Tint obji-ctioiiBblcfoaturo of tint lull, tin) (mi! to which the president specially objected wits tho llfth sertion which was mi ptirt of a funding bill, but was tacked on f(r some inncrutublu pur Imisc knmvn only to the represcntHtives ot thu neonle at Wiisliinirton. It I n " h a law would have been unjust to the banks, find tliroiiii tlisio disastrous to the coun try. A yren.t many of the national banks favored the pwsagti of the funding bill, without this section, we know the City National bank of Cairo vii9 aiming thoso that favored its passage, but under the fifth section which aa wo before said is uo er-seiitiitl part of a funding bill, very few if any new national banks could bo organized and n great many of tlwmo now existing would bu driven out of business. The withdrawal of their circulation and winding up of the af fairs of even a part ol them would not fail to prove disastrous to tho business of the country. No far sighted business trtnn coul I have done otherwise than the officers of the City National Bank of Cairn, and other national banks have done, in withdrawing a part of their circulation and taking up their secur ities before the noose formed by this nth section should have tiirhened into a chok ing condition, and yet no strictly business transaction has been subject to trreater abuse by press and public. The banks, as well as business men and legislators, see the necessity of a righteous law for refunding the public debt soon to fall due, but uo one desires that it should imperil or impair the usefulness of the national bank system (and thereby defeat its own purpose) by depriving them of the privilege ot securing their circulation with any kind of government bonds they may elect and confining them strictly to the cheapest as did tho fifth section of the bill which President Hayes wisely refused to sign.

NEW A Sensible. Precaution. Though disease cannot always be con quered, its first approaches can Imi checked. Jlut not only is the iihii ot it medicinal safe, .nurd to li ri'comnii'iiiled on the first ap pearance of a malady, but a wise discrimi nation should bo cxi-i'eised in the choice of a remedy. For thirty years or more Hos tetter's Stomach- l!;tteis has been the reign ing specific fr ily.-pcpsia, fever and ague, a loss of physical stamina, liver complaint and other disorders, uinl has been most em phatically indorsed hy medical men as a health and strength restorative. It is in deed a wise precaution to use this sover eign lortifymg agent mid ulteiative in the early stages of disease, for it eirertually counteracts it, if the inalody belongs to that large class to which this'aterling med icine is adapted. Not only is it efficacious, but pure and harmless. A farmer named Smiley, living near Erie, scratched his linger with a nail and it was found necessary to amputate his arm abovo the elbow, hut even this proved unavailing, and ho died in crcut agony. A casn of niiseogenation has eomn to light at Cleveland. Samuel Oswald, colored, married Mamie Malier, a beau tiful white girl of 19 years, la.st May. The inarnag was disclosed during a quar rel between Oswald and John Maher, the girl's brother. Mamie is tho daugh ter of a well-to-do stone mason. She was a Catholic church member, but her church excommunicated her. Oswald is a well-paid employe of a leading photograph gallery. The parents of Mamie will try to annul tho marriage. "Kensington." Mrs. Julia Hawthorne has been writing to Harper's Iltizar describing the meth ods of work at tho South Kensington school of art needle-work in London. Tho designs for tho school, she says, are niiulii by tho fust artists in England as a hilior of love, and tho treasures of antique needle-work gathered together in tho South Kensington and other museums ate freely loaned for their benefit. Tho ladies connected with it are always on the search for new designs or stitches, and modern work from Jap an, India, Turkey, and Greece is brought over to aid their invention or give them new hints in coloring. Ono lady was engaged upon tho last of eight pairs of curtains, which have occupied her for three years. These are for the music-room of a large house in London, und cost $M0 a pair! Tho body of tho curtain is of dark blue velvet, the bor der of paler blue satin, with a design chiefly in applique work of two darker shades of blue velvet, outlined in gold bullion, and arabesqued with gold iiirean. i lie more delicate parts of tho design were in silks of various shades of yellow. Tho gold thread used in tho school is all imported from Japan, that being the only kind which does not tarnish. J'he cold bullion cord, which is about tho thickness of the largest piping-cord, is, by a lato invention, lacquered, thus preserving its bright ness In another small room aro the silks, crewels, and gold threads used in the work, arranged in shallow drawers, "Lady Gordon said, when we remarked what a delight the colors alone gave-, that on foggy days, or when she felt de pressed, sho had these drawers opened for her, and the exquisite gradations and tones of color induced such a thoroughly happy slate of mind that it carried her triumphantly through tho day." This last touch is really delici ous in its glimpse into tho mental at mosphere of British aristocracy. ''Made New Again." Sr. C.uiiAKiNks, Out. R. V. Pierre. M.

SERIES-NO. 215 Tie Amateur Farmer I dreamt of a beautirul time When the world sliall happy be; When tho elrptmnts and hyenas Shall blomoin on every tree; When tamarinds anil potatoe Shall reime their dreadful roar; When turnip tree shall bloaaom In the tranlen for ever more. I dreamt of a jrreat republic- When tlm people sliall all go West, So 4 1 1 1 1 in a ti in I reap tomatoes In tin) land they love the bests When ijt Iron ami molluscs Shall liliiniii on every hill, Ami chickens low In the barnyard, While Konselicrriea toil at the mllL I'm weary of seclnfr the cabbage Handle the rake unl the hoe; I'm weary of nairnlng unit waiting For the grasshopper buah to grow. I long fur the time when spinach Shall rope with bread and milk; When hens shall lay potatoes, And horses spin raw kilk. Oh! aweot were the vanished hottra When I wandered down the glen, Ami wreathod my brow with tomatoes, Or plucked tho ripened hen; When tho donkey twined up the trolli, Ami the encumber chirped In tho graas, And tho sweet potato whistled To its mate In tho mountain pas. But gone aro the day of childhood, And iiiiiiiIiihmI's il reams are mine; Yet I lung lor the by-gone houra, Aa I ait 'nenth this Turkish vine. Oh! wreuthe your blossoms about me, And sooth my aching breast; While gooseberry plaintively warblea And lulls me Into rest. rAOETLE. A busy retail grocer, Whom we all uroly know, air, Wa asked one day in a friendly way, By a country chap who had come to stay Till the mail camo In at close of day, "What are your grosa receipts, alt?" "lie, hcl ha, ha! ho, hoi air," Laughed the busy retail grocer, Aa ha pointed out, with laugh and shout, The barrel and boxes ranged about, "You can plainly see, beyond a doubt, hat are my grocery seats, lrt" Cannibals sometimes have their neigh bors at dinner. Boston girls never hang up their stockings; an exchange says that thoy suspend their hosiery. Old Nickelpineh says ho has often seen men buck the tiger, but for his part be would rather buckwheat cakes. Be not cast down, impecunious sir; there is a plenty of good things in store for you. All you need is the money to get them out. Dr. Swing says that in time women will develop into angels. No ono was ever bold enough to accuse man of any intentions in that direction. To the query of a Danbury dentist to an applicant for a new sot as to what sort ot teeth she wanted, she said, "Something that won't show dirt." "Alliance oyster buyer" is the latest designation for a girl's young man. Tho name will bo changed to "engaged ice cream purchaser" ia the summer. Tho worst about kissing a Pittsburg girl is that you carry tho marks of coal dust about your noso and other features till von reach tho nearest pump. Hunt nylon JlttiriCie.
