From the. jSci Yok Tribttne. Oct. 2AVi.
: :Tho Money market ia less stringent to
day than on Saturday, hut capital is still
active at full rates. The report of the
Banks showing a further decrease of $1,
423,000 in loans; making ahout three and
a half millions in two weeks, together
with the increased demand from tho in
terior banks, ia quite sufficient to account
for tho present stringency. The Banks
will probably continue the policy of keep- i
ing down their loans until the actual sus
pension of specie shipments, or until the
, surplus of the arrivals from California
shall have increased their ppecie resource
again to eleven or twelve millions. The
California boats of the 1st inst., are fully
due, and will probably increrse our stock
of gold about two millions, of which it is
to be hoped a portion at least may be re
tained in the country. The weekly boats
under tho new arrangement commence
wc Dcneve, on tne sum mst. uoni ban
Francisco. The first weekly boat on this
-side departed on the 20th.
Mr S. C. Thompson; of tho banking
"house of J. Thomppon has left for Indian
apolis to ascertain the standing and posi
tion of the Indiana free banks. Mr.
Thompson appears to be determined to
procure the redemption of Indiana money,
or place the banks in the hands of the
Auditor for liquidation.
Tho Wabash Valley Bank at Logans
port, Indiana, has been added to tho In
diana banks which are bought in Wall
et, at 2 per eeut.
We annex an extract from the circular
of Messrs. Marie & Kauz, prepared for
the steamer :
Nothing of particular importance has
marked the week. The temporary ad
vance spoken of in our last circular has
been followed by a decline of 1 to 2 per
cent, on the leading speculative stocks.
As long as the export of our produce shall
not have commenced, tho disposition to
contract on the part of our banks must
maintain the existing scarcity of money,
and repress any permanent upward move-
monf.f Tr T? ?!lrni Unnrlc witli f Tin nr.
ception of those of tho Erie Railroad, the'
Illinois Central and the iew-lork Cen
tral Railroads, which are always active,
the sales hae l-m very limited. In
City and County Secretaries, on the con
trary there have been several important
transactions, e-p'.eially in St. Louis's,
Cincinnati's, Milwaukee's and Sacramen
to's. In State Stocks sales have taken
place of Indiana's and Virginia's at a de
cline of 2 to 3 per cent, on our previous
quotations.
The amount of business done in Ex
changes is small and the rates show a
downward tendency.
The Merchants' Insurance Company of
Boston has declared a semi-annual divi
dend of 4 per cent, payable on demand.
The Ontario Branch Bank a semi-annual
dividend of 5 per cent., payable Nov. 1.
Tee first division of the Cincinnati and
3Iarietta Railroad from its junction with
the Little Miami to Chtllicothe, a distance
of 70 miles, and 93 miles from Cincinnati,
was opened on the 4th inst. with an ap
propriate celebration.
The Money Crisis at Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati Gazette says the notes
of the Indiana Free Banks arc still re
fused by bankers, but a meeting of whole
tale merchants has agreed to receive the
notes of thirty-four banks from their cus
tomers, so long as the paper shall be re
deemed promptly upon presentation. An
agency i3 to be established in the city, to
receive all the notes of free banks from
the merchants, and return them for re
demption. The same paper says : j
An arrangement is in progress between
onr bankers and the banks of Ohio, Ken
tucky, Wheeling and the State Bank of
Indiana, to which the former have al
ready agreed, which promises- to bring
relief to the money market. Under this
arrangement the bankers agree not to sell
exchange above I prcmuim, for six months,
and not to return the notes of any bank
for redemption for tho same period.
The Gazette announces the failure of
Messrs. Briscoe & .White, grocers, whose
assets, however, are said to exceed their
liabilities. Speaking of tho failure of the
Newport Safety Fund Bank of Kentucky
the Gazette remarks :
Its large notes are secured by stocks
and mortgages, but there is no security
for notes of a less denomination than 5.
It is reported, however, that the securities
Iield by the auditor will be used alike
for the redemption of the Email and large
notes. The brokers talk of 20 a 25c on
the dollar for the small notes
There is no security, it appears, for the
small notes. They are no doubt held by
those the least ablo to bear the loss, and
the holders will not, after waiting for
months for the auditor to wind up the
business of this small note machine, be
legally entitled to a certificate of debt,
the only capital of those pestiferous con
cerns called "Free Banks."
What Becomes'of the Money ?
This is a question asked by one .of our
exchange papers in reference to the mo
ney of the country. Gold has been im
ported from California at the rate of near
ly a million a week for three or four years;
and yet, in consequence of heavy imports
of foreign merchandise, there is a scar
city of money. If we have had one mil
lion in tho precious metals we have re
ceived four in foreign goods. These
goodB are forced into market and mostly
consumed from year to year, leaving us
nothing to show for the two hundred mil
lions of gold received from California. It
is an inevitable result of our present com
mercial system, than which nothing stands
more in need of reform.
Preadful Mortality. Aletter from
an ocer of tho United States steamer
aranac, dated at Spezzia, Sept. 18, state
that -when -she was at Constantinople the
combined French and English forces had
loat BOmO THIRTY THOUSAND MEN bv
eholera, and that thoy are still dying in
J70 men in one night.
Spurring- an irishman.
From the Autobiography of P. T. Barnum.
