It is not a leral tender, and, as bullion, will not sell for quite as much gold as the greenback. The latter oscillates at 97, while the trade dol]u_is worth about 95. If it were a full tegal tender it would be worth, of course, !3?, and perhaps 100, cents in gold. Itis & beautiful coin, and has a delightful ring.

Tane TRIBUNE will give place, with pleasure, to any bappy illustration which Mr. Myers may please to furnish of the present financial coudition of the depositors in the M., F. & M., und wilt also gladly give Mr. MYERS an oppor- tunity to show his aptitude in putting his ideas into words which portray to the ordinary mind —that of Receiver WaRD included—a clear un- derstanding of the currency needs of his bank. —————— The question of the injurious effect of cigar- ette-smoking is considered by the New York Sun, which judzes as an expert that the cigar- ette is worse than the pine or cigar for people of weak lungs or a tendency to bronchial troubles.

Dr. C. F. FoLsod, of the Massachnsetts Board of Health, has written 3 memoir, which forms no inconsiderable part of the last anuual repéit of Haat-dody, to show that the words of the poct are scientifically cor- rect.

The advertisement of Joaquin Miller's new book, ‘‘The Baroness of New York.” must have been written by the poct himself between sherry, champagne, and kirschwaesser. The book Is thus described: ** The longeet and most ambitions work of this author; with a vlot as intricate as the most pussionate love tale, and the sume lawless melody and breezy freshness that distinguish the best works of the author of *Songs of the Sierras.’” It is stated in the Chronigue des Aris that AL Thiersha! it in contemplation, at the time of ‘his death, 2o write a listory of Florence, and also a Life or Michel Angelo. He was, 2sis well kmown, an able art-connoisseur and critic, and found time among all_his other avocations to con- tribute nomerous articles on msthetic subjects to various journals and reviews. It is hoped that these will now be gathered together in a volume. Col. Robert Ingersoll holds strong opin- jons on cookery. He says that cooking is one of the fine arts; that it takes far more sense to be an excellent cook than a tolerable lawyer; and that he is 2 good cook himself, and has no other accom- plishment of which he is xo proud. And he adds, with what may reasonably be called emphusis, +‘There ought to be a law passed making ita crime punishable with imprisonment in the Pen- itentiary 1o fry becfsteak.” One of Kentucky's prodigies is thus de- ecribed by a newepaper printed in Henderson, that State: **There is 2 white man in our city, asober, sensible gentlemun, now in his 42d year, who hasa good common cducation.

WASRINGTON, Sept. 27.—Scerctary Sherman ha<been the object of so much newsoaper criti- cism of late, that it has been thouzht advisable, this cvening, to get his side of the story. He was, therefore, called upon and put through a course of questioning. He was found at. home, in good humor and disposed to tatk. He had a pile of papers before him, much like an_editor’s sanctum. He said laree numbers of newspapers were sent to him oflicially, often marked to at- tract his attention, some quite friendly and some quite the rvverse. ABOUT NEWSPAPERS. The leading dailics come to him regularly, but he bad pot aliays time to open them, much less to read them. But he devotes one or two hours each evening to them, and tried to keep unpwith the current events and opinions. The energy and enterprise of the press were amaz- ing. It made and controlied public opinion, and could fairly be_called the third estute, us potent as either House of Congress. Fortu- nately, newspapers are ephemeral s snow- flakes. What tlicy say that is false is apt to die out or be contradicted the next day. Some are fair and just, and some make it 8 poivt to per- vmit and lie, but they balance each other very well. STATEMENTS NOT WORTI CONTRADICTION. The public will find out what to believe in a very short time. He had read about himself ionwmnerable falschoods, but did not contradict. them unless they injuriously affected others. He had been madc a candidate -for the Senate when he never mentioned or thought of it. He was charged with levying assessments on clerks for political purposes, when hehad refused even 10 mention & wish on the subje He intended to go home and vote and contribute to the elec- tion, but that was his own busiucss. NOT BUILDING TOUSES TO ANY GREAT EXTENT. It was said that he was building sixty hou: while the only bouse e had bwile this summer was anew stable in the place of onethat was top- plingdown. He had eoid some vacant Jots down by the railroad to un association of enterprising mechanics, who were builaing a fine lot of houses on them, and on lots purchased trom others, giving employment to 4 zood many men. He was charged with oppressing and grinding the people, when all he had done was to reduce expenses, 1cssen the rate of interest, and add to the valuc of every dollar of paper mouey. NO INTEREST IN TIE SYNDICATE. He was falscly charged with being interested in the Syndicate, when he had ouly the same interest that every good citizen has, and made the best possible bargain for the public with them, and held them to their contract. These and other falsehoods he hud read: but, after all, he believed sensible people would learn the truth, and_give him creditif he did right, and was very willing to be held responsible if he did wrong. RETICENCE ABOUT TREASURY MATTERS. In reply to the remark that some of the news- papers are disposed to complain_that he s reti- cent about matters in the