The Comptroller of the Currency on the Greenback Question.

In his annual report the Comptroller says: It has been proposed to withdraw the National Bank notes from circulation and to authorize an additional issue of $400,000,000 of “ greenbacks,” the latter to be interchangeable in sums of fifty dollars for Treasury notes, bearing interest at the rate of 8.65 per cent, per annum, or one cent per day on each SIOO, and to repeal all acts tending to a resumption of payment in specie. The “greenbacks” re. ceived by the Treasury, in exchange for the 8.65 notes are to be used for the purchase of 6 per cent. 5-20 bonds, to save interest to the Government. The non-interest-bearing certificates of deposit now held by the banks, and amounting to $50,880,000, will at once be converted into “ greenbacks,” and these, together with the $150,000,000 of cash reserve also held by the different banks and bankers of the country, will be speedily exchanged for 3.65 notes. These latter notes will be used by every clearing-house in the country for the payment of balances, and a large proportion of the circulation will then consist of the new inconvertible in-terest-bearing notes, so that the whole authorized issue of these bonds will soon be in demand. If the amount of the interestbearing notes be limited to $400,000,000, and a reserve of 25 per cent in legaltender notes be held in the Treasury, the amount of the latter, which may be invested in United States 6 per cent, bonds, will be $800,000,000. This sum will purchase $250,000,000 of 6 per cent, bonds, assuming that the average premium is not greater than at present—2o per cent. The amount of interest saved upon the $250,000,CO.) of 5-20 bonds retired will be $15,000,000, while the interest paid by the Government on the $400,000,000 of 3.65 notes outstanding will be $14,600,000, the net saving to the Government being $400,000. But through this process the present tax on bank circulation, amounting to $3,250,000, will be lost, so that instead of saving $400,000 the Government will by this experiment bo actually the loser of $2,850,000. If, however, the issue of 3.65 notes shall be increased to an amount equal to that of the legal-tender and National Bank notes combined, the loss in interest to the Government would be somewhat less than before stated, but equal to at least $250,000. It therefore seems evident that the substitution of the proposed expedient in place of a system which has been in successful operation for the last thirteen years will result in a loss to the Government instead of a gain. The National Banks, as ha 9 been seen, are disposed to retire their circulation, and it is probable that during the next year a very large proportion of it will be voluntarily surrendered, but if the preposition now under consideration should be adopted many of the banks would go into liquidation, and the loans to a very great extent be called in for the purpose of distributing their present capital and surplus among their stockholders, who would, without doubt, generally organize under State systems and as private bankers. By this course a large proportion of the State taxes, now amounting to an average of about 2 per cent, upon capital, would be saved to tbe banks, as a result of a conversion of their capital or deposits into interest-bearing notes, which, like other issues of the Government, would be subject to taxation neither by national ifor State authorities.

The Question of Currency Redemption.

The people of the United States sell their whole surplus product to foreigners, and buy in exchange therefor whatever their spare products will bring. One of their surplus products is gold, of which they export from sixty to eighty million dollars a year. Altogether, their exports of everything amount to nearly $2,000,000 per day, and their imports an equal sum. Money is needed to effect these exchanges, and only one sort of money can do this. The “world’s money,” gold and silver, is the open sesame of foreign trade. One of the grand problems is to turn our paper currency into this world’s money, and so make these exchanges. Most of the articles we buy from abroad are necessaries of life. Others are- fast becoming so in obedience to the rule that the luxuries of one age become the comforts of the next and the necessaries of the next to that. We can never produce everything we consume. No man or community can do this; no nation can do it. There is and must be an eternal demand for the world’s money for purposes of international exchange. We need it as much as any. foreign nation does.. We do not sell our commodities abroad for the depreciated paper currency of Austria or of Italy. We demand coin. So foreigners will not take our National Bank notes or our greenbacks. They must have gold. When a merchant .who deals in imported wares has exhausted his stock and has to refill

his empty shelves, how does he do so ? He takes the paper he has received here, sells it for gold, and uses the latter to buy his new stock. In’ other words, he has the order redeemed in gold at the best rates he can get from the gold-brokers. The redemption is absolutely necessary. All other questions come down to this: Who will redeem ? We naturally look to the maker of paper currency to redeem it. Bank-paper is sent to the bank; Govern-ment-paper should be sent to the Government. But the latter dishonors its promises to pay. It says it will redeem tome time, but not now. Hence brokers step in to fulfill the function of redemption. The' amount of gold they give for a paper dollar fixes the purchasing power of the greenbacks. This is an universal rule. Whenever the maker of a promise to pay refuses or delays to keep his promise, the amount of gold anyone else will give for the written or printed sign of the promise fixes its value. This is true of the currency of Russia, of Austria, of Italy, of America, of the notes of a suspended or doubtful bank, of any and every broken promise to pay. Now, the amount of gold given for any such promise by brokers depends wholly upon what they think the chances of its maker’s ultimately redeeming it in gold are. If all intent of such redemption is formally disclaimed, as the greenbuckers wish it in the case of our currency to be, no broker will redeem the paper at all. How, then, if gold-re-‘dbraption is abandoned, even in theory, is our currency to be exchanged into that of the world, and the absolutely necessary international exchange effected I— Chicago Tribw#,

Mr. Stanley’s Discoveries.

