| A Substitute for Savings Banks.

The frequent failures of Savings Banks in the United States has directed public atten- tion to the necessity of some new way of enabling the people to invest their savings. The latest move in that direction is the new Bond Bill, which has been reported by the Finance Committee of the Senate to that body. It Treasury to issue, instead of the 4 per cent. bonds authorized by the Act of July, 1870, a sum not exceeding one hundred ee oy coupon bonds in the denomitiations of $25, $50 and $100, and of equal sums of each of these denominations, redeemable in coin after sixty years from date, and bearing in- terest payable semi-annually in coin at thie rate of 4 per cent. per annum, the bonds to be exempt from taxation, and to be made payable to the order of the person who shall pay the money, and to be transferred only by assignment. Coupons are to be payable in legal-tender notes or in coin, at the op- tion of the Government, and are to be paid at any sub-treasury or any money deposit- ory or national bank. The bonds are to be kept for sale at all sub-treasuries and money depositories, and are to be sold at par and accrued interest for coin or legal-tender notes at. the market rate, such notes to be re-issued and their proceeds and the coin received for bonds, &c., to be used in re- deeming outatanding 5-20 bonds.

The Horrors of War.

The horrors of war are described with ghastly realism in some ‘‘ Side Notes from an Avtist’s Sketel+book” in the Daily News. On the first morning of the year the corres- pondent set out from Fratesti for Puteien in Roumania. Afar off, a long, dark line moving in caterpiller-fashion broke the ho- rizon. It was a column of Turkish priso- ners marching—-the meh who once kept the lower of the Russian army at ‘bay around Half-starved, almost dead yith fa- igue and severe cold, many with feaver purning in their eyes—mere stalking bones und foul.rags-~ came. the brave troops who made the fame of Osman Pasha. Thousands of birds of prey whirled. round and settled in front and rear, always followed this grim »rocession like sharks round a doomed ship. A few yards further on lay, half covered with snow, anude body of another dead lurk, stripped by his companions for the little warmth of the rags he were. A crow had settled on hif clenched hand, and the dogs were slinking reund their victims At night a star and the crescent moon, the only signs in the clear sky, shine brilliantly. ‘here is the ominous black line wending wp the valley—mofe- wretched prisoners, foot- sore and weary, with their cadaverous faces and ice-laden beards.

Bainbridge’s Visit to Constanti-

2 -nople.

Abi American vessel of war was the first to pass through the Dardanelles and proeeed to Constantinople without the permission of the

Ottoman authorities after Russia established its

power in the Black Sea: The great maritime governments of Europe had long been in the habit of bribing or paying tribute tothe Bar- hary States to respect the law of nations, and it was perhaps §o soon to expect that America, a country that had so recently been a colony, should be the first to refise compliance with the degrading custom. At ail events, in May, 1890, Captain Bainbridge was appointed to the frigate ‘‘George Washington,” which was or- dered to carry a large amount of tribute to the regency of Algiers. After the completion of this mission the Dey compelled him by threats of capture and declaration of war to convey an Algerine Embassy to Constantinople When the ‘‘George Washington” entered the Bos- phorous he felt some embarrassment as to the course he should pursve. He had no firman; his country was hardly known at the Ottoman Porte, and he might be delayed weeks negoti- ating for permission to go up to the city. From this dilemma he relieved himself by the happy and prompt expedient of aseaman. The forts were armed with cannon, carrying immense balls of stone, and pointed in a manner to com mand the channel. These guns, however, were stationed in such amanner as to be entirely useless the moment the ship was out of range. The rest of the defences of the straits at the time were very immaterial. As this vessel ap- proached the castles‘he made the naval prep- arations for anchoring. When nearly up with them she commenced firing a salute, which was instantly returned from the shore, and at

this moment, when the frigate was partially | coneealed With smoke, sail was made, and be-#

fore the Turks could recover their surpris® being totally unprepared for ‘a thing so un usual, she was beyond their'reach. On reach-

ing Constantinople the offiters who cime on |

board declared they had never heard of such a nation ag the Uuited States. Bainbridge re- plied that the ‘George Washington” belonged to the *‘New World,” and the answer was ac- cepted as satisfactory. “Me remained: nearly two months at the capital and was treated with much distinction. Bainbridge was censured for yielding to the menaces of the Dey of Al- giers, but excused himself on the ground that he consented to go to Constantinople with the view to show the American flag and pave the way for a treaty,

