year. The shipments of

Joe ,yeFerson,s Boxing Lesson.

Rising young actors usually guard
their positions with a jealous eye, and
during the early life of Joseph jefferson
he was no exception to the rule. When
under the management of Dion Bouci-
cault, 1.-THE Octoroon" was produced,
and in the announcement of the papers
Jefferson's name did not appear. Being
one of the principals in the drama, he
naturally felt indignant, and so he sent
his part to the theater with note in
which he resigned from his engagement
until new arrangement could be en-
tered into. About this time Jefferson
was suffering from dyspepsia and con-
ceived the idea that the gentle exercise
of boxing would relieve him. He en-
gagged professor of the ''manly art, "
and his boxing lessons were given in the
drawing room of the house where he was
living.
The day following his resignation he
and the professor were INDUCING In q
'fierce exchange" when, suddenly look
ing over his opponents shoulder, he dis
covered the amazed faces of Dion Bouci-
cault and William Stuart. They stood
aghast at the scene and fancied that
Jefferson intended settling his difficult
ties by an appeal to science and had Sc
cured the services of a professional
bruiser to assist him. Their alarm was
soon set at rest by jefferson, who dis
missed the pugilist and came to more
/ explicit understanding without the aid
of the Marquis of Queensberry.-Phila
