ACQUISITION OF PROFITS.

The question as TO whether hanks instead Of
the Government shall be allowed TO issue
notes, Is simply Question, for the present, as
TO who shall nave the profit Of the many
millions Of dollars annually accruing TO the
use OF this valuable privilege. The Govern
ment has this profit now, and tie banks want

The direct parties TO this contest are money

with tho belief that he had done some
good for these rule people. He certain.
ly suffered no pricks of conscience from
sense Of neglected duty Since his CON-
ing his daughter Ella had grown to bo
beautiful young woman. His life
focused in her. and in regarding her he
forgot that the heavy hand Of time was
bowling his own shoulders and bleach
ing his hair like snow.
Bradley. the blacksmith, who was
Mr.. Peters nearest neighbor, was a man
Of unusual physical strength, and be-
fore the coming of the preacher he had
been noted as q fighter. Indeed he was
credited with having killed more than
pne man. He had been shockingly bru.
Iai and profane and was known far and
near as strong Dick Bradley TO distin.
guish him from q cousin of the same
name, who was not quite so strong. II
the only good done by the clergyman
had been the conversion Of the black
smith, his work in the mountains might
well be considered a snccess. Bradley
no longer swore nor drank, nor had he
had fight for years. This remarkable
change, added TO the fact that he was a
man of few words, gave the impression
to many that religion had took all the
pluck and snap out Of strong Dick Brad

As the men in the hills all voted the
Democratic ticket. the most exciting
elections never created a ruffie among
them, but a. soon as it became known
that the southern states had seeded and
that war had come the stagnation was
broken up, and the mountaineers evinced
for the first time in their lives an awful
anxiety to learn what was going on in
the outside world. Bradley's blacksmith
shop became a headquarters at which
the war was discussed and men specu-
lated as TO the time when the strife
would come TO the hills, for they knew
it must come rs the only relief TO the
strain between the Union and disunion