In order to understand the importance of Mr. Stanley’s heroic labors let us briefly survey the flow of the Nile. Following the tide of the tourists who enter Eygpt at the port of Alexandria we proceed from Boulac, the port of Cairo, along the broad bosom of a swift-flowing stream, and nearly a thousand miles from the Mediterranean, at the first cataract, all river traffic ceases- Nile traveling along this rente of gigantic ruins and imposing temples is a feast, and for nearly half a century it has been the fashion of the wealthier classes, craving curious sights in Oriental tends to spend a winter of luxury Idling along the stream. From the second cataract, 300 mites beyond, the provinces of Egypt are thinly populated. Tbe river, sweeping around a great bend to westward , leaps over cataracts which impede all navigation, and it is only when Berber, 2,000 miles from the delta, is reached, that the traveler is on the borders of Central Africa and in the midst of thoroughly aboriginal peoples. Away to southward, embracing over fifteen degrees of latitude, are tribes numbering as* high in the aggregate as 30,000,000 of souls, who have been the prey of slave-hunters, torn asunder again and again by native wars, but now happily attached by cofliquest to the fortunes of Egypt. It is over this wild and pestilential domain, to southward of Khartoum, that so many intrepid explorers have penetrated—the majority to lose their lives — and the prize has been the sources of the Nile. Mr. Stanley, who had been three times in Africa, at Magdala, Coomassie and Uj ij i, before entering upon the present journey, made a thorough study of the various routes by which he should approach the territory where the fountain-head lies, and in this inquiry he enjoyed peculiar advantages. On terms of personal in-

timacy with leading geographers and travelers of the world, seeking their counsel and advice, he at last determined to enter Africa by the old route of Speke and Grant, from the coast opposite Zanzibar, and his triumphant progress has been recorded from time to time in these columns. At last, reaching the shores of the Victoria Niyanza, he has startled the scientific world by discovering and fixing by astronomical observations, the flow of the Shimeeyu—a river 370 miles long, rising at the intersection of the fifth degree of south latitude and the thirty-fifth meridian of longitude east from Greenwich. Mr. Stanley describes this stream “as by far the noblest river that empties into the lake • • ■ the extreme southern source of the Nile.” It is a mile wide at the mouth, not insignificant compared with the White Nile, and is supplied by several not unimportant feeders. These affluents are fed by mountain streams which rise on the western slope of the great range of which Kilimanjaro and Keania are conspicuous peaks. This discovery goes far to substantiate the theory of Chief-Justice Daly, recently published in the Herald. The astute President of the American Geographical Society, going back to the days of ancient learning, has pointed out that the range of mountt ins to which we have alluded is the same then identified by Aristotle and Herodotus. Not only has he shown this, but the still more remarkable identity of the Albert and Victoria Niyanzas with the two lakes of Ptolemy boldly graven on his map.— N. T. Herald.

A Strange Affliction.

A voting lady in Springfield, Mass., who four or five years ago injured her spine by a coasting accident, has since that time exhibited some extraordinary abnormal symptoms, which the Union thus describes: “She is subject to a strange variety of attacks—all due, doubtless, to one general cause, yet queer enough to be classed phenomena). Sometimes she is blind; again, she is stricken with deafness; subsequently recovering both these senses, she will sing and play with an ease and dexterity which, it is declared, were impossible to her before her accident. To-day she may be in apparently good health; to-morrow she may become helpless, and remain bedridden for weeks. A particularly distressing form* of her malady is the closing up of her throat, so that she can only take liquid food, and that through a tube. On one occasion she received a gentleman caller with much cordiality and grace, and then immediately got down on all-fours and crawled under the table, refusing for some time to speak or stir; yet she is not considered insane, as her mind is most of the time perfectly clear. Daring her singular illness she has acquired a great love for morphine, which she now eats in large quantities. Strange to say, she seems to thrive and grow fat upon it, and there is probably no girl of eighteen in Spring, field who is fairer or more attractive, in person than she,'in spite of this habit and the many and severe trials she has been called to pass through.” •

A Warning to Reckless Advisers.

