THE CURRENCY. Extracts from Controller Knox's Keport. Controller of the Curreuoy Knox reports the Drganlxvtion of 262 banks for the year ending with last month, leaving 2,522 in operation, tlw system cxtondug into every territory. Tho bonds outstanding, which can only be redeemed by purchase in tho market, aggregate $1,052,. 670,062. The Government hi Kalned about $4,000,000 by the accidental destruction of bank notes, and the whole cost of the system in twenty years has been bnt $5,010,000. Controller Knox thinks the true policy to avoid contraction of bunk circulation Is to reduce the redundant revenue. As to the extension ot the corporate existence of National banks, the Controller says: At the date of my last report the corporate existence of eighty-six National banks had expired, and thirty of those banks bad extended thoir existence under tlio act of July 12, 1882, fifty-two banks went into voluntary liquidation, and were succeeded by otherassoclalious organized in place thereof, chiefly previous to the act of July 12, 1882, which authorized the extension of tho oornorato existence for a now period of twenty years of National banks whose franchises wero abont to terminate. Tho fonr remaining banks expired by limitation, and did not effect new oreanlzations. The number of National banks organized under the act of Fob. 25, 1SB8, which wore In ojeratlon at tho date of my last report In December was 307, Of those tanks, 273 have extended their corporate cxistonce under the aot of July 12. 1882, seventeen have been place'l in liquidation by rote of shareholders of the bank, and four havo expired by limitation. All of tticso banks which havo been placod In liquidation and nave cxGired by limitation, with the exception of two, avebcen suooeeded by new associations, organized in the same localities with different titles. Tho whole number of banks now in operation which organized under tho act of June 3, 18U, whose periods of succession will terminate during each year previous to l'.w i, is 193. The number, capital and circulation of banks expiring in 1884 and 1885 is as followsYears. No. of banks. Capital. Circulation. 1884 249 $ B;i,611,57i) $ 60,526,8i5 185 727 185,036,715 121,807,150 As to the relation of tlio banks to the bonds, the Controller of tho Currency says: The averaeo rate of interest now paid by tho United States on the bonds deposited as security for circulating notes is about 3'j per cent, upon their par value, but it is equal to about 3.19 per cent, only ot the current niarkot value of tho bonds. The banks now bold $41,000,000 of ia, fl06,ooo,ooo of 4s, and $2i,ooo,o00 of 3 per cents, which have been refunded from 83 ir cent. More than one-half of the bonds now held by tho National banks are 3 per cents. If the nubile debt continues to be paicl as rapidly a it has been during tho past all of these bonds will certainly be called within the next three years.

WAR, Synopsis of Secretary Lincoln's Beport. Tho renort of the Secretary of War idves a

pre.ty full history of the operations of his department, but has not much to offer in the way of active military operations. After referring to the retirement of Gen. Sherman from command of the army tho Secretary says that the only active employment of troops was in the brief Apache campaign last summer under Gen. Crook. He adds: As for some time past the only Indian outbreaks have been in Arizona, special attention has been directed to an endeavor to secure for that region of the country the same quiet which exists elsewhere. After careful consideration of tbe difficulties involved, an arrangement has been made between the Interior department and the War department, under which the police control of all

the Indians on tne an carios reservation nas been given to Gen. Crook, and he has been charged with the duty of keeping the neaoe on the reservation and nreventinir the Indians trom

leaving it. Gen. Sherman expresses the belief

that 11 uon. urooK is permitiea to manago me Apaches in his own way, all wars will cease in Arizona, and that with them will disappear the complicated Indian question which has tested the patience and courage of our people ever since the first settlement by whites on this continent; The number of desertions from tho army In the past year was nearly 3,600; only a few less than the ertraordlnarv number of tho Year be

fore. As a means of checking t he evil, the Secretary recommends that tbe pyof enlisted men