Treasiry, and refuses to answer questions, he saia that on the con- trary it was his effort to keep the public con- stantly advised of the exact condition of the Treasury. He had enlarged the monthly debt- statement, which gave all the items of the pub- lic debt. Withina weck after that was pub- lished he had prepared and published a state- ment showing uhe principal financial statistics of the Treasury,—the ageregate acbt, cash jn hand, the price of gold, cte., and contrasted it with the same items of the same date one year pre- vious. This statement shows Lhe exact chanzes in the condition of the Trcasury, and every item was a favorable one. He had published, and intended hereaiter to publish, on the 13th day of each month the exact cash in the Treasury at that date.and the purposes for which it isheld. This had not been aone be- fore. He alwayszave to the press the daily balances in the Treasury and the daily receipts from customs and internal revenue, and all ac- tual occurrences in the Department of interest to the public. He said he was reticent only in what he intended todo, and that reticence “was Justifiable and necessary. ALWAYS READY TO FURNISH FACTS. But no Sceretary was more ready than he to give exact facts as they occur, and this had been and would be given at"the same time to the As- sociated Press and all correspondents alike without distinction or favor. [f-he refused to be cross-examined and answer questions prema- turelv, it was out of no disrespect to the corre- spondents, who wisned to get ahead in cather- ing items, but solely from a senseof duty to the sreneral public, who want facts and not conjec- tures nor lies. THE 4 PER CENT LOAN. As to the assertion that the 4 per cent loan is mot selling as rapidly as he had anticipated, he said that that is a mistake. He did not expect when so favorable aloan for the Government was ofiered that it would be taken as rapidly as ichas been. Thirty days were given to sub- scribe, and three months to pay. Twenty-seven willions were subscribed, an arc now being paid for, he believed, in every case, and he be- lieved that every subscription would be paid before the 16th of Octuber, when d1e, and he was entirely confident that the loan will be re- sumed immediately afterwards. As a matter of course, it oughtnotto be forced, and Con- gress might greatly aid him by authorizing the receipt of United States notes for boous, when le could conduct the business directly with the people. The very best possible investment for ‘savingsis in these bouds, which will not be likely to vary in market value. The members of the Syndicate arcin fine spirits, and quite ganguineas to the success of loan, and two of them are now making arranzements to o to Eurupe to @ive their personal attention to their 5 abroad. \ WHT THE +-PER-CENTS ARE. OMITTED PROM THE DEDT STATEMENT. The Secretary said he had recelved a great manylettersinquiriog why the 4-per-centsalready sold did not appearin thé public debt statement. He had ot time to answer all these letters, but the reason is that they bave uot yet been deliv- ered, and the 6-per-centa called in have not yeu been retired. If the +-per-cents should appear in the debt statement before the 6-per-cents are retired, the pablic debt would not be correctl stated, s 1t would appear to be larger than it Teally }s by the amount of 4-perents already subscribed, v UNFORTU! TOR CONELING. When Senator Coul 's performances of vesterday were referred to, the Secretary smilea grimly, avd said that he thought it was unfortu- nate for the Senator that he (Senator Conkling) could not restrain his combative proclivitics. Beyond this he seemed to have nothing to say on'that sabject. BOURBONS. What Sonthern Gentlemen In- Cincinmati Think of the Course of Southerncrs Who Gave a Cold Shoulder to the President. Cinctnnati Commercial, Sept. 28. Last evening Maj. Samuel V. Reid sat in one of the big, cosy, velvet-covered arm-chairs at the base of a tall pillar in the Grand Hotel rotunda. An idea struck o Commercial reporter that, as the Major is an ex-Confederate soldier, and by . zeneral consent a sort of representative of that large class amoug our citizens, it would he worth while to ascertain his opinion on the President’s Southern trip, and upon those Southerners who made themselves conspicuous by refusals to unite with the masses in welcom- inz President Hayes and his Cabive 8o our reporter sauntered over and roosted on the arm of the Major’s chalr, saying, as he did s jor, what is your opinion of the course of Boyd Winchester and Robert Wooley, in Louis- ville, and Jubal Early and John W." Danicl, in yuchburg, during the President’s visit to those cities? " ) ‘¢ [ will tell you my opinion,” replicd Maj. Rei ¢ 1t is that they that made agreat mistake. I'spent four years in the War, and 1 want uo more of tt. Those vien you meution are simply ten vears behind the times. In the ouward march of events they will be crushed. The Louisville meu who published cards refusing to take any part in the reception and entertuin- ment committed a sad error of judgment, as well as an outrage upon hospitality and good taste. and they will live to rue the ddy they took such o course. Their cxample was' followed by Jubai Early and John W. Dauicl, who prove the fact that they belong to aclass of ‘potatoes? the best of which arc under the ground. The Southern people appreciate President Haves as the first man wno has allowed themn to fulfill their contract with the Govern- ment to become Ameriean citizens. ‘The Southern soldiers. barcfooted and half fed, followed the Confederste fiag throngh bloody battle after bloody