"OUR RECKLESSNESS."
The following remarks, by the Lancas
ifr Intelligencer, upon this subject are
toth tn
true and sad :
e have learned to hear of the
slaughter of hundreds and thousands of
men without so much as a shudder. The
daily announcement of skirmishes, in
which from ten to a hundred men, full of
My life, arc hurried out of existence, is
disposed of in a brief sentence, a short
telegram, read by millions, and forgotten
) almost as soon as read. Scenes of horror,
I the recital of which, if occuring in India
! or Ethiopia, would have made our very
blood curdle before c had become un
bailed bv this horrible civil war, now
moves us no longer. We have become as
blood-thirsty as the veriest painted devil
of an Indian who once scoured the forests
which grew where our cities now stand
Oar preaches are no more ministers of
tlie gospel of the God of eace. The
churches of the land reck with the sicken
in' odors of slaughter, and the occupants
s of many of the sacred desks bawl f rom
j S-ihLath to Sabbath, like howling dervish
1 cs for blood.
j "We are bloodthirsty, thoughtless,
j reckless. Our ones were never gayer
than they are now. The theatres are
crowded nightly, and all the haunts of
pilJed crime are filled to overflowing.
Extravagance is the order of the day,
gaudy equipages, 'turn out of vulgar ar
istocrat?, whose purses have grown ple
tho ic from unl m'ted pubic plunder,
crowJ every avenue : jewelry glitters on
! red finger and arms unused to such
1 aJorrntac tits ; brown-stone fronts arid mar-
bic palaces ?p- ing up, at enormous cost,
1 and if by the stroke of an enchanter's
j wand: tlKy are tilled with gorgeous up
J liulstery, and the occuianta revel iri lux-
! ur.v-
I "We are running a wild race of bloody
deeds, or national and social extrava
gance, of folly and of crime, which is the
Aori'Ier of ti e world. The nations of the
rar:h look on in utter amazement, while
they predict a disastrous end to this mad
career. Is there not good reason to fear
they arc right ? Then must come a day
if r. Zoning. That it will be a very sad
ere no thinking man ran doubt.

LIME AND ANIMAL LIFE.
A rnoorman caught a young alligator
n h'13 iishing kraal in the Matura river,
and I went to see it. It was alive, and
1 to
all appearance there was no rcan
a , - - - - - .
why, if left alone, it should not grow up
to alligator's estate. Its length was about
three and a half feet. Thinking that this
would le a good opportunity for testing
the correctness of what I had heard in
the north of the island about the rernarka-
Me effect of lime upon the alligator, I
fj asked a man to bring me some, on which
procured from : np.oddu
lump of the chunamb, or lime prepared
from shells, which the natives are in the
habit of chewing along with the nut of
the aieca palm, and the leaves of the be
tel creeper. The lime had previously been
moistened with water. Having oiwned
the jaws of our unfortunate victim an
f'prration to which it submitted with ex-
Ilm. 1 . .
uT,ary resignation (when it found it
oiild not prevent it) wc inserted, as far
""K as the
opening into the throat, a
I
ump of chunamb about as lare as a
pipam'n egg, after which we put the ani
tal inta the water. Immediately it turn
1 over on its sides and then on its back,
nd appeared paralyzed ; soon its eyes
closed, and I thought it was dead. After
fcout five tninutea it. revived a little. I
M ma remain r to watch itv but
in the evening I rode to w here it hail been
experimented on, when I found that it
was dead, and learnt that it had died
within two hours of my leaving. On ex
amining its mouth, I found that the lime
had not been swallowed but was still in
the throat just where it had been placed.
I do not remember to have read in any
work on animals of this antipathy of the
alligator to lime ; and it still remains to
be explained how it is that a substance ol
that nature, specially prepared for the use
of man, and by him daily chewed, should
have so powerful and instantaneous an
effect upon an animal otherwise so tena
cious -of life, whn merely placed in the
mouth, without being swallowed. The
experiment may appear to have been a
cruel one, and yet, perhaps, it was the
speediest and easiest mode of killing the
alligator. I may now venture to state
that the Tramuls have an idea that if a
bullet be filled with lime before firing at
an alligator, it will, wherever it penetrates,
cause a wound that will prove mortal. I
have, since making the experiment related
above been told that it is not uncommon
for the Singhalese to fill the stomach of a
bullock with lime, and to place it near
the alligator's haunts, knowing that if he
swallow the lime death will ensue. Tri

