CCBREXT PERIODICALS.

Si Tbe third number of the Boston magrazine, American Art, is a itifficient improvement upon the first iesues to reassure those who doubted whethvr this venture was of a character to fill the wftvt for such a publication supposed to exist A . unity of purpose is manifest in this which was lacking in the others, and there ia tot a suggestion of a haphazard arrangement f contents. lllutrated papers on current art topics by well-known artists show that, as claimed for it, the magazine has professional support and recognition. The ediiorial departments, including a monthly record of art and advice concerning homo decoration, are interesting. The supplement pages consist of a photogravure reproduction of rose-s from a painting by Albert Graves; a wood eneraving, "Good Morning. " after Walter Sherlaw, and a crayon portrait of the artist Whistler, by Paul Rajon. Published at 110 Tremont street, Boston. The Grammar School is tho title of a monthly ? magazine of instructive reading for young peo'v 'pie, if sued 07 the Interstate Publishing Company, of Chicago and Boston. The contents are of a miscellaneous character, and inelude stories, bits of history and scrao3 of scientific information. The selections are all from the best authors, and have the advantage over the ordinary school readers of being fresh mattr, and therefore of greater interest to the children who use them. The same house issues a primary and intermediate magazine, the subscription prices of which are SO cents cer rear each. The rice of

Of other contributions perhaps the one which will attract most readers is a dissertation upon comets and meteors, by Professor Langley. William M. Sloan gives an interesting sketch of George flcroft, a striking portrait of whom forms the ironiispiece 01 mn magazine, me ncuon, poetry and editorial departments are of the usual character and interest. In Babyhood for January a medical contributor treats of the causes and prevention of chronic diseases of the throat in children in a clear and practical way, which mothers will not fail to appredato and fio d useful. Other childish ailments are also treated of in this number, and various nursery problems are considered from the maternal stand-point. These, together with a collection of anecdotes concerning precocious infants, make up a magazine which is doubtless of absorbing interest to parents, though it 'may have few attractions for other Masses of readers. 5 Beekman street. New The New Princeton S837, contains several Review for January, interesting articles by well known writers. The topics handled are all of a serious character, relating to current questions inhe literary, political or social world, and are handled in an able manner.