battle, because they were bound to do it fu support of certain prin- ciples. They helped scttle certain questions that the politicians had fought.over for fiity years, and they are, in some respect, as much entitled to credit as the Northern soldier. Since the War they have been so- shackled by political adventurcrs that they have bad no op- portunity to exhibit teeir true tmanhood and disposition to bouor their bond. It has heen left to President Il to strike off thosc les, and the Conlederate soldier to-day stands forth as true to the United States G..v- ernment as it is, not as be would have it, as the 1 a_from Mame or Massachusetts; and the potitician, whetlier from North or Soutn, who thrusts himsell in the way of peace and recon- ciliation will meet with dofeat in his plans, and ineur the deserved contempt of his countrymen. **Joln W. Daniel bas just met with a politi- cal defeat and 1s disgruntled, but he is us clever a meatleman there isin the countrv. He has made a mistake and has been misled. He will be ull right in time. Jubal Early is still fighting in the War. With hiw it will never be over. Butthe old feeling that engendered the War has died out among the Southern people, aud they are prepared now to march to the music of the Union. Nincty-five per cent of them are_now indorsing what they would have elad to huve indorsed years uzo, but v have been prevented Biaines, and Butlers, and Gearys, and Toombses, and the rest of that class. North snd South are marching forward to peace, and reconciliation, and pross ty, and thev will brush aside the zmats ot ord as they zo. The soliiers of the South, now that ine flag covers them equally with their Northern bretbren, claim it 28 their own, and well they may. for in the far away past, in the first great strugele for free- dom, every stripe upon it was painted with the commingled blood of Massachusetts, Virginia, and the Curolinas.” Just bere, when Maj. Reid paused to light a cigar, two other gentlemen who had served in the Confederute army, Donelson, of the Twenty-se funtry. and Mr. Breut Arnold, who the Kentuckinus in John Morgan’s famous bat- talion. Both these zentlemen beartily indorsed what Maj. Reid had said in regurd to the actions of Boyd Winchester, Bob Wooley, Jubal Early, and Mr. Daniel, saying these gentlemen had ail made a mistake they would one day be sorry for, and added that among thu seores—yes, hundreds—of Coufederate soldiers who arc now in Cincinnati, there could scarcely be found one to indorse their course. CHEAPER AND BETTER. ‘The war on high prices inaugurated by Law- rence & Martin, 111 Madison strect, continues to mect with public favor. When it is known that the best of whiskics, sherries, gins, and ports can be had at $1 per bottle. people do not hesitate to invest in such luxuries. They are now putting up assorted cases of a dozen bot- tles (three of whisky, three of sherry, three of gin, and three of port) for $10, and being in con- venient form and the purest of zoods, are beinz taken rapidly by drugyists snd families. All goods are delivered “frec. In the cigar line Messrs. Lawrence & Martin are causing quite a flatter. for they are selling Scidenburg and oth- er best brands of Key West ciaars three for a quarter. Tins is unprecedented. 1t is also be- coming _generally known that this firm spreads one the finest gentlemen’s lunches to be found in Chicago. Their bar is stocked from their wholcsale stock with the very best of every- thing. —— THE GERMAN SAVINGS-BANK. The reader will find in another columa the quarterly statement of the German Savings- Bank. The Fidelity, State, and M., F. & M. bave gone, but it remains. A new featurc which will be most reassuring to depositors is the certificate of the Directors, including such men as Thomas Hoyne, Elias Greenebaum, Henry Greenebaum, ete., that they have ex- amined the securitics, and satisfied themsclves that eversthing is as it is represented to be. The statement shows that the liabilities are £700,000, and cash on hand and bonds, $190.000, while the $300,000 of mortgages are stated to be selling casily at a premium. The remainder of the assets are stated 1o be equally zood. The bank is paying 4¢ per cent on deposits, while others pay 4. It can do this because it does not have to pay the Government tax of one-half of 1 pereent duc from bauks which do not allow over 4 per cent interest. —e— OF INTEREST TO THE LADIES. We published last Sunday a clipping from a Washington paper, announcing the intended re- moval of the famous modiste, Mme. Emma Soule, from Washington to this city. To-day ‘we can chronicie the removal as au fait accompli. This cclebrated lady, so widely known to all American travelers in Paris prior to the Franco- Prussian war, and during the past four years to the ray society of Washington, bas really come to Chicago anid opened the most_clezant milli- nery and costurning parlors at 170 State street, oppesite the Falmer House, cver scen in the est. . e—— AMONG THE OLD ROCK-BOTTOM financial institutions of St. Louis which have ‘withstood all tbe panics, is the Franklin [nsur- ance Company. This Company has been in suc- cessful operation for over twenty-two years, and has paid one million of dollars for losses, Its assets are over §300,000, including $120,000 of United States bonas and an equal amount of Missouri State bonds. The Chicazo agzency of the Franklin _has been transferred to Dan M. Bowmar, 152 Ladalle strees. il e "“THE FIDELITY BANK" may pay 30 cents on a dollar or it may not. But all clothing bought of Kent & Miller, of 129 South Clark street, is sure to prove worth ten dimes every dollar 1t costs.
