ing such exemption. that they have not
had outstanding in their circulating
notes exceeding 70 per cent. Of
their paid-up and unimpaired capital;
liable for the redemption of their circu-

said banks upon their circulating notes

including Treasury notes OF 1870, equal to
30 per cent. of their outstanding circulate
ing notes, and that such banks haVo
promptly redeemed their circulating
notes when presented at their principal
or branch offices.
It Is quite likely that this scheme may
be useiuliy amended in some OF its de-
tails, but | am satisfied it furnishes a
basis for very great improvement i'll our
present banking and currency system.

The New York Record recently
offered a prize of S25 to the person who
would give the best definition of the
word seigni0rage. A large number OF
answers were received. but the follow
ing was the prize winner:
"SeignOrage consists of the differ
ence between the cost Of an on,ount
of bullion and the face value of the
coins minted from it. BY the Sher-
man act the government was COM
PEELED to purchase 800 600 ounces Of
silver per month, at the market price.
AS the price of silver fluctuated, SO
the amoInt of treasury notes issued
IN payment of this bullion sometimes
increased, sometimes diminished.
The downward tendency having been
greater in the last few years, there
were issued from the time of the pas
sage of the Sherman act to its repeal
$l54 600 600 in treasury notes, to cover
an amount of bullion which should
actually have made 200 600 600 silver
dollars. In other words there is now
an amount of bullion lin excess OF
the reserve to cover the 1854 600 600
treasury notes. in the treasury which,
if coined would make So 600 600 silver
dollars, against which the seignOrage
bill is to issue paper currency, and
put So 900 600 in the treasury and
help the government out OF its tlnan-
cial difficulties"

The Apron.

1t would appear that Immediately
after the Masonic revival of iii, it
was not the custom with brethren to
wear aprons, membership being desig-
mated by IA blue ribbon and a jewel,
worn the same as knights of chivalric
orders carry decorations the present
day. The officers displayed their
jewels suspended from wide ribbon
en- sautoir, i. G. round the neck. When
aprons came in vogue, and the Royal
Arch and the Degree of the Temple
appended to ancient Masonry by
some capitular lodges, wherein all the
degrees were conferred, an extra color
was added to the aprons edging to
denote the exaltation its wearer had
attained. Consequently red, in con-
junction with the blue, showed the
brother to be companion Of the Roy
al Arch, while an additional black
announced him to have the Chiyalric
Degree Of the Temple.

The following suggestion from an
editorial in the March number Of the
Southern States Magazine might be
utilized by Southern investors and
not be left to the financial centers."
Outside OF these agencies, then, how
is the cause of immigration to be ad-
vanced? The questions and condi.
tions giving rise to it suggest an op-
pOrtunity for capital and enterprise.
In almost any part of the South very
large areas of land may be gotten to.
gether at very low prices. With mon
ey enough to buy and properly devel-
op farm lands, and with judicious
management, there is hardly any lin.
it to the profitable business that could
be done by immigration or colonial
tion companies. For example, COM
pany that could buy say 10 900 to 90
600 or more acres Of land IN a body, or
make up this acreage by consolidating
number of farms bought from di fer
ent owners, and then divide this up
into small farms Of twenty, forty or
eighty more acres, construct roads
throughout the entire area drain the
whole OF it, put it all in the best
shape for the most advanced farming
or gardening operations, building
houses, etc, and then direct them
selves to the work of colonizing it or
selling to individual settlers, such a
company, with sufficient capital and
proper management, could quickly
settle up almost any area Of land and
make enormous profits for its stock
holders. Besides the tracts sold as
small farms, there would necessarily
be one or more centrally located vii
lage sites which would become imme-
dlately valuable as town property.
There is nothing easier than getting
northern farmers to go South. The
conditions of farming and of life at
the South, are so incomparably supe.
rior to those at the North that they
need only to be pressed upon the at.
tention of northern farmers to be
availed of. In its millions of acres Of
cheap lands the South has the advan.
tage of an entirely new and undeyel-
opcd country, and has with all the adj
vantages and comforts and attrac-
tiOns of IN established and advanced
civilization. The South is in the
main more healthfu than any other
part of the United States, It's range
of farm and garden products is great
er, it offers better opportunities for
profitable agriculture, and is in all
respects a section where life can be
lived in greater comfort than at the
North. Convinced of these facts,
hundreds of thousands of well-to-dO
farmers in other parts of the country
would quickly move to the South. In
fact, there is even now, all over the
North and Northwest, a disposition
to go South. AS was stated in IL let
ter published in the January number
of the Southern States, 'there are
thousands who would move South il
somebody would start the ball roll
ing" These are the conditions.
Properly utilized, they can be made to
furnish wide and rich field for some
of the millions now lying idle and
non-productiye IN the financial cen.
ters."

