He now has a deposit in banik of eleven thousand four hiundredO and thiirty-threoe dlollsars, which rep resents the net profits of his grand father, who dhied1 last month in New York, leaving no other heir.

Stirring up the British Lio n, Theli following explains Itself, and is published to show how (lhe British Lion has been stirried up. It is very amusing: To the REditor' of the New York .1lerald: It ap.pears, from the virulent attacks mnade in a morning contemplo rairy, that the proposal of Cyrus WV. Field, to erect a monument to Major Andre, the British spy, is not favora b)1y received by the so-call American people, it is strange that a people0 such as the Americans, who are the riff'ralrfand descendant s of the scum of .Euirope, should1( object to have a monument r'aised to (lhe memory of a goodl Englishman wh'lo used( all his effor'ts to helpl the suipremacy of Uritish power1 in this country. And had the English beenm then successiul, had they subjugated the colonists, there would not be to-dayl such villany anmd corruption In this upstart, nmushi room couuntruy.

Yours respec.t fully, A Britlsher'. hENRY F. PAR~sTON, 236 East Forty eighth Street. Bills of the Bank of the State. General Hlagood has issued circular orders to all the auditors and treasur ers, that in~ cases whore parties have tendered bills of the Bank of the State, 'they may be allowed to come forward now and pay tho tax ini good nimney without cost 'or penalty, '1 having the subsequent right to any remedy now given by law. The bills will be returned to the parties. Sixty I days are allowed from the 24th of Docember for rodemption, after which lands not thus rodeemed will be sold. In consequenct of ihIs, many taxpayers in Charleston have re deemed their bills and paid in good money, most of them without protest, as they got a clear receipt in making nonno. In consequence of this action the bills have gone down in the market to forty cents on the dollar. As the State oflbrs to fund them at fifty oents, it is not probable that any more will be ten4cred for taxes, especially as the holders are now re quired to pay in good money as well as in hills, with the ulthnato prospQct of having the former refunded, if the court docides in favor of the genuine ness of the bank bills. LEGISLATION ON THIE STATE DEBT. Three Act,s vere passed at the recent session of the Logislattire relating to the public debt. Tile first of those is "An Act to ex tend the time for funding the unques tiolnablo debt of this State," enld its eflect is sinply to contliio the funding of ante-bellum securities, as authorized by the Consolidaiion Act of 1873, with the important difforenco that the inter est must be funded up to July 1, 1879, instead of up to January 1, 1874. The second is "Ali Act to provide for the fundinig of the interest past due oin the vali Consolidation debt of the State." This Act provides that the State treasurer shall receive from the holders, willing to surrender the same, all unpaid coupons and interest orders due prior to January 1 1879, on the Consolidation bonds and cer tilicates of stock issued nuder the Con soli<lation Act, which are recognized as valid, and to give in lieu thereof coupon hon<ls or certificates, equal in almounlt to the face value of the cou p)mms or interest orders so surren. iered. The third is "An Act to amend an act to provide for the settlement of the uintunde(I debt of the State, incurred bvfore the 1st of November, 1876.'' This Act continues in force Comis sioner Coit's Court until December, 1879, 1111( gives thai officer $2,400 per anum for his services.-Arews and Cou rier. ALF1ED mvTIELr7DGE'$ CALL. Mr. Alfrod Ethelridge ia bashful Io does not deny it. He wishes he wasn't, somotimes, but wishing doesn't seem to holp -his case much. Everybody in Burlington likes him, except the father of a young lady out on Pond street. With an in stinctivo knowledge of this old gentleman's foolings, Alfied had forborne to aggravate them and kept out of the father's way as much as possible, atoning for this appear - ont neglect by socing the daughter twice as often.' The other after noon, Alfred went by the stops and rang the bell. The door opened and Papa stood glaring at him, look ing a thousand things and saying nothing. Alfred Etholridge had never felt quito so lost for language in his life. Presently ho stood on one foot and remarked: "Good afternoon l' "Goof toon," grunted papa, which is, by interpretation, also good afternoon. pop-is your daughter at home ?" asked Alfred, standing on the other foot. "Yes, sir," said papa, rather more shortly than Alfred thought was absolutely necessary. Then nobody saidl anything for a long time. Pres ently Alfred Ethelridge stood on both feet, asked : "Is she in ?" "Yes, sir," said papa, not budging u step from his position in the door, and looking as though he was deal ing with a boo0k agent instead of one of the nicest young men in Bur lington. Thon Alfred Et.helridge stood on his right log and said : "Does she-can she receive com pany ?#" "Yes, sir," papa said, savagely not at all melted by the pleading into. nation of Alfred's voice, which every body else thought was so irresisti, b'ly swe et. Then Alfred Ethelridge stood on his left foot and said: "Is she at home ?"' "Yes, sir," papa said, kind of cold ly. Alfrod Ethelridge looked down the street and sighed, then he looked uip at papa and shivered. Then he stood on the right foot again and -said: "Is she in ?" ''Yes, sir," papa said, grimly and never taking his eyes off the young man's uneasy face. Alfrod Etholridge sighed and looked up the street, then lie stood on his left foot and looked at papa's kneos and said timidly, and in tremulous tones: "Can she se. met?" "Yes, sir," papa said, but ho nev er moved, and ho looked pleasant. He only stood still and repeated a second time, "Yes, sir." Alfred Ethelridge began to feel ilh He looked up and down the street and finally pinned his wan dering azn to the aid spot n the top of papa's head, thou he said "Will you please tell her that Mr. Alfred Ethelridge called ?" "Yes, sis," said papa, and he didn't say anything more. And some how or other Alfred Ethel ridge kind of sort of got down off the porch and vent kind of out of the gate, like. He discontinod his visits there, and explained to a friend that the old man didn't say any thing that wasn't all right and cor dial enough, but the mannor of him was rather formal. RIDING ON THE COW-CATCHER. H e was a "cull'ed tramp," and ap. proacrhed Captain Jaso Phillips, as the train hauled up at Powee: "Is you do capt'in ob do koars ?" "Yes," replied Jase. "Don't want fo' ter hire any dock hands, duz ye I" "No I I'm not running a steam boat." "Zactly I Mout I ride straddle ob de cow-snatcher to do nex' landin'? I'se busted, an' a long ways from home." "Get on. All aboard !" And the negro straddled the cow catcher. Ed. Gilligan pulled the throttle wide open, and the -train bad not gone more than half a mile before the engine collided with a cow, throwing it over a fence into a cornfield, and the negro after the cow. Next day, coming down, the negro limped up to Jase at the same depot, and said : "Boss, I didn't ride fur wid yer on dat cow.-snatcher; kase, ye see, do cow wanted to ride dar, too, an' dar wan't room for bofe uv us ; so we got off togedder up h'yar in do corn field for to rest. De next time I rides wid ye I'll freeze to do tqil-gate of do wagon. Hit's safer." According to an English M. P., the most horrible-looking crowd in the world is, a Glasgow mob. He says : "A Glasgow mob is the very worst mob in the world. Swearing in England is very bad, but in Scot land it is awful. Theie was but one respectable man at this meeting; he lived at Ruther Glen, and has since been hanged for murder." CHESE!