A MATTEK OF JCGS. A Scene at an Express Office in a Prohibition Town. Atlanta Constitution. "Wonder if there will be any liquor in town this Christmas?" asked a man, in a sad tone, at the depot, yesterday. 'v ell, if youll lust come over to the express office you will find out," said Colonel Hulbert, the well-known Southern express agent. The scene in the express office was a novel and peculiarly interesting one. In the main office, about the general delivery window, was as pro miscuous, lamming a crowd as ever gathered to gether. It was made up of men and boys, and every phase of life was represented. The rich man, the poor man, the man in easy circum stances, and the needy man, were all there. The young and old, the strong and crippled, the black and the white. were mingled together in profusion and confu sion, each awaiting bis turn at the window, rne window 13 located at a bend in the counter, near the door. Men were in reeular line on each side of the window, and a third line stretched oat in front Only a sinele person could be waited upon at "ne time, and after being accommodated he would make room for another. Colonel Hul bert stood just inside the delivery window, and as a man presented himself said: Weill" "I want a jug for John " Colonel Hulbert hurried back to a small trap door leading into the basement, and bending down, called out: "Pope, a jug for John "Pope," who was the well-known Pope Cul berson down in tne basement, found a lug di rected to John and handed it ud through the hole. Colonel Hulbert handed the jug through the window, and as the man, with a broad erin, accepted it and backed out through the crowd, the Colonel remarked to the next man: "Well?" "A package for John , from Philadelphia, please?" "The next window further down," answered the Colonel, turning to the next man. All day long this went on. Hundreds and hundreds of times Colonel Hulbert remarked, well" to the man outside the window, and just as many times he walked across the room, and, stoopine down, asked for a jug. As the day wore on the crowd increased, and when the office was closed last night men went away unsupplied. No such jam has ever been seen in the express office as was seen yesterday, and no such mixed crowd was ever drawn together in Atlanta. The scene in the office was not the only inter esting feature of the day at the express omce. The basement portion of the building is used by the express company also, and down in its cool atmosphere an equally interesting event was transpiring. In the basement the jugs were stored away. And the medley of jugs was equalled only by the crowd in waiting above. Mr. Pope Culberson was in charge of the jug plant, and a large plant it was. Mr. Culberson has reduced the jug handling business to a science. On the wall of the buildin e ho had painted each letter of the alphabet The letters were about a foot apart, and almost reached across one end of the building. The jugs had been classified, as it were, immediately upon their receipt Those addressed to Mr. Alexander and the other A's were in a straight line from the letter A, and those addressed to Mr Smith and the other S's were lined out from that letter. Some of the letters had few jugs on guard while others had a row half across the basement The jugs, however, were not uniform in size, neither were they all jugs. Some were hardly laree enough to hold a (rood big drink, while others were as large as a beer keg. Some were round and some were fiat Some were packed in boxes and some in barrels, and same were not packed at all. In the layout there were jugs, bottles, boxes, tin cans and leather pouches. Even the oil can with a potato over the spout was there. "Well, how's thus for a prohi town?" asked M Cnlberson, as a reporter approached him. "On, don't know. Been busy to day?'' "Well, yes, kinder. See what we have eot scattered over the floor now a couple hundred jugs only. But the stock is down. Ought to have been here directly after the noon train came in." "Been dishing them ont all day this wav? asKed the reporter, as Air. uuioerson handed a jue through the trap-door. "Well, 1 just came in, but those three men youjsee here have been at it all day." Jug after jug disappeared through the hole, and after watching the process awhile tho re porter went up stairs, and approaching one of the bill clerks, asKed: "How many people are in here now?'' "Oh, let's see,'' naid the clrk, scanning the crowd; "about about 125 or 150, I guess. Fully 100, anyhow." "How many of them come for joes?" "Oh, about four out of every five, I should judge." "How many jugs have you been getting daiiyr "This week close on to two hundred and fifty to three hundred each day until to-day. To-day I have no idea how many, and to-morrow wil be more.

THIS BANK QUESTION.

