much more in unpaid interest up to date.
The officials of the Treasury De-
partment would be very glad to
have every loan paid within a week Of
lis maturity, for under the present condi-
ton the loan account is never closed. With
a view to keeping in touch with the Gov
ernment's creditors. these officials encour-
age bono buyers 10 take registered rather
thar coupon bonds. Very few registered
bonds are lost; and when there is a loss
the Government seeks out the loser and
encourages him to make application for
the issue of a duplicate. When a coupon
bond is lost the Government will not dupli-
cate il.
Money in Currency.
The profit made by the Government on
bonds is very small compared with the
profit on uuredeemed currency. OF course.
no one will ever know just what amount
Of currency has been destroyed. but the
treasury experts made an estimate for the
benefit Of Congress in the last admins
tration. and expressed the belief that
about S12,500,OOO profit had accrued to
the Government up to Jan. l, 1891, from
United States notes, gold and silver
certificates and national bank notes which
would not be presented for redemption.
This amount the experts distributed as
follows:
National bank notes ........ S6,394.555
United States notes ......... o,41O,541
Silver certificates .......... 447,004
Gold 80. 100000
Total ........ ...... ...Sl2,452.1O
This amount. these experts now esti-
mate. has been increased to about S15.-
100000. In proportion to the amount of
currency in circulation, the amount de-
stroyed is not so great now as it vas in
war times, but there is much more in cir
c~ulation now. The present estimated
profit of the Government on paper cur
rency destroyed is half a million dollars
every year, despite the fact that the treas
ury makes every effort to redeem all the
currency it issues. A special corps of ex-
perts is employed in the redemption divis-
ion to examine the mutilated currency
presented. 1t comes in, sometimes, In

SAVED BY HIS DOC.
How Hohlt Tried to Corral Herd Q, Buffaloes.


 The next time that Henry Hohlt goes out to interview his herd of buffaloes at Lincoln park he will probably gaze at it through the cracks Of the fence and not run the risk of having his epidermis perforated by pair of bovine horns The other afternoon he donned a suit of cowboy clothes cut by pattern approved by Texas Jack Crawford when he was here. Then he mounted fiery mustana and entered the inclosure where his buf. falees are kept to drive them into a cor raj. They objected vigorously, but Henry was not to be bluffed One old bull was particularly pugnacious and insisted upon making life burden for the mus tang. Several vigorous lunges at the mustang were avoided by the sensible animal with dispatch.
 A bulldog belonging to Mir Hohlt had been viewing the trouble #Aom afar Finally he seemed to have decided t0 take hand, so, with run only paral- leled by that celebrated squirt made bv Salisbury last fall at the same park he caught the bull by the nose and per formed few revolutions around his head as the old fellow gave it a twirl o1 two for luck. Having shaken the dog loose, the animal made wild dive for him. lie ni.ssed his prey and then start ed for tie horse. The latter stumbled and fell, precipitating his rider to the ground and rendering him unconscious. The bull then attacked the horse and killed him.
 The dog appeared to realize the posi- tion occupied by his unconscious master. lie attacked the bull i'll front and rear so consistently that the animal turned his attention from the horse to the dog. A wild chase followed, in which the dog gave one of the prettiest exhibitions of racing ever witnessed While the bull was engaged i'll following his little tor mentor some assistants of MT. Hohit saw his predieament and hastened to his rescue. He was still unconscious. and they were compelled to pick him up and carry him to the park house After re- storatives had been applied he was brought to the city. He is at his home on South Eleventh street under the care of physician. Fortunately no bones were broken, but he has some large and painful bruises on his person which will keep him in bed for several days. He was so sore last night that he was un- able to lift cup of coffee to his lips
 MT. Hohlt attributes his escape to the fidelity of his dog, which made it SC interesting for the buffalo that he was unable to dispatch the master when he had him down. Nebraska State Jour- nal