be raised to fie a montn. ne also rccommenas that enlisted men be retired on full pay after thirty-five years' continuous service. The whole number of national cemeteries now under the care ot the Quartermaster's Department is eighty-three, containiug 321.369 intormente. There has been som delay in prosecuting the work of providing headstones for the soldiers' graves in private, village, and city cemoteriee, but the work will be continued until broucht to a satisfactory close. Referring to the improvements at the month of the Mississippi river, the Secretary says: The last annual report of this department brought the history or this work to Sept. 9, 1882. During the fonr quarters ending Sept. 9, 1883, there was no failure of maintenance of the channel. From Sept. 10, 1882, to Sept. 9, 1883, both dates inclusive, four quarterly payments tor maintenance, amounting to $100,000, and two semi-annual payments of Interest on tbe $1,000,000 retained, amounting to $50,000, were made, the total expenditure for the improvement to the latter date being $4,850,000. , A considerable portion of tho report is given to a history of the Proteus expedition, but beyond a mero recital ot tbe facts the Secretary does not go, as a court of inquiry is now in session Investigating the causes of the failure of the expedition. Referring to the militia the Secretary says: "I earnestly recommend that the attention of Congress be invited to tho subject of Riving substantial onconragoment to the formation of volunteer militia organizations in every State, and in tbe District of Columbia, by liberal appropriations to supply the neosesary arms, equipments, tents, ammunition, and other ordnance stores. With our small standing army our main dependence for publio defense must be on onr militia; and th3 wisdom of the comparatively small expenditures which would encourage their organization and their e.iicicncy In drill and discipline seems app went. In the last Congress a bill on this subject was reported from the Senate Committee on Military Affairs (S. 1590) bv which it was contemplated that, in lien of the annual sura of $200,909 provided by the aot of tho 23d of April, 1806, the sum of $600,000 should be annually appropriated, the purposes for which it should be used being more extended than under tho provisions of the old act. A careful consideration of this proposed aot loids to the belief that its enactment would be a great public benefit, and I strongly recommend the passage of such a law."

A Good Suggestion, What a lot of discussion would be prevented if the railway companies would put up signs at all the crossings of the roads. At all the railroad crossings the passengers ask each other: "What road io that?" The varieties of answers recoived are astonishing. But then if there wero some signs or other marks that would answer this question, a groat proportion of tho traveling public would have nothing to talk about. Fort Wayne Hoosier.

