It is con- sidered in official quarters that a deposit of ve ber cent. of the reserves affords too slight a foundation for operations. Some banks failed to deposit even that amount when the bureau was established, aud it was difficult to induce them to comply with the law. ‘The amounts of worn and mutilated notes for redemptiva daily received ate now comparatively small, but it is feared that if the bureau should resume, wit cut due preparation, notes would be received in such accumulated quantities asto materially embarrass business.

Enterprise's San Francisco let- ter says :—Your readers have already learned of the approaching marr! of J. P. Jones to the sccomplithed Georgie Sullivan, daughter of Eugene L. Sullivan, of this city. In the inter- eet of your lady readers, who are supposed to be especially curious on such topics, I may say that Mise Sullivan is of the bionde type, with -on- siderable color, and tall and slender in figure. She tsnotstrictly pretty, bat has an open, azree- able countenance, and’ makes up in style what she may lack in beauty. This young lady formed one of an amatent corps who sppeared on the Napa boards about a year ago in the play of “ My Neighbor's Wife.” ‘The eceasion was an entertainment gotten up to replenish the treasury of the Episcopal church of that place, Miss Sullivan atthe time heing one of the church choir.

Game In Vincinia.—Deer are multiplying in great numbers im the vicinity of Petersburg. Va. The words in every direction are filled wih them, and so bold have they become that their tracks are to be seen within the limits of the a the plsntations of ea which ing th The Fire Engineers’ Conyention. The national fire engineers’ convention in semsion at St. Louis last week discussed numer- ous propositions to secure the efficiency of the fire department of our large cities. Among other things the use of stand pipes in buildings was s subject of recommendation. Stand pipes areiron pipes of sbout the dimensions of the ordinary hose used at fires, and reaching from the bottom to the top of a building and con- nected with the water suppiy of the city. Hose may be attached to them at any floor, dd any room of the whole butiding fuoded in a shor: time. That these staud pipes are a very lent auxiliary to a fire department is e from the fact that insurance companies reduc rates 5 per cent. where such appliances are pro- vided. ‘The representatives of jarge cities like Cincinnati, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, and Chicago favored the erection of these pipes. Ip New York there are a large number of swres im which the pipes have been pat up, and are sometimes covnccted with stesin pumps. They have trequently been found of use, when the @4,.th of hose was sufficiently great, in putting out incipient fires. A comsiltice of the con- vention recom J that stand pipes be erected in all large buildings and warehuuses. The ex pense is not great, and the reduction in inser. apce premiums would pay for their erection in ashort time. Among the other recommeata- tions of the convention committees are 1. That the engines should be kept always in such order that they can be manned and be ef- ficient at a mome! netice. t chiefs should haye sapreme control ot their men. This control is necessary to secure thorovgh discipline and insure the greatest cfliclency of the departments. 3. That standing ladders should be erected on all public buildings, large manufactories, lio- tels, eto. 4. That iron sbutters should come into gene- ral use on warehouses, facturies, etc.; and that ehutters above the firet story should be provid- cd with fastenings accessibie from the outsule, in order that firemen might open them speedily. 5. That in all cities with a population of 250,- (CO Inbabitants and upwards, the mains shoul: not be less than 22 inches in diameter. Chicago is not the only city in which the mains are too small, The committee of the convention on water su; ply reported that the supply of water in almost every city is inadequate. That in the mercantile portions of cities battlement walls of brick or other fireproof ma- terval should be constructed at least five feet above the roof, with Lose openings twenty-tive feet apart and three teet above the root. 7. That there should be to every three engines one truck with six to ten ladders. 8. That reiief engines are 9 necessity, and should always be kept im order. 9. That cities should forbid the erection of buildings of euch beight that their rvofs are out of the reach of the fire apparatus. 10. That only competent machinists should be cmployed as engineers of steam fire engines. 11. That paid fre departments be organizes in all cities and towns Besides these recommendations of commit- ters, the convention adopted a resolution com merding to fecal gowernuwents the ensctmen: ordinances providing that in the purchase of hese the quaiity ebonid be the best, and that th lowest biccer sLouig be ignored, Pourricat Noves —Hon.