The Baltimore Sun says a singular case was recently decided in the Circuit Court for Washington County, Maryland. It was given in evidence on the trial that in 1871 Mrs. Busan Weckler asked th# First National Bank of Hagerstown to cash a draft on New York for $1,047. The teller of the bank, John D. Newcomer, being told by her that she wanted to invest SI,OOO in Washington County bonds, advised her that a better investment would be in Northern Pacific Railroad bonds, which have since depreciated to about fifteen cents on the dollar. He told her, as an inducement for such investment, that Dr. Smith, her physician, had invested SIO,OOO in the Northern Pacific Railroad bonds, and this assurance induced her to invest in them also. Her son-in-law confirmed her testimony, having been present at the conversation. Hie action was brought against the teller of the bank to recover the amount invested under deceitful representation. The jury gave a verdict in Mrs. Weckier’s favor. The defendant denied the allegations of deceit, and said that at that time the railroad bonds were esteemed as an excellent investment Dr. Smith testified that he had never invested in the Pacific Railroad bonds, and never tsld anyone 1 that he bed any. Mrs. Weckler first brought her action against the bank, bat the Court decided that it could not be maintained. Mr. Newcomer has filed a motifo for a o§w trial,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Equal parts of sand and plaster-Paris moistened with water makes an excellent mortar to stop cracks and holes in walls or ceilings. It hardens rapidly. To make com meal griddle-cakes, scald half a pint of Indian meal, half a pint of the same dry, flour, and stir all into a pint of milk, with a tablespoonful of butter ind one egg. Spread very thin on the griddle. To clean the insides of jars, fill them with water, stir in a spoonful or more of pearl-ash; empty them in an hour, and if not clean fill them again, and let them stand several hours. For large-sized jars lye is excellent. c Flour kept in barrels for a long time often acquires a peculiar odor, supposed to be derived from the barrel. This smell actually indicates an incipient decomposition prejudicial to bread-making, owing to the gluten having become partially soluble. It is therefore much preferable to keep flour in sacks, unless for short periods. , . Potatoes are adapted to be eaten with lean meat—the starchy potatoes furnishing the fattening and heating elements which lean meat lacks, while the lean meat supplies the bone and muscle-mak-ing elements not afforded by potato or fine flour bread. Fat meat affords beating and fattening elements, like potato, but in a form less easily digested by most persons. To keep the hair from falling out, wash the head every week in salt water and rub the skin of the head with a dry coarse towel. Then apply a dressing composed of bay rum and sweet oil, with which a few drops of tincture of cantharides have been mingled. This will stimulate the skin and keep the hair from falling out and turning gray. The dressing for the hair may be scented wita cinnamon oil or some such warming essence.— N. T. Tribune.

For scent-cases it will be necessary to buy an ounce of sachet powder (heliotrope, mille fleur, violet or Florentine orris-root). Cut out two layers of thin cotton wadding three inches square, sprinkle the powder between them and tack the edges together. Make a little bag of blue or crimson silk of the same size, run it round the edges, leaving one end open; tack the scented wadding smoothly in and sew the open end over and over. Trim around the case with a narrow-plaited ribbon and catch it through in four or five places with tiny ribbbn bows of the same color. —St. Nicholas for December. Children almost invariably dislike porridge, which is the more to be regretted as there is no kind of food that will more surely build up a strong and healthy frame. That it is an unreasonable prejudice is often shown by the fact that the child who apparently loathes his basin of porridge will, when grown up to man’s estate, esteem it the greyest luxury. Some parents apply the rod in such cases, bnt it is a pity when children’s food has to he whipped into them. Rather let the best of all sauces, hunger, give them a relish for what would otherwise be distasteful ; and occasionally, by way of va. riety, substitute stale bread scantily buttered, with weak, half-cold tea insufficiently sweetened, and if that does not bring the little rebel to appreciate his porridge try something even more uninviting still.— N. E. Farmer.

Three men in Portland, Me., tried a little experiment in the William Tell line, the other day, which didn’t work very well. The affair occurred in a cellar, and the order of exercises was for one to hold a cat by the tail, another to hold a light, and the third one to shoot the cat with a revolver. The revolver was discharged, .but the cat escaped unharmed, while the young man who held her was shot in the hand, and the one who held the light was hit in the arm by the same bullet. » t » The doctors do not always guess right. For example, in the case of James B. Hulse, the President of the Middletown (N. Y.) National Bank, who was badly injured in a runaway accident in August last, they pronounced his recovery impossible. Now, after lying in an insensible condition for nearly three months, he is rapidly recovering and expects soon to be about his business again.

How Doctors Differ.

A patient has a dull, heavy feeling abont the head, with a dizzy, whirling sensation when rising up suddenly, a bad taste in the mouth, with foul breath, a feeling like a load on the stomach after eating, with a faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach that food will not satisfy, pains about the side, back or shoulder, hands and feet sometimes cold and clammy, alternating with hot flushes, sour eructations from the stomach, eves tinged with yellow, blood thick and stagnant, with costive bowels, and all attendant symptoms. One doctor examines the case and calls it liver complaint, another kidney disease, another dyspepsia, and still another impurity of the blood. Now the fact is all of these doctors are right and they are all wrong, because such patients have all of these diseases combined, and the reason such diseases are not cured is because the custom is to treat one of the diseases at a time. While one is being cured the other gets worse. We should treat the disease with a remedy that will act upon all at the same time. The Shaker Extract of Roots toot a patent medicine) is so made by the Shakers as to effectually remove all of these distressing symptoms. Sold by A. J. White, 819 Pearl street. N. Y. wanted.