Senator John Sherman Discusses Financial Affairs in a Letter to Boston Merchants. - T nMVi c.f. . Ilia banking system has realized all the good that has ever been claimed for it by its authors. It has furnbhed the best paper currency ever issued by banking corporations. It was adopted only after the fullest consideration, and won its way into public favor only by slow process. The first national bank bill nad a hard passage through Congress. From Decai iber, 18G2, it remained durine a long session of Congress un acted upon. In the next session it was debated for nearly two weeKs in the Senate. It was greatly aided by Charles Sumnsr and Henry Wilson. It was finally carried in the Senate by the vote of Senator Anthony, who, when appealed to by Secretary Chase and myself to support it, said he would vote for it for the sake of his country, but it would ruin him in Rhode Island. It was carried through the House only by the intelligent efforts of a Boston merchant. Samuel Hooper. It promptly received the sig nature of Abrshan Lincoln. This banking system, like most others, em braces two distinct departments one of dis counts, deposits and exchai.ee; the other, the issue department In the first department a national bank has but little advantage over a State bank, except only in the credit which comes to a national bank by the frequent examination and publication of its condition. The popular idea of a bank attaches mainly to its issue department, or the issue and circulation of its notes as money. It is in respect to this func tion that the provisions of the banking law mainly apply. Now the great advantages of the national banking system over any other can be stated in general terms. The franchises granted are free and open to all who have the requisite capital and comply with the law. There is no element of monopoly about it nor any chance for pref erence or favoritism. .The notes of the banks are absolutely secure beyond all peradventure. Over two thousand million of national bank cotes have been issued since the system has been in force, and not one dollar has been lost by failure to pav it on de mand. It is of universal circulation, without question, throughout the United States, and, since resumption, in all commercial countries in the world. In this respect it is, at least, on a parity with a Bank of England note. It is guarded against counterfeiting more carefully than auy other circulating note in existence. In addition to all the guards that protect the green back, each bank is protected bv special dies and the signatures of its officers. The cost of issu ing and redeeming the national bank notes is less than that of any of the European banks, and is only greater than that of the greenbacks be cause 01 the necessity or sorting the notes 01 the several banks in the redemption offica The distribution of these banks to every town of importance, and to almost every county of the United States, has practically abolished all rates of domestic exchange, especially between citie3, however remote. For these reasons, manifest to every intelli gent man in our country, the national banks would, by common consent, be continued as a permanent system but for the rapid payment of the public debt, which by the banking law is made the sole allowable security for all tho bank notes issued. It is this difficulty which 1 sup pose the merchants of Boston would like to have stated in the fewest possible words. Would it be safe or prudent to accept any other form of security than United States bonds as the basis of national banking? I can only say know of none. The attempt to define such a security obtainable in all parts of the United States would open such dangers as would destroy the system. Nor do I think it necessary now to definitely answer a question which need not arise lor twenty years. There are still nearly $1,000,000,000 of United States bonds outstanding, not vet redeemable, of which $737,000,000 are not redeemable for twenty years. Why did not the national banks buy these bonds when the government was anxious to sell them at par? The only answer that can be made is that they held on to bonds bearing a higher rate of interest, and thus overreached themselves. I know one bank president a personal friend of mine, who would not surrender his called bonds because he thought he could, after a while, buy 4-per cents, at less than par. lie lost at both ends of the line. It is this error of the national banks that has involved them in all the difficulties of their position. But why do not thev buy the 4-per-cents now? The answer is that, by the advancing credit of the United States, these bonds, that could have been boueht in 1880 at par, are now worth 123, and would yield, at present prices, less thn Ji per cent interest It is a serious question whether, under the terms of existing law, a bank governed by its self-interest can afford to pay such rates for bonds for the privilege of issuing circulating notes to the amount of 90 per cent of the par of the bonds. This brings me to what appears to he the clear, plain remedy for the rapid contraction of the currency now coing on, more threatening to the people than to the banks, and that is to change the present limit of circulation. As the bonds are held as security for the notes, and that only, why shou'd the government demand a security out of all proportion to the obligation secured? Why demand a margin of 38 per cent, in a bond that does not vary, except to go up? It was right enough when the law was passed, when the bonds were often under par, but now the conditions are changed. The amount of cir culatiou allowed should be 90 per cent of the market value of the bonds. It is 6aid the price of the bonds may go down. So it gradually will as the time for the maturity of the bonds approaches, but the present law provides, and it can easily be made clearer, that once a year, as the bonds fall, additional bonds may be called for by the Comptroller. Onefourth of the interest on the bonds applied as a sinking fund, or to the purchase of other bonds, would repay the whole premium on the bonds, lartre as it is. This simple remedy would secure the existence of the banks beyond peradvenure for twenty years. The increased circulation would justify the purchase of the bonds even at the present rates. Why has it not been adopted by Congress? It was strongly and ably recommended by Mr. Knox and Mr. Cannon, and, in substance, if not in werds, is recommended by the present Comptroller. It is simply neglected by Congress as many other measures are neglected; but an earnest effort made by the business men of the United States would secure this provision, and thus preserve for twenty years the benefits of eur national banking system. What ought to be done after that period maj well be left to our successors. With the fight of our experience and the established benefits of the system, we can hope that they will be wise enough to prest rve and perpetuate a financial policy which hat guided us through the perils of a great civil war, and which has advanced our country to the foremost place among the nations of the world. As to the greater question of how to abolish our vast and growing surplus revenue or to appropriate it for great purposes of national safety or development this is now exoiting the atten tion of Coneress and the people of the United States, and, we may hope, will be solved with wisdom and in a spirit of patriotism without re gard to party ties or sectional animosities. It is the glory and prosperity of our country, our whole country and nothing but our country, that oueht to animate us all in solving such problems as thebe. Just Like His Luck. Foreign Fun. .
