THE CONTROLLLE of the Currency suggests to Congress the propriety of sub stituting bonds at four per cent. for those bearing six per cent., now lodged in the Treasury to secure the cireulatkin of the National Banks. And, in view of the urgent'calls from many portions of country for an increase of the circulation, - the Controller estimates that the addi tional amount of bonds, required for se curing another $50,000,000 of currency, might be issued, and the total amount of interest paid would still be $2,190,152 less than is paid upon the six per cents. now held by the Trassury. By way of further inducement, the Controller points out that the increased issue of bonds could be sold for legal tender notes, to the extent \rf over $60,000,000 to be can celled.

AND 36 must The recent terrible tragedy' in Phila delphia, enacted by a man :who had en joyed the reputation of being la church member, a kind hushind and fitffier, and a good citizen, is not without Many com panion pieces of similar wick6dness in the recollection of our youngeSt readers. Indeed, at about the same time that he was butchering his wife and children, and making ready to destroy his own life, in order to complete his revenge on an un propitious world, a proininent and highly respected merchant of Cleveland was penning a , note to the Coroner, which was subsequently found on his bullet pierced body, inying "this - is a case of suicide,-caused by business cares and per plexities." The \world is ; charitable enough to' permit both these suicides to escape censure, covering their grave crimes against God and inciety with the plea •of "depressed spirits," or "tem porary derangement" There is a start Ipg point at which that disease of the mind could readily be• checkedif those who become victims cared to avoid the serious consequences which must inevita bly follow its full development OrdinarilY men in business have many\ difficulties to contend w. If their prosperity is uninterrupted, and their bal ance_ sheets at the close of each flintiness • period, develope large loins and profits, theyare willing to be happy and cheerful, and may afford even so fax to forget the thraldom of the counting-room as to laugh with their friends and be merry. Few men pass throUgh a long term of business without encountering vexatious troubles or Involving themselves in pecuniary em barrassmenti. When the sun is shining on the prOsperous merchant, he• should never'forget that lurking clouds of adver- . shy, at a moment's notice, may sweep across and darken and make gloomy his seemingly bright pathway to fortune. It Is not in prosperity that buoyancy in spirits, cheerfulness and good nature, shottld attend the merchint, so much as when he is surrounded by unpropitious cir cumstances. He then needs all the powers of his body and mind to weather the storm and disentangle himself from the intricate difficulties in which placed, and if he falls into despondency and melancholy he loses them, and energyless, inert and incapa ble, he invites not only the continuance of his troubles, but lik . ewise a:wrecked intel lect and premature death. A merchant who gives away to fretting, when his busi nen matters go wrong, who loses pati ence with himself and the world if not as prosperous as he 'desires, whd-sours against his wife, his children and his friends when pecuniarily embarrassed, as though they would not do all the possible things in their power to rescue him from his troubles, is unworthy -recognition as a man, and richly deserves as much con tempt from the outside world as he en tertains for himself at heart. If people would take things more generally as they find them, and forget not their Gon, either' in prosperity or adifersity, there would be few terrible crimes enacted "while laboring under temporary de rangement."

Pub lished by D.Appleton & Co., New York. The views of the author of this work are so clearly defined, arti sensible, that they cannot' fail to command respect. The high character, of this linguist is worthy of . note. The art of thinking is discussed as the best and most successful mode of acquiring a foreign language in , contra distinction to the usual way, by the eye instead of the ear. The design of the work is to provide a method for the mas tery bfa foreign language, by training the ear before an-attempt is made.to converse, following nature, as illustrated by the in fant in the varied course of timiculory es- ercises,beforpAhe tongueis called into ac, ton. • Persons who adhere to the method AA down in this work, will be able to ac quire the knowledge of a foreign language withalmost the facility ofhi s native tongue.