Whilo I was a clerk in the store in
Bethel, Cannecticut, ray father kept the
village tavern. I usually slept with mv
younger brother, Edcr; but when our
house was filled with travelers, wo wnm
obliged to " sleep three in a bed," by
taking in our honest Irish farmer, Ed
mund, as sleeping partner. After the
storo was closed at night. I freauentlv
joiued some of our villago boys in a par
ty at tne nouse ot ttieir parents, and what
with story-telling and various kinds of
"child's play," a couplo of hours would
glide away, and at II o clock at night,
which was later than my parents permit
ted, I would slyly creep up stairs, and
crawl into bed with tho greatest caution,
lest I should w.ke my brother, who would
be sure to report my late hours to my
parents. My brother contrived all sorts
of plans to catch me on my return home,
but sleep would overtake him , and I would
elude his vigilance. Sometimes he would
pile trunks and chairs against the door,
so that I could hardly open it without up
setting tho barricade, and awakening him
by the noise. I would generally manage,
however, to open the door by degrees,
and to get to bed without disrurbing his
slumbers. Among other contrivances,
one night he fastened a spur upon his na
ked heel and went to sleep, thiuking that
when I got into bed I should hit tho spur,
and perhaps rake my skin, the pain of
which would cause me to cry out and thus
awake hiin. 1 retired with my usual cau
tion that night, and discovering no con
tnvance, 1 concluded my brother had a-
bandoned the chase, and turning my back
to him, I was soon wrapped in the arms
of Morpheus. It chanced that night that
a number of tin peddlers and other trav
elers arrived at a late hour, and every
bed being engaged, our Irish Edmund
was obliged to sleep with us. Perceiving
me stowed away on the back side of the
bed, aud my brother lying as usual plump
in the middle, ho quietly laid himself
down on the front part of the bed aud
went to sleep. At about two o'clock I
was awakened by a fearful noise. The full
moon was streaming in at the window,
making our bedroom as light as day.
"I'll tache ye to go to bed wid a spur on,
ye little divil ye," exclaimed Edmund,
as he held my brother high in the air,
one hand grasping his neck and tho oth
er holding the offending leg with the spur
on, just over my head. "What is the
matter, Edmund ?" I exclaimed in sur
prise. Divil a thing is the matter ex
cept this brother of yours has run his
spur into me groin a matter o'three inch
es," replied the indignant Irishman, who
was suffering under the smart of his
wound. " I did not mean it for you I
meant it for Taylqr," whined out my
brother, only half awake. "Divil a bit do
I care who you meant it for, so that I got
it," replied Edmund, at the same time
giving my brother several slaps which
made him yell like a young Indian. Ed
mund then unbuckled the spur, and ar
ranging us all in bed again, he turned to
go to sleep, simpl' remarking to my
brother, "The nixt time ye try to ride me
for a horse, ye will find I am a kichi?ig
one, ye j'oung varmint."
The Rag Business.
The newspapers of our largo cities con
tain swindling advertisements of men who
profess on the remission of a dollar by
mail, to put the writer in possession of a
way to make an honest living. Speaking
upon this subject, the editor of the Louis
ville Journal suggests a way by which
hundreds of young men may make a liv
ing, some of them perhaps a fortune, in
a branch of business hitherto unknown.
It is not to 'taik a horse and waggon and
peddel beggars," according to the famous
response to the green horn whose misfor
tune has recently been going tho rounds;
but lo take a horse and wagon and collect
rags. Go through the country, he says,
put it into the heads of hundreds of fam
ilies who never thought of such a thing,
to save up their rags, and await your next
visit, and the thing is done. Many will
not save rags, because' it is not worth
while to take them to the mill, but in no
family great or small, is thero not to be
found one member, who will put away
the rags, which will be converted into
gold without any trouble to him on the
periodical call of the rag merchant.
Let everybody no matter who save
their rags and think it not beneath the
dignity of a journalist to call attention
earnestly to a very simple way of obviat
ing what threatens to become serious
evil. And you, enterprising young men,
keen to make a fortune, if any one would
point out to you some new path to be o
pened up, take courage and a rag wagon.
Some twenty years ago, a poor devil
who was starving on the ntrcets of Paris
was struck with a bright idea. lie did
not sleep upon it. He went round to all
the eating houses and made a contract to
take away all tho refuse bones which were
heretofore thrown away, and he turned
his bones to such good account that he
died, some short time since, a Millionaire
on the accumulation of this apparently
wretched trash worthless in small quan
tities, but which he found means to dis
pose of to so good account that the cents
became dollars, and so on. The great
matter is to iurn the dippings of every
little source into ono reservoir; in them
selves they are insignificant and ineffect
ually evaporate or sink into tho earth, but,
united, they form the rivulets and streams
and mighty oceans upon whose bosom
floats the wealth of kingdoms, tho com
merce of tho world
It is asserted, by a late medical
writer, that soup, with the exception of
the vegetable matters and shreds or raeai
that float in it, is entirely indigestible in
the stomachs of children. The stomach
digests only solid food, even milk being
coagulated into a curd to undergo this
process, and yet thero arc many farmers
who have long since given up the idea of
raising fino calves on fine tea, who give
thoir children soup for dinner, undor the
idea that it is very nourishing..
Verdict for Whipping a Yogng Woman.
At Jfoughkeepsie, N. Y., a few days
Bince, a school teacher was tried for cruel
ly whipping a female pupil 17 years of
fin . .
age. inc judge charged the jury that
the teacher stood in the place of a parent,
and had a right to correct a pupil, but
in so doing must exhibit a parent's feel-
luoa uuu e exceeded what was ne
cessary to preserve order, he was linhln
tor assault and battery. Ho further
charged that the moans used to preserve
ordor should be adapted to the nnrf spy
and habits of the pupil, " and left it to
me jury to say whether any possible cir
cumstance could warrant a man, whether
a teacher or not, in laving his hands in
violence or anger on a grown up cirl."
The jury found a verdict against the
