vie! to the withdrawal from circulation of the
convertible issue of legal tender notes. The cir
cular, he SaYS. was not addressed to all the Na
tional banks, but only such of those institutions
ai have been designated depositaries of public
moneys, which worn directed to seleCt from the
Milted States legal tender notes which they might
have on hand on receipt of the circular, and from
those thtiS, might receive. , As these institutions
have been the constituted custodians of public
funds, and are, In that capacity, under the control
of the Department, it did not seem to him improper
or unjust that they should be raduested.to assist
the Treasurer in an effort to withdraw from circu

Which is inhibited by act of Congress. and the
mandatei of which aro imperatively binding upon
him as •an executive officer of the United Statea.
Subsequently to the passage of the act of March
sn, holders of the notes in question presented
them to him for conversion into ilve-twenty bonds.
Ills only duty was to return the notes to the own
ers, and to 'point to the positive_ennetment that
after a main day the right to exchange the notes
for bonds should cease and determine. As his au
thority for declining to make the exchange, to
save the department the embarrassment and in-.
convenience of these frequent explanations, it wee
recently determined , that such of the controverti
ble mites as should coMe' into the ohstody of its
depositaries should be returned to hie) and re
placed by other notes not heaiing the promise of
conversion. The Departniont did not demand the
surrender of any of these notes which were in pri

The Chicago 2ribwie of.Novembor 22, says:
'The general result of the business of the wools
closing to•dby has been a •slight improvement
On that of the previous week.' There has been but•
little increase of activity in business, but what has
boon done has put matters in better shape for,tho
closing in of winter by an increased proportion of
shipments of grain as compared with receipts,
whioh has considerably diminished the quantity
in store here. Wheat, being the article which:
counts the heaviest in value, will servo as an index
of the amount of value' held in grain in store as
mimed to previous years. A:few weeks ago,
what . : the check to the eastward movement of
grain was causing an Immense accumulation here,
which seemed a formidable load with which to
ontor the
,winter; the aniount of Wheat in store
was about 1,600,000 bushels. 13xtra efforts were,
however, made to got it elf, private capital was
changed from advancing on the grain of country
shippers to carrying it, to New York, the banks
strained a point or two, and took a few time bills,'
and to by hook and crook, and with the diminish
ed receipts, the amount in store is now reduced to
about 1,000,000 bushels. At this period in the
two preceding years the amount of wheat in store
was about 600,000 bushels, which at the'then cur
rent prices of about $1 70 to $172 per bushel repre
sented about the fame aggregate value as the 1,-
000,000. Of the °tit& produce in store, the varia
tions in quantity and value, as compared to lost
.year, would still leave the aggragato.value nearly
'the somas then."

moulded by pressure, and then exposed to

which brings them to a semi•pasty state, and
imparts the necessary tenacity and - hardness.

They stand there us if transfixed, gazing

We have fret-1001y noticed this disposition
manifested byl persons whose age showed
shame on them from the indulgence_of such
a habit. The corners of our streets aro not
perinitted—by law—to be appropriated by
loungers, and we think it would not be in
compatible with the duties of our police, if
they extended their authority to the vicinity
of the various houses of worship. If young
men wish to accompany ladies from church
they should have sufficient regard for the
rules of propriety to take them there. ,

TcAcitEns' M . mrrtx . o.—A meeting of the
teachers of the public schools of Hamburg,
for the purpose of organizing an Institute,
was held in the room •of the High School,
on Wednesday evening last, when MIN 11.
t
G. Hunter was untintruously called o the
chair, and J. 0. Smith was appointed core
tarp. The Institute being duly orgy ized,
a report was then read touching o the
'utility of the Institute, and the elements of
the English language, and the subject 'con
sidered and warmly discussed by the mem
bers of the organization,- after which al com
mittee on permanent organization w
I its 4.
pointed to report at th 6 nest stated meeting
of the Institute ; also, teachers to conduct
recitation in Orthography and Penmanship.
We are glad to see that the teachers of
Hamburg have organized this imp:U.4lrd
auxiliary to the public schools, as a means
by' which to promote the b eat interest of
'the schools, and.the public good. It is to be
hoped that all the teachers of that borough
will take an active part in the Institute and
give the public some.tangible proof of their
:earnestness in thus making themselves, more
efficient as teachers, 'and their work more
effectual to their .pupils. ._

