Ed. Register-After the dryest Spring
ever known in this sectional least to
the present generation-the drOuth
was broken by light rain on June
10th. On the 18th. a heavy rainfall
was precipitated and, before it ceased,
the ground was thoroughly saturated
and all growing crops-excepting
wheat-greatly benefited. 1t rained
during a portion of every day and night
until the 21st inst, and since then we
have had several showers. Wheat
that had been cut and shocked before
the harvest rainfall. was considerably
damaged by the want OF sunshine to
quickly dry it.
Though meadows and oats were, in
many cases, almost ruined by the
drouth, they were in all cases consid-
erably benefited. In a few cases the
meadows-on naturally moist ground,
and where they were irrigated. will
yield about as we'll as they did last
year.
Corn, in all sections of the country,
withstood the protracted drouth re-
markably we'll. Though stunted in
growth, it retained, in almost every
instance. a good color and the heavy
rains came just in time to assure US a
fairly good crop of corn, if we have a
few more copious rains within the next
ten weeks. The earlier kinds of vege-
tables were well-nigh ruined for the
want of rain, but most of the later
kinds are thriving now. In short,
plant-growth, of all kinds now season
able, presents thrifty, vigorous ap-
pearance and farmers, far and near,
rejoice at the prospect of yet being re-
munerated-to some extent-fOr their
arduous labors.
The wheat-crop-though injured to
a considerable extent..by drouth. chinch-
bugs and Hessian flies, is far better
here than it is in many sections of the
State that usually excel our best yields
of wheat. In few instances. in fact,
wheat this season is about as good
as it ever was in this locality.
News items are exceedingly scarce
here; this is partly due to the busy
season-everybody is doing what all
farmers must do-and hence his do
ings are not a matter of news.

Money and Its Uses.

The banker is dealer in money, as
the grocer is dealer in provisions.
Money is his ware, from the handling
of which he derives an income, and if
he be capable man it is usually a
very comfortable one. There are but
two kinds of banks: Banks OF issue
and those not of issue. & In the United
States, banks of issue are practically
confined to National Banks. A Nation
al Bank is virtually private institu-
ton under government supervision.
The government gives it the money it
puts into circulation. The only in
vestment the banker is compelled to
make is OF government bonds. on which
the government gives him ninety cents
in National Bank notes for every dol
lar of bonds he deposits, and the inter-
est thereon. In other words, if A has
a hundred thousand dollars of Govern
ment four-per-cent. bonds. he can de-
post them with the government, re-
ceive ninety thousand dollars in Ma
tional Bank notes with which to run
his bank, and four thousand dollars
per year interest on his bonds; and at
the closing of his business his hundred
thousand of bonds back again. 1t will
be seen from this why the National
Banks SO bitterly oppose the State Bank
system, or any other system but their
own. Almost any one would go into
business If the government would fur
nish the capital without charge. Banks
of issue receive deposits and make
loans, just as other banking institutions
do. The banker, In common with 9TH
ers who follow a particular profession,
or deal in a particular line of goods,
desires. above all things else, to con-
troll the market. In other words. he
desires to control the supply of money
and bends his energies to that end.
Any supply of money coming to the
people through any other source than
himself is distasteful to him. Hence
his opposition to the free coinage OF
silver. for the supply of money is not
SO easily controlled when 1t flows from
two classes of mines as it is when the
supply from one class is cut of. If
there should be q vast increase in the
production of gold, bankers would use
every means in their power to shut off
this supply of money OF final payment.
There is a certain source of profit in
using bank notes not usually taken in
to the account. A five-dollar bank
note is only the banks promise to pay
FIVE dollars in lawful money. If this
note is destroyed before presentation
for payment. the bank makes five dol
lars. To illustrate: John Jones goes
to bank and borrows one hundred
dollars; the bank pays him twenty five
dollars bills of its own issue; Jones
pays this money to Brown; Browns
house burns, and with it the hundred
dollars paid him by Jones; the bank is
never called upon to redeem its notes.
and consequently makes the hundred
dollars clear, for Jones has borrowed
it upon good security and meets his
payment promptly. In the course of
time the whole of q particular issue is
destroyed, as all things tend to disin-
tegrate and go back to mother earth;
and the bank 10 . gamer thereby.
It will be found that If the present

Scientists and electricians cannot agree
upon the number of electric volts which
are necessary to cause cessation Of life

excessive shock is more likely to cause in
cineration rather than instantaneous
death, but if they would turn their alton
ton to prolonging and increasing the
pleasure OF life, the public would hail the
result with more satisfaction. For in
stance, the electricity generated in a wave
of laughter is after all the most pleasant
shock, and to see large assemblage
