B THE ATHENS Aleck Stephens onl&e sumption “ Do you ll link th 6 resumption act. as it new stands, is any guaranty »*f resumption on toe first of-January, 1879?” askerl the Washington ror- respondent of the Chicago Tribune. “ I don’t,” replied Sir Stephens, "at least, no more than any other act of Cougrees.. If the ooimtiw is unable to resume at that time, wobnre law can effect rCfcumpiion. I fihiifk a great deal more importflhee is at tached to this measure, Initli by <iic friends of the resumption act and the advocates of its repeal, than vlvmSd be. The repeal of the rcstmqrtirin act will be of-some benefit t« the country. It will stay that, process qf contraction which is now so ruinously going on. So the remonetization of silver will do some good, hut not so much liy fatr *•* some of its friends expect. But they, singly or botli together, witlvouV other measures, would afford but iHdfcsht'dseyBf com paratively in the present state of things. If the resumption act be not repealed, and no intermediate reme dial measures be adopted, a state of cc mmcrcial ruin s.r4 bankruptcy will ensue without a parallel in the history of this country, if in any other. The error of extreme advocates of repeal consists in the idea that we have not money enough to answer the purpose of trade, when the trntlH^ we have quite as much nominal currency now an the country needs. The difficulty is not in any deficiency of the uomi- ml currency, but iii r it« rondition. Our actual circulation, hr point of fact, including gold, silver, greenbacks, and national hank notes, probably does hot exceed $400,069,000, While wo have a normal currency of abont $780,000,000. Our financial condi tion is similar to that of a person suffering from congestion. It is not want of more blood, but a diffusion of tiiat which is not performing its healthful function. A large part of c nr nominal is i, state of congestion; is is locked up and hoarded, as well ia private vaults as in banka, because of the want of confidence and other reasons I can not now state. The repeal of the resumption act is not going to give tlw relief needed, nor vould the remo ietizapou of silver db it.

The rose is also associated in We3tpnnlin with a charm against nose-bleeding and other, hemorrhages. This charm con sists in the repMition of words: " In Christ’s garden stand three rosea—-one for the good God, the other for God’s blood, the lhiVd for the angel Gabriel: blood, I pniy ybu, cerise to flow.’’ In Suabia it js soutfjthat different: “On our Lord’f^gidve three rosits; the first ia Hope, the second is Patience, the third is the will of God: “ blopd, I pxay you, be still.”—Heme Journal* New York hasa largo anaconda in its aqnarum, thejwgftder and delight of the small boys of that city.
