On the first of the year the national
treasury showed that the actual cash
on hand was eight millions below the
working balance. The low condition
of the actual cash, it is believed, fore
shadows an early call upon the banks
for a return of part Of the government
deposits. And this in the face Of re-

Recollections of Old Montgomery HALE

Sam Oliver was my constant friend.
 He was expert in knulling tops and playing sweepstakes. His revenues from those sources he would frequently give to me. In that way I kept one of my pockets to my jacket filled with tops: the other. with marbles. Sam was Q sturdy. muscular boy, ready, alike, for fun or fight. There was a boy. much larger than Sam, with whom he had. on an average, about one fight a week. They were hav- ing words. one day. when the boy ex- claimed: My pa told me to whip you. and I'm going to do it!' Enough said; at 1t they went. Sam gave the boy a worse whipping than usual. always thought that he put in a few extra licks to pay for the extra "sass." Sam was my childhood's ideal. In my old age I think of him as one of the mo- blest persons I have ever known. He would befriend the little boy--he would fight the big boy.

I wouldn't have swapped him for circus bony. I became excited. I forgot all about school. forgot there was anybody in the world--only my pony and myself. I jerked the lines to encourage him to renewed effort. By an unlucky movement, I upturned my packet pocket loaded with marbles. They fell to the floor and scattered all over the room. The chatter the marbles made when they struck the my surroundings. The children were laughing. Wild with fright Faced toward the teacher. To my relief she. too. was laughing.

 "The committee respectfully sub
 mits this report. with an earnest rec
 ommendation that the association give to Lieutenant Maury their cordial CO.,
 operation and support, and that copy
 of this paper be transmitted to the
 honorable Secretary of the Navy. and
 to the Naval Committees of the Senate
 and the House of Representatives"
 This report and the interesting dis
 cussion which followed in It's intro
 duction, brought the whole matter of Maury's important work to the atten, tion of the Washington government.
 and a general maritime conference of
 the world was invited by the United
 States to meet in Brussels in 1853, and
 Lieutenant Maury was sent to repre-
 sent the United States. He recommend
 ed form of abstract log to be kept on
 board of all vessels owned by the na- tIons. and reports to be made to him as fast as the data could he gathered.
 From this material Maury charted the currents of the oceans and these charts were supplied the vessels carrying tHV
 commerce of the world. In 1856 he
 published his great work. "The Physi
 cal Geography of the Sea-" which was
 translated in many languages for the use of all mariners. For this work
 Maury received medals from England,
 France Holland, Russia, Norway. Aus
 tria. Prussia, Denmark. Belgium Port ugal, Sweden, Sardinia. and Bremen. France also made him member of the Legion of Honor and Humboldt declar- ed that he was the founder of new and important science.
 As a result of this work of Maury's.
 which was so cordially endorsed by the American Association at Charleston. the United States Weather Bureau had its initiation and impulse. The ob- servation of the weather. both on the land and on the sea. was made more systematic and soon became the busi- ness of the governments of the world. To Maury must be given the credit for | all this tremendous influence and power for good to the people now emanatinG from the National Weather BureauS
 How many girls and boys in South Car" oIina know who Lieutenant M. F.
 Maury is? How little Is seen about him in the histories taught In our schools and colleges this day, and yet he was one of the most distinguished men among all the people of the United States. not even excepting the great statesmen; for his work has