’ ~ | Siam Meditates War on China.

| Siam is said to be preparing rapidly for «war (against China. A torpedo defence is in pro- gress ; Gatling guns ave talked of ; forts are | got up in order ; and the telegraph line, lately | spoken of, together with a railway survey will | be put off til more peaceful times. JThe cause | that may lead to a waris a demand from China | for a renewal of the tribute. | and Burmah, once senttribute to Pekin-——-Siam every three years, Nepal every five years, and Burmah every ten. Nepal gave up send- ing the tribute in 1857, sending it again, how- ever, in 18565; , Siam declared her inde pendence m 1852, just before her treaties with the Western powers. The last Siamese mission had been robbed on its way, and this was offered as an excuse. Seven years ‘ago. however, Siam offered to send an ambassador to Pekin by a new route ; but the Chinese Government refased to hear of any innovation, and has lately sent letters threat ening war, in case the tribute is not sent ac- cording to the old practice.

The Man from Boston.

A few weeks ago, says a Virginia (Nev.) saper, a man from Boston arrived on the Comstock to inspect its novelties. Whateyer he saw, however, did not astonish him in the least. Nothing could. be shown him tliat he would net. gravely remark upon, saying :— “Boston has just one like it, only bigger.” Last evening he was passing the International Hotel on B street, just at dusk, when a cap of the chimney was blown down by the wind, The cap wasa cirenlar piece of sheet iron, painted black, and slightly convex. ‘The four supports which connected it with the chimney were like legs; which held ita few inches from the ground. As it fell it struck just in front of hn, rebounded a few times in the air, and then, blown by the wind, went skimming along the walk like a living thigg.

“What's that?” the Boston man asked, somewhat astonished.

. ‘A bed-bug from the hotel.”’ replied a wag, ‘* just coming down, for a little exercise.” ‘* By George!” exclaimed the stranger, ‘I never saw anything hike it in my life,”’—and then, recollecting his home tn Bagton. added- ‘‘ outside of Boston.”

Mr. H. M. Sranuey, the African explor- er, is already experiencing the burden of Fame. Ve wants rest and opportunity of “rehabilitation,” for when he reached the

cean he only weighed 119 pounds, and though he has since been gradually improv- ing in weight, he must yet stand im need of comparative repose after his protracted and arduous absence from comfort and civiliza- tion. Deputations and banquets, however, fare the order of the day m_ Paris, and, ‘though, in his attenuated comdition, the latter may net be amiss, feasts of the for- mal lionizing sert unhappily involve speech- es, which to many people are a more formi- dable ordeal than explorations of unknown continents. However, Mr. Stanley, we be- lieve, is as facile in the gift of recounting adventures, and in suitable responses to toasts and complimentary addresses, as he has proved himself to be able and intrepid asan explorer: So that, we dare say, he will acquit himself weil enough to satisfy even the fastidious and accomplished society |of Paris saloons. He is besieged by people | who.want to hear him recount some of the jinnumerable adventures he met with in his long solitary journeys, and it is said that | the plain matter of fact way in which he sets forth the story of his experiences invests all he says with.a singular interest.

Tue prospect that eggs willin England become an expensive luxury, like oysters, is rather startling to the uninitiated, "@8pecia)- ly in view of the immense importation from other countries. Yet some of ur metropo- litian contemporaries think it will soon be realized if matters go on as at present. An agricultural journal says that the price of new laid eggs in the suburbs of London is actually 25d. each! And yet France alone exported to England last year a supply am- ounting to nearly £2,000,000 in value. Of course English agriculturists could, if they chose ‘‘ grow” their own eggs, but somehow or other they would seem to despise the pro- fit accruing from such trifles, and are too lordly to condescend to anything short of grain and ‘‘ stock.” Small cultivators, however, might, at any rate, give their at- tention to the profits derived from poultry- raising instead of confining themselves to the pig or two, beyond which their ideas do not ssem to ascend. In the absence of other sources of supply, some of the dealers, ra- ther than to disappoint their customers, are setting up henneries on their own acconmit. But the worst of it is too many English people have a notion that hens require httle care, next to no food, and no more exercise than what a coop affords, or at best a back- |yard covered with netting. In France they understand these thihys better, and give ithe poultry a run of a ficld, which inTéed is ' Eggs at 22d each ought to inake+ importation from

Canada a profitable venture, provided that due care be used in transport and in pack- ing them in the most approved tecthods.
