Such was the title of the second Lecture
delivered by Ex-Gov. W. A. German, before
the St. Paul Mercantile College, on Saturday
Evening, from which we give few condensed
extracts:


The Lecturer commenced with the origin
of the word. Bank" 1t is of Italian origin.
In the infancy of European Commerce the
Jews in Italy were in the habit of meeting at
the principal cities, and taking their seats on
bench, ready to lend money, and the word
bank is derived from the Italian word 6anco,
bench. When one of them failed, his bench
was broken-hence the word bankrupt.
Gold and Silver being inconvenient to trans
port, bills of Exchange are used instead
Thus the deposite of coin remains untouched,
and instead of having to 60 to your creditor
in New York and carry him bulky amount
of coin, you send the draft and save the ex-
pense of travel, and loss of time. This facili-
tates commerce.


These bills of Exchange, said the Lecturer,
are the SEEMING origin of the use of Banks of
issue and circulation. Money is plenty in
the country when no more can be pro6tably
employed in active productive industry. La
borers arestoo abundant likewise when there
is not enough employment for them, and both
money and labor 60 where employment can
be had. When productive Industry is idle
for want of laborers, that kind of capital is too
scarce.


Paper money will not only increase the
price of production, but stimulate to excessive
importation, and the currency leaves " 10 pay

A SUCTION WELL At STOCKToy.-
For some time past an experiment has
been in progress of boring for water in

A New Military Route TO the Pacific
Suggestcd-Thc- Secretary of war, in
his late report, while discussing militia
ry roads, proposes new route to the
Pacific and suggests that it should be
explored. He says:


"A very large, and think, important
portion of our territory, lying North and
West of the Black Hills, towards the
sources of the Missouri and tributaries
coming in from the south side Of it is
almost wholly unknown Fl ought to be
explored. | have but little hesitation
i'll saying that a most important inter
communication between the Mississippi
valley, and the river Oregon will yet he
opened, and probably, at no distant day,
either through the country spoken of or
little .rther north. upon line extend
ing from Lake Superior along upon the
waters of the upper Missouri to those of
the Oregon. AT all events, we need
much information in regard to this coun-
Try. which nothing but careful explora-
ti"n can give. There are strong grounds
TO believe that between the waters of tho
Missouri aud those OF the river Oregon
portage of not more than four hundred
miles intervenes. If this should turn
out to he true and the grouud should be-
suitable for the construction Of a road
this route will be eventually one of the
most important yet discovered between
the Atlantic and Pacific for military pnr-
poses. Other regions of interest and
Importance, Of which we know next to
nothing, require to be explored"

Country boys often feel that their lot is
hard one. They see city-bred youngsters on
their travels and their spreeS at the age of
fourteen; veritable young gentlemen, with a
finished exterior, segar and cane. The
young farmer at the same age finds himself
with hoe in hand, and cheap STRAW hat on
his head, sweating among the hills of corn.
He is frequently enviouS OF his city brother
whisking past HIM in the cars with kid gloves,
delicate rngletS and plenty of none, in his
pocket. Mind your corn. boy hoe it out
clean; keep steadily to the labor yon have in
hand do il well, and in time your good days
will come too. If you find farming is not
suited to your strength, or circumstances if
you like mechanism better, or have capacity
for busineSss, whatever eventually you may
engage in, it is all the same, You bave begun
right. The city blades have begun wrong,
and in due time you will see it. Their fathers
and mothers will in the end see 1t too. Do
not feel envious OF the pleasures that a hot
house man Enjoys but remember, not in 4
malicious but sober spirit, that such plants
wither early. BY the time you have acquired
fixed habits of industry and acquired a
responding perfection of mind and body, your
dclicatcly reared contemporary of the town be-
gins to feel the debilitating effects OF idlcness
and dissipation. He is not alone to blame for
weak body and protitleSS mind it is the re-
suit of false system; but he cannot escape
from its effect; these he must endure for him
self in his own person. HIS father may be
professional man merchant, or he may be
merely rich the chances are fifty against one
that the son will not replace his father. Such
is the result of we'll settled experience busi-
ness falls into the hands of those who are
most competent it does not descend to heirs.
1t is the country boys, after all, who do the
city business. Observing men have often
stated this fact; and inquire into the origin
of Cincinnati, or Boston, or New York, you
will find it to be so. All external circumstan-
ces are in favor OF the son the clerk sue
ceeding to the trade of the old firm bnt tho
son seldom, almost never, dies in the position
of a partner of the house. Why is it (? Sim
ply because habitual industry is wanting. ha-
btual induence if not wanting. With all the
external odds against it, the country furnishes
the cities their principal business men. If
intelligent, faithful and persevering, and,
above all, cheerful and contented, the chances
are that the lad with the hoe will eventually
do the business of the father OF the lad in
gloves, who is now luxuriating IN his travels.
