The legal tender notes show clearly what the result of the experiment is: they save the pee fie from being taxed the amount', of the interest on the debt the represent, which is a great im provement on the bank note system. If the tax is removed from the banks, as there is every reason to believe it will be, is there anj reason why a "3-per cent. twenty year bond should not be at a. premium of $100? On every $100,000 the national bankers buy they can deposit them with the secretary of the treasury, and get -back $00,000 bank notes, worth just as much as the money they pay for these bonds; so that really they have oniy $10,000 out, jm which they draw $"j,000 a year, at 33 per cent, on the amount in-Tested. 33.

Grace, newly-elected mayor of that city, is likely to prove unpopular among the politicians and piace- seekers, he will show himself en tirely capable and worthy of the high office he has been chosen to fill. His inaugural message to the -beard of aldermen betrays an inti mate acquaintance with the duties of the city government, and gives confidence that the best results may be expected from his admin istration. The New York Tribune, the strongest opponent to his can didacy, and the only paper attack ing him on personal grounds dur iug the late excited campaign, publishes his message in full, and states that it was conclusive evi dence since the election of the wrong done Mr. Grace in the charges against him personally, which it withdraws. Mr. (J nice is sound on the public school ques tion, which gave rise to so much anxiety among his opponents, and his assurances in this regard will be amply met. On the whole, we think the people of Xew York will have every reason to feel sat isfied with their choice, and that Mr. Grace, to use his own words in an interview immediately after the election, "will not be the may or of either faction or party, but of the whole people." :l::f;n! tueaciia.ru & hpshdr soldier and statesman.

And now that he has returned to his own land we find him declaring his readiness to enter upon any duties and active engagements which he may be able to perform acceptably as a private citizen of our great republic, and his letters, his speeches, ami articles from his pen published in the press of the country must be considered fortu nate for the American people. ikai.ki:s IN SHIP CHANDLERY PROVISIONS, IRON, . .1 CORSET W -'. -rlfV.i. tuitv Im iutnlwil mi Si f ".-Wori.1 ai ?i .wis. nnitiiY's. fM MaMHik-Hall Kuilili 'Jrl I i'er"i Main ami su Itiiiltliiis.iitr- S(Ul'IIHMlht TJESPECTED AND COMMENDED BY ALL FOR ITS Impartiality, Ability, Fairness and Reliability.

During a recent lectin e in IVovi . dence, Mrs Livermore, in com menting on the wronirs which women suffer, remarked that when she learned that her first-born was a girl, she turned her face to the wall and wept.

A project is on foot in Montreal for making a railroad tunnel under the falls of Niagara. The present session of the Cali fornia, legislature promises to be as fruitful in unconstitutional bills as the last. A little firmness on the part ol sensible members in each house blight diminish the humbug. The New York legislature is in a serious scare that the sad catas rophe which occurred iia the ltichmond cnpitol some eight years ago will be rehearsed in Albany. It is understood that the building is insecure, and a general smash up imminent at every moment. A train "uivim run into a snow drift on the Delaware river railroad a feK duysHgo, the president sunt this dis pHtuh to the conducter: "L'se all the fence rails you can lay your bunds on if your cohI givus out; throw ma barn or two if nuce.sMty; and if that fails you, tko all the jrk offered at SO tiei hundred. Koep your steam up and come throufc at any oust." The conductor awl engineer obeyed in stritctioiMs. The Nomstown Herald says: Hens are now laying eis that cost forty-five and fifty cunts a den, and this ii the strontje'H argument for free trade that can be rodueed. Abolish our protective tnntf and britij the woik of foreign hens in competition with our own fowls, and egijs would go down to fifteen cents a dozen, if not lower.