MANI:SOWING PAY IN RRADINO.—The
early morning hours of yesterday denoted a
dismal national religions holiday. Towards
nine o'clock the clouds disappeated, the
blue sky visible here and there, and the
sun shone bright. The wind freshened front
- the West, the atmosphere beenmq 'pleasant,
and out of doors agreeable. The.; different
Churches were well 'attended inthe morn
ing, and some highly interesting sermons
were preached suitable for the occasion.
BUsiness was pretty ,generally suspended,
probably as much os upon any .
.previous
Thanksgiving Day. As is usual upon all
holidays, the principal promenades were
thronged with podestrains on trips of pleas
ure and those making their way to tho hou
ses of relativei or friends, after a dinner of
turkey and an afternoon chat, After the
religious exercises of the day were ended
(and, as if by common consent, noon is
generally the limit l Y and after dinner had
been taken care of, it ,was a matter of con
jecture with many cis to how they should
spend the afternoon, Of course those who
obsorvetho day as one of Thanksgiving and
prayer had no occusion to conjecture. It is
the more worldly and generally Coneeded
the rising generation we have reference to..
The lots around the city were cm-,
cupied _in the afternoon by base
ball clubs, and Penn street was 'the resort'
for the ladies,who were out in all their glory
and beauty: In the evening several sociable
parties were held, and services in some of
the churches. Anniversary exorcises were
held in the Universalist church, by tho Sun
day school of that denomination. They con-.
sisted of special services apprOprinto to the
day, front the "Manual and llarp,"an oriel
ual colloquy, by four girls; a report of the
Qinidity school, an address by-the ; pastor of
the church, interspersed with singing by the
choir and the school. The church was
crowded, and the whole *as a Pleasant and
interesting affair.
nsuToL—lf we were n fashlonabla man
we would write a dissertation on fashion,but
as we are not, permit ns to make a few
striking remarks, and if theystrike anybody,
the person struck will consider the remarks
were not intended` for him, or-her.;
For instance, look nt that tall, lank y gim
blet-leggeil, big-footed fellow with a pair of
breeches on so tight that he can't steep with
out running a hone through, and that fancy
little coat without a tail. Aie these not
ridiculous? But fashion—that is, the ex.
treme of frishion,—is only intended for fools
awl flirts. Again, let us look at the tall
straight, fine-looking woman, bowing her
back ns if a hump had grown on it.
were so deformed by nature she would em.
ploy _a skillful surgeon to whittle off' the
hump. 1 lint then fashion, it must be follow
ed, however ridiculous. The other day we
witnessed a sample of what some people call
the Grecian bend. A lady of.fair proper
tions—rlither. line looking—was passing up
Penn street, and we were astonished at her
position—thought she had been taken sudden.
ly Mon the street, when a gentleman, better
versed in the style than ourself, laughed,and
said, T'only the 0. B." "0. B." we repeat
ed, "does that mean (Irma Back? If so, we
don't admire Grant , Backs, and would not
advise our ladies to'put them on."
It is the extreme of folly for man or Iva.
man to nttempt to improve on nature by
tights, or putting humps on their backs.
These will not do. Place everything where
nature intended it to be, and then .you will
look best and enjoy the world more fully.

Mn. EDITOR :—For a number of years a
characteristic system of education has been
gradually growing from the wants and
quirements of the business community. For
the diffusion of this knowlcdge,schools have
been established under the significant title of
Business Colleges. Like every innovation'
they have met ;,with strenuous opposition
from ignorance and prejudiee,an4,-like every
innovation, which is in reality en improve
ment, they have steadily progressed in spite
of ignorance and prejudice. The causes which
operated to produce them, upon a presump
tion of their utility, have been sufficient to
support them when experience has demon
strated their usefulness to society nt large.
and more particularly to the class whose mi.'
mediate benefit was• the professed object of
their formation. • They have at lest been re
cognized as entitled to nn honorable stand
ing among the established institutions of the
land. They hive attained a prominence
which has attracted 'general attention, and
are considered by the majority, with favor
and confidence.. There is, however, a class
who still view them with suspicious or obsti
nate dislike, who are invited to consider the
following remarks. The facts bore present.

whom there is any use of convincing, those
who are sufficiently intelligent to appreciate

The friendship of' others is rather a burden
than a support, and calculated rather to in
jure than to promote the interest of any
cause, be it educational or otherwise.
• We live in an age of progression and im
provement, and it is well not too hastily to
condemn that which is at variance with our
preconceived notions , 'which are often more
the results of education and habit thou of