Abstract of tbe Report of the Secretary of the Treasury. The roport of Score tary Folgor for the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1883, shows that the ordinary revenues of the Government, for the yea wore as follows: Customs, $214,706,497! interna revenue, $144,720,369; sales ot publio land $7,95,804: direct tax, $18,157; miscellaneous $30,796,695; total, $398,287,682. Ordinary ex penscs: Civil and miscellaneous, $68,678,022 War'dcpartment, $18,911,383; Navy department $16,283,437; Indians, $7,362,590; pensions, $66,012.574; interest on publio debt, $59,160,132; total, $265,408,i!t8, leaving a surplus revenuo of !,879,44. This is $7,309,00 more than Mr. Folgor estimated that tho surplus would amount to in his last annual report. Compared with tho previous fiscal year, the receipts for 1883 have decreased, in customs $5,704,233; in internal revenue, $1,777,226; in direct tax, $51,986, and in miscellaneous, $906.618. They have increased in sales of publio lands $3,202,721. Total decrease, $12,661,367. The expenditures show an increase over the year before of $7,526,697 Tho expenditures of the War department increased $5,400,000; for the Navy department, f20,000, and for pensions nearly $5,000,000, while the Interest on tho public debt decreased almost $12,000,000. Since tho last annual roiwrt the sot of March 3, 1883, diminished the sources of internal revenue anil changed the tariff law, so that tho estimate made a year ago must be entirely revised. Then the receipts expected from Internal revenue were $145.000,0110. Now tho estimated revenue Is $12,00;i,000. Tho receipts from customs have fallen off proportionately. For the fonr months cndlutr Nov. 1, the total receipts were $124,369,985: for tho corresponding months of last year they were $114,952,932. For tho amo periods the expenditures wero $89918.200 and $!8,706,661. By the payment ot $207,000,000 of the publio debt, tho charge for interest will bo greatly reduced. It is probable that the receipts will be abont $350,000,000 for tbe fiscal year 1884, while the expenditures will amount to $265,600,000, leavinit a surplus of $S3,00,000 over and alxive the sinking fund. During tho lat fiscal year the bonds retired amounted to $131,009,750, Since then $38,374,000 of 3 per cents havo been paid, and $40,000,000 more have been called. Of this last sum, $5,000.000 has been met already, and is included in ths $38,874,000. The Secretary attain calls the attention of Congress to the fact that tin receipts of the Government aro greatly in excess of its needs. The dangers ot this large surplus to the money market will be dwelt upon, and ths Secretary will say t hat there is no method of disbursing this surplus except by payment of tbe publio debt, rayment of tho public debt; however, is nowlujurious to the national banking system. When all the outstanding calls are paid, tho 3 Per cents, will bo reduced to tho neighborhood of $280,090,000, and of this the banks hold abont $200,000,000. If payment of the publio debt is to bo permitted to go on. even this year, as it has during the last fiscal year, the existence of a Rood many national banks is threatened, and this means a sensible contraction ot the currency. If the income of the Government remains as it is, the Secretary of tho Treasury will call at least $50,000,000 more of bonds before the end of the fiscal year, and by tlio end of the fiscal year 1885 more than half tbe banks holding 3's as security for circulation would have to replace them v,ich i's at a great premium or retire their ckjulation, and thus contract the currency. In discussing toe mode of reducing the revenues, tho Secretary opposes the abolition of tho internal-revenue tax. It is estimated that this tax will yield under the present law $120,000,000, and this is at least $35,000,000 more than the revenue can be decreased. A decrease of the tax on tobaeco and spirits does not necessarily argue a smaller revenue, as experience has often fonnd. Therefore, tho Secretary recommends a still further reduction of customs duties, after a proiicr inquiry shall have developed what articles can best stand the reduction. Sugar, at least, the Secretary thinks, ought to pay a much smaller duty than It now does, The Secretary is embarrassed by tho new law which has so recently been passed that it would seem proper to give it a further trial before endeavoring to change it, but it has not accomplished the purposes which he desired to effect when he last year recommended that a reduction of rerenue be made by a revision of tho tariff that ehouid reduce the duties on sugar, Iron, steel, woolens and wool, cottons and raw material. Therefore these recommendations must lie substantially renewed, for the dangers ot a large surplus are oven more threatening than they were before the passage of the Tariff aot. The Secretary calls attention to the suggestions mado by Comptroller Knox, that the rate of issue of national bank notes be increased to 90 per cent, of tho market value of the bonds, and that the 4's be refunded in 3's, the holders receiving a premium in satisfaction for the resultant loss of Interest.

THE POSTOFFICE.