LOVE HAS ITS war.

an never wed for love alone,"
A naughty maiden said.
"The man who claims me for his own
In paths of fame must tread.
He must have ships upon the main,
And be Of proud degree,
Or shall treat with high disdain
His words of love for me-"
All, naughty maiden, have care
Lest wealth and fame prove but snare.
A lover came this maid to WOO,
A youth quite fair to see;
His love was strong, his heart was true,
Bnt yet no gold had he:
Unknown to fortune and to fame,
In humble paths he trod
His only wealth an honest name,
The noblest gift of God.
All, naughty maiden, bethink thee well,
The power of love no tongue can tell.
The maiden listened, first with scorn,
To his soft tales of love,
But soon more beauteous seemed the morn
More bright the stars above,
For lave had lit the tiny fame
That slumbered in her breast,
What cared she now for wealth or fame,
Since love her soul possessed?
The naughty maid had learned to know
'Tis love that makes the flowers grow.
Though great its might, the power Of gold
True love can never buy,
And yearnng hearts are not consoled
BY fame or lineage high.
'Tis love alone that rules the heart,
And 50 twill be alway;
When Cupid sends his shining dart,
Love always wins the day.
And happiness is always found
Where love and tenderness abound.

FUGITlVE's CONFESSION.
A Young Man Advised to Throw Him
reif on the Mercy of the Court.

After the Moody meeting in Rich
mont one night last week, q WELL
dressed young man sought Rev. DR..
Landrum, and told him that he was
IL fugitive from justice, that his home
was in North Carolina; that his
mother was wealthy and that in a
drunken spree he shot man and ran
away, and that he had been travel
ing all over the country since that
time. He went to the Moody meet
ing, and was SO much impressed that
he det termined to go home and sur
rend,r himself to the authorities.
He wrote his mother, telling her of
his de; ation, and she replied
that fhe was glad of his contrition,
but did not want him to stand trial,
as it would result in his being sent
to the penitentiary. The young man
wanted to obey his mother, bnt felt
that he ought to stand his trial, and
asked for advice. The Richmond

dictates of his conscience, to go home
and throw himself on the mercy of
the court, and all would be we'll. The
young man said that he would pur-
sue that course, and he is doubtless

,rhe Coast Line Beat the r.. & D.

The second contest race between
passenger trains on the Atlantic
Coast Line and r. s. d. roads, from
Jacksonville, Fla, to New York was
won by the former. The Coast Line
train reached Washington at T:15 and
the Richmond & Danville at 9. The
Richmond s. Danviile train was COM
posed OF seven cars and carried 208
passengers. The Coast Line was a
lighter train with an even 100 pas
sengers. The Richmond 81 DanVille
made up three hours from Jackson
vile to Charlotte and was dead on
time when the Virginia Midland was
reached. Then hot boxes began to
bother the trainmen, and caused the
r. & d. to lose the race. The first
section of the B. s. ID. vestibule got
into Washington at 7:13 and at one
time, the racer was within eight
minutes of the first section. In the
race last week, the r. s. D. beat the
Coast Line Is minutes. The third
and decisive race is yet to be run. 1t
will be an exciting one.