Cases are ajbluced in confirm tion of the posi -1 tionsnald down. "The old coaching time," when passengers could leisurely book their places, and take them quietly at the time of departure, if contrasted with the present time, when all classes enter the same train, and all alike hur ry to bne spot, with one object —to save the tnain. { Following Mr. Haviland, we may say, that everything is changed, even our bodies are changing, for all this striping to do certain distances in certain given times has engendered an irritability in, our organs which has told upon thousands, and will tell upon thou sands more. Many a brain and spinal cord have suffered from the vibratory mo tion of railway carriages, which some times lasts for days after a journey; a limb, the, nerves of which have been weakened by disease, often retains a feel ing of this motion or many hours after, and severe neuralgia bas been known tb be the sequel. The action of the heart is often quickened, and the .organ be comes more sensitive in some individuals, especially those of a sanguine, nervous temperament. The stomach is not in frequently upset in a manner similar to what was experienced on the road by some persons when they sit with their backs tp the horses. All these things are, however, more or less inevitable, since we cannot do with out railway traveling; but with proper knowledge many of the inconveniences resulting might be obviated. To this task the author applies himself, after ' stating that it woutd be desirable to know, as a statistical fact, the number of persons who \,haVe fallen dead while hur rying to the train.' Whether a person be diseased or not, one caution must always li-i remembered—never to exert yourself when the stomach is full. "If there is an organ in, the body that ii`more intolerant than any other of hurry and bustle, it is the stomach. Man is the only animal that really treats it badly." The heart and brain participate in the healthy ac tion of the stomach by good digestion; they - suffer, also, 'by its irregulari ties and disorders. Constant irri tation of the heart by an abuse of the functions of the stomach, is liable to produce cardiac disease, , and with this state diminisheii ability to encountfirihe strain of sudden exertion or the - fatigue from prolonged exercise. deference is made to the periodity of the functions of the chief organs—stomach, heart, lungs, and brain, and the necessity of giving each its full period of repose. The brain is the only one of those organs that can enjoy actual and entire rest, as in sleep; with the others therels merely diminish ed exercise or strain, an opportunity for obtaining which ought to be carefully and regularly allowed. The heaift, indeed, cannot stop its beats, nor the lungs their breathing, but both of them can be made to enjoy relaxation in sleep in a recum bent posture. . Much stress is laid on 'the traveler's meals, and the advice is iterated, that people should never hurry themselves at their meals or before a meal—the very anticipation of being pushed for time is adverse to the enjoyment of a meal as well as to its digestion. But what can a traveler do on a railroad, in the way of carrying - out .. hygenic predepts, unless railway directors - and superintendents I have some bowels of compassion, and al , low a reasonable time for the now vic i tim travelers to take their meals without haste and confusion. On many of our great American railways there have been great reforms in this particular:' The ap plicable advice on the present occasion is, however,to those persons who ride from ' their aces of residence to the city for the transaction of business. "A late dinner or a high tea is better than supper. " Soon after 9 o'clock the weak time of the heart begins,, and hence it ought to be saved from the additional ex citement\ and irritation that would, be caused by . s- a full stomach and alcoholic stimulate at Cr near this hour. Persons .suffering from retarded and irregular sc.? tion of the heart ought, at all times, to avoid taking much fluid with their meals, or between them. Referring to ' malt liquorit M. Haviland tells ns: "Intact there is hardly such a thing to be obtained as a general rule," and again he is, of course,.speaking ,of . ~Englfsh brews, "Mach of the so-called nialt liquor of the present dayis a disgrace to a beer drink hag country, and is prodtictlve of much stomach :derangement" In many per sons smoking immediately after a. meal retards,' we are told, digestion, and in some suspends it altogether.. • The last part of this' tract is given to an inquiry into the statistics, "Geograph ical Distribution ,of Heart Diseases in England, Waif* and the Hour of Death." The deaths from'this , disease in a mean' population of nineteenmillions; was over 289,000 , in ten years. 12=1 A subscriber, Mr. S. W. Powell, of 'chiesnyjn., ";writes> to the Hearth and Home as follows: "Can thorough ventil . ation be bad at , small coat? With open stOyee, yes; with close stoves, no. In the latter case, exhaustion at • the floor level is necessary, and unless this is pro. vided for when the house is built,' it' is costly, and not easy to get at any price. But with an open stove there is no trouble. In my toeriisuch' a steie, burning soft coal, is placed in the corner, facing diago nally toward the centre of the apartment. Tho back is covered with a sheet-iron jacket, oloied below,at the sides, but open above. Into the bottom of this comes a five-Inch pipe from' the • lower left hand corner of the window. I took out a pane of glass, filled its place with a board, through which passes < the pipe. The space between the stove and the sheet. iron jacket is thus filled with warm fresh air, and pours it into `the room. The open stove exhausts from the lower part of the stove where the carbonic acid hes: Win- dows and doors can be tight—the more so the better. By a deep .dish fitting into a hole at the top, I get several' quarts Of evaporation daily. The whole cost was some five dollars, and I think that amount will be saved in fuel in one season. This plan will work anywhere, and with me works perfectly.

The Sacramento line is five hundred and ninety-four miles east of that city, leaving a gap, to-day, of one hundred and ten miles.

The acts since 1830 against peddling without license were intended to embrace both foreign and domestic goods, exempt ing, however, from their operations, citi zens of Pennsylvania peddling goods' f their own manufacture. But ,in the act of 'April 16th, 1840, the word "domestic" was dropped inadvertently, it is asserted, since the consequently useless and un meaning provision is retained, which al lows citizens of Pennsylvania without license to peddle goods of their own make. However this may wasdecided that the many acts on the sibject being inter preted so as to form a complete ffatem, the word "foreign" should receive the construction mentioned above. And the Court held that it was not necessary to take out a license to peddle in Pennsyl vania goods made in any other State of the United States. HALF the Indian wars spring from treaty breaking and knavish dealing on our part, usually the fruit of our vicious Indian Bureau system. Nor is this all. The expense of the Bureau is great, and the agents are never economical. Gen. Hazen, writing to Gen. Garfield from Fort Cobb last January, declared that his own expenses were not over a third of those of the Indian Bureau for the same articles. At that time he was feeding the Indians collected about the fort from all quarters. Beef cost him three cents per pound, while the Bureau paid Perry Fuller nine and there were parties waft ing,to con tract for three. Four hundred and fifty stock cattle (utterly unfit they were, by the way, for their use) 'were bought for the Comanches by the Bureau at siz times the price at which they could be had anywhere. The Government must have lost over $lO,OOO on this single small item. And so on with everything else.—.N. Y. Times. WHEN was Fick, Jr.,.like a druukard! When he indulged in maddening Bowles.