Postmaster General Gresham's Beport, Tho report of tho Postmaster General is very full and comprehensive. He estimates the revenue of the department Tor tho fiscal year ending June 30, 1665, at $17,104,078, and its expenditures at $50,062,189. leaving a defleienoy to be supplied out of tho Treasury ot $2,958,111. This deficiency will be caused, it is thought, by the reduction of postage, but t he roport suggests that figures aro purely conjectural. The free delivery system has bceu largely ox tended during the year, and is now in operation at 154 offices. The total appropriation for this service was $3,200,000, Including a special appropriation of $200,003 to carry out tbe provisions of the act ot Aug. 2, 18S2, an increase of $576,000 over that of the preceding year. The total cost of tho service was $1,173,336.51, leaving an unexpended balance of $26,663.49. The increase of the cost over the preoeding year was $559,073.77. The present status of tho Star service shows for 1883 a cost Of $1,739,478, with 77,998,762 miles of annual transportation, against a cost of $7,321.499, with 76,070,995 miles of annual transportation in 1880, being an Increase from 1880 ot l,-'7,787 miles of transportation and $2,582,021 doorcase In cost. This service is now all performed under contracts made upon proposals submitted in response to advertisements. An interesting statemen- , showing the development and cost of tlie railroad service from its commencement until Juno 30, 1883, is presented. It is the general opinion that the rates of pay have been greatly increased of late years; the fact is othorwisu. The cost per mile of transportation in 1854 was 11.4 cents; in 1883, notwithstanding the enormous increase in weight of mails and the superior facilities provided for distribution, the cost is 10.76 cents per mile. On the 30th of last June there were 5,927 money-order offices in operation, whose transactions during the year, of domestic orders issued, amounted to $117,329,409.31, and of domestic orders paid and repaid to $117,341,281.78: of International orders issued to $7,717,822.11, and of International orders paid and repaid to $3,063,187.05; a grand total in issues of $125,017,328.42, and in payments and repayments cf $120,407,468.83. The fees received in domestio orders Issued aggregated $1,101,821.60, and on international orders $170,238.80 a total Of $1,272,060.90. The gains were, In domestic transactions, about 3'i percent., and in international transactions from 1.85 to over 66 per cent ; in domestic fees about 4"a per cent,, and in international fees from .66 to over .54 per cent. The Postmaster General opposes the proposed reduction of postage on drop letters from 2 conts to 1, on tbe ground that it would Increase the cost of the carriers service and lead to a clamor for its extension, but he is in favor of increasing the single rate limit on all letters from a half ounce to an ounoe. He also recommends that the rate of postage on transient newspapers and periodicals be fixed at 1 cent for every three onnoes, instead of 1 cent for every two ounces as now. On the subject of postal telegraphy, tho Postmaster General Is diffuse. He says: "From the best consideration which 1 have been enabled to bestow upon the subject, I have reached tho conclusion that Congress has ths constitutional power iu providing for the postal ?ervico of the country to avail itself ot all the facilities devised by the Inventive genius of modern times for transmitting messages and intelligence, and that it hvi full authority to adopt cither of the first two plans whloh I nave mentioned. "The establishment and operation of a postal telegraph as a monopoly, or in competition with private companies, would, it is insisted, reduce rates which are now exorbitant and protect tbe public against the abuses and evils deemed to bo inseparable from the service a-s it exists. In either event an enormous expense must be incurred. But without dwelling upon that consideration, it is clear that an efficient execution of cither plan will necessarily involve the employment of a multitude of operators, messengers, mechanics, and laborers, and thus largely add to the patronge of tho Government, An increase of that patronage beyond what is indispensable to tho publio service is to be deprecated and avoided, and it is one of the dangers which threaten the purity and duration of our institutions. In Euroi 0 the telegraph is under the control of the public authorities. With us, the administration is tho Government in action, and may, for the time being and for all practical purposes, bo considered the Government itself. In seasons ot political excitement, and, to some extent at other times, is there not ground for serious apprehension that the tolegraph, under tho exclusive control of the dominant party, might be abused to promote partisan purposes and perpetuate tho power of tno admlnlstrationr But If it could bo kept entirely free from such Influence, I should hesitate tu sanction a measure providing that tho Unlto4 States shall become tho proprietor of telegraph lines, and operate them by its officers and agents."

