How Yale Stood When the Foul


Occurred.


The Daily Press Of New Haven comments in this
way


The result seems to have been quite unsatlsfac-
tory, as Yale, who was expected TO win, was put
out OF the race at an early period by foul with
Harvard, by means OF when the rudder and an
oar were broken. From all the reports that have
come to hand It would appear that the Yale crew
were well 10 hand and were rapidly gaming on
their opponents when this unfortunate AFFAIR took
place, thus putting end to their chance OF WIN
ming. The judges VINO are reputed TO be candid.
impartial men, after careiui revision or the mat
ter DECIDED against tne claim Oh laie ior loui
and awarded the race to Columbia. The Ward
Brothers, the champion smen OF the world,
have Claimed all along during the pre- eiminary
training that this crew would be the winner, aud
the result seems to have justified their opinion.

Almost every person must at some
time or other have experienced the ut
ter misery of waiting in a bleak, DESC
late room for the appearance of the host
or hostess. The stiff. uniform angular
ity of everything the room contains re-
duces in a few moments the most gay
and sanguine disposition to a state of
abject dullness. The mind begins to
work ont mathematical problems with
the picture cords, or exhausts itself in
vain endeavors to discover if one of the
pictures is hung not quite parallel with
the pattern of the wall paper. The
whatnot does not offer any relief. There
are the same little parian images, aud
shells, and china of antique fashion,
that you have been accustomed to see
in other houses ever since you can re-
member anything. The specimens of
wool work and embroidery displayed
with agonizing regularity over the
backs of the chairs, or on the lounge,
an exact fac simile of those in the par
lors of at least a dozen of your ac-
quainiances. The little table, with the
absurdly crooked legs and marble top,
and the basket of wax-work-fruit under
the glass case, have long ago ceased to
charm. The lounge is one of double
ended pattern, and the least motion
sends you coasting down off the seat,
while the rigid rectangular chairs pre-
clude all ideas of comfort. Everything
Is so distressingly orderly that a speck
of dust would be positive relief, and
a remnant of last months newspaper q
treasure of untold value. People who
have no desire TO subject their friends
TO this ordeal, viii note what Scribner's
Magazine has to say on the subject


While you are arranging the parlor,
just have thought for the visitors who
must sometimes wait to see you, and
carefully refrain from putting every
object of interest beyond their reach.
OF course, as q careful hostess, you
never mean to keep callers waiting but
if they come when the baby is on the
eve of dropping TO sleep, or you are IN
the midst of planning a dinner with
the cook, you must delay a little, while
they are reduced to staring out the win
dow, or to an involuntary effort TO pen
citrate some insignificant household
secret. The family photograph album
IS usually regarded as q sufficient re
source in moments like these but is
there not something akin to indelicacy
in allowing strangers and ordinary ac-
quaintences to turn over the likenesses
Of our nearest and dearest; perhaps to
eriticise them with the freedom of unfa-
miliarity, or the unsympathy natural to
a lack OF personal appreciation The
lat magazines, q book of good engTav-
ings, @ household volume of poetry, a
stereoscope and views, photographs Of
foreign scenes, and a dozen other
things, are ali good aids TO the occupa-
ton Of stray minutes. Moreover, they
often suggest to the visitor and hest
topics of conversation more profitable
and interesting than the state of the
weather or the hist ~ of the kitchen.

Tyveufy-fFe Millions A AfFdffforni rgatfnr,aI


Bank Bank Siresliatson to be Authorised foE


The law of 1872, which authorized
6fty-four million dollars of additional
currency, provided / n the sixth section
that when the fifty. four millions shall
have been taken mp. the controller OF
the currency shall withdraw from the
banks IN the eastern states having pro
rata excess of circulation, their proper
tionate amount, to be distributed in the
western and southern states. All this
circulation has been allotted to banks
applying therefor, bTlt the full amount
has not yet been issued. The controller
has held that he had no power to exc.
cute the provisions of the law relative
to a withdrawal of twenty-five million
dollars from the east until every dollar
of the fifty-four millions was issued.
The law makes no provision by which
he could compel the banks to which
this was assigned to deposit their bonds
as security for circul alton, and to com
ply with the other conditions pFeeedent
which should entitle them to receive
their circulation. There remain about
"a, 000, ,000of the S54, coo coo unassigned.
and 1t is presumed that the Issue there
of will be soon completed. The con.
troller will then be compelled to make
his requIsitien upon the eastern banks
for the twenty-five millions excess, who
will have one year in which to comply.
In case of the failure to comply, the
secretary of the treasury is directed to
sell enough of their bonds pledged as
security for their circulation to cnnble
him to realize from the proceeds thereof
the amount equivalent to the amount of
national bank notes to be Withdrawn

rency has been directed to examine this

millions of additional banking circula-
tion to be allotted to the west and
south, and also repeating the section IN
the act of 1872, providing for the with
drawing of the twenty-five millions. It
is highly probable that the banking and
currency committees will adopt this
report. 1t is conceded by some of the
hard-money men who have canvRssed
the house and senate upon these ques-
tions, that this bill will pass, and also
the bill legalizing the issue of the forty