Car The impertinent resolutions of the
"Coriicrnckirs' " Exchange, by which it
is endeavored to force John W. Forney
into the Secretaryship of the interior, in
place of Judge Usher, is exciting the risi-
j hies and redicule of epiire a number of
! shoddy journals out of the State. Forney
is represented as the Cameron bid, and if
successful Gov. Curt in and his friends
will be no where. The poor Governor,
although booted enough by the Adminis
tration and it3 satelites, is finding him-S'-lf
getting most woefully bootless.

The Secretary of the Treasurer gives no
tice that subscriptions will be received fur
C )tijKn Treasury Notes, payable three years
from August 15th, 18G4. with semi-annual
interest at the rate of seven and thre-tenths
percent, per annum principal and interest
both to be paid in lawful money.
These notes will be convertable at tha
i ption of the holder at maturity, into six
per ciiit.. gold beating bonds, payable uot
le-s than five tior more than twenty year
from their date, as the Government may
elect. Thv will he t.-ued iu denominations
of $50, $100. $500 $1,000 and $5,000, and
all bubsci iiiUjns must be for fifty duller or
some multiple f fifty dollars.
Hie notes vnll be trtisu,itted to the own
ers free of tr:it:sp rtatiou charges as tuthtx
after the receipt of the otiginal Certificate
of Depi sit as they can be prepared.
As the notes draw interest from August
15. persons making dejKisits subsequent to
that date must pay the interest accrued fsotu
date of note to date of deposit.
Parties depositing twenty-five thousand
dollars and upwards for these notes at any
time win be aiiueJ a commission of one-
quarter of one per cent , winch will be
jiaid by the Ireasury Department upon the
receipt nf a bill for the amount, certified ta
bv the officer with whom it was made. No
deductions for commissious must be mad
from the Jerosits.
SPECIAL ADVANTAGE or THIS LOAN.
It is a National Savings Bnk, offering a
higher rate of interest than r.uy other, and
ihe best security. Any Savings Bank which
pays its depositors in U. S. Notes, considers
that it is paying in the best circulating me
dium of the c-.untry, and i.t cannot pay in
anything better, for its own asets are either
iu government securiti'-s or in Qotea cr bonds
payable in government paper.
It is equally convenient as a temporary o?
permanent investment. The not to can al
ways be sold for within a fraction of their
face and accumulated interest, and are the
best secmity 'A i ill banks as collaterals for
uscoiints.
CoNVLKTIBLB INTO A Six FEB CENT 6-20
GoLD UOND.
In addition to the very liberal interest on
thi notes for three years, this privilege of
conversion is now worth about three per
cent, per annum, for the current rate for
5-20 Bonds is not less than nine per cent,
premium ami btlore the war the piemiuia
on the six per cent. U. S. Stocks was over
twenty per cent. It will be seen that the
actual profit od this loan, at the present
market rate, is not less thau ten per cent,
per annum.
Its Exemption from Stt ob McxicirAi
TAXATi
But aside fiom all the advantages w
have et-umerated. a sp rial Act of O-ngress
exempts alt bonds and Treasury Its from
loC'il taxation. On the average, this exemp
tion i- w-rih about two per cent per an
num, according to the rate of taxation in
varn.us part of the country.
It i believed that no securities offer so great
iuductments to the lenders as those issued
by the government. Iu all other forms of
indebtedness, the faith or ability of private
parties, or stik companies, or separate
communities, only, is p. edged for payment,
while the whole propetly of the country i
bc-!ti to secure the discharge of all the obli
gations of the United States.
While the government ofiers the most
liberal terms tor its loans, it believes that
the very strongest appeal will be to tha loy
a!tv and patriotism of the eorde.
Diinlicate certificates will be isi-nud for all
deposits. The party depa-iting must endorse
upon the original ieriificae the denomina
tion of notes required, aial whether they are
to be i.-sued ir blank, or payable to order.
When so endorsed it must be left with the
officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded
to the Treasury Department.