Adopting Grandpa. An old man not ragged, but dad In old ail faded and time-worn garments, and moving with foeble steps aud weary air sat down under a troe to rest 0 bit Three or four children were playiug in tlie yard at his back,aud directly a mite of a girl looked through tho feuoe and asked: "Would you hurt a little girl i" "Bless mo, no!" ho replied. "Why, Pd even step aside to pass a bug or a worm! No, child, I wouldn't hurt a hair of vour head for all the money in tlie world." "Are you anybody's grandpa?" she inquired) as the other cauldron crowded up. "No not now, child. There was a time dear roe! but it hurts my old heart to remember it when children called me grandpa. It was years ago years and years, but I can almost hear their voices yet." "Be you crying?" ".-110. Tlie toar.i will spring up as I recall tho past, but I'm not crying. There are days when I con't keep 'em back nighfs whn I am a child, but I'm trying to bp strong just now." "I guess I'll come out and see you. My doll's broko her neck and is most dead !" "Come right along, child ! I used to mend legs aud arras and necks when tho children brought their dolls to me." The little one passed through tho gate and sat down beside the poor old man, and while ho sought to save tho life of tho "most dead" doll by means of a stick and a string the child observed : "You must be quito old, grandpa; you are all skin and bone. " "Old? Bless you, yes! I was 81 only a week or two ago. Yes, I'm poor in flesh as well as in purse." "So your gmndchildren had dolls, eh?" "Yes, dear dolls and toys and fine clothes and books and everything they wanted. I was rich then." "And did they comb your hair!" "Oh, yea." "And sing to you?" "Yes." "Well, I guess 111 sing you a song, for I'm going to ask ma if I can't adopt vou as my grandpa. You must excuse tj.v voice, for I swallowed a pin the other day and ma expects it to work out of my shoulder this fall. I guess I'll sing abont tho three little graves. Don't look at me or I shall forget." And in a voice full of childish quavers, and frequently stopping as if io swallow some of tbe words, she sung: "t'nder an elm three 1 ttle graves I'uder Ue s -d my children thre; The years may pas, but my heart will gricye Ai d s -now wfll ever icst with me. Under the elm I walked to-day, I looked ." "Why, grandpa, the tears aro just running down your checks! " " Y-yes, child I can't help it! My poor old life U full of graves and jrii'fs!" "Is your wifo dead? " "Long ao, ehild." "And all tho children? " Dead or scattered. I am all alone." " Well, that's funny. You can wipe your eyes on my apron, if you want to. ' " Here's your doll gootl as new." " That's nice. If I should adopt you I'd havo you mending dolls all the time. Havo you got over crying? " Yes. child." "Well, then, you must ba hungry. I'm always hungry after a good ery. .Vait a minute." Sho ran iisto tho houso to return with a generous slice of bread and butler and a piece of inear, and as she handed tho food to the old man sho said : " I've got to go in now, but well remember that I havo adopted you as my grandpa." Don't cry any more, and come back to-morrow. Oood-by, grandma." " Good-by." Anil men who passed by saw an old man with his face in his hands to hide his tears, and when they asked the matter, a child who stood by explained : " Why, sir, he's crying because he's all alone in the world, and a little girl has adopted him. "Detroit Free Pres. Brother Jonathan. " You havo told us about Uncle Sam," said a bright boy at my elbow, "now can you not introduce the original Brother Jonathan V So I consulted the "Dictionary of Americanisms," and found something like the following: When Gen. Washington, after being appointed commander of the army of tho Revolutionary war, went to Massachusetts to organize it, he discovered a great want of ammunition, and it seemed as if no means could be devised for the defense and safety of the troops and country. The cider Jonathan Trumbull was then Governor of the State of Connecticut; and Washington, who relied with the utmost confidence upon tho Governor's judgment, remarked: "Wo must consult Brother Jonathan on the subject." This was done, and his Excellency succeeded in supplying many of tho exigencies whioh existed. Afterward, when fresh difficulties arose, the remark of Gen. Washington was remembered and repeated until it became a by-phrase, and later a designation for the whole country, Neiv York Examiner. Lost $200,000 on One dame.

His father thought that the only way to mako a boy appreciate a fortune was to give him nothing at all: so that the boy, it is said, hardly was given food onough, and sometimes went around the markets hungry and asking help. At last ho received million dollars, but tho gambling passion broke out in him and some sharpers took from him about a fifth of his fortuno, and it was only discovered when he brought suit for 'tlie lost few thousands, which, according to his education, seemed doarer to him thn the previous bulk of money ho had silently pail up.
